ton; in the modification of the amend
ment laying damages upon property in
the vicinity where the political outrages
were committed. However 1t had been
in other countries, no such principles had
ever been laid down in the United States.
He knew oi no authority in Congress TO

tor such purpose.
Mr.. EDMUNDs remarked that the po-

He was indeed earnest for abolition Of

one lingering eight days. The other
three recovered and have resumed their
duties. The cause Of the explosion will
