Seauea TO the PoIitfcO-POlice Troubles
Jud ges of the Late ElectiOn-CIaims of
Loyal Slave-Owners Against the Gov
ernment-Legislativc Etc.
[ VENING TELEGRAPH SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE ]
-BALTIMoRE, November 25.-It is asserted, upon
what may be deemed reliable authority. thai
Messrs. Young and Valiant, the new Police
Commissioners, and Sheriff Thompson, design
bringing suit against Judge Bond, OF the city
Criminal Court, and the old Police Board, tor
damages and false imprisonment. This case,
when IT comes up tor trial, will excite more
than ordinary interest. \ variety of nice points
OF law are involved, as well with regard to the
powers of the police as TO those OF the Judiciary.
Whatever may be the political opinions of
Judge Bond, enthusiastic as he Is in working,
heart and soul, tor what he conscentiously
thinks right, no one doubts his honesty of pur-
pose. II he errs, it is from the head not the
heart. Socially, he is q gentleman in every
sense of the word. That he mas been, and is, an
uncompromising Union man, there Is abundant
evidences. This is fault only in the eyes of
those whose loyalty is doubtful-a thing which
the Judge has sufficient independence to dis
regard. One thing is certain, those who have
been the true friends of our country-those who
battered against treason, and finally subdued it,,
would rather trust him to-day than they would
his enemies.
The judges of the recent 9th of November cleo
ton are likely to get into trouble. Some OF
them have already been prosecuted for damages,
because they refused the votes of certain parties
whom they considered dlsleyal. One suit of
this Kind is now pending, and upon its final de-
cision may depend many others. If judges OF
the election are TO be held responsible and
mulcted with heavy damages for an independent
expression OF opinion, and conscientious render
ing OF official Judgment then, indeed is theiI
position onorous and Improbable. The case o.

$500 for each slave. II is believed, however,
that in consequence of the late political status
assumed by ouf State and Delaware, Congress
may feel less inclneO to favor them and thete-
fore repeal the law, leaving it to these Common
weaths, as well as Kentucky, Missouri, and
West virginia, TO provide for the payment OF
siave-owners out of their own State treasures.
There was meeting of the city delegates
elect 20 the Legislature on Saturday night last,
at Governor Swann's residence, in this CITY. 1t
was entirely private; called for consultation,
chiefly, In reference 10 calling an extra session
of the Legislature, and to consult about some
Other matters. The Governor made quite a long
speech, in which he announced, positively, his
opposition TO the extra session. He believed
there was no necessity for it-that il time was
too short at the regular session, he had power
to extend Ii.
He further asserted there was really no inten-
ton of iimpeaching President johnson; that il
was all talk, gotten up BY gold gamblers, specu-
latOrs in stocks, and ambitious politicians.
There is, however, determination to revOlu-
tionize the sO-oaled radical status of Baltimore,
so as to turn out Mayor Chapman, and secure a
new election. The conservatives do not want
to have this city against them. They are de.
sirous, also, of reOreanizing the Courts, and of
turning out judge Bond, as well as all the other
Unconditional Union judges, clerks, and other
judiciary officials.
The course of lectures now going on at the
Peabody Institute are attracting much atten-
tiOT, and promise to be very instructive.
There is perfect tttrOr of excitement in refer
ence TO the advent OF Ristor. Every seat IN
Holiday Street Theatre has already been taken
tor her entire engagement. Unless she plays a
second engagement, ,one-half oil those anxious to
see her Will not have an opportunity.
The weather is quite cold. We now have
occasional slight sprinkles OF snow.
Business very dull, and somewhat of panic
in all branches of trade. Bono
