The Indie rncnts against Tlcyo
and Russell.

The criminal proceedings against tioyd
and Russell, i'll connection with the In
dian Trust Fund abstraction, has assum-
ed a new legal phase. In 1891, when
the Times correspondent, Simonton, after
dragging to light Congressional corrupt
ions that startled the whole country, and
saved many millions Of dollars, refused
to give the names of other parties whom
he suspected, but against whom he had
no proof, in fruitless expectation Of COM
peling him TO answer, Congress passed u
| law, general in terms, making a refusal
to answer question to any committee n
misdameanor, punishable by fine and inn
prisonment. 1t also deprived witnesses
| of all right to decline answering, lest
their testimony should subject themselves
TO prosecution but declared that they
should be relieved from all prosecution
! in relation TO matters about which they
testified. Floyd and Russell have been
before the pending committee, and they
say told all they knew, and upon theil
own evidence these indictments have
been found. Their counsel propose tC
move to qussh the indictments, on tho
ground that they are exempt from pros
ecution, under the law of 1857. Men o
the best ability express the opinion tha
the motion to quash must prevail, thu
demonstrating the danger of Congress
ional Intervention, under the influence o
passion, between citizens and the judicia
powers and operations of the courts

PLEASING PRospEcTIvE!-The editorial
correspondent of the Detroit Tribune,
writing from Lansing under date Of Feb
ruary II, INDUCES in the following little
pleasant in speaking of "as honest a
man as ever lived:
"McKinney's foolhardiness surprises
everybody, and exerts damaging inhu-
ence to his case. BIuiling won't save
him. Violated confidence and outraged
law must be atoned for. Shaved head
loss of patriarchal beard and shawl
horizontally striped clothing,-grated-
bed appropriate discipine-aH Of ch'ch
I think he dcserreS, md VW get-will arouse
him from his Rip Van Wrinkle moral
lethargy aud make his example lesson
to others"
East Saginaw courier. (East Saginaw, Mich.) 1859-18??, 1861-02-28

be presumed that any honest man would
knopmgly violate his oath. And no ex-
planaton or declaration, in any form, can
alter the meaning which the words fairly
express"
And again he sage:
"Shold such legislation be permitted
to stand? Think not. Whom attention
has been called to any existing abuse,
those who permit it to continue are justly
held responsible, in the eyes Of all men,
for its further continuance. To subject
the State to the imputation Of nullid-
cation is TO expose our honor"
Justice CnRIsTIANcY says:
"The abstract question, whether these
laws are unconstitutional, is of no practi-
cal importanoe--it is mere abstraction;
Cor such.is the peculiar nature of the case
that the practical effect of either con
struction is the same--the one holding
that it does not contain a particular pro
vision, the other that it does contain that
provision, but that such provision is void
and therefore in legal effect the same as
if it had never been inserted. But while
these acts remain upon the statute book,
unaltered, until decided upon by the
court Of last resort, they will continue &c
have all the practical effect of unconsti
tutional laws. They are calculated tc
create doubts and to lead to litigation
Their effect is also the same upon the
public mind, both at the North and tn,
South; for to the popular apprehension
all laws viii be understood to operate &C
thor literal extent.
"In such a contest as that we are now
entering, we should not only BE- but We
should also appear TO b., clearly in the
right,
81 cannot doubt that truth, Justice, ant
sound policy equally require that the act
in question should be 50 modified as {
b.ing them clearly and expressly within
the Federal constitution"
Let us see what the Legislature vii
do with these laws, which are SO uncon
stitutiouaI and so pernicions in the opin
ION Of the Supreme Court.

4 EgepuClscan CJlmt,sii;oc ve. The
Secretary OF ,gsc Navy.

4 republican committee Of the House
at Washington have issued report in
which they ceusuro Secretary IoUCEy, OF
the Navy Department, for not having,
i'm anticipation of the secession movement
disposed a large naval force along the
southern coast, and the republican press
all over the country is publishing this
report and denouncing the Secretary as
al alder and abettor of treason. This
seems cool when we remember how this
same press ridiculed the apprehcnsions
which were felt by many that trouble
would follow Lincolu's election, and how
/ it denounced those who warned the
country that secession would surely fol.
low that event. Had Secretary Touccy,
/ in anticipation of secession, set about,
/ before the election, distributing naval
| eurce along the southern coast, his assall-
ants would have numbered the entire
republican party, who would have &C
ccsed him of design to alarm the coun-
,ry and Inns influence the Presidential
result. Perhaps tiis consideration should
not have influenced tie Secretary, aud
probably it did not influence him Doubt
less he can satisfactorily explain his con
duct, if indeed it needs any explanation.
/ But what impudencc is it in the repub-
! Leans to censure him even though he
/ has been remiss How do they know
that he did not take the same view OF the
threatened secession movement that they
took ? How do they know that he did
not think, with them, that the election
of Lincoln would produce a great calm
from one end of the country to the other?
Surely no one has forgotten how the re-
publcans regarded the threatened move
ment. If there be such an one we will
reproduce, for his especial benefit, spec
linen of the manner in which they re-
garded il. We quote from the report
of speech Of Senator Hale, of New
Hampshire, made in the "Wigwam" al
Chicago Just before the election. 1t is
the report of one of the republican papers
of that city:
"Mr. Hale took hold Of tho disunion
humbug, and exposed its utter hollow
ness. lie said that no government on
, the face of the earth was so strong as
tillS anu lHaJ ultST TIC cIcClIoH Oh MI
, Lincoln it would be stronger :han ever
He said that at no time had there beer
any danger of disunion. 1t was hum
bug cry, used for the purpose of soaring
the North. Even in 1850, when thii
disunion farce was played with a heavier
cast and with more accessories than eve
before, and when Clay and Webster were
making those renowned speeches for The
Union with which every one is familiar
these two statesmen could not have me
each other in the eye without bursting
J., out into laugh at the humbug the!
werc practciug. 1t was all humbui
now and the only difference was that th'
people knew it."
every word" continues the report
"that Mr.. Hale uttered found an echo il
the heart of his hearers"
We think we need not add anothe
word in defence Of Secretary Toucey.-

TIE PLAN.

The Plan of Adjustment submitted to
the Peace Convention by the Conference
Committee, does not differ very ma
terally from the Kentucky plan pre-
scented by Mr.. GUTHRIE.
|. 1t disposes of the Territorial slavery
question on the basis of the line OF 36:3O
prohibiting slavery in all territory north
of the line, and permitting the taking OF
slaves into all territory south of the line
and holding them there during the Ter
ritorial condition according TO the laws
of the State from which they came; and
providing for the admission of States on
either side Of the line, with or without
slavery, as their constitutions shall deter
mine, whenever they shall have popula-
tons equal to the Federal ratio of repre-.
sentation.
2. Territory shall be acquired only by
treaty, and foU.ftths Of dRHe members Of
the Senate shall be required to rdtyy a treaty
for he acquisition ortUritory.
3. Congress shall not abolish or con-
troll slavery in the States where it exists
by law; nor in the District of Columbia,
without the consent of Maryland and
Virginia, and without the consent Of the
slave owners in such District, and with
out compensation to such owners; nor
shall it interfere with nor prevent the
bringing of slaves into the District by
members Of Congress or others; nor shall
! it abolish slavery in places within the eX'
elusive Jurisdiction of the Federal gov
eminent in States where it exists by law;
nor shall it interfere with the inter-S tate
slave trade.
i. The fugitive slave clause of the
constitution Shall not he construed to
prevent the States from enforcing the
delivery of fugitivcs.
S. The foreign slave trade Us forever
prohibited.
6. The first, second, third and fifth Of
these articles, and the articles of the con
stitution respecting fugitives and the
basis of representation, shall not be
amended or abolished without the con
sent o. all the States.
7. The United States shall pay to The
owners of fugitives who shall be rescued
by violence the full value of such fugi-
tivcs.
Such is the substance of the plan
We declare that it is just, fair and right
and that it ought to be accepted, NortI
and South, as a final settlement of the
present difficulties and Of the slavery
question forever. In the light Of com
promise, slavery comedies more than anti
slavery and both slavery aud anti-slavery
can agree to it without humiliation o.
sacrifice. We mean the anti-slavery, o
course, which does not denounce the con
stituton rs san agreement with hell"
But intelligence from Washington doe
not furnish much ground for hope tina
the republican leaders will accept it.
They are bent OF rule or ruin. They
are resolved that the ChicGgO platform
shall prevail though the Union do perish
