THE LIkBftITY OF CIVn OFFICERS Ac.
TING, WITHOUT AUTHORITY OF LAw.-Just
after the breaking ont of the rebellion, there
was a very natural excitment in the public
mind,s which, in some instances, exhibited
itself in violence BY mobs towards the persons
offHdi viduals, and in other instances to the
unauthorized action Of public iunctionaries,
who; Under mistaken zeal, did things which
were illegal, and for which they are now held
responsible in suits at law. One of the most
fasfaut trcspasses upon the rights OF indi.
vidual property was that committed upon the
proprietor Of the Jeffersonian new spapef
whose Office was seized and the owner dispos
sessed by an order executed by the United
States Marshal ofthis city. having been issue d
by the District Attorney, upon authority, IS
stated, of the War Department, q fact which
does not appear to have been distinctly proved.
The cause has bceu h, ard in tho Mist
Prihs, and II went to the jury on Wedncs csday,
under charge from Judge Lowrie, in which
hc distinctly declared that the act was a viola.
tiOn Of the plaintiffs constitutional and legal
rights, for which the defendants were rcspon.
sible in damages. Yesterday the jury rcturh.
cd verdict Of damages to the amount Of $50,
This case shows the liability incurred by
officers where thoy undertake to act without
authority Of law, and it will have tho effect Of
restraining them hereafter within tho clearly
defined limits of.hoir legal asshority In a
time Of high political distssbaice, such as the
rebellioa' HIS produced when tho safeguards
of constitution and thu laws seem to be in
danger it is.a good sign to see tha. courts and
jnnries are SO little disturbed by the commotion
that they can deliberately dispense justice ac.'
eording to established principles of law.4
