CHICAGO, November 4.-G0vernOr Palmer
has written letter to the Attorney Gen-
eral directing him to present the facts in
regard to the killing Of General Grosvenor
to the grand jury Of Cook county.
Governor Palmer argues the act was the
result Of usurpation on the part Of General
Sheridan and others.
Governor Palmer, after alluding to tho
circumstances preceding the death of Gros-
venor, concludes:
II think you will perceive it is now the
duty of the Governor and the Attorney
General, and all other officers, to zee that
the laws are enforced against all the parties
concerned in these illegal and dangerous
acts. 1t is not necessary, in determining
upon the line Of duty to Be adopted. to the
inquiry whether the Mayor Of Chicago,
Lieutenant General Sheridan, and Frank +,
Sherman and his associates and supposed
subordinates, Who were the agents by which
the death Of Thomas Grosvenor was pro-
duced, in assuming powers they did not
possess, and which can not be conferred
upon them. were influenced by proper or
improper motives or purposes.
'They assumed to suspend the operation
Of the constitution and laws Of the State,
aud substitute in their stead law and mill
tary force to be defined and applied by
themselves. They by their lawless acts
attacked and insulted the dignity and au-
thority Of the State, and have by their dam
gerous example weakened public confidence
in the constitution and laws, and in their
attempt to enforce usurped and lawless au-
thority they have sacrificed the life of q
peaceable citizen.
Animated by the confidence have thus
expressed, and confident in the belief that
the State of Illinois, acting through the
proper departments Of it's government, is
capable Of protesting its own people and Of
enforcing the dignity and authority of it's
conjunction with the States attorney of the
seventh circuit. will bring all the facts be-
fore the grand jury Of Cook county in order
that all persons Concerned in the unlawful
killing Of Thomas w. Grosvenor may be
brought to . speedy trial."
