The cashier said he did.
“ And you know about the bank

Judge Humphries, of the District
Court in Washington, delivered his
decision in the Patterson habeas
corpus case yesterday, granting the
writ and discharging Patterson.
Patterson is under indictment in
South Carolina ior procuring his
election as Senator of the United
States by bribery. The facts have
been elicited by a committee of in
vesligation appointed by the Legis
lature of that State, before whom the
crime was established by the sworn
testimony of twenty-seven member*
of the Legislature, who deelare that
they were paid by Patterson to vote j
for him.
Upon Patterson’s indictment, lie
being beyond the limits of South
Carolina, a requisition for him was
demanded of the Governor of the
State, and served on P tterson who
thereupon applied to Humphries on a
writ of habeas corpus, tor discharge
from arrest, and obtained it yesterday.
It is not lair to pronounce Hum
phries’ decision on the meager state
ment of the telegram, which rests the
decision on the alleged inability ol
the State to vacate a senator’s seat—
a position not only absurd in itself,
but contrary to the Constitution of
the United States, which declares a
member of Congress subject to arrest
at all times, for treason or felony.

Better avoid blame than s:-tak
“ I trust everything under God;
said Lord Broughan, “ to habit, upon
which in all ages, the law-giver, as
well ns the schoolmaster, has mainly
i placed hi*? reliance; habit which makes
I every tiling easy, and casts all diffi
••nlties upon the deviation from a
wonted course. Make sobriety a
habit and intemperance will be hate
ful; make prudence a habit, and
reckless protigacy will be as contrary
to the nature of the child, grown or
adult, as the most atrocious crimes
are to any of your lordships. Give a
child tho habit of sacredly regarding
the truth ; of carefully respecting the
you simple directions what to do, and
if you don’t unloose yourself in five
minntes and express yonr entire satis
faction with the process, I’ll givo you
ten dollars. If you find that I am a
man of my word, you’ll pay me five
dollars.”
The cashier said that nothing would
be fairer.
Another thing,” continued the
visitor, “ I am a poor man, and this
secret is my only stock in trade, so
I’ll ask you not to teach any one else
how to do it, for that would spoil my

The cashier consented to the ar
rangement.
“ Take this §10 bill,’’ said tho other.
“ If I fail, you keep it; if you are
satisfied, you return it to me with
another $5. And now this is how we
do it.” So saying, he took a roll of
