Prospect, C S Owen. LaGrange Fefnale' College, J 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.
