Dismissal of the Charges.
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Aug. 27.-The
United States circuit court was officially
informed to-day that the charges Of murder
against Justice Stephen ]. Field had been
dismissed by the Stockton court. Judge
Sawyer accordingly dismissed the habess
corpus proceedings in the case OF Justice
Field aud said: 1--WE are glad that the
prosecution of Justice Field has bssn dis
missed, founded as it was upon the
sole reckless, and as to him, manifeStly
false affidavit of one whose relation to
matters leading to the tragedy and chose
animosity toward the court and judges,

Field, Is part of the judicial and notorious
public history of the country.
JUSTICES NOT EXEMPT.
"While a justice of the supreme court
of the United States, like every other citi-
zen, is amenable to the laws, he is not likely
to commit so grave an offense as murder

unavoidably involed in any way in a
homicide he could not afford to escape if it
were in his power 20 do SO, and when
the act is SO publicly performed by

in prison with felons, or to
put him in a position to be further do

violent as to be publicly reported not only
then but on previous occaEons to have
threatened his life.
REJoICES AT THE OUTCOME.
ave are extremely glad to find that
through the action OF the chief magistrate
and the attorney general, a higher officer
of the law, we shall be spared the
necessity of further inquiry as
to the extent of the remedy
afforded the distinguished petitioner by the
constitution and laws of the United States
Of enforceiug such remedies as exist and

Since the state proceeding has been dis
missed. let the petitioner be discharged and
