SENATOR PATTEIWON NOT A FUGITIVE
FROM JUSTICE.
Washington, December 5.—Judge
Humphreys this morning delivered
his opinion in the mutter of Jno. J.
Patterson, relator bn hubens corpus,
to be relieved from the warrant of ur-
rest on requisition of the Governor of
South Carolina. There were present
among others, Senator Patterson and
two or his counsel, namely Messrs.
Cook and Sliellaburger, and Mr.
Lowndes, attorney for South Caro
lina. The Judge’s opinion was elab
orate. He denied the power of the
State of South Carolina to vacate Sen
ator Patterson’s commission which
must continue until constitutionally
revoked in pursuance of organic au
thority. It could not be said that
Senator Patterson was a fugitive from
justice, as he was here in discharge of
official duties like all other meinbers
of Congress, and besides he had noted
in the capacity of Senator years be
fore the present indictment was
brought against him in the South
Carolina court.
The writ was granted and defend
ant discharged.

THE NEW DEMOCRATIC PAPER,

NONE CLEARED.
Special to Enquirer-Sun.J
Washington, December 5.—The
reports that the suspected Cuban
steamer Estelle has been granted
clearance were premature.
JUDGE HUMPHREYS’ TALK.
Humphreys’ decision in the Pat
terson case concludes: I think I am
bound to take judicial cognizance that
party organization is one tiling and
faction to destroy it is another. The
most cruel tyranny would be the ap
plication of civil torms of law to the
dominance and triumph of the pas
sions of a faction. 1 cannot reconcile
it to ray sense of duty to give aid in
§ lacing manacles and handcuffs ubout
} e individual citizen for the purpose
of surrendering him bound infertile
hands of those who may not be dis
passionate enough to vindicate the
true rights of the individual, or
to those who might lie led
by impassioned appeals to a
condition of mind they could
not resist. Zeal for the correction
of wrong has often led to the convictr
ion of the iunooent. It is the duty of
courts to sit still, deliberate and with
civil procedure to throw their pro
tection in such decision us may
curb and control wayward action.
Let the man he remanded to the body
j/t which he is a member. That body
is legally, constitutionally, morally,
and intellectually capacitated to dis
pose of tile questions involved and to
condemn or acquit. I discharge him
from arrest of the warrant for his
extradition and the same is hereby
ordered.
EUSTIS CERTAIN TO BE SEATED.
Special to Enquirer-Sun.]
Washington, Decembers.—There
Is no doubt that Eustis will be seated
as Senator from Louisiana, but there
will probably be six speeches on eacli
side, not for delay but to enable Sen
ators to place themselves on record.

Ex-Governor Packard is known to
have visited to-day the Secretary of
State, Secretary of Wur, the Attorney
General and the Commissioner of
Internal Revenue. The visit of the
Vice President and Secretary Sher
man to the White House is under
stood to have reference to the New
Orleans Custom House, and it is like
ly in this instance the President will
depart from his determination of re-
nominutingpnrties against whom the
committees of the Senate have taken
no adverse action. Action, however,
in the New Orleuns Custom House is
not probable to-morrow. Pending

EXPLANATIONS ASKED FOK.
Versailles, December 5.—Leon
Renault gave notice lie would ask the
Ministry to explain tlie semi-official
note which stated, in substance, that
President MacMalion’s efforts to form
a conciliatory Ministry have been so
far frustrated by tlie exhorhitunt de
mand of the Left that a congress of
the two houses should be held for tlie
revision of the Constitution.
M. Grevy said lie was tlie only
member Of tile majority who had
been summoned by the President, and
he did not speak in the name of the
Left or indicate any conditions.
Tlie a fill l r causes much comment.
Several members of the Left declared
after the sitting that the idea of a
congress, which had only been men
tioned in private conversation, had
been seized upon nt the Elysee as a
pretext for breaking off negotiations
for reconciliation.
DENIALS OF THE LEFT.
Paris, December 4—Midnight.—
The Bureaux of tlie Left of the .Sen
ate issued note formally denying any
Senator belonging to their section
lias been authorized by the Republi
cans, or commissioned by President
MucMahon, to formulate conditions
for the formation of a Parliamentary
Cabinet. Deputies of the Left have
issued a similar declaration.
THREAT TO THE CHAMBER.
Manchester, December 5.—The
Guardian'u Paris special says Mar
shal MacMahon’s refusal to' receive
the delegation of merchants on Mon
day, has caused great irritation. .
A Reuter from Paris Is reported to
day in Parliamentary circles flint tlie
Government contemplates prorogue-
ingtheChnmbcrof Deputies and form
ing a dissolution of the Ministry,
should theChamber not vote tlie Bud
get to-morrow.
CONDITIONS ENTIRELY UNSETTLED.
London, December 5.—A special
to tlie Timm from Paris says all po
litical finessing and ostensible nego
tiations which have been going on
for some days past simply conceal u
plan of campaign for the execution of
which it was necessary to prepare the
public opinion. Tills plan is no other
hail a fixed idea of a second dissolu
tion. President MncMalion lias sum
moned the Duke DeAndiffrct Par-
luier and MM. Grevy and Dufoureto
tlie Elysee, but did not enter on a
question of a new cabinet witli any
if them. He merely spoke generally,
neither side formulating any propo
sals. Then lie saw Senator DuClerie,
who lia<i no mission or official status,
and asked him whnt the Left de
mnnded. M. DuClerie, thinking to
bring about a compromise, wrote a
note expressing his views of what liis
iarty might expect. Of course
ike a man bargaining, lie
asked much in the hope of
obtaining little. Immediately the
Right unanimously cry out, you see
what the Left demands, a coup d’etat
against tlie Senate; tlie dishonorof the
Marshal. It is impossible to come to
an understanding with them. Next
day, when every body belives nego
tiations are about to begin, till official
note announces that they are broken
off - ; that tlie President cannot yield
to the demands of tlie Left and dis
arm himself and the Senate. In
other words, advantage is taken of
the individual, unofficial and almost
confidential act of a Senator in order
to strike with ill-gulsed enthusiasm
into the path of a second dissolution
Tlie Chamber having furnished no
pretext one is sought for outside, and
where it is believed to have been
found. This note is issued as the first
warning of tlie battle in which it is
desired to engage. The scheme is
transparent.
After the overwhelming contradic
tion given to tlie note by last night’s
proceedings in tlie Chamber, what
will the President do? That is diffi
cult to say. It is terrible to contem
plate a dissolution involving!!!! illegal
collection of taxes, and it is paiiiiul to
see tlie Marshal lien lined in between
violence and dissolution; hut judging
by tlie past, it is to be feared Ills
prompters will select that course
which is most dreaded by moderati
men.
NEGOTIATIONS U ROB ABLE.
Special to Enquirer-Sun.]
London, December 5.—A Reuter’f
from Paris contains the following
In parliamentary circles this evening
in consequence of groups of the Left
having protested against the imputa
tion that they wished to modify the
Constitution, an arrangement is not
thought impossible. Negotiations to
that end are believed to he imnii
nent. It is rumored the Left ar
dined to postpone debate upon the
Budget question until Monday, in ol
der to facilitate negotiations.
M. De\Vclohe, Minister of the In
terior, ill receiving the Mayors of
Paris and^othem to-day, declared the
Marshal's was not a roup cl'rial Gov
ernment, lmt would respect Law

A pointed crown of goldglitteredon
a work-table in a private parlor of
tlie Coleman house Into which a
porter was ushered on sending up his
card to Rose Kytinge. II served lo
recall the pupose of his visit, which
laid grown somewhat dim and indis
tinct under the greeting glance of the
new Cleopatra's flashing dark
eyes.
“(iood evening, madam,” said the
reporter, about to seat himself—he is
somewhat short-sighted—oil some
needlework, Cleopatra’s needlework,
which the lady had evidently laid
aside when she arose to receive her
visitor.
“Good even—not there, please.
Take this seat," said the iiosti
witli one majestic sweep of the arm
removing the reporter from liis I use-I
cure position, liulf standing, half sit- i
tingund with the other catching up I
the menaced danger, which laid an
eye, softly bright, and was threaded.
There was a pause—composure on
the part of the lady, a light |«Tspira-
tion and speechless gratitude as con
cerned the reporter.
“Can I serve you in any way?”
queried Cleopatra, calmly.
The reporter was about to reniark-
tliat if a life of gratitude for what she
had already averted, if devotion, un
dying, deep—hut the pointed ’ crown
recalled him.
‘‘I read in a paper,” lie remarke
‘‘that when the dressmaker intrustc
with making your costumes for Cleo
patra went to .co l’ieous painting, to
which slio was referred for sugges
tions, she oume away saying tlmt tlie
whole matter might’ lie more proper
ly referred to a jeweller. 1 have been
sent to ask—"
It might have liven fancy, but tlie
reporter thought that at this moment
the lady’s face was eovulsed with
laughter, ilu paused.
“Pray continue,” said Cleopatra,
"you have been sent to ask—?”
“Why.”
“Why?”
"Why; yes, ni’in"
“I infer,” said the actress, “that
you are not familiar with Picon's
printing of Cleopatra."
The reporter confessed liis igno
rance, and a creepy, uncomfortable
feeling came over mill as the thought
entered ids mind that perhaps lie
had trodden on dangerous ground.
Wlial—is the costume?” lie man
aged to say. “Why should a jeweller
have been meulioiied in connection
with the matter? Of—what—docs—
It—consist?” lie blurted, out, getting
warm.
< 'leopatra rose to her full height and
the word came from her lips with
unmistakable elearness:-
“A necklace.”
The reporter bUishinglv withdrew.

In the hip pocket of mi old va
grant, pulled in by the police the
other night, was a memorandum
book full of Ids own writing with
pencil, and someof Ids pliilosolty is
good enough to lie preserved. Ills
first paragraph reads:
"Drinking had whiskey because il
is offered free Is like getting in the
way of bullets purchased by ail
enemy.”
A second reads:
"Honesty is tin- best policy, hut
some folks are salslslied with the sec
ond best. 11 is hard to he honest on
on un empty stomach.”
A third runs:
"A dry plank under a rainproof
shed is better than a feather lied in
jail, and one isn't annoyed by tlie
jailor bringing in a square break
fast.”
A fourth says;
“Pay as you go. If you haven't
any thing to pay with, don't go. If
you ure forced to go, record every
indoptedness and let Your heirs settle
the balls.”
The fiftili explains:
“We should Imve charity for all.
When the winter winds ‘blow cold
and drear we vugs should pity the
poor fellows in India who arc having
red hot weather."
The sixtli is recorded:
“Politeness costs nothing, hut it is
not expected that von will wake a
man tip at midnight to ask permis
sion to go through Ids lien house,
it is more courteous in lei him en
joy liis needed repose.”
The seventh and Iasi was noted
down as follows:
"When you pick up an apple core
lo not find fault because il is not the
apple itself, hut he satisfied witli the
grade of descent. Do not lie ashamed
of your occupation. We cannot all
he lords, nor can we all lie vagrants.
As I cann ot lie a lord I should not
lament at being a vagrant. Be truth
ful and outspoken. Tlmt is, tell’em
von are a Chicago tire sufferer.
Keep seasonable hours or some
other vug will get your plunk first.
Re hopeful, cheerful and good na-
tured. Growling won’t cure a sore
heel.’
