Correspondence of the Alexandria Gazette1
HANOVER, Junell. Thrown fronlmy sulky
yesterday morning, and thereby fracturng the
smaller bone of my left leg, was. in anil
humor to enjoy the entertainment served Tor
our people at Beaver Dam: by Mr.. Porter and
Lewis Lindsey. Nor am | better prepared,
after days and nights agony, to paint the
rich scenes of yesterday to your readers.
Mr.. Porter, the Radical candidate for Con
cress from this district, has quite comely per
son, good head. and, on first sight, respectable
appearance. Lie is fluent speaker, easy, and
quite graceful in manner, ingenious in the So
luton and statement of premises, deliberate,
plausible, and sometimes quite oratorlcal. But
his speech was full of sophistry and mlsstate-
ments, and was thoroughly exposed by Colonel
Vim, Conservative Having triumphantly
asserted that Col. Withers could not hold office
under the proposed constitution if elected, Col
Winn produced the report and decision or a
military commission, in Norfolk, IN 1854, to
show that Porter himself could not take The
iron. clad oath without committing perjury,
The effect was overwhelming Porter was pale
and nervous-the whites aughed-the negroes
seemed bewildered, and Lewis Lindsey alone
appeared calm.
Lewis is low, well set, coffee coIored, ego
tistical, selfconceted, Ge!f-possessed, shrcWd,
keen, black-eyed man. Totally regardless OF
consequences, bold and defiant, fluent as swol-
len river, sarcastic, and, to an educated man,
intensely amusing. Despite such words as
| ''Babalon'' for Babel" helium" for helm
''mimikin' =" RepubIinxn 81 ucldate an ar,
gomiut of the genternan despite, | say, all
these, and hundreds of phrases perfectly unique
and mex plicab!e, Lewis Lindsey is possessed OF
great power for evil. No other speaker made
half the impression he did on the negroes. lie
is dangerous unexpectedly INSCRIPTIONS,
and as prolific Of facts Of his own coming as
his objects may render necessary. lie disposed
of the whole record of Beast Butler and bis
commission against Porter, by ,proclaimlqs it
to be false from beginning to cnd-as Mr. Por-
ter's present course clearly proves, &c:

COMMUNICATED.

Mr.. EDITORIAL article appeared in your
local columns, on Wednesday, which should
arouse TO thought and action the people Of this
city and county 'The pcttq Miieymg," and
thicving q of q larger growth" has become
aarmingly prevalent. The cause of all this is
apparent. Any one that reads your police re-
ports can very readily, at moments glance,
see the cause Of this. For instance, land al
most daily you will see where parties, col
orcd and white, but largely Of the former,
are Brought before the 'Justice, charged
with stealing money clothing &c. What
then I? They are fnal and discharged, which
fning is contrary to statute law, and gross
violation Of the chartered rights Of the people.
The "Justice" that fnes in such cases must
know he has no legal right to do SO. His
course is plain-hc must either discharge the
parties, hold them to bail, or commit them.
Then again, how often do you see where
cases are compromised y What is this but
sheer compromising OF felony" and which
the Attorney for the Commonwealth should
bring at once to the attention OF the Grand
Jury, and punish the y ustlce, and all CON
ccrned, for meeting out such Justice to crlml-
nails 1t is melancholy fact, that, to say the
least Of it, and to be as gentle as possible,
"thcre's screw loose somewhere, " and 1t
must be frightened. Do this, and we will have
better state OF things existing here. | am
glad you have called the peoples attention tc
this subject do hope the matter will not be
allowed to drop, Let us see, also. if this pro
tessional StyaW bull system cannot be broken

WASHINGTON City MUNICIPAL DIFFICULTY
The Conservative members of the City
Council joined by one Of the Radical Alder
men of the First ward (Mr. Larman,) compos
ing quorum Of each Board, proceeded to the
City Hall yesterday afternoon for the purpose
of holding joint meeting. The object was
the election Of Mayor to serve ad interim un-
til the question should be settled whether any
one has or has not been elected Mayor at the
late election. These gentlemen, on entering
the Hall, found that the doors OF their cham
bers had been locked and the keys taken from
the building They had provided themselves
with a locksmith in anticipation of some &C
ton of that kind, but the policemen interfered
to prevent them from effecting an entrance to
the chambers The Councilmen repaired to a
basement room in the Hall, where they organ.
lied in joint meeting. A preamble was offer
ed that "Whereas, by the action of Sales j.
Bowen; who assumes to be Mayor Of this city,
and A. 9. Richards, superintendent of Police,
the members Of the Boards of Aldermen and
Common Council have been excluded from
their regular places of meeting, &C.
Concluding with a resolution that a commit
tee be appointed to employ eminent legal coun-
sci, with instructions to prosecute and bring to
Justice the said Bowen and Richards and their
aiders and abettors in the unWarrantable pro-
ceedings of keeping the doors locked against
the representatives Of the people, &c:
This proposition was adopted. The meet
ing then elected ex-Alderman Thomas E.
Lloyd Mayor of Washington ad interim. That
gentleman was soon thereafter sworn in. He
caused much laughter when he said he felt
very much in the condition OF Secretary Of
War ad interim, General Thomas, but one Of
the members called out to him to Stick. -
There was much excitement in and about the
City Hall during these proceedings, but it was
quoted by the adjournment of the Council
meeting.
1t is understood that the Conservatives will
Immediately take measures to bring the ques-
ton at issue before the court by means of a
mandamus, in order that he conflict may be
settled.
