Stevenson,—In this case Judge Neison bas rendered his decison as tol- lows:— ‘This is @ writ of error to the United Siates District Court for the Soutuera district of New Lork. ‘ihe suit ls aa action of trover brought b the Unded Staves agains: Stevenson to recover the value of & large quantity of cotton, which, It is alle@ed, be- tonged to the plaintt, and had been converied by the defendant to tis OWN use, cause was tried before ® jury, and, on the trial, 1b appeared that the defendant, being a resident and ciuzen of Tennessee whea the recent civil war broke out, remained in tho State and took pari with the insurgent Srates and was the President of the Nashville and Cnat noowa Ravroad, and ran the road in their serv! | and that while thus engaged ne at cotion within these States, aad shipped mb wilh the knowledge and assent of the 60-called Confederate States from Wimington, N. to foreign ports, in violation ,of the United States blockade. ‘It also appears that as tne Union army approached Tennessee and Nashyitie he removed cotton that he had bought, and cottou also that belonged to others, further into the interior, to prevent the same from being captured by the forces of the United Statea, There is no proof in the case that any part of the covton was ever 1a the posses: sion Of the United States, or that they ever had any title to Lhe sume, Or that it ever Delonged bo tao s0- called Confederate States; but, on the contrary, that 1¢ waa purchased in the Coniederate States by tine defendant and stipped by him abroad in violation of the existing blockade and sold, or sold within ihe said States. Tne Court beiow, at the ciose of the testimony, being of opinion that no case was made out on the part of the piaintif, directed @ verdict tor the defendant. The act of July 13, 1861, secwon 6, made tt iaw!ul for the President of the United States, Where a state of insurrection existed, to deciare tt of proclamation, and thereupon all commercial ivter- course by and between the same and the citizens thereof and the citizens of the rest of the United States should cease and be anlawful, &c., aud the gouds, &c., coming trom said state or section into other parts of the United Siates, &c., should be forfeited tv the United states, (12 U. 8., 1,255.) ‘The act sup- plementary, passed May 20, 18¢2 (1b., p. 404), secvion 3 conters on the Secretary of the Treasury the power, upon satisfactory grounds of be.iel that tne goods, &c,, are intended for any place 10 tie pus- session or ander the control of the insurgents, in casea where he may deem if expedient to do 80, to require security that they will not be carried to such place, nor used to give ald or comfort to the maur- gents, and @ transportation in violation of the actor of the regulation wall Work @ forteiture, The act of August 6, 1361 (1d., p. 319, Bection 1), provides Lhas, during the insurrection, goods purchased or soid with intent to use oremploy tne same, &¢., In aid- ing or promoting the insurrection, shail be subject of @ and capture, and it 1s made the duty of the President to cause the same to be seized and con- fiscated. Tbe act of 17th of July, 1864 (1. 1b., 591, section 6), makes the property ol persons engagod in the rebellion, who will not return to thew dary io sixty days after warning by proclamation of the President, subject to seimure, and it is made the duty of the President to gelze, &c. The only remaining act that it ts material to refer to is that Of March 3, 186%, section 1 «ib., p. 820), watch authorizes the appointment of agents to collect cap tured and abandoned property. We need bardiy say that neither of these statutes, nor any provision i them, have any bearing on the facts as disclosed 10 vhe cae, or afford any ground for an tmlerence or conclusion that the cotton in question, sold and con- verted to his own use by the delendant, belouged to tne United States, Certainly nob, untess all the pro. perty of citizens or Leople in the Confederate States elonged to the United States during the war, e€ is another branch of this case that Jurnisies, por- haps, the grounds for its origina! institution, whici, as has turacd Out tn proof, haa utterly failed. ‘ie original imormation, agit is calied, weut on iv ground that the deiendant had iraudulently coa- verted the cotton to his own use, and that the pro- ceeds were disposed of with intent to secrete the same and deiraud the government; and prayed for process of attachment agaist the pro perty of the detendant; whereupoa — pro- cess of attachment issued. and a large amount of real and personal estate was attache |, and stil remains under the sail process, Tae afidavit upon which this process was issued is ro- markable when compared with tne facts of the case a8 proved before the jury. The aiMant states tha: lie was the person wuo filed the information aga. the defendant, which was on the 17ta Pecember, 1368; that %,000 bales of the cotton, or thereabouts, being in the States of Georgia, Alabama and teu nessee, Were the property of the Consederate states, when the defendant took possession of If, and thas in the summer Of 1365 he transported the same o Cie city of New York, within the Southern district oF bie same, to be sold and disposed of at this cry, and converted the cotion into money, the proceeds of Wilich, amoanlius W $1,009,009 OF thereabouts, the defendanc received and has converted tac sume into real or personal estate in tno city; tnat the cotton was brought mto the State ot New York from the insurrectionary States, in violation of the prociama- tion of the President of the 1éth of Auxusl, 1381, aud of the acts of Congress relerriug to them, and tuat it was the property of tne United States, it wa: upon this afidavit that the process of aitachment issued, and seems to have been in soine way arded a8 @ seizure, not of the covtoa, out of the real and persona! estate of the defendant 2s a su0- stiiute for the same, and yet the case has been tried a8 @ simple action of trover and conversion in per- sonance, The case as tried in the court beluw, aud, as ruled by the learned Judge, 18 a very simpie and piain one; and, in every aspect in which it has beea presented, on the testimony, can lead to but one*re- sult, and that is thas the Unived States showed no tule Lo the property the possession of which was in- dispensaeie to maintain this a tioa, And as it is shown that the afidavit on which the process of at- tachment issued was wholly uatrue and faise or mis- taken, the process of attachment must be sot aside aud discharged, insteal of the cotton velonvins to the Confederate States it belonged to the defendant; and instead of being shipped to New York im vioia- tion of the acts of Congress 1t was shipped from a Confederate port to # foreign country in Violation of the blockade of the port of Wiimingion; but tis fact could not change the tide of the property or work a forfeiture of the saine to the United States unless seized as prize of war.

The stealy manner in which the affairs at the Marshal's ofice recently progressed led many to suppose that General Barlow was beginning thor- oughly to comprehend and appreciate the duties ap- pertaining to tho important oiice, but the sudden announcement of his retirement gave rise to many vague speculations, many of which, partiou- larly tho.e having reference to Cuban mat tera, appear to have been utterly groundless, ‘The cause of his resiguation see.ns to be the inter- fercace of his oMcial duties with the legal practice he bad previously enjoyed, and Co which he was oot, in his oiicial poaitioa, avio to give the requisite at- tention. or in othor words law, a3 a profession, was more remunerative and more congenial to his taste than the hunitng ap of delinquents.
