SABBATH OBSERVANCE.
The Sunday Cases Agninst the Two
Young Hebrews.

Benjamin and Lowis Freeman, the two
young Hebrews arrested by Policeman
Brandt while at work at their trade as tailors
In their homo at 11S Ensor street, last Sun.
day, have been released from jail on security
given by Mr.. Joseph Friedenwald and have
resumed wcrk. Mr.. Martin Lehmayer, a
young lawyer, has been engaged to defend
them when their cases are called IN the Crimi.
nal Court, and no effort Will be spared to
make their defense as strong as possible. Mr..
Cohen, who rents the house at No. 11S Ensor
street, and employees the two young mon,
speaks very severely OF the conduct OF Onlcer
Brandt In making The arrests. He says he ran
rapidly through the house and upstairs with
out any warrant and without really knowing
that tho men Were at work, rs 1t was impossi-
Bile from the outside to see them where they
were at work In the third story. He also de-
mics the statement made By noighbor that
tho men were in the habit OF working every
Sunday, and says they only worked last Sun
day In order TO be FREQ from work to-day,
which is a holiday with them.
Mayor LatrObo yesterday received the fol-
lowing letter from Mr. Joseph @. G.. Kennedy,
a prominent citizen OF Washington, formerly
connected with the Census Department, In ref.
erenco TO the arrest OF the young Hebrews:

Washington Triplett, tho colored man who
had his head badly cut In the drunken brawl

some colored woman in Marble Hall alley, was

his coming In, and he assaulted her and she
struck him with plate. He was fined $5 for

THE people in the rural districts have,
for long time, suspected that their serv-
ants in Congress were little too much
concerned about the interests of the large
corporations in this country. These samc
Congressman, on all occasions, deny that
they are in any manner interested, aud as
sert that they take no interest in the af-
fairs Of tho railroads further than to look
out for the public good. We take it for
granted, therefore, that Senator German
was looking out for the good of the public
when he was interviewing Commissioners
Edmonds and West yesterday, with view
Of obtaining their views in relation to a
plan for locating the Baltimore & Ohio
passenger depot contiguous to the Bllti-

German is the Attorney of the B. & o?

religion had nothing to do with it.

A sUncoMNfITTEE of the House Judiciary
Committee has agreed upon the following
to be proposed as constitutional dmend-
ment. The object of the amendment is to
prevent Congress from passing law which
will be or can be construed as the Supreme
Court construed the law in the late Green.
back case.
"rhe legislative powers granted to Congress
by the Constitution shall not be construed to
include the power 10 pass any law making
anything but gold and silver coin a tender In
payment OF debts except after declaration OF
war or In case OF rebellion or invasion, when
the public safety may demand It,"
II appears to us that that is the precise
view tho Supreme Court took of the case.
The act upon which the court passed was
enacted under the very circumstances pro-
vided for in the proposed amendment.

those twenty years Of age ana those under twenty.
To attract the former class Is problem OF no ordinary
