t4t Vrtss SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1865. PEACE. (from the Washington Chronicle.] It is a fact that, whenever occasion offers, the two armies, Union and Confederate, fraternize with peculiar enthusiasm. Why is this ? Is it not because they are of; the same blood ? is. it not because they have fought on the same battle-fields ? And is not this manifestation an exhibition of their mutual devotion to the old flag? Thus we find in the Richmond Sentinel, of the that of January, that "when Messrs. STEPHENS, HUNTER, and CAMPBELL passed through our lines on the way to Washing- . ton, the shouting eking the lines was pro longed and enthusiastic." And again : " Once before the acelamatimis of the army were united. When they 'lay confront ed at Fredericksburg a fine military band s—played, in succession, Yankee Doodle,' Dixie,' and, other national airs. These were appropriately responded to by the two armies alternately ; but when the band struck up Home,' Sweet Home,' the opposing camps forgot their hostilities, and united in vociferous tribute to the common sentiment." And what is this common sentiment ? It is a common sen timent of remembrance_ and veneration for the glorious past. It is a common sentiment to be respected in , this signifi cant hour. Yesterday it was announced that the President of the United States had started for Fortress Monroe. The mere rumor caused a thrill in every loyal American heart. • It suggested that, in his sovereign capacity, he had, gone there for the purpose of concluding peace with The Confederate authorities; that Mr. Saw a-an had proceeded to consult with these authorities was sufficiently known. We • have been overwhelmed with telegrams and letters from friends who are anxious to know whether these efforts to secure peace between the established Government of the United States and the unfortunate and .misguided people assailing it, _ have any - foundation. In reply, we have to say that we hope these efforts, whether coming from private individuals or *public persons, may succeed. BEING OUR OWN PART, SLAVERY BEING PRACTICALLY AND CONSTITUTIONALLY ABO LISHED, WE ARE READY TO CON CEDE EVERYTHING ELSE TO RE CALL OUR ERRING BRETHREN. On the subject of confiscation, who does not know that many of the leading Republicans in Congress ob jected to the law, which has been partially and ineffectively enforced ? Who does not know that those whoshave purchased under - this law in the city of Washington and else where admit that they have the frailest of titles ? Why not, then, at once give up a law, for the sake of perpetual peace, which all nations in times of war have regarded as - temporarY ? Next comes the Amnesty Proclamation, with all its exceptions as to great offenders. Why not make this gene ral without exception ? Are we afraid of diem? Do we fear their reappearance at the Federal capital ? Are we of the free North, ' every State of which' is committed and sworn against slavery— with -West Virginia, Maryland, Nevada, and the incoming free Territories—are we afraid to admit any of our countrymen, submitting to the 'Constitution and obeying the laws, to all the privileges of the Ame rican Union ? If we are, we are unworthy of the destiny which has been transmitted to us ,by our fathers and theini. --- Of shall - we send the rapidly-demoralizing rebel army into Mexico ? Shall we allow it to reinforce -the minion of Lours NAPOLEON, AfaxrunrArt ? Shall we hold the position of France after the Revolution, when - her expatriated nobility plotted the great conspiracies which undermined the First Consul and contributed to his terrible and 'final overthrow -7 Shall we allow the des perate men who may be expelled from the United States, in the event of a sudden peace, to intrigue against the country Met .once dearly loved, or shall we take them - lack to meet_ the free people of the free States of America Whatever Mr. LlN comes policy is, whether he is at Fortress Monroe or in the city of Washington-, we believe he possesses the sublime attribute of rewarding the friends of the Union, and forgiving all the enemies of the Union who are ready to return to the old flag. Rival Navies—American and European. Lord CLARENCE PAGET, Parliamentary Secretary of the British Admiralty, him self a naval officer who has seen a great deal of service, is undoubtedly one of the ablest and most practical men in the Palmerston Administration. Although only fifty-three years old, he served in the battle of Navarino, in October, 1827. He' com. mended the-Princess Royal, of ninety-one guns, in the expedition to the Baltic, in 18154. His administrative power is con fessedly great, and it is scarcely too much to say that the Duke of Somerset, nominal head of the Admiralty, is merely a sort of ornamental figure-head to the Navy De partment—the Secretary doing the work of head and hand. A short time ago, follow ing what has become' a general practice among British publicists, during the period when Parliament -is not' in session, Lord CLARENCE PAGET Made a long speech to his constituents. He represents the bo rough• of Sandwich, a small port in Sent, tinder the influence of the Government of the day and the LOrd Warden of the Cinque Ports. As Lord PAL is Lord Warden, it may be truly imagined that the Government ciii:Aiilates aay's - electe/C - 15filf, - as Sandwich has a constituency, however small, it is entitled to tl;te•usual speech' front its leading mem ber, who, at all events, must be well as mired that it is not to them alone, but to the country at large, that he speaks, through the newspapers which report him. On the occasion referred to, Lord Rion': touched upon two highly important topics :, the sailing powers of European iron-clads and the efficiency of the American navy: He glanced at our Monitors and ftfteen-inCh bore guns (so much superior to those made by ARMSTRONG and Werrworert), -but his observations principallY referred to the other two subjects. He had the candor to own that, as yet, England and France had Rot been successful in producing iron armored vessels with good seagoing ca pabilities.. The Warrior, the Sovereign, and the Black Prince, each of which had the fairest trial in blue-water, performed much beneath expectation, but better than the great French iron -clads, which cannot use their batteries , except when the sea is illMooth, as they roll dreadfully, even dan gerously, in rough weather, They are unwieldy, they are built on poor models, and they steer badly. A couple of our monitors would dispose of half a dozen <X them, if ever they crossed the Atlantic. The present condition of the United States navy, elicited the highest compli outs from .the Secretary , of the British A.dmiralty. • Ihe fact that in March, 1861, our navy consisted of only forty-six yes- Bele, and that in December, 1864, it con- Slated of 671 vessels, with aggregate ton nage of 510000 tons, and 4,610 gnus, was not ignored-'by Lord CLARBSCR. On the contrary, he - showed himself thoroughly informed on subject, for he remarked • that if our -TWO! 9f Wq had fewer ems than the British navy, they were generally of greater calibre, and placed 'in vessels cdmpetent to take part in warfare, which the unfortunate " wooden walls" are 'unfit for. He submittbd that a gun which could discharge a ball weighing 450 pounds is worth more than six 68-pounders in the British navy. He expressed his, admira tion at the ability and perseverance ex hibited by our Navy Department, whereby, in less than four years, and under circum stances of the Most unusual and embar rassing difficulty, an American navy had been created. Finally, he drew tire de dUction from this creative ability of Ours, significant, also, of vast national resources, that the popular demand by British re formers for a reduction in the naval expenses of England ought not and could not safely be complied with. In a word, he confessed that England had every rea son to be alarmed at the increased and increasing naval power of the United States. Following the Idea of this gentleman, the Day Newt, the fairest and friendliest of the English London journals, devotes dome space to elucidate the difference of cost between the naval expenditure in Eng land and the United States. It "points a moral" from what we haVe done in four years' war—whereby our Admiralty has converted a fourth-class into a first-class naval Power. It says : "The total amount expended in. the fear years is only about fifty-five millions sterling. In the mere maintenance of a fleet actually existing we have in the same period spent about forty-five millions.. Undoubtedly there a lesson in those figures. It may well startle us to find a first-class naval Power Spring into existence at so short a notice, bat It is still more calculated to snake is ponder when we find that its fleet has been built, manned, main tained on a war footing, occupied in blockading a coast as long as that from Gibraltar to the North Cape, employed in the capture of several strongly fortified ports on the enemy's seaboard, and In oar rying on at the same time a war in an Inland navi gation of many thousand miles, and that &ll tidis,. subject to the Immense disadvantage of compulsory haste, of dislocated commerce, and^ depreciated currency, has been done for only ten millions more than our own Admiralty have in the same period spent in keeping up a mere peace establishment."' This is plain speaking. To maintain the British during the last four years, has cost nearly as much as to create the American fleet. In proportion ad.our naval ability is augmented, it is clear that France and Eng land fall off. England has been deposed from the long-boasted sovereignty of the seas, and it requires no prophet to antici pate by what Power the sceptre shall be held. It is well for the world that with our ample means we are neither ambitious nor aggressive. ' A Hisivnioaa.

The Draft Laws, rounded on Reason, to tally Disregarded by the Draft Officials. FACTS, FIGURE'S, ILLUSTRATIONS, AND Eznotrrivr. OffAMBER, lialcatentraa, Jan. 26, 11100. 7',3 the President: SIR : The act of the 3d of March, 1863, commonly called the enrolment mat, provided (sleet-ion 4) that, for the purposes of the act, each Oongrefelortal dis tract of the respective States should form a district. and (section 11) that all persons enrolled should be subject to be called into the military service of the United States, and to continue in service during the present rebellion, not, however, exceeding the term of three years ; and further, (section 12), that in assigning to the districts the number of men to be furnished therefrom, tho President should take into conelderationthe number of volunteers and militia by and from the several States In w hich said dim blots were Situated, and the period of their service since the commencement of the rebellion, and should so make said assignments as to equalise the numbers among the districts of the several States, considering and allowing for the numbers already furnished as aforesaid, and the time of their service. The limo of actual service which by this sot you were directed to consider and allow for, could not., without impracticable labor, (or, indeed, at all), be taxed with exactitude for each Me ttle% but it could easily have been so approximated by avereges that little, If any, , practical Injustice would have been done. The commencement of the third year of the war was Close at hand at the time of thepassage of the act. It would not have been difficult to ascertain of one thousand mon enlisted for three years, what was the average number that remained actu ally In the service at the end of the first-and second years the. and thus the act could have been substantially compiled with. For Instance, suppose it to have been found that of one thousand men enlisted for three years, there remained in the service an average of forty per cent. at the close of the first year, and twenty par cent. at the close of the Second year. The result would have been under the provisions of the act, that' sixteen hundred one-year men would have been taken as the equivalent of one thousand three years men. Unfortunately, the heads of bureaus, to whom the matter seems to have been entrusted, began by falling Into a strange raleeonstruarion of the act. They did in effect Strike from the 12th sem tion the phrases "period of their service" and "time of their service," and - insert In lien thereof the phrase "term of their enlistment," and then pro ceeded to apportion credits by multiplying the num ber of men furalahed from a district by the number of years for which they were enlisted. Calculations • made on this basis were, of Coarse, most extrava gant, and the people ever ywhere felt that somehow Lejustice was being done. In the attempt to soften this, numerous and contradictory orders have bean issued from the Provost Marshal General's office, and long essays by himself and others have bean in vain published to explain and justify their action. In fact as soon as they get beyond the'morally-rair tain limit of the actual service of the man, their calculation has no longer' a practical befits. Its principle, can to a legitimate extreme, would justify the enlistment of one man for 60,000 years, and crediting him as the whole quota of the State, with a email excess. Surely every reasonable man can say for himself whether he has found that get ting one pair of boots for three years is practically equivalent to getting three pairs of boots for one year. The visionary character of the system on which they havii proceeded cannot be better illustrated than by the Jesuit at which they have arrived on the present occasion. The quota:of Penturylvania . on the last call was announced to he 61,700 ; her quota to snake up deficiencies under that call was announced to be 88,990 men. On the 24th inst. It was annonneed - that the quota of the Western dish • tact „had, on revision, been fixed at 22,543, which would make that of the whole State about 44,000 ; and late on the same day it was further announced ' . that the quota of the Western. district was 26,612, and that of 'the whole State -40,883, all t hese changes being caused by no intervening oironm tatiece that raro aware of. In fact, our quota on the last call was filled, and there can be no deficien cy to be now Supplied. Their plan is unjust to the districts and to the Go vernment. It wholly Ignores the losses of men by desertion, sickness, death, and casualties.. The losses from mist of these causes are greater daring the first year of service than afterwards. A town which has furnished three thousand men for one year has probably lost three-fifths of them from these causes before the expiration of the term. An other equal town which has emulated one thousand men for three years, may, Before the expiration of that term, have lost seventeen-twentieths of thdm. The first town will have thus given sixteen hundred mon to the country, the second but eight hundred and laity. There is no equality in this. The ex haustion of the Industrial population of the two towns la in very unequal proportions. As to the Government, the Government has, in the Met case, the actual service during the whole year of fourteen hundred men; in the second ease, the Aetna' ser- Viet, of Bay four hundred men during the whole first dear, of probably not more than two hundred men uring the whole second year, and say one hundred and fifty men at most during the whole third year. Beads& the amount of service that may be re quired promptly is to be considered, and not merely the agreed term of service. At the late storming of Tort Fisher, one at least of the Pennsylvania one year regiments was engaged, and behaved most gallantly. Who -will astY , that if one-third of their number had been enlisted for three years, it would on that account have been able to perform as much service as the whole' number did in that unsurnassed 'exploit ' But there is even more serious error than has been above exposed. The clause of the act of' 3d of 'March, 1803, under which your officers protege to be araing,bas not been intone since the 24th of Februa ry, 1864. Whether induced thereto by the Strange ness of the system which had been adopted under It, or for whatever reasons, Congress thought fit to *pass the act of 24th Februaty,lBa4, (entitled "An Act to amend the Aot of 8d March, 1863,") which provides-(section 2) that the.quota of each ward of a oity, town, &a., shall be, as. nearly as pos alble, in proportion to the num b er of men resident therein liable to render military ear.' vice, taking Into account, as far as practi cable the number which had been previously tar nished therefrom. Thus the former act was amended by giving credits, not-to districts, but to smaller 10. frailties, and by omittingthe provisiOn for consider ing and allowing for 'the time of service - in esti mating oredits ; they were directed in future to be given as far as to actioable on the bards of the num ber of men previously farnfalled, without , reference to the time of service. And this was followed up by the act of 4th July, 1884 (peened at the same ses sion), which provides (section 1) that the President may, at his discretion, call for any number of vo- Junteers for the respective terms of one, two, and three years, with bounties regulated according to their term of enlistment, and (Braaten 2) that in case the quota of any town, &c., shall not be filled within the space of sixty days atter such call, then the President shall immediately order a draft for one Tear, to fill such quota. These are the clauses which now regulate the subject. It is not for me or yon, sir, to discuss the qubstion of their propriety. They are to be obeyed. It would be easy to show that they form a rat ilonable add intelligible system. Formerly, when calls were made of men for military service, they were made by requisition's on the Governors of the. respective States, who then proceeded to draft the ' required number to fill the quota of the State. In this draft, men from any State or locality who had vo luntarily entered the service of the United States, by enlisting in the army or otherwise, were not taken into account. No credits were given for them on the quota, any more that for men who had of their own accord engaged themselves in any lawful employ ment, The system, however, of raising very large bodies saf mon as vo lunteers, nadir the set of tram Kress Of 3861; had -drawn .upon the military popula tion of the respectlve States and localities very heavily, and not quite equably, and, therefore, when the enrolment act of 1888 was passed, it wail thought boat to provide for equalizing the exhaustion, by allowing credits to liMallties for the volunteers furnished by them. Brit the Government had ac cepted volunteers for various terms of servioey and hence the effort to render the equalization more perfect by considering and alto ring for the time of .ttelr service as well as the number of men. 'The 'ants of 1864. above recited, have modified this system by fixing a definite term of scram> (one year) for which men are to be drafted. Yolanteers for not less than that term are to be credited to their locali ties 081 the quota, and receive a Certain bounty from the Government. Such of them as choose to enlist for longer terms receive further bounties from the Government, belt, so far as regards the increased term beyond one year, ate not to be credited on the quota, but are to be left on the same footing that all volunteers were on before the act of 1883. That is to ray, the Government announces that It will take, by its authority, a certain number of man from a locality for military service for one year. That is the lawful demand which it will enforce. It pays bounties in ease of looalltles to facilitate them in complying with this demand without a compulsory draft,. But it has made no demand for men to serve • for two or for tbree,years. The Government receives and pine additional bounties to volunteers for these terms, but, in that, deals with the men only, and, as the increased term of service beyond one year le not agreed to be rendered in compliance with any de mand of the Government, it gtvee the locality no credit on the quota for it. The. Government re quires 100,000 men for One year, not a less .nnother of men for wronger. term. For a- deneteney in the number fit-volunteers for that term it makes a draft for one year. This Is to Jill the quota—not more nor lees ,• when the draft has been • e ff ected the quota is full—therein neither 0308 ES nor deficiency. You see that the system thus established by law is not without foundation in reason, and can bereadliv understbod. Sir; you may not nave been heretofore apprised of the fact that yotir subordinates are wholly diregard- Ina the not of 24th of Febrdary, 1884, They are pro- ceeding in open and direct violation of it, and are thug creating, naturally, great confusion and uncer tainty among the people. They announce on the one hand that although a three-years man counts only as a one year man towards the quota on wraith he volunteers, yet that he shall be counted as three one-year men, towards the quota on a future call. This is directly In the teeth or the law. On the other band, they are cyphering out a deficiency on the last call, by counting three one-year men as only equivalent to one three-years man, which is equally against law. Thus the quota of Pennsylvania, un der the Call of ltith July last, was filled In acoord anoe with the late by men to serve for not lees than one year. The term of service of these men is not yet half expired, and yet your subordinates are threatening a draft to it an alleged detector:my on that very call, thaexistenee of which they strait:let to make out by persisting la their unlawiti and no m:thaw:alai theories and calculations. Our people know that the Government requires more men. %bee are willing to furnish them— heavy as the Kaden has become on the induetriel population. Let the requirement be made in the clear and definite shape which the law provides for, and, it will be °heartens , compiled with. Bat it is hardly to be tolerated that your subordinates Should be permitted longer to pursue the system of fintrti , tuting, for the law, an eccentric plan or teir own. Sir, on behalf of the freemen of this Common wealth, who have 'always given a cheerful and hearty rapport to your Government in the prosecu tion of this war—it is my duly to insist and I do in sist—that you enforce upon your subordinates that obedience to the law which yon owe, as well se they and all of us. It is de evil example, It tends to en feeble—nay to destroy—the jot power of the Go vernrcent, that you' should suffer your officers to treat with open oontrempt any acts of Oongrees, and especially those which you have yourself approved, and which regulate spatter of such deep and deli cate moment as the enforcing a draft for the military service. Belying heartily on your erfsdena and justice to sat Meths what has thus been going wrong, and to compel henceforth on the part of ail a pro- per respect for and obedience to the laws of the land, I am sir, very respeotfully, A.

ARGU MENTS FARRELL AND WARD'S PRIZE-FIGHT. FIL.REELL THE VICTOR IS POBTY- FIVE BOUNDS. , (Bpretel Report for The Frees.) The tight between Farrell and Ward, both *l' the Hibernia Engine Company, for 414,000, which , has been under way since January 12th, came off on Thursday, near Claymont Station, en the Penn sylvania and Delaware line Hundreds went from this city, as well as a large delegation , from New York. Every means of locomotion was made avail able to'resolt the destined spot, and about" 7 30 A. M. On Thursday, some one thousand or twelve hundred persons bad assembled about one thousand yards north of the Philadelphia and Wilmington railroad near the Claymont Station. At thisdtme the ring had not been pitched, but was in progress. The ground was bound in Jack Frost's iron grasp, and crowbars tailed to make much _progress on the ice. bound earth. At about 8.20 the ring was com pleted ; but still precious time was wasted, and no attempt was made to bring the men into the rho . , although both - were present in carriages, and had been on the ground for upwards of an hour. At 8.50, Ward advanced to the *math side of the ring, and made two attempts to shy his head covering into the ring, and It fell to the right on both attempts. He crossed the ropes, and his cap was oast after him. A groan of horror issued from the bosoms of some of hie friends, who' were super atitionely impressed with the conviction of the cap falling astray being an omen of the worst kind, and totally averse to all prospects_ of his victory. The prclLminartes of choosing a referee were soon got aver, and Johnny Lazarus (brother of the murdered Harry }.wasappointed referee. Farrell won the c twice of corners, and this selection placed Ward' In the south corner : where the sun shone in hil face. They speedily disrobed. Ward dressed in green drawers, and showed a form of strength and compactness, with muscular calves on his legs, and breast and arms moulded like a perfect Hercules. Farrell ass more modestly attired in white•drawers bound with green. Hie form was not or the same enlarged develop ment, but his breast and arms were good, and his legs were well developed, though rather twisted into the style of a man's who had spent much of his time In the saddle In early day. Farrell was molted by the celebrated light-weight pugilist Johnny hi. Glade, and a friend. Ward had as his attendants Jemmy Wade and a Brooklynite. The principals and seconds met at the soratott;and all shook hands, when they retired to their rasped tire corners, and on Lazarus calling time the men rose from the knees of their seconds, and advanced to the scratch for Round I —Both wore looks of conadenee, and ad vanced towards mum other with smiled awe their teases. Ward stood with his let foot well advanced,. with a light, springy pregame noon the snow-covered sod: isle hit arm was also nearly atrittglit oat, bat his right hand was held close under the chin, and the arm close to the breast. Farrell held his right hand slightly sort es and low on the breast, some Sear or dye caches away, and hie left_was pat out at an-angle of forty-fi ra from the elbow. and had a dangerous play with it. They did not lose much time, bat, with a few Pilots. gut within reach, and Farrell landed his left on Ward's left eye, and Ward countered on tee nose, both break ing away. They agate approached, and on getting with in reach, slight eschances took place, without mash damage, and, closing. Farrell was throws, with ou t mock injury. Farrell showed a litt:e blood on the side of his mdse before the round was ended. Both men were cheered by their Mends. Round 2 —Ward advanced with caution. as did hie opponent, end both inetatued his man, aad seemed to be taking stock, and watching an openiag at the same time; Farrell at length darted out his left on Ward's left eye. and also landed his right on the jaw, while Ward got in one two on the ribs; they broke away, and on getting together Farrell again planted We left straight from the shonlihr.'em Ward's air e xdy damaged one, while Ward administers.: a (egret drawer on , Far• relt s rather prominent nose, and closing, thre w Far rell without much Sri WT.

Ward showed the Marks of his opponent's work, the left eye being in deep Mental's g aria giving notice of "early Meiling." while Farrell waannharmed, except airtight trickling of blood from the nose. Par rell took toe Initiative, and pat in right and left on the right ere and on the month, drawing blood with a oat on the eye, and swelling on the slabs aide of the lip. which Wed hotly. Ward fought for the body, where he. administered some severe dotes. They made a break. but at it again, with exchanges in raver of Far rell, wbo pat in his' left and right straight on the feca, and cutting at nearly every blow,they fell side by die Round 4 —Farrell landed his right' on the dam teed eye, and administered a telling blow with the left on the right temple, while 'Ward was abort; Farrell's visitations to Ward's eye were fast "closing the con cern," wade he was comparatively unharmed, except on the prominent feature of his face, which trickled blood, and showed a little red on its prominent bridge. This was s rattling round. mach in Farrell's favor, though he we thrown, bat with no damage. From this time the fight was In favor of Farrell, Who administered telling punishment, with no ap parent Metal harts to his own mug. Ward generally threw Ewell, although, on one or two occasions, Farrell gave Ward the show for his bed. About the thirty-fourth round Farrell showed signs of distress; his lips and chin quivering as if from cold, and displaying signs of weakness. Ward, on the contrary, although bleeding from every part of his face, met his man most bravely, and fought him Farrell '* own corner, forcing him down time after time. Ward never shirked, and scarcely tried to stop a blow, seeming inclined to depend upon a chance blow to turn the battle and knock his oppo nent cut of time. As round after round succeeded each other, It was evident both the brave Ward's eyes were closing, while nothing but a shivering weakness showed upon Farrell. Ward had been cautioned with re• gard to kitting foul. He rushed the fighting each time, Farrell getting down in his own corner at each successive round and rush of his opponent. The forty-firth round was a rush by Ward at Ear roil in his corner, 'who speedily got down, and a claim of foal was made to the referee, who, on advancing to the corner of Ward, said he had before cautioned him, and he must, decide that Farrell had won the fight, Ward having administered the blow while Farrell was on the ground. Ward would not hear of It, and said he could whip his man if his right eye would only kee open ten minutes. The referee's fiat was given, and the ring was soon filled. In about a minute or two after all was over an alarm was given that the mili tary were at hand, and every one was on the scam per. Scattering shots were soon heard, and the whistling of the deadly leaden missiles were soon distinctly heard. numbers made their escape, but some 250 were ke pt Within the enclosure by the bayonets of the United States regulars, who seemed to relish the...ides of shooting a few of their prisoners. All were ordered to fall into line,and the prisoners were marched to the Claymont Station. The prisoners took every opportunity of escaping, and by the time the train arrived at Wilmington there were not more than sixty, and some of those afterwards escaped. The party were marched through the streets like a drove of sheep, and placed under guard, in an empty building of the most luny desoription— dada. „OW. h9ure detention the party was marched to the City Hall,"Whefir they were kept standing for nearly an hour, to the de light of the gaping citizens. • Al) were ultimately turned over to the Mayor, who, on Friday,. dis. charged the whole lot, with the exception of the unfortunate loser, Ward, who was bound over, to answer.
