the sensation that was caused couple of
moths ago by the reported arrest OF John

double irons by an armed guard to this
city. 1t afterwards turned out that the
mysterious prisoner was a man named
Fuller, who was charged with having
defrauded the Republican central COM
mittee of considerable sum of money.
He was committed to the Old Capital
prison, and remained there until a few
days ago, when he was released without
trial or investigation of any kind.

The trial by court martial of Captain
Petit, for cruelty to prisoners under MS

Al their Old Tricks.

The following extract from the Boston
correspondence of the Springfield RGPab-
EcaH. while it serves to show the manner
in which the radicals regard the result OF
the recent elections, illustrates also one
phase of the superior refinement aud
thorough elegance ofwhich the people OF
