In regard to the question, “what- becameof the rioters of Mariou?” ic. perhaps if I shoulds.ty, nothing at all, it would be as near the truth as I shall get it.From the indignation with which the outrageous conductof the Virginians and their abettors was met by the citizens of Marion on the day of the riot, Iwas led to think that the arm of the Jaw would fallheavily on the offenders; but this has not been thecase. Whether the authorities of die place haveturned non-resistants—or whether after the blackin an It ad effected f i is escape and his Kidnappersplaced in the goal for a few hours been thrust, they thought it sufficient punish-1,1 ant unable to say. Possibly they were inlielueticed by t he ar of offend t n g this as it may—the four Virginians were soon released from jail by giving bonds of §600 eachtheir attendance at Court through its session, andallowed the limits of the town bv their bail. Theirtrial came on for contempt of Court, and they were fined $15. each, with the coats of Court. The finewever, was remitted on their paying' ihe ecu Report says that their funds failed them and th were suffered to gooff without paying either co or fine; hut for this I cannot vouch. From ththat fitIa.lies I information I can obtainlearnGrand Jury returned them guiltyriotea n dthey gave their bonds of $100 each, for their appearance at Court next term.
