THE HAyEAs CORPUS CASE.

The case of tho United States Marshals before
Judge Leayitt, was to have been decided on the
10th inst. At the time Of writing we have heard no
report Of the result. Gov. Chase had an early
interview with Messrs. Mason and Good, who ap-
peared in behalf Of the arrested citizens. and in
view Of the nature of the question, involving as
1t does the right of Ohio to execrt to her own laws
and protect her own citizens, he Immediately re-
ouested Attorney General Wolcott to appear on
the part Of the State in conjunction with those
gentlemen. This movemen we are glad to see.
The Governor certainly could have done no less.
In the mean time the Democratic papers are flleo
with agony about the anarchy" rebellion" and
resistance to law" which they see in the move
ments of the Ohio authorities. The Judge,
even lie assailed for granting a writ of hd6edS
corpus in favor of the four kidnapped men. The
citizens of Champaign, Clark and Greene counties
are not vet disposed to submit in ~quietness to the
outrage. The UrJanna Citizen of last week
says:
We hold these Marshols responsible for all the
trouble and excitement that has grown out OF
this affair. 1t is we'll known that there was nc
resistance interposed by the citizens OF Goshen
township. when they made the attempt to arrest
Addison, the fugitive. On the contrary, MIR,
HYDE, at whose cabin the fugitive was, told them
yery frankly that Addison was there, and to take
him if they could they tried the experiment,
but we're bafHed by the bravery of the fugitive
whose motto was, "gice me liberty, or gre
me death Mortified and chngrined at their III
luck in securing the negro, another excursion
was planned by the officers OF the Government
not to catch the negro-for they had no desire
TO encounter him again, even IT he had been 10
the neighborhood-but to arrest and carry OIL to
a distant city, citizens of the neighborhood, on
charges of 'harboring and concealing"' this tu
pitive. On this warrant CHARLES and EpwARI
TAYLOR, brothers, young HYDE, and HIRAM QUIT
RIDGE were arrested, and when asked to show
their authority by citizens of the town profanely
swore they were officers of government, and nj
one had a right to question their authority
They we're then asked whether they would TAX,
these men though. Urbana, which they promised
TO do. but turned off a few miles east of town
which gave rise to suspicion that all was no
right. Had the Marshals brought these men t
Urbana and submitted to an examination OF the.
authority, they would have met with no resist
ance. and no objections would have been inter
posed to their taking them to Cincinnati. Blu
thew chose to act otherwise, and manifesting thu
Border Rufian Disposition they did, our citizen
were justified in doing just what they did in TIT
premises. In the language of the Aenia New
1.-THE people of Chamgaign county, like TIT
people Of all other parts Of Ohio, do not like t.
see their neighbers seized, handcuffed and march
ed off to a distant city for the offence Of no
helping a pack of slaye catchers do their dirt
work; and we do not believe they will permit it
Fugitive Slave Law or no Fugitive Slave Law.
