He has exercised the unauthorized privf- lege of deciding against whom the should be immune from prosecution. He insisted on the punishment of cer- tain railroads and of certain men for ordered the discont!nuancs ofsthe case against one of his cabinet officers who had confessed that as an official of the railroad he gave rebates to company in which he was stockholder and an official.
