Arrested for Perjury.--Deputy U. S. Marshal Wynkoop, has arrested S. S. Rankin, (of pugilistic notoriety and Know Nothing proclivities) for wilful perjury and contempt, in swearing that he was a citizen of the United States, while vouching at the late election for one about to become a citizen. At a hearing before U. S. Commissioner Hazlett, Rankin was held in $2500 bail. It will be remembered Rankin was appointed by Gov. Pollock, one of his Aids-de-Camp, and was a warm advocate of the present Know Nothing Mayor, notwithstanding his foreign extraction.
    The gentleman named above has made himself exceedingly conspicuous in relation to a late case which has been prominently before the public, and now he has got hold of the hot end of the poker himself. The "People's party" is rapidly becoming a happy family.--Phila. Argus.
