TOE COUNTY THIEVES. geventesnth Day of the Trial of the Indicted Commise sioners. Judgo Farwell' Decides to Let Car- penter and Mis Little Book Come In, Tesame of the Facts and Fignres Pro- duced by the Pair Beforo the Grand Jury. gx-State's-Attorney Reed's Testimony Saves Bweetzer from the Stand. The Case for the Prosecution Virtually Closed. The attendance In the Criminal Court yester- {lay Was very meagre, the Interest in the mem- pers of the Counly Ring on trial being ap- untly very slight. The prosccutlon scored anotber bull’s-cye, and the lawyers for the defense snd the accuscd themseives were very nervous at what seems inevitable now,—a con- yiction, or. at least, a dlsagrcement of the jury. The arzuments on the admissibility of Car- penlcr’lcunrnnlnn before the Grand Jury hav- {ng been conctuded Thursday night, upon the opening of tho cuurt L JUDGE PARWELL said & great deal of thne lad been taken up in the discussfon of the question, because, as he understood from counsel, It was quite an Jmportant one. not only with reference to the testimony offered, but with reference to that which would bo offcred herealter (Sweetzer's confession). And he knew that it waas a ques- tion of some considerable difliculty, becauss the suthorities were not entirely uniform, and the rinciples which sliould govern Courtain these cases not very clear. Knowing that the counsel on hoth sldes wero very familiar with questions of this character from thelr exteusivo practice, “pe was Inclined to glve them all the time they wanted, ruasonably, to cxamine tho law, Alter hearing what the connsel had to ey, and examining tho authorlties to which {liey hadl referred, he was only contirmed in the Impression that he bad at first,—that the qus- tloa was diflicult one, and tho authorities and opinfons of the press upon the subject were not 1o be reconclled. Iledid not think that the ex- resefons which were sometimes used, and the statenents made by the Judges in discussing the question, to the effect that the only ques- tion to_be considered as tho reason of tho alo applicablo to these cases wns os to whether the confession uf the witness was to bn believerd. ¢ {le thought there was another principlo which was to be kept in view, na well as the question asto whether truth was to bo obtaiucd, umil fiat was that a defendant was not to be compelled to criminate himseif. 1le could not be compelled to turnish a chali, orany links in a chain, which might bind himj andlic bad o right to that protection and the application of that rlnclsflu without any refer- ence to the question whether by boinz com- pelled to answer, whether by beinig put under his cath or beine subjected to imprisonment for contempt for not answering, or being tortur. ol in any way, the truth could be got out. That principle was always to be kopt inmind. That was a 1ight which EVERY MAX 11AD under our lnwes and our Constitution, N was not so in all countrics. It had not heen so in all ages, Different poticies and different customs had provailed with reference togettinz thotruth, and diferent rules had applied; but that was the common lnw of England aud of this coun- try, Iu many cases cmbodled in our Constitu- tions; it was tho law, whether tue Constitution sadd anything about It or not. Anather princi- ple was that when, in a criminal trial, o confes- slon made by & prisoner was soucht to be put in endence, the fnguiry arose, under what cireum- Hanves tho confeesion wns mude. Was it mado under such toree or promised liopes as, on f:rmml rrlnrl\plcs, and according to the rules laid duwn, would deprive it of the quality of reliabiittyl Thers wero twa different grounds with reference ) this subject, whichdld tiot run intoeach other. Oue was that o man should not bo compelicd in any way to criminatn himself. He might stop 1o fuquire in any court, before any tribunal, 1t lic chose, and say, * I cannot auswer thess questlons without rriminating myself, or fur- niehing eviilence which mirhe tend to criminata we sand lead to my conviction.” The onlf dif- fleulty swas to apply these principles, and to sce what hiad been held Ly the Courts,and what, on the whole, the rulo s-vmed to be when it was to lonoplicd to particulur cases, There had not been uniformity regarding it. One cnso did not seem to harmontze with another. Ove principle seetned to be recognized n onc case and another rnciple in another case, and thereforo t wos dificult to tell preeisely what the law was. But as nearly as hocould get at it from the erruments, and the authorities, and the consideration he hina glven the matter, it scemed to bl that the principle which rov- em.d the Courts was this: 1f the nuthiorities of the law touk hold of a man and sald, **You are charged with a certaln erime," and proceeded to some judiclal investigation with referenco to it, thoy had no right to RULJECT 1M TO ANY PRESSUNE for tho purposs of uscortaining whether ho was eullty or not,—to obtaln from him a confesston. 1f they did do that, ke was not deprived .of his rizhts, Any statenicuta mado by him or any documents “produced by bim, to which uo others had “any right could not. be used 10 his prejudive fn any farther proceedinga, T man was not obliged ‘In such a cuse to say: protest,” Tho procecding was illugal, and he was protected, If a complajut wos made be- fore o Uirand "Jury that some one had come mitted n crime, and the aceused was sent for and examined with reference to the alleged erime without protest on his part, without notles one way or the other in reference to hia tichta,—1f hio was not oven informed of what the inquiry was sbout or who was suspected,— the procceding, ho thought, was fllegal aod “whatever Information was wrenelied from the man could never be used agalost him; mor could any documents omnll;cd under such circumstances, ‘Lhia was ::mi:'llm felerence to whether the man was to e : ev‘ed brnot. 1t was for the reason that no u .:ulx n this county sbould be bound to crim- fnate biuseit, 8o far ho had nodount. But anuther question arvse: Bupposs & tman were Bt eliurged with a crime,~were not under ar- feat-bul oo dnquiry’ wes being et tuted as to @ subposed or possiblo crimo with _reference 1o some unknown of- fender, what, then, were the rights of party who might be brought befors the officers of the law or & tridunal( 1n & civil case, if & man arrested—a witneas or o vnn’—-lho’fll‘hl that he could not with safety auswer queations without giving evidence wileh might tend to eviminute hhmeel!, lie had the right to clatm ex- emption,—to insist upon his rizht to decline to answer the qnest'ons or produce documents wlich teuded ta put bim in danger, In thess cases, however, he must clalm fhe benetit,— must throw himself upow his rights, 1f e dig uot, but made statementsor produced aocu. ments, he COULD NOT AFTERWARDS CLAIM EXEMPTION, but was boumd by them, In criminal cases, if varties wers examiued withreforence (o whedher acrime had been committed, not belng arrested for the speitlc crime, or charged” with i, but vame forwand or wis brought forwsrd as 4 Wituess, uud gave evidenie, he understood that that evideues coutd not be excluded because it was under oath or becauss it crimluated, or tended to erimiuute, the witness. When called Upon he could decline to avswer,—could clalm his privitegre under the law and the Coustitn- Honj but, {f ho uuswered, his testimony must be recelved, unless some inioroper influcuce had been brought to bear upon bim. Making noob- Jectlon, he'could not afterwards call to his aid the coustitutional provision or the principle of thie comnmon law, because they did nog'apply to Scase of tbls kind. This was true betore u Coroucr’s fuquest or belury s magistrate. The question agose, Did the rule nprl\' tou proceeding belore a Grand Jury ! 1Hs - Drestlon at tirst was that {tdid not, but atter caring what had been stated on both sides aud exumining the authoritics, he was not able to lcover auy distinciion made either in the re- Em‘ll cases or §n the principle. 1f a GrandJury d ocompluiot mad 1o them that somo per- m-: had committed a crime, and they procecded uvestigute tho matter aud sent for s withess Acainst whow there was 1o charde to ascertaln ‘w.u,_u, a5 fu this case, 60 far as the evidencs wed, the Grana Jury' were mercly inquiriui s |\" Whether the county had beeu ~defrau ded, 2ol fso by whom, oud scot for persons & Wituesses who wers not charged with being Fartics to the fraud, und they gave Lestlumony Without ubinection, withous a pronise, oo THAT TESTINONY MIGHT UE USKD I‘l;'nlmtlhuu giviugat. ‘Yoo fact that Carpen- ‘;""p':. :l&vafimed was Dll m;‘lmnuluncc.

Mr. Swett asked, on behalf of Carpenter, that all the evidence taken in the abscnee of the jury the other day might go in to show tha clr- tmibstances under which Carponter's testimony wus secured.

IIn Views on the Silver Question, Spertal Pispateh to The Chieago Tridune, Nzw Yong, Oct. 12—The Sun's Utlea special gives an interview with Horatio Seymour: “ 1 think," be safd, *'(hat the demfonetization of silver was an unfortunate thing. Itisof no particular consequence whether 1t was ripht or wrong fn ftsclf, it was untimely. It involved a queation with which the people had not been made familiar. We were going along in the rigit direction Uefore that, The country had been made to sco the necessity - and practicablii % . of,, _re- turninz” to A specie Lasie, Now the new question 18 forced upon us, What con- stitutea a specle basis! and on that question great diversity of opinion s developed. Half the number who have contributed thuir clorts {owan! dlsseminating sound financisl doctrines are at variauce with the other half, and the tle- monetization of silver has caused tioudle. The biit Itsell was smurgled through Conaress. 1 ao not imean .:.7 thut to cast reilection on those who introduced or voted for it, but what 1 mean 14 that the people were wholly Ighorant of the seape of the law at the tine ol'its passage.” In regard to the prescot fhactuation of ailver, Mr. 8cymour safd: ** You lessen the value of anything when you lessen its use, The clief ued of siver all over the world is for coln, A general movement looking toward the demon- ctization of sllverin Europe und the United States necessarlly diminished is value some- what, but not very much. I doubt #{ any other commodity, not excepting gold, could stand as firm against such an attack. If eilver were restored to Its old place in our monoetary aystem, I am Inclined to think it would b os valunble now na it ever was, The effect of adouble standard fs that each regulates the other, 1u makiug valuable clocks they have what they call s compensation pendulum, One kind of metal contracts and the other expands with the variations in the woather, and thus a ;mrlcu balanc is proserved, An idea llke that, think, was in the minds of those who mado rold and silver the baals of our coinage, It has not operated badly, 1f those who have studied tho subject fouud that a change was desirable, It was clenrly thelr duty to fully inform aud vdneate the pablic mind betare thoy secured the enactiment. of the law.- As it s, many ‘punple think that this ' Is a move- ment of tho creditor class ogainst the debtor cluss to makemory onerous the burdens of debie; but the bondholders and other creditors must b earcful lest thoy go too far, They cannot afford ta provoke thie antagenism of the debtor clars. They nro entitied to all that law und equity give them, butyit thelr contract Is for Enymcnt [n coln, it {s not for them to dictate the ind of coin. The restoration of stiver to ite old place in our system will not cure the evils which its demonctization produced, Remonctization may even have the effect of lnpairing our eredit. But for the law of 1873 uo such dauger would now threaten us.” T asked, * Would vou have the silver dollar of tne sume value as the gold dollar, or wonld you huve two stundanis as well as two coins{™ [ wounld have them of uu equal value, If pos- alble, but tho determination of that value is part of the problem. As 1 have trled to ex- plain, the value which silver would have If it were restored to - its old place cannot be asce talned by the price it brings now that it is de- monetized. 1 desiro the restoration of silver not as a means of avolting the payment of oo part of our just debts, but becauss silyer fs getting to be nne of the great products of our cauntry, and it {s not desiratle thut the uses of any of ‘our great products should by lessencd.” g, it dbodoag ANN ARBOR.

Mr. Holden related the dotngs of the Finance Com- mittee of the Board at a meeting held yester- day morning, fu which some back taxés had Leen eutlected, and also quoted—or rather read —Sec. 18 of the leislation repurding the parks of the West Division, as tolluwss ‘The sa1d Commiasioners, of clther of them, may be remaved from office by the Circult Conrt of sl county, after trlal and conviclion upon the pe- tition, with sworn charges presented, by nat less thau fen renubic * freeholders of eaid’ T&wn of Weet Chitcngo, and If \Ushall appear at | trial that the satd Commissioner or Commissloners have been gaiity of inledemeanor or malfeasance fn ofice ~ under thls nact, and 0l the sald Court slnil remove any of maid Commiseluners from ofice fur any of ‘soch causcs, Uofore the expiration of his ot their term of ofiice, the Clork of sald Court shall certity tothe Governor of the State of 11linois, under the seal of the Court, 8 copy of the final Judgment of removal. Tho President and Secrelary of the Board shall cartify o the Goveruur wi otlier vacancies arising, or oc- carring i the same ajter the organization thereof, This Mr. Holden professed to regard as a tinul clincher to all arguments relating to the re- moval vt himaclf and his colleagues, In response to aguery by the reporter as to what tne ex-Cominlssioners would do to keep the fiew appolutees out, Mr. Line sald the new Commissiuners would probadly not attempt to take ?o-m»hm of the ofliceuntil the next meet- ing of the Board, which they would most likely undertake to control. Thev would be FORBIDDEN TO TAKE SEA1S by the old Board, and this would doubtless end the matter forthepresent. Snould the new me bers persiat 1o tuking scata, the old Comm sluncrs, lis said, would adjourn the meeting and forbid ~ them hotdlng any mcettog in the Board rooms. Mr. Lipe stated, morcover, that they had no objection to Messrs, McCrea and Woodard vowing in with them, as they had been appofuted in aregular manner, by reasonof a resignution and an expiration of time, Mr. Bonnoy, attoruey for tho ex-Commission- ers, 18 still deiving awny at the law records for proof ot the position which he has alresdy par- thlly taken, aud the moro hie scarches the more Le clalma to tind corroborating his lnpressions, As he views the case, the substanco of the legal position 1s us follows: The Governor has not any unquulifled power of removal; he can re- move only for certain specitic causes, and, therefory, it tnust appear that oneof those causes oxisis, This cun only be doue under charges and proofs. Tho power being urbitran will uot be enlarged by construction, but wifl be strictly voustrued, The Constitution re. quires a charge {n writlng, and specitications under that charge, - Notice must be given to the party, and an opportunity afforded to the party to answer the charge and have # hearing, ot which he may produce witnesses {nhiis defense. 8hould the Governor, upun this Exceutlve inquest, find the purty guilty, as charged, he may then DECLAUE THE OFFICK VACANT and proceed to tll it But another guestion arises, says Mr. Bonney, The Cunstitution con- tinues {n foree all laws not Inconalstent with it, and 1t sty well bo contended that the section of the original Park act remains in force providing an adequate aud convenlent smeuns of removal for cause, it & narrow and very strict construction be adopted, Jt might be contended that the Executive power ot removal 18 limited to the persoual ap- pointees of eacn Uuvervor, These questions are admitted to be new, and have never been passed upon by the Attorney-Genersl, much less de- cided by the courts, and there 18 nothing unfalr or in_any way disrespectful to the Governor for tho Cominissioners torefuse to cunsent Lo an at- tempted removal, without rharges, hearing, or proul, until the vourts shall decide that he hos the power to make such reioval.
