A CoLoRED SArRAp-The Washington

evening, as Mr.. Butler was on his way to
church, when near Freedman Village, he met
the Rev. Robert s. Laws, the preacher and
politician of Arliugol, 10 the act of striking
his wife, whom he had down upon the ground
and her clothes badly torn Butler Inquired
what it meant, when Laws said that she Insist
ed upon going to church after he told her she
should not, hence the quarrel, she stating that
he had been beating her. Word was sent to
the village to that effect, when several persons
went in hot pursuit of Laws, but he had left
before they arrived. He claims to act as agent
for Lieut. r. ?. Strong, U. 5. army, COM
mauding Fort Whipple, in the management of
the affairs at Freedwan's Village, aud if any
of the colorcd people attempt TO express their
opinion as to his conduct he threatens to have
them removed from the village. Several serl-
Gus charges arc now pending against him iu
the courts of Alexandria, among others those
of illegal voting and bigamy."
