Winniam Brow t extra . | Nicholasville, delivered at Frankfort, Ky. on | bY | ; rious | 1a in every dircetion, it is reasonable to pre- | qhentic oriy the 20th inst, in regard to the Tami: Convention, wherein he gives some facts concerning the inside proceedings of t body in relation to the proposed nomina. tion of Judge Ciiasé. From Col, Buown’s statements it would appear that Gov, Skymoun was pledged to the Chief Justice, aud had a specch prepared for delivery on secondiag his nomination, he having dec 1 to primarily present: his name on the ground that he was the presid ing officer of the Convention. According to Col. Brown's assertions, the New York dele. gation had agreed to go for Cirssr, and flood committed to him up to the very mory ing of the day w! vur's name was sprung upon the Convention, Tt must be admitted that many things oc curred in the course of the proceedings of the | Convention, and that much was sad, just pre- vious to ite assembling and during ite tersions, calculated to give an air of truthfulness to the extraordinary declarations of Col. Buown. | At all events, he assumes to state fucts with such particularity, and relates so many inci dente which involve prominent actors in the Conyention, that he can be casily eoutradictod if he is in error. If we are to credit his statements, they far- nish a clue for interpreting: what Gov, Sry. MOUR meant when he repeatedly declared, with so much emphasis, that bis honor would not permit hima to take the nomination, Un leas some of the disting od gentlemen to whom Col, Brown refers shall explain or deny h’s declarations, the pablic will be likely to reevive them as tru It would relieve th public mind if Judge Ciass and Goy, Sry. NOUR would cach give his version of this not unimportant and very singular matter, — AInd the Sheriff's Officers a Right to do the Shooting at the roadway Theatre ¢ ft is the dut sheriff or other offi cor to whom process is delivered the same according to the command thereof, Buch was the duty of the shoritf at Jaw in England, aud} seribed by statute. And for any violation of tis obligation the statute makes the sheriff or other officer liable to an action at the suit ofe common of any party aggrieved for the damages sus- | tained by him, in addition to any fine or pun ishment which the law may euthorive to be fuflicted upon hii. Process may be served and an arrest may be made at any time during the day or night. Ample authority is couforred upon the sheriff to execute process, ‘Thus it is provi ded by the Revised Statutes that whenever a sheriff or other public officer, authorized to execute any proeces delivered to him, shall find, or thall have reason to apprehend, that resistance will be made to the execution of buch process, he shall be authorized to com mand every male inhabitant of his county, or as many ashe shell think proper, and with such arms as he shall dircet, and every utd tary company, or all the military companies in his county, armed and equipped, to assist him in overcoming such resistance, and, if Lecessary, in seizing, arresting, and confining the resisters, their alders and abettors, to Le dealt with according to law, It appears that Deputy Sheriff Hickey had received an order, granted out of the Supreme | Court, by Judge Barnard, for the arrest of Mr. D.H. Harking. It docs not appear that ny FeawoN to Appr the Deputy Sheriff had any hend resistance on the part of Mr. Harkins, or by his friends in bis behalf, No cause is made apparent why he should have taken with him a company of special deputies— about a doven armed men, as |e stated by Mr. Stephen Wilson, the night watchman, who was shot—to aid in the arrest, There not only is no reason, 60 far as the evidence has Deen developed, why he should have taken these armed men with him, but there does Bot seem to have been the elightest occasion | for the Deputy Sheriff himself to go armed. An arrest isa very simple matter, If the officer puts his hands upon the party, saylug that he arrests him, it is suflleient, A regular officer, acting within his proper district, Is not bound to exhibit h's authority when he arrests an offender, though it may be demanded ; but a special deputy must do 80 in such case, and if he refuses, the party may resist; and the warrant, under such cir cumstances, will be no protectiqn to such special deputy against an action for assault and battery and false imprisonment, But whoever makes the arrest, whether a regular officer or a special deputy, the party arrested ought, in some way, to be notified of the M=Fngtish Opera Boutte | to exveute | thik State it is pre. | his has long been the established law, and has been #o held by elementary writers and by the courts, Tt eeema that Deputy Sheriff Mickey, ac | companied by a riotous party, foreed his way i the Broadway Theatre without declar. ing to any one the object of his visit, If this | is 80, wo do not see how he occupied a differ ent position, fa the eye of the Taw, from that | of any other intruder, As long o# Lis pur pose was not deelared or made known, the pereons in charge of the theatre had the same right to eject him and his companions that they would have had to eject any riotous | party who should have broken in. It is in the lawful execution of process that | a sheriff or other vificer has the right to summon to his aid, if need be, the posse com itatua, or power of the county; he ia not | permitted to do itin a ruffian onslaught | on innocent men and women, against whom he has no process, and meroly Weenuse he happens to be an oilicer. Iie being an ofll- cer is no protection whatever to hia in sueh 8 proceeding. If the occurrences nt the Tron tre on Monday evening: are corr i od-and we every reason to believe that they are—an assaull was committed by Depu ty Sheriff Hickey and his party of a erimi- nal and very heinous character, It seems to | have been, as the efreumstances are related, | of the ame degree of guilt as if it had bee perpetrated by persons none of whom pos foaed any official charseter. An officer has no more authority or right to arm himself with aaixshooter and walk into a theatre | and proceed to discharge the weapon into the midst of an une | any man who is not an officer, | It was an aseault seemingly without just! | fleation or npologry ; and it inust be taken to hove been an arsault with intent to kill; for the Jaw presumes a man to have in contem | plation the inevitable or naturel consequen- | con of his wilful aud deliberate acts. And when several mon, armod with revolvers, go into a crowded theatre and commonce sloot- Away Thea- etly report: ending crowd, than has sume that they mean to hill some one. It | matters not whether the malice, which the Jaw implies under # against any one in parGcular, or against man kind in general: in @ cave like this, it is | presumed to De against whomscever the | shooters might happen to hit, Tho punishment provided by statute in this State for shooting at any person with intent to kill or main is imprisonment in a Stete prison for a term not more than ten | years, ‘The arrest of Mr. Harkins at the theatre, in the middle of a performance in which he wan a leading actor, if it had been ae complished in on unobtrusive and orderly manner, Would have been an oppressive ex- | ercine of authority on the part of the officer, doserving of severe censure, Why wes not the arrest mace atan cartier hour? To be bure, there is power under the Jaw to arrest | at any hour of the night; but it is only une \ dor circumstances of necessity that such a | practice is to be looked upon with fave Th mm see the Jaw faithfully administered in’ this cus Oppression and outrage under pre tence of authority—under color of law— have become alarmingly common, ‘She punishment of the offeaders in the present ret, | instance would have a ealutary ef \ —— | William Wickham for Governor, Ifthe Democrats are determined to take up | a new man as their date for Governor | this fall, they cannot make a better select | (han Witnoas Wiekiias, of Builolk county Mr. Wickham is @ sian of fine wbilit and of thoroughly established intogrity of character, He is aman of the people.
