If VIC understand it correctly, ono of the
most outrageous acts of judicial usurpation
ever perpetrated was done yesterday by
United States Commissioner Conley. He
had been hearing the case of S. z. Wells,
charged with violating the Enforcement
Act. lie had gone widely aside of legal
precedent and rule in admitting irrelevant
testimony. y negro witness had sworn
falsely. After he left the room, two police
men, sworn officers, arrested the negro as
the law allows in cases of felony, to hold
him until a warrant for perjury could be
sworn out The arrest was made on the
bridge. Conlcy sent the United States
Marshal and brought the negro back, and
made out All order sending the policemen
TO Jail without hearing.


He finally, after indignant protest by the
counsel, agreed to bail the policemen to
appear at court in the enormous bond of
$4,000 each, which was promptly given
He refused to bail them TO appear in the
morning for a hearing.


This high-handed proceeding has excited
a deep feeling of indignation in the COM

WHAT FALLING OFF Was THERE The
ladies and the connosseurs have been excited
recently by descriptions Of the great Stanton
ruby, said to be worth two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars and to be one Of the finest
gems in the world. Dark beauties have, no
doubt, sighed as they pictured the splendor its
rich color would impart to their charms, fash
ing from brow or neck. More mercenary
minds have, no doubt, reflected on the profits
they might realize out of it as they dreamed
of its weight and purity. But, alas those
stupid, nlatter-of-fact fellows, the lapidaries
have been testing the coveted gem and have
made the cruel discovery that it is soft gar
net, worth one hundred dollars. What pity
for the owner that the illusion could not have
been kept up, at least until the famous ruby
had changed hands

Although the Senate has not achieved much
beyond laying trains for future oratorical ex-
plosions, the House Of Representatives already
presents us with an important bill which it
has passed. The original proposition of the
Naval Committee was considerably modified,
and in certain points we think justly. Per-
haps the least reasonable was the reduction
of the number of vessels from ten to
six, because If, as generally admitted, we
sadly need serviceable addition to our navy,
other conditions being satisfied, it is unwise
to defer the construction Of the required
number. Mr.. Garfeld's amendment requir-
ing full plans and estimates to be reported to
Congress and an appropriation made before
work is commenced, was much more to the
point, as the necessity for strict super
vision over these details is too well
known to need comment. The vote
on Mr.. Hales amendment giving half of the
vessels to private shipyards for construction
indicates the force which the compromise
coalition wields in the present session, the
result being probably large slice for the
shipbuilders of Maine and Pennsylvania. We
hope that the Senate will take this bill up
without delay and let the country have some
war vessels that it con rely on. The amusing
episode in the debate by which the ''pig-iron"
champion received o short and sharp lecture
on inconsistency gives promise of liveliness,
even tor the short time the present Congress
has to live.

Several days ago we published brief review
of VIM. Lloyd Garrison's letter to Senator Sum-

RoxBURY, June /,
Dear Mr.. Sunner:-I owe it to YOU to say.
with all the frankness which sober friendship
justifes, that have carefully read your speech
in sharp arraignment of the President, and my
conviction is that it is ill-judged, ill-timed and
10 extrayagant in its charges and bitter in its
personalities as to neutralize whatever of Just
criticism can be found in it. 1t will assuredly
serve the purposes OF the worst foes the cause
Of impartial freedom has most to fear very
many of them now rallying under the deceptive
banner of Liberal Republicansm but the loyal
liberty upholding the party with which you have
hitherto been proved to be identified will paruse
1t with deep regret il not with unfeigned aston
shment. Certainly you don represent Massa-
ehusetts in this sweeping impeachment Her
Republican people are almost unit for the re-
election of the man whom you at empt to stain
with crime and cover with infamy. You cannot
separate General Grant from the party which
put him in the Presidential chair, and which
means to keep him in it, il it is possible another
term; being satisfied as to his ability, integrity,
and patriotism, and, therefore, in stigmatizing
him as Yenal self-seeker and an uLscrupulou.
usurper you virtually pronounce it to be equally
corrupt and untrustworthy.


This you have the right to do on your own re-
sponsibility, if you must but in so doing you
will find yourself for the first time in marked
opposition to the sentiment OF Massachusetts az
its Senator in Congress and surrounded by alice
who have heretofore been your deadliest enc
mics.


Occupying, as l do, an outside position,
write this not under party bias and only be
cause feel constrained in this manner to fret
my mind


As proof of my friendship, receive it in tn,
spirit which has dictated it. Faithfully and re-
spectfully yours,

There is a prevailing opin-
ion, in certain localities, that
vaccination will "run out" in
Seven Years; and that persons
who would shield themselves
from the smallpox, should re-
peat the process Of vaccination
once in every seven years. That
this opinion is erroneous, we
do not enter tain the shadow of
a doubt, As well might we
insist that a person would be
liable to a second attack of
smallpox, or any other con-
tagious disease, after seven
years.


The theory Of "running out"
is not founded on pathological
principles, but is strictly a
chimney corner physiology
that will not bear the test Of
science, reason or experience.


We would caution all, how>
ever, to be careful to know
that vaccination has taken
once, thoroughly, and when
this is atfirmatively settled, all
may dismiss their fears about
smallpox,


That varioloid may occasion
ally occur after effective vac
cination, we admit, but after
the patient has had the small
pox it may also occur; but in
neither case will it be severe
nor dangerous.


We think the above views
will be endorsed by the medi-
eel profession, generally.
