Carrington, ar- guing in favor of the demurrer to the indict- Tents the case of Conover, indicted tor per- jury. te claimed that there were three depar ments of the Government—the executive, legis- Intive, avd judicial—and proceeded to quote Story on the Constitution to show that it was the imtention of the founders of the Govern- ment that (bese departments should be kept separate. He contended tt at che Congress onal committee bad no right to make this inquiry, and that they bad usurped the powers ot the Judiciary. and their investigation of the sub- ject was an impatation that the executive and judiciary were derelict in their duty. The very resolution reported by this committee shows that the Inquiry was not necessary. Whether the parties were guilty or not, wouid not warrant any legisiation. The courts were open to try the persons alluded to, and it was in the power of this court to try them. The highest erimes of which they could be convicted would be murder or treason, and it was in the power of the court to try these. He did not deny that the Congress of the United States bad the power to investigate the conduct of any officer. but did deny that they had the power to make a judicial investigation. The courts were not the creature of the legislative branch, but of the Constitution. Mr. G. read from Ethott’s Debates, vol. 5, page 345, what Was said by Madison as tothe danger of the legisiative usurping the power of the other branches of the Government. He argued the Gepositions would not support the charge ot perjury, ard read from Archibald, vol. 2, page 965; Russell on Crimes, vol. 2, page 441. and said where depositions were not irregularly taken, and not admissible as evidence, they would not support the charge of perjary. The ac- cu had contradicted a part only of Hoare’s testimony, and he was so understood by the comm and the indietment shonld state What part was contradicted and what was not. Judge Fisher took the papers, and will prob- ably cive his decision in the early part of the week — i Centex MARKET To-vay.—Beef, best cuts, per Ib., next, 2vc.; Salt Beef, l5azve.; Dried Beet, c.
