VExATIoUs SUITs.-The "peace men" are
great shcklers for "law," the courts, etc. At
least they pretend to be. They are continually
appealing to the law, if not to the testimony
When Congress, last year, passed an act to pro-
tect the President from vexatious suits that
might be brought against the Government by
persons who had been summarily arrested on
charge Of disloyalty, they made a great outcry
against what they called the uncon institution
allty OF the proceeding. That sindemnity act"
they said, would never be sanctioned by tn
courts, and hence, in order to make a case,
Geo. w. Jones, late Minister to Bogota, whom
MT. Seward felt il his duty to cage in Fort La
fayette for brief season, not long since, took
it into his head to bring an action against that
gentleman for false Imprisonment claiming
damages to the modest amount of S5o,00Ol
In the course of litigation, the case at length
came up before the Supreme Court, in New
York, Judges Leonard, Sutherland and Clarke
on the bench, and on MONDAY decision was
made. The mojority of the Court decide that the
Indemnity Act is constitutional and that hence,
Mr.. George w. Jones and the Opposition" are
practically out of court.
