the black eagle, and those Of Poland

the eagle for the emblem Of imperial

IT Is becoming evident to the most Oh
fuse minds that the House of Representa-
tives has made a great, if not a ludicrOus
mistake in its recent attempt to ride two
horse act in the case of Mr.. Hallett Kill
bourn. If he is guilty of misdemeanor,
as the law defines his Offense, then the
court only has the right and the power TO
determine it. He has an undoubted right
to a trial by jury, as guaranteed by the
Constitution. The House is as much amen
able to the Constitution as are the courts
and the Executive. The law of Congress
is mandatory upon the presiding Of
fioers OF the Houses as to certify
ing cases like that of Mr.. Xii
bourn to the judiciary. If these Houses
intend to enforce their claim to higher priv
ileges, they should at least repeal chapter
seven Of the Revised Statutes. There can
certainly be no dual jurisdiction in the
case. If Mr.. Kilbourn is in contempt oi
the House, after having been certified tC
the jurisdiction of the court, then also i:
the House in contempt of the court FOL
disobedience of its process. To hold 10 the
contrary is to set up the will of the House
above the Constitution and the laws made
in pursuance thereof by the two House:
and the approval of the Executive. 1t 1:
to trAmple under foot the dearest rights o.
oitzenship-trial by jury and the writ o
Rabeas corpus. Will any one pretend tha
a single House of Congress has this power
Can any line of precedents, however long
give If such power: Was not the passage
of chapter seven of the Revised Statutes {
tacit yielding of all pretense to such power
of privilege?

sumption Of authorityi Was there ever
more fis grant disregard Of individual rights
and violation of individual liberty than the
Imprisonment of Hailet Kilbourn1 When
the honest citizens Of this broad land fully
appreciate this great outrage on individual
liberty, whether they are Democrats or
Republicans, their breasts will be filled
with just indignation.
Speaker Kerr might as well have sent
Mr.. Kilbourn to prison for refusing to de-
liver the key of his safe to the committee.
Either he or some one else is culpable be-
fore the law for au unjust, unwsrrantabie
assumption of authority to look into and
examine into private affairs, where no al
legation Of wrong exists against the person.
1t is simply monstrous assumption oi
authority
A citizen is commanded to bring before the
committee many books and valuable deeds
whatever, in fact, concerned his vital in
terests-and place them at the disposal OF
entirely irresponsible persons. Should these
valuable papers and books be lost, to whom
would Mr.. Kilbourn look for pecuniary re-
dress for the arrangement Of his business
This demand seems incredible, when cou,
pied with the fact that nobody has accused
him or his associates of wrong doing.
The "conquering heroes" have come.
During the civil war they came near, but
did not enter Washington, unless singly
and in disguise. Now they are here, and
with the strong arm of privileged and per-
verted power, aided by their Northern al
lies, they imprison a citizen without alIeg'
ing that he has been guilty of fraud, oI
aught indeed that in any way conflicts with
the proper pursuit of his vocation.

THE friends of the adventurer, d. H.
Chamberlain, are at present busily en-
gagged at an attempt to blackmail the South
Carolina Republicans into sending him as
a delegate to the Cincinnati convention.
They act upon the hypothesis that because
Chamberlain has temporarily laid aside
his role as corrupt lobbyist and prates so
loudly for reform he is too influential for
the party TO slight his claims as candi-
date. The following extract from letter
addressed TO o member of Congress from
South Carolina by prominent Republican
in that State fully explains the Chamber
lain tactics:
<tChamberlain and his friends are industri-
ously circulating the report that the Governor
has been invited by the Republican Congress
sioual committee at Washington to head 4
bOlting delegation to Cincinnati, with the
assurance that under no circumstances would
the committee favor the seating OF a regular
delegation composed Of such men as Elliott,
GleaYes, Jnlson and Others
We positively state that no such intima-
has been given the man Chamberlain or
any of his friends. The fact is that the
indecent anteccdents of Chamberlain create
the hope that he will not be sent to Gin
cinnati as delegate, and South Carolina
had far better be unrepresented there than
TO send this creature. The party remem-
bers how he has been catering to the worst
prejudices of the rebel Democracy, and he
has recently been made so odious to the
masses of the North that his presence at
Cincinnati would work serious detriment
to party prospects. Chamberlain has been
recently shown up IN his true colors, and
we advise South Carolina Republicans to
leave him severely alone, thus giving him
an insight to the insignifcance to which he
will be remanded in November next

who evidently inspired the srticle; but it
is a matter of some interest to the general
public, who desire to be released from the
despotism Of Jay Gould's monopoly and
to have route ACROSS the continent that
can be Travelled at all seasons of the year
Such an error in geography can be over
looked in newspaper which adds up three
times three and four and makes twelve of
it. But such displays of ignorance and
stupidity or falsehood do not inspire conf
dence in the paper that is guilty Of them.
The same article says the friends Of the
Texas and Pacific bill are afraid to bring
it before Congress. The Nation,
if it knows anything, which we
are disposed TO doubt, ought to
know that the delay in bringing
forward the Texas and Pacific bill is more
attributable to that Gear load Of money"
which jay Gould's friends bossted they
would use. and a portion of which was
so judioiously expended in the Virginia
Legislature, than to any other cause. The
friends Of the Texas and Pacific bill are
anxious for that measure to be judged
upon its merits, and it will be before the
session is concluded.
National Republican., 1876-03-31
MISREPRESENTATION CORRECTED

The weakness of cause is always most
plainly shown when Misrepresentation is
resorted to to sustain it. The opponents
of the Texas and Pacific railroad bill and
tho iackals of Jay Gould have relied on
hard, barefaced lying to carry their point.
The latest instance of this kind is an article
in the New York Nation, which tells or
presends to tell about the branches pro-
vided for in the Texas and Pacife-bill. 1t
says that there are three branches-one
from Shreveport to New Orleans, three
hundred miles long; one from the same
place to Eicksburg, three hundred miles
long. and one from jefferson, Texas, to
Memphis, three hundred miles long. A
TerJ superficial knowledge Of geography
would have shown the Nation that the dis

SEE, THE coNQUERING HEROES CONE"
TO INVESTIGATE THE REAL ESTATE

Perhaps the most notable act of the
present House of Representatives has been
the appointment of a committee to investi-
gate the Washington real estate pool and
the proceedings Of that most extraordinary
committee.
Let 1t be understood fully that no one
has appeared before Congress to assert that
fraud has been perpetrated, or that it is
feared that one will be perpetrated. 1t is
purely gratuitous examination into she
private affairs of individuals against whom
no wrong or fraud is alleged. A fimsy
pretext was asserted that the committee
wish 10 secure the interests of the. Govern
ment in case frauds should be found per-
tanning to Jay Cooke & Co., but the spe.
ciousness of the pretext is disclosed by the
unequivocal denial of Kibourn that Jay
Cooke & Co. had any interest III the
pool.
Admitted, it may be, that 'real estate
pool" did or does exist In Washington;
that it bought squares of ground, built
upon them, sold houses and realized hand
some dividends, as it might very properly
and fairly do. and with advantage to buy
ers as well as sellers, which is presumably
the case, as none OF the "poor' complain
of losses, nor does any one who has bought
of the 'pool'' or sold to it assert that q
wrong has been perpetrated upon him.
In other cities, where individuals or
companies have built in like manner, and
in buying and selling have not had al
legged frauds urged against them, they have
been hailed as benefactors. Whatever
they have gained has been 1.-The legitimate
result of increased value of property, grow.
ing out of an economic and judlcious ex-
penditure of capital. 1fsuch is the fact the
