charged the Grand Jury this morning.-
He called attention particularly to the at
tack of the mob on the military on the
10Th Of April. that the gully might be
brought to punishment.
After reciting the occurrences of the
10Th o. April. he says it is your duty. gen.
tiemen. under the solemn oaths you have
taken. impartially to inquire into these oc-
currences and present such persons as bore
part in the riot. The very existence Of So
ciety depends upon your faithful discharge
of this duty. You will inquire wheth-
er there was preconcert and prepara-
ton, and by whom. You are bound to
present those who aided in obstructing the
Rsilroad. prevented the safe march of the
troops, and assisted in impeding their pas
sage. At the same time it is your duty to
inquire whether any of our own citizens
were, without justification or provocation,
fired upon by troops and killed.
Besides the loss of life, the violence done
to property. the breaking into stores. the
assuming Of unlawful authority. the ir-
regular and illegal arming Of troops, the
attempt by organizations unknown to the
law to usurp tho lawful government, also
deserves your attention. st..-4..s.
The Judge concludes that the poten,
voice of law should be heard above the din

gone. There will be nothing left of our
social frame worthy Of an effort to pre-
serve. edt u igaWnfayoJ laE9Eoat els ~
