IMPOrtant - Charge of Judge Underwood to
the Grand Jury at Norfolk.
Geitkmen of the Grand Tury:
'he abseice efAhe•Chief Justice Imposes
upon me the duty of submitting to you some
considerations fur your direction. To the last
aranPra assembled in thii city my views in
relation.to the great crime of treason against
the Ckivernment of the United States were ful
ly presented, and were also so extensively
published as not to require repetition..
• But the liabilities of persons wise were then
intbjeCt,to the parole agreed upon by the corn
*lidera id the armies which had been con
:: , tending r in daily conflict, was at that time an
inunljtulicated - and embarrassed question.—
Happily, however, the universal concurrence
bfjudiel iland legal authorities with the opin
ion given by the court ou that occasion, has
relieved us of all doubt upon the subject.
We are also from the changed condition 'of
ps,,country, as the.smoke of battle is clearing
;:awny, ,vaere,free.to;aet in the administration
ist,:civifjustice: Except in special calses the
wrlt pfhalfeas corpus' is restored, and the re
stralats of the parole having been removed by
the proclamation of:peace, it becomes our
duty to proved in the investigatian and pun
ishment of some of the crimes whic'i have
beesccOmmitted against our laws.
'The ornisilon of the last Grand Jeri to find
in4iettniuteragainSt those who may be eon
sideridthe principal criminals and greatest
offenders against the national sovereignty,
who were, in fact,, the most prominent in po
sition at the time they deserted their places in
the *nate pf.the United States, and became
Italers of the rebellion, has been misunder
stood, and the President has informed the
court that he is unwilling to advise proceed
ing against such subordinates as Wirz,while
tlikr superiors and more guilty leaders are
not lirought
.. to juStice. This court entirely
agrees with the President in , his , often-re
. panted' declaration, that treason, is the great
est of crimes and ought to be signally pun
ished, and. that it is . cowa r dly to punish the
subordinate and comparatively insignificant,
and allow the principals to escape. We also
concur in the opinion that the leaders in the
late rebellion may be treated either as traitors
br Ohne enemies, as they were undoubtedly
both by the lair's Of nation's.
It is due, however, to the late Grand Jury
Willy that their omission to find indictments
against the greater criminali when present
ing these of infe:rior poiltion.and protuinenee,
was caused by the knowledge that the leaders
bad been previously indicted in Washington,
and the jury wag'udw 1 ins to seem vindictive,
or to do any act not demanded by the sternest
Cleareirduty; Since shat time the Attor
ney General has published his opinion that
Washington is not: the proper place of trial,
but the.t the trial should be in Virginia, where
the actual offences had been committed. We
„
'='theretoro submit - the matter to your consid-.
eration. .
loch complaint has been nark by our fel
low-citlzens of the North of the tardiness of
our:criminal prosecutions. Ve think it bet
ter, in imitation of the great and good mar
: tyred Ll.nuoln, and in imitailionl of the. Great
Ruler of the Universe, whose judgments and
-
retributions, are slow i but, sure that we should
approach this great! question of the punish
ment of the authors of the terrible and unpro
voked rebellion with all; possible deliberation
discrimination, caution and clemency, so that
no Unnecessary blood shalt be added to the
...torrents that.have already soaked the soil of
our devoted State.-

That district containing more than four times
the tot ritory of the rich, prosperous, enlight•
ened,happy, liberty-and-equality-loving State
of Rhode Island ; once the seat of learning and
of beasted Virginia hospitality,the birth-place
•1 1 ' rof four Fresidents of the United States, em
;,,z.,bracing the site.of are first English settlement
in Aineriita„ the city of Jamestown, which,
now more fallen than Tyre or Sidon, or,So
dom or Gomorrah, has not enough of rums
even left for bats to flit or owls to hoot in.
i In the-,nineteen counties of that district,
there Is not new,as its Representative in Con
gress, thirty years 'ago boasted, a single news
paper published, and so long has the school
master been abroad, that probably more than
- three-fourths of •its native grown men and
women can neither mid nor write. Rhode
'lsland; with - Its half million acres, has nearly
;,-- diiuble the populntion,tentinies the wealth,en
' Sterprise and education, and contributes to the
'natiouni treasury more than twenty - Ain:Los the
amount of that district, with its more than
two millions of sterile acres lying on hcitYliffe.s
_of the Chesapeake ItaY, and on the grerwrivers
• James; York, Itappabannock 'and Potomac,
• ,baving the greatest Commercial, oyster and

,a forcible illustration
of the truth that justice, equity, industry and

is
profitable for the, lifeldint now is as well as
that which is to coE e, That righteousness
exalteth a nation, but sin is a reproach to any
1- , people."
sWc-would not object to sentiment of the
.old and eccentric member -of Congress from
the First district if he only referred to those
treasonable newspapets which have advocated
rebellion, for they have indeed been a curse
to us - all, lirinkirig fir and sword, desolation
and death, not only ujon Richmond, but upon

,To'our shame and disgr ce it must be ad
mitted that, so far ' as ' We re advised, every
one of the bumerous conflibts of races which
have occutired in this State during the past
year, has been the Wanton and unprovoked
work of wicked white risen; upon poor, quiet,
unciffending, and in taostses unarmed and
unresisting colored peopl e Why should!we
murder, rob, or interrupt' them, burn their
school-houses a ndchurche, insult and attack
the teachers, who 'in the clause of imprOve
meat and elevation and Christian charity,
have come fo,ns from the ever friendly North,
in the same spirit that broj ght them in 4355
tethis devoted city, when he scourge of yel
iow fever was here in its strath. Let us not
fOrget that then as now it was to the North
and its generous people that we hail to look
in our want for aid and asssstnnce. ! .
Unless a stop is put, to , Inch violence and
outrage upon the free dmen;
;we can never!ex
pect relief from the presenrie,of.horthern bay
onets, and admission to thlelrights , and privi
leges of the Federal "Unionl; I but we shall 'be
come the by-word and sbctrn !of the whole
civilized world. We shall b e considered bar
barians, and be justly excladed from the sym
pathies of all Christian me d. It is your duty,
gentlemen of the jury, to s,ee to it ttiat a peo
ple who were loyal and trine to the nation's
flag in the time of trial acid danger shall be
protected against the pelsecution of those
who, fresh from scenes of reason and rebel

their fidelity,and devotiOalto the i country.
We fully appreciate the Magnitude and diffi
culty of the task set beforeslou —the monstrous
wrong with which you are called to grapple,
like the giant hydra ; still lifts some oti its
many heads, which you m sat strike down, or
they will continue to disturb the public tran
quility. It Would be childish to expect that
so great an iniquity coidd; be extirpated i,n a I
single year,or even in s l sipgle generation; It
should be remembered), that it had. invaded
every source of Publid;ilyvate, social, 'and
domestic life. Not only dd it control tHpo
litical press and Aill pcililical parties in ;this
State, but, with rare; exceptions, it sPoke
from all our,pylpits, pert' cl ing the gospel of
human brotherhood into t e gospel of batman
chattelhood, and of the absolute submission
of a part tol the hist and a' nrice of the refit of
human kind.
Our religious teachers had• forgotteei to,
preach the I wrong of withholding the hire of
labor, trading in thebodits and souls ofi our
fellow-men; of separatiag husbands land
wives,parerits and children,and sending them
to a returniess oistance frml each other, land
f oar the homes of , their li ving and the g raves
of their dead.; and had become, withsome
worthy and glorious exleptlons, pandtrers
and apologists of the lust and riolence of the
I master, who, in return foe their services,were
willing to feed them on the fat of the land.
Our legislatorsjustead of following the chris
tian law requiring much where much is given
and proportioning accountability to the gifts
and talents of nature,' hae,Mblished the re
verse enactments, puni shing
,the _ignorant
and uneducated, whom i was:made a: crime
to enlighten, with death or, many offences,
which, when committed li; the'edacated ;and
privileged, were satisfied vith fine or impris
onment. . 1
Our courts ofjostice ha Proclaimed thp in
famous dcetrine that chiski suers had no rights
which white men were bound to respecy arid
into this very temple 'of law a I pious woman
had been dragged as n c riminal for an act
which might-almost incite an! arcliangel to
come down from the mansions • of , ihe blest—
for teaching the poor children' of oppreSsion
and of licensed wrong to read • the Bible,: and
the laws made "not th',gsvern them, brit to
crush out of them every.f feeling of humatiity•
'And worst of all and Most to he deplored"
was the prostitution of 'our" homes, the 3very
heart and seat of domestis purity,the poison

subjection of the women ef one complexion to
the wild fury of unbridled licentionsnesd,and

When joining in efforts for Mutual ald, -we
shall forgethe terriblelpast and. the gloomy
present, th dikter fruits of ages 7 - )f "violence
and oppresooh on our Side, and of misarbig
norance and degradatio. on the °then! Since
the adjournment of tile ; last Grand:Jul" , i the
•
attention;; of tke•court has heel particularly
called tolour . • disloyal press, by the highest
military authority in the country, with a view
to the punishment of its treason and excite
ment of Rebellion.
While concurring entirely' with the Lieu
tenant General and the distinguished soldier
and accomplished lawyer who commands the
department of Virginia, in the, propriety of
abating by military power such papers, du
ring the Supremacy of martial law,and recog
nizing the, distinction betsVeen liberty and
licentiodsness, after mature reflection we
doubt thb policy of suppressing,by the courts,
papers treasonable as any even in this State.
Aside from an unwillingness to limit the
freedom ;of the press, it is submitted that the
cause of; good government may gain more by
the exposure of
. treasonable designs through
the most disloyal press than it would by pun
ishment and suppression. By restraint the
disease would not be cured, but would only
become concealed and more dangerous by
Concealment.
The vanity, egotism and • heartlessness of
our disloyal editors can, with their limited
circulation; do little harm, except to them
selves and their friends. Their attack upon
good men only display their own malignity,
and greatly endear those they assail to the
hearts and sympathies of the true friends of
freedom and the country. It is not intended
to urge these views, and they are submitted
with great diffidence since they seem to con
flict with such emminent patriotism and high
authority. • •
