MONDAY, AUGUST 2,11858
• OUR ANNIVERSARY:
The reader' of this journaY need not be re
minded that Tea Pans Was yesterday one
year old, and that it beginif A New Volume to
dtiy. There has been enough in its history,
if not In it, character and career, to make
It an object of some filtered,' at leUt
to those who have warmly and steadily sup
ported 'lt. 'How far it has hailed its
promises, others must decide. Our design
was to present a thorough newspaper
to the people, and, If possible, to make
Tea Pens honest and Independent. With
some experience in journalism, some knowl
edge of mon, and certain claims upon political
consideration, if not upon Presidential favor,
wo saw, in the publication ofa fbarleu and con
scientious paper, Ihr more truo joy, far more
real Independence, than could spring from any
other public connection. There is no post at
the same time more arduous and more agree. .
able than that of managing a newspaper, upon
princfpfea. It the duties of gnat a
post are faithfully discharged, the public will
not fall to recognize the fact. It may take
years to recompense the man -who Is ready to
run such a risk, and he may fall utterly in the
t; but if he succeeds he wins an ender
for himself and his children;

to others, and are advocating principles
"'without being In the smallest degree the re
cipient of office or patronage, human ambition
van, it seems to us, have no nobler aim: No
man can long be the :who and the organ of
faction, or even of administrations, without
In the end forfeiting his own manhood, or
turning from the task with Instinctive disgust.
• Goal has implanted In every human breast
mouthing that rejects all mental slavery—
and the dullest clod I. not always insensible
to emotions which applaud an upright man,
wherever he is found.
We frankly conlbss that wo desired to sus
lain J AMEN Bei:usual( in the Presidency. - We'
longed for an opportunity to show that, Inas
much as we bad advocated his aspirations for
that high place, with the ardor of disinte
rested and unsalculating friendship, so wo
could give to his Administration of the Gene
ral Government a support which would be a
hundred times more efficient because given
without indebtedness for a farthing of his pa
tronage.
Unable to accept office under his Adminir
lull on, for which, indeed, we never were an ap
plicant, directly or Indirectly, add eager to bury
the personal differences, too apt to follow the
accession of men to Imperial power—for the
Presidency of the United States hall become al
most Imperial—we said 4 1 Tut Passs shal
stand by the General Administration, buns,
the public policy of that Adminstration can
scarcely bo wrong—and the people hays nt
sympathy with the griefs of politiciami,
the personal differences of men." And in
this vein the following announcement of Tim
Paw appeared in the very first number o
that journal, printed on the let of August ;
1857 :

Republic," wero only natural to one who felt
profoundly solicitous for, if not personally in
terested in, the success of.TAWES BUCHANAN'S
Administration. Tax PRESS was, wholly, our
own enterprise; but when we spoke for the ‘,
Administration, we "Spoke from ample authori- 1

including the President, saw or know what wo

commit them to the people, but also to com
mit Tea Passe. All that the people asked
at the bands of that Administration was fidelity
to the pledges of 1&56. To these, we bad been
personally and publicly bound in tho last
Presidential campaign, while conducting the
canvass which resulted in Mr. BUCHANAN'S
election. The subsequent distribution of pa
tronage was nothing; . tho recognition of old
foes, and the repudiation of old friends, was
forgotten, difficult as it wastoreconcile a prac
tice like this with the professions of a life
time. Give to the peoplo of Kansas the right to
manage their own institutions in their own way,
and so vindicate your friends in Pennsylvania,
and surround your administration lc with a
united public opinion," and the good work,
will be accomplished. This, and this only,
was the expectation of THE Pam.
Returning to our Prospectus end promise
ono year ago, have we "supplied a daily,
cheap, trustworthy, and intelligent medium of
popular information ?" .
Has a Tug Pale) spoken for itself on all the
great questions of the day 7"
Has its w political department been con
ducted on Demobmtic principles ?"
Did wo not sustain Mr. BUCHANAN'S Ad
ministration as developed up to w that nio
ment," and do w everything that. ono man
could do to uphold and strengthen him, and
to gather around bim a united public opinion"
—even on the Kansas question as it then
stood ?
And have we not, ((throughout his Adminis
tration, given a full and hearty support to all
his measures regarding, respecting, and sup
porting the rights of the citizens and the
rights of the States?"
This we promised—no more ; not as a "parti
san "—for we distinctly avowed that we were
"not ambitious of printing a mere party paper"
—but that we would "with firm faith and unfal
tering f*stepa follow constitutional principle&
to their logical and legitimate conclusions."
An answer to all these questions may be
round in the extraordinary success and wide
spread reputation and circulation of " THE
P.m "—which, we repeat, is unparalelied In
the history of journalism--over twenty thou
sand copies, reaching all over the United
States and far into other parts of the world—
Ind this in the first year of its existence—.
without any attempt to puff its character or
extend its circulation.
We do not utak& this allusion to this
question for any purpose of " explanation" or
• 1 apology"—we need neither—but merely to
.how where Tux Paxss started and whore
it is now; leaving it to all our readers
to judge who Dave been wrong and who right.
We would suggest, however, that the " sweet
sunshine," the " quiet and content" which we
raid a year ago had followed the "stormy
scenes" of the preceding year," as the "early
fruits" of Mr. BUCIIANAN'a course in favor of
a popular sovereignty" have not " ripened in
the future i" but
_that_ his abandonment of
this principle has causd the revival of those
'stormy scenes" as witnessed during the past
year, and which are now raging in Illinois and
elsewhere over the country, with a still darker

Tho sudden deatk of Major JOUR SANDERS!,
U. S. A., at Fort Dela;rare, on ThUrsday last,
already announced in this journal, will be sad
news to those who knew the man. Ho was
one of a remarkable family. An ornament to
the United States army, of which he was an
officer, he was distinguished for genius and scho
larship of the highest order. In the corps of
topographical engineers he was conspicuous.
Fort Delaware is a monument of his ex
perience and care. To him, more than to
any other man, is Philadelphia indebt
ed for the successful manner in which
,its insecure .foundations have been re
paired and fortified, and the work it
self pushed to its present forward state.
Major SANDERS was a gentleman of high
character, warm heart, and groat good sense.
At the time of his decease he was looking
forward to a brilliant career, and, until within
a few days before his death, was in excellent
health. Ho was the grandson of the late
celebrated Geortatt NzcuoLs, of Kentucky,
son of Lima SANDERS, Esq., of that State;
a politician of great influence, son-in-law of
lion. WILLIAM Thrums, of Pennsylvania,
(Secretary;ef War under Mr. TYLER, Minister
to Russia under General JACKSON, and Sena
tor in our last State Legislature,) and brother
of the well-known GEORGE N. SANDERS, Esq.,
of New York. Wo mourn the loss of Major
SANDERS RS the loss of UR Old and devoted
friend.
• Four days' later intelligence from Europe,
received yesterday by the Vanderbilt steamer
from Southampton on the 21st ult., reports
that the Telegraphic Fleet had again started,
with favorable weather.
Public attention, and we may say public
Indignation, had been much excited; In Eng
land and in Franco by the massacre of the
Consuls of both countries, with many other
Christians, at Jeddah. No ordinary repara
tion will be accepted. The Sultan was willing
to make as full atonement as money could
give. - But it is clear that the delinquent Ma
homedans must receive a severe lesson:--
that they must be taught to respect the law of
humanity and the law of nations, both of
which they have so flagrantly violated. As
sured as Groat 'Britain must bo of the com
plicity of Mahomedans in the Indlan revolt,
her Government will, probably, not be dis
posed to let the present occasion of retribu
tivoittstice pass by.
Tho English journals aro chiefly filled with
debates In Parliament :—Oft the India Bill, in.
the Lords, and on the Jews, Hudson's Bay
Company, and New Caledonia Colony Bills in
the Commons.
Tho'Parisian as well as the English Journals
were speculating, sometimes very wildly, upon
the approaching visit of Queen VICTORIA to
the Emperor NAPOLEON, at Cherbourg; which
port, carrying out the gigantic and masterly
plans of the great NAPOLEON, the t! nephew of
my uncle" has converted into a French Se
bastopol. The meeting of the Queen and the
Emperor was to take place upon the 6th of
this month, and the royal visit would probably
not extend over a second day. It is more of
a political than a personal affair.
Instead of immediately returning to Eng
land, Queen VICTORIA is to pay a strictly pri
vate visit to her eldest daughter, Princess
FREDRICK of Prussia, at Berlin. That young
lady, it is hinted, will bestow upon VICTORIA,
early in November, the venerable title and
dignity of grandmother.
The Oommereial intelligence from England
is favorable, but there had been a slight de
cline in the money market.
Illustrat ions of Egypt and Palestine.
So much attention has lately been drawn to the
localities of Egypt and Palestine, mentioned in
Holy Writ—more particularly, In this city, by the
published letters and lectures of the Rev. Dr.
Stevens—that we were highly gratified, a day or
two ago, by the Impaction of two Numbers of a new
work, to be oompieted in twenty-Ave monthly
parts, each at $3, the whole containing seventy-
Ave exquisite photographic views in Egypt and
Palestine, by F. Frith, Jr., an English artist of ce
lebrity, and to bo sold only to subscribers, a list of
whose names will appear in the last part. A more
beautiful work we have never seen, nor, for its in
trinsic value, a cheaper. Each photograph is ac
companied by a letter press description from the
artist's pen. The parts which we have seen con.
fain a portrait (of the author?) in Turkish summer
costume; the Spbynx, and (treat Pyramid, Gazeb;
Roam Ombo, Upper Egypt; Pool of Iletoklatt,4o.,
from the Tower of Ripping, Jerusalem; Nazareth,
from the Northwest; Cleopatra's Temple, at Er

and moans are so often found in companionship.

I was prosent at the birth of your journal; I
know the motives which induced you to publish
it; I know the sincerity of your intentions, and
above all, your earnest disposition to support Mr.
Buchanan's Administration. Your object was to
make an independent Democratio journal, artd .
well have you fulfilled your pledges. At this
moment no journal wields a more extended and
deserved influence. Although it is minded from
the departments almost "on pain of death," and
proscribed by tho sycOphants of power, yet does
it find its way among the masses as a welcome
visitor to the saholar; the politician, end the
general reader. May it continue tho career it
has so well begun. It it does, nothing can pre
vent it from attaining apopularity as enduring as
it will be profitable.
I hear no one complain of the course of Hon.

important place of Federal patronage.

Extraordinary intelligence has reached hereto
the draft that the British Government have had
an overland route surveyed from their possesaions in
the Rocky Mountains to a certain point in Canada,
by which they will be able to construct a railroad
over their own territory on this continent, uniting
the Paoille with the Atlantio. The proposed route
is mush shorter than that of our Government, and
as the British Government stands ready VC secure
a certain fixed rate of interest to all who may
choose to invest in this great enterprise, its feasi
bility is beyond doubt. I have this information

The Hon. John Hickman spoke for the first
time to the people of Delaware county on last
Thursday evening, at this plaoo, and a more able
and convincing speech could'not have been made.
He was listened to with the deepest interest by a
very tine audience, and made a most favorable im
preesion on men of all parties. The great doctrine
of popular sovereignty—that doctrine which
comes straight home to the heart of every man
who ti In favor of republican liberty—was spread
out before the audience in a masterly manner.
He argued with groat eloquence and power in
favor of the rale of the masses—for the many nen
power, sad in opposition to the one man power.
He showed that we only were different from Aus
tria, because we had the majority rule. He
showed our pledges as a party in Mg, nod an
nounced his unfaltering determination to carry
them out in good faith so far as ho was individn
ally concerned. Mr. Hickman is advertised to
speak at several other pints in this county du

conducts an orchestra, not very large, but Dorn ,

ventilated, has lost its " ancient and horsc-like
smell ;" the ushers are attentive and eivil ; and,
in the treasury, as we passed by it on Saturday
evening, the familiar feces of John Drew's, Mr.
Murphy, and our old acqualotanee Mr. Perry,
formerly of New York, assured us that a new
regime had indeed commenced, for Messrs. Mur
phy and Perry are gentlemen whose "acceptance
of oteoe" in an es'abliimment is a guarantee to
the public of integrity and honorable dealing.
The performances on Saturday evening, con.
slating of a melodrama, and a local play, do not
possess sufficient interest, as playa, to warrant a
lengthened criticism. But we have a word or two
to say about the performers, and commence, as in
duty bound, with the ladies. Mrs. Foster has the
advantage of good•looks, and evident familiarity
with stage.businece. The rile she bad to sustain
gave her so opportunity of exhibiting her ability
so an entrees. Miss Julia Cooke, Brat as a vary well
looking midshipman, and then as a beggar•gid,
who turns out to be "the Heiress of Chestnut
street," clearly went in for applause, deserved it,
and got it. Mr. Maginley, who performs with
eve and spirit, is a good low comedian, and Mr.
Charles Foster, first as a caller, and then ae a
fireman, drew down " thunders of applause."
Mr. Langdon bee "a bould voice" which old
Richardson so much admired in Cartlitob, that he
left him a thousand pounds because he made him

not quite equal to that, but certainly he could get
on more pleasantly with a more subdued tone and
manner. There was some laughable eomia dancing,
to Irish airs, by Mademoiselle Theresa and Mr.
U. T. Sheldon. The audience encored it.
This evening a molo:drama, named after and
written from Scott's romance of " Ivanhoe," will
be brought out, very judiciously cast, as far as.we
can judge. Miss Julia Cook as Rebecca, Mr. Chas.
Foster as Ivanhoe, Mr. W. H. Bailey se Friar

It only remains for us to add that, at this
theatre, the performances commence precisely at
the advertised hour of eight, and that the pauses
between the aota are wonderfully brief.

A HAnna •Concris CASE of considerable in
terest was decided by Judge McClure on Friday at
Pittsburgh, Pa. John Nichols, a glass.blower,,of
Birmingham, applied for a writ to obtain posses
sion of - his three children, Josepline, Jane, and
Mary Ann, aged respectively 1/ 8, and 5 years,
who wore at the time in the custody of their mo
ther, in Birminiham. It appeared that some four
teen years ago, Nichols married a Miss Duff, of
Birmingham, a young lady respectably connected.
She had been a Catholio, but joined the Methodist
Episcopal Church prior to marriage. Subsequent.
ly she returned to the Catholic Church, and there
being some difficulty between. them in regard to
what faith the children should be educated in, Ni
chols in 1854 run off with another man's wife.
In 1856, Nichols, who had deserted his paramour,
returned home, fond through the aid of friends
was reconciled to his wife. ' lie lived with her till
Jnly, 1857, when, after placing the youngest girl
out of the reach of the mother, ho went to the
town of New Albany, near Brownsville, where ho
was employed in a glass•houge. A short time since,
Mrs. Nichols discovered that her little girl had
been placed in the Allegheny Orphan's Asylum,
whence she was delivered by a writ of habeas
oorpue, which came before Judge McClure, into
the custody of the mother.
Thursday, Nichols forcibly took the child from
the mother, but gave it up upon being brought
before Justice Bymmos. le then sued out a writ
of habeas corpus for the possession of the three
children, and, being . brought before Judge Me-
Clure, after a beating, the decision in the OBEs was
postponed till Friday. Nichols claimed the custody
of the children on the ground that the mother was

House or Loans, July 19 —Lord Stratford de
Radcliffe allnded to the late atroolous massacre at
Teditah. After dwelling on the elownese of Turk
ish °Aglaia ti renderingjustice, ho expressed the
hope the r of the occupation of Mecca,
pr the seizure of some precious (Meets of venera

lie wished to know whether her Majesty's Go
vernment had received any oflioial adviser of the
massacre at Jeddah, whether instructions had
bean issnedtordemanding full reparation from the
Porte through the British and French Ministers
at Constantinople ; and whether, in case of wilful
delays, adequate measures wore taken to enforce
Onr3ust demands. The Earl of Malmesbury re
plied that the necessary steps hnd been taken to
demand immediate redress. There was no inten
tion of occupying Mecca. He trusted to be able
to state what steps had been taken by the Turk
ish Pasha sent to Jeddah to do justice for the re
-0 nit outrage.
Dilr.s..,t.LL —The Earl of Ellenborough and the
Duk; i iiiNwesesslaspressed on the Earl of Derby
lie sly Of postponing the committee on the
India Bill until Tuesday evening, on the ground
of the thin attendance of the House; but Lord
Derby declined to aroedo to the suggestion, and
Lord Klenboroagh then opposed (in committee)
clauee 34, regulating appointments to the scien•
lino branches of the Indian army. The proposal
to give thitieappointments by competition was an
stet of homage to demooraoy ; it woe totally un
balled•for. It would affect injuriously the future•
efficiency of the artillery and engineers of the
Indian army. The Earl of Derby maintained
that the prineiple of competition was actually in
force at Woolwich and Addisoomb. By omitting the
last three lines the clause would not introduce the
system of strict competition. The clause provided
that persons should be admitted into the artillery
and engineers upon an examination The regula
tions for which examination should, with all con
venientspeed, he prepared and proscribed by the
Secretary of State under the authority of the
Crown; The Duke of Somerset opposed the clause.
After much discussion in which a number of Peers
took part; the committee divided Contents, 41;
non-contents, .34; ,majgrity, 7. The olauee was
then agreed to. The Earl of Ellenborough pro
posed, in clause 52, the insertion of words placing
it beyond doubt or question,- that the expenditure
of India:should be charged on the revenue of In
dia alone. The consideration of the clause was
postponed for the amendment to be printed. The
Earl of Derby proposed, in clause 53, the insertion
of words with a view to the periodical production,
before Parliament, of statistical information re
!peeing the moral and material progress of India.
Tb eelouse, as amended, was [Treed, to. After
some discussion on clause 55, it was agreed to as
amended. The remaining clauses of the bill were
also agreed to, and the bill was ordered to be re
ported this day (Tuesday.)
In the Limo of Commons, July 19, a great deal
of discussion took place on the motion for doodori•
zing the river Thames. Lord Palmerston said he
hoped the House would agree to the second read
ing of the bill, and not prolong the evils of disease
and suffering caused by imperfect drainage. He
thought it unfortunate, too, that so large an
amount of fertilizing matter should be thrown
away. After some remarks from several mem.
hers, thebili was read a second time.
Jews' Bint.—On the order forgoing into com
mittee on the Jews' bill, Mr. Knightly, an oppo
nent of the bill. said he thought that if the Lords
intended to admit Jews to Parliament, it would
have been wiser to agree to the bill sent up to
them by the Commons than to pans this queer mea
sure of an Irish compromise, accompanied by rea
'one why its previsions ought not to be acted upon
by the House. Mr. Gilpin oheracterized the bill
as a miserable subterfuge, and only a little better
than nothing at all. Mr. Bentinek declared that
the bill a direct and aggravated insult was
offered to the House of Commons, and to the
alesrwhemselves. He contended thati the House
wag bound to include Turks, heretics and infidels
'in tho bill Mr. Spooner thought the bill a groat
+disgrace to the other branch of the Legislature,
en it that it was an insult to this House to ask it to
'ogres to a ineasnro, every word of which was re
probated. except the object it was to carry out.
Lord J. Russell, at the request of Mr. Spooner,
showed that there was nothing unconstitutional
in the provisions of the bill. Upon a division, the
ayes, for the Committee were 144, and the noes
40. Mr. Spooner voting, apparently by mistake,
with the former. The House then went into Com
mittee upon the bill, when Mr. Spooner moved to
add a proviso to the first clause, 'That such res
olution be not acted on until the consent of the
Crown be signified to both Houses of Parliament.
The motign was negatived, and this, and the
other clauses were agreed to without amendment.
Rom or Loans, July 20.—0 n the order of the
day for going into committee on rho sale and
transfer of land (Ireland) bill, Lord St. Leonard
protested against the farther pregress of the mea
sure. He said it would revolutionize the whole
law of property. The Lord Chancellor defended
the previsions of the act. Lord Cranworth sup
pdrted the bill, with the exception of the thirty
first clause, against which clause ho strongly pro
tested. The Earl of Wicklow expressed the same
objections to this part of the bill, as those pointed
out by Lord Cranworth.
In committee a division was taken on this
I clause, which was agreed to by a majority of nine
teen. On bringing up the report of the Govern
ment of India bill, Lord Ellenborough moved an
tuciendment, which removes any pusibla doubt
that the expanses of the Indian Government are
to he defrayed from the revenue of India only.
It was agreed to, and, after a brief discussion, the
report was received, and the bill ordered to be
reed a third time on Thursday. Their Lordships
then adjourned.
'ln the House of Commons, July 20, Lord Stan
ley asked whether, tinder existing circumstances
in India, it would not be desirable to offer a com
plete amnesty, with certain exceptione, to all who
laid down their arms. Mr. Roebuck moved the
following resolutions : "That the privileges of the
Hudsoa's Bay Company,,,iabout to expire, ought not
to be renewed ; that the legal validity of the rights
I claimed by the Hudson'sßay Company, under their
I charter, ought at ones to be determined by process
1 of law: and that so much of the territory hitherto
held by.the Hudson's Bay Company as may be
needed for the purpose of colonization ought,
without delay, to be resumed by the Government
of this country."
The motion was seconded by Lord Bury

ourred with Mr. Gladstone, that it would be better
to leave this matter to the Cloven:AMA.

tiatory steps to -become citizens: A majority ex.
these eon' be qualified to vote at the eomingpott
her election. gormoriv the German felt no inter
est in qualifying him& to.vote. But the revolu
thin of '4B in Europe drovi: to this country a Toot
number of native-minded enepitio Germans who
think - too vigorously and: investigate too mush to
be contented with the phlegmatic, a:slw habits, for
merly characterizing, to some extent, Oe notion or
their co:mtrymen. ,
Nearly, if not vita, ono half the Germans of
this city have immigrated slice 1818. Reece there
is far more Intellectual actilily, and more ~ y mpa•
thy with the vast go-sheadm-tiveness of . the Ame
rican character among that clam of popula:iott
than there was anterior to that, time. The COM.-
once of this fact is shown by the groat naming,
of Germans who join our Odd Felipe's MINIM fOla r •
one Red Men, and, &dung to our benevo
lent associations of all descriptions. It is exhibited
in the increased interest they are yearly taking in
polition• There mutt• have existed at least twenty
political Gorman clubs in 1851. These clubs em
braced both Republicans and Democrats!
But we do not propose to diming their Intel
lectual tendeneies and peculiarities as b peoplo,
so moll as' to give such reliable statistics ns we
can obtain concerning their position and im
portance. So far as these facts will warrant are
inference we may draw it.
. ,
• There are twenty 7 one German places of worship
in the city. Of three, three are Catholic, five ate
Lutheran, three Reformed German, one Baptist; '
ono Methodist, esveneyesgogues, and one of Free-
Thiakerti One authority divides them ntimeri- .
sally at follows: Catholics, 20,000; Protestants,
30,000; Jews, 15,000;.Free-Thinkers, 10,000; In.
dlfferents, or emcee not erring enough about
religious tenete to take the trouble to aro* their
belief, s,ooo—total, 80,000. Another estimated it
at : Catolics ; 20,000; Protestants, 35,000; 'Jews,
12.000; and Itree-Thinhenr and. Indifforente,
13,000. .
Our renders will perceive that it is impossible to .
procure erectness concerning the relative strength -
of these different sects. An approximation, from
careful German statisticians, could only be hed.
We believe that these estimates, averaged, would
give the truth near enough for all -practical pur
poses.
Intelligent Germane have remarked to us that
the recent religious revival, which seems to have
,
' so deeply and widely, affected other classes of our
countrymen. has not penetrated into theiesless to
any noticeable extent. We have sought from them
! no philesophieni - explanation of this fact. We pre.;
I sumo that it arises from two causes: First, be.
cause the German mind is not disposed to receive
hnpressions switionlyand strongly; and, secondly,
because the tendency, of - the educated German
mind; of the younger (dese r ts to embracit the datl=

There is but one benevolent society in the city
which was exclusively Gemmel() in its origin, and
which is entirely Germanic in its purposes. This
is known under the name of Deutsche Gesellschaft.
It is very old, and has been in existence since
1785. It is, therefore, the oldest German solely
in the city. Its purpose le tenesist German immi
gration. When Immigrants arrive, the society
_procures thorn situations, gives them advice, and
Ss for as possible prevents them from imposition
and swindling in a strange land. The moiety is
reputed to be wealthy. It is said to number about
two hundred and fifty . members. Ite - ageney is on
North Seventh street, just above Market. 'Wo haver
hoard it said that it is so-wealthy that the meal-'
bore are not obliged to contribute any lodger: Its
agent is not permitted to charge immigrants for
information given or services rendered to them.

QUARTER 672891098—Judge Allison.—On Satur
day the ease of W. 0. Bryant, charged with forcible
entry, and detainer, was resumed on habeas rot ,
pm. The particulars have been before given.
After hearing the evidenoe, Judge Allison remand
ed Mr. Bryant for trial.
Witnesses were examined in the case of George
Severna, who had pleaded guilty to the charge of
assault and battery upon Mr. liouptmam After
hearing the evidence, Judge Allison fined Mr.
Severna $2O, and ordered him to pay the costs of
prosecution. The evidence showed the assault and
battery alleged
. grow out of an eleotion bet. Af
ter a few reognizanoes in desertion eases had been
forfeited a considerable disturbance occurred at
the seutivenst door of the courthouse. Judge
Allison wished immediately to know what the
die
turbanco was. Officer Wm. K. Coulson appeared
and said, a parson bad attempted to enter the
Courthouse, who, ho requested to leave, and not
doing so, he expelled him ; he said his name was
Gardner.
Mr. John Gardner was brought in court and tes
tified that he and a friend had attempted to enter
the court house; Mr. Coulson told hint there was
no room; I replied there were vacant seats non r
the wall, and that he had a note for Mr. Sander
son; Coulson said if you don't go allay I will put
you out. I replied, well put use out, anethen
Coulson pushed mo out in a very rude and violent
manner.
Mr. Coulson immediately denied this statement.
Judge Allison said:.There hoe been this morn
ing a great deal of confusion in the court hone° ;
it was the duty of the officers to quell it, but it
was no part of their duty to commit assault and
battery in endeavoring to do so; they should
bring the matter to the attention of the vault, and
they would take cognizance of it and punish the
offender. Judge Allison then suspended Mr Coul
son and ordered h'm to enter bail in .$.500 to an
swer the charge of assault and battery upon Mr.
Gardner. We trust that Officer Coulson may be
able to explain this transaction to the entire satis
fentien of the court, no ha is an able, trustworthy,
and efficient offioer.
Tho desertion oases lvere then taken up, but
wore of no public interest.
