THE CASE OF MR. NEVINS. Tho case of Faanx E, Nevins, Toe. Tarn. une's Logralative correspondent who is now incarnerated in jail at Springfield on o chargo of contempt, bids fair to becomo ono of great historical ominenco ond intorost. Tho ease is very important Wocause (1) it in- volvoa the personal rights of tho American sitizen,—aond thnt is a question that hos been warmly debated during tho Inst hundrod years; (2) it is of considernbla consequence to the student of palinmentary practice and Precedent ; and (8) it is n caso that posacases somo legal aspects to which tho attention of low-makers and jurists has not beon given to tho dogreo which its great importance seome to require. To the ortinary compre- hension it sounds strangoly cnough to say that 8 man has beon sent to prison who ig not guilty of nor even anconsod of the commission of any crimo, and that ho has beon'sont there, not by the decision of acourt of justice that has boon established to punish infractions of tho statutes, not aftor a verdict Las boon found against him aceording to the forms of Iaw by a jury of his peors aftor a fall and impartial trial, nor by any act of Congress, but becanso tho lower branch of tho Illinois Gonoral As- sembly, ins momont of blind passion, saw fit to ndjudge him guilty of contompt. In this country wo do not imprison for dobt, inurderers ara ofton admitted to bail until the day of thoir trial, and the wholo theory and practice of our jurisprudenco isto joal- ously guard the rights of the citizen. But hero is on innocent man who has been do- prived of his liborty, imprisoned in a filthy jail in company with the vilest laow-break- crs, diagracod in tho oyes of his fol. low-vitizons, denfed privileges that hu. ‘manity often necords to confessed criminals, beenuse he hos refused to answer a round- about quostion that was without portinonoy or relevancy to the matter in hand, aud which wonld have boon ruled ont tho of Justice's Court at the Confedornte oross-ronds, Indoed, the question that Mr. Nevins rofusod toannwer did not rolate in any way to what he kuew of his own knowladgo, but simply to what ho had heard, and which, if frankly answered, would havo thrown no light whatever upon tho mattor that tho question was about, But the rocatoitrant witness had more respect for his word of honor paasod toa friend in a pro- fossional way than ho bad foar for tho mom- bers of a Smelling Committee that cuts such fantastic tricks before high Heaven as mako all the angola blush, Aud what the poo- ple of Ilinois and all tho other States of this Union*aro intorostod in Imowing is, whether it is consistent with tho spirit and genius of our froo institutions to allow suck tyranny and opprossion to bo oxorcised by an irresponsible body, tho frao- tional port of the Inw-making powor, that cannot on its own motion prohibit a gooss from running at Iargo in any public highway in Illinois, ‘The pointe fhat we mako in thia connection aro, that tho Committco kad no right to ask tho witness tho question in regard to o hearsay report; that ho should have been oxcusod fn refusing to answor, and that, if considered in ‘contompt, ho should hava been turned over to tho custody of the SergeanLnt-Arms, aa is the anal prac tice in nenrly all such casos, and not sont to jail. Wo hove nlroady citod the notion of the United States Senate in 1800, in a caso of contempt almost precisoly almilar to that of ‘Nevins, excopt that Wrouram Duane, tho editor in contempt, aggravated his offense by rofusing to appear at the bar of the Sen- ate, as directed in tho warrant, and he waa simply turned over to the custody of tho Sergonnt-at-Arma, ‘Tho case of Nevrna will bo of ‘intorest be- onuse, before. the Inst is hoard of it, the Su- preme Court of Illinoia will bo called upon to poss in reviow tho power of oithor branch of the Legislature to punish a man in this way for an alleged contempt of ite authority, aud whother an ignorant and malicioua major ity of ono House is clothed with tho romark. able powor by tha Conatitntion and Inwa of this Btate to imprison aman indefinitely who is moroly guilty of a broach of otiquette, Wo are woll awaro that it has alwoys been hold that tho power is inberent in both Touses of Parliament and in both Ifouseaof Congress to punish for contempt; but tho quostion now comes to usin n sharply defined caso whether 4 uilizen of Minols bas any rights which aither Honso of tho General Asserably is bound to rspect, If Mr, Nevina is un- justly and illogally restrained of his hberty, if it oan bo shown that ho is falsely impria. oned and maliciously prosconted, thore ought to be some method by which the great wrong that has beon inflicted upon him can bo ro- dressed, We do” not avold tho foot that eithor Houso has tho powor to punish for contempt of its privileges, but wo have now arriyod at that pasa whon it important to tho cause of porsonal Uborty that auch power to punish shall bg more definitely defined, and rostrioted to roasonablo limits. Once tha King’s Bench doclded that it was Inwful for the King to lovy ship money withont the authority of Parllamont, but tho hard. headed Englishmen objected go. stubborn. jy that the samo Court took tho back track, and rendored a contrary opiulon, And so‘ it may be that the anclont privileges of parliamontary bodloy need reconstruction and: abridgment 89 an to conform moro closely with our modern olvilization and our idoas of porvonal liberty, ‘The quostion asked Mr, Nevin was osson, Hally frivolous and irrclovant, and seoms to have boen prossod by tho Committee on purpose to involve him in constructive con- tompt aa soon as they found him Inclined to regard his professional honor, ‘Thoy havo 4ince found out from another and moro re- Mable quartor, and in au official inanuor, all they could hava ascertatacd from ‘fux ‘Tnin- ‘vxB's correspondent, and ono would think that they might mow be willing to rolvaso. THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: MONDAY. APRIL 14, 18 him from tho iron olutch of tho Sangamon County Jail, : 7 Rapidly passing events havo tidod tho eno over tho point of necessity, if any nocossity ovar existed, and now it has crystallized into one of mero malignant hatred nnd perse- oution on the part of the Houso. If Mr. Nevis had hoen really guilty of an offonso against the authority and dignity (?) of tho, Tlouse of Ropresontatives ns ombodiod by Par Banrr's Smolling Committoo, and if it had been impossible to get at the gront aa- erot of tho corrupt practices that have mani foxtly disgraced tho prayent Legislature ox- cofft from on corrosponddfft, ovon thon there ought to bo some limit to the punishment than can be inflicted for such nn alleged of- fonso. Or is it tho contompt which ovory honest man in [lnoia justly feola for somo of tho ‘organized idiots at Springficld, like tho sin agninst the Holy Ghost, whioh is noither to be forgiven in this world nor in tho noxt? A STATE'S-RIGHT DISTINOTION, ‘The debnto in tho Honse on Satnrday Inst brings out o now paso of tho Domocratio dostrine of State Rights, aud mokes o dis- tinotion which is quilo novel. It was claimed by the Brigadiors quito oarly,in tho session that the QGoneral Government had no right to establish a quarantine or take any sanitary mensures that would prevont tho yellow fover from outering tho South and sproading ovor the country. ‘Tho Bouthorn cities nro notorionsly dirty and unhonlthy, and it is oqually notorious that they won't clean up their dirt, a8 tho white people won't work, ond the blacka don't want to work for nothing, having the mjstakon iden thot they are free mon, ani therefore untitled to com. pensation for their labor. , It is notorious alee that the police reguintions for enforcing annitary mensures aro not carried out, and that yellow fever in consequence hns an unobstructed ficld “of operation. Lnst summer tho charitable pooplo of the North camo forward voluntarily, opened thoir hearts ond pockets, and holped tho South out of its wrotchod plight. Ag nll tho signs of n roturn of tho disense this summer wero apparent, the North conceived another humane project for Southorn rolicf by tho introduction of a bill authorizing the National Governmont to uso its monoy and powor to do for the South what it cannot do for itsolf,—namely: ostablish rigid quaran- tines and ward off tho threatenad visitation of this horriblo disonso, Immedintoly the Con- foilorate Brigndiers sroge, with Virginia ot thoir head, and furionsty donounced this humanitarian project ag an invasion of State Tights, and an unwarrantable and insolont interforonco with tho funotions of tho States, They were willing that the Northorn pooplo should contribute thoir money and supplics to help tho South in its oxtromity, but the Goneral Govarnmont should never intorposo its powerful arm and hold the yollow monster at bay,—never, nover, not ovon ‘hardly ever.” But one man of tho whole Southorn delogation, and ho the ono who -hnd re- mained at his post like a hero Dghting the yol- low fover,—the Hon. Casry Youno,—bnd tho mantiness to stand up and support tho bill, whilo tho othor Brigadiors, who had rusti. cated in the healthy Northorn citios during the progress of the epidemic, bellowed their haired of the Federat powor and their lovo of State Sovorsignty. Now, aftor this display of malice toward tho Goneral Govornment ond of dotermins- tion that it shall not intorpove ita power in bohalf of sick mon, come these samo Brign- diors, with Virginin at their bead again, and adk the Gonornl Govornmont to spond its money and interposo its power in behalf of sick cows in tho South; in othor words, to authorize Federal officers to visit Southern farm-yards and kill all cattle suspected of having plouro-pnenmonta. It scoms, thon, that in tho minds of tho Southorn Brigadiors thero is, so far ns State Rights aro con. corned, radical difference botwoon man’ with tho yellow fovor and » cow with tho plouro-pnoumonia or a hog with the cholora, Cho Qonoral Governmont can help the hog, but it must not help the man, ‘This fa inconsistent on fa faco, If the Gov- ornmont cannot interfere to provent yellow fover, it has uo right to oradicato plonro- pooumonin, If it must not como to tho ro- lof of sick mon and womon, it certaiuly must not help sick cowa and hogs. If the South tet havo yellow fover’ rathor than givo up its doctrino of State Rights, thon lot it have pleuro-pnoumonia also, and gil tho” other discases In tho category. If tho Goy- ernmont cannot bo permitted to help mon and women, it is an insult to nak it to help cows und hoge. THE DEMOCRATS IN TROUDLE.‘ Tho Domocrats in Washington aroin “n heap o' trouble," ag any one of tho Southorn Brigadlors would probably doseribo tho sit. uation, Thoy ara just boginning to rénlize that they havo astumed ao contract which they will not bo ablo to fulfill, aud mean- whilo thoy aro badgorod by a complication of embarrassmonts to which tho oxtra sossion has given riso, Every intellgont man among them probably wishes from the bottom of hig henrt that the last Congress had voted all tho necessary nppropriations boforo adjourning, and that such 0 thing atan extrascasion woro not pormitted by the Constitution, ‘To bogin with, tho Domocrats havo not on. joyed thoir own awect way to tho extent which they nutielpsted. Counting upon o majority in both Houses of tho prosout Con. Gress, thoy supposed that tho work Leforo them could bo quickly disposed of, und that bulldozing in Washington would be sa ance ccsaful aa bulldozing in Louisiana, Missiasjp. pl, end Bouth Corolinn bad boon, In this coufident cutimnto of strongth, they loft out of vonsideration the ro. sources of an nblo minority, representing the conservative intorcaty of tho country and skilled in tho art of politics, ‘Thoy found obutactos in the way nt uvery stop they took, At tho very oponiny of Congress thoy hnd to uso tho fifo and dria vigorously to mustor up @ majority of one for the clootion of Speaker, ‘Thon thoy discovered that thoy wera poworloss to shut off debate on thor proposed political legislation, aud that, in tho course of that dobate, thoy wero losing ground aud strength. Alter three wooks of sexalon, thoy havo mado no headway in tho, Principal purposo that prompted tho oxtra’ sossion, and tho prospect now is that they will not be abla to adjourn boforo the middlo of Juno or first of July, anily then only after confessing failure by voting appropriations toithout tho political amendments which they designed to make a condition sine qua non, ‘Tho troublos of tho Democracy are sori. ously increaved by tho action of the caucus in voting to open tho doors to mlucellancous legislation, ‘Thon hogan a scramble for committee places and a rush for advantago by the ropresontatives of spacial schemes which brod dissension in thoir own ranks, ‘Thora was at onco a broach ovor the curronoy question and over Robel clatins, ‘Tho Groon- backers provailed to tho oxtont of recon. structing tho ruloa to suit thelr purposo, and s capturing the Banking ond Curronoy Com mittcos; but this partint succoss only excited increasod rosentmont among tho hard-money Democrats, who improved thoir firat oppor- tuntty for dofying the enous, and voted with tho Republicans to adjourn over Monday as ®& means for shutting out Groonback schemes, Thot tho hard-monoy Demoornta wore not successful in thoir first defiance of caucus dictation was owing to tho entpablo absence of n large numbor of Republicans; but tho datermination of the formor to take an indo. Pendent position is n sufficiont notice that tho cauous will not bo able to on- force ita mandates if it shall dictate on adjournmont without voting supplies. If thoro aro enough conservative mon among the Domocrats {o rofase submission to the caucus whero a disturbance of tho enrronoy ig throatened, it can scarcely bo doubted that there will be cnough of tho samo kind to resist ond doféat any caucus attempt to throaten tho very existence of Govornmont by withholding its means of subsistence, The Domocrats will also hayo to contend against anofier rorlous olemont of diacord iu the matter of war-clnims, ‘Tho admission of miscollancous logielation will furnish the ox-Confedorates swith an opportunity for urging their “claims” which they will not have tho golf-restrnint to forego, But Gon, Braga, the eonrngeous Wisconsin Domocrnt who startled tho Qonfodorntes in the Inst Congress by pronounciug against their schomes for plundering tho Public Tronsury to raward rébollion, hha boon appointed Chairman of tho War-Clhima Committee, and accepts the chargo to mean that he must act as Cerberus to guard the approaches on the Tronsury from the Southern districts. Ho oponed tho ball on Saturday, ponding the con- aidoration of tho Legislative Appropriation bill, by moving to strike out tho clauso pro. viding for the Southern-Claims Commission, ‘He annonnced distinctly that his objoct was to abolish thnt, Commismon, Whon the matter comes up for discussion this week tho sparks will fly, and thoro will bo moro tronblo than ever in the Democratic camp. Meanwhile tho ghost of State Sovorcignty, in stalking through tho halls of Congrens, is plaguing tho Democrata os much os it in tor. nfying the country. Tho politicians who still believe in the pornicious doctrino aro not nblo to reconcile it with the now order of things, nor to mako it ngreo with somo of their own pet schomes, ‘This doctrino, it will bo romombered, was usod to defoat tho proposition for a national quarantine aya tem to protect tho Southofn cities from tho ravages of yollow fevor; but it is to bo Inid aside, ot the suggestion of ona of ita moat vigorous advocates, in order to put upon tho’ General Government the duty of eradicat- ing tho pluero-pnoumonia epizootic from among tho cattio of ‘Olo Virginny.” ‘Tho latter tnsk involves on appropriation of $250,000, and honce the Southrona aro willing to sacrifice their principle for this occasion only,—after which they will bo roady to reassort it moro yehemontly than over as arcnson why the General Govern- ment should not be pormitted to protect its own olections against the violonce of South- ern bulldozers and tho frauds of Southern politicians wnder protection of their local Governments, ‘ » ‘Tho inconsistoncies and ombirrassments wo have pointed out aro sufficient to warrant tho assertion wo made at the boginning, viz.:, that tho Democrats oro “in n heap o° tronblo.” ‘This tronblo will inorcaso rather than diminish with the progress of the sos- sion, and, whon adjournment shall finally bo forced by the unondurable Washington tem- Pperaturo of the dog-days, the presont Con- ssress will havo tha poor sntisfaction of hay- ing convinced tha: country of the inenpncity of tho Demoerntic party for public affairs. , —_—_—_——— THE EGYPTIAN INFAMY, Tho most afflictod people on tho faco of the globo aro tho Egyptians, Thoy havo throa rulors,—tho English, the Fronob, and tho Ihedive,—and, botwoon tho throo, the governmont js probably tho worst in tho world. Theso two results havo happonod from no rosponsibility of tho people thom. selves, 'Thoy aro guiltloss in the mattor of the condition of Egypt, ong havo had no moro to do with it than the Zulus; ond yot they oro mado tho victims of a taxation, tyranny, and torture that scom shocking whon ono remombers tho reiterated boast of English devotion to justice and lovo of fair play. Tho Khedive of Egypt acoma to havo combined in his person to an ominent dogros the threo charactoristica of tho spondthrift, the debauchee, and the tyrant, and was ennbled to not tho threo roles without dan- gor, 08 ho waa tho rulor of the most igno- rant, squalid, and bolpless people on earth, By his monstrous oxcesses, his porsonal greod, ond bis oriminal misrule, sho soon plunged not only himsolf, but the whole country; though ono of the most fortilo in tho world, into hopeless bankraptey. To eave thom- solves, his two principal creditora, England and France, took upon thomselves tho ad- ministration of his revonucs, and demanded that ho should appoint a rocoiver soooptable tothem. Ho soloctedyNupan Pasua, 9 for- eigner, mado him a Minister in hls Cabinot, and turned ovor to him his porsonal property and the rovenues of the Govornmont. Nupan Pasna bad Yeon in authority bat o short time wlon tho Khedive quarroled with him and dismissed him, nnd fmmedintoly mado the extraordinary proposition that he would bo hia own receiver. Tho two oreditota squolched thla proposition instauter, oud sent their own recoivors, who wero reluot- sntly accepted by him, and imade Miuletora {u his Cabinet under the pressure of tho fol- lowing joint Note: “The Governmonts of Frauce and England ac- cept the expression of the uetermination of the Khedlve to conform to thelr decisions, ani take note thereof, It is understood that the Khedlya is not, under any clrewmatances, to sasiet ot tho deliberations of the Council, Princo Trwri Yauma ta to be appointed Preuldent of tho Council; the two European members ef the Council are to havo the right of conjolntly {toposing an absolute eto vn all measures of Which they may diaap.

Lefora its inauguration they wero subjected.to the floooing of one Power; now, of throo; and, under the prossure of thoir combined meroi- less exactions, their resources havo been exhausted and famine is sweeping thom off by thousands, Adged to the cruel Industry of tho tax-gatherors, the Nilo bas risen to Qn wnprocedonted hight, rpronding utter Tuln throughout tho valley; but still the tax- gatherers, urged on by England and Franco, continuo their romorgoloss work among tho starving and dying, and add tho horrors of tho Insh ¢o oxtort from the wrotchod folla- hoon thoir misorable pittance, which is nac- easnry to thom to meot the demands of actual oxiatonce, Such oruel taxntion was nover known befors, Tho rato por hond is $10, with tho rontnl paid to tho landlords ndded on, and, of this, eight-tonths goos out of tho country,—sovon-tenths to tho bondholdors andnanother touth to the Sultan of Turkoy, to the British Govornmont on necount of tho Snoz Canal, and to the two receivers, who représont the Fronch and English Govern- ments, Of this dobt, the Egyptian peoplo nover cantracted a cont, Thoy ara no more rosponsible for if than tho poopla of En- gland, They havo nover recoivad any benefit from it. It is tho logacy of n despotic rulor who has spent the money for his own prof- Ngato purposos; and now those poor victima, iu the midst of starvation, who had endurod the miscrios of Turkish misrule, who hid snffored from tho viecs of the Khedityo's rulo, and mannged to eurvivo it, ara ro@uced to absolute rin nnd denth by tho power of tho great Governments of England and Franco, which fa brought into operation to Aqueeze out of the living and dying tho Inst cout of a dobt for which thoy woro nevor responsible. It is no wonder that oven the London Saturday Review, which is friendly to tho English Miuistry, declares that tho prosont regimo is tho worst of all.tho bad Oriontal Governments, and that the Spectator indignantly exclaims: * Slaughtering Zulua, shooting Afghans, crushing South Bul. gorinns, expelling Armoniang, hava, not wo English enough to answer for without strip. ping Egyptians of tho Inst means of lifo ? If wo will not govern thom, or let Franco govern thom, or allow the Khedive to govern tham, ot lonst lot us suffer then to lve.” BUSPIOI LEGISL, My, Whon tho new Constitulion was adopted, the intention was that thoroafter all special legistation wonld cehso; thnt the Goneral Assembly haying goneral” Inws only to enact, the seasions would bo short. It was nover expected that outsido the approprintions the number of bills would aver excocd twenty, and it was supposed that these would ba dis- posod of briefly, Tho cutting off of spocial legislation by the Constitution was oxpected to remove all possibilities of corruption, both on tho part of members and on tho part of thoso sooking apocial priviloges, It was sup- posed that the special oath of mombers against bribery, and tho prohibition of special legislation, would put an ond to tho sdnudats and abnsos which had disgraced legislative Dodies, Notwithstanding all these safeguards and protections provided by the Constituticn, the numbor of bills proposed at thia sosston of tho Legislature ronches nearly 1,500, A metaber disposod to bo corrupt has only to introduce a bill threatening to destroy the business of some trado or corporation, and, sending a copy of: the bill to the porsons throatoned, await negotiations for the sup. pression of the bill by'tho author. So well was this kind of Icgislntion understood that, whor'billa were introduced in the Sonate and House to fixand rogulate tho prico of gas to be charged by tho gas companies in Chicago, tha prosumption that they wore a notice to the. companies. to nogotinte was extended, it sooms unwarrantably, to a supposition that the gay companics had treated, and that, placing $5,000 where it world do tho most good, tha gas companies had obtaincd an assuranco that no hostile legislation would bo permitted, Nobody now belioves that tho gas com- panies did anything of tho kind, Mr, Granozn’s vindication sottles that question, but the prosumption rising from the intro- duction of such bills, particularly whon tho bills are novor prosecnted to a presage, is so strong that in this one onse it camo‘noar putting Mr Gnanorn under o cloud, and hns sont one man to fail for simply henring tha suspicion. Mombors cannot be too circum- spect in tho langungo they usa for titles to their bills, lost thoy give to strangers the im. pression that tho introduotionof tho bills aro simply notices to those interosted to “ como down "—to Springfold. Mr, Gnanozn bos himoelf testified to his outhorship of several bills, to which wo havo added several others not montioncd by,him, Hore aro the titles or purport of some of thom: “* Tonge bill 127, for on act to provent extortion, and regulate the manufacture and sate of !llam!- natlog gas, and establish reasonable rates therofor.” ‘BAL 25%, for on-act, to punish extortiona by corporations controlling and opesating sleoping- ” Nt House bill 263, for an act to amend Bee. 2 of ‘On oct roloting to life-insarance,"* ** House bill 264, for an act requiring telegraph companies to keep and maintain offices for tho recelving and forwarding of mensages by talegraph,” ‘tA bill abolishing the $6,000 Mmitation for damagea for persons killcl on raltroads, * +A Dill for the protection of railroad employcs,"* “A dill toamend the Warchouse act, by rega- lating the rates of storage. “A Dill regulating the keoplog of accounts by banks doing buainesa in this State, atc." Theso wero a portion of Mr. Gnanazn’s work, showing how careless Le was in the titles to some of his bills, Ho, however, was not alone in this matter, Herearesomoothor Dills introduced in thp Legislature: Hy Mr. Binbyx—'*A bill rotating to dopogita to ‘be nado by foreign Insurauce compentes, Hy Mr, Day—'' A dill to amend the law govorn- ing (neurance companica doing business tn Ii{i- “ “iy Mr, Fuzw—'* Several bills on the subject of insurance," Hy Mz, Sextox—'' A bill for the rogulation of pawnbrokers."* By Mr. Etrrotr*A bill to regulate chargos in the Block-Yarda,"” ss By Mr, Komsaon, of Fulton—'"A bill to regue late and fix the rates of passenger fares and rater of trotght per car-load upon railroads in the State of Minols," Ty Mr. Dav—"" A bill relating to the Hating and aasexament of the capital stock of railroad cor- poratione."” By Mr, Mennirr—** A bli providing for the val- nation of the capital stock of rallroad corpora- Hons, on the baels of net annual recvipts,* By Mr, Menutr—"*A bl todefue and limit what Iifo-dnsuranco compantes nay carry on bust- nose in this State," e Ly Mr. Carton—**A bill for the better protec. ton of the citizens of the State in their dealings with ineurance companlca.” By My, Souruwoutu—''A bill to regulate the forteltarea of policios of lifo-insurance,"”” ity Senator Grouam Wurtx—*' A bijt to regulate * charges on palace and sleeping care," Dy Mr, Itrppuy—*'A bil to regulate the man- agoment of stock-yards."
