WHEELING. W. MORNING. APRIL IT, 1876

q question was put to to him would say,
"On the whole l. do. not think
l will answer that question" and
when the Senate committed him for
contempt, then Chief Justice Garter
would nave q right to say, "Take that
man ont of the custody of the Sergeant
alarms, and bring him before me, and
1 will say myself what I think of the
question" This outcry that the House
was undertaking to put itself against
liberty, was perfectly preposterous.
Mr.. Garfield then quoted from
the Mais Parliamentary Law to
the effect that the ha6eas corpus
act is binding on all persons whatever,
and that it is therefore, competent for
judges to have before them persons com.
mitted by buses OF Parliament for con-
tempt. Now they were confronted by
the assertion that one branch of Con-
gress was omnipotent. The proposition
would make the House the
great tyrant of the nation. Let it be
once kno ~n, and every citizens would
be armed IN hostility against the Con-
gress OF his country. He declared him,
self an implacsble foe of the tyrant who
presented himself in such guise. The
position taken to-day would make Con-
gress the most uncontrolled tyrant that
had ever sialked abroad over any
land. He denied that the House was
above the law by delivering up the body
OF prisoner.
Mr.. Hurd stated that he had just been
Informed by the Sergeant-at-Arms that
he had appeared before the Judge this
morning, and hearing the case had been
postponed until Tuesday, he thereto
gave notice he would call the previous
question Monday at 8 o'clock.

McDonald and Ayery.

Mcdonald and Avery.
Gen. Mcdonald and w. D. Avery
left this morning for the penitentiary at
Jefferson City. Mcdonald was gay,
joepse and full of humor, but Avery was
depressed and summed the gaze of the
people at the depot and in the cars.
On the way up Avery regalned his
spirits and became more talkative. He
stated to the reporters on the train
that on his return to Washington after
bis trial and convict here, he found
letter which he had diligently searched
for on several previous occasions, ex-
planning why the two one hundred notes
were sent from st. Louis to
him and to Captain Joseph. He
did not make the explanation
contained in the letter, but expressed the
belief that had it'been in the evidence in
his trial it would have cleared him. He
showed it to Col. Dyer yesterday, and the
latter expressed surprise that Judge
Krum did not make it one of the grounds
for his motion for a new trial.
