Aftermath of Arrest.

Friday evening on the charge of violating

termath in the report coming from Rich
mond that confederate veterans of that city
would lead a movement for the repeal of
the law, so far as it relates to the electric
line between Alexandria aud Washington,
at the next session of the state legislature.

ence Of Miss Lee would render the law so
odious to confederate veterans they would
bring strong influence to bear against it.

bill, states that he will strenuously oppose
