OUR ENFORNsERS.
Manly HnYecitYe by a Georgia
Judge.

From the Savannah Republicans We
clip the following report of proceedings
ia the United States Court at Savannah,
ia the Macon ArmOFy case The deuun-
citation Of spies and iEfJrmers, which It
embraces, will meet with the heartiest
response from ali good citizens
JUDGE LoCHRANE ON IEFORMERs.
Ia our hurried review Of yesterday, we
did not as fully as we desired, refer TO
the argument Of Judge LOchrane in the
Macon ArmOry case, IN the u. ). Dis
trict Court.
The Judge commenced q review Of pc
sitions assumed by Mr.. Stone, for the
informer, and reviewed the law quoted,
and scattered it by blow after bow Of
logic and law.
The Judge paid an eloquent tribute to
the Government, and SAID ne represented
lis power and prerOgstive TO pardon ali
offenders and Ot5Dses, aud protested IN
manly iavectiVe against infOrmefs rsis
ing their voice for the pSliry pittaDce 0f
private interest, to stop the mscaineTy OF
Justice and overthrow the power and
policy Of ths nation. He commented on
the laws of England as Cd the rights OF
infoTmers, demonstrated It's sOCrce, 0ri-
gin and power, and showed that they
had no vezted interest against tGe pro-
perty to defeat the policy of the Govern
ment in its restoration until after judg-
ment of record. We cannot follow the
Judge in his strong and overwhelming
argument ia this case, carrying convic-
tiOn to every mind by his copiO1s and
eloquent Illustrations OF the law, but we
should like, had We space, to give his
eloquent inYeetives against infOrne-s as
class. We will say, however, that he
denounced them as being the mesnest
things that stood under the protection
OF the American fl lg, and had right TO
claim the protection OF its laws-that
they breathed pestilence, disssnsiOn and
discord among the people, infected the
atmosphere OF justice with their prssencs,
festered the body polite with their stiug,
ha.ched here to crawl over the loyalty
and allegiance of the people, etc. His
words burned and blistered as they
touched, and st the conclusion be poured
a brosdside into the case which seemed
to be overwhelming.
