COvyardly Arrest by a Deputy
a. =. Marshal.

Deputy U. s. Marshal Slater came
down from Louisville last Thursday, and
at the dead hour of night, accompanied
by a considerable squad of soldiers, and
with n flourish of power and authority
entirely uncalled for, arrested Mr.. Brit.
Glenn, "A resident of this county, on a
charge of being implicated in the shoot
ing of the negro Frank Davis, a few
weeks since.
Under the circumstances, " consider
the arrest, effected in the Aanner in
which it was, an outrage upon the accus
aud direct insult to the community
Had Mr.. Glenn borne the reputation or
Il desperate, or had he ever manifested
any desire to evade the officers or the law,
or had there even been reasoTpble pro-
bability of his guilt, there mKht have
been some excuse for this stealthy mid
night display of military power, and the
carrying off of the prisoner. But none
cf these conditions existed.
A day or two after the negro was shot
and wounded-as soon as Mr.. Glenn
learned he was accused or suspected of
being implicated in the shooting, he vol
UNFAIRLY sought an investigation, that he
might prove his Innocence. United
States Commissioner Weeks requested
that the investigation be had before
Mayor Vance (instead of himsef) as he
was satisfied he would do full justice in
behalf Of the wounded negro as well as
for all other parties concerned All OBJ
jcctions to negro evidence were waived,
and their testimony taken without re-
striction All citizens who heard the
testimony, including the u. S. Commits
sioner, expressed themselves as satisfied
that Mr. Glenn was innocent. Moreover,
Mr.. Brit. Glenn has been brought up in
this country from his childhood his
father is, and has been for many years, n
consistent member of an orthodox church
anh always a consistent Union man and
if we mistake not, the son belongs to the
same church as the father The whole
family have ever been regarded as among
the most worthy, peaeeable, and law
abiding citizens of the county, and we
doubt not Brit. Glenn could have given
bond for his appearance at court to the
amount of. half the value of the prop
crty in the county y.-ColUm54s Dispatch.

Grant ON Negro Suffrage.

The latest authority on Grants opin-
ious relative to negro suffrage is thus
stated by Judge Pierrepont in a recent
speech delivered by him in New York
city
One day at General Grants house in
Washington, while he was Secretary Of
War, l told him l thought he would
make a good Democratic candidate if he
was right on the question of negro suf-
frase. He replied that he had no wish
for the Presidency, that his feelings and
sentiments were entirely opposed to negro
suffrage but that he did not wish to be
restrained by any pledges from the right
to change his opinions in future, if new
exigencies convinced him that he was
wrong for, said he, you will remember
that early in the war, when | was in com
mand at the West, | publicly stated that
if the negroes had an Instruction l
would hold my army in check until it
was put down But long before the war

moved my army all the faster. What j
want is the Union--the whole country
returned to peace and submission to the
laws. ! do not like the universal suf-
frage now. but the freemen ought to be
protected, and if the only way TO protect
them in their helpless condition is to
give them the suffrage, then | shall be in
favor of letting them vote. | want the
Union restored, and to have the South
come back-obey the laws, and submit as
good citizens, and if the future proves
that they will not do it without negro
suffrage, then l would give them negro
suffrape.

THE NEW CABINET-A correspond
.cnt of the Baltimore Gazette states that
4" while Gen Schofeld was canvassing
the Senate to ascertain if he would be
confirmed if nominated as Secretary of
War, Radical Senator called upon Gen.
Grant for his advice The General
frankly stated that he was utterly oppos-
ed to placing military officers in civil
positions while retaining their commits
sions but, under the peculiar circum-
stances, he thought the rule might be
departed from. This fact was very
recently stated as proof that the epaul-
cited gentry are to be excluded at least
from the Cabinet, and cffectually dispose
of Schofeld and Porter. Gen. Grant,
although having no power to decide who
shall compose his ministry, must neces-
sarily have something to say as to who
or what class shall be excepted.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE IN ENGLAND
The movement in favor of women voting
is advancing in England much more de-
cisively than in the United States. No
less a man than Mr.. Gladstone has given
it his appreciation so far that he thinks
that widows and spinsters who own prop
erty ought to have the right to vote upon
it on the same conditions as men; but
then this opinion of the future English
premier was given just before election
time, and it is just possible that he may
find it convenient to forget or to ignore
it by the time he gets in power

THE SPANISH FINANCES, The pro-
visional government of Spain has pub
lished budget which shows the posi-
ton Of the treasury more exactly than il
has been exposed, under the monarchy,
for many years. The ordinary revcnue
is abeut $50 00O. 900 the ordinary cx-
penditure $10G, 900, 900; leaving an an
nual deficit orsome Sl7,000.000. The
debt is more than 81 ,000, 600, 900; or
much more, in proportion to the resources
of the country, than that of the United
States.
On the other hand, the estates Of the
crown and of the church, which will be
available for public purposes, will meet
all the extraordinary demands for the
present, and it is thought that an honest
administration of the treasury. with some
improvements in taxation, will bring up
the revenues to S120,000,00 at least.
The Spanish bonds advanced little in
Madrid on the publication Of this report.
