MISCELL&NEOIIBI
THE POWER OF LOVE.—At the breaking out
of the rebellion, llr. J. J. Searight enlisted in a
company of volunteers from the town of Lincoln,
Illinois, which was attached to the 32d Regiment of
infantry from that State. At a later date air. Sea
tight received a lieutenant's commission. He was
.generally esteemed as' an excellent officer; and did
his whole duty in several of the sanguinary engage
ments in the Southwest. In .in unlucky hour he
met a young lady of rebel proclivities, but extreme.
ly beautiful, at her home near Nashville, Tennes
see. Suffice it to say that they met anti loved. All
the time the lieutenant could spare from his duties
was spent in the society of the charining Secesh
syren, and she as eagerly returned his burning pas
sion. Lieut. Searight time and again offered his
resignation—ho wished to leave the tented field and
dwell in the rosy bowers of love—hut, unlike his
love, it was not accepted. Love at length conquered:
all his scruples—he deserted I and succeeded in es
caping beyond the Federal lines with the young
lady. The Southern belle who thus seduced the
lieutenant is enormously wealthy—being the posses
sor of an ample fortune in sterling gold. They also
succeeded in miming the blockade at Charleston,
and arrived at }lnvitee last Christmas day, when
they were married, and are now living, it is said, in
happiness and elegance. Whether snob .n. man is
the more to be blamed or pitied, we know not. Love
has seduced from honor and duty many wiser men
than Lieut.' Searight. It is a resistless and over
whelming sentiment, and the best of mortals commit
follies and extravagances, and even crimes, when
involved in its silken meshes.

had counted 4,480 strokes of the heart, listened to 86

his hand was heavy, and his voice was hoarse and

THE GOVERNOR OF UTAH OPPOSES PO
LYGAMY AMONG THE MORMONS.—Conside
rable exeit anent has been caused in Great Salt Lake
City (Utah Territory) by the message lately sent to
the Legislature by Gov. Harding. The Governor,
finding upon intercourse with the people, a great
lack of sympathy with the Government, pointedly
rebukes, in his message, this telling the
people plainly that their first great duty is loyalty to
the Administiation. Also, in the same bold spirit,
discusses at length the question of polygamy, de
nouncing the institution in the severest terms, and
warning all who have heretofore defied the laws of
Congress against it, that henceforth all such resist
ance will be visited with the full consequences au
thorized by the law. These decided avowals of hos
tility to their cherished peculiarities, of course,
provoke the deepest indignation of the Mormon
community and the result has been that the Legis
lature has refused to publish the message, it being
instead boldly announced that the "church authori
ties" have decided that it shall not be issued from
the press at the capital at all, and that if possible it
shall be suppressed altogether. Of course, the only
result of this opposition will be to widen the de
mand for the document thus suppressed; and, indeed,
its publication by thousands of contests already said
to be provided for by anti-Mormon citizens.
NEW TELEGRAPH ENTERPRISE—The In
dependent Telegraph Company have extended their .
line of telegraph from New York to Philadelphia,
and have laid a submarine cable across the North
river, which in a few days will be working to Phila
delphia. The cable is said to be one of the largest
'and best constructed ever laid in this country; its
length Is one mile; it has four copper conducting
wires of No. 14 size, and insulated with three coat
ings of pure gutta percha, &labs in diameter; and
each conducter is wound outside the gutta perohn
with tine jute, well tarred. The four conductors are
twisted together like a rope, and the whole Is cover
ed with two-thread Manilla yarn, well tarred, and
covered with an armor of twenty-six No. 9 galva
nized Iron wires, laid on laterally, and bound with
No. 9 galvanized iron wire; the wire making a com
plete iron casing of 9% inches in circumference. Its
weight is about seven tons. It was made by the
Bishop Gutta Percha Co. of New York. Colonel
Speed, the President of the Aloe, assisted by Mr.
Marks, foreman of the Bishop Gutta ' , cretin Co's
works, superintended the laying, which was success
fully accomplished on Wednesday evening.

here. Fire-dies of gold and brilliants already sparkle
upon the graceful white feathers and fresh green

a twentieth of an inch per hour, within transparent
shades exquisitely cut, not larger than a cherry.
The tubing is to be of solid gold, connected with a

lie concealed in the meshes of luxuriant hair behind
the head. The pressure will be applied to the golden
tank, which is supported by an elaborate back comb,
the top of which forms a row of little gas-lights.

SNOW IN NEW ENGLAND.—There is excel
lent sleighing in the northern and eastern parts of
New England. 'ln central Newliampshire the snow
has not been deep enough to allow logging opera
tions in the woods, and the railway lines miss their
usual winter freights of ship timber. It is thought
that the late stozin will enable the lumber men to
enter upon their usual winter work. Late advises
from Maine report that notwithstanding the scarcity
of snow on the coast, there has been sufficient in the

the choppers have been busy as bees in cutting as

SURERS.
Monongahela Insurance Company vs. Thomas R.
Chester, for use, &o. Error to the District Court of
Allegheny county. Opinion of the court by Thomp
son, J.
It appears by the case stated that this was an ac
tion offiebt in the court below egainst the Insurance,
Companv, on a time-policy issued by them to the
plaintiff, for the insuring of the steamer Illohawk,
to continue one year. The steamer, by the terms of
the policy, wee privileged to navigate the Ohio river
and tributaries, the IYlissisidopi river, at and between
New Orleans and Keokuk, lowa, anti the Illinois
river. The amount of risk taken was $6,000, and
the perils insured against were "of the seas, lakes,
rivers, fires, enemies, pirates, assailing thieves, and
all such losses anti misfortunes which shall coins to
the damage of the said steamer Mohawk, aecording
to the true intent and meaning of this policy."
It also appears that on the 20th of April, 1861, in
the lifetime of the policy, the steamer bein on her
way up the Mississippi, touched at Memphis,
Ten
nessee, and 'was there forcibly seized by armed men
profeseing to act under and by authority of the so
called " Confederate States of America," declaring
at the time of seizure that the purpose was to detain
and confiscate berth the use of the Confederate States,
and that she was, in fact, so detained and oontlsoit
led. That the captain and crew protested and made
all the resistance against such forcible seizure and
detention in their power, when at last, to avoid vio
lence to themselves, they were obliged to leave and
fly for their lives; thus the steamboat became en
tirely lost to the owner, and was abandoned to the
underwriters as for a total loss.
On the trial below it would appear that the ground
of recovery was based mainly on one of the enume
rated perils—viz: that the steamer was lost by the
act of " enemies," and so the court ruled, and hence
this writ of error.
The terns " enemiea," as used in the policy, means
public enemies, and is defined by writers on na
tional law to be "where the whole body of the naa
bon is at war with another." Bowv. I. Die. Vet
te! says " an enemy is he with whom a natiof is at
war." Law of Nations, an Adhering strictly to
these definitions, the loss here would hardly be
covered by an insurance against "enemies." But
this is too narrow a ground to take. Indemnity is
the object of all insurance, and in marine policies
the rule seems to be that where the loss is of a
like nature with the specified peril, or in other words,
esibetantially within its meaning, to sustain the
liability of the under Writers. The enumerated perils
are described, of course, by general terms, while
the varieties of the species may be numerous;
but if they substantially belong to the class described
by the terms used, they are within it, unless the
pleadings prevent, the rule being that "policies
are to he construed largely for the benefit of trade."
Hilliard on LIB., 201.
The case of the meal mob on the coast of Ireland,
Nesbit vs. Lushington. 4 Term Rep., M, is illustra
tive 01 this principle. The mob compelled the master
of a vessel driven ashore in a stress of weather to
sell them the corn insured and on board, at a price
below its actual value, and paid at the rate pm"-
scribed, and this, Lord Kenyon 0.. T. was of opinion,
would, if it had been so laid in claiming as for a
general average, have been a loss by piracy.
I notice that in the argument of that case reference
was made by Mr. Erskine,
counsel for the uoder
writers, to limes during tiro American war, (the re
volution), and to the manner of declaring on them,
and he said that the seizures were always laid " by
persons unknown," and that no objection was ever
made. This was probably the mode adopted to avoid
the question made here, that the Americans, being in
rebellion against the British crown, were not le
gally enemies; but this is conjecture.
Ot the same class of cases with the above is
Powell v. Hyde, 34 Eng. L. &Eq. 44. It was the case
of an English ship sunk by a Russian fort, in mistake,
supposing it to be a Turkish vessel. It was there
held, that but for an exception that the ship was
warranted free from capture and seizure, "there
might have been a recovery, notwithstanding Rus
sia and England were at peace." It must have been
so held, because it was within the peril covered by
"enemies," "captures," or the like. It is not ordi
narily the case, certainly, that the acts of friendly na
tions are supposed to be perils to be insured against.
As it was, however, by the same sort of force, and
to the insured equally irresistible as the nets of ene
mies, it was held to be a peril insured against. I am
inclined, therefore, to think that the loss in this case
might have been covered by the peril "enemies,"
even if placed alone on that ground by the plead
ings, which was not the case here.
The case stated finds the seizure to have been
made by an awned force in military array, acting by
authority of a recently-organized Government in
rebellion against the Government of the United
States. In substance it was a state of war, and truly
on a &antic scale, and which has progressed in pro
portions more formidable than any national war of
modern times. - Many and deadly battles have been
fonght between the forces of the rightful Govern
ment of the United States and those of the usurping
Government of the States in rebellion,and the po
litical organization of the latter has therto been
maintained. Indeed, our Government, through the
dictates of humanity, doubtless, has adopted the
usages of lawful war towards these enemies, and
this has been reciprocated by them. Prisoners have
been exchanged under cartels settled in the usual
troy—flags Of truce are inspected, and captures at
sea merle and adjudicated to be lawful prizes, and
the usages of lawful war been generally observed
between the belligerent parties. It is therefore a
war in substance as essentially as it could be be
tween foreign Powers. The force is the same ; the
Ito property the same, and hence the indemnity,
I think, might fairly have been rested upon the
same reason. Pratt on Contraband, 85. This treat
ment of the contest by our. Government, and the ci
vilized manner in which it has been conducted, will
nevertheless not reduce the rebellion below treason
in fact and in spirit, or redeem those engaged in it
from the odium of being traitors towards theirright
ful Government.
But it is not at all indispensable to the mainte
pence of this judgment that it should he sustained •
on the ground on which it seems to have been placed
below. The judgment is right, even if the reasons
for it be insufficient. As we have no pleadings in the
ease,we are not tied down to any one ground of reco
very. If it be sustainable ou any ground, the judg
ment is right. In looking at the policy we discover
the usual and general clause following the enumera
ted perils, and we restate the whole clause to show
more satisfactorily its bearing on this case. The in
surance is against the perils "of the seas, lakes,
rivers, tires, enemies,
pirates, assailing thieves, and
all such losses and misfortunes which shall come 'to
the damage of the said steamer Mohawk according
to the true intent and meaning of this policy."
In 3d Kent, page 2eo, the learned author says:
"This general, sweeping clause, following the enu
secreted list, covers other eases of marine damage
of the like kind with those specially enumerated,
and occasioned by similar causes." This doctrine is
predicated of a general clause, differing only in the
use of the words of the enumerated clause of "all
other losses "instead of " all such losses." This
Effect of the general clause is also laid down:ln
Moses vs. The Sun 'Autual Ins. Co., I Doer Rep.,
and in 2 Ambit!, 512. We have already observed in
the character of the contest, and the manner in
which it has been conducted from the first, and
Surely if the war be not such, and those engaged in
it enemies to'the country and domicile of the insured,
in the technical sense of the word, the capture of
the steamer Mohawk resulted from a very similar
cause. It was by an armed force in military form,
actigg under the authority of an organized although
usurping Government, claiming to hold and main
tain a separate existence as against the rightful Go
vernment, and was an irresistible force as against the
property insured, so that it became entirely lost to
him. Upon this general clause a recovery, I think,
therefore, can be securely rested.
These views entirely and necessarily exclude the
suggestion that the loss was covered by the peril of
" assailing thieves." The facts found negative any
such ground as this. Judgment affirmed.
THE CASE OP COLONEL CROSS-HIS PARDON DE7-
CLARED TO /3E VOID.
Commonwealth ex rel. T.B. Cross vs. Halloamy,
warden of the Eastern Penitentiary. Habeas Cor
pus. Opinion of the court by Lowrie. C. T.
There are charters or patents for new inventions
for lands for grants of corporate privileges, and as
commissioners of public affairs, as well as those of
pardons ; and though all these have a strong like
ness as to their form and to the source whence they
immediately proceed, yet they have also some
marked points of unlikeness, that warn us to
be cautious about confounding the rules that
belong to any one kind with those of another.
We notice here only the distinction that is import
ant for this case. With us, those that relate to new
inventions, to lands, to corporate privileges, and to
offices are usually only the last step in the process
by which certain rights become completely vested;
and when all the preliminary steps are regular and
complete, this last step becomes a mere ministerial
duly definitely prescribed by law, and the claimant
has a right to demand that it shaft be taken because
he has performed all the conditions upon which the
lew has made his title to it to depend. Then the
appropriate charter becomes a vested right, and the
withholding of it a civil injury, which may usually
be redressed in some form of law; and in some
cases the metier may be treated as if the charter
had been actually delivered, though the fact bo
otherwise. These instances bear a strong analogy
to sales of land where all the terms have been per
formed by the purchaser and the conveyance alone
is wanting, or where a deed has been delivered in
escrow and all the conditions of final delivery have
been performed. The equity of the law often dis
penses with such final acts of investiture of ,title as
are, in their nature, only formal.
But charters of pardon are entirely different from
those in the conditions on which they depend ; for,
(not to speak of those which are issued in pursuance
of promises, by proclamation or otherwise, of Execu
tive clemency) they are forwarded on mere grass,
and not at all on any preliminary steps that furnish
legal merits or a legal title to them. The intention
of the Executive to - grant a pardon can have no legal
force until carried into completed act. And his in
structions to his proper officers, and their work in
pursuance of his instructions, are only the means by
which he embodies hie intentions into the completed
act, and have no force out of the Executive sphere
until thus completed ; though the courts may, when
the intention is satisfactorily shown, suspend further
proceedings in expectation of the actual pardon, as
has been sometimes done in England. The completed
act is the charter of pardon and delivered. This is
the one and only step that gives title to: a pardon.
Until delivery, all that may have been done is mere
matter of intended favor, and maybe cancelled to ac-.
cord with a change of Intention.
Was this pardon delivered*? In the strictest sense
no ; for the grantee of it never saw it or had it in
his possession. But in n lees strict Witte, yes; for
it was delivered to the warden of the prison, and
)hie has been with us usually treated as a delivery,
the charter of pardon having come, by a somewhat
loose practice, to be considered as the warden or
keeper of the prison's voucher for the discharge of
the prisoner, rather than what it truly is—the pri
soner's title to the pardon of his offence, and to his
discharge from all the consequences of his con
viction.
We say this practice is somewhat loose, because
it takes away from the grantee his title to his par
dcn, and throws upon the warden the responsibility
of judging of its sufficiency. We do not condemn
the practice, because ordinarily it works very well,
and because the strict ancient practice that re
fromd th prisoner to sue out it habeas corpus
the Court or King's -Bench (Supreme Court
bele) in order that he might appear and plead his
pardon, and have it allowed there would be very in
convenient with us. If this strict practice were pur
sued the prisoner could not get his discharge with
out the judgment of the court on the sufficiency of
his pardon, and it seems very proper that he should
gain no advantage by this loose practice beyond ex
emption from the inconvenience of the stricter
practice.
But we have not yet fully answered the question,.
was this pardon delivered? We think that by
usage, Its delivery to the warden is prima facie
equivalent to delivery, or Is a constructive delivery
to the prisoner; but it la open to be proved no de
livery by showing circumstancee that are inconsistent
with the intention to deliver it. The circumstances
shown here, are—that the Governor issued the
pardon as a means of putting the prisoner into the
hands of the United States Marshal, and through
him into the hands of the War Department at Wash
ington, for the performance of some service to that
department ; that-it was delivered to the marshal to
be used for that purpose, and not to he used as a par
don unless the prisoner would consent to go for that
purpose, and was not enrolled ; that the prisoner was
not informed of hie pardon, but consented to go to
Washington, and woe taken there by the marshal,
who there learned that the Governor and ho had
been imposed upon by forged letters as from the War
Department, and no service was wanted from him;
anti the prisoner was thereupon brought back by the
marshal on the next day without having been out of
his custody, and immediately returned to his cell in
1 he Fen it canary; and the entry on the warden'a books
is in accordance with this, that he was delivered into
the custody of the marshal under the authority of
the pardon, and on the next day returned. By order
Of the Secretary of the Commonwealth the pardon
was sent hack to him.
We have already found a cifilstructive delivery,
independent of circumstances: Do the circumstances
just related change the result or forbid such a find
ing] We think they do. The intention of the Go
vernor was to accommodate the War Department by
allowing it to obtain the services of the prisoner,
and the intention to pardon wlfs only an incident of
this, and dependent upon it. There was no intention
to pardon, except-for the purpose of meeting a sup
posed request of the War Department for - the tier
vlces of theprisoner, and, when this turns out to be
entirely without foundation, there can be no reason
for attributing any efficiency to the subordlnitte and .
dependent intention. Judicial constructions, like
judicial fictions, are designed to further and not to
frustrate equity and justice, and can never prevail
against manifest right and justice, and the. prisoner
has no sort of merits in law or equity on which to
base a claim that this pardon was constructively de
livered or constructively vests in him any right. A
delivery of goods to a carrier is usually a construe
tit e delivery() the consignee, but not so if it be in
duced by mistake or Irriud—at least, not irrevoca
bly so.
True, the prisoner was taken out of the Peniten
tiary by means of the pardon; but he was not dis
charged under it, else he would have gone free, and
not have been brought back. He was not intended
to he discharged except to enter upon the expected
service, and he low no equity to claim that the mis
taken delivery to the marshal shall stand for a dis
charge on a complete and valid pardon. The most
that could be made of it would be that thin was the
application of the form of a pardon to a unautho
rized purpose,aud that his delivery to the marshal
was a voluntary or an involuntary escape, neither
of which is equivalent to a pardon.
We think, also, that this pardon is void because of
the false and forged representations and papera that
were used in procuring it from the Governor. We
do not feel entirely prepared to assent to that part
of the argument of the Attorney General which
would base this conclusion on the statute 27 Ed. 3,
c. 2, 1 Ruff: 273, because we are not entirely satisfied •
that that statute has been received as part of our
law. We prefer leaving that question open for fu
ture consideration. But we think the principles of
the common law demand this conclusion, rind they
have a rather wider extent than the provisions of
this statute. '
By the statute a pardon is to be disallowed by the
fudges of their own motion, if any of the sugges
tions contained in it appear to be false ; but by the
common law all charters and patents may he
avoided if based on any false suggestion, whether
the suggestions be contained in them or not. This
question, however, can' be raised only 'at the in
stance of the attorney general, as the law officer of
the Executive, for it would beguile indecent that
any other person should raise it, unless under some
carefully-prepared statutory regulation. Such a
question mny be raised by a ace. fa. to repeal the char
ter, but it may also be raniedon habeas corpus issued
to allow the prisoner to plead his pardon ; for the
Commonwealth is a party to that proceeding, and
the attorney general may appear and answer the
plea, by showing the false suggestions on which the
pardon was obtitned.
Here the falsity of the suggestion le very plain.
True, there is no falsity in the suggestion specified
in the pardon. But this is fully accounted for. The
suggestion that is recited contains only the general
reason of publics expediency, because the special
grounds of that expediency were to be kept secret.
•The forged letters to the Governor and marshal sug
gested that the prisoner was needed for some secret
public, service, and that as this could not be recited
in the pardon, en application should be made that
should specify only general considerations. ito that
the pardon might be founded on that without naming
the letters.
We do not feel the force of the objection that the
prisoner does not fitmenr to have had any hand is
the forging of the letters. He can claim nothing its
a favor that is founded on the fraud of his friends,
so as to prevent the frustration of the fraud. Any
person may reclaim the rights out of which hi has
been cheated, until they come into the hands of a
third person, who is a bona fide purchaser for value,
without notice of the fraud. And so may the Com
monwealth. The prisoner has no merit of his own
that is sufficient to override the fraud of his friends
in this matter. When he shows that he has, he will
no doubt get a new and honest pardon. tie has no
better title to this pardon than a consignee of goods
would have after the goods had been stopped in
transitu, on the discovery that the sale and delivery
had been procured by letters forged by the friends of
the consignee.
The prisoner is remanded. •

THE CASE ON ALBERT D. 110ILJIAII AND THE
EVENING JOIJENAL--JUDGE ALLISON ORDERS
THAT NO INDICTMENT SHALL BE SENT IN TO
THE GRAND JURY
On yesterday morning, the February term
of the court commenced. The Grand Jurors
summoned for the term appeared and answered to
their names: George W. Briggs was appointed fore
man. Judge Allison then gave them the usual in
struction(' as to the general business of the court
that would be laid before them, and then, on the sub
ject of the recent arrest of Mr. Boileau, the proprietor
of the Evening Journal of t his city, and Judge Ludlow's
charge to the Grand jury of the last term, on the
subject, specially instructed them as follows :
I deem it proper, at this time, in view of recent
proceedings in this court, to say something to you,
gentlemen, touching your powers and duties as
Grand Jurors, inquiring for the city and county of
Philadelphia, in the discharge of the • serious
and important responsibilities which now devolve
upon you, you may be guided by the established
landmarks of the law, by which it is always safe to
be governed, and in departing from which \ye enter
only on the path of danger and uncertainty:
With the usual and ordinary mode of procedure
in the institution of criminal proceedings in Penn
sylvania, almost every citizen is familiar. The ar
rest of the person charged with crime is upon war
rant lamed on oath or affirmation of a prosecutor.
When arrested, the defendant is taken before the
magistrate who issued the warrant, where he is con
fronted with his accuser, and is informed of the
charge preferred against him; the witnesses are sub
ject to his cross-examination; he is heard in his de
fence, and by the magistrate he is discharged from
the arrest, or bailed, or committed to answer before
the tribunal in which the question of his guilt or
innocence is to be determined. If he is held to
answer, an indictment, which is a written statement
of the crime charged in' due form of law, is sent by
the District Attorney before a Grand Jury, with the
names of the witnesses endorsed upon the back of
the bill, and, if upon an examination of the witnesses
thus called to support the charge, twelve or more of
the Grand Jurors vote in favor of returning it a true
bill, it is so returned into court, and the defendant is
then called to answer whether he is guilty or not
guilty in manner and form as lie stands indicted.
lf, however, twelve of thejurors not.vote true
it is returned "ignoramussed,. and the de
fendant is discharged without being placed on trial.
This is the ordinary mode of criminal procedure,
which is always Bale to be followed, because it
brings lace to face the accuser and the accused ; in
forms the poison charged with crime with the na-.
ture and cause of the accusation against him, and
thus affords the proper time and opportunity to pre
pare for a defence.
The extraordinary modes of procedure are three
fold : the first is, where criminal courts of their own
volition, in the language of Judge King, in the ease
of Lloyd and Carpenter, 5 L. J.. 69,' call the atten
tion of Grand Juries to and diiect investigations of
matters of general public import, which from their
nature and operation in the entire community,
justify such intervention. The action of courts on
such occasions rather bears on thingtilthan persons,
the object being the suppression of genei al and pub
lie evils,.affecting in their influence and operation
communities rather than individuals, and therefore
more properly the subject of general than special
complaint—such as great riots that shake the social
fabric ; general public nuisances affecting the public
health and comfort; multiplied and flagrant vices,
tending to debauch and corrupt the public morals,
and the like.
Another instance of extraordinary proceedings is
where the Attorney General or the District Attor
ney, by virtue of his office, without a previous
binding over or commitment of the accused, prefers
an indictment before n Grand Jurry. This be has the
undoubted right to do, being responsible for the pro
per use of this high power vested in him by the law
of the land.
The only remaining case in which the ordinary
procedure may be departed from is that which is
originated by the presentment of the Grand Jury. A
presentment of this character must be founded ex
clusively upon Meir own knowledge or observation--they
cannot act on information communicated by anyone
outside of their own body, nor can they be aided in
their investigation, against individual offenders,
whom they may desire to present for indiotinent by
the processes of the court: In Carpenter's case this
was refused to the Grand Jury,although specially ap
plied for by them, in an investigation of n charge of
a conversion to their own use of public moneys, by
members of the Board of Health.
To these principles and rules of act ion, gentlemen,
I have called your attention, as proper to be commu
nicated to you at the commencement of your term,
and because they have a direct bearing upon what I
am about to say, touching certain proceedings which
transpired in this court during the week which ter-
pinated on Saturday last.
His Honor, Judge Ludlow,. on Thursday, the 29th
ult.., called the attention of the Grand Jury, in a
special charge, to the fact that it had come to his
knowledge that a citizen of this Commonwealth and
of this county had been suddenly arrested at his re
sidence, and had been forcibly carried against his
will beyond the limits of this State, and thejurisdic
tion of this court. Accompanying this statement
was a request that the Grand Jury would suspend
all other business, and en instruction to the Die-
Arict Attorney to send for the persons named; di
recting the Grand Jury, after they had heard the
witnesses brought before them, to present the facts
to the court,
On the following day a presentment was made to
the court in substance, that A. D. Boileau, the pro
prietor of the Evening , Journal, had been arrested by
military officers, In the service of the United States,
and conveyed to Fort McHenry ; the alleged cause
of the arrest was the publication of articles tending
to the support and encouragement of rebellion
agßinst the Government of the United States.
Upon this presentment the District Attorney, by
the judge then holding the court, was directed to
prepare and send before the Grand Jury bills of in
dictment.
To this proceeding I am compelled to except, re
garding it as wrong in every aspect in which it can
be viewed. I would be derelict in my duty as a judge
of this court, if, by. my silence, I might even seem to
sanction it, and if, in speaking, I did not place upon
it thy most emphatic condemnation. It this unwise,
because 'it was unnecessary the ordinary mode of
criminal procedure being fully adequate to remedy
the wrong, if a wrong has been committed; and that
method being, in my judgment, the only proper and
legal way of bringing the case in court. It was in
judicious, for, however well intended, the conse;
quence of a judge, of hie own motion, upon mere
information obtained in no legal way—for there was
no complaint under oath—with unnecessary and
unusual haste, making use of his official position
to institute a prosecution strictly personal and pri
vate in its nature, is to tender the whole pro
ceeding liable to misconstruction; to place this
court in a false position before the country, as
anxious for, rind of its own motion seeking, a cause
of difficulty with the Government, and because the
legitimate result of such action is to precipitate a
collision between the States and General Govern
ment, when such collision should by all proper
means and to the last possible extremity be avoided,'
that the true and constitutional Government of the
land may be upheld and strengthened, hilts fearful
• struggle with al] infamous rebellion, which defies its
authority, tramples on its flag, imperils its ex
istence, and which has filled the land with lamenta
tion anti woe. I cannot consent that this court
shall even unintentionally be used for any such pur
pose, unless they necessity- be forced upon us, and
that a necessity that cannotbe avoided ; and, speak
leg for myself, I. here ear, itshall not be soused, If by
the exercise of any portion of, or all, the rightful
power of my office, it can be prevented.
There is still another reason why I cannot ap
prove of the proceedings under consideration, and
that is, because I believe thereto be unauthorized
- by the law of the land, having no established prin
ciple regulating proceedings beloro Grand Juries to
sanction or to sustain them ; n brief reference to the
essentials of the three extraordinary modes of in
stituting procedure, to which I have called your
attention, will 'mike this clear to a itenconstration.
It is not such a presentment as cite be made, the
barns of any action by the court, for being aimed at
individual offendere, and of n specific and. distinct
offence, it could be legally founded only on the per
sonal knowledge of the grand jurors ; the present
meld in question has for Its foundation a communi
cation made to the jury by, the presiding judge, anti
the statements of persona sent before - thole by his
direction ; this isprecisely what the (newt Oarpen
ter's care deMded they had no, authority to do, and
therefoie stands in direct conflict with the esta
blished late and express decision of this Court. j
THE PRESS.-PITILADELPHIA. TUESDAY. FEBRUARY 3. 1863.
'noel . , therefore, reganl the preaentcpent ea irregular
and invalid. • . •
Neither time this fall under the seeped elassiffatt- ,
tion; the proceeding did not originate with the Dis
trict Attorney, nor was any Indictment, of his
own motion or otherwise, laid before the Graud
Jury.
It is equally clear that it does itottall in with the
only remaining mode, which is where the court. of
their own motion, call the attention of the Grand
Jury to, and direct an investigation of, matters ge
neral in their nature; for, as we have already seen,
that can only be done where the evil afflacts the en
tire comninnity, and in no case where it is personal
and individual. It is not to be doubted that incases
like to those previously mentioned, such as riots,
nuisances, and multiplied and flagrant vices which
injuriously affect the health, or comfort, or safety of
the public, the court may summon and send before
the Grand Jury witnesses to aid their investigation;
but, to recur again to the language of Judge King,
"this course is never adopted in eases of ordinary crimes
charged against individuals; because it would involve,
to a certain extent, the expression of opinion, by an
ticipation, on facts subsequently to come before the
courts for direct judgment, and because such cases
present none of those urgent necessities which jus
tify a departure from the ordinary course ofjustice."
If, a judge may direct an investigation by the
Grand Jury of an individual ease of an alleged
false arrest, the result of which investigation is to
be made the basis of an individual, personal indict
ment, then may he in this way institute separate
and individual prosecutions upon information of
*known and irresponsible persons for every crime
known to the calendar, a proceeding entirely at va
riance
with the proper functions of his judicial office,
and which in itself would constitute a power of a
most fearful and despotic nature ; no citizen would
be safe, for the same officer who procures the indict
meet of en individual defendant for, a specific
offence would have the power to try and sentence
him when brought into court by his dime: agency. I
have thus, at some length, gentlemen, expressed my
views upon a matter of great public moment;
could not do otherwise, and deal justly with my
self as a true and loyal citizen, with the commu
nity of which I ant a member and an officer, and
with any country, which has a right to know, in this
the hour of her extreme peril, that as a' citizen and
magistrate, my personal and official support shall
be given to it. Nor could I, by my silence, permit
the spirit of malignant and treasonable faction
which lives among us, which Is wholly in the inte
rest of the rebellion, which by every means in its
power seeks to weaken the arm of the Government,
and to give support and - encouragement to armed
resistance to constituted authority ,- by the honest
and well-intentioned, though injudicious, action of
Any member of this court, to suppose that it could
here receive encourogement, protection,or approval.
I have Said nothing of the act which has giveh rise
to this proceeding ; have no opinion about it, be-
MUM the facts have in no proper way come before
me. If a prosecution should, in due form of law,
grow out of the transaction , anti .he called for trial
during this term, it shall receive its-dna mu:hoiden.-
Hon at the hands of the court. ' I have formed no
preconceived judgment, which would disqualify me
from trying any ease, or determining any question
connected with it. .
The clerk is directed to enter the following order
upon the nannies of the court:
And now, February 2, 1863, it is ordered that the
District Attorney shall send -no indictment to the
Grand Jury based on the presentment brought into
court on. the 30th ult., until directed so to tic:o by a
majority of the court.
