escorting his successor to the Palace retired to
his country seat, and General Concha was driv-

Important Decision.
The two Buchanans and Grant who were
indicted by the Grand Jury of Chicago, for
kidnapping an alleged slave, have been dis
charged by the Chief Justice of the Supreme

that the prisoners have been unlawfully de-
tanned, that the power of attorney given by
the owner of the slave was sufficient to arrest
him without the assistance of the officers of
the law, and that they had perfect right to
use whatever weapons they found it necessa-
~ to employ, in securing that arrest
