A CoRREcTIoH.-In our Suadsy's issue appeared
paragraph headed "A Lively Episode in a ourt
ROom,n the facts of which we obtained from
bystan6er, and which 1--WE have since learned We
0 stated as 10 unintentionslly place in very
ase light, the conduct of the principal ac'or in
the sceLe. The following is a orief statement OF
the facts of the case: Mr.. ohm Hogan, few
Gays ago was in an altcroatiOn cut by q negro.
For this assault be instituted charges against him
and it was as prosecutor in the case that he made
his appearance on Saturday IN Recorder Becker
Court At the conclusion of the trial. the re-
cOrder stating that Mr.. Hogan had failed t. prove
his charges, be would therefore commit him TO
prison on charge of false Imprisonment Of the
negro. AS the colored man had made no charge,
this a little too much, and Mr.. Hogan, by the
only means in his power resisted the illegal and
arbitrary arrest. But as We stated the cap
snapped and the pistol was taken away. We
make this correction very cheerfully.
