A SINGULAR DrcrsroS.-A case was

A SINGULAR DEcrsfoN.-A case was
brought before the Criminal Court in this city
a, its late term, which, If correctly stated 10
us, is something singular and wholly Trecon-
cileable with what we have. heretofore un-
derstood ~ be the decisions OF that court
Heretofore this and other courts have held
that men summoned before the Grand jury
to testify in relation TO viOlaIions.of the gam
Hing act, could be compelled 70. testify q
painst those with whom they ~played;,thus
Indirectly duplicating themselves, BECAUSE.
those upon whom they informed could DO
compelled in turn, to. testify against them~-
This rule has been extended further. In the
case OF MYERS, Buckker and others ior
lynching a man, when ths witnesses swore
that they could not answer the grand Jurys
questions, because they were parties and
could not inform on the othsrs without lndt-
rectly informing or duplicating themsefves.
the court held them bound to answer.
At the late term, when the grand jury ar
tempted to ferret out the person. guilty Of
cutting and destroying a number Of wagons,
&c. near the New Market, a piece Of mali
cious mischief which richly meried tho
severest punishment, a witness called, stated
that he could not answer without duplicating
himself, or in other words, if he informed
upon the others it would lead to an informa-
ton on himself, the court sustained The wit
ness objection and he was not compelled to
answer. If we have heard the case cor
rectly stated, we would like to know upon
what grounds the distinction is attempted to
be sustained.
If the court may compel one of the parties
to 4 game Of cards, or one of the num-
Der where several committed an assault and
battery to inform on the other parties, and
they in turn be compelled to testify against
him, why not apply the rule to any other
species of offence where two or more are
engaged, and especially to cases of trespass
such as the case of the wagons. We can
not believe that the law OF testimony subject
to the mere arbitrary dictum of the judge, TO
be enforced against one, and relaxed towards
another, as his opinions or feelings may die
tate, but must be uniform and of equal applt
cation to all in similar circumstances.
II is an old and well established principle Of
law, that no. man shall be compelled to tes-
tify against themselves, yet, if there are a
class Of cases where he may be compelled
to give testimony which may lead to the
implication Of himself, and another class
where he clnnot be so compelled, it Is
a distinction which, fiom its novelty, should
be better understood and more fully defined.
If the distinction rests solely in the breast Of
the Judge, it is a dangerous power, which
especially in such. times as the present,
should be taken away, for he may use it as
an engine TO Cypress one class. and the means
of shielding from punishment another.

MARRIAGE OF THE QUEEN.

The marriage Of Queen Victoria and
Prince Albert was solemnized on the 10Th
of February,at the Chapel Royal, ST. James's.
The day was inauspicious. a heavy rain fall
ing, but immense multitudes assembled to
gaze upon the procession.
In ST. James's Park, the area in 'front.' OF
Buckingham Palace, and The avenue leading
from thence TO the garden entrance Of st.
Janes's, were densely t~hronged before eight
O'Clock, and the rain which fell after that
time caused no sensible diminution OF the
crowds. for as far as the endeavor OF one bo-
Iry Of the eager visiters gave way, their
places were filled by the fresh numbers
which were every minute arriving.
BUCKINGHAM PALACE.
Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent,
and the twelve bridesmaids, were in attend
ance upon her Majesty at an early hour
The Princess Sophia Matilda Of Gloucester,
the Duchess of Cambridge, the Princess
Mary, and the Princess Augusta Of Cam
bridge, the Duchess Of Gloucester, and the
Princess Augusta also arrived early at the
Palace, and were admitted to her Majesty's
private apartments.
THE ROYAL BRIDES PROCESSION
began TO move through the triumphal arch
ut - o'clock. The cheers Of the men and
the women's fond and audible aspirations OF
sympathy continued, until the royal salute
of 81 guns announced that the Queen was
entering her carriage. When she appeared
amongst them beyond the precincts Of the
Palace, she was hailed with acclamations of
love and loyalty, which seemed to effect her
so much that tears might better express the in
tensity of her feelings, than even the winning
smiles she wore as she repressed her emo
tions. The cries of 'God bless her r. which
burst upon her ear from every side, evident
ly affected her.
The procession passed on to the garden
entrance Of
ST. JAMES'S PALACE,
by which her Majesty proceeded, up the
grand staircase, to the Queens Closet or
Privy Council Chamber, Immediately behind
the throne room, where she remained tIll the
order Of the procession was arranged in

SATURDAY, MARCH az, 1880.

The New Jersey case, has been the source
of much disorder and confusion for the second
time this session. The chairman of the COM
mittee on elections, in obedience to the in
structions of the house, commanding them to
report forthwith which of the ten claimants
to the vacant seats received the greatest
number of lawful votes for representa-
tives in congress at the election in 1898, re-
ported that Mr.. Dickerson, and the other De-
mocratic claimants, had received a majority
of thelawful votes. Mr.. Fillmore. one of the
committee, then moved that the report be re-
committed to the same committee, on the
ground that they could not ascertain as yet.
which of the two sets of claimants had obtain
ed the greatest number of legal votes. Mr..
Petriken, offered as a substitute for this mo-
ton, a resolution declaring that Mr.. Dicker.
son and his associates, having received a ma
jority of all the votes, were entitled to their
seats and requiring the speaker to swear
them in so soon as they should present them.
selves at the bar of the House. Avery warm
and animated but irregular debate ensued.
which was kept up from the sixth to the 10Th
inst. inclusive. Great confusion and disorder
prevailed; points of order innumerable were
made and decided-and appeal after appeal
taken from the decision of the chair. The
previous question at last cut of all debate
and the resolution of Mr.. Petriken passed by
a vote Of Ill to SI;-several of the Wing
members not voting. We see it stated that
the gentlemen thus admitted to seats in the
House, are at this time in New Jersey. taking
dispositions, under the order of the committee
of elections.

1t has been the fortune of but few men to
preside over tine deliberations of an assem-
blage so impatient Of restraint, and so furious
in party zeal, rs the present speaker OF the
House of Representatives. At no period,
since the organization of the government, has
there existed such a wild and unbridled spirit
Of political acrimony; and certainly the
country has never witnessed a collection of
men, so tumultuous and disorderly in their
proceedings. The lower house of congress,
with but few exceptions, during the pres emf
session has presented one continued scene of
uproar and confusion, alike disgraceful to the
actors, and d~egradingto our national charac-
ter.
With but a small majority in favor of the
policy of the Administration, the opposition
number a force sufficiently large. to aspire to
the mastery, and dispute with logged obsti-
macy every inch of ground commended for by
their opponents. To restrain the impetuosi-
ty ofmen, whose political prejudices are in
famed by frequent conflict, to curb the fiery
ardour Of the Wse's, the SANKEY'S and the
Bynum's that compose the lower house. and
to dispense even handed justice to all. is a task
to which few men are equal. Yet, such a
man fills the speakers chair Of that body
Without the advantages of age or experience,
he has discharged the trying and arduous du-
ties of his station, in a manner satisfactory to
all parties, and with honor to himself. Oc-
cupying the position that he does, and elected
not as the choice of either, but as the only
available Of both. his course has been scruti-
nized and observed by the whole country;
and while men Of both political parties, are
the constant marks Tor the shafts Of abuse
and vituperation, we do not recollect that in
a single instance, the motives of Mr.: Hunter
have been ~impugned, or the honesty of his
course been questioned. Appeal after ap-
peal from his discussions have been taken, and
yet the instances have been few, in which he
has not been sustained. On more than one
occasion, he hasbeen called upon to give a
casting vote, and he has invariably she wn that
he is what he promises to be-the Speaker of
the House, and not Of a party.
The times require such en-me who
have the moral firmness, and independence of
soul, to do what their conscience and their
judgment dictates, regardless of the tram
mels of party. In seasons OF high political
excitement, they are the sheet anchor of the
Republic-the hope of the nation-and it is
a consoling reflection, that however much
the zeal of partNans, and however angry may
be the contest of politicians for place and
power, there are those who can appreciate
the worth of such men as the present speaker,
and who are willing to elevate to Office and
distinction, others than the slaves Of party.
We are gratifed to learn that, two gentle
men of Louisville KY, are making prepare
tons to put up a large Bagging Factory, ad-
joining the neighboring village of Louisiana.
