The Star called attention weeks ago to the fact that the Massachu setts Democracy were not satisfied with the Civil Service law as execu ted jn hat State. ' It is now asserted that the Mugwumps will not support the Democratic ticket. Massachu setts has never .gone for the Democ racy ir a Presidential election since the Radical party got on top. So it is not Ipf any importance nationally if GovL Ames should be reelected, as he no oloubt will be1. His only quali i fication for office is a fortune of many millions and he is able to give largely to the campaign corruption fund. Mugwumps of the j highly scented and "oulohawed" type will feel good in supporting snob, a bean tif ul "reform" candidate as Ames. But we refer to the Massachusetts canvass for another purpose. The Democrats are not mnoh in love with the system that keeps so many Re publicans in office under Democratic supremacy. That is to say, there are too many of "the fire-tried Radicals" in Government offices to please the Democrats who have been out in the cold for a quarter of a century. Mr. j James McGeough made a speech at a ratification meeting in Boston a week or so ago. He re viewed at length the criticism of Re publicans and Mugwumps as to the aotion of the party in appointing a Committee to inquire into the opera tions of the Civil Serrice law in that State. We quote: "There is nothing, perhaps, about this campaign like the state of mind our Re publican friends are in over the appoint ment of this committee and the offices. 'The wicked demons,' they say, 'have actu v ally appointed a committee to ascertain the number of Republicans in the Federal ser vice in; Massachusetts, a proceeding un heard of . It can be only for;the purpose of turning Republicans out and putting Democrats in. Turn all Republicans out of the civil service 1 Horrible' In a fit of patriotic despair they aak. 'What on earth will become of the country?" (Laughter.) llejsays that when the Democracy set on foot investigation to see how , the Federal offices are filled the cry is set; up that they are "clamoring for the offices." We quote: . "Trie retention of old party-paid, offen sive Republicans in the service men no toriously out of sympathy with the Admin istrationis emphatically denounced, and the fry goes forth that the Democratic arty i9 opposed to 'civil-service reform.' onsease: i . . - i sense The Massachusetts Demooraoy, he Bays, favor "an honest Civil Service reform" and believe that publio offices are public trusts. So do all Demo crats;, But there are millions who also believe that a Democrat. is just as honest, as capable, as trustworthy as a Republican. The Republicans for twenty-five years had charge and their 115,000 office-holders ran the political meetings of all the States. jnow tee democracy are in power and they howl for civil service. But let us give one more extract from Mr. McGeough. He continued: " ;To the victors belong the spoils V No, but to the. victors belong the responsibili ties for good government, and it won't do to trust the entire detail of administration in the hands of the enemy. That's what we say. Let the doors of the civil service stand open to citizens alike. "Are we after the offices ? With 83 per cent, still in the hands of Republicans would it be considered strange if. under a Democratic administration, we had a few more? After the offices? Why, there are but 4,000 or 5,000 all told in Massachusetts a large number, true, but a mere handful to our party, now numbering 150,000, in creasing from year to year. After the offices ? Nonsense) From the foundation of the Commonwealth to the present day in State affairs, as for a quarter of a century in the Federal service, the Democratic party of Massachusetts has lived not only without the offices, but in spite of them, and in spite of them it will continue to sur vive." TUB REPUBLICAN FLAN. "Pig iron'! Kelley at least is no dodger or prevaricator whoever else of his State may be. He is reported in the Philadelphia Press as being1 explicit in his views of the Speaker ship and the I true plan for the Re publicans, and their Randall assis tants to pursue. They may be stated thus:" 'j v I 1. Carlisle will be nominated for; the Speakership. 2. lie will be defeated, of course; by the aid of Randall. 3. Republican opposition to repeal of tobacco tax except as a separate measure. 1 j 4. Republican opposition to any plan or bargain or I compromise that looks to a reduction of the Tariff, His words are : "If the proposition be connected with one to reduce customs duties in tha bona of thereby curtailing the amount of cur rent revenue, tne measure will be resisted by the Republicans." I 1 mm mm .1 mat is plain enough,, and true Democrats and all Administration Kef ormers will govern themselves ,1' 1 ' tk . rouuruiBgiy, out mis does not ext liaust his plans. He is so bent on protecting uis pet War Tariff that he is willing to resort to all sorts of dilatory measures and parliamentary ; dodges to prevent any legislation as i to the monstrous High Tariff of 46 I per cent, average. He favors the .introduction by all enemies of reduc tion of all sorts of amendments end Flu tire minutes speeches on each by all 1 who choose to engage in the work of delay. This is the 8ize of the states- mansbip of Kelley and his crowd, Phis is the statesman like scheme of the defenders and henchmen of mo I nopolists and plutocrats. This plan has been aptly referred to as "satanio ingenuity. it iooks w u u. stupid blundering and blindness. ma. TUCKER'S ITsBTLMfl ARGU MENT. Oar readers know in what estimate the Star holds Mr. Tucker, of Vir ginia. It is quits reoently that we had pccaBion to refer to his very masterly' address-before Tale Law School. In truth we have many times pointed to his able defence of the j Constitution and his masterly maintenance of sound JJemooratio interpretation when applied to the Constitution. After following, him for veers in his speeches in the Con gress and his utterances on other occasions with so much of interest, approbation and satisfaction it is a great shock to see his attitude in behalf of the Anarohists. ' Mr. Tuoker is a noble j gentleman and a very distinguished constitutional lawyer. It would be unpardonable to suggest that mere sordid oonsid- erations bad warped nis judgment or whipped him off npon a side track. How to account for ljis very extraordinary opinion in Anarohio oases ia what the puules us. How a pronounced rigid constructionist of the letter and spirit of the Constitution could take the Btand he has taken in the: cases referred to is beyond us.' We would have never supposed that John Ran dolph Tucker, of Virginia, State Rights defender and the constant friend of rigid construction, would be found among those who preached a dootrine that is centralization in essence, and that would be absolutely ruinous to the State courts and to the individual. i ' - I i What is hi new view of stitution that cilia forth the Con 'such ex pressions of regret and Borrow, for we are sorrowful. ! Mr. Tucker takes the position that the jury laws of the State of Illinois are in conflict with the Fourteenth amendment to the Constitution. This amendment pro vides as follows: "Ho Stale .hall make or enforce any law which sbridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall an? State deprive any person of life, liberty or property without due process of law;, nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." Mr. Tucker takes new ground, that the Supreme Court has jurisdic tion in State cases. He Bays: 'l am giad to believe that the Constitu tion of the United States has made this court of justice a refuge for any man who finds oppression under local decisions of any commonwealth ia the Union. It is a city of refuge from the avenger of blood, and a muo who comes here and takes hold of the boms of this altar of justice cannot be refu'ei! o hearing."- ! Thin i- appalling. If its intent and meaning are taken in, it is enough to alarm the good citizen and send a thrill of dissatisfaction and regret through the heart of every sound believer ia and advocate of borne rule - of old fashioned State Rights reserved rights doctrine. When Ran. Fucker deserts the old citadel and goes over to the enemy, who ic to be trusted in interpreting and de fpnhnLr the rVmatitnLinn '? Ala ' alas ! His argument is a surprise all round. Because there may be de iects in me lury laws or a state a citizen guilty of violating the peace and laws of a sovereign Common wealth can- flee for refuge to the Su pre me Court of the United States and find shelter and protection as he grasps the horns of that judicial al tar. He even went so far as the fol lowing: It had been maintained, he said, that thes first ten amendments to the constitu tion were limitations of Federal power on ly, inn ;q a:s opinion, tney bad also tbe chirsrtcr of a bill of rights they showed bat seme of the rizhts of the United Btatr.s were, acd those rights, privileges ana unniutiuies were carried lor ward and coo tinned t? the Fourteenth amendment. There is but one Demoorat on the Supreme Bench, Justice Field. He was so shocked at the broad, decided Centralizing ground assumed by the able Virginian, that the Californian stopped him with the question: "Then you would brine all Questions in this court. I cannot conceive of any ques tion which cannot be brought here if the ourteentn amendment makes tbe 'Drivi leges and Immunities to which it tefers include aM those of the first ten amend ments., : air. i ucKer went to tbe verge of .t m 1 ... m latitudicarianism when he declared that every citizen had a right to come before the Supreme Court for justice, whenever his rights had been abridged or disregarded by what? lie aotoally eo far forgot himself in his new zeal for centralization and broad gauge construction of the Constitution as to designate the State Supreme Court and Superior Courts and all other Judioial Courts as mere "municipal cenrts." To all friends of ConsMiutional Govern m n! ; t. all believer in the true interpretation of the 8acrel instrument as held by Madison," Jefferson, Calhoun, Jeffer son Davis, and indeed by the Supreme Court of the United States before and since the war, this new assump tion of Mr. Tucker this new theory of the State Courts being only "rau nioipar'in their jurisdiction, and that all men can flee for ref age to the Su preme Court of the Nation, .will be as painful and as surprising. When the boldest, strongest, most earnest of Constitutional defenders and strict constructionists begins with his pick to dig under the very foundations of States, io what uninspired brain can .we rely, in whom can we trust? Th - Washington Post, the Richmond wntg, tne uionmona Jjapatcn ana other newspapers are promptly la mg Mr. Tucker to task and are com menting upon his summersault in plainest termi. The Washington Post nays: "This is the climax Genu a'izat ion can go no further A State is but a province, State courts are merely j 'municipal' courts, and lb. Supreme Court of the United States is a court of competent i appellate jurisdic tion as to the finding of a tribunal erected to pass upon crimes committed against the peace and quiet of thej people of a sove reign Commonwealth! I And thiB extraor dinary doctrine, which, if sustained, will form a precedent for all time to come, is held by a man who stands in the foremost rank of constitutional I lawyers, and has been recognized as among the ablest de fenders of the time-honored precept that the Federal power is power delegated by the States. and that 'powers not delegated to the United States by the onstitutiou are reserved to the States' " j Mr. Tucker puts himself In an ugly attitude to represent Virginia in her caenow pending before the Supreme Court of the Union. If he stands by his extreme centralizing views when he comes to argue the case for his! native State h( will not only leave Virginia in jail hero he finds her, but he will lave her bound in manacles and uhaiiied to the floor. gladly caught and quoted by all the enemies of a Con stitutional Government, and by all who believe that the war destroyed the rights of States while creating a great, all powerful, dominating, ab . , I sorbing Nation. We are-, now . I that Mr. Tucker Was not selected, for the Supreme Court Bench. He has shown that he is I not always a safe interpreter of organic law, and as a friend of local self-government the most precious and inalienable of muniments he cannot be always re lied upon. But "Truth crushed to earth shall rise again : The eternal years of Qod are hets " V. S. District ConrtJ The U. S.

A Rtcrrv War at Wrlgktavllle A raid was made Tuesday evening last by two of Sheriff Manning's depu ties on Wm.

Tbe' naval Stores Market The naval stores market has been on a Doom, especially in savanna d, where there has been a steady ad vance lor a weeK past in prices oi spirits turpentine and rosin. The ad vance is looked upon as a legitimate one, and other markets have respond ed.! Iu fact, Wilmington has gone be yond her Southern sisters, paying one-quarter of a cent more per gallon for spirits than either Savannah or Charleston. The cause for the advance in prices of spirits turpentine is said to be that the stock in London this year, com pared with last, is 11,960 casks short, and the price at the present time is 9dJ lower per 100 weight, while the stock is smaller than has been known for several years, showing that not withstanding the increased produc tion the product has gone rapidly into consumption. In rosins there has also been an increase in value. The advance s believed by some ope rators to be speculative, while others say that it is warranted by the move ment and stocks on hand. ol. U'addell'e Oration. The Richmpnd Dispatch in its re: port of the annual gathering of the Association of Veterans of the Army of Northern Virginia, gives a brief account of the oration delivered by Col. A. M. Waddell on the occasion: Colonel Waddell was warmly re ceived by the association and the crowd, and was loudly applauded. With graceful and eloquent allu sion to the memories of the occasion and some very fine satire on the changes in the opinions held by cer tain so-called statesmen of the pres ent, Colonel Waddell quoted from Colonel Charles Marshall's speech be fore this association some years ago as to the very great difficulty of giv ing accurately historic facts. Anions: otner illustrations or tnis Colonel Waddell cited the mistakes that had been made in the acounts of Pettigrew's division at Gettysburg. He eloquently insisted, amid tne loud applause of the audience, that while he would not detract from the honor that instlv beloners to Pickett's di vision, yet it was due to Pettigrew's division or JNortn uaroiinians and Archer's Tennessee brigade to say that on that last day at Gettysburg they went as far and stayed as long as any otner troops, and are entuiea to equal honor with Pickett's men. He appropriately introduced as nis theme "The Last Year of the War in North Carolina." He gave a very vivid account of the capture of Ply mouth, which seemed to be or great interest to the audience. He then proceeded to an account of the bom bardment and final capture of Fort Fisher. He also gave a very amusing account of Butler's powder-ship and its explosion, and told an anecaoce given him by Admiral Porter, which brought down the house in rapturous applause. His description of the final assault and capture of IFort Fisher and the srallant derence oi tne neroic garrison was very fine. . . Colonel Waddell eniivenea nis speech with keen wit, humor, and well-told anecdotes, wnicn dtoukui down the house in applause, The whole speech was an admirable one. Thv feauut Crop. Reports from southeastern Virginia and the eastern part of this State are to the effect that the peanut crop is badly damaged by the continued wet weather. , A gentleman writing from Suffolk, Va., says that the crop in many instances will be almost a total loss, as the nuts were in the ground whan the wet soell came and have since rotted, so tnat digging win oe impossible.

Washimgton, Oct Si. The failure of the U. 8; Supreme Court to render a de cision to day in the Anarchist cases and the announcement of the Chief Justice that the Court would not be ready to make public such decision until Wednesday or Thursday, are thought to indicate nolhiDg more than that the Court's judgment will be set foith in a more or less elaborate opinion, and that the Justice to whom preparation of that opinion has been -' signed is not yet ready with it. Argument in tbe cases was not concluded until Fri day afternoon ; the Justices could not meet for consultation until Saturday, and even wereihty in full agreement as to all the question raised, there would hardly be time between Saturday afternoon and Mon day morning for preparation of a careful opioioo acd its discussion in conference. It is the general, and in fact the almost universal belief of lawyers who practice at tbe 3ucretue Court ;bar. that ibe petition for a writ of error will be denied; but. ibis belief is biised only upon their own views of constitutional law, and the impression mail" upon their' minds by the arguments Tbe Justices of the Court will not-, of c jutit'. ilow an I intimation to escape them a to their views until the decision has bi'tn formally announced from the Bench THE ANARCHISTS.

Application for .tlovratice of a writ of error to the Supreme Tjourt of tbe State of Illinois Mr. Chief Justice Wtute delivered tbe opinion of tbe Court Whereas, in this case, application 18 made to us.cn the suggestion of one of our number, to whom a similar application had U-cn previously addressed, for allowance! oi a writ of error to the highest Court of the State, under etction 709 of tbe Revised Statutes, it is our duty to ascertain not oil; whether any questiou reviewable here was made and decided in iue proper court below, hut whether ;it w of a character to justify us in 'mngiag the judgment hrc i or ro-fcxmmcatiou : la our opinion the wru ougnt not to tw allowed cy tte L'ouit, if it apotsrs from the fact of record that the d-ciion of the Federal -.ia which. u cotupinioel of was so plainly right as not to require argument, ami especially if it is ia accordaccs with our own well consider ed judgment in similar cases. When . under section nve of our rule sis; n moiiou to affirm is united with a motion la riiboms for -want of jurisdiction, the practice has been- to grant the motion to affirm, wbea ihe question on which our jurisdiction depends was so manifestly de cideJ ritcht, that the case ought not to be Le:d for further argument. The propriety of udipling a similar rule upon motions in open court for allowance ot the writ is ap pirent, for cert inly we would not be jus utiitl as Court in Sending out a writ to oiios; up for review tbe judgment of the inchest J .lift of a State, when it ia aorta rent on tbe fttce of the record that it would be iiur duty to grant a motion to affirm soon as it was' made in proper form. In tbe present esse we have had the benefit of argument in support of the application. and wbiie counsel have not deemed it their duty to go fully into the merits or the qaestions involved, i hey have shown ns distinctly what the decisions were of which they com plain, and how the question arose. In this way we are a ole to determine as a Court in session, whether the errors alleged are tuch a to justify us in bringing the ca here for review. We proceed then to consider what the questions are on which if it exists at all our jurisdiction depends. Particular provisions of the CocEiituUon ot the united States on which counsel rely,! are found in Articles four, five, six and fourteen of the amend ments these amendments are here quo ted 1 That the first ten articles of tbe amendments were j not intended to limit powers of State Governments in respect to iheir ow.n citizens, out to operate on tbe National Government alone, was decided ino!t!iao half a I century ago. and that the decision has been steadily adhered to since f ' After citing a long list of precedent de cUioos. the Court proceeds to say: It was contended, however, in the argument that though originally the nrst ten amendments were anonted as limitations on Federal pow er.yet in so far as they secure and recognize fundamental rights common law rights of man, they mase them privileges and lm muniues of men as citizens of the United States and cannot now be abridged by the Slate under tbe fourteenth amendment. In other words, while the ten amendments, as umitatiocs on power, only apply to tbe Federal Government and not to the State, yet in so far as they declare or recornizs the rights of persons, these rights are theirs as citizens of the united States, and tbe fourteenth amendment.as such, rights, lim its State power as the teu amendments bad limited Federal power . It is also contend ed r bit the provision of the fourteenth acirndaieot, which declares that no State ball dfr rive "oy person of life, liberty or prontrjy wiiuoqi uue process or law, lm plis ihat every person charged with crime in a State shall be J entitled to trial by an impnriWI j'iry. and shall not be compelled to t-e' if y against himself. Objections are in brief 1 That the statutes of the State a9 e estrued by the Court deprived peti tioners of trial by an impartial jury; and ( mat spies was compelled to give evi detict against himself. Before considering whether the Constitution ot tbe United States has tbe effect which is claimed, it is proper to i nquire whether the Federal ques tioos relied on in fact arise on the face of this record. One statute to which objec tion is maae, was approved oiarcn 18, 187, ana nas Deen in force since July of that year. The complaint is that the tnal Court, acting i under this statute and in accordance with, its reauirements. oom pelled the petitioners against their will to submit to trial by a jury that was not iin partial, and this deprived them of one of the fundamental rights which they had as citizens of the United States under the Na tional Constitution, and if the sentence ot the Court is earned into execution, they will be : deprived of their lives "without due process or law." . t ;i la Hopt vs. Utah. 120 U. S. 438, it was oectaea oy una i uonrt tnat when '-Oh!. lenge by defendant in a criminal action tn a juror for bias, actual or implied, la disal lowed, ana tne juror w ineraupon peremp.- turuy uiaiieuitnu uy me ueienaant and ex cusea, ana ; an i impartial and . competent juror is obtained in his place, no injury ia uuuu lUMcuuaut, t ii, uuui uiu jury u com pleted, be has other peremptory challenges wawn oe van use. .a(i so in Hayes vs. Missouri," 120 ,U. 8 .71. it was said, "The ru-t-'ti lo cballeuge.w ihe nghl o reject, noi lo Bt jecta juror. If from those who re main n impartial lory i viiiirn ivv cM-tixuiiooal right of, the accused U main tained " Of the 1 correctness of these ruliues we eDtertain o doubt We are therefore confined in this case, to the rul ings on challenges to jurors who actually sat vhe trial.- Of these there were tmt two-j-Theodore Denker, the third , juror, who was sworn, and U. T. aanlora. u last who was called and sworn after all the peremptory challenges of the defendants nau iieeu cxuauBicu. -a. iue iuo Court coostrued the statute to mean that "although a juror called as juryman may hav formed an opinion based npon rum-.r or upon newspaper statements, but has ex pressed no opinion as to the truth of the newspaper statement, he is still qualified as a juror if He slates tnat ue can fairly ana impartially render a verdict thereon in ac cordance with the law and evidence, and the Coutt shall be satisfied of the truth of such statement. It is not a test question whether a juror will have an opinion which he has formed from newspapers changed by evidence, but whether bjs verdict will be based only upon the account which may here be given 1 by witnesses ucder oa'h." interpreted in this way. the statute is not materially different from that ot the territory of Utah, which we bad under consideration in Hopt vs. Utah, and W wuich we then gave effect, as that was a territorial statute passed by the Territorial legislature for the government of the Ter ritory, over which the United States bad exclusive jurisdiction. It came directly within the operation of article six of the ttmendments which guaranteed to Hopt trial! by an impartial jury. No one at that time suggested doubt of the constitution ality of the statute, and it was regarded both in the Territorial Courts and here, as furnishing a proper rule to be observed by the, Territorial Court in empaneling an im partial jury in a criminal case. A similar statute was enacted in New York, May 3. 1872; in Michigan, April 18, 1878; and also in Nebraska, ia 1885. The constitution ality of tbe statute of New York was sus tained by the Court of Appeals of that Stale in Stokes vs. the People, decided juuu 10. 1873, and it has been acted upon ypLout objection ever since. So far as we have been able lo discover, no doubt has ever been entertained in Michigan or Nebraska of the constitutionality ,of the statutes of these States respectively but they have always been treated by their Supreme Courts as valid, both under the constitution of the United States and under that of tbe State. Indeed, the rule of the statute of Illinois, as it was construed by the trial Court, is not materially different from that. which has been adopted by the Courts in many of the States without leg islative action . Without pursuing ihia eubiect further. it is sufficient to say that we agree entirely with the Supreme Court of Illinois in tbe opinion that tbe 'statu'c on its face as con etrued by the trial court is, not repugnant to Section 0. of Article 2 of the Constitu tion of that State, which guarantees to the accused party in every criminal prosecu tion, speedy trial by an impartial jury of the county or district in which the offence is alleged to have been committed, as this is substantially the provision of the Con stitution of the United States on which the petitioners now rely. It follows that even f their position as to tbe operation and ef fect of that' Constitution is correct, the statute is not open to tbe objection which is made against it. We proceed then to consideration of the grounds of challenge to jurors Denker and Sanford, to see if in tbe actual administration of tbe rule of the statute by the Court, the righta of defen dants under the Constitution of the United States were in any way impaired? 1 he Court then gives extracts from the examicatio-j of Denker by the defence, and says that he was challenged for causa by defendants, but before any decision was nibd-i ihtieon be was questioned by the Court acd the Court's examination i3 ap pended "The Court," it contiuues, "there upon overruled the challenge; but before tlit- juror was accepted and sworn be was farther examined by counsel for defen dants '' I This examination is also re printed from, the records.! The Court alien says that examination of the juror by counsel for defendants closed, and he was examined by the attorney for the State and citations are given from questions and answers in this examination. The opinion continues: At the close of the examination neither party challenged the juror peremptorily and he was accepted aed sworn. When tbia occurred, it is not denied defendants were still entitled to 143 peremptory challenges, or about that num ber. When juror Sanford was called, he Was first examined by the counsel for the defendants. The. examination is here quoted. At the close of this examination on tbe part of defendants the juror was challenged on their behalf for cause, and the attorney for the State, after it was ar certalned that all peremptory challenges of defendants bad been exhausted took up the examination of the juror.. Result of this examination is given as is the ruling of the Court denying the challenge to overrule for cause, and stating that as peremptory chal lenges or tne aeience are exhausted. San fbrd is a iuror to try the case. I So far as Other defendants are concerned "this was afceepted by both parties," the Court says, fas the true statement of the condition of the case," and after some further examina tion of the juror which elicited nothing of importance in connection with the present inquiry, no peremptory challenge having been interposed by the State, 1 Sanford was sworn as a juror and the panel was thus complete. . This, so far as we have been advised. presents all there is in ' the record which this Court can consider touching the chal lenge of these two jurors by the defendants for cause. j In Reynolds vs. the U. S., SS U. S. 145 to 150, it was decided by this Court that in Order to justify reversal of judgment of the supreme uouri or me Territory of Utah, for refusing to allow a challenge to a juror n a criminal case on the ground that he iad formed and expressed an opinion aa to he issues to be tried, it must be made :!ear!y to appear that upon the evidence he Court ought to have found tbe juror iad formed such an opinion that lie could lot in law be deemed impartial. The case Bust us one in which it is manifest the aw 1-. li nothing lo the conscience or dis cretion of the Court. If such is the tie? re at strictness which ia acquired in ordinary cases of wri'a from one Court to another in the sumo general jurisdiction, we ought to be cireful that it is not at all relaxed in a case like this, when the ground relied on for reversal by this Court of the judgment of tbe Uijjbesl Court of a State is, that the error comp!aincof is so great as to amount in law to a denial by the State of trial by an impartial jury to one who is accused of crime. We are unhesitatingly of the opin ion that no such ease is disclosed by this record. i We come now to consider the objection that defendant 8pics was compelled by the Court tj be a witness Hgainst himself. He voluntarily offered himself as a witness in his own behalf, and by so doiner he heramn bound to submit himeelf to nroDer cross. examination, to state whether he had re ceived a certain letter, which was. shown, purporting (Qbavo been written by Joban Moat ai-d addressed to him. and upon his saying ihat be bad, the Court allowed the letter to be read in evidencs against him. ThU. it is cl&imeu , was not a proper crose ex&uiiunfion. It is not contended that the subject to which the cross-examination re lated was not pertinent to the. issue to be tried; and whether tbe. cross-examination must be confined to matters pertinent to testimony in chief, or may be extended to matter in issue, is certainly a question of State law in Courts of the State, and not of Federal law. Something ba9 been 8d in tbe argument about an allege-! uorttscjnablc seircb and seizure of papers and property of some of the defendants, and their use in evidence on the trial of the case. Special reference is made is this connection to the letter of Most, about which Spies was cross-examined. But we have not been referred to any part of the record in which it appears that objection wa made to the use of this evidence on that account. And upon this point the Supreme Court of the State, in that part of its opinion which has been printed with this motion, remarks- as fol lows: "Objection that the letter was ob tained from the defendant by an unlawful seizure.ia made for tbe first time in this Cou rt It was not made on the trial in the Court below. Such an objection as Una which .is not suggested by - the nature of offered evidence, "but depends upon proof of an outside fact, should have been mtde on the trial. The defence should have proved that the Most letter was one of. the letters illegally seized by the police, and should then have moved to exclude or oppose its admission on tho ground that it was obtained by such illegal seizure. This consider tbe; Constitutional aI i Cantt posed to be: involved."
