L respect to the cs.ape of the , nia. upon which arguments(ireat "nrltatn , was mulcted in heavy damages. In that case it will be remembered the susp icted ves*el got a wav before the British authorities had received sufficient inforn ation. as they claimed, to " ar " I rant them in seizing her. In the ca*e of the Itata the ves ol was absolutely in the possession of the I nited States Marshal, and the responsibility for her escape can not le evaded. It mav be a question between the Departmentof Justice and the United States Marshal as to whether proper precau- । tions were taken to insure the detension of the vessel, but as b tween the I nited

States and the recognized ( hilian Government should Bain ac da be successful I in the internecine warfare now in progress. there can be no manner of dispute as t<> the complete liability of the United I States Government for whatever dam- i ages the Itata uncaptured may be able to inflict. '1 here is qu tea feverish air of expectancy round the Navy Department as to the devclopements of the incident, and many of the officer* on shore 1 are envying the opportunities which the Charleston and other vessels are likely to have of bri a service afloat. ..... The ouestion of the right of the I nited States to take, the Hata on the high seas I is not altogether settled. The State Department people have searched their authorities and have scrutinized the facts in the ca-c, and are inclined to doubt the right. The whole question arises from a dispute as to the character of the vessel. Mere she a pirate,

a Ship in the service oi au 1 enemy to this country, and a vessel < of American register engaged in acts in violation of treaty stipulations, the ■ case would be a simple one But she is merely a Chilian \es*el. engaged in the transportat on of a suspected cargo, a cargo that may possibly be contraband in the light of the treaty, and there is a very great risk involved. No one doubts the right of the United States to arrest the vessel in our waters for the

purpose of examination, and her detention was in accordance with this belief. But now that she has landed the deputy marshal and sailed a’ong on her business sho may prove a hornet that will sting in after years In the matter of the international law involved it would seem as though the State Department is not in entire at cord with the rest of the administration, for both Attorney General Miller and Secretary Tracy lean to the belief that the vessel Itata is legitimate prey.

The assassination of the late Chief of 1 lice shows the culmination of a coiispiracy. His death was deemed necessary to prevent* the exposure and punisment of criminal^ whose guilt was being fast established by his diligent pursuit. The condition of affairs in tins community as to a certain, I class ot violators of the law had reached I such a state that the law itself was well nigh powerless to deal with them, so farreaching was their power and influence in the trial of criminal cases. Good citizensI were profoundly impressed by the repeated and signal failures of justice. The arts of I the perjurer seemed to dominate in th®courts, paralyzing and rendering powerless the ends of justice. Certainly this was adesperate situation. In the public meeting above referred to—general and spontaneous in character astruly indicating an uprising of the masses—we doubt if any power at the command of the authorities would have been sufhc.ent to overcome its intentions. Evidence 1* before us from official sources that eleven ' persons were killed in the attack on the ■ Jlrish prison. In the careful examination . as to citizenship of those men we find that ■ I eight of them were beyond question American citizens, and another had -declared his * intention” in this court, which act carries 1 I with it the renunciation of alleglence to

a°nomvvorthy fact in connection with the uprising that no Injury whatever wa. done to either person or property ^yond the act which seemed to have been the o ject of the assemblage at the parish prison. We have referred to the large number of _ citizens participating in the d emonstrat m. estimated by judges at from 6,000 to 8 OCO and regarded as a spontane us the people. The magnitude of this affair mates it a difficult task to fix the guilt upon anv number of the participants—in fact the act seemed to involve the entire people of the parish and city of New Orleans so profuse was their sympathy and extended their connection with the affair. In view of these considerations, the thorough examination of the subject has failed to disclose the necessary facts to justify this Grand Jury in presenting indictments. Respectfully submitted.
