W. Barkley. of the 6th precinct, arresiea Gideon L. Walker, a lawyer, for driving over the pavement. Mr. Walker tough. the arrest was not lawful, as the officer did, ot first serve a warrant upon hbim,and then made some little objection to accompanying the officer to the station hoase. Be finally went. aud upon arriving at the station house retused to give nis name to the officer on duty there, who acts in the capactt; of clerk. ‘The clerk then proceeded to search Mr. Wulker, and took from him his watch, pocket-book, jack-knife, &c., as is the custom ‘with all prisoners, tne articles being eafely de- livered to the individual from whom they are taken after they shall bave bad their hearing before the justice, and have been dismissed. Mr. Walker was then locked up in the cell, and Alleges that when his son came to see him the officers would not admit him; and farther, tbat ‘bey would nor allow him’ any supper He stata in the cell until morping, woen he was taken before Justice Thompson, and waived the hearing until 4 o'clock yester- day evening, when he appeared. and pro. ceeded to argue bis case, stating that an officer could notarresthim for violating a corporstion ordinance without a warrant, a from the statutes to sustain pis He then read sre‘loms 1! and 12 ge US of the corporation laws, witch enact that for driviog over the pavement fine of $2 sball be imposed, to be cotlected as other corporation fines are, which lawfully are collected only by the process of a warrant. All the law in the world that permitted a policeman to arrest apy jan, without a warrant, w: when there was @ conspiracy being developed ora larceny being committed. When he came t> the station house, one of the officer diveated him of all the property then upou his person, This be denounced as nothing more than Dighwsy robbery. He cared nothing about the fine. but for haying been arrested, and tha’, as he considered, in an unlawful manner, with- ont having a warrant served npon him Mr. G. W. Barkley, the officer making the ar- rest, WAS eWOTN And testified that he made the arrestot Mr. Welker at the intersection of Massachusetts A venue and 6h street: that Bir ‘Walker drove over the pavement at the cor- ner Mr Thos C. Kelley, police officer, testitied that he was with the officer making tbe arrest; that he (Mr. Karkeley) stepped up to Mr. Walker and told bim that he would have to go down to the station-house with bim fora vi- lation of a Corporation ordinance. Mr. Walker said that he bad no authority to arrest him without a warrant. and he would not go without being compelled, Some further conversation passed between the officer and Mr. Walker, which finally resulted in hix ac- companying the officer to the station-honse. He wished first to be allowed to go home aud get his supper, but the officer said no: he could go to the station-house in twenty minutes, and conid get off by leaving collateral security. ‘The Court stated be bad had some conversa- tion with Major Richards in relation to .bis ease, and bad paid much attention thereto. He dittered trom Mr. Walker in tne opinion that officers making arrests bad first to havea war- tant. He alluded fo the fact that in the case of fast driving the officers were obliged to make arrests upon the spot, for the satety of the public. He farther stated that Major Richards was of the opinion that in cases where the parties were known. the officers should take out a warrant and make the arrest on the fol- jowing day: but where the parties are strangers itis proper and correct that the arrest should be made at the time the violation of the law is committed. In this opinion the Court would concur. “When President Lincoln (sald he) ‘was himself arrested for this very same offense, he said to the officer, who at the time made an appropriate apology, you have done right, my friend.” The Court stated that he woull be giad to entertain Mr. Walker if be would Teduce bis points to writing, and he would then submit them to Mujer Kichards and Dir. Webb. To this Mr Walker assented, and agreed to present bis argument, reduced to writing. to-day. In the course of Mr. Walker's remarks, when be interrupted the court, he stated that it was bis intenuon to take tbe case before the court, but the fine imposed being less than $3, he could not, aud therefore wished to admit that he had committed the same offence before, and asked that the justice make the fine #6, which he refused to do. He turther stated that he would have one officer arrested for false 1mprisonment, and the other for high- ‘way robbery. and eject them from their posi- uons, if possibl ——_-—__ ROvGH TREATMENT OF PaSSENOERS.—A gentleman holaing a responsible position under ne Government here, informs us that himself and two other ac emen, a= business ja Julpeper, Virginia, a few days sines, an Gem there on the Orange and Alexandria railroad. They cencluded their business late in the evening, and ss it was necessary for them to return to this city by the tram which left Qulpeper at 3 o'clock a. m.. and they did not wish to distarb the families of any friends by claiming thelr hospitality for a tew hours in the nigbt, they proceeded to the waiting room at the station, supposing they could «wuiv? there until the arrival of the train. ‘This ressonable expectation was groundless, it appears, for they were rudely red out of the room, snd an explanation of their position did not have any effect on the official in charge of the station, who peremptorily insisted upon their leaving. In consequence of this very unaccommodating procedure they were com- pelled to pass the night, until the train arrived, onthe platiorm outside. We trust the manage- ment will see to it that passengers on their road bave the same Accommodations that are afforded to travellers on other rontes, amon; which may reasonablv be reckoned the privi- lege of waiting few hours inside the station foratraim.

The Nationals at Chicago. ‘The Chicago Times of Monday says On Saturday, 8t Dexter Park, the great match game of base ball between the National Clad, of Washington, and the Excelsior Club. of Chicago, was played, constituting the feature of the Third day of the base bal! tournament. The Excelsiors sustained a crushing defeat, only scoring 4 runs to the Nationals’ 49. This Teeult was, of course, unexpected, and would nevet have been achieved but for the incom- Petency of a few of the aeegeey mine; the pitching in particular affording the athletes of the Nat AG opportunities for knocking the jn all directions. It was to thi the large score of the Nationals is pitching of the Excel- ag that of the Forest City siors been as Club, the resnit would have been different. The game was an plots oO} reps aia the people of the West witness such a fine il- Tustration Of the national game, and it will be long ere such an opportunity will be afforded them aga. Both clabse were in excellent con- ditien, although the tour of the Nationals af forded them a more thorough practice. The exhibition made by the Nationals on Thursday misled many asto their real th. The de- feat wi ey received from the Forest City Club ca any to regard their defeatas a thin; Excelsiors. How mistaken was thisepinion the result of yesterday evidences. The success—muacle. Tey ate 3) not the strength of arm whic! Excelsiors Incwed the great essential of . They have thelr opponents bave. The Nationals are athletes, robust, and sturdy, whom no exertion tires, and who at the bat are terrific. Their exhibition of bat- ting capabilities yesterday was splendid, and the manner in which they punished their op- ponents’ pitcbDing was marvelour. Nearly every bit sent the ball outside the line of bases into the fields, and thus enabled them without difficul'y to secure bases. in the field, also, they performed wonders. Almost all the hits of the Excelstors went tn the direction of shor-- stop. aud so well were they bandied that inva- ably the striker was cut off on the first base. ‘The sky balls of their opponents were also neatly held, and several of the most difficuit catches evermade were accomplished by the Nationals. With the Excelsiors i' was vastly different. Their batting was miserable. But two or three hits went outside the base line. Their felding, with exceptions, was nearly bad. Several’ spent sky balls were muffed. Second bare was inadequate to the occasion. Left fleld was maffined wretchedly. Shor top ‘Was played very poorly. But the great defect wasn the pitching. McNally neither watch. ed the bases nor pitched with sufficient velocity And precision. This wasnot hisfault It was his want of ability, not his non-exercise, which enabled the Nationals to strike so well and tally so eastly. His want of precision also enabled them’ to steal bases on passed balle: for in many instances. despite the efforts of omnipresent Stearns, he was unable to atop McNally’s wild pitches. The experiénce of Rinksley as pitcher was also very bad. The change was at the critical point of the game, and should pever have been made Notwith- standing McNally’s inability, it was evident his pitching would never have yielded the Nationals a score of 2i in asingle innings, as Blakeley’s did. The deteat of the Excels:ors was a cruebing one, and excepting the marked deteat of the Pecatonica Club, at Bloomington, is witbout a precedent. They were thoroughly whiewnshed. The attendance was the largest ever witnessed ata base ball match ia Ohicago. At least 10,000 persons were on the grounds, brought there in every conceivable species of vehicles. Express wagons, drays, and the horse and steam cars were used by the «lower crust.” while the “nobby,” the Wealthy, and all that could afford it arrived fh vehicles more showy and more expensive. As early as 1 o'clock the crowd began to arrive, and until far in the afternoon an uninterrupted lime of vehicles poured in at the gates. while every few minotes trains of hundreds streamed up to theentrance of the park. Inside there was extreme difficulty in assigning places for the vehicles, but this was at length obviated, and @ cordon of carriages and buggies was drawn up ina circle around the groand. The num- ber of ladies present was complimentary to the game and the occasion. In many of the ele- gant baronches and Clarendons on the ground might be obrerved many ladies of the fon, with handsome and prepotsessing cavaliers in attendance. The statement of many that the National Club scught a defeat from the Forest City Club is absurd. The National is one of the most respectable clubs tm the country, its members are beyond all mercenary considera- tions, and the statements that they threw the gsme on Thursday are absurd. They ac- knowledge a fair defeat. and the many who witnessed the game wil! attest the same. The truth of their defeat on that oecasion is that they were physically “played out” by the maby games eisew here, and the traveling done on their tour. They all attribute their defeat in @ great meaenre to the splendid pitching of Spaulding. of the Forest City Club. ‘The Republican says : Of the general playing of the Nationals we can spexk in only the highest terms. A better exhibition of the skill and beauties of the game thafl that given by them bas never been rei Ali their movements were prompt and rapi and made with admiraole judgment. Their drill seemed perfect, und their action, directed by Fox, was in complete obedience to order. Every man knew kis position, and there was he impediug of play one by the other. With these genersl remarks it may seem superfluous to speak of individuals, and yet we cannot re- frain from so doing. Parker is a strong bat- ter, and at the secoud base played admirably. ‘Williams. the pitcher, far surpassed the work done by him on Thursday, and proved him. self worthy ot the national reputation he has earneo. He isa very strong batter,an excellent and swift thrower. and a fair runner. Wright is @ Most accurate and strong batter, a good runner, and asplendid thrower. In his posi- Non > @ short stop he on Saturday played in manner that defied competition. Robinson made a prompt and reliable fielder, and was strong at the bat. Fox proved a fine baseman, both in catching and throwing. He is active and reliable in the field, and at the bat very powerfal, though not so reliable as Wright or Studley. Fletcher, on the first base. played ‘with remarkable promptness and skill, « mat- fling” only one ball during the game. He is & good batter. Norton proved himeelf a splen- did catcher. {t would be hard to find bis equal. He threw swittly and true to the bases, and made a fair batter. Studley made a powerful and reliable band at the bat; was agile and promptin the field, and a good runner. Ber- throng, a8 4 general player, ranks among the best in the country. He is certain in the field, coveling an Opportunity to catch a tly, and never missing; & good thrower; a strong one atthe bat; and asa@runner of the bases un- surpassed. The game they all plaved Saturday at the bat and in the ‘field was vastly sup rior to their play of Thursday. This is to be attributed to severa] causes—the day was more tavora- ble, the grounds in better condition, the piteh- ing of their opponents was much weaker, and they wanted to win. i RETERN OF THE NaTIoNALS.—The National base ball club of this city which has played £0 many successful games in the West, losing “only one” ip their entire tour returned to the city yesterday evening by the 6 e’clock train. Thebase bali fraternity turned outen masse to welcome them home.

SUPERINTENDENT OF SEWERS.—In view of the fact that the bill of the last council for the establishment of the office of superintendent and inepector of sewers, carriage. ways, foot- ways, and new buildings, has created an ani- mated discussion in the present Council, we republish the following act ot Congress, ap- roved May 5th, 1864; which may have some bearing on the subject discassed : AN acT to amend An act to incorporate the inhabitants of the city of Washington,” sed May 15, 1820. je it enacted, dc, That the first paragraph of section eight of «An act to incorporate the ix abitante of the city of Washington,” passed May 15, 1620, be amended s0 as to read as fol lows: That the said corporation shall ha: full power and authority to lay taxes on par- ticnlar wards, parte, or sections of the city, for their particular local improvements, and to cause the curbstones to be set, the foot and carrit ays to be graded and paved, or so much thereof as they may deem best, and the necessary sewerage and drainage facilities to be introduced under and upon the whole or any portion of any avenue, street or alley, and also to cause the same to be suitably paved and repaired. and to beat all times properly cleaned and watered, and also to cause lamps to be erected therein, and to light the same, and to pay the cost thereof out of the funds of the ward in which such improvement shall be made; this provision not to be construed as repealing, but being intended as auxiliary to the power they already Possess to make local improvements on theapp! ication of the owners of property benefited thereby. c.2.

This cbange bas been rendered necessary in conse- quence of the increase of business in the money order departme at, which now requires &n enlargement of roon to enable the duties thereof to be conducted with facility and a curacy. Mention was made of the continger- cy Which required this change some months Past, when apt. Olmstead forth with eet about planni.g the improvements himself. The ex- tensive hallin the north centre wing of the Post Office building, immediately over the City Post Office. was chosen as the most suit- able place fer the dend letter department. and much pains and expense have been taken to adapt it for the work which is tobe done therein. The hall has a height of about thirty feet, and is overspread with a beautiful sky. light of variegated glase,besides having a suffi- cient number of windows to give ample light throughout its dimensions. In the centre of this halla gallery bas been erected, supported by handsome tron gilt pillars, with a circular stair-case of iron leading to sthe main floor. The first floor will be used by the clerks in opening the dead letters, by whom they are examined, and all which are of suffi- cient importance to be sent back to the parties to whom they are ad#reseed, are then referred to the lady clerks, fifty-five in number, who areranged along the gallery above. By an impreved contrivance, the dead letters are transferred from the city post office to the cead letter departmeat on a dumb waiter, which affords greater safety and expedition of delivery than bas heretofore been enjoyed. The whole arrangement is complete aud hand- somely executed according to plans furnished by Captain Olmstead. Adjoining the Indies’ gallery are dressing-rooms. &c., which add comfort and convenience, which are pecu- liarly desirable, but were never heratotore enjoyed to a proper degree. —_—-__ RECOVERY OF A STOLEN HORSE —The Bal- limore Gazette of this morning siys:—About four weeks ago, Mr. N.

The dry goods market is very favorable for | purchasers ; the supply of seasouable coodsis | large, and prices still remain atthe summer depression. The early fall trade, which usuatiy begins in the la.ter part of July, is not yet per- | cepubly felt; but When it comes along, aa it | | certainly must come soon, it will doubtless caune prices to etiffen up. ‘The first come wiil be the best served. Manufacturers keep their agents well eupplied, and this supply keeps prices from rising. In imported goods there is but little doing. Importations have berun to increace, but they are still along way behind the importations of I=66; and vet tere is a | larger m7rket for goods this year than there | was the last. We nave added three hundred thousand consumers to our population by 1m- migration alone, while the South ard South. west are ina greatly improved condition. 80 far as their ability to pay for dry goods goes Very little change in the scale of prices since last week ts be reported. Some styles of heavy domertics have inclined s trifle. but the sum | mer market is eseenually the same. The promise of an active demand for brown shirting and sheetings early in the month has not yet been fully justified by events. Jobbers | are beginning to lay in their supplies of bleached goods, and the demand for the better | qualities has ‘somewhat increased withou' sensibly aflecting prices. An improved de mand bas been shown for stripes and ticks, but denims and cottunades are not in request. | An attempt to force sales would necessilate a | reduction of prices. | Failetyles of dark prints have been offered | by agenis. and thestock 18 quite laree, al- though the demand has not yer been sufficient to bring out full lines of the choicest patterns Prices are weil sustained. \ For roiled jaconets and cambrics the demand has been something better. In de laines there | is not mucb doing: the seazen is too early for fall styles, but they are already in the hands Of agents, and will be produced in fall lines next month. Fancy cassimeres and satine:s are in better demand, and prices are firm with. outany advance. Fiannels and blackers are more inquired for as the season advances. The market fer foreign goods is quiet: but there Js no mdication of a decline In prices, especially in seasonable goods, which are firm. ly held ‘by importers. There have been no new failures reported during the week. and the eftect which was produced lately by the failure ot two large importing houses of Rritish and Germa: foods has about worn off.
