the Northern press. A conspicuous instance of this was the story that the assasination of the President-elect as he passed through Baltimore was contemplated. There never was the slightest foundation for any such report, and yet Mr. Lincoln gave credence to it. It was publicly announced that Mr. Lincoln in going to Washington for his inauguration would go from Philadelphia to Harrisburg and thence to Baltimore by the Northern Central. The day fixed for his arrival in this city was Saturday, February 23, at 11:30 A. M. Lincoln's trip to Washington. Mayor Brown was at Calvert Station, accompanied by the Police Commissioners and a strong force of policemen, at the appointed hour to meet Mr. Lincoln. The Mayor had a carriage in waiting in which, as he said, he was to have the honor of escorting Mr. Lincoln through the city to the Washington Station and of sharing in any danger which he might encounter. It is hardly necessary to say I apprehended none, Judge Brown continues in h

eleven companies of the Massachusetts troops arrived in cars, the windows of the last car being badly broken. Thinking that the danger was over, the Mayor and Police Commissioner John W. Davis were about to leave, when news came of the collision on the march. The Mayor hurried toward President Street Station, and when he reached Pratt street bridge he met the battalion of four companies of troops running toward him. In his account of the events of the day, narrated in a volume published in 1887, from which and from the columns of The Sun this article is compiled, Judge Brown said the troops were firing wildly, sometimes backward over their shoulders. The mob, which was not very large, as it seemed to me, was pursuing with shouts and stones, and, I think, an occasional pistol shot. The uproar was furious. I ran at once to the head of the column, some persons in the crowd shouting: Here comes the Mayor. I shook hands with the officer in command, Captain Follansbee, saying as I did

ral Assembly before or since. It was composed of John C. Brune, Ross Winans, Henry M. Warfield, J. Hanson Thomas, T. Parkin Scott, H. M. Morfit, S. Teackle Wallis, Charles H. Pitts, William G. Harrison, and Lawrence Sangston. The Mayor and the police authorities were indefatigable in their efforts to restore quiet. By authority of a special ordinance the Mayor prohibited the display of flags of all kinds except on the Federal Government buildings, as they tended to cause excitement. On May 5, General B. F. Butler occupied, with two regiments, the Relay House, and on the 13th he entered Baltimore, which was then as quiet as it is to-day. He occupied and fortified Federal Hill and issued a proclamation treating the city as conquered territory. For this achievement, which was entirely unopposed, he was made a major-general of volunteers. From this time began a series of outrages upon the citizens of Baltimore of unparalleled ferocity and injustice, which continued until the w

isloyalty. General Dix, who took command July 24, said it required 10,000 men to keep Baltimore in subjection, and he put the city under the heavy guns of three fortifications. All over the State men were arrested upon the information of spies, and subjected to hardships and indignities. Judge Carmichael while sitting in his court at Easton, was assaulted by soldiers and a provost marshal, with his deputies, and dragged bleeding from the bench. Christian Emmerich. Christian Emmerich, 1431 West Lombard street, now upward of eighty years of age, and one of the influential members of St. Paul's Methodist Church, South, had about as severe an experience of military rule in Baltimore city during the Civil War as any other citizen in those trying times. Mr. Emmerich was sent to Albany penitentiary on the charge of conveying information to the enemy; his house, where he resides to-day, was taken possession of, and the ladies and children of his family subjected to gross indignities
