An Exciting -Disgraeeful Pro.
ceedfngs In Baltimore.

There was much more than the usual ex-
element in the streets OF the city yesterday,
growing ont of the pending municipal cleo
ton. In several OF the more public tho
roughfares collections of men more or less
intoxicated gathered at different times,
and some scenes were enacted that could
not fail to give pain to all law-and-order-
loving citizens. The vicinity of the City
Hall, extending to Fayette, Holiday,
North, and even to Baltimore street, SEEM
ed to he particularly favored by these par
ties. About IL A. NJ. party of less than
dozen men started from City Hall Square
and moved toward the Conservative Union
headquarters, on the corner of Baltimore
and North streets, where large national
ensign was suspended across North street,
attached to the lower end of which was
breadth of muslin having on it the words
Headquarters Of the National Union Par
ty of the State of Maryland" Some Of the
party rushed into building on the west side
of North street from which the halyards
were suspended, and amidst huZzas below
they were cut, and the American tlag came
trailing down, amidst cheering and other out
cries. In the mean time the crowd aug
mented, and in scutiiing effort to tear off
the inscription, the flag was torn and wrested
entirely away, Notwithstanding the pre-
sence of several policemen. The flag was
then carried through North and Fayette
streets to Gay, where the inscription was
finally torn OFT. After expostulations from
Marshal Carmichael, who, with Captain J.
Mitchell, had arrived at the scene of dis
order, the party carried the mutilated
flag back, and again hoisted it at the point
from whence it had been taken, minus the
inscription, and then, with a singular turn
in the tide of feeling, hailed it aloit with
cheers, much as they did when it descended
to the ground. The crowd had by this
time become very large, and the noise and
confusion great. An elderly gentleman,
who was passing along the street, was
knocked down and brutally kicked about
the head, some of the police being in the
immediate vicinity. During the balance of
the afternoon there was more or less eX-
citement about the intersection of Balti-
more and North and South streets, but
there was no actual outbreak. Towards
evening, however, the disorderly element
disappeared, and the city was remarkably
quiet at night, and it is to be hoped will
continue so to-day.-Sun, 10th.

FORTRESS MONROE, October 9.-The
steamer SaragosSa, from Charleston for
New Orleans, arrived this afternoon with
the schooner Mary Mckee in tow. She re-
ports that she found her off Hatteras fly
ing signals of distress. The schooner was
from Philadelphia, bound to Mobile, with
q general cargo. She reports that hurri-
cane commenced on the I'd instant, blow
ing with terrific violence, and sweeping
overheard everything on deck. She
carried away her rudder aud jib-boom.
On the 9th instant the hurricane mode
rated. AT I o'clock she signalled the
steamer North Star in latitude 81 degrees
q minutes, longitude Is degrees 20 mi
nutes. She appeared to have suffered
from the gale. Her decks were crowded
with passengers. She bore down on the
Kckee, and coming too near, became I'M
manageable; she run into the schooner,
damaging herself badly. She then stood
off, with her colors Union down, towards
large sailing ship in the distance, and
was last seen about noon.
On the 9th instant signalled the steamer
Haze, from New York for Mobile, which
rendered no assistance. She was taken in
tow by the Saragossa yesterday.

One OF THE USES OF THE FREEDMEN's
BUREAu.-In the criminal court on Mon
day, when Louis Martin, colored, was az
raigned on charge Of larceny, B. F. NJ.
Hurley, Esq, was assigned to defend him,
and in the course Of his remarks to the
Jury he said that his client was unfortunate
in not belonging to the Freedmen's Bu-
reau, else he could be defended at the ex-
pense of the Government. This remark
was called out from the fact that two at
torneys, who are solicitors for the Bureau
Of Refugees, Freedmen, and Abandoned
Lands, are charged with the special duty
Of defending contrsbands charged with
crime, and it is asserted that the Freed
mems Bureau pays the fees. The Govern
ment is thus placed in the anomalous posi-
ton Of prosecuting criminals, and at the
same time of defending them. The dis
trict attorney prosecutes, and receives .
salary from the Treasury Of the United
States, and IL Is well known that negroes
commit three .fourths Of the crimes per-
petrated In the district. In fact, they keep
the machinery Of the courts In .perre tuAl
motion. !, Yet tho Fsssdnsn,s Rusest is II
70 benevolent . composition that 1t takes
Government money; OF rather the peoples
money, to keep these solnfsd citizens out
OF the Albany penitentiary. ~ :

THE CASE OF Mr.. JACOB LOEwENTHAL-
Hrs Return AND SURRENDER TO THE Az
THORITIEs, AND RELEAsE.-The.r readers Of
the IuteNigencer will remember that for
some days statements have been floating
about in the papers, it having originated in
the New Orleans correspondence Of the
New York Herald, to the effect that Mr..
Jacob Loewenthal, a well-known claim
agent doing business in this city, had
swindled the Government ont of funds
amounting to over one million of dollars.
A day or two ago Mr.. Loewenthal tele-
graphed from Charleston, S. c., that he
would be here on Wednesday to answer
to any charge that might be preferred
against him. He arrived here early
yesterday morning, and after consultation
with Thomas Ford and A. G. Riddle, Esqrs.,
and acting upon their advice, proceeded to
the office of the Paymaster- General, and
avowed his readiness to respond to any
charges. General Bricc informed him that
he was not cognizant of any charges. Mr..
Loewenthal, accompanied by his counsel,
thenprOceeded to the criminal courtroom
and proposed to surrender himself if there
were any charges against him. There be-
ing none, he proceeded to police headquar-
tiers and surrendered to Superintendent
Richards, when, after consultation, he was
admitted to bail in the sum of $4,000 to
answer if called for.-NationalI nteHgeneer.

A FIGHTING GENERALS OPINION OF Ben.
JAMIN F. BUTLER.-General James B.
Steedman, says the Cincinnati Union, one
of the fighting generals of the war-a man
whose courage and patriotism no man ever
dared to question-made speech in To-
ledo, his home, on Monday night, in which
he drew this life-likc picture of General
Butler, imported by the Radicals from Mas
sachusetts to stump Ohio. As Butler ad-
dressed the Radicals yesterday at Car.
thage, the sketch which General Steedman
gives Of the man, his courage, and hisprin-
ciples, will be well worth reading. Gene
raj Steedman says:
know that distinguished Massachusetts,
General, Benjamin F. Butler laughter,
says he is going to march from Massachu.
sets to Washington with his militia. Well,
now, he didn't hurt anybody during the
war, and have no idea that he will hurt
anybody now. [Laughter.l 1.-The marches,
and there il any fighting gOingon, lwillwar
column. ! have searched that gentleman's
military record in vain to find a place
where he led column. He never did lead
it anywhere. Perhaps he thinks, as he
didn't make any reputation in the last war,
it is necessary for him to get up another
one, in order to redeem himself. [Laughter.l
No doubt General Butler had good many
fierce people to deal with during the war /;
no doubt he was provoked good deal
during his administration in New Orleans,
and goaded to say great many things
that do not look well on paper. ! do not
like to comment upon anything done by q
Union general, but am bound to say now
that throughout the war that General was
remarkable only for his severity on women
and children. [Cries of "Spoons.'l He
was fierce to deienceless people. That re-
quircd no courage. People who were
within our lines, and whose protectors were
gone-he was very harsh to them. 1t is
true their protectors had no right to go,
and they deserved, perhaps, all they got,
but no brave man would take an advan-
tage of that kind against women and chill
dren and General Butler is the only man
that ever did it.

tanning from him, under false pretences,
the sum of $1,000. Booker was arrested
at the house Of relative, in Campbell,
some six or seven miles from town.
Some time since Booker visited Jeter at
his home in Pennsylvania, with letters of
recommendation from well-known persons
in Amelia and Richmond, and asked the
loan Of 81 500, for the purpose, as he stated,
of purchasing the stock in store in Rich
mond. Mr.. Jeter knowing the parties who
wrote the letters, and willing to give his
relative lift in the world, consented to
loan him the money, but only had 1900
of the amount in hand. This he gave him,
and soon after honored draft of his for
5000 more. Time passed, and whispers
reached the ears Of Mr.. Jeter that things
were not altogether on the square with his
debtor, and he went to Richmond to look
into the matter. There he ascertained
that no such purchase as Booker pretended
he was to make had ever been in negotia.

had been chiselled out Of his money. He
commenced, therefore, to make inquiries
for Booker, and ascertaining that he was
in the neighborhood of this city, came on
here, and had him arrested, as above stated.
The accused will have hearing before
Mayor Branch to-day, and if Mr.. Jeter per-

await requisition from the Governor Of
Pennsylvania, the offence having been
committed in that State.-LychJwg Ne,cs,

was no thought of any such intention. The

and regularly informed upon all that Is
