that they were officers of justice,
and their cards were given to him.
Presently, Warmoth made an ap-
pearance himself, and Mr.. Ryan
stated to him what their mission
was. He asked for the warrant,
which was handed to him, and he
read it. 1t would he tedious to
go through the whole conversa-
tiOn that occurred. The officers
say that he was pale, tremulous and
excited, and that at first his man
ner was so supercilious that Mr..
Rayan felt constrained to say to
him "Goyernor, we have told
you what we came here for we
have told you that onr instruc-
tions are not to arrest you, but to
ask you to accompany us to the
Office OF Justice Sadler and COM
ply With the law we have treat
ed you politely, and we demand
that you shall treat us as gentle
men," s'Certinly, certainly" War
moth answered, and his demean
Or thenceforth was respectful to
the officers. "But," he asked, tsd6
you suppose ynu can arrest the
Governor" "Certainly," was the
response. eve would arrest the
President of the United Stats, if
we were charged with the execu-
ton of warrant against him."
Warmoth defied them to arrest
him. They would certainly do SO,
they said, if they were not in
structed otherwise by the Justice,
He could be impeached, he said,
but he could not be arrested. Ry-
an observed that the charge
against him was not misconduct
in the performance of his official
duties. The charge was made
against him as a citizen, not as
Governor, for violating the law
by attacking and maltreating a
citizen who was his equal before
the law. Warmoth declared he
would not go before petty JUS
tice of the peace. II will not co."
he added, ssbefore that man,
George Sadler.'' Mr.. Montaldo
told him that if their hands were
not tied by the Justices insruc-
ions he would have to go, and Mr..
Ryan asked if he meant anything
personal to Justice Sadler. .sNo,
what have said has no reference
to him, individually 1 would not
so before any petty Justices
court" There was much more
of the same sort, all amounting to
the same thing, that he would
not submit to an arrest, and
would not appear before the JUS
tice.
The officers having reported to
Justice Sadler, he determined to
consult the District Attorney,
who, he informs us, advised him
to address Il polite note to the
Governor, requesting him to do
that which the law requires-to
appear before him and give secl,-
rity-and if he failed to appear,
then enforce the law against him
as it is enforced against every
citizen under the same circum-
stances. The Justice intended to
address such note last evening.
LEG AL ADVERTISING; IN"IOYAL'
NEWsPAPERs.-T Macon Tele-
graph hits the nail on the head
thusly:
Governor Alcorn, of Mississippi,
has just vetoed o bill designating
one 'Ioyap' paper in each judicial
district to do all the legal atlver-
tising, on the ground that all the
papers in the State are loyal, and
he is not willing to grant subsidies
for the benefit of a few persons.
! In other words, Alcorn is not
willing to allow the Taxpayers Of
Mississippi to be robbed to sup
port in idleness a lot of vagabonds
who have trooped down into that
State to publish incendiary papers
Of all the scoundrelly contrivances
whereby loyal plumbers have es-
sayed to CRAFTY their hatred and
stuff their filthy pockets at on;
and the same time, this of making
people advertise in newspapers
whose politics they despises and
Which constantly assail them will
