Payne, Isaac NJ. Smith, and Alexander
Lawson, of Charlotte county, were brought
here to-day by Deputy United States Mar
shall Harvey and taken before United States
Commissioner w. b. Tinsley for examina-
ton. The hearing was held in the United
States Courtroom and DistTict-AttOrney
". T.. Craig of StauntOn, was present IN be-
half Of the prosecution, and Senator John
W. Daniel. n. c. Manson, Jr., A. II. Bur
roughs. and j. c. Edmunds appeared for
the accused.
The warrant upon which the arrests
were made was sworn ont by one Rosser
Tucker, an alleged United States supervisor
of election, and was in effect as follows:
"That A. II. Pavne. Isaac Nj. Smith, and
Alexander lawson, Judges OF election az
Asuinwall precinct. Charlotte county. al the
1855 election had violated section 1922 of the
Revised Statutes Of the United States. III
that they had hindered and INSTRUCTED
United States officers in the discharge OF
their duties by refusing to allow them TO
act as supervisors Of election"
Senator Daniel moved to Quash the war
rant upon the ground that II was vague
and indefinite in that it failed to specify
the names of the officers against whom the
offence was charged. was committed, or to
state whether it was a marshal or a deputy
marshal, or even 10 designate whether the
election had was Federal or State cleo
ton. He said IL the case in point the gem
tlemen had to be dragged from home and
brought here to stand trial on vague war
rant, and that, too, when there was a
United States commissioner at their very
door.
In reply to Mr.. Daniel Mr.. Craig adj
mitted that the warrant was not drawn up
with the degree of accuracy required
under rules of pleading at regular
trial, but considered that it answered the
purpose Of this examination. He said the
cases were brought TO this city as matter
of convenience. and he characterized as
unjust the imputation OF the counsel that
the prosecution was actuated IN any de-
gree by political motives.
The case was finally adjourned over till
Monday morning ut 10 o'clock. The gem
tlemen under arrest do not hesitate TO de-
nounce it political trick and malicious
prosecution, and counsel for the accused
were outspoken in their denunciation.

with assauting another negro witha brick,
