"On the 10Th, the two elder Duzoglies
were beheaded at the Seraglio gates, and two
others, brother and a cousin, hung at the
door OF one of their country houses on the
Bosphorus. Enclosed you have translation
of the charges brought against them by the
government. On the fifth, the head of APP
turaman Bey, (late director ofthe Mint wEo
had been sent into exile with pension Of 3d.
QUO piastres, was brought to town and pla.
ced by the two first mentioned, where they
remained three days.
"On the Esd, another Of the Duzogles,
who bad been absent on account Of bad heakh,
was brought in, and of course placed in con-
hnement Nothing has yet been done with
respect to the other parties implicated ; but
there can be no doubt that as soon as every
thing is confessed and recovered, to which
it is said they have been forced by torture,
the same fate is reserved tor them all.
Translation of the writing placed by the side
of the corpse of KirAor Duzoglie, behead-
ed before the Great Gate of the Serag-
Ito, called Baba Hamayun," on Satur.
day. the 26th Of the Moon ZiIkande, an
swering to the 10th October, 1919.
"By the negligence and misconduct of the
Superintendent of the Imperial Mint, for the
last three or four years, those who are here
after named, turning their Office to their pri.
vate profit, and to give scope to their innate
per6dy, have appropriated to themselves
more than 9o,000purses of money tor which
they have thus constituted themselves deb
tors, and have consumed that sum in build.
ing houses upon the canal and in the city,
AMI on various other objects of luxury and os'
tentation; thus dilapidating the Ottoman
Treasury.
''Besides what they have permitted at their
own residence, they have caused chapels to
be erected in the houses of persons who be-
longed TO them and bringing to them Ca
tholic priests. they have had the audacity to
exercise publicly the false religion even with
in the capital of the Ottoman Empire. 1t is
then one of the Drzoglies named Kirkor, that
traitor punished with death well merited,
whose miserable corpse this is.

the corpse of Serkis, second son of TIE fami-

,perty is our own and no power can take
il without our consent.
An Inference has been attempted 70 be
raised, by the same committee, in support
of the power eff Congress, from their right to
legislate IN criminal cases. The following
is their language.
/" Il is not believed that the right to stax,
exercised by persons who owe no response
bility 10 those on whom theirl laws must ope-
rate, is in principle more exceptionable than
the exercise of powers which affect the per-
sonal rights, and even the life of the citi-
gen. On these important points however.
the congress of the United States must legis-
late. No other power can, within the Dis
trict of Columbia prescribe the regulations
necessary to protect the innocent and punish
the guilty."
forbear attribuling to the committee, the
doctrine-which might, nevertheless, be in
fe!red from their language-that congress
had power to /" affect" or take away, the
personal rights, and even the life OF the citi-
zen." This power, exercised only, 1t IS De-
lieyed in the dominions of the Great Turk,
has not yet been claimed by Congress, over
any portion of this community, whatever in
stance there may have been, founded on I'm.
defined privilege, having an awful squ:nt-
ing" at it. Admitting it was only the inten'
ton of the committee TO assert the right OF
congress to legislate in criminal cases, and
thus punish the guilty, and protec. the in-
nocent, is it necessary TO ask whether there
is any analogy between this power and the
power to tax? The one is a necessary part
of the supreme legislative power which, it
is admitted, is vested in Congress: The o.
Their is not By The former, the personal
rights Of all the members of the community
are secured By the latter, Congress would
be invested with power boundless and
despotic--and. which ,ifonce conceded would
leave US no security for property, liberty, or
life.
1t is true, that il the wantonness Of
power, always too prone to be torgettu OF
right, when unfettered by restraints, con-
gress might abuse the trust conhded by the
constitution, and denounce cruel and unne-
essaryipunishments against acts OF doubt
full criminality. But, if they invade those
great, essential rights, for the protection OF
which government is instituted, and among
which is doubtless the right to property. the
remedy will be found in the judicial power,
or in the spirit of freemen. Despotic autho-
rity is the same in principle, and will be the
same in effect, whether decked in the rega-
liza ofroyalty, or clothed in the more mo.
dest habiliments OF legislative assembly
and tyranny, in whatever shape it may APP
pear, will justify resistance.

Among the subjects before congress. which

the deep anxiety manifested on the subject
from every quarter of the country in which

regarded. 1t is due to the thousands who
tremblingly cling 10 the hope of an aleviation
