WASHINGTON, April 10.-As the
discussion on Senator Bells case
progressed in the Senate yesterday
more interest was manifested. Gar
land, Wallace and Carpenter made
speeches against admission. The
latter created considerable amuse-
ment by reading extracts from the
Congressional record of last ses-
sion, showing that when a bill au-
thorizing the existing Legislature
of New Hampshire to elect Sen.
ator was under discussion, Blaine
and other Republican Senators
maintained that in case of no elec.
tion by the Legislature the Gov
ernor of the State would have no
authority to appoint pending
meeting of the new Legislature,
and that Thurman, Whyte and
other Democrats took an exactly
opposite view. Carpenters speech
was legal and very strong. Groome,
OF Maryland, followed, and in
short speech, took q decided stand
In favor of Bells admission. Ker-
nan was the next Speaker, and

DOES

We are enjoined by some poet or
sacred writer-we DON'T know to
which category the gentleman be-
longed. but We think it was the
Apostle PAul-to "hold fast to that
which is good" A la.e writer in
the San Francisco Bulletin, of
April sth, evidently reveres this
precept, by whomsoever uttered.
Writing of the old Constitution
and the new. he says:
That the present Constitution
and laws are amply sufficient to
reach dishonest bank Directors is
evidenced by the recent decision of
the Supreme Court of this State,
published in the Bulletin of the
5th and the Call of yesterday, in
which John G. Downey, ex-Gov-
ernor of the State-at present a
writer in favor of the new Consti-
tution-has been made to hand
over to the stockholders of q bank
cert ain property which he sought
to retain for himself on transac.
tion in which he (being President)
loaned money of the Farmers and
Merchants Bank of Los Angeles;
the property sought to be retained
being bonus agreed to be given to
him for his own use, in addition to
the interest on note executed to
the bank by the borrowers. Says
Chief Justice Wallace: "The law
will not permit them (the Direct
ors) to make a private profit for
themselves in the discharge of their
official duties," aud referring to
the decision, adds: "When agents
and others acting in fiduciary ca
pacity, understand that these rules
(the rules prohibiting Directors,
ETC., from making a private gain),
will be strictly enforced, even
without proof of actual fraud, the
honest will keep clear of all deal
ings falling within their.prohibi.
tion, and those dishonesty Inclined
will conclude that it is useless to
exercise their wits in contrivances
to evade it."
1 ask, Is there any section of the
new Constitution so plain and as
clear as the law laid down in the
above decision, made under the ex-
isting Constitution and laws?
On the contrary, the new Con-
stitution Is so ambiguous in refer
ence to the rights of stockholders,
that the Ex-Governor may be able
to interpret it so as to permit just
such q transaction as the Supreme
Court have. under the existinp
Constitution and laws, so clearly
denounced.
In conclusion, to adopt the lam
guage of the Ex-Governor for the
old Constitution): at is an admir-
able document. 1t is eclectic, and
meets the requirements of the
times. IF the old Constitution
were let alone and not debauched
to suit litigants and friends, there
would be no necessity for the ordeal
through which We are now pass.
ing. There is nothing in
it but simple justice. All that Is
said against it is mere denuncia-
ton, born of prejudice. y
No matter what hair splitting gen.
tlemen may say against 1t, it is as
nearly perfect as our age and in.
telligence will permit"
So m uch for exGov. Downey on
the Constitution.
1t is a curious fact tina the Chron,
icle, protesting to be the friend of
the "poor man." does not call the
attention of its subscribers to the
above decision.
