What prompted tbeuf Why nothing hut the eomplalnta of men who are In the habit of g-ing before grant! juries, secretly making complaints for the purpose of Having men prosecuted, llow many cases ol indictments are prosecuted to conviction?

Well, sir, I wOJ met with tht same kindol tala when I went home last session 1 replied, gentlemen, do you know of violation or luw? Yes, we do. Then if you fail to go before an ofll. cr und give information, you are an ootPlory to the violation of law When such u po-ltion la taken by all good cltl-sent we will ha e no more complaint of toll law Mr. SHKLTON spoke at length, answering other arguments presented. Mr. UKOWN. Yesterday 1 had to quote icrtpture on the lawyers. I think It has become necetaary to do so to-dny again . The scripture-say "woe to the lawyers." Some nmy think that has reference to some time away in the future. I think It proper to ue the word In the ttenae of progression, and suy to the lawyers that I think it time to "woe" now.
