Under the theory OF our constitution government
prosecutions, 80 specially distinguished, have no
lawfully Instituted and carried on by the king his
council and agents in England, and wrongfuly imi
tated by executive pretensions here, where such
legal authority Is given.
Under our Consultation, the judiciary is wholly
separated and independent Of executive power
and action. Its duties are distinctly assigned
and Its legal machinery for the performance of these
duties are set apart with the distinct intention that
its operations shall 60 on uninfuenced BY executive
CONTROL The manner in which all infractions of the
public law shall be redressed how the accused sh all
be arrested, tried and condemned to punishment ia
as
partment. That the courts viii perform their duty
with fidelity in all cases, is confidence which the
theory Of our constitution entertains without suspi
cion In this respect, they are as much trusted as
II this be 50, wherein has the constitution ap-
pointed that 1t may, nevertheless, specially become
the President, in fancied matters Of State, to work
himself up to an energetic activity to have the
courts to do something more or something better
than they otherwise would do, if left to the indepen

The theory Of the English constitution expressly
Is the fountain Of justice. Theoretically, he sits in

What Privy Council has our President on whom
these duties are devolved? Nor will it do 10 say
the President represents the Commonwealth in such
prosecutions. Il il the judiciary only which 10
entrusted with this service, and the ocious inter-

can well understand that the Attorney of the
United States, to whom the outside direction and
management Of any prosecution is exclusively COM
mitted, may often require the attendance of awit-
nesses from distance and aid from the Treasury to
effect that object; but these exigcncies may arise
in any case, and should be conducted alike in all
know, too, the President, guided by his personal
anxieties, (not to say prejudces,) by use of his
official influence, through subordinate agents. and
his activity in court by the presence of these
agents, and the thus marked manifestation Of
his zeal and wishes, may render q prosecution
successful or oppressive, when 1t might not
otherwise be SO. But all such partial zeal and un-
equal interference, which may so affect the unequal
administration of justice Is perversion of justice,
and grossly adverse ~ the genius Of government

cent to take care that the laws be faithfully ex-
esuted, as the court has adjudged. And for this
,ssss ~ ,h duty be is s%ed Th al the sy
examined the question rightly, the authority for
tAis proclamation il not found in the constitution,
end being without law, IL unwarranted.
Next, as to the matter Of this proclamation, and
what II threatens to perform.
The President rcciies that information "has been
received that sundry persons, citizens of the United
States, and others residing therein, engaged in
and s;su out %sy expedition for
Where this expedition is being organized and
cited out, and from whence it is Intended to
nsvc for the invasion Of Cuba, is not indicated.
And without these two important facts are Axed,
and without its being charged and imputed that
the expedition Is being organized and fitted out,
within the United States and to be carried there
nom, the President has made case which, II con-
Spain, or the neutrality act Of 1878. That citizen
81 the United States may, within the United States
NE his means and money 70 promote an expedition
% be organised out Of the United States and to be
carried on from without the United States against
breach Of its treaty with Spain, involve the neu
tzalty Of the government in violation Of the act Of
ISIS, are propositions too plain, and too well
established by the decision of our courts, and
ear diplomatic correspondence, to be plausibly
questioned; and such was the obvious under
standing Of Congress when they passed the tenn
porary act of 10th March, 1885, to meet the exigen
cy OF carrying on military expedition in Canada,
az sections two and five Of that act clearly show.
But the President, perhaps would be understood
TINT the supposed expedition fitting out, and
- intended to be carried on, % to violate both the
treaty and law, as he charges it would I answer
then to the fact, that far az have any informa-
sion on the suh,ect referred to, no intention Of in
hacting either the law or treaty IL medtated by
any ore: and that no oct vioatve Of either, act
hvoiving the neutrality Of the rnuent Of The
United states, viii be perYetrated.

WAsuIxcToX, D. c., Jan. Z.
MEssRs. EpiroRs:-To- night Ole Bull gives his
only concert in this city. He has placed all the
seats at one dollar, a highly liberal arrangement
when we remember that he has always drawn
crowded houses here at three times that price.
Many Congressman have not yet got in from their
holiday trips as the numerous vacant seats yester-
day and to-day shcw. Little business of impor-
tance is being done, perhaps next week may bring
up something OF Importance. The Senate yester-
day adjourned till Monday.
The Senate Chamber and Hall Of The House are
hung in half-mourning in honor Of the memory OF
the late Vice President King, which makes 1t a
most gloomy looking place. do not Know
whether it is the fnult Of the building or the bad
arrangement Of the light, but certainly to look
down from the gallery on the assembled wisdom
of the nation, they appear about as ordinary
lookDg set of individuals as can be well imagined;
vet, taking them separately out Of their seats,
there are many fine, intelligent looking men. The
Senate is a much more dignfed body, and its mem
bers. from their quiet and much less unruly pro-
caediugs. present far better Appearance than the
members of the lower House. 1t is told of ives
t.rn member that on making his debut here he de-
liberstely walked into the Senate to take the oath
Of Office, and on being told that he belonged not to
that branch but to the he had just left, got up
and spolosised, saying with oath that he
thought that place was the bar-rOOns for the MEM
hers. do not vouch for the truth of this but the
mistake was very natural.

description Of that day. whose powerful impressions
were almost too much for his feelings. He says:
"On Thursday the festival attained the summit

preston was produced wien came streaming in
The air the Star Srangled Banner of the United
States Of America. Enthusiastic was its reception;
immense the heartfelt participation of the innu-
meraLle people in extending the hand of fellow
