ONE OF CoHEN's MEN ON HABsAs CORPUS.
To-day. Judge Humphreys had before him
John I'll. Graham on writ OF habeas corpus
Mr.; Blankman for the petitioner, and MIR. H.
III. Wells, ir., for the government. The petl-
TONER sets forth that he has been for seven
months citizen of the District of Column bia :;
that on the 18th of July he visited police head
quarters to see prisoner; that while there he
was arrested, and on the next day he was
tried in the Police Court for an affray, and
sentenced TO 80 days in jail, and he claims that
his arrest, trial, conviction, and commitment
were all illegal. and in violation of the consti-
tuition of the United States, and he therefore
asks TO be discharged.
The case was argued at considerable length
and Judge Humphreys decided that the pro-
ceedings had been before a court of cOmpe
tent jurisdiction and the commitment valid ::
and that the Police Court was a court of
record, and therefore they could not go be-
hind the record: but he postponed the final
decision until tomorrow

c@iyee severe cut over the eye, probably
from faii ana took him to ChriStiani'S drug
store, where his wounds were dressed. IT was
ascertained that his name was Horace King,
awelltO-d0 planter OF Georgia, who has been
during the war colonel in the confederate
service, and served on Gen. Lees staff, and. it
VIII be remembered, he was for some time
cOnhned as prisoner AT Fort McHenry Bal
timOre- He has number of friends in this
city, who sincerely regret that he has Welded
TO the temptation of strong drink. Some are
inclined to the opinion that this was q deibar-
ate attempt at suicide on the part of Colonel
King, but his condition for some days past
would preclude the idea, as he has been too
drunk 10 do any such thing, and it is probable
that be stumbled and fell on the track.
