Tun Pampered Tools op Dsspare and Tyrants—Personal, Liberty Out raged and Freedom op Speech Sup- 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. • In Banki uft6Y.—Dr. Samuel Bard, we understand, has filed his petition ip bankruptcy, placing his liabilities at $38,- . 000.

One day this week he received a letter paving the way to its purchase by the writer of the afore said letter. In referring to the value of the land, the Haralson man wrote: “ the timber is worth more than the land, and the timber is not worth anything in this country.” A question .of morals arises. Can the owner of this land sell and re ceive pay for it, because of its want of value? Question in mathematics: If the lot is worth anything, how much is it worth ?
