More about the Slave Case.
The Cincinnati Gazette gives new
chapter on the late Cincinnati Slave case.
and unfolds tale about the Marshal and
Secret Service Money, and the employ
ment Of U. S. troops. which shows 4 set
tied determination. as in the famous Bos-
ton case, to ride down the State authori-
tics at all hazards. We give the facts AS
stated circumstantially. and with an ap
parent knowledge of what It's sa, ing. in
the Guzeae:
While the late Slave trial was progress
ing IN this city the Unis ed State Marshall,
a. H. Robson, was in Washington, and
called on President Pierce for advice and
direction. The President told Mr., Rob-
son (they were talking socially tosether)
that the negroes must 60 back to Ken
tucky at all hazards. He then patted the
Marshal on the shoulder, and told him to
take just what steps were in his view,
ntcesssrys to effect this obiect--tt use
sound discretion and all would be right
that he Presiden,) had secret service
money enough at his command to pay all
expenses. 20
The Secretary Of War, then. at the re-
quest Of the President. gave Mr., Robson
an order on the Commandant Of The New
port Garrison for any troops he should
require to be marched over to Cincinnati
s Mr.. Robson then came back to Gin
cinnati with this order for soldiers from
Newport in bis pocket, and Immediately a
great number of additional special Mar
shals were appointed SO as to swell the
list to some three hundred.
On the close OF the trial, the certificates
Of these Marshals for their pay, were
brought upin great numbers. at about
fifty per cent, discount, and most Of them
bought by men who never had any mon
eY for such investments before. One De.
putty Marshal who kept doggery with
in four doors Of The Court room, had six
hundred dollars to buy up these certih.
Gates Of his brother deputies. Who they
operated for we do not know, but we pre-
sumo the person who furnished the funds,
knew there was secret service money e.
nough to pay all the expenses.
/ In the terrible crisis that Mr.. Robson
apprehtnded, Immediately after his re-
turn from Washington. every body seems
to have been appointed a Deputy Mar
shal, that would or could serve, and some
that could not. One man who drew a
warrant for twenty eight days service.
was out Of the city full ten days Of that
time. What discount he made on his or
der we have not learned.
