What Congress ought tc DO in the premises, Is

this object will he accomplished by the seizures
made in this city on Saturday.
OF course, Roland G. Usher, the United States
marshal, has the legal custody of the liquors
after they are attached. Nobody disputes his
or his agents right to keep them, so long as he
confines himself to that, and he may relinquish
the possession of them by consent of the parties
to the suit. The question is whether the com
mand Of the court to keep them safely protects
him or the liquors from the penalties which the
State laws impose, not for obeying the command
of the court, but for violating both it and the
law. The law says that, on evidence that liquor
is sold in a building, it may be searched, and
the liquor found there seized and forfeited. The
marshal or his agent, having possession of the
liquor for a special pu'pose, would seem to have
no more right than any other citizen TO sell
it contrary to law, and the fact that he
is the marshal would not protect him
from the legal penalty for acts not in the line of
his official duty nor prevent the forfeiture which
would be incurred if any other person lawfully
in possession had made sales of the liquor. His
duty is to keep the property attached subject to
the order Of the court, and for failure in this
duty the party injured may hold him response
BILE. II by acts done or permitted by him the
property is forfeited under the state law the
consequences to all parties interested would
seem tolbe the same as if he had destroyed it,
and its value may be recovered from him, unless,
Of course, the party who would otherwise have
a right to demand it or its proceeds, has con-
sented to the acts causing the forfeiture. This
is the aspect which the matter presents to us;
the courts may possibly take another view.
