Judge Drummond addressed the mem hers of
the inquest, stating, in subs tance, that among
the eleven bills now brought in to court he had
learned that some were against parties i'm plica-
ted IN the late rescue OF an alleged slave girl
from the officers of the law having her In Gus.
tody as a fugitive slave from the Territory of
Nebraska. When the Grand Jury had been or
ganlZed week ago this degradation had not
been committed, and consequently they were
Iguorant that such case would come before
them. However unpleaSantit was to Northern
preJidices, 1t was the duty of all good citizens
10 sustain the laws and the Constitution of
the United States, more particularly since cer-
tain Southern traitors appear to show an ex-
ample of trampling upon the laws that govern
this Republic. The laws OF the land must be
sus tanned, and the Grand Jury here present,
by their oaths, have sworn TO do so. He was
glad to find that they had the courage to do
their duty on the present occasion, however
unpleasant it was to til
The Times gives the following additional
particulars with regard to the arrest;

tice of the Peace; George Anderson, Republi-
can Deputy Sheriff; Isaiah II. Williams, Repub-
lican Lieutenant OF Police; Holland IL. Har-
ris, Republican City Policeman; Edward

celor l.. Janks, Republican practitioner of
law; Daniel Webster, negro; Benjamin
Mercer, negro; Henry Lisbes, fprobably
Isbell,) negro.
Itis stated that the jury narrowly escaped
bringing ia an indictment also against Alder
man Joy.
The nine nulliders whose names are given
above were the leading and most active parti-
cipant is in rescuing the negro. They are all
prominent Republicans, having the confidence
OF their party, and all but one of the whites
have received the endorsement of their party
in being the recipients of profitable Offices
The one W no is exception has also been An
applicant to his party for office, aud only failed
TO receive 1t on account Of personal unpopu-
larity, and not because of any unsou ndness on
