LOCAL INTELLIGENCE Caimisat Count —The Election Riots. — terday, after our report cloxed— ° The Court decided the point in relation to calling of new evidence on the part of the prose- -ention; that the evidence pri to be adduced ‘was only in ee the evidence in chief ang ees Propose Sai entt John Rainbow to give Pan tans A ation to thespiking of the gun: he stated that he expected to Ley that Se tern wane way Sem the arene of the ricts on that day. : Mr. Bra@ley objected to the evidence, saying that it was plainly evidence in chief, or confirm- atory evidence, and, as such, could not be ad mitted. The Coust heid that the evidence might be ven, as the United States had elicited no evi- fae on that point,and it was clearly rebutting testimony. Mr. John Raindow, onal oA Bose Pe either on that day or the ler; was invitec. to look at the gun; advised that it be spiked; took a square file and drove it in the tonch hole an inch and a half, and there was no obstruction or resist- ance to the file as it entered | Cross-eramined —The charge was being witii- drawn when this took place; witness did not ex- amine the bore of the gun after it had been un- loaded; drove the file in some two inches; it might have gone in further, as pepper te to ruct its ; Was not positive that it was on the same day or the day after the gun was captured; it was in a small room in the basement of the City Hall, in charge of the chief of police; does not Know where the gun is now. witness is aship carpenter, and is well acquainted with guns. Alexander Patterson, (marine,) sworn —After the gun had been captured, witness put sand and brick dust in the touch bole, pounding :t in with a stone; this was to prevent its being used against the marines had it been recaptured Cross-ezamined —Witness did not examine tbe touch hole before pounding the sand and brick in it; witness tried his. best to fix it so that It could not be discharged. Patrick Kearnay, (marine,) sworn. —Neversaw Mr. Noakes till after the firing was over; never pointed a musket at him; Whitehouse was not near witness; witness was in the rear rank of the third platoon from the left: Whitehouse was in the second company on the right of the line Cross- ramined.--Witness fired once. and sc toaded; could not see for the smoke; was struc on the head with a brick, and fired ‘to the front; was opposite the corner when he fired; was the third man in rear tlank from the extreme left; the emoke was so thick between witness aad the corner that he could not see half way to the cor- ner; no one from that corner could have seen wit- ness. Major Zeilia, swoin —Commanded the first company of marines on the first of June. Mr. Key asked the witness if Le. was with Capt Tyler when the committee waited on Lim, and heard the reply of Capt. ‘Tyler. and whether he didn’t say to them, ‘: Then, we'll take the gun??? Mr. Bradley objected to the question. Over- Tuled. William L. Ross, sworn.—Knows James R Riley; never requested bim to go to Capt. Tyler: did not see him that day; was not up so bigh as the market-house that day. Mr. Bradley asked the witness whether Mr Riley did not say to him on yesterday that he did not recognise him to be the man who was pointed ont to him as officer Ross, on election day, and requested him te go to Capt. Tyler with a mes- sage to take the marines away? ©. Key objected to the question, and it was raled out 7 the court Mr. Brad ¥: excepted to the ruling James R. Riley was calied, and Mr. Key ob- jected to his being examined. He stated that the defence had closed their case. The question with them now was, whether Mr. Riley having said in his evidence that officer Ross sent bim to Capt. ‘Tyler, they could bring him back to make cer- tain qualifications tn his tesilmony of yesterd The point was debated at some length by District Attorney and Mr. Ellis Mr. Bradley said that the counsel for the prose- ention had no — to have had Mr Ross’s testi- ) mony given to the jury without his having been identifled hy the witness Riley; that Mr. Ross having been sworn and having given his testi- mony, it was due to the witness that he should have an opportunity tuexplain himseif and be ex- ealpated from the imputation sought to be put upon him by the evidence of Ross. He submitted that that was his right and privilege, and that it ‘was the province of the Court to ailow him that tight, he being here under the protection of the Coart Mr. Key replied, alleging that he had an un- ttoubied right to have the rule of the Court strietiy enforced in rezard to admitiing testimony on the part of the defence after they had closed their case The Conrt decided that.the witness might be recalled and say, and only say, what he said yes- terday in relation to Officer Ross ‘The witness was recalled. and said that be said | yesterday that he did not know 2 the time tbat the man was Ross, but that be was afterwards told that it was Ross. Mr. Ross was brought into Court, and the witness failed to recoznize iim as the man who sent him (witness) to Capt. Tyter On being cross-examined by the Distiict Attor- ney in relation to his knowledge of the face of Mr. Ross, the witness acknowledged that he had khown him by sight since last March one year azo, and that he knew his face wel! up tothe first of Jape, since which time he had not seen him Mr. Key here announced that he would rest the case, aud proposed to let it goto the jury without argument, with the consent of the counsel for the defence Mr. Bradley refused to accede to the preposi- tion, and the Court adjourned. ELEVENTH Day The court met to-day at ten o'clock. Mr Key asked two instructions of the court to the jury, which he read to the court, and they were objected to by the connsel for the defence. ‘The first instruction was as follows, viz: ‘That Mf the best believed from the evidence that the Mayor of the city of Washington made au appli- cation to the Secretary of the Navyand the Presi- dent of the Uuited States to a the — to assist in rving the public peace. and the said maatines were severdingly ordered out 7 the Secretary of the Navy and the President of the tn States, and were marched by direction of tue Mayor to the pince of disturbance, in the first precinet of the Fourth Ward, they were there ity; and the act of closing the polls in conse- fegally; quence of the marines betng ordered the-e was an legal act; and that ail persons whe acted in a violent and turbulent manner were gulity of a tiot.”? Mr. Scott said that he could net admit such a point to be allowed, of the right of the Secretary of the N jo call out the military under arms and give the discretionate authority to the Mayor to use them as he might think best. The Presi- dent had no right to use the military force of the United States, Ina proper case, to quell or pre- vent a riot; he might use the means which were provided by law, and such means only; he con- tended that the constructions of the Court of the article in the constitution in relation to the execu- tton of the laws, had an important qual!fication. A justice of the peace had authority to make others keep the peace; sheritfs, constables, marshals are peace officers; all have the like authority; asheriff charged with the process of a court has author- ity to summon his posse to aid him; butali this authority pertains to all these officers only in certain cases, these means provided by the law are only to be resorted to wi these means are necessary. If the Marshal of this District re- cetves authority to summons or execute upon cit- izens of this District, has he the power to zo inte the streets to summon a — to assist him to execute” With certainty does that authority be- Jong to him only when resistance is made to such execution of the laws. Yet, if the act of the President or Secretary is beyond question—if the aet of the Mayor is beyond question—if the dis- cretion of the parties !s to be the law on that occa- sion—how long will it be befoie military ruie tixes its fron grasp upon as? The laws of Con- xfees give a municipal charter to the people of this District. It confers upon ther legislative powers. It provides for stated elections; time and place is prescribed for the election, and to prepare the points or places of election and of wiving the votes. fas the President the right, of any subordinate member of the Cabinet, of their own heads, or at the suggestion of the Mayor, to march the military to thes? places and make the citizens vote through a fle of marines? if they have the right,at their will, there must beacall existing to justify the o:deting out— there must be something to make the act neces- sary. Now, what cireumstance< can make such an act necessary, OT excuse it? If the Peace ts disturbed—if riots oceuror affrays—the law im- poses the duty on the civil authority of that com- munity to suppress it; and im the m@ins of discharging that duty. ‘Fhe Mayor has his po- tee, his Auxtiiary. Guards. He has the power to increase this foree byespecial appointment. The saw imposes the duty on them of suppressing, and provides the means of suppressing those riots or disturbances. If all this is not so, your mar- shal may go with a tile of marines to execute a summons—the United States military may be used for almost any peaceable purpose in the walks ef life. When this mili was called out there was no justifiable cause, there was ab- solutely none. It is necessary that it should be stown, in this case, that there was a lawful ne- cessity existing at the time before calling out the military Mr. Scott then went on to read the second in- straction asked by the District Attorney, whicit is as follows : “If the jury believe, from the evidence, that the commissioners of election at the said cinet of the;Fourth Ward closed the polls of the said precinet for no other reason than the one given— (hat fs, the presence of the said marines—then the act of the said commissioners in closing the said poils was an illegal act ; and that the Mayor, by virtue of his office and in execution thereof, possessed fall power and authority to order the aad to be j and ail persons acting together in creating the necessity for calling out the marines were guilty of a rjot° @Mr = asked whose duty it was to open the >and combuct the election He apprehended it would be found that the duty was conferred upon those commissioners who were — of the clection; that to their honor, integrity and discretion the law confided the faithful conduct of that eicction; that they were the of the manner and the time for receiving. with no ay ca treme their oat which eae as t provides, eng: T- formance of their duty, when quate —— around them, and the citizens’ HJ ee’ i at their —_ a — = Unit ites mi y pa upon the ground, with loaded fosoriart fon flashing ba is. to eectionne in the business of that election, ‘The District Attorney exalts the Mayor into an officer, in command of a military force, to dictate to the judges, and to order those judges; the pro- position is confined to the simple fact of opening the polis; but he goe’ further, and say Tat he has power to open the polls, and te proceed with the election; and it is but one step further to com- mand how they slall proceed with the election, and to say If the peace was disturbed, who dis- turbed it; if a riot occurred, who occasioned it; he epreehrnaed, the military. If the Mayor, with his army in array, transcended his right. had the people not the right to express disapprobation; to resist his assumed dictation’ As to the second proposition of the District Attorney, they asked the Court in effect to say that these commission- ers were guilty of a riot; he assumes as a fact what is matter of proof, to be expressed at the termination of the tria!. The Mayor had a right. for a proper reason and for sufitcient cause, to call ont the military; but in no case is this to be done in the absence of that canse, or the President to be the Marshal of this District. He closed by s.y- ing, that he apprehended that he had pointod out in a lucid manner the reasons which the counsel for the defence had for refusing to accede to the extraordinary propositions of the District Attor- ney. Mr. Key proceeded to read to the Court, from the Charter, the laws governing the conduct of municipal elections. Mr. Bradley p:0, 0:ed t» offer law authorities in relation to the points contained in the proposi- tions of the District Attorney. He entered bis Protest against those propositions in a most em- Phatic mannct, thet an rrresponsible diseretion was vested in the Mayor or any other civil olficer, either by the laws of this country or of England; he referred to the case, among others. of the Brit- ish pes = r — in the Commo Law Re- rts of England, in sw rt of his pusition Pan. B. went on to say that the first thi to be considered by the jury was, Was {t an unlawful assemblage? Was there a breach of the peace? if there was none, then the marines were nla fally called out. Jt might be an unlawfal cs- sembly in a very slight degree. then there was no pretence for calling ont the military. such cases must depend upon their own circumstances. The jury was to jndge, under the particular circum- stances, whether the Mayor usei more violent means than were necessary to disperse the mob. ffe apprehended that it would not be determined that the discretion of the magistrates in this coun- try went further than jt did'in England. If there is no law to justify the Mayor in his course, then we are jnstilied, and could, toall intents and pur- poses, resist any unjustifiable and Irresponsible exercise of much discretionary power. Mr. Bradley is speaking on the lastructions as this report closes.
