EBEStJED.—A few <lnys ago, while Mr.
Andrew Merritt, Tax Collector of White
county, was on his way to this city to
make return and settlement with the
Comptroller General, he was arrested
near Gainesville, Ga., by Lieutenant
Taylor, in charge of a squad of United
States soldiers. He demanded the au
thority of this unwarranted proceeding,
but they were unablo to produce any
warrant, and failed to give any satisfac
tory reason for his arrest.
Mr. M. R. Palmer, a leading lawyer of
Cleveland, who has, in many in
stances, generously volunteered his
counsel and assistance to his
fellow-citizens in similar circumstan
ces, immediately hastened to Mr. Mer
ritt’s relief. He was permitted to have
no communication with Mr. Merritt, ex
cept in the hearing of a guard. Unable
•' to Tender any. assistance, he was about to
return, when he was requested to remain
* until the principal officer in command,
who was then absent, should teturn to
camp. He did so, and, when the officer
' returned. Mr. Palmer was arrested, with-
•out warrant or affidavit. He protested
against such lawlessness and outrage on
his personal liberty, but in vai n. He was
; denied-the privilege of bail, habeas cor
pus or the benefit of cqunsel. Mr. Berry
Hicks, of White c,/uut_ , w u also
arrested, and tho party of three
driven, like felons, to the train . at
Gainesville, and, under a strong guard,
transported to this city. Leaching the
t passenger depot' they were placed in
ambtilauce tuid carried’fb the office of
the United -States Marshal, amid the
-hoots and yells of savage negroes, who
called them Ku-klux. Here Mr. Palmer
requested to see Capt. Harry Jackson as
. counsel, but was fefuscdj and not allowed
to see or hold conversation wit’-, any one
* whatever.
After remaining ri^re a\yl$Q, ibcke$ up
* closely in a room, they were 1 informed
that Ahoy had been discharged, and with
ont any apology, without h word of ex
planation, and. without any provision ‘for
returningIrothd, were * dismissed friend
less and alon$.
... Palmer frequently demanded: the
an: nority,- for the warrant ancf affidavit
for his arrest, but was never
After lio was discharged, he called
Judge Pope, United States Dis-.
trict Attorney’, who. has been absent
from the city during these arrests, and
was astounded at such unheard of pro
ceedings, and expressed his intention of
making a close investigation' of the
. matter. ... ■ 1C
It is. believed that Mr. Palmer was ar
rested to deprive Mr. Merritt of lijs legal
assistance. It* is further believed that
the arrests were made on the affidavit of
a disreputable old negro wench, who has
been a pest to that vicinity for years.
The prisoners were very kindly treated
- by the guard until they reached the train
at Gainesville, where their kindness was
somewhat relaxed.
These high-handed proceedings appear
to have the sanction of the Government
officials, except Judge Pope, who hrn
been absent for a time past, but w.e are
glad to know .that he condemns such law
lessness, an 6 will investigate, expose, and
- condemn it-.s it deserves.

to its purchase by the writer of the afore

the land, the Haralson man wrote: “ the
timber is worth more than the land, and
the timber is not worth anything in this

Can the owner of this land sell and re

As indicating the character of the de
bate, the fdllowihg from Logan is tele
graphed:- Logan said it seemed to be as
sumed by certain J Senators that all who
supported Trumbull’s proposition, were
trying to injure the administration. He
had no sucli desire; yet, he had voted for
that proposition and would do so again,
because he believed it to be a proper and
wise measure. He understood that he
was not in good standing with a certain
set of nien, who assumed to control and
guide the party; but it mattered
little Tto—lrim. whether he was or
not: He was responsible to his
constituents-, and to nobody else. Those
men affected to be the champions of the
President; but if he, (Logunj, were
just, and they attempted' td aid him in
the same way, lie-tfould think it-wise to
get rid of their assistance as soon as pos
sible. -Itwas almost impossible to act
an independent part in the Senate now.
These three or iour men, perhaps live,-
who^'iiridertake to manage the'-party,
call a caucus on any man who is
disposed to be independent,
and threaten to read him (out.
For one, he would act up to his convic
tions and run the risk of being read out-.
“I don’t believe,” saidLogan, “that the
•President of tho United States fears 'in

try believe he does. Tdori’t believe that
the Treasurer fears investigation,
but you have made' the Country be
