must soon compel even the President himself
to surround his person and fortify his residence
with military guard.
"There never was q time when England was
barbarous enough to excuse any violence to a
member of her Parliament, or to permit the
author of such an offence to 90 unpublished.
The right to freedom of speech is coeyal
with the existence of Parliaments and leg;sla.
tive assemblies, and is protected against every
encroachment, whether under color of laws or
by open and rufiian violence. In England.
it is protected by statute, as one of the liner.
ties OF the people; and with us, the Constitu-
ton of the United States declares that Sena.
tors and Representatives, for any speech in
debate, In either House, shall not be question

IT the King says the old Saxon law of
Etheibert, does an injury to one of them, let
him be fned.' This was the Anglo-Sax
spirit, in the earliest antiquity.
Under the Plantagenets, period not re-
markable for its political liberty, the Commons
demanded a rigorous punishment of one who
had assaulted a member. In the times of Ro-
man Catholic rule, and under Protestant Eliza
beth, two offenders we're imprisoned by the
Commons for striking members. Under the
Stuarts, fellow, who, like one of our South.
erd DULLES, was seen around the House with
a pistol charged with three bullets, threaten
ing the members, was committed close pris.

Here English precedents end; for strange
as it may appear to the chivalrous members of
the South, We can find no reported case of VIC.
lence in either House of Parliament for the
last two hundred years. The American case,
which is to form weighty precedent, is yet to
be reported.
"Even to this day, the Speaker of the House
Of Commons, following custom assold as the
British Constitution, Immediately after his cleo
ton, waits upon his monarch, and prays for a
pledge that the members of the House over
which ne presides shall enjoy entire freedom
OF debate, without risk of being called to &C.

FRIDAY, Feb. l5--p. m.


The business of the Stock Board to-day not very
large and prices were irregular until the Second
Board, when the demand for stocks was very active,
and prices advanced. The Brokers tell us that they
have more outside orders than for the last twelve
months consequently the market is more independent
Of the operations Of the ciiques in the street The ia
cility of obtaining money enables outsiders to take
line in stocks, and this is the most influential ele-
ment in successful stock speculation. The
bears are operating very cautiously, the street
as a body being essentially bur. Erie was heavy in
the morning, opening at IS and selling down to 57!.
At the Second Board, however, there was a strong
reaction, and the market closed at 5s advance OF
y cent ON yesterdays price. The receipts still
about $50 900 per day In Reading the market
buoyant at the close, touching 81 after the Second
Board notwithstanding the business for December and
January just made public is by no means favorable.

up next. 1t opened at OH, rapidly to 90, fell
back TO 95, and finally closed at 96-an improvement
of e cent on yesterdays price. Michigan Central

at the Second Board al llOi. The dividend aad
issue stock due on the lst inst. was received here
only to-day, 18th, and the certificates not signed
by the President-rendering them nearly useless.
Cleveland and Toledo weak in the morning, but

The Sheriff opened the Special Term through

he only being present.
He remained in the Judges seat till o'clock, the
other Justices leaving at u. During the day, he
granted several orders, among them one order Of
arrest which will afford an opportunity to test the
question.
This whole matter leaves the officers of the Court in
somewhat perplexing position. -Four of them, We
understand, have taken sides decisively with Mr..
Davis Others are pretty much the fence, and are
shy of committing themselves to either party.
