OUR POLICE.
The Work Perrormed bv them Yeaterdny.
The police force of this city It was thought had
rendered Itself suniclently infamous on the occasion
of the late election In this city. Hut yesterday they
Interfered In an election over which they certainly
had no control, and as a result nearly twenty
( these nnworthy representatives are now on
lined in the Camden jail, with the proof of their
identity upon their persms. An additional result Is
that a number of luoifcnslve colored residents of
this city who hud gone over to Jersey were arrested
on their return lust evening and cruelly maltreated,
Borne of them on the way to tne station ami some 01
them while In the Second District .Station.
Towards evening the river front was lined with
policemen, who made themselves extremely omolons
in catechising the colored people, but who never
once asked a quest Ion of their fellows who hid linen
passing the iav at the Camden polls Intimidating
the new voters, The numerous acts perpetrated
will never be known, as no information can be ob
tained except from the more courageous of the in
jured in n who dared venture within the precincts
of a newspaper oillce.
Mr. William Arinstend, a colored school teaoher
at Ccntreville, and a resident of this city, crossed to
thlH side of the river about 4 o'clock yesterday after
noon, ami on landing at South street wharf he wa3
roughly seized by two policemen and searched with
out any reason being assigned for such conduct.
Falling to lind a weapon of some kind they were dis
posed to le.ive him go, but. on second thought they
renewed the search, ami drew from oue of his
pockets a penknife, which they appropriated to their
own use. Armstead was then taken to the Second
District Station-house. While giving his name to
the officer lii charge an individual quleily stepned
up behind liim and dealt hi in a blow on the stdo of
the head with some blunt instrument and felled him
to the floor.
This act was done In the presence of the nollee
men, who were about to prefer a charge a.jalnst the
prisoner of carrying concealed deadly weapons. Mr.
Armstead received a severe wound, from which the
blood flowed freely. No, effort was made to arrest
the perpetrator of the act. A sympathizer, no
ttonbt a party to the crime, represented at the time
that Armstead did not look like a bad character, aud
promised to aid him in obtaining his freedom. The
prisoner was then taken before Alderman Devitt,
who held him In f 000 bail for a further hearing. B:ill
was soon alter entered and Mr. Armstead was re
leased. The victim of this outrage is well knewn In
this city as a respectable citizen. He states , that he
had ad ioiirned his school only a short time previous t
leaving Camden for this city. The policeman who
preferred the charge iu this case gave the name of
Moore.
Armstead this morning appeared before Recorder
Givin and took out a warrant lor Policeman Moore,
whose number is 74, charging him with an illegal
arrest and with committing an unjustifiable assault
and battery. The document was tnen served upon
the Chief of Police, who directed the appearance ef
Moore before the Recorder at 3 o'clock tula after
noon. Allen B. Adams, a colored man, a barber by pro
fession, was arrested at South street wharf yester
day, upon the arrival of the ferryboat from Kaighn's
Point. It seems that when the boat came to at the
slip some one In a crowd singled Mr. Adams out,
and said : "Arrest that man ; lie Is one of the party
implicated in killing an alderman at Kaighn's Point.''
Adams was at once taken Into custody by a
police oillecr and conducted to the
Southwark Hall, where ho was detained.
He protested his innocence. Shortly
before nix o'clock he was taken to the office f Al
derman Devitt for a hearing, but this alderman was
not present. Alter detaining the prisoner there for
half an hour, he was taken back to the Southwark
Hall. In the meantime the cases had been heard
here by Police Magistrate I.utz, and he had de
parted. The prisoner was about to b locked up,
whereupon a gentleman who knew him damanded
that he should have a hearing. He was then taken
before Alderman Lutz at his ofllce on Jloyamenslng
avenue. There was no one to prefer a charge
against him, and he was at once discharged. Mr.
Adams is a sickly man.
Later in the evening more colored men were ar
rested at this ferry, and of these we find the follow
ing names on the report of Lieutenant Errlckson,
with the charges preferred against them: Alexan
der Hopkins, deadly weapons; Norman Simmons,
breach of peace; Calvin McKee, breach of peace;
Ileury Washington, breach of paaee; Keuben Tay
lor, deadly weapons. Notwithstanding that Alder
man Lutz Is the regular committing magistrate at
this station, these rases were all disposed of by
Alderman Frank Devitt, who Is of the same politi
cal ilk as the policemen.

At half past ten o'clock this morning a hearing
was given some of the Camden rioters before Mayor
Cox in the County Court house. The fact that a
number of Philadelphia policemen were incarce.
rated in the Camden jail added interest to the hear
ings, ana or course a large number of spectators,
principally Phiiadclphians, were In attendance at
the court room.
The first case disposed of was that of Frank
Bonder, constable, charged with assault and battery
with intent to Kill entries h. miiiams and jonn
Madden, both colored, at the polls In Newton Town-
unip yesterday, aiso witn inciting to not. ueienu.
ant is constable of that towmhshlp. He waived a
hearing and entered ball In the sutu'of 81000 for trial.
The cases of the Philadelphia policemen were next
on tiie nut, one tuc prosecutors not oeing in attend.
ance the Mayor announced that the hearings would
be postponed until 2 o'clock this afternoon. Counsel
representing the State of New Jersey and the de-
ienaanti tnen neia a consultation, aurinr wnicn
Lieutenant Thomas, of the Reserve force, of this
city, made his appearance and presented a tetter
of introduction to District attorney Jenkins. His
object was to ascertain the names of the Philadel
phia policemen, and look after their interests as far
as possible.
The District Attorney answered that as yet he
had not been made acquainted with tho names of
the policemen or the charges preferred against
them. In the crowd we noticed several pnilcemcn
ol this city, and two or three Philadelphia lawyers,
wnose errand across tne river was to secure, h pos
sible, the release of the imprisoned Wluc-coats.
Defendants are represented by lawyers Fort and
Hupp, of Camden. They demanded of the Mayor
the release of the nrisoners on tho around that ttiera
had been no complaint made against them, and that
it was Illegal to detain any man without a charge
Having been preierren against mm.
District Attorney Jenkins replied that an argu
tnent on that point could be made at the time of the
hearing in the afternoon. When the hour of '1
o'clock arrived the piosecutors would, no doubt, be
present.
The court was then adjourned until the hour
specified.

A Sensitive Policeman and an outrage This
morning, as Colonel J. II. Deweese was walking
down Chcsnut street, in company with two friends.
a squad of polk-emen were passed. Colonel De
weese remarked as tney went iiy, "only one more
year, boys." These words caught the ear of oue of
Mayor Fox s patrol, out no notice was taken or tne
remark at the time. When, how ever,
Colonel Deweese reached Fourth street,
he was seized by the coat collar by one of the police
men whom he had passed, and who had turned to
follow him niter a lew moments reflection. Tnis
policeman stated that the Colonel had insulted him,
and for tnis reason he arrested him and conducted
him to the Central Station. The police
man stated his Intention of locking up
his prisoner at once, whereupon
one of the friends who had been in his company,
and who Is a Democrat, declared that before he wa3
locked up an Inventory must be taken of all the
valuables about Ids person. An Immediate hearing
was also demanded, If there was any charge to be
preferred, and this request was complied with,
colonel Deweese being taken before Alderman
Ktrr, and by that functionary sentenced to pay a
line of V. This Colonel Deweese positively refused
to do, declaring that he had merely expressed his
opinion.
TPC AUtermnn insisted upon tne nnc oeing paid,
nnd Colonel Deweese declared that he would not
pay it, when Mr. Cattell, the President of 8el"ct
Council, entered the room, and In compliance with
his advice the prisoner was set at liberty without
more ado. A very nice question arises out of this
case, in the solution of which citizens who nave de
cided opinions about Mayor Fox's police arc deeply
interested.

Sf tcial Jivpatrh to the JSeeuimj Telegraph,
Wasiiinoton, Dec. 0. Tho President has
determined to give out for publication all letters
yet unpublibhcd relative to the resignation of
Secretary Cox. It is understood there are threo
letters which have a direct bearing on tho ca?e.
Duo from the President to Cox, a reply from
Cox, and a letter from Senator Chandler. The
correspondence between the President and Cox
relative to the Mc(5arrne;han claim and the pro
priety of i?f.uiu? a patcst to tho New Edria
Minining Company. The letter from Senator
Chandler is about tho appointment of certain
Indian ncnls, ond is addressed to the President.
4rnnt and the Kleclloni.
Judjje Kelley aDd several members of Con
press called upon the President this morning,
nnd had a conversation relative to the result of
tho elections yesterday. The President is of
the opinion that, judging; from the returns
already received, the administration party has
not only held its own, but made some gains.
All he expected in view of this being the first
Congressional election after tho Presidential
election was that the Republicans should hold
their own, ns it usually happens that tho first
election for Congress after the inauguration of
an administration is a defet for tha p:irty in
power.
illrs. firnnt nnd Mrs. Coy.
The President desires that the story about
Mrs. Cox having sent to Mrs. Grant a bitter
newspaper article on the adtninistratiou be con
tradicted, lie says it has no loundatton m iact,
and was evidently set alloat by some malicious
person, lhe relations between the two ladies
always have been and are of the most friendly
character.

Protection of tlie Deputy jliir"lialii.
The old Federal building in Chambers street, in
which ate located the ofllees of the United States
CommifsioherB, tho Marshal, and District-Attorney,
was tne scene or unusual excitemeui yeaieruay
The corridors constantly echoed with the tramp of
prisoners arrested for violating the Congresalonal
Election law. Numerous carriages were kept iu
readiness in front of tho building for tho
purpose of conveying the prisoners to
Jail. At daylight the Marshal's ortlce
was placed In telegraphic communication with the
various sections 01 me city, lnciuuiug ueneni juo.
Dowell's headquarters, by a special wire attached
to the Western Union Hue, and an operator was
detailed to receive messages from the chief deputy
marshals and supervisors of the di Herein districts.
and to forward orders for the guidance of the latter
oillcials in eases of emergency. General Sharpe
and Colonel Dts Anges, his chief aid, were present
at the oillce from the opening to the closing of the
polls, belLg prepared to commence sharp measures
for tiie enforcement of the law on the slightest
warning.
District-Attorney Davis and his associates, Messrs.
Turdy and Davles, were also in attendance to give
legal advice. Everything progressed quietly until
ai.mit nvini-k. at which linm intelligence was re
ceived that Cornelius Corson, "Chief of the bureau
of Elections." had issued an ordorto tne inspectors,
Informing them that the United States oillcers were
not empowered to remain at the pills ti witness the
counting after the vote for Congress had beeu
disposed of. This was justly regarded as
a Tammanv trick to open the way to
fraudH, and was construed into an attempt
to evade the agreement made between ine f ederal
and the citv authorities. The danger was considered
Imminent, and there was strong talk of airordlng
military protection to the deputies and supervisors
in the discharge of their duties. The excitement was
intensified bv the arrival of Hon. John Fox, one of
the leaders of the Young Democracy, with the an
nouncement that the police were driving the United
biates ofllcers away from the polls in the First
ward. Marshal bharpe told his subordinates to pre
serve the peace until 4 o'clock, if possible,
In tho meantime, District Attorney Davis
and Marshal bharpe had arranged for
conference with the city authorities, with a view of
annulling the obnoxious orner circulated uy carson
and uf obvlatina the necessity for military lutcrler
ence. Hon. Caleb Cushlog, special attorney f r the
Government, proceeded Immediately to l'olice Ileal-
ouarters. when ne was met ny air. n. w. stouga

The eirect ol the order was to prevent any collision
between the national and local oillcers, tlie former
being permitted to remain near the ballot boxes
until all the votes had been counted. The Tinted
States Marshal and District-Attorney were fully de
termined to support the deputies and supervisors In
the legitimate performance of their duties, and
troops were stationed In several parts of the city to
prevent any riot which might occur. About
400 men were placed in a building In Forty-sixth
street, nnd a Commissioner (Shields) attended
there during the day with the intention of ordering
tnem out as nrovniea nv law in case or troun e.
Another large force was assembled at tho'in-al-nuarters
of the Department of the East In Houston
street, nnder command of General Klddoo. The
lower part of the city was covered by troops com
manded by General Vogdes, who nmdo his head-
nuartcrs in the brown-stone building at no. '204
Broadway, fortunately their services were not re
quired, ns tne supervisors were not molested at the
polls. A. 1 . 2 (tuc to-day.
ACCIDENT OX TIIE FEXXA. CENTR4L.
Nnrrow Ifsenpe front a Terrible Calamity.
The Lancaster InteUinencer of last evening savs:-
The fiust line west on the Pennsylvania Hulroad
ran into a cow about a half mile beyond Coatesville
yesterday afternoon and sustained considerable
damage, the baggage car being kwtly wrecked and
two passenger coaches moro or less broken. The
engine knocked the cow oil tho track, but striking a
itnceor leiegrnpn poie sue reuounnea ana wedged
herself between the baggage-car and tender. The
eil'ect of this was to break tho coupling Jolutlng of
the cars, and the engine sped on, leaving the tralu
beinna. 1 no rmggage-ear was tnrown on ine track,
and coining In contact with telegraph poles the
front end was turned In the dlrectiou of Philadel
phia. All this time the baggage-master was In
tne car, nut to tne asionisuiueuc 01 an escaped
unharmed. so great was tne momentum
of the train when the collision took place
that the bnggage-car was carried along about
two hundred yards before it stopped, lhe
llrst passenger one hundred yards and tlie
second lifty yards. Although they were in the
greatest peril, none of the passengers sustained the
least Injury, but some of them were almost fright
ened to distraction. They owe their safety to the
presence 01 mind in tne engineer, to tne perfection
ol the steam brakes, to the tough steel rails, and to
the strength or the coaches, mo shock was so
completely broken by the brakes that the passengers
In the last four cars scarcely perceived it, and no
damage was done to that part of the train. The
earth was ploughed In a deep furrow on the north
side of the track, telegraph poles were
snapped like pipe 6teins, fence rails were
driven Into the buggago car, piercing
great trunks through and through, the steel rails 011
lhe track were grouud Into 6havings, twisted and
bent, all of which show under what tremendous
pressure the train was brought to a sudden stop. A
broken rail In the next Bou feet, after the cow was
struck, would have cost scores or lives, aud reduced
the whole train to a wreck. The strength of the
timbers in the side or tns passenger car which re
ceived and pushed aside the heavy baggage car
saved the lives or many ny a very narrow cnance.
The train arrrved In this city between 7 and 8 o'clock,
having uccnuciaincu auounour nours.
