Going To E.rol.e.
We sec II stated that VIM. II. IIackett, esq,
Of Portsmouth, one Of the live men Of that city
and lawyer Of ability, will sail for Europe in
few weeks with his family. The Portsmouth
Chronicle says, che goes in the interest Of a

Nary Yard Matters.
II has been stated that the Sheriff Of this
County has spoligi,cd to Admiral Lanman for
the act of his deputy, and that he Is willing to
accept the decree Of the Admiral that q civil
process to be served ON the Yard must first be
shown to the Commandantof the Yard. With
out knowing anything Of the truth Of the state
ment, we feel like declaring the report false In
every particular. We don't believe Mr.. Cooling
has done any such thing, but that since the lot
falls upon him to maintain the rights and dig
nifty Of the State Of Maine, he win dot. When
II proves true then Is time enough for the peo-
pie to demand his resignation. That this State

Some four weeks, since, Chas. II. Bartlett, a
Deputy Sheriff Of York County, armed with the
proper papers, arrested one Charles McLaugh-
lin, a laborer employed on TIE Navy Yarl, when
some Of his friends, thinking the Sheriff hal no
right 10 make an arrest ON the sacrcd soil OF
said Yard, reported the same to Admiral Lam
man, who threatened 10 discharge the Watch-
man for permitting Mclaughlin to leave the
Yarl
Mr.. Bartlett called on the Admiral at the re-
quest Of the Waterman, to see II some settle
ment OF the case could not be made. Admiral
Lanm,n informed the Sheriff that hereafter he
could make no moro arrests without showing
his warrant; therefore Mr.. Bartlett informed
Adm. Lsnman he could not comply with said
request, IL being against his sworn duties As an
officer bounl by the LAWS Of the State Of Maine.
Thereupon Admiral Lanmsn issued an order
forbidding any Civil Officer visiting the Navy
Yard ON official business, sreept by his pernis-
sion. Mr. Bartlett proceeled to serve his pre-
cepts, when he was forcbly elected from the
Yard by Lieut. Commander Carpenter and
three watchmen, acting under the onlers Of
Admiral Lsnmsn. Whercupon Sheriff Bartlett
caused the arrest Of said Lieut. Com. Carpenter
and watchmen for obstructing an officer in the
line Of his duty. The case Was triei before
Justice Nealley Of South Berwick Tuesday fore
noon, when the defendants were julgl guilty,
appealed. and bound over for trial at the SUI
prcine Judicial Court to DO holden at Saco on
the FIRST Tuesday Of January next.
