THE ENFORCEMENT ACT.


TON 4uasneO-Ine LtDek SuAt, ETC.
LITTLE Rock, Oct. 10.-On the meeting
of the United States Court yesterday, Judge
Dillon announced that they were ready to
deliver an opinion on the demurrer filed in
1.-THE case of ex-Goy. Clayton. Judge Dillon
then delivered quite lengthy opinion. 1t
proceeds at some length to show that States
are integral and essential parts of our gov
eminent !; that it is not necessary to discuss
the question as to whether or not Congress
has power to provide for indicting and
Furnishing a Governor for the discharge
of duty imposed by State authority
for in neither section of the act
under which the Indictment found is the
Governor named. The words selection Off
cersp do not, in their ordinary acceptation,
include the Governor of State. 1t is the
province of the legislative branch of the
government to create and define crimes and
penalties, and of the court to constTue and
apply the law; and it is fixed rule of con-
structiOn, that in no case can they include
persons in its application that are not clearly
within its language. The Governor is not
named within this act, and the court does
not think it was intended to include him.
From the Little Rock Gazette.
As heretofore noticed in our columns, the
attorneys Of ex-Gov. Clayton some days
since filed demurrer to the Indictment
pending against him for violation of the
Enforcement act" the demurrer, of course,
admitting the facts charged, but denying,
as a question of law, that the defendant, for
any official act of his as Governor, could be
indicted under the law in question. 1t was
upon this point the case was decided, though
there were others raised by the demurrer.
Upon yesterday Judge Dillon delivered the
opinion. of, the court, District Judge Cald-
well concGrring, which sustains the defend
ants demurrer, and thereupm the iIdict-
ment was quashed and the defendant dis
charged.
And so, Powell Clayton, charged with a
corrupt act While Governor of the State,
! having chosen to avail himself of techni-
cality rather than submit to a trial on the
! facts goes out of court with his eseutcheon,
and that of the State, which he in part rep
resents in the highest legislative body in the
world, still stained with this charge of so
grave nature. As Arkansians, we would
have preferred that he should have given
| publicity TO the facts of the matter by a
| full trial before a jury, inasmuch as, even
| if convicted, the same legal defence as re-
| leases him now would have availed him af-
I ter that trial, upon a motion in arrest of
| Judgment. 1t will he 1difficult ito convince
| the world that the facts are not Just exact
1 IL what he was afraid 81, and the State must
blush TO know that one of her present SEN
/ atOrs, and the one, too, who was once her
/ Governor, is looked upon everywhere as
virtually acknowledging the corruption in
| office which has been alleged against him.

THE PRAIRIE FIRES.
vivid Description by an Eye Witness
Racing a Stage Coach.
From the LaCrosse Republican,

LAOTOsSe IAcpuDllCdu.
From party lately arrived in this city
from Dakota, who travelled some days
through and along the burning district of
Dakota and Northwestern Minnesota, We
CLEAN the following, We use the language
of our informant: ofG
"FOr some days previous to leaving Chey-
enne river, in Dakota, at point seventy
five miles west of the crossing of the North
ern Pacific Railroad at Red river, dense
smoky atmosphere prevailed, which each
day grew more dense, warning us that i'm
mense prairie fires were approaching our
quarters rapidly, and our party deemed it
prudent to move eastward as fast as possible.
We made immediate preparations,
but found that we were in the saddle none
too soon. The intense heat and weight of
smoke affected us very much, and soon
after starting, we were forced to ride as
rapidly as it was possible for our beasts to
carry us. All through that long day we
tOiled along, our eyes nearly blinded /; with
paTched throat and cracked lips and intense
thirst, we rode on and on, till at night fall
We came in sight of Red river, having rid
den seventy-6ve miles without rest or halt
but once, Glad were the hearts OF our
party, and much rejoicing was there at our
escape from great danger, if not from loss
of life. At points along the route the wall
of flames would be quite near us Its roar
could be distinctly heard many miles, and
its rapid motion was surprising. The line
of fire seemed TO be a solid wall of fame of
about 20 to 30 feet in height, and moved
as rapidly as feet horse could run. DC
casionaIly a portion of the line would
break away in bodies of 40 or more feet
square, and be carried with almost electric
rapidity, a distance of so or 100 rods ahead,
and then strike the. high, dry grass, which
would Immediately ignite aud add its de-

A Lawyers Obligations.

William Allan Butler, a prominent
member Of the New York Bar, delivered
a lecture one evening last week on the
"Reation of the lawyer to his clients. 3"
In the course Of his remarks he said
"Within certain limits lawyer may
forego his own opinion and argue against
his convictions. The responsibility of
decision rests not upon him, and he has a
right to present his clients case and do
whatever the clD mt himself would have d
right to do could he stand il the place Of
his advocate. Bat under no circum-
stances has any client the right to expect
his lawyer, while exerting himself to do
the utmost for his legal rights, to break in
his behalf any one Of the ten command
ments, or to violate single obligation of
true Christian manhood. The LAWYER is
amenable for any supposed infraction of
the rules of right in the conduct of his
cause,to the scrutiny of the courts, to pub
lie opinion and to his own conscience.
At the bar of moral justice the question is
in every case one Of individual RESPONSE
bility, and the lawyer of to-day is more
than ever committed to the original, un-
changeable laws of personal duty. The
root of the evil of which we complain is
not in the bar or in the bench. but in So
ciety, and what is most needed to reduce
the number of offending suitors, lawyers
or judges, is to multiply the number of
good men and raise the standard of indi-
vidual character.
