question OF considerable importance. At all
events, throwing aside, for the present, the con.
sideration Of the right which the creditors of
Stephenson have to arrest him at all in this
country, it would appear that the proceedings
connected with his abduction, as it may be cal.
led, from the house near Savannah, and the
subsequent conduct Of his captors at New York,
OBTAINING him while two wri,s Of habeas cur
rus had been granted and served, and, Of con-
sequence, contempt Of the Court committed,
should demand the most serious consideration.
We hope this matter will he settled on the
broad principles Of law and justice.

appearance Of an executor Of the laws. Lloyd,
the clerk and accomplee OF Stevenson, arrived
with him at Savannah, but has no, accompan-
led him TO this city.
Stephenson is Of middling stature, rather thin,
about IS years Of age; his hair has become IN
usually white and Is of more than ordinary
length"
We are certainly Of opinion that it is due to
public justice that Stephenson should be open
ly examined, we doubt whether he is in frame
Of mind to give valid consent 10 dangerous
sacrifice Of his rights. We believe he is unap-
priced Of that danger.
Since writing the foregoing, We have learn
ed that habeas corpus has been allowed, re-
turnabe before the Recorder al O'Clock this
day. A statement made in morning paper,
duplicating Mr.. Parkins as accessory to the
secret detention Of Stephenson, was made OH
incorrect Information. The proceedings on the
habeas corpus will be regularly reported to-
morrow. We can entertain no doubt that the
rights of the unfortunate fugitive will be duly
protected.
