TOE FILIBUSTERING FEELING IN MOBILE. The Case of the Schooner Susan—Important Preceedings in Court-Jadge Gayle’s De- OUR MOBILE CORRESPONDENCE. Monme, Ats., Dec. 30, 1857. Intense excitement still prevails here, owing to the ex- waordinary course of Com. Paulding in invading a foreign State, making war upon Gen Walker, and taking him Prisoner from the oil of Nicaragua. An indignation meeting is called bothhere and at New Orleans. ‘The report to-day that Secretary Cass repudiates Com. Paulding’s course has little effect in allaying the excite- ment, ‘ ‘The decision of Judge Gayle in the case of the echooner Susan, tends to increase the excitement, The steamer Fashion is at Havana, awaiting means to return, not being provided with money to pay for her coal, and the schooner Susan is detained on the esumption that her cargo is destined for the relief of the bion, although it is consigned to a house at Grey- town. Gen. Walker’s return renders her clearance leas impor- ‘ant ; but the owners were determined to recover dama- ges for unlawful detention. I send you the proceedings in the cage of the Fashion:— UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT. [From the Mobile Tribune, Dee. 80, 1867.] The United Siates District Court convened yesterday ‘Morning, pursvant to acjournment, for a further pearing of the case of H. G. Humphries, W. A. Smith and B. F. Marshall, owners of the schooner Susan, now detained in this port'by the Collector of Customs. ‘The application made on the preceding day, by the @ounsel for the my eRe for a rule tg show cause why the Coliector refused @ clearance to the said schooner Susan was resisted by A. J. Requier, Esq., the Dwtrict Attorney, on the following grounds :— 1. The motion for a rule nist is not aside bar motion, and Brantable of course. Notice of such a motion is necessary ; apd there would be no reason for service of notice if the party notified had no right to contest. But apart from this consideration, the principle is familiar and well set- tied that the motion for a rule will not be granted unless the applicant show tums facie case, Such is the prac- tice m this State. (Ex parte Jones, 1, A. R. 15.) Such is also the practice of the Supreme Court of the United States. (Ex parte Taylor 14, Howard 3.) 2. The affidavit of the petitioners entirely fails to disslose a prima facie sase, The broad assumption of the affidavit OF petition is, that it is within the jurisdictional powers of a Circuit Court of the United States ‘to issue the writ of tan famus to a public officer of the United States to com- I the performance of a suppored ministerial act. Tho w bas been settled to the contrary by a uniform series of decisions made by the Supreme Court of the United States. These decisions assert and definitely fix the fol- lowing principless— 1, That the power to iseue a mandamus in the United States Circuit Courts is purely statutory power, the crea- tare of federal legislation, and entirely separate and dis- tinet from the, scope and incidents of the same writ at sommon law. 2. That the act of 1789, which confers that power on the Circuit Court, has specifically resisted its exercise to cases where the writ is*required to aid or further its jurisdic tion; and, 8. That ag a pecessary consequence tt cannot be isened to @ public cfficer to control hm ip ihe prtreoments of any Othoial duty whatroover, This. would be asserting orig pal jurisdiction by the writ &£.4 not using it in aid or fur. therance of jurisdiction already scquired. To sustain this ition he quoted the following cases:—Mclntyre vs. ood, 7 Cranch, 504, 3d Condeuse? Reports, 4. MoCluny vs. Silliman, 6 Wheat., 598, 5'Cop lensed Reports, 196; 4 Condensed Reports, 161. Smith y-. Jackson, 1 Paine ©. ©. R., 453. The rule Bere laid down applies vo all the Circuit Courts of the United States, with one single exception, ‘t for the United States in the District This was decided in Rendall vs. United ‘eters, 609, where that particular tribunal was he for especial reasons thereia assigned, to be an ex- ception, but where the rule was re affirmed and sanction ‘ed with increased explicitness and rigor as to all other Cireuit Courts of the Ueited States, As the law, therefore, now stands, the Greuit Court of the United States for the District of Columbia alone and exceptively pos nesses the power to issue the writ of madamus in a proper we, (that is where the act refused is purely punisterial,) to ap officer of the United States. It fodows fiom ‘thoee principles and decisions that the cage preseuted ‘Dy the petitioners is one of which this Court has no jaris- arctou, aud hence cannot assert it by issuing the ruie nici. lu relation to the Charleston case, quoted on the other side, (yesterday,) when aclearance bad been enforced by © aadamus—Judge Johnson, Circuit Judge, granting the wiit—the Asgistaut Attorney eaid that it Lad been express- ly repudiated by the Supreme Court of the United states— the very Judge who granted the writ below pronouncing ibe opinion of the Court, and explicitiy retracting bis dictum. He cited tn support of this, 3 Condensed Reports, 4; 7 Cranch, 504. It was therefore desutute of all force w authority, and served no appreciable purpose, except vo illustrate the slenderness of the references upon which his case was rested and sought to be sustained, The District Attorney having closed his argument, Hon. P. Walker, counsel! for ‘complalnante, followed, He advert- @) to the argument advanced by him to the Court on the pre- ‘ceding day which he would not attempt to recapitulate on the sent oocagion, and then said:—I shall not attempt to iow the gentleman in bis argument, nor do I feel dis- peed to consume the time or exhaust the patience of this tin re examining, in detail, the cases cied by that gentleman to sustain bis view of this case, I réadiiy feree with tle Attorney for the United States in his asser ton, that berore we can lay any claim tothe assistance of in hone Court, We mast show & prima face case.

An important case was brought up yesterday ia the United States District Court before Judge Gayle, It was ased on the refusal of the Collector of the Customs for the portof Mobile to grant @ clearance to the schooner Susan, bound for Greytown, Nicaragua. with coals and merchandise, Hon. Percy Walker, the counsel for the complainants, opened the case by calling the atten. tion of the Court to a motion for the issue of a macdamus which he intended to make, and he desired that the Court would grant the, rule nisi for the reasons set forth in the notice served on Thaddeus San- ford, Collector of Customs for the port of Mobile, and in the affidavit made and sworn to by the complainants. The notice served on the Collector and the affidavit of the complainants we give, as follows:— 1b Thaddeus Sanford, .» Collector of the Customs of Mobile, in’ the State of Alabama:—Notice {3 hereby *. to you, that on Mon tay next, the 28th inst, , we shall move the District Court of’ the United States, at Mobile, to iseue a mandamus commanding and req you to grant a discharge to the schooner Susan, of wl schooner F. Brist is master, for the port of Greytown or San Juan del Norte, in Nicaragua, Central America, which clearance you have refused to issue, alleging as your rea- son that instructions to effect have been sent you from the federal authorities at Washington. You can, if you think proper, appear before said court on the day mentioned and obj:ct to the grant of said motion. H. G. HUMPHRIES, W. A. SMITH, B. F. MARSHALL, Ovners of said schooner, By their attorney. Prrcy WALKER. Dec 24, 1867. District Court of the United States, Southern District of Alabama.—Hepry G. Humphries, Wilham A. Smith and Benj. F. Marshall, citizens of the United States, residing in the city of Mobile, being severally sworn according to law, depose and say that they are the sule and exciusive owners of the American registered schooner Susay, now lying in the port of Mobile, That they desigued employ- ing ssid schooner to run between the city of Mobile and Greytown on San Juan del Norte, in Nicaragua, one of the Central American States, for the transportation of articles of trade and commerce between said points, whereby they expected to realize profit: that having actaaHky engaged the freight, apa given bills of nding for ninety tons of coal, one hundred barrels of flour, one hundred barrels of pork, twenty-nine barrels of beef, ten tierces of rice, two hegsheads of sugar, seventy-five barrels navy bread, and five sacks of coffee, as will appear by the manifest here- upto anvexed, appiication in due form was, on the 22d (ay of December, inst, made for a clearance of said schooner and her curgo from the — of* Mobile to the port of Greytown aforesaid, to Thaddeus Sanford, Collector of the said Pe t of Mobile, duly com. mugsioned and authorizd to perform and exercise the duties of said puolic office of Collector of the port of Mobile aforesaid; that he refused to grant a clearance to said vessel and aa, aileging asthe reason of said re. fusal, that in doing so be was asting wader directions from the Executive of the United States; that he conceived that be was bound to obey such directions, and therefore refused to grant stich clearance. These deponents— viz.: Henry G. Humphries, of his own personal know- ledge, and Wm. A. Smith apd Benj. F. Marshall, upon in- formation and belief—tuether say, that a short time after the refusal atoresaid o the Collector to grant said clear ance, an application was made by the said Homphries, for himeelf and the said Smith and ‘ball, the other owners ot said sceooner, vw said Collector to be informed by him, whether in refusing w grant said clearance to sai schooner, he (the said Collector) was proceeding under under the provisions of an act of Congress of the United States, eptitied “an act in addition to the act jor ihe punishment of certain crimes against the United States, and to repeal the acts therein mentioned,” approved 20th April, 1818, and commonly called the Neutrality act, and then stated to said - lector that the owners of said echooner were prepared and willing to bond said schooner one ber cargo, a8 proviced for by said act of the 20th April, 1618, and then offeredto execute sakt bond: where- vpen the said Collector replied that be did not presume to ‘cetain eaid schooner under said act of 1818; but that be merely declined to grant a clearance to said schooner in obedience to instructions from the executive of the United Statex, These deponents allege that they have just right under the law to obtain from said T. Sanford, Collector, as aforesaid, the clearance so withheld and refused to be granted. HH. C. HUMPHRIES. i W. A. SMITH, B. F. MARSHALL. Subseribed and sworn to before me, this Dec. 28, 1857.

Requier, Esq., the United States District Attorney, objectag to the grant of the rule nisi, and proceeded to give bE reasons for this objection, when he was inter rupted by the Judge, who stated that being unwell he would adjourn the court till thie morning. It is stated to be Judge Gayle’s private opinion, not Stated in big decision, that the detention is illegal.

This case was made the subject of severe comment in some of our daily papers ip this city, stating that the amouut of money taken but a few shillings the punishment was too severe, anc defeated its own object, They would have been right kad the magnitude of the offence depended, as in some cases of felony, on the amount of money taken; but in cases of thos kind it matters not whetber the amount is large or small; it is the felonious taking of the same from the per- fon by violence that aggravates the offence, and for which the law imposes a punishment of not less ten years in the State prison. The section of the statute referred to reads thus:— Every person who shall be convicted of feloniously taking the age property of another his person, or in presence, and against his will, by violence to his person, or by pupting such person in fear of some immediate injury to his person, shall be adjudged guilty of robbery in the first degree.’? @ Rk. CN; 564, article bth, sec. 55.) There is one other case which I deem it my duty also to call your attention to—that of the captain of one of our Eastern steamers, who lodged a complaint and had ap indictment procured Qgainst a hackman by the name of Lannigan, for assault and bi 'y, which was tried before me in this court. It appeared from the evidence that early in the morning, on the arrival of the boat, in went on board and went aft, and there met the captain, “ who acked him what he wanted, when he re- lied that he was @ pean r; they stood up, qcapain leaning against the barber shop for a few mo- ents, when he said to Lunnigan nearly the re had gone, whereupon Lunnigan replied, ‘ Well, then, f will go,’ and” he turned t leave, when the captain struck him; Lunnigan turned and ked him down and went forward to the gang plank; the cay then went to his state goom, gota watehman’s club, and struck Lunnigan three ‘times oyer the bead and shoulders; Lunni then closed in with him, and they fell; Lunnigan got the club away, and struck him several blows with it.” This was, ip substance, the whole evidence in the case, as testified to by the captain and those persons who witnessed the trans- action, 1 Luereupan charged the jury that if Luunigan when he came on rd of the boat transgressed any of the roles, it was the duty of the captain to tell him so, and order bim to leave, and if he refused the captain would have been justified in using just so much force as was ne- cessary to eject him; if he used more he rendered himself liable, that when Lunnigan started to leave and wax walk- ing away, the captain was not justified in striking him, still lees in getting a elub, when he was nearly off the oat and renewing the aseault, and that Lunnigan was therefore justified by law in protecting his person from the violenee of the captain. The jury took a different view of the law and convicted,him. This Court being vested With power to set aside convictions, and to grant new trials upon the merits, or for irregularity, or on the ground of newly discovered evidence in all cases tried before this court. 7 vol. Laws 1857, chap. 769, sec. 8, sub. 2, p. vi -1 deemed it my duty, instead of directis e ver- dict to be set aside, and putting the county to the%expense of a second trial, which under the law would bave resulted im an acquital—the punishment in cases of assault amd bat- tery being discretionary with the Court—to exercise that discretion by imposing a nominal fine of six cents. ‘Thus case also has been made the subject of unjust and Malicious criticisms in some of our daily and Sunday pa- pers, and in a manner calculated to bring the jud into disrepute and contempt; and, inasmuch as Tam at ail times willing that my private and’ judicial acts should be fairly scrutinized, I am not willing, nor will T permit them to be subject to defamatory reflections and conclu. sions drawn by the public prints and not warranted by the proceedings; for when they calumniate the proceedings of this court ® has the tendency to weaken the ad. ministration of justice, and to sap the ver founcation ef the laws of the country. It is undoubtedly within the natural compass of ihe liberty of the press to discuss ina decent and temperate manner the decisions and judgments of a court of justice, to sug- gest even error, and, provided it be done in the language and with the view of fair criticism, to censure what is ap- parently wrong, but with this limitation, that no false or dishonest motives be assigned to any party. A fair, plain and honest aceount of the ae of a court is not a libel, but @ partial and dishonest account, containing reflections upon the parties which form po part of the gubject matter before the court, is a libel and eannot be justified. Therefore to allow the prese to be the vehicle to injure the character of individuals, and to bring into hatred and contempt the administration of justice in this country would soon de- prave the moral taste of the community and render the state of society miserable and barbarous.
