Times writes of it as "a relic of barharism,' which
seeing that judges have the same rights and
of redress under the laws for libel or other
injury that other citizens have, is not an unreal
SOnable conclusion, especially in cases where the
contempt is of a theoretical character merely.
The Anne Arundel advertiser eXp presses Its con-
currence i'll the view thus taken, and says that
in a free country, and with an elective judiciary,
it can no pertineAce in hedging about the
authority of the bench with greater pains ana
penalties than are found necessary i'll the enforce
ment of executive authority. In proof of the
position that il cannot be necessary to the dgn1-
ty of the judicial office, the advertiser adduces
the fact that in this State the right is SO seldom
exercised that it is almost obsolete fact which
1t justly observes is an honorable tribute to the
heightened and courteous bearing of members OF
the learned profession, and to the discretion OF
the long line of great and distinguished Judges
that this State can be proud of, even down to
this day"
We sincerely hope that the subject will
be taken up and discussed by the press
until such legislation is had as, whilst
fully protecting courts and their officers
in the discharge of their duties, will main
tain that guarantee of the citizen which
says he shall not be deprived of his liber-
ty but by the judgment of his peers on
the law of the land.

The Supplementary Civil Rights Law

WINoNA, MINI, June 8.-Judge r. r. Nell
son, of the United States District Court, now
in session mere to-day rendered an opinion af-
firming the consttutionality of the Supplement
tary Civil Rights Law, which is believed to be
the first adjudication in this direction by a
Federal Judge. AS Judge Nelson has been a
lifelong Democrat, his emphatic opinion pro-
duces no little astonishment among politicians
as well as lawyers. The opinion was given in
response to a request made 10y the Grand Jury,
before whom case was brought by the Dis
trict Attorney under the Civil Rights bill.

The Next Speakership.

In an elaborate article published IN the Wash
ington Star, discussing the question OF the
speakership of the house OF representatives, 1t IS
calculated that Messrs. Randall and Kerr will
have nearly equal strength, the former,
however, being few votes ahead 1t is stated
that in the event of the failure of Mr.. Randall
to secure the speakership he will not allow the
nomination of either Mr.. Kerr or Mr.. Cox, but
will throw his strength for new man that will
be acceptable to the East and West The
friends of Messrs Kerr and Cox, however,
doubt whether Randall will have the power to
transfer his strength to new candidate. Ran
dals trlenus, on the other hand, evince de-
termination to sink or swim with him. AS to
committees, it is said that should Randall be
chosen there is not the slightest doubt but that
he would assign Fernando Wood to the COM
mittee on ways and means; next, he would
give Kerr the appropriations committee. Cox
would, in the usual course. have good commit
tee, but he has been working so srenuously in
the interest of Kerr that it is to be doubted that
be would receive even higher station than
the committee on foreign affairs, even if he got
that, as Swami of Maryland is entitled to the
position by length of service, and wants the
place. The South will probably get the com
mittee on public laLds, District of Columbia
and war claims, the latter com mittee belonging
by length of service to John 7. Harris OF Vir
ginia, in case Holman is given the commerce
committee. The judiciary committee is wanted
by Heister Clymer of Pennsylvania. But on
the other hand. if Kerr is elected, Samuel S.
Cox of New York will be appointed to the
ways and means committee, Wood will receive
that of appropriations, and Randall content
himself with banking and currency. Kerr would
certainly give Holman most any place outside
of these three he might desire, and indeed
might give him the appropriation committee if
lie Dushed for it. Under Kerr. Swami Is luSt
