Under the Impulse OF an excited public
opinion, thus suddenly evoked, grand
Jury was summoned at Alexandria, and an
Indictment found against Randolph. but
he was never arrested, though he disdained
safety in flight. Out Of the perplexity
arising from the novelty OF the case, and
the desire OF Jackson's superserviceaole
friends to exalt the affront above an
ordinary assault, II was suggested that
the chief justice OF the United States be
consulted. This functionary was the great
jurlst John Marshall, who. happening not
to be In Washington at the time, was sup
posed to be at his home in the city OF
Richmond; and one Potter, a clerk in the
treasury department, dashed through
Fredericksburg In a coach and four on this
GRAND OF consultation with the chief JUS
tice, or more properly, bearing letter OF
inquiry to Judge Marshall for his advice
as to the nature of the offense.
