The sight of a colored man in a blue coat, brass buttons and the other regalia of a policeman, with a prisoner in charge, al- tracted a large crowd of followers. Police- man Baine, doubting the authority of the colored policeman. took both in charge. At the station-house Policeman Copeland rather marnd the dignity of the coart by instruct- ing Squire Fariow how to proceed with the ase, and seemed offended when he was in- formed that his instructions were not needed, nd that the next time he wanted an arres! made in Baltimore he should cail a city po- Liceman. A few moments after leaving the station he was brought back on a charge of | disorderly conduct on the street by drawing | ‘! a large crowd about bim and explaining them in Joud and violent terms the defects of the Baltimore police system, which has no golored policemen. Lieut.’ Auld, after giv Copeland some good alvice in regard to the difference between a Washington po- Heeman and a Baltimore policeman, dis- missed the charge against him. Major Richards, of the Metropolitan police force, states that there is no colored police- man in this elty of the name above printed, and denounces him as an impostor.
