oTERs HELD FoH COURT

oTERs HELD FoH COURT
William Miles, colored, was arralened
before the Mayor, this morning, on the
charge OF attempting to incite to riot, on
Sunday morning, Oct. 18th, the MORN
ing alter the Democratic parade.
Of1cer McIlhenny testified that on
said morning, about 8 o'clock, he was
passing up Walnut street, on his way
home from his fathers, and when near
his residence, a few doc % above Eighth.
he noticed great commotion in front
of National Hall. After putting on his
coat he proceeded to the scene, and met
officer Richards. They stood talking
for few moments on Ninth street, when
officer Richards started for he CITY Hall
TO obtain aid. As he did so the prisoner
remarked, "get your police force and
your Mayor, and we will clean them
out" He noticed the prisoner in a
crowd that had been striking a white
man. He seemed TO be very much ex-
cited and urged the rest of the colored
men around there to stand their GROUND.
q. Is. Foster testified that he was at
the hall, looking around to see what
damage had been done. While stand
ing Oh the steps he noticed number OF
police coming up the street, aud heard
the prisoner, who seemed to be- very
much excited, urge the crowd to stand
firm.
Sergeant Jones testified that he
went to the Hall with a detail of DO
lice, and heard the prisoner tell those
around him to do their duty. In a
few minutes he noticed the prisoner
start to go across the street in the di-
rection of Sergeant Whelan, who WAS
arrestinga a man. As he did 80, he
drew revolver from his pocket. The
officer then caught him by the coat
collar and the left hand and prevented
him from going any further. AS the
officer caught him the prisoner slipped
his hand into his pocket, but when he
was searched, no revolver could be
found. He then let go of him.
Sergeant Whelan, testified that
while he was arresting a man, some
one demanded in an angry tone what
he was doing. Looking up, he saw the
prisoner standing in front of him. He
seemed to be very much excited.
: Officers Cloud, Mccormick and
Brickle, also testified to tho prisoner
being excited.
Robt Smith, 8. Hood, Andrew Nor
rlB, Wm. CralK and James Prltchett,
all colored, testified that they were
present at the time mentioned by the
witnesses for the prosecution. They
saw the prisoner, but he seemed in no
way excited. They did not hear him
urge the crowd to stand their ground.
His character for peace and good or
der was good. They did not see him
have any firearms whatever. They
had never known him TO carry any.
Austin Harrington, Esq, appeared
for the defendant, and asked that the
prisoner be discharged on the ground
that the testimony was of a collecting
nature.
His Honor said that the testimony
being conflicting he did not deem it
his duty to discharge the prisoner. -
He thought it a case for the Grand
Jury, and he would therefore hold him
in the sum of $500 10 answer at Court
Bail was furnished by James Crozier,
colored.
The same prisoner was then arraig-
ned on the charge of threatening to
shoot Sergeant Whelan, but the evil
dence was insufficient to prove the
charge it was dismissed.

Saturdays Dover Sentinel accuses
the NetDs of this city, with having again
"hoisted the hateful flag Of discord," and
gives fair notice that the old Dover ring
is not to be disregarded in the Republi-
can politics of this State. 1t says: "The
late Presidential contest clearly de-
monstrates that In many of Northern
States we have no strength that needs
abatement. Let us leave the blacken-
ing OF the characters Of our great and
good aud strong men 10 be done by
men who are not tit TO biacken their
boots, and don't lot us play the part of
the sorry bird that befouls its own nest.
If you propose TO eliminate Grant and
bis friends flom the Republican party,
or to attempt with your puny arms to
hold them aloof from tue councils Of
Garfield's administration, you will find
yourselves trying to perform The play of
Haml with the prince left Of the role;
if you do 10, also find that siants are
not handled easily by pignies. "Let
