The House of Lords on the 9Th delivered judgment
in the Aleranda Six legal Lords were present.
The Lord Chancellor first gave his judgment.
He argued that under the provisions of an act known
as the Queens Rememhrancer Act, there was 10 au-
thor to make such rules the Barons OF Exchequer
had made. He therefore moved that the appeal of the
Crown be dismissed with costs. Lords st. Leonards,
Chelmsf0rde, and Kingsdowne concurred, while Lords
Cranworth and Wonsedale were in favor of the ar
ing of the appeal by the Exchequer Chamber. The
appeal was therefore dismissed with costs.
The London Times remarks that the fiGa decision
has been pronounced technicality subtle and mar
row beyond even the ordinary nsrrowness of law For
the present the victory remains with the defendants
But it s impossible to suppose that the Government
will acquesce in the law laid down by the two Sc
nior judges of the EXchequer fail to bring any
offender to account it should necessae another
struggle in the courts OF law
The London Times adds If the Foreign Enlistment
Act be Insufficient to repress enterprises endangeripg

the Legislature than trust that In future case,
resort to bill of exceptions will carry the main ques

a :I.ale Plain Talking.

4 contemporary, the Fayetteville ObSel GER, we think,
has very properly replied the charge brought by
North Carolina soldiers against the North Caroliua
ent actions in which North Carolina troops may be
engaged by retortug the accusation North Carolina
soldiers and offers are themselves to blame. They
seldom or never think it worth while to write to The
papers in their own State. When they do write OF al
they are much more apt to write to Virginia papers,
How can they expect North Carolina editors to pub
lish what ig no. sent to them Can they know things
by intuition? Can they afford special correspondents
with every corps in the field Not much, we think.
We were reminded of this one day during the pre-
sent week, when an ardent friend of the Navy (not
stronger than we are) wondered why did not give
flaming and crcumstantal account of the cruise of the
Raeigb and roundly taxed with prejudice against
the Navy.
Now, would it be believed that the only communica-
ton we received about the cruise of the Raleigh from
New Inlet was from Fort Fisher-from an officer of
the army. We gave ell we could get. We tried to
find cut and did fad out the main facte. We cannot
know particulars byntution, aud we lack the poetic
faculty for the invention of details. Possibly, in
deed probably, some person who Has on board the
Raleigh may hereafter write may perhaps have al
ready written account to paper at distance
and in another State. Will We be to blame for that
By the way, We learn that the difficulty with the
Raleigh consisted in her rudder-chans having got foul
the propeller going out. This although repaired or
fixed still interfered with her steering OherW the
ship behaved very handsomely.
