The Washington Union contains the following
article on the refusal Of the Dutch Minister TO
tify in the case Of Mr.. Herbert. We presume It
expresses the opinion of the administration on
this points M
THE CASE OF Hon. Nh. HERBERr.-lWe have re-
Trained from making any other alluson to this mel
ancholy affair than to publish the opinions of the
committing justices and of the District Judge on
the question Of admitting the accused TO bail. 1t
is not our purpose now to indulge in any COM
ments which look to the question or guilt or inpo
cence that question is intrusted to the judicial
tribunals, and we regard any discussion Of It in
the newspapers as calculated 70 interfere unwar-l
ran,ably with the sancrty Of jury trial. We refer
to the subject now, because OF the extraordinary
effort made TO turn this unfortunate affair TO polit
ica account. The editor Of the New York Cou-
rier undertakes to enlghten "the press Of Europe"
by the assertion that whatever of wrong there
may appear to be in the bailing" Of Mr. Herbert is
.soley attributable to the ministers Of France and
England" He assumes, that if N. DnB0is, the
minister from Netherland, who is said to have been
present at the rencontre, had not listened TO the
counsel of Mr.. Sartige, the French Minister, In
declining to give evidence, Mr.. Herbert would
either have been discharged on the ground Of self
defence in the killing, would have been denied
bail on the ground Of murder in the killing
1t was NJ. Du Boise privilege TO testify or not,
and with Il xercise OF it have nothirg to say
or do but il it be true, the Courier asserts that
he oeclarcs at the corners of the streets that il
was clear case Of unprovoked murder" we have
hesitation In saying that he is guilty of great
w,opg Why he should decliQe TO 60 before the
committg court and swear to what he saw and
card, and yet 60 upon the streets and tail bis
knowledge, is beyond our comprehension. II isso
gross an act Of inconsistency that choose to
iect the truth of the Couriers statement, and to
conclude that it Is part of the same system Of
Tnsking political capital to which we propose next
to direct attention. .f IA ~, IA s -.
proposition was made, few days ago, by Mr..
Knowton, to require the Judiciary Committee to
INQUIRE into the late unfortunate affair to which
have aluded. Upon what principle of law, reason,
or Justice the House of Representatives was called
o to investigate criminal charge against one of
It, members, who is under bail to answer before
the judicial tribunals, we wholly unable 70 UNI
derstand. Does the honorable mover Of the reso-
luton propose take the out OF the jurisdic
ton Of the courts or does he mean to anticipate
the verdict of jury in the case by the expulsion
of the accusedf In either view, a grosser outrage
upon the rights of an individual could not be per-
petrated.
Mr. Herbert voluntarily submitted his case to
the proper Judicial tribunal He now stands ready
to meet the charge in that tribunal, and only
awaits the term Of the court to have the issue
tried. lii this state of his the editor OF the
New York Courier announces that the Netherland
Minister, M. Du Bois. says In the streets that Il
was case of premeditat ed murder, and Mr.. KuOwl-
ton rises in the House and proposes IN invest iC.
which implies the commission Of great orinei-
Agaiust such an outrage upon individual rights and
the sanctty Of jury trial we enter our protest -
What power the House Of Representatives has to
interfere in the question we cannot comprehend
but If it has any, surely 1t will be time enough to
assert it when the judicial department has decided
whether Mr.. Herbert is guilty or innocent. The
whole proceeding, whether looking at the course
Of the New York Courier or that OF Mr.. Knowl.

The prospect Of the American partyin East Ten

since the days Of Harrison, for glorious victory.
From every quarter the indications are most cheer

enemy, but that was only the beginning Of the
end" Then We labored under many disadvantages.
