The fact that Hibbard claimed Judge Blodgott’s construction to be In his favor was stated before the Jury, but witness didu't think the jury considercd that construction, 1le did not recollect any- body's having Lrought a report to the jury- room that Blodeett was opposed to an exmmnina- tlon of libbard’s affairs: nordtd he knos or hear thnt Blodgett was lostlle to the {nvestigation. There were fotimatlous, but they naver had any welght with him, Witness stated that Judga Bangs sold he would not present the indlctment,—thatho hada rizht to withhold it, and should do so; that he was confirmed in his position by the fact that Judge Blodgett had just satd to him (Friday evening) thut 1f anybody was responsible for the construction of the faw he (Blodgett) was, Prlor to this the question of construction had not beeo discusaed {n the jury-room, Several witnesscs had, however, been asked about it A deduction could be made ss to Judge Bangs' opinion from the questions ho asked. It wns that there wna a falr chanco for two con- structions. Mo did not give his 1easons for withholding the Indictment. Itreated with him whetlicr he should present 1ty and he had made up his mind that bo would not to it. Witness thought DBangs stuted that Judge Drummond had been cousunited, and that he told the jury If they wanted any Instriction In rezard to thelaw the” Court (Bludgett) would give it to them. Bangs told the Jury ho had met Judge Blodgett just before cominz into the room. Witness had the jmopreasion Judge Trumbull said lie thought §t woull be the duty of the Register to return all the fees, Four or five fn- lenzthy apiritual barangue when it is translated from Fapal pliraseology into the lanwuape of common speech, Preciselythesame thiugs were eald by the late Pope. Indeed, the only differ- ence botween the eplsties of Leo XITL uud those of Pius IX. is thatihe ncwer documents are somewhat more urba Both hear the stamp of the Vatican, Hoth are written in that curlous style of mingled unction and vagueness which {s 58 much o hereditary posseasfon as the regulations of the Papacy. Tt scems to matter Tittle whether the Pope has or has not sny sym- pathies with modern society, for he signs his naie to the same sot of phrases. It wouid b foolish to blaina or even wounderata literary ond theolozical monotony which is cntirely akin to tho wholo srirlt of the Papsey. An Institution which would be alwavs conafstent with itself, und which would ad@re«a all Chris- tian peoples, must abovs everything avoid originality, “The chief interest ot tho document comes from the Indiroct appeal which it mnkes to Prince Bismarck for the abolition of the Falk Jaws. ‘Fhe Church, ho is told, posscases such s power of turning aside the plague of Soclallsm as he will not find efther in the rigor of magis. trates or in the arms of sofdiers. But the Church must be freo hefore shio can exercise the full tneasure of her salutary iotiuence. Much the same kind of messaze was addressed to the French people aftor the war with Gurmany. ‘Thev were told thiat they had been disastrously defeated because they had not gone to maes or intrusted the teachinz of the young to the priesthood, but bad thougnt that progress con- sisted 1n the essentially (rrellgious edicts of the Revolutlon, For’,a time it secmed as {f the Vatican would ot lust make some {mpression on the thick crust of French fndiTerence or incredulity.

Ho asked me If the knowledge of that fact ‘rould offect my action. 1 told Lim ftwould not, oud be advised'me by all means then to serve. Atter the Grand Jury was charged and assem- bled, s nuwber of days were devoted 1o investi- wating petty crimiual cases.
