Elliott, City Attorney.
The docket ut the Mayors Court yes
terday numbered thirty-seveu cases
This great increase over previous reports
is easily accounted for in the fact that a
Democratic convention met in the city
day before yesterday. At night mum
Der Of the .'unhung'' visited several
places of public entertainment an
act which is in contravention of an ordi-
nance for such cases made and provided.
Democrats love liberty they hate re-
strictions on the personal liberty OF the
citizen In their simple mindedness
/ they forgot that they might become vic
tins of lar bttrary power" Under Dem
ocratic rule such proceeding would
1 have been perfectly proper But the
''minions" Of the police force were on
the track. At dead of night they broke
in upon some thirty or forty OF the hap
less wights, and without a warrant
dragged them forth, also the resident in
mates, IN sheer defiance of the principle
that every mans Tor woman house is
his Tor herr castle" From some unac-
countable cause, the delegates all forgot
their names, and to the inquiries of the
police, who were DESTROYS of recording
strange coincidence, they could only
think of such names as John Smith,
John Jones - u ohm Robinson" etc
Strange that these REPRESENTATIVES of a
party who, through good, through i'll.
through sunshine and storm. had been
true to their political faith; who, not
withstanding his unpopularity, were won
to shout for Jefferson Davis, and thought
no air so beautiful as MY Maryland.
My Maryland'-should have quailed
before tue tyrannical .'minions of arbi
trary power But we have the author
ity of several respectable witnesses that
they did quail. The oft proposed vii
lingness to endure if necessary, the
pains of martydom, for liberty's sake,
was not very triumphatly vindicated in
this great trial-for they vehementlv
protested their unwillingness to pass
even single day in prison, and all adj
vanced the requisite security for their APP
zpearance at the police office in the morn
ing. It nj ght be urged that their innate
modesty induced their delicacy in giving
their names But the hypothesis Is con-
troterted IA the case Of Hon. Jonathan
G. 4pplegate, delegate from Delphi. 1t
is well known that tins gentleman pc
culiar quality is not that of modesty.-
Mr.. Apologize is not afraid to speak his
mind. His numerous protests during
the past four years-years of great trial
to the Democratic party-attest his cour-
age His lordly mien and consequent
tal style betoken more of self esteem
than of modesty In point of fact Mr..
AS bearing on all occasions has been
so grave and important that he is rather
unnecessarily dignifed than otherwise
so much so that ignorant persons, unable
fto comprehend the great dignity of his
character, have called him ass.
biow-gun, etc Mr.. Apologize quailed
yes. absolutely quailed, = forgot his
name and called it ''Reuben Giles" We
take it that the doings of the delegates
on the night after the Convention are
properly part thereof, and how unfOr-
tunate it would have been that in the .un-
important supplementary proceedings
that the name of the principal perform
er, who during the day had endeared
himself to the party by hurting epithets
and opprobrium upon a sick man, yet
nevertheless a '.tyrant," and for the sake
of HARMONY, withdrew his name as L
candidate for an office of great honor,
when his friends known to constitute the
number of three, were anxious to record
their suffrages in his favor. How unfor
tunate would it have been that this great
leader, Jonathan c. AppleGate, should
have been mistaken for Reuben Giles"
Happily. one of the police knew him,
and insisted on recording him Alright
Mr.. Appleeate expressed his aversion to
notoriety, but was met with the reply
that his friends at home would be watch
ing for his name in this portion of the
dolngs of the convention, and that it
must be correctly entered on the re-
cords.
1t happened that several ladies
who were sat home at the time Of the
raid. were also res strained of their liber
ty, and only released upon giving secu-
rity for their appearance ut the Mayors
Court 1t will lend additional interest
to the matter among Mr. A 8 friends,
and will serve to increase their indigna
ton when we state that the ''ladv'' to
whom Mr.. A. was talking at the time of
the outrage. was the young, gifted and
beautiful Miss Fanny Develin," we'll
known throughout this community
Let his political friends take up the
cue. and get up monster indignation
meeting" We here enter our protest
againsl the treatment of Mr. A. and his
friends whose names we give as they
gave them to the constabuarv We al
so append in another column the names
of the ladies" who are Wiling 10 record
their testimony again the outrage
The unlawful impost that was levied
on them appears opposite their names.
