BOARD OF TRADE. The District of Columbia may at last con- gratulate itself that it hes the desideratam of a Board of Trade. After the action of the spirit ed meeting of last night it must be set down as athbing accomplished, Not only was the meet- ing @ large one, but it was composed of the right sortof men, those who are apt to accom- plish what they undertake, And sach of our more active business men as were detained from the meeting last night, have, in almost every mstance, expreesed their intention to join heart and hand in the enterprise. It has been wisely deciied by the association, we think, to invite the co-operation of all business men interested in the prosperity of the city; and We find it difficult to believe the siatement of a colemporary that some merchants present were silly enough *9 be “very much dissatisfied, be- cause gentlemen who are in no sense mer- chants, dealers, or traders, were permitted to join the association.” Ifsuch a feeling exists to any appreciable extent amongst the mer- chants of Washington the prospect for a Board of Trade is small indeed. In any of our large commercial cities there are wholesale merchants enough to organize and conduct a Board of Trade. Fhe wholesale mer- chants of this District may be counted on one’s fingers—we might almost say thumbs; and if the association is fortunate enongh to enlist in its ranks every ective business man in Wash- ington—merchant, dealer, manufacturer, or what—it will even then find itself not atall too plethoric in means, numbers, or energy, to en- able it to compete fairly with similar organiza- tions in wealthier cities. We are quite certain that every individual not mercantile, who bas taken part in this movement, has done eo simply from public spirit and a sincere desire to advance the prosperity of the city; and we doubt not that every person of this class will very cheerfully leave the whole thing to the merchants of the District, when the latter shall express their ability or desire to “go it alone.” The only fear is that mis- chievous utterances such as that made by our cotemporary shall incline them to let the enterprise alone severely in the start. But we are quite sure, from the character of the proceedings Iast night, and of the men con- cerned in the meeting, that no such narrow- minded feeling exists or would be tolerated for & moment. The meeting adjourned, it will be seen, to Thursday night next, for the election of officers. THE UNITED STATES TREASURER. Hon. Francis E. Spinner, United States Treasurer, has been tendered by Hon. Preston King, Collector of the port of New York, the position of auditor of the custom house in that city. Secretary McCulloch, however, declines to accept Mr. Spinner’s resignation, and he will therefore continue in the discharge of his present duties. The salary attached to the office of auditor is $5,000—the same as the position of treasurer. THE SOUTHERN POSTMASTERS. Suits for the recovery of money due the Government by Southern Postmasters, have been commenced by the Post Office Depart- ment, At the breaking out of the rebellion in 1861, the amount due the Government trom this source was a little over three hundred and sixty thousand dollars, but it is thought that the larger portion of it will be eventually re- covered. THE WHITE HOUSE. A large number of visitors were at the White Houte to-day, among them Senators Craigin and Segar, and Major Gen’! Crittenden. The rebel General Dick Taylor was also present fer the third time this week, but failed, as before, in obtaining an interview. PAY STOPPED- The Pay Department has, at the request of the Quartermaster General, stopped the pay ofa large number of officers until they render to the Quariermaster’s Department the returns and accounts required by them undefthe reg- ulations. —_—___ PARDONS, Another batch of pardon warrants, number- ing over one hundred, signed by the President, were sent to the State Department to-day, where they can be obtained by the parties for whom they are intended as soon as they re. ceive the signature of the Secretary of State, A 2 et PAYMASTERS, A large number of Assistant Paymasters have been notified to settle“up their acconnts preparatory to be musteredont. Itisestimated that on the Ist of November, at least, one han- dred will go out of service. wide el GONE TO NEW YORK, Chief Justice Chase left here last evening for New York, to be present at a meeting to be held there for the purpose of re-organizing the Chris- tian Commission. BETURNED. Lieut. Gen. Grant, who went to Philadelphia to be present at the organization of the fair for the benefit of the Soldiers and Sailors Asylum, returned to Washington this morning. a , DISMISSED. Capt. Jervis Cook, 6lst New York yvolan- teers, tried and convicted by court-martial on various charges, has been sentenced to be dis- missed the service. INTERNAL REVENUE RECEIPTS.

Lusby for rape upon the person of Octavie Roussean, ® child of about six years committed in thie District on the Svenine of Toaaksatving, jt The District Attorney hax moved the Court to enter a nolle in thecase. At the present term of the Court this defendant was tried on an indictment for the murder of this little girl and was acquitted, acquittal could not be given in eviderc con the trialof the defendant for the commission of the i caus this ast. guestion was not ‘red im chat case, ot a bave been iow. tul tor the jury to E' or to acquit him of this offense me Theindlet- ment ie thereiore ‘belore OUourt as though there been no trial for the murder.

The nolle pros, if allowed, will be the get of the Wourt, and will put an end to this prose. cution. The prosecution cannot be eaded unless the Court so orders it. This motion im- plies that much. Itisan application in effect by the Attorney, to the Court, that the Court shall make this order. If the sole an- thority in this matter rested with the District Attorney. be might at bis own discretion order the clerks to dismiss the ee without applying to the Court; This he does not pur butasks the Cour! to enter this nolle pres, This responsibility is with the Court, and the Court ought not to make the order Without satisfactory reasons shown. In the Queen agt. Parker,7 Modern Rep. case 116, the Court of the Queen's Bench directed that a ‘nolic prosequi ought not to be entered upan an indictment, but upon motion in court and leaye thereby obtained.” Holt was Chief Jus- tthat time and the decision entitled to respect. The Sovereign herself was pre- sumed to be silting in her own court, Her attorney, of bis own will, could not ter. minate a prosecution in which the public bad an interest, and which had been begun in her name and by her authority, without her leaye given Se the judges nied Ler perscon in the court. It iy and the office of the Attorney General to prorecute indictments, but he had no power to mise, settle or discontinue without ber permission. The act of 27th of February, Isl, sec. 9 (Brightly, p. 236,) pro- vides for the appointment of a District Attor- ney tor the District of Columbia, who shall take the oath aud perform all the duties re- quired of the district attornies of the United States. The act of 21th of September, 1789, sec- tion 35, (Brightly, p. 227,) defines in brief lan- guage the duties and powers of the district at- tornies of the United Statesas follows :—“There shall be appointed in each district a meet per- son, learned in the law, toactas attorney for the United States in such district, who shall be sworn oraffirmed to the faithful execution of his office, whose duty it shall be to prosecute in such district all yom nage a for crimes and of- fences cognizable under the authority of the United States, and all civil actions in which the United States shall be concerned.” The duty and power of the District Attorney here is therefore merely to prosecute. He can- not compromise, settle, or discontinue any presecution without leave obtained from the Court, and even in the latter case—that of dis- continuing a prosecution by entering a nolle prosequi—the act is not bis act, but the act and judgment ofthe Court. He may make a mo- tion to the Conrt for that purpose, as has been done in this case, but there can be no judgment that a nollie prosequi be entered ex: by the act of the Court itself. This thotio) power- less except to bring the subject before the Court for decision. If, then, the nolle prosequi beja judgment of the Court, the Court has right and the wer to refuse to make the order, unless it'be satisfied as to its propriety. 1 om aware that the late Chief Justice Taney, when he was Attorney General of the United States, in opinion dated 2th December, 1531, expressed a different opinion, buteven in that opinion he conceded that the Court might refuse, for satisfactory reasons, to direct the nolle prosequi to be entered on the motion of the District Attorney, and it seems to me that this qualification of the power of the District Attor- ney proves that the power does not belong to the District Atterney at all, but belongs to the Court alone. In the present case the District Attorney has not succeeded in satisfying the Court of the propriety of the present motion, no reasons whatever have been filed, and none have been given in apy form, except that the defendant bas already been tried and acquitted on the in- dictment against him for the murder of Octavie Rosseau, and that the present indictment for rape was found upon the same evidence by the Grand Jury. In answer to these reasons, I have tosay: Ist. That the acquittal in that cuse Was most unexpected the Court. 2d. That in the present case the defendant has not et been arraigned, nor has he pleaded to the ndictment, and it may be that when arraigned he will plead guilty to the indict- ment, and therefore the proper time for enter- ing the nolie prosequi has not arrived. 3d. It is possible and even probable that before the time of bis trial upon thé present indictment arrives new evidence may be discovered to es- tablish his guilt. 4th. That the crime in ques- tion was one of the most horribly fiendish that has ever shocked the sensibilities or awakened the fears of any community for the safety of the persons and lives of their young and help- less children; and that this prosecution onght notto be dropped and this defendant turned joose upon the community so long as there remains good grounds for 4 reasonable suspi- cion that after all that has taken place on the trial for murder, he may ultimately be discor- ered to be the monster who has committed this crime heretofore without a parallel on earth. And last, the defendant is now at large on bail and will therefore not be deprived of his liberty by the decision of the Court overruling the present motion, Anprew WYLIK. Judge Wylie also overruled the motion of Lusby’s counsel to quash the writ on which the accused bad been rearrested. The Court having been moyed by the pri- soner’s counsel yesterday to certify the ques- tion raised whether, when the District Attor- ney in writing directs a nolle pros, to be entered in a certain case, it is within the power of the Court to prohibit it and control such entry to the court in general term, it was granted. Upon inspection of the record by the prison- er’s counrel after the opinion was announced it appears the District Titocosy had omitted to give the written order to enter the nolle prosequi in the case and upon which the whole question on appeal is expected to depend. The counsel immediately procured this written order and filed it with the clerk. The order is in the foi- lowing words: U.S. agt. John F, Lusby, No. 2,344. Indictment for con now that is tosay,on is 25th day of October, in the year 1865, in o court, cometh the U. S. District Attorney, ward ©. Carrington, who for the United States in this bebalf prosecuteth and saith that he, the said District Attorney, will not further prosecute the said Jobn F. Lusby on behalf of the said United States on the indictment in the above entitled case. Therefore let all further pro- ceedings be altogether stayed here in court againet him, the said John F. Lasby, upon the indictment aforesaid. Epw. C. CaRRINGTON, District Attorney. This writ was endorsed: “The Clerk will please fill this nolle prose A Oct. 25th, 1565. — ec. C., U.S. D. A. After the usual business of the Court had been concluded the District Attorney stated that the counsel for the accused proposed to carry the case before the Court in general term when the question was to be tes! and he was glad of it. He did not intend to aveid any respon- sibility of which the law does not relieve h im. Judge Wylie said that the ‘was in the form of an order made by the Court. It was not such order, and the Court had overruled it this morning. His position as District Attorney was this: He had ae power to dismiss a pros- ecution withont the permission of the Court, if he had that power, the clerk would be bound to obey him. Mr. Carrington said that of course the clerk} was not bound to obey the District Attorney, because he is an officer of the Court. When a prosecuting officer comes in and says that he bas no fu reason to prosecute a case, and orders a nolle pros., then the legal obligation is upon the judge to order the clerk to enter a le pros., otherwise the man is uniawfully etained. For instance 2 A jury may render & verdict of not guilty, and the Court may direct the clerk not to enter st, and he will be bound to obey, for he is an officer of the Court; but the Court would unlawfully detain the man. The legal obhgation wu the Court requires its officer to enter a . When the prosecn- ting officer says he will mot and cannot prose- oute the further, is as strong as whens Judge says party is not guilty, and requires bim to enter the verdict. Mr. Bradley stated that he had examined the record and saw that it did not show the present case asagreed upon.
