New YoRK. Oct. 21.-The Germans Of this
city ere greatly excited to-day over the arbitrary
and necdlesBly-oppressive arrest by Federal
officers Of prominent German. Greeley poll
tician, h1r. George, Heinrich. The ostensible
crime of A1r. Heinrich was ordering from his
residence, last Saturday, an impudent Grant
Supervisor Of Elections, who, in his capacity Of
q Grant eanvasser, visited the house Of Nr.
Heinrich, and made himself generally
obnoxious. But the real crime for
which he Was arrested was the zeal
he, has shown in the Greeley
cause. He also exercises large influence over
the German voters Of the east side Of the city.
Heinrich Has taken before Commissioner DaVen-
port on Saturday, who refused bail abundantly
offered, saying IN example was needed. = He had
Heinrich locked up over Sunday in Ludlow street
jail. The entire proceeding was conducted like
an act OF imperial deBpotism. At the moment Of
arrest Heinrich suddenly found. himself
surrounded in the 9aa hall 9f ar.n1 bis as}sa own
tires Or gems d. armes. He was hustled into
close carriage and driven rapidly to Commits
sioner Davenport'6 headquarters, in 3 par1or at
the Fifth Avenue Hotel. Davenport pretended
to examine the offers for ball and then per-
was taken from Ludlow street jail this morning
and a11aigned before Commissioner Davenport
at 10 o'clock. Heinrich Was accompanied by his
counsel, Messre. Hirsch and Langbe1m. and q
number of his personal friends. The Office waB
crowded with Germans who reside in his district.
Nfr, Hirsch and the friends Of the accused made
eager inquiries as to when Dir. Davenport would
apnear: but no one could answer. The
general impression vas that he was too buBlIy
Engaged in the Fifth Avenue Hotel, where he
acts as Chief Supervisor Of Elections, to admit
Of his granting IN examination N the case or
attending to it personally. In this emergency,
Str. Hiracl went before Judge -Blatchford. who
was sitting in the United States District Court,
and applied for writ Of habeas corpus The
Judge Was occupied in calling of the admiralty
calendar, and he took tho papers handed
to him by Mrs Hirsch, and laid them down on
the bench saying: II ahall look over. them. +"
The council then returned to Commissioner
Davenport's office, and patiently awaited his
coming. He arrived at huff past II o'clock. and
took his seat. Mr: Davenport VAS deadly pale,
and somewhat neryoue. When tho case vas
called Mr. Hirsch Baid he appeared for Mr.
Heinrich, and in his behalf he was there to de-
mand an examination. !" Ny Client" said coun-
ael, 'shas been dragged from his home:

with the system now in practice. Although it is
unknown what the President may recommend in
his message, there are outcroppings that afford
. clue to the system proposed to be introduced:
The new policy; il rightly apprehen1ed, pro,
with all = the passions and Vices, as
well as the virtues, that are native to hu-

same principle as man in a civilized community,

bearing similar coal Indications, is
found on both sides Of the Rocky
Mountains, to some extent, from
New Mexico to the British Posses
sions, probably extending north to
the Arctic ocean.
The report gives the result of the
Investigations along the line of the
Union Pacific railroad, at Carbon,
Separation, Green River, Bitter
Creek, Bear River City, Evanston,
and Weber River, to Salt Lake. The
organic remains are mostly of fresh
water beds. .'+..
Previous to the exploration of
these coal deposits it was generally
believed that the Ignite deposits of
the tertiary period were limited and
of little value. They have been gen
orally treated with but little consid-
Grafton +; but their percentage of car
bon in these mountains is shown to
be from 60 to 20 per cent, which in
the language of Prof. Hayden "sbows
at a glance the superiority of the
western lignites over those found in
any otherportion ofthe world" He
believes that no true coal will ever
be found west of the Goth degree
hence the value of these discoveries
in a formation hitherto considered
comparatively barren.
The formation westward from the
Wasatch range to the Sierra Nevada
is very similar, with some local ex-
ceptions. There is no doubt but
that the State of Nevada once con-
stituted a portion of that series of
basins alluded to, and that like de-
posts we're embedded in the ever
lasting rocks. and will be brought to
light here. The coal miner of Ne
vada is no myth.
