SENATE.
The Chair laid before the Senate COM
munication from the Secretary of the Treas
ury, transmitting, in compliance with the
recent resolution OF the Senate, testimony
| taken by the committee of Treasury Off
GERS relating to the performance OF the du-
ties OF the Office Of supervising architect.
The letter was ordered to be printed, and
with accompanying papers referred to the
Committee on Public Buildings and
| Grounds.
The Senate took up the bill making all
public roads and highways post-routes,
which was debated by Messrs. Plumb,
Hale, MaXey, and Sawyer, and after a
slight amendment passed.
The consideration OF the bill debated
yesterday relating to national-bank circula-
| ton was resumed, and Mr. Beck spoke at
length in favor OF the bill.
| Mr.. Morrill, opposed it at equal length.
In fact, nearly all the speeches delivered
during the discussion have been long.
Several amendments were offered and
advocated in speeches Of greater or less
length by MeSsrs. Morrill,, Aldrich, Vest,
and Morgan.
MIR. Morgan's amendment provides for
the use OF State D0nQs IN the same manner
that United States bonds are now used, as
security for national banking circulation.
Mr.. Plumb was about to address the Sen
ate upon the bill reported from the COM
mittee when the Senate went INTO eXecu-
tive session, and when the doors were re-
opened adjourned.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
Mr.. McKinly, OF Ohio, presented tel
egram from Cleveland, o.. detailing the de-
struction occasioned by the Ohio floods,
and recommending that Congress increase
to $1,0O0,OO0 the appropriation for the re-
lief of the sufferers, and it was referred to
the Committee on Appropriations.
On motion OF Mr.. Singleton, OF Missis-
sippi, Senate bill for the construction OF q
library building was taken up from the
Speakers table and referred to the Com
mittee on Library.
The House then resumed the considera-
ton OF the contested-election case OF Chal-
mers against Manning.
A number of members participated in
the debate, and pending further discussion
the House adjourned.

NEWSPAPERS AND COURTS.

Newspapers are gradually getting their rights defined. The Supreme court of the State of Michigan has just rendered an opinion of much importance concerning the right of newspapers to criticise the doings of courts of justice. The Detroit Post and Tribune having said that police justice of that city had fixed bail in certain case at an unreasonable amount and commented otherwise unfavorably, was sued by the jus tice for libel and defeated in the lower court The Supreme court reversed the decision. Chief Justice Cooley, delivering the opinion, calls attention to the vital importance of keeping public attention constantly directed upon the conduct of courts of justice. The decisions of police justice he regards as a matter of grave public concern and the manner in which he discharges the func- tions of his office is therefore perfectly proper subject of newspaper discussion. Such criticism as that of the Post and Tri- bune is declared to be privileged.
 This decision is encouraging to all who be- lieve in proper freedom of the press. As the Springfield Union well says: It is natural for lawyers and judges, the special instru- Il6LGS O1 JuSIlC0, GO dSSuI1O d D6Cu1Ar OlS- nifty, and, doubtless, the average justice of a petty court cannot readily understand why his right to fine an impudent witness for contempt of court should not extend to 8 caustic journalist. The right and interest of the public in the preservation of it's liberties makes the difference. Courts are only means to an end That end is the maintenance of civil liberty; the upholding of the equal rights of all men within the forms of law and order. There are no more insidious en- croachments on these sacred rights than those that make themselves felt through in- competent and corrupt judges. There would be no safety for freemen if the right of the press to criticise judicial proceedings without fear of being called to account were once de nied
 Some recent decisions in other States have not been very encouraging to newspapers which seek to do their best for the communi- ties in which they are published. This is, and we congratulate the Post and Tribune on the successful issue of its attempt to do 8 good thing
