Columbia democrat and star of the north. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1867, 1866-11-07

At onefime it was thought thatsomething
serious would grow out Of the Baltimore
troubles The Radical press throughout the
country were calling uponthe boys In blue"
to be on hand In case they could succeed in
bringing on clash of arms. These disloy-
nj editors, enemies of the President and OPP
posed to all law and order declared that they
would cause the streets of Baltimore to run
with the blood of every man who dared sup
port Gov. Swami in the removal of the old
Police Commissioners.
The old board of Commissioners, after
having fair and impartial hearing before
the proper authorities, have been removed,
and new board appointed. VIM. Thomas
Valiant and James Young constitute the
new board. These men Immediately on their
appointment proceeded to get possession of
their Office, with the records and papers
Soon after presenting document, making
formal demand for the surrender Of all the
Station Houses, Marshal's Office, Fire-alarm
Telegraph and Police force, they found them
selves in the custody of Deputy Sheriff
who arrested them upon bench warrant is
sued by Judge Bond They were arrested
for taking steps in endeavoring in the most
peaceable and proper way to take charge of
the duties that had just been assigned them.
They procured counsel, who on appearing
inquired for the afidavits upon which the ar
rests had been made. They argued that the
arrest was an unwarrantable one-that these
men were the duly commissioned Commits
sioners, and were exercising only their legal
authority.
On the Sd inst. at 8, Is p NJ, Judge Bond
gave decided orders that each of the parties
should enter bail in the sum of $25, 900 to
keep the peace towards the Board of Police
in the City of Baltimore. Sheriff Thomp-
son was also required to give bail in the
same amount. While all this was going on
the City was comparatively quiet, although
there were large crowds of people on the
streets, eagerly and menacingly discussing
the situation Of affairs.
These parties refused to give the required
bail, and have since been committed to pris-
on. At this stage of the proceedings there
were some riotous demonstrations made near
the newspaper Offices over the announcement
of the particulars, but the Police promptly
ended the matter by arresting the leaders,
On the following day the counsel for these
newly appointed Commissioners made appli-
cation to Judge Bartol. of the Court of Ap-
peals, for a writ of ha6eas corpus to bring
before him the parties now held in custody
by the Warden of the City Jail, under the
order of Judge Bond Of the Criminal Court
The writ is made returnable, under the laws
of Maryland on the subject, within three
days. At present writing it is not known
what course the Warden of the Jail viii
take. If the parties are brought before
Judge Bartol, the whole question and the
various points at law involved, will be fully
discussed by the Counsel on both sides The
whole matter no doubt wiz be amicably and
satisfactorily arranged, and the new Commits
sioners VIII enter upon their duties as officers
unmolested and respected.
Thus the wind is completely taken out of
the sails of the Radicals who threatened to
drench the streets of Baltimore with blood
if Governor Swami attempted removal of
the old Board
