MISS ASruosrs PINE.
Ednnnds. from, the Judiciary Committee, by
unanimous consent, made q report upon he
petition Of Susan .. Anthony for The remission
Of the fue imposed upon her by the Uniied
States District Court for tho Northern Dstricttol
New York, and bill introduced to the Senate to
enable her to pay her fine. He aaid the Com
mittee report adversely. and asked that
tho COMMITTEE be discharged from further
consideration Of tho subject, for tue
reason that the Committee did not feel
satisfied that tho statement contained in the
petition in respect to the rulings of the Judge Of
the Northern district OF New York WAS precisely
rs represented by the petitioner. And again,
tho Committee did not believe it had tho power
to review United States Courts. II petitioner
thought her conviction erroneous. she could
apply to tho Executive, who had tho power to
pardon her. Tue Committee WAS dlschargea
from further consideration Of the subject, aud
the bill vas indefinitely postponed.
Mr.. CARPENTER, expressing LIS Vows as
minority OF the SouAte Judiciary committee,
regarding the memorial OF Susan T. Anthony,
SAYS tho decision Of tho Court on her trial was
erroneous in taking the case from the jury and
directing the verdict. and refusing the request
OF her counsel to have the jury pol1ed. thus de-
nying to the jury not only the moral right, but
even the power, Of rendering verdict
OF not guilty. Mr. Carpenter concurs
with tho minority Of the Committee
that Congress canno. grant tho precise
it to be the duty OF Congress- to declare ':s dis
approval Of the doctrine assorted md course
pursued in the trial Of Mss An thony aud ali the
more for the reason that no Judicial Court has
jurisdiction to revle" the proceedings therein
