Thore ts Just enough micertuinty on this question of juris- diction to give aman of abilitya wide feld on elther side of the case. The question of Jurtsdletion arises from the circumstance that the wound was Inflicted in the District of Columbia and the death took place in tho State of New Jersoy, the erlminnl laws of the United States not being in force In New ger- sey and those of New Jersey not being In force inthe District of Columbju, Messrs. Little & Brown have Just Issued a publica tlon called “Points of Law Suggested by Qniteaw's Case.” ‘This timely publication contains papers on the varlous poluts lkely fo arise In this ease, and among these papers are two onthe question of Jurisdiction. As these papers present this point of furlsdic- Hon in all its aspects, we give so much of them asis necessary to furnish the non-pro- fessfonal reader with an wnderstanding of thein,. Tho first fs the presentation made by J, HL. Robinson, Assistant Solleltor ot the ‘Treasury, He takes the ground that the sixth amendinent to the Constitution pro- vides that an neensed person shall be tried in the State and district where the erlma shall have been committed, which district shall have previously been ascertained by law, Was Gulteau’s crime of murder com- mitted in New Jersey or in the District of Columbian? At common law murder, like other offenses, must bo inquired of in the county in which it was committed. On one slio there are high authorittes for saying that st common fiw oa trint might al- ways bo had in the county where tho mortal blow wns given, for that atone Ix the aet of the party, and death is but the consequences yet Lord Tale declared that “as to some respects the Inw regards tho denth as the consummation of the crime, and not merely the stroke.” ‘Lo remove this doubt the statuty of Edwatd Vi, 34, enacted that where aman died In one county from wound yeeelved in another hestould be tried where death took place, Dut this statute of Kadward V1, Is not in foree in the District of Columbia, 111 1801 the laws of Maryland, as they wore atthat date, were continued iu force {nthe Distrlet. By declslons of the courts of Maryland and of the Supreme Court of the United States this statute of Kdward was hover In forge tu Maryland, and consequently never In the Dlatrict; and, Curthor, the State of Maryland In 1780 provided that when o anortal wound was Inilleted on one shore of that State and denth followed on the other shord the person giving the blow might be tried on elther shore, In England, by the statule of George 1V,, Ib was enneted that where ao felony Is begun In one county and completed in another it may be punished In olther county, and this Is the law of England at this thie, In Massachusetts It is provided that when wmortal wound fs inflleted on the high sens or on tha land, within or without the State, and the woundad person dies In the State, tho crlme may be proseeuted In the county where the denth takes place, In Michigun, under a similar statute, it was held that when fatal wound was given on a navigable fresh water river in Cunnida, and tha death took place {In Mich!gan,~ the crime was con- guumated In the Inter State, A law of Now dersvy glyes Jurisdiction in both events, A conviction was recently had where the wound Was Inillcted in New Jersoy dud the death took placo boyond the State. In Missourl It hus bocu held that the crime may be prose- cuted either fu the county where the blow was given or whero the death took place, Ln ‘Tonnegsee tho Jaw provided that the erie should be prosecuted where the “offense” Was committed, and itwas held that the of- fonse of murder was comiultted In the coun- ty where the blow was given, In lowa it was held that when a erluinal act is com titted In one county and completed ty ane other, the offender may be tndleted In elther county, : ‘Tho net of Congress of 1790 provided that A person committing murder in any place over which tho United States tid exelusive Jusisdiction shoud suffer death; aud that when such net fs committed on the blah seus He should be tried and punished in, the dis- trict where the offender was arrested or Drought; but under this Inst elausad it was held tn McGitl's ense that as the wound twas {niticted In the harbor of St. Frangots, and the death did not take phiee until after the wounded mnt was brought to the shore, the United States Court had uo Jarlsdictlon. 'This defect In the statute was remedled (1 is25.ng to murder by providing thas the per- son glying the wotnd of the high sung, and the wounded man dying on the. land, within or whhout the Jurisdiction of the United States, (he murderer may be trled in any of the United States courts. This stuttty re- lates only to wouuds given on the bith sens, Tie 1800 oan was wounded In Alexandria, iu the District of Columbta, and dled on the other side of the river Hi Marytand, and the Distelet Court hetd that ft had no furistietion of the erlie, In an net of Congress of Mareh, 1867, It was provided that, “when any offense shall he begun tu one jnitiehl distelet and completed In another, every such offense stinlh be deemed ty have been cominitted in efter,’ anidimay be pualshed aceurdingly. While tho District of Columbia and the State uf Now Jersey ave Judtefal districts, established by nw, there was a mistake made by tho couliers of the Revised Statitles In 18t4, 40 that (his section now reads “When any of fensets begun in any Judicial etrerit and completed In another, it shall-be deemed to have buen committed tn either, and be tried, determined, and punished tn elther district.” Now, the District of Columbia is. not in any Judiclal “erent” or “district” of the United States, though Now Jeracy is, dn 1863 Congress, by au net reorganizing the judiclary of the District of Columbia, proyided for n Supreme Court whieh was to have and exeretse all the powers of u Cireult Court of tha United States, At witl be seen from this review of the law, conunon and statutory, that there Is an nb- senesof any authoritutlye judicial deter- mination on any one of the many points which may bo raised as to the jurisdiction In thls ease, this being due to the puculiar po- Muleat status of the Disiriet of Columbia, Which ig under the exclusive Jurisdiction of the United States. ‘his question ts further complicated by the legal points suggested In the second paper on the subject, written by Robert D, Smith, of Boston, whose views in- cline against the Jurisdiction of the case by the courts of the District of Columbia. In this paper Mr, Smith says thatall of- fenses nzalust the Inws of she District of Columbia are recognized nnd declnred to be offenses against tha United States, and miur- der is one of these offenses, By n nicety of the common Inw, xs a grand jury could not inquire of a fret done out of the county for whieh they were. sworn when a man, wis wounded in ono county and died in another, the offender was at conmnon Jaw not indict able in either; but by the statute of Edward VL. ho was iniletable In the county whero the party dled. ‘This was undoubtedly tho common law of the colonies which became States of the Union, In tho opluton of most Amerlean jurists the erie of murder is not punishable at comion law unless the yie- tin: dleg within a year and a day, and withhy the Stute of the Union where the fatal blow was hutlicted or pofson administered, This hag been held to be the law of the District of Columbia In the ense of the United States ys. Bladen, 1 Cranch, ce. H48, his Js the case at Alexandria referred ta by Mr. Rub- ingon, when the wounded man was taken to Maryland and died there, In Massachusetts, an assault committed there followed by death In another State cannot be punished as murder, while in New Jersey the Inw ty alfferent, Other States huve slinilar statutes, but there Is no such statute tn the District of Columbia, 2 ‘The statute of 1867, referred to by Mr, Robinson, reading “Where any offense agalust the United States Is begun In ono Judicial elreult and completed tn another, it shall be deemed to have been committed in another,” ete, fs-elalmed as authorizing a conviction In the District of Columbla, But Mr. Smith points out that this section of tha Jaw was originally partof a revenue Iny, ond was Intended onty to apply “to crimes Which would be offenses aginst the United States, both In the district oreireutt in whieh they ara begun and in which they are completed.” On-this polut ho says: For Instance, If the victim strickon in the District of Coltimbla had died In Canada, the ease would come within the Bladen cage, and would not be coverad by tho provisions of tho Tovised Statutes any more than would the case of ane stricken In Canady and dying (n the Dis- trict of Columbla. Ayiin, if one wounded in Now Jersey died of his wound in tho District of Columbla, the pereon {utileting the wound would not be within the stunte, because the wounding in New deny: would not bo un offense agalnat ine Inwe of the Unitod States but against tho hiws of thd State ot New Jersey, and theroforo would not bo“ begun in ono distriet und completed in Mather, ‘Therefore it seems probable that the erimes referrod to In the Rovisod Stututes nro ae ane which woutd bo ulfenscs against tha United States in both tho district of inception and the district of completion.” ‘To constitute murder, Mr. Smith thinks, death must tuke placo within the furisdic- Yon where the blow was {nilicted, On the whole, hethinks it would have been more prudent for those having the case In charge to have the triul take place in Now Jersey, where thera is no question as to Jurisdiction under the statute of that State, {t will be sean how gloriously uncertain {s the Inw oven as to tho slinple question as to what court las the jurisdiction of a enso of Notorious and confessed mirder, YORKIOWN. ° ‘Yeatarday was commenced the real cele- bration of tho moat glorious event in the bis tory of our country, porhaps the jmost glorl- Ougeventiu the history of any country. It §s the celebration of the triumph of right over tight, of popular right over the ean- queror’s privilege, of progress over repress lon, of freedom of specel, thought, and av- tion over furce and arroganee, ‘Nhe Amori- con patrlot army, we aro told inthe chron- {eles of the the, hatl from the dh te the 2th of Octobor attacked the enemy with so much vigor “that the cnamy’s firo was silenced and Our approaches adyanced within 400 yards of thelr lines, . ... and the news of Corn- wailis’ surrender was hourly expected"; tho French fleet In the harbor whieh fiad been sent to the assistance of our fathers by the ever-gencrous, chivalrous French natton, preased thelr advantage, and on tho 17th of Octubor, 1781, Count de Cirasse was enabled to forward an account “vy water” to the Governor of Maryland wniouncng “the surrender of Cornwullls and his army.’ We cannot ovat now overestimate the Iniluenco of the victory on the patriot army, The year 178 opened inauspiciously fur that patrlot band; the long and hitherto un- auecessful contest hud told on the Colonists, Many who had token wldes with Washing- ton, and Henry, and Ianeock at flrat had be- come chilled by disuppolntment, or had be coms apathetle In the patriot cause because they saw no chauce fur success, and wished to stand well with the powers with whom was the victory so far, The credit of the Continental Congress was ut a very low ebb, “movement and and the army was ina sorry plight, destitute of everything but indomitable pluck, geior patrtotisin, and astern and unshakable faith tin their glorious leader. Some tem porlzers preached peace, Dut Washington, Franklin, Wayne, aa Morris would not. listen, ‘They hat entered on a desperate striiggle, ‘They had urged suerittees, ‘They werd prepared to sveriiice all themselves, Tho Pounsylvanians, whose fathers, as Frome tells us, were driven from Ireland to wreak vongeanes on Britain {i America, contributed thelr all to the support of the patriot army, and who urged the lenders te deeds worthy of thelr own wlorious sires, were the nitimating, inspiring.

Washington answered that If Cornwallis proposed tasurrenter tine would be allowed to settle the terns, and gave two hours for an answer ‘Tho answer wis an Uelpated. ‘The surrender followed ii due fine. ‘The end was near, Uritain hil to xeknowdedge the bravery of the American army, the fustles of the cause for which Washinton and ils compatriots took up arms, ant fts own Diunders; and two years liter signed the treaty whieh acknowl- edged tho hidependence of the grentest Na- tlon of motiorn Umes—a Natton whieh, ag It now stands, Ciesar’s dumalns did not equal Ty extent, which has nearly Gwice the nun ber of people of the country from which It forcibly severed Its vonneetion, whose unde veloped wealth ean only be Imugined, wid whose iaterlal prosperity ling not been equaled Tn modery or ancient times—a veritas ble dand of milk and honey, amare feulttul, more. bountiful than that which Moses saw from the lights of Nebo, and ag beautifal as that valley whieh Jolson pletured forth In grotesque deriv- atives; the refuge of the oppressed In other lands, the huine of the most manly race the world has yet seen, whose men are truly of men the chief, ‘The American people, while rejoleing to- day over thelr fathers’ victory, white cele- brating the victory over the houghty Power which would Haye made us 8 mere tributary province, 2 sort of tralning-ground for amn- teur statesmen, a sort of hospital for linpecu- nlous placehunters—should not forget how much they owe to the elilvalrous mation which cane to the resene of thelr fathers at the eritleal moment, which has ever evinced the warmest sympathy with us, whieh has been so pleased with our progress ns “hn goverumont of the people, for tha people, and by the people” that they hava copied our example.

Aduiinistration, and thero was no tne ducement for Maynard to apply hhnself vory assiduously to the tusk of learning the busi- ness, especially as so experfenced and enpuble an ofticer as Tyner was belleved to he acting ag his Heutenant, Consequently, ‘Cyner continued to ran the department. It was during the period when Tyner was tho actual head of tie Post-Olliee Department thut the star-route frauds were conceived nud developed, ‘That clreumstanee of itself 1s stilletent to warrant his dlsiuissal, It is not necessary that Mr. "I'yner should be convicted of a parttelpation tn the bene- fits of the star-route frauds in order to tale his removal desirable. Dut the story which cones from Washington hag a strotig {nti- mation that such was the ense. It is sald that, after mnking an extenstye tour of in- spection ® couple of years ago, Tyner re- turned and wrote, out a report In which he oxposed tho extravagant and corrupt prae- tiees In tho star-routo service, and that he thon suppressed the report. [6 Is further sald that, Instead of denowneing the frauds which fa discovered, he used he Infiitcnes with Congressmen (obtained by the manipue lation of patronage under his control) to se- eure the additionnt appropriations for the contltiucd support of the star routes, The intimation of this story is that Tyner con-,| vinced Brady oud tha contractors’ ring that heknew af! about tholy operations, that he held his report over their heads, and that ho consented to help-them if they would do his bidding. {¢ fs salu that Postmaster-Gencral dames found this report, showed It to Presl- dent Arthur, and thus secured ‘Tyner’s prompt removal, ‘Chat Tyner hud the confidence of the star- route ring sees pretty clear from the fact thut the ring mado n desperate effert to have him appotnted Postinnster-General when Garfleld becaine President. But Uartleld not only refused to make such appolitinent, bub selected tho very man to whom the ring wns most hostile, Tho animosity of the star-route ring to Col. James was explained soon atter hig appointment, for he proceeded at once to oxpose the frauds and tuke measures to re- duco exponses, 1f there were nu other reason for ‘Lyner’s removal than that Postmaster tieneral James desires hin to go, that fact would be enough under tho efrotmstances. Messrs, James and MacVeagh tiave tnder- taken a formidable work tt the prosceution of the rasenls who have been engaged in de- frauting the Government, ant they should not be embagragsed by the presence of nny one not in complete sympathy with them in. this matter, As a matter of course, Tyner would not Ike to see the case established agalust the thieves, because nt the very bost such a result would reflect seriously upon his management of tho department during the past few yoars, It Is fortunate that he “has Beon dismissed, and there {8 not much danger that a man who quits the publicserv- feu under such conditions ag surround ‘fyner will be abfe to do the Republican party any injury In Indlana or elsewhere, what: ever his {ufluence may have been in tho past. te IMPERTINENGE.
