POLICEMEN ACCUSED BY AN ALLEGED
R1oTER.--In the Fourth District Recorders
Court Yesterday, Officers Scriven and Fisher
were arraigned, and the following testimo-
ny taken:
A. E. Laudun-At the corner of Con-
stance and Jackson streets was halted by
the two accused with revolVers in their
hands. j asked Scriven to put his pistol
away. He replied, "Never mind; this is
good for the lives of ten white men, They
pointed their pistols at me when they
arrested me. / had rifle in my hand and
a revolver exposed to the view of every
body. l was locked up as dangerous
and suspicious character, and melting a
riot. / was passing along quietly, going
home.
DR.. Brown Tcorroborated generally the
statements of previous witness.
Officer Malone testified that he had met
the prosecuting witness; conversed with
him: saw his car bine and revolver in full
view, and as an officer he saw no cause for
his arrest. He was at the station when the
prosecuting witness was brought IN by
Officers Scriven and Fischer.
Z Mr.. Hutchinson saw the two prisoners
going down jackson street in great hurry.
They pushed their revolVers more in front.
One Of them exclaimed on seeing the prose-
cutor: "That's the DID rascal One of
them cried ssHaltr and at the same time
both OF them drew their revolvers, pre-
sented them at the prosecutor across the
(Jacksonl street, and kept them
pointed at him until they ar
rested him. The young man stopped at
the word "halt." The young man was not
in liquor nor making any noise. He came
from the other side with number of police
officers.
Joe, an Italian. corroborated the testi-
mony of the previous witnesses.
The keeper OF the lookup testified that
young Laudun had been imprisoned at the
instance of the prisoners.
The case was sent down to the First Dis
trict Court on both charges. Bond five
hundred dollars each.

The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1868-06-03

:, PREs1DENT1ALEL EcToRs.-The New York
Tribune hopes to get rid of electors for Pre-
sident and Vice-President. This is very
consistent in the Tribune. Unless the Go
vernment, indeed, be brought back to the
constitutional limits, it is very proper that
every feature of the confederation of States
and of States rights should be blotted out,
and the national system become in all re-
spects consolidation, with the whole po-
litical power concentrated at Washington.
All idea of voting by States should be dis
carded, and the States should be submerged.
Especially should representation in the
United States Senate be based on popola-
ton. We would freely give up the electors,
and let the vote for President be cast by
the people, if we could only see senatorial
representatives apportioned according to
population. That aoouldbe popular IN Neao
E7l1l1nd

officers and thsir attendants u -aaavs, o.

These appeals were unavailing. The Go
vernment considered Bokhafatoo inaccessi.
BILE for military expedition, md possibly
feared the danger Of q collision with Rus
sin. Therefore the unfortunate English
men were left unavenged, as warning to
others not to place themselves in peril in
.eut-of-the.way, semi-barbarous countries,
or they would be abandoned in like man
ner-very inconsistent with the subsequent
conduct towards Abyssinin. ~ g
Nevertheless, a. number Of philanthropic
persons in London, including DR.. WooLF-
we believe Jewish Rabbi--and Sir MOSES
MoNrfFroRR, continued to make efforts to
,ascertain something Of the officers and OF
last an expedition to Bokhara was under
taken by DR.. WooLF and accomplished.
He ascertained that the Englishmen had
been murdered under circumstances, as he
believed, inculpating the Khan himself as
authorizing or conniying at the crime. He
reported all the facts he could learn. He
discovered the Khan to be very artful and
deceitful, and equally as cruel as he was
cunning. His report ended the matter, and
the Government took no further notice
of it. iti ns US .E,if,s.s '
This is an interesting fact, now that
Bokhara has been conquered by Russia,
and possibly this same Khan killed. Had
England undertaken to revenge her citi-
zens-an act equally as incumbent upon
her as the rescue Of the imprisoned Eng
lishmen in Abyssinia-there might now be
very different condition Of affairs relating
to her Indian possessions. Tie advance of
Russia to this point gives new phase to
European as well as Asiatic politics, which
may lead to important results. -
