Rhode Island Feels the Grip OF Grant
1sm-A Manly and Earnest Protest
From Gov. Howard.
NEW YORK, March 6.-GoV. Howard, Of
Rhode Island, presented to the Senate of
that State yesterday a report Of the chief
constable relative TO the official interference
of United States Marshal COggeTshell at
the recent seizure Of liquors which were
under the protection Of the State. On pre-
senting the report, the Governor made a
speech, in the course Of which he said:
In the collision between the officers of
the State aud the United States, was
called on Uy q member Of the cOnstabulary
and informed Of an existing difficulty and
asked 60 interfere in the matter. Although
there was not a doubt in my own mind
that I might direct a portion Of the militia
" establishment 20 support the State
oriicers in the enforcement Of the law, yet
prudence required that the question might
better be decided by the courts than by the
Intervention Of the military. 1 therefore
directed the cOnstabulaTy 10 make no fur
thsr effort to seize the liquor then held by
the United States Marshal and the Chief
ofthe Police. As the result Of this has been
placarGed as a victory on the part Of the
United States Marshal and his deputy, l
agree fully with the universal opinion that
these attachment are COllusive and thinly
diguised shams, AMI 1 share the general
sense Of modification at the indignity
10 which our Commonwealth was subject
ed. 1 realize also the gravity Of the situa-
ton, and recognize it as our imperative
duty TO take measures for the early and
proper adjustment Of the question. There
have been dinned into our ears for the past
six months threats in regard to Fort Adams
and revenue cutters, but, 50 long as those
threats were words, and rude words, they
were treated as such. Yet when it is
gravely stated by a responsible and intelli-
gent journal that troops from Fort Adams
and the United States revenue cutter Sam
uel Dexter had been placed at the disposal
of the Marshal, it seems proper to ask why
is that done. 1t must be for the purpose Of
vaging war on the people Of
State who. from the date of
its settlement, have been noted
for their intelligent conservatism and pa
triotism. Your presence here, Senators, is
a mOckery and farce, if such proceedings as
these are sustained by the Federal Govern
ment. Your honorable judiciary and
executive may as well resign their Office,
and leave the control and direction of State
affairs TO the subordinates Of the United
States Government. No cTaver question
has been forced upon the State since its
first settlement. II is a vital question, for
in it are involved the sovereignty of the
State and harmonious relations with the
United States. The little State Of Rhode
Island is entitled on such pOiuts to equal
respect as the. larger States, or general gov
ernment itself
