THE EXCITEMENT
in political circles continues. After the
house adjourned yesterday, the Warmoth-
ties asserted that Speaker Carter was sur
rounded by an armed mob. The men.
about fifteen who suddenly appeared yes

speakers desk, certainly checked the con.

OF such parties, two hundred Metropolitan

hundred colored troops, with
TWO GATLISG GUNS
marched up from the barracks and were
stationed in the custom house. The fac

much discussion arose over the proposed
contest many stated openly that several
more members had been bought for the

ceived $4,000, but not being cognizant Of
the facts We give the statement for what it
Is worth. The speaker Of the House spent

number of opposition members, most of
them colored, quickly followed, and with
great difficulty forced their way through
the overcrowded lobby into the hall Of
Representatives. The gossip still contin-
ued, when, at abouts q quarter to IL o'clock,
general attention was attracted to two
carriages which drove up to the State
house. The inmates of the vehicles at

THE ARRESTS.
Warrants were presented for the arrest
of Gov. Warmoth, Mr.. Devices, General

authorized to take bonds for their appear

not, but thought there would be no trouble
in procuring their release on proper secur-

The Governor was then handed warrant
Tor his own arrest, and was informed BY
the marshal that 1t was not proposed to

not intend to force his attendance

who was also arrested, went with General
Campbell and Captain Flanagan, in a cab.

The arrests were made in the quietest
manner, and few in the crowd were aware
of what had been done until some min

Subsequently, at IL o'clock, the house be-

attempt was made to break the quorum

At this time the utmost excitement pre.
vailed both inside and outside the cham
