On Tuesday in Philadelphia, Judge Kane, of
the II. $. Circuit Court delivered his opinion in
the case of the Il. S. Marshal VS.. the Sheriff of
Philadelphia. 1t appears that two of the Deputy
Mnrshas are in the custody of the Sheriff of Phil
adelphia; under warrant of outlawry from the
Court of Quarter Sessions, of Luzerne county,
bpsed on mn indictment found there by Grand
Jury which charges them with riot, assault and
battery, and an attempt to kill fugitive slave
who cndeavoring 10 arrest him. This attempt
to arrest the fugitive occurred in September last
aud will be remembered by readers. The
hearing before Judge Kane was upon ahabeas
corpus, taken out to prevent the Realtors from
being taken to Wilkesbawe County Sent of Lu-
zerne) for trial.
The Judge decided That the Marshals wer res
ponsbe to the Court which issued the Federal
process under which they acted and could not be
tried by the Count of Luzerne. He stated that
while they were not responsible to the tribunal in
Luzerne for the manner in which they discharg-
ed their duties, they were responsible to the L.
s. Court, under whose mandate they acted, and
he should proceed to try the case on its merits,
and would hear such evidence as might be pro
duced to show that in the exection of their office,
they had or had not used more foice than was
ncce ssary.
In the course of his opinion, he referred to the
failure of several indictments issued by the Court
of Luzerne against the Marshas, and the pertina-
city with which new processes were gotten out
and he remarked that it was not surprising that
they were reluctant to be tried by u jury of that
county, and their reluctance to abide the decs-
ion of such tribunal, in no wise indicated that
| they were conscious of guilt.-R Dispatch.

we shall be much more likely to provoke

all this preparation is to lead to war. In

pernicious maxim, for preparation for war
seldom fails to bring it. indeed that is

fill the seas with ships having no other
purpose than to carry about instruments

them, and idle, unless employed in their

TAKEN BY SURPRIsE.-A letter from
San Francisco to Mr.. r. r. Harris, of this
city, from his brother. relates a curious in
cdont that occurred there q short time
since which we do not recollect having
seen in print. Her Britanic Majcsty's
exploring ship Ployerarrivcda at San Fran
cisco, a short time since, from the Polar
Sea, where she had been ice-bound since
1917, when she left San Francisco, some
years ago it was mere trading station
resortcd to but by few vessels in pur-
suit of hides, the town or place contain
ed only few adobe houses. The cap
tain and crew of the plover expected to
find the same San Francisco in 1854 that
they let in 1917. The CAP tain, therefore
sailed, l'o the bay without pilot, and
approached the city in the evening. He
was much amazed at the numerous lights
he saw. When he awoke from his dream
of seven years the next morning, he
found noble city occupying the site of
the ancient village of San Francisco. He
had known nothing of the Mexican
war the cession of California to the Uni
ted States, and the many other great
events that had taken place during the
time he had been locked upin the frozen
regions of the north.-Rochester Union.

The Operations in grain at this port
Tor the past week have been unusually
limited and receipts light.
Pork has come in freely, and transac-
tons in that line have been tolerabIy
heavy. There is but little dispo ition
among buyers to operate in wheat at ov-
er 81 ,00, but good samples ofprime white
winter sells at Sl,00al 10, and spring
81 GOAL ,03 but wheat is rather dull at
outside figures. Barley is much wanted
by Brewers and Matters, and best sam
pies sell at 90a95 cts, ordinary samples
to warehouses 50a70 cts. There is no
market for corn except for the retail
trade, for which purchases are made to a
moderate extent at 20a25 cts. per bushel
for ears. Oats are steady, and quiet at
20 cts.

tifsel says: F
The past week has been an active one
for our Pork packers. Receipts of Hogs
from the country have been unprecedent-
edly large and the quality superior to
anything ever seen in this or any other
market. This has been the general re-
mark among our dealers. Prices, never
theless have ruled low, the extreme strin-
gency OF the money market. and the very
large supplies of hogs, combining to keep
down the rates. During the greater part
of the week $3,00a3,50 was the ruling
cash rate for most of the pork Offering,
though few choice lots brought 1915,
and some purchases were made at the
same rate on time. The market for this
week opens at about the same figures
with rather better feeling apparent. 1t
is the impression of our dealers that the
quantity of pork packed here during the
current winter will largely exceed the
aggregate of any previous season.

The Fugitive Slave Law is re-

er. things, that if the slave escapes from
the custody of the Marshall, no odds how,
nor under what circumstances, the Mar
shall and his sureties shall be RESPONSE

perhaps little careful how they apply
