Friday, January s.

Yesterdays congressional novelty

some noise in the union. The speak

Tlalmin with various acts of Judicial

B holding courts or the Lords Day
DELAYING the determination of causes

-Ind;CtinS cnrpnrpal punishments to
excess beyond the limits prescribed
BY the criminal law. This letter was
written in terms ocycrbal asperi'y so
very unfit for concern of SO much
Importance. aud insOmc respects WITH
such naIignity, as to suggest to some
of tie members suspicious IT a imaliS-

the doors of Congress to every

be disposed to injurc the moStresPcct-

of every citizen however humble orr

~ If tho subject were dismissed. as the
accuse offered To prove the charges
and the house was bound to act upon
them; because if gailty the judge
ought to be displaced. and il innocent
he ought to be acquitted.
Mr.. Southland said. that if fourth
OF the offences charged were true, the
Judge deserved punisment-bolding
courts on Sunday was a contempt OF
the people and disrespcctful TO the ju-l
dicial Office and the infection of even

scrLed. was a gross outrage upon the
citizen. Mr.. Johnson said Mr.. Toul-
min bore an excellent character and
deservedly, while he lived in Ken

vorably of his character, but thought
that by no means sufficient ground for
rejecting the charges. which for the
sake ofpublic justice as well as of jus

were innocent. ought to be Inquired
