how could Indifference and hostility" have
Deen contemplated or provided against, es-
peelally as coercion Of States Is prohibited?
Inc trouble Is that these judges and other
FedeTal iunctionaries come here with the
spirit OF pachas and satraps to meet "fndif-
ference and hostility" and put it down by
force. They forget that amity Justice, mu-
tual interest ana sense Of security were "the
Ties, as washington expressed it, "that bind
together the various parts" RI these original
motives to union be preserved and promoted
indifference and hostility" will disappear.
Why cannot these men see that the great
object OF political institutions Is to make peo-
pie happy; that of orr union Is to preserve The
States and their included blessings Of liber-
ty'-iiberty OF tbs bodies Of people to protect
and govern themselves; that to preserve the
Union is to keep it voluntary aud promote
amity justice and m utual interest among the
members, and not change the siken bonds of
their frienShip to chatting and finally canker-
ing chains, the iron OF which enters their
souls and tOrtures them into struggles to be
free. This oppressed ana sorrowiDg COM
monwealth is constantly reminded that her
law no longer protects her freedom, and her
people are becoming convinced that their
submission only gains further periured
usuTpation.
IN CONCLUSION,
have honestly, and without partisan preju-
dice, sought to find basis for the conduct Of
these judges, but in vain. They and their
cOadiutors seem to me TO exhibit that deliher-
ate gathering Of men, and intellectual facuI-
ties and forces-with malice prepense-to ac-
compIish an unlawful end, which constitutes
the crime Of conspiracy; and, IL indicted or
impeaehed, as they ought to be, with all their
secret machi9ations with their partisans and
partisan lead is proved, | believe it would be
much easier to convict them before conpe-
tent and impartial jury, than it would be to
convict the Natchitoches prisoners who acted
spontaneously, without conspiring, under ac-
tual danger, with so much wisdom and pru-
dence as to hold the young, and ardent, and
exasperated Of the p0pulace firmly In hand,
and prevent excesses, until the peril passed
and order was restored.
1t is an awful and objectionable wrong for
Federal functionaries TO use the powerful
machinery trusted to them for justice, for an
obvlously partisan purpose, and thereby deep
~ harm II not ruin citizens, while fatally
wounding liberty. 3. j. s.

without more or less tinkering, and
while there is such demand for the

IS best to yield-give it trial. As
times are now, when there is so small
a margin for profit in all Industrial
pursuits, six per cent. is enough for
the money lender. There is a feature
about the law. however, that ought to
be corrected. There is no good rea-

must be party to the act of violation,
should not receive the penalty. Like
other penalties it should 90 into the
puoiic treasury, and any person to
whom the fact is known should have
the right to make complaint. Ifsuch
were the case the public would feel
an interest in the law. 1t would not
be regarded as an uncomfortable law
and instead of sneers the informer
would often receive the thanks of the
public. If Judge Mills could turn the
penalty in this direction he would Sc
cure the passage of law that would

that denunciation of a part of q
treaty not made by the terms of the
treaty itself separate from the rest is
a denunciation Of the whole treaty.
As the other high contracting party
has entered into no treaty obligations,
except such as include the part de-
nounced, the denunciation by one
party Of the part necessarily hberates
the otter party from the whole treaty.
II anl convinced that whatever urgency
might in any quarter or by any inter-
est be supposed to require the instant
suppression Of furih4r immigration
from China,
NO REASON CAN REQUIRE THE IMMEDT-
ATE WITHDRAWAL
OF our treaty protection of the Chinese
already in this country, and no cir.
cumstsnces of so sudden an abroga-
ton of their treaty protection. For
tunatels, however, the actual recession
in the flow ofimmigration from China
to the Pacific coast, shown by trust
worthy statistics, relieves US from any
apprehension that the treatment of
the subject in the proper course of
diplomatic negotiations, will introduce
any features of discomfort CT disturb
ance among the communities directly
affected. Were such delays fraught
with more Inconvenience than have
ever been suggested by the interests
most earnest in promoting this legis-
lation,I cannot but regard the summa-
ry disturbance of our existing treaties
with China as vastly more inconve-
nient to much wider and more per-
manent interests Of the country. /

general considerations of the interest
