The Case Of james Ii. Pronunciation to
Admit TO Bail.
At the last term OF this court, James B. Freeman,
an officer OF the Internal Revenue Department, was
convicted OF the charge OF extorting money as
brbe or blackmai from Henry Budleman, OF Harlem
during the fall OF last year. On that occasion an
arrest OF judgment was entered, and sentence did
not follow conviction. The motion In arrest OF Judg
ment having been heard by Judge Benedict he or
dered that the case should argued before him and
Judge Nelson on appeal. This day Mr.. Malcolm
Campbell moved that, pending the arguments before
the court OF appeal the prisoner should be admitted
TO bail. Counsel grounded his application upon the
fact that the prisoner had already suffered five weeks
Imprisonment, and II held in prison pending the ar
guments before the full court 1t would be ruinous to
him and great hardship should the appeal be de-
cided in his favor Mr. Bell, United States Assistant
District Attorney, said he had no objection to the
motion. The prisoner had been convicted Of mis-
demean0r. and he would not oppose his being admit
ted TO bail pending the motion before the full COURT
The Judge ordered that he be admitted to bail In

"Mr. BUTLER said that the Managers
of the House would be bound hand and
foot by this decision" The decision
here referred to, in the telegraphic report
OF the proceedings of the High Court, was
that the Chief Justice is the proper per-
son to decide in the first instance points
of law or eyidence-as the Presiding
Officer Of the Senate, sitting to impeach
the President of the United States. This
ruling was made by the Chief Justice, in
view Of his high responsibilities under
the Constitution. II was 8 deliberate
and matured Judgment of the highest
judicial officer Of the Government and is
most clearly a sound and correct view OF
bis duties, under his solemn oath Of
Office. Aud yet by this the Impeach-
ment Managers acknowledge themselves
to be bound hand and foot" Bound
by the decision OF the Chief Justice!
Bound by the Constitution Bound by
Justice! This Ear be regarded as moth
ing less than treason aud disloyalty.
WHIST right haSthe Chief Justice to place
any constitutional restriction-any legal
manacles upon the sacred hands and
feet Of the Managers? Strike off the
manacles and let the dagger and the
brand be upiiftsd high in the very Tenn
pie Of the Constitution by the hands OF
Radical loyalty.
