l
| Dfsbandmem Of the Militia In Washington
Again OrdeRed By tho Presideut-Fsrther
| Particulars Of the Zouave Shooting ARRAY.
The attention Of the President has been attracted
to the fact that the peremptory order given by him
to General Grant last November to disarm and dis
band all the militia organizations In the District OF
Columbia has been wholly disregarded. The neglect
to execute the order brought to his notice by the
lawless outrage committed by the Butler Zeuaves,
negro military company, on last Thursday night
in marching through the streets with loaded muskets
and firing upon a crowd Of citizens because stone
had been thrown at them. The President has notified
the Secretary Of War OF the existence OF the order
and the failure to obey 1t, and has required him
to see that the department commander executes
the order at once. Instructions will be given
tomorrow or Tuesday to General Candy to disband
all militia organizations both white and black In
accordance with the order General CanDy 1t Is to
be hoped, will then be able to see how an order
issued by the President Of the United States concern
ing military matters in the Department Of Washing
ton should be obeyed by the oicer commanding that
department. A gentleman who witnessed the firing
upon unarmed and unonending citizens went to
General Emory, the commander Of the depart
ment but was informed by Emory that having been
relieved by General Candy he had no longer any
authority to interfere. He afterwards in company
with General Emory. called upon General Candy,
and these officials, after grave consultation, de-
cided that they had no jurisdiction in
the matter, and advised the gentleman
TO apply TO the Superintendent OF the Po-
lice. The gentleman, being anxious to find
somebody who felt authorized to preserve the public
peace proceeded to the Office Of the superintendent
Of the Police He was there informed that measures
would forthwith be taken to the arrest OF the
rioters. 1t seems however, that superintendent
Richards was not exactly Of something that he
thought he ought TO know before acting in the mat
ter 1t could not have been as to his duty in arrest
ing all dsturbers OF the public peace, that under
the circumstances, his hesitapcy In obeyng the call
Of justice is somewhat singular to say the least AT
all events he did hesitate, and paid visit
to General Candy to have his doubts re-
moved. This was effected, judging from his
conduct thereafter, for orders were issued for
the rest Of the negroes who did the firing and yes
terday seven Of them were arrested in Georgetown
and held to bail In the sum of 5000 each ap-
pear before Squire Morsel in this city Wednesday
next. Five Of them were released on bail, and two
OF them, being unable to find security, awaiting
their trial In the station house.
