It seems that the Sheriff OF Cherokee
county, ON Thursday last, was aboard
Conductor Gays train in search OF .
criminal, and that some trouble oc.
Cured between hlm and the Conduc-
tor,to whom he was personally known
in regard to fare. As the officer
could not or would not pay, no was
put of; and, it is alleged that the
criminal was aboard the train and
thereby escaped arrest. Yesterday
the Sheriff attempted the arrest ct
the Conductor, on warrant charg-
ing him with interference with Nh
officer in the proper discharge OF his
duty. and ran the train off on side
track for the purpose of accomplish
ing his purpose. The attaches OF the
tram, however, prevented the officer
from serving his warrant, and soon
sent the train blowing on its way TO

French Directory. 1t will be recol.
lectel that when Napoleon plunged
France into the war which has
thus far been only series Of disaster
and calamity to the nation, Theirs, IN
the Corps Legislatt, solemnly and
earnestly protested. He asked re.
Election. And this was all he did ask.
The Emperor, according to the logic
of Theirs speech, was mad. and he
asked that the legislative assembly
of France should not also become in

And now he so earnestly and bold

upon to take prominent position in
conducting the affairs OF the nation.
Such result could only be upon no.

event, he would be in disgrace. In
stead he is part Of the supreme d.

Theirs, that while he opposed the
war on its inception, he is an intense
hatcr OF Germany. 1.-THE madness OF

We must regard it as particularly
