Democratic doctors DiR,r.

In the discussion of the ha5eas corpus
question in the House, in which Mr., HURD
from this District immortalizcd himself by
changing front and making speech
which will be handed down to posteri!y
along side OF that famous speech by PAT
TICK Henry, wherein he used the memoir
able words, "Givc me Liberty, or give me
Death :" there arose from his seat Demo-
cratic brother, Mr.. LYNDE who begged
leave to differ with the gentleman from
Ohio. He stated the case and proceeded
to give his views as follows:
"The question was, whether the House
would deny to citizen of the United
States, imprisoned by its order, the right
OF hearing before court on writ of
hdbeIs corpus. If this precedent were es-
tablished, 1t was important that the Amer
lean people and courts should understand
It. 1t, in the exercise of its privileges. the
House encroached on the liberties of the
people, those privileges would be reviewed
and re-examined, and members would be
returned to the House who would respect
their constitutional rights, and maintain
the liberty OF the people. The gentleman
lliurd) who has just taken his seat speaks
OF authorities In the English Parliament
and the precedent in that Parliament
where the House OF Commons hal refused
to bring the body into court. The last
precedent OF that kind was in l704. Does
the gentleman wish to go back more than
one hundred and fifty years to establish
precedents for this House TO follow in
guarding the liberties of the citizen +?
There has been no instance in this country
where party has been arrested by order
OF any legislative body, and the writ of
ho6eds corpus has been issued where the leg
islature has refused 10 present the body in
court. Here we stand, then, without n
single precedent for the last one hundred
and fifty years OF any legislative body 10
sustain the posiiion that is taken BY this
Committee before the House. The gentle
man who last spoke saws that there have
been cases, many cases. where the body has
not been required to be produced with the
return 10 the writ. There have been two
eases in England where the Parliament re-
fused TO pay any attention whatever TO the
writ. The one was in l645, the other in
lIOi. But from 1904 down to this day
there has been no such instance the body
has always been produced with the return
to the writ"

The Ohio Centennial Ruildinp.

The Philadelphia Saturday Erening Post
OF the current week, presents an ilustra-
ton of the Ohio State building in the Cen
tennal grounds, the first of series that
are being erected by the several States, and
III its comments thereon pays this hand
some compliment to our State:
"The Ohio building will be the center of
attraction to many thousands of visitors
who will find their State most credibly rep
resented by a structure which in architect
ural beauty, construction and appointments,
will compare most favorably with any of
the other edifices of a similar nature.
"The vast agricultural and industrial
interests Of Ohio, which will be well repre-
sented i'll all the departments of this Worlds
Fair, make this State one of the foremost
in all that pertains to the Exhibition.
The whole State has entered into the
Centennial project with ferver and enthu-
Siasm that might be well followed by some
of the other States that are neighbors to
Pennsylvania"

become new again. The truth Of the fore

him of being a literary pirate, and he
