Chandler Libel Case.


The hQJcas corpus case of a. {. Buell..
recently arrested for the alleged libel of
Senator Chandler of Michigan. came up
before Judge Treat of the United States
District Court to-day. The main qucS-
ton to be argued was whether United
States Commissioner Clark had authority
to order the removal of the prisoner to
the District of Columbia for trial. 1t wa>
upon this order that the writ of h15caS
corpus was applied tor but when the
case came up to day, it appeared that
after the writ of hdjcaS coryny had been
issued, Dstrict-Attorncy Patrick found
that under the law of 1874. the comml>-
sioner had no right to so order, ana had
procured from Commissioner Clarke Il
simple commitment of the prisoner to
the custody of United States Marshal Me
Comb of this district To super
cede the order previously made.
This changed the case from
whether the United States Commissioner
had right to order the removal Of the
prisoners to the District of Columhia or
whether the United States District Court
had that authority. \ lengthy argument
was then entered into. Col. james q.
Broadhead, counsel for the defendant,
argued that while the law OF 1874 en-
larScS the powers of the courts OF the
District of Columbia. it does not change
the powers OF other courts. An offender
against the laws of the United States
may be arrested there and sent To- the dis
trct where the otfen>c was committed. bat
there Is no authority to arrest an offender
elsewhere and send him to the District OF
Columbia for trial t. ;. Attorney Pat
rick quoted from number of a"thoTl-
ties and >howedsi hat when the territory
embraced in the District OF Columbia
was cedcd to the United States by the
States of Maryland and Virginia, 1t was
expressly provided that the statute laws
of those States and the common law
were to be enforced in the respective
portions of the territory 50 coded.
Ii an offence aqi. st tn flaws OF the
United States is committed IN that por
tion of the District Of Columbia, that
formerly belonged to Maryland, the Of
fender NAV be arrested no matter where,
and sent there for trial, as though the
territory still belonged to Maryland.

ruc PRESIDENT IN TROUBLE

Gen. Grant is still complaining of Congress,
and insisting that it shall invent some scheme
OF legislation to get him out of his Southern
scrape without wounding his self-esteem.
chs intention of DO longer shOuldering the
"cntire responsibility of sustaining Govern
"ments, of the legality Of which there is so
"much dispute, is well known So tee-
craphed our well-iuiormcd Washington CORE
spondcnt the other day. And now we find
the President haunting the Capitol and urging
his adherents to lose no time in making more
laws for the South and relieving him from his
unpleasant predicament They are ready
enough to extend the Enforcement laws and
vote double appropriations for the army, but
with regard to the real difficulties of the sit
uaion, like the problem of Louisiana, they
are quite as much embarrassed as his Excel
lency, and not at all inclined to take any
responsibility which they can get rid Of.
Gen. Grant need not try to obscure this mat
ter by fussing about the Senate corridors.
There is no question that Congress has been
guilty of gross neglect of duty in refusing to
act upon the Louisiana case, but the last man
in the world to rebuke 1t for that is the Pres
ident of the United States. The only action
required of Congress is a correction of the
wrong committed by the President. Congress
had no hand in the establishment of the Kel
logg usurpatiOn III 1872; that was the work
of Gen. Grant alone Congress had no hand
in dispensing the Legislature last month
that also was the work Of Gen. Grant alone.
If he had confined himself to his constitu
tional functions Louisiana would have been
at peace two years ago under o government
of her own choice, and the massacrcs and
other crimes which have marked her recent
history would never have been committed.
And no man knows better than Gen. Grant
himself that he has had it in his power at
any moment to correct his own blunders.
The greatest fault of Congress in connection
with this matter has been its cOwardly subser-
vience to the Presidents dictatiOn; and if it
is disposed now to repair its own and his costly
blundere, it may as well recognize the impor-
tant fact that it must give up the attempt to
save his reputation and his self-esteem. The
disorder of the South lies right at the sur
face, where everybody sees it except the
Federal Administration. 1t is not dislOyalty,
it is not turbulence. it is not anpathy Of races,

AN EDUCATIONAL ERROR.

Through the American system of education,
from the college to the district school, there
runs a grave fault. 1t has too much rote and
routine 1t wants vitality, freshness, indepen-
dence. The young man throws away forever
his Homer and his Virgil with no cOmpre-
hensiOn Of the heroic strain, nor of the first
rich growths of art, invention, and intellectual
expression. The average boy in the average
expensive private school repeats his Latin
declensons and mumbles his United States
history with no intimate knowledge of his
work, and not much interest in 1t beyond the
momentary excitement of reciting literally
aud getting it over. College authorities have
borne testimony to the failures of the prepara-
tory schools The average girl in the average
expensive private school takes her French,
and her music, and her this and that of serious
learning, and emerges coated with accomplish
nients and information-and utterly incapable
of making her education available If hard neces-
sity should by chance knock at the door, There
is the average public school-pupils rise at tap
of bell, pupils march at tap of bell, fold their
arms at tap of bell, and recite as mechanically
the exact words of the book There is con-
slant toll and trouble about textbooks as if
memory were the only possession to be culti-
waited, and the textbook the only great agent
of education. 1t is, in truth, the refuge OF the
lazy and tho incapable, while to the thorough
and enthusiastic teacher it il only help aud
a reference. When it IL used as a collection
of printed sentences w DO ropeate' to the let
