EBBITT HoCSS, WHMIN0T05, 1 la April, 1876. I Hallett Kilbourne is not a person who is in himself of any great importance to the Amerioan people, in one way of another. Perhaps fou never heard of Hallett Kilbourne? That would not be Burpris- ing. A montn ago ne was Known cnieey as a real estate agent of Washington, who bad Bomehow become rajjed up in Dis trict affairs by occupying an actfva rela tion to the so-called Real Estate Pool. I The Real Estate Pool was a sort of partnership, where Jay Cooke & Co. put in $25,000, and fire other gentlemen put in $5000 apiece--tbe money to be used in purchasing real estate whereyer It coijld be had at a great bargain, for purposes of speculation. The bankruptcy brought the Pool into the Courts lor a par ttiop 01 Jay Cooke & Co.'s interest, for the benefit of their creditors. The matter was ar ranged by paying into Court the entire amount of Jay Cooke & Co.'s investment. Jfow, one would suppose that the Court ought to be held ,.,(Snint for the adjudication of the questions Involved ; but the inqui- .'Ion of the Court did Pot extena iar enough develop the names of the Other parties to o. lD"" u, . i,Mn- to (Jni put who these other parties may be, " h 0rt "? id not satisfy this aching curiosity. The present House, which seems to' that " has a mission to pry into all the I'eaniW afloat, whether public or private, s' committee to work, to review the decision of the Court, and satisfy the curiosity of the oldwiveB of both sexes who had been disappointed in 'their desire to know. Kilbourne was summoned before this committee, and required to deliver up hie books and papers to inquisitive members thereof, in order that they might inspect his business operations, and determine whether there was anything to whioh a Confederate Congress could take exception. Kilbourne was defended by no less able counsel than ex-Attorney General Jeremiah S. Black, the most emi nent Democratic lawyer in the country. Black propounded a series of questions to his client, on the examination, which did not leave a loop hole of escape, if there had been anything in his business to justify the interference of Congress. In response to these interrogatories Mr. Kilbourne swore positively that the business of the "roof (so- called) was strictly private ; that neither the Government nor any official tnereoi had any interest in it or was a party to it in any sense ; that the demands of the properly authorised court had Been satisfied as to the interest of Jay Cooke 4 Co., and that he was willing to produce all hia books and papers, if even a false charge should be lodged against him that there was any official interested, or any point of concealment entitling the committee to have access to his private books and papers. Judge Black had arrayed his in terrogatoriea with such consummate skill that the committee had nothing left save Its unsatisfied euriosity to rest upon. Unsatisfied curiosity goes a great way with a committee of this present Congress, It will dig into the vitals of any sewing-circle in the Great Republic, to satisfy its ouriosity as to the Idlest tittle-tattle of any tea-drinking old maid in the universe. Hallett Kilbourne the Unknown, is therefore in danger of becoming the Very Much Known, as the object of tyranny on the part of the House of Representatives; that body having order ed his imprisonment until he shall pro duce his books and papers, and satisfy the ouriosity of the sovereign committee of the House as to his private bnsiness re lations. There are some fort; millions of people la tk United Stataa, mostly in oontampt of our House of Representatives; bnt Hallett Kilbourne has the distinguished honor of being the sole imprisoned on that behalf, by the solemn decree of their Imperious Highnesses. Hallett Kil bourne, the real eBtate agent, is a man of little consequence; Hallett Kilbourne the representative of personal liberty, stand' ing out against the outrageous tyranny of the House, becomes a Hampden, a Sid ney, and a hero. A Democratic member of the Pool, in sheer shame of the injus tice and tyranny of his party, has petitioned to be allowed to satisfy the curiosity of the committee, by giv ing the names of all the stockholders in the Pool, of whioh he says he is a member. But his testimony would wrench Kilbourne from the clutch of the Confederate House, and Eldridge is care, fully excluded from the subpena of the committee. The law itself requires the Speaker of the House to demand the indictment of any recusant witness in con tempt of the House. This duty has been ignored by the Speaker, and Hallett Kilbourne baa been denied the poor privilege of being indicted by regular legal process for contempt of the House. There is nothing in all history more re pugnant to our ideas of personal liberty than the Lttlret dt Cachet, under which the subjects of France were incarcerated in the Bastile, at the sole will of the King, without appeal to the Courts, or protection from the laws. It is difficult to see how such an arbi trary power may be made less, odious, when it is exercised by one branch of the legislative department, in a Republic, on the sole authority of a political majority, without appeal to the Courts or the Ex ecutive, In our country the persofral liberty of the cititen is jealously guarded, by the right of freedom from search or Beizure except by due process of law, by the writ of Habeas Corpus, and by the right of trial by jury. Tet our House of Repre sentatives claims the power to set aside all these safeguards, and to incarcerate any cititen, at the will of a political ma jority, upon its sole and unappealable dc? oision that auch citizen stands in contempt of the House. He is denied the light of appeal to the Courts, denied all prfloess of law, Habeas Corpus, or trial by jury, and is sent to prison, powerless to defend himself, through either judicial or executive interference, and this is done by authority of one-half the Legislative Department of the Government. This one-half of the Legislative Department cannot make a law the whole of that branch can make a law only with the approval of the Executive. Yet this half of one branch only claims the power to set aside all the jegaf and constitutional guarantees of personal liberty, and plajma that there is no authority on earth that baa evn the right to inquire whether the House may not have mistaken its own power in the premises. It refused to surrender Mr. Kilbourne to a. courtp which demanded his body with due process. It refuses to submit the question to the courts whether ths law or (he Constitution gives it the right to be sole judge of its own power to harass citizens; or whether Kilbourne has done anything to place him within its power, It simply seir.es him and holds bim by brute force, as the lettrc du cachet seised and held citizens of France, and Ijke the King it refuses to recognize any authority lq review, revise, approve or set aside Its decision. If tbeHquse of Representatives may make its own pretext for arresting a private citizen, and be the sole judge whether its pretext is sufficient, there is absolutely no protec (Ion whatever for any citizen who may incur the enmity cf a political majority in the House. It can take any pjtizen of the Republic out of his bed, and put bim I" adSogeon lor as long a ume as v" life extends. There is no check whatever upon its power over the liberty of the cititen, and no appeal whatever from itsdeoision. This is the literal plain English of the decision of the House in the Hallett Kilbourne case. If it is sound, the lower House of Congress has a power over the liberty of the citizen more abso lute and complete and supreme than that of any Emperor or absolute monarch in the civilized world. The public attention has been too much diverted from this monstrous and tyrannical assumption. Kilbourne is not the man to excite a proper degree of attention to the principles involved. People care nothing about Kilbourne personally. He is Indifferent to most, and odious to some, by- reason of bis presumed connection with persons suspected of dishonest practices, in the District affairs. In the indif ference for the man, the injustice of the House is overlooked, and the peril of such a precedent is disregarded. Yet, there is nothing of more importance to the publlo liberty in any event of the year, than the action of the House in this case, if it is to stand as a precedent of the power of Con Kress and the helplessness of the oitlten. It remains to be seen whether Judge Cartter, who proposes to test the power of the House by ordering Kilbourne be fore the Supreme Court of the District to-morrow, will be able to modify the position of our Confederate Brigadiers. Whatever may be his decision, the House has put itself on the record. After all the noise which was made by the" DemoO' racy over the "arbitrary arrest" of traitors in time of war, there does seem to be sort of inoongruity in this Kilbourne business. It seems a little atrange, to say the least, to find that the very first time the Democracy gain a foothold, however small, in the National Government, the first thing they do is to set up a claim to go through a private citizen's books and papers "without due process of law"- without any process, or any law; and when be asks that at least charge of wrong doing shall be made before he delivers his books and papers, they make an " arbitrary arrest " and thrust him into jail, denying him a trial by jury, or any trial with or without judge or jury. All this, remember, is done, not because Kilbourne is charged with any crime, but because he refuses to let a lot of inquisitive gentlemen look into his books and papers, to find out whether there is anything in them upon which a charge of any kind may be based. Remember, also, that Kilbourne is, and always baa been, as strictly and solely and only a private citizen as the late William Allen has been since his last re tirement to Fruit Hill. J. M. C. Does the editor (of the State Jour nal) believe, and will he state, that a million and three quarters dollars have been saved by the Legislature ?IH9patch, That is exactly the assertion you at tributed to the Statu Journal and have been in a state of editorial phrensy over for Beveral days. And now you want to know whether we will make ill Of course not. Nor have we ever said such thing, or intimated it. Your style of oontroversy Beems to be to put assertions in other people's mouths that they do not make, and then proceed to controvert them with laborious assiduity. It is a cheap way eome newspapers have of appearing to expose misstatements and to give utterance to suppressed truth. A writer in the St. Louis Republican, after reviewing the Presidential situation, ooncludes that, "after all, it is doubtful if any man that is prominently mentioned stands a better chance than Hayes, of Ohio." That opinion seems to be breaking out in spots all over the country. There are railway tax cases pending in the Illinois courts which involve about onethird of the entire taxable property of the State. There is a live Emperor in New York a person who is really the Emperor of something. It is unprecedented. An Incident of A. T. Stewart'! Ca reer. New York Tribune. A short time before our late war broke out Mr. Stewart entered into a contract for the building of his house on Fifth av enue and Thirtyfourth street. The gen tleman who made the estimate wnicn De- came the basis of the agreement made what he supposed waB a Bate and even large allowance for any rise in the price of labor and all kinds of material. But the prke of labor and material advanced rar beyond tne wildest expectation long before the house was completed, in fact, before its erection was fairly begun, and the contractors became financially embarrassed. Mr. Stewart would not release them from their legal obligations, but entered into supplemental agreement with them by which he was to advance the money, and they were to go on with the work, being held liable for the amount that the house might cost above the contract price. The result was that the contractors became indebted to Mr. Stewart in the amount of a great many thousand dollars, and after very valuable quarry property had passed over to him in part extinguishment of his claim, he brought an action for the reoovery of over $30,000 more. Two of the contractors were supposed to be the wealthy men of the concern; against these he obtained judgment by default. The third partner was the builder, and he was made a party defendant in the action. Mr. Stewart had sworn to his complaint,and this would have made it necessary to have the answer sworn to. There wouldI .have been no' trouble in swearing to a good answer; but it was hoped that the antion might be compromised, and it was feared that a sworn answer would put Mr. Stewart somewhat out of humor fur' compromise. Delay was resorted to, and through the good nature of Judge Hilton many extensions of lime were granted. FiEi!!? I' was stated that it was a matter of pride with Mr. Stewart to get judgment, sinus niuoh haq been said about him relative to this transaction, snd that now he wished to be vindicated by obtaining judgment, ft was understood that if the defendant would Cjnsci)t tp, Mr. Stewart's obtaining judgment he would give a release within one week without charge. This exceeded expectations, because oeyeral thousand dollars had been ofl'ered in 'compromise, To Mr. Stewart it was a matter of pride; to the huider it was a matter of financial existence. The condition was acceded to. Mr. Stewart obtained a judgment of $33,792 20 against the builder, and the builder had the judgment against him satisfied gratuitously within a week. A generous and just act was done by Mr. Stewart, and the builder, Alexander Maxwell, of Harlem, whom he could then have crushed financially, was saved. About HarrlaareTo tbe Men. A physician writes the following sensible advice t My profession has thrown me among women of all classes, and my experience teaches me that God never gave man greater proof of His love than to place woman here with him. My advice is : Go propose te the moBt sensible girl you know. If she says yes, tell her how' much your inoome is, from what souroe derived, and tell her you will divide the last shilling with her, and love her with all your heart in the bargain. And then keep your promise. My word for it, she will live within your income, and to your last hour you will regret that you didn't many sooner. Gentlemen, don't worry about female extravagance and feminine untruth. Just you be true to her, love her einoerely, and don't be charry in telling her bo, and a more fond, faithful, foolish slave you will never meet anywhere. You won't deserve her, I know, but she will never know It. Now throw aside pride and selfishness, and see what will oome of it. BY TELEGRAPH TO THE OHIO STATS JOURNAL WASHINGTON. IMPORTANT TAX QUESTIONS. Washington, April 16. It is expected that the Supreme Court will to-morrow render a decision in what are known as the Illinois railroad cases, which involve several highly important questions con cerning taxation of lands and other property. The company claims that in some respects the taxes were illegally levied, and in others that assessments were too high. It has been argued on the appeal that no court should in such cases restrain the collection of a tax, even temporarily, unless the company tendered the amount auinittea to De legally levied, or the amount upon the valuation which was admitted to be correct. It is said there are no less than seventyfive euits pending in Illinois to enjoin the collection of taxes assessed against lands and otber of the railroad companies, which represent perhaps onethird of the entire taxa ble property ot that stale. THE SAFE BURGLARY BUSINESS. District Attnrney Wells does not be lieve the safe burglary trial will be reaohed before the middle of June. No trouble is expected in obtaining the pres ence here of Whitely, Nettleship, Hayes and Cunse.' Whitely's pardon depends on his testifying, and on his testimony depends entirely the case against Babci tk. Harrington has not been found, but li is believed he will come forward and take hia chance, though the evidence against him iBvery positive. There is no evidence implicating ex-Governor Shepherd, Thomas Shepherd, or Dr. Sharp, and the District Attorney does not believe Mar shal Sharpe any way guilty of packing me jury. THE BELKNAP IMPEACHMENT. There seems doubt that General Bel knap will be present tomorrow in the Senate Court of Impeachment. His counsel, Blair, Carpenter and Black, yes terday tormally agreed upon pleas, namely, that the court has no jurisdiction in the case, Belknap not now being in office. and that as the offense that Belknap is charged with iB not indictable it cannot be impeachable. THE OTTMAN EMBEZZLEMENT CASE. Effort will be made to-morrow to fix a day for another trial of Ottman for em bezzlement. Ihe evidence in the Hallack case will be used against bim. NEW YORK. The Stewart Eatate Dom Pedro at Cbnrcb Fatnl Explosion of anbeli. New York, April 16. It appears that, in addition to the power of attorney given Judge Hilton to manage the estate, Mrs. Stewart yesterday filed in the Register's office a transfer and assignment of all her late husband's share in the business of A. Stewart ct Co., as well as all his prop erty, real and personal, except real estate included in the city ol new lord, to Judge Hilton, for tbe sum of one million dollars. Both instruments are dated April 11, IB0. Don Fedro, accompanied by the rim- press and suite, attended divine services at St. Patrick's Cathedral this morning. The Emperor and Empress were given seats in the sanctuary within the railing. Solemn high mass was celebrated and Vicar General Quinn, on behalf of Cardinal McCloskey, who is sick, welcomed their majesties to this country and con gratulated them on their prosperous voyage. He prayed that the remainder of their journey might be equally auspi cious and happy. Large 'crowds were both inside and outside the Church to catch a glimpse of the imperial visitors. Alter Church they were driven through to Central Park. A shell recovered from the wreck of the Merrimac exploded at the Portsmouth, Virginia, navy yard Saturday ,killing two negroes and Beverely wounding several others. Crooked Whisky Cronies Golne; into Retirement. St. Loujs, April 16. General MoDon-ald aDd W. O. Avery left this morning for the penitentiary at Jefferson City. McDonald was gay, jocose and full of humor, but Avery was depressed and ehunned the gaze of the crowd at the depot and people in the cars. On the way up Avery regained his spirits somewhat, and became more talkative. He stated to reporters on board the train that on his return to Washington, after bis trial and conviction here, he found a letter which he had diligently searched for on several previous occssiona explaining why the two one hundred dollar notes were sent from St. Louis and to Captain Joseph. He did not give the explanation contained in the letter, but expressed belief that had it been in evidence in his trial it would have cleared him. He showed it to Colonel'Dyer yesterday, and the latter expressed surprise that Judge Krutn did not make it one of the grounds for hie motion for a new trial. Tbe nasalllon Sllnlne; Tronblea. Cleveland, April 16. Reports from Massillon to-day state that all is quiet at the mines. The strikers, after driving the miners from the works, disbanded and left the vicinity of the mines in squads. No arrests were made. None of the injured rnen are seriously hurt. The Coal company desire to put men in the mines again at once, and as the sheriff of Stark county says he pannot afford them proper protection, they have appealed to the State, which will give them the desired aid. Adjutant General Wikoff and Attorney General Little are at MadiBon. It is stated on good authority that an organized force qf frgra 400 to 600 strikers will go to Silver Creek Bome day this week tndriveout the miners who are working at reduced pay there. The sheriff of Wayne county will arrive at Massillon to-night to confer with tieneral Wikott in regard to the action necessary for the protection of the auver ureeit mines. Kameleas Ontraite Avenged. Lot3i8ViLL, April 16. A Danville special to the Courier-Journal says this morning the jailer was awakened by a number of men. He asked them what was tbe matter, and was told that a policeman wished to incarcerate a prisoner. When the jailer opened the door of the jail he was confronted by four masked men, with pistols ready tp discharge. One watched him while the others released Jim Tnrpin, a mulatto, imprisoned for committing a nameless outrage upon a seven old daughter of Lee Irvine, of Perryville. The mulatto was found cold and stiff in death, hanging from the branon or a tree, Weatber Probabilities. Washington, April 171 a. m.

IMPERIAL TALK. After breakfast, while we were watching the bold coast that lies between Cape Frio and tbe capital, an opnortunitv pre sented itself to enter into conversation with the Emperor without appearing to intrude upon his privacy. The Herald correspondent, remembering his former experience, addressed His Majesty in Drench, but be immediately said, "Talk to me in English for my improvement." He continued, "The day is very good: the water is quite oalmg I think we will have a pleasant voyage" all spoken clearly, but with a slow, measured enunciation. "How long does Your Majesty intend to remain in the United Stales?" " From the date of my arrival, which is set down for April 15, to the 12th of July. I will go from New York to San Francisco by the Pacific railway and return overland. It is my wish to visit all the States. I will go to California before the opening of the Philadelphia Exhibition, but will return in time to be present at the ceremony of the opening. Mv ob ject is to pass over the plains before the hot weather comes. I will stay in San Francisco hve days to visit all the points of interest in the city." " Will the Empress accompany Your Majesty to San Francisco 1 " ('No; the Empress will remain either In New York or Philadelphia with J)r. de Sonza Foutes and Vice Admiral Delamar. Only the Yieconde de $om Retiro, Dr. Macedo and Dr. Henning will accompany me on my journey to San Fancisco, because it will be necessary to travel very fast. Tt will be very fatiguing. On my return, I will visit Niagara, Montreal and the Mississippi. I want to Bee the chief centers of industry, to learn something that may be of use to my country when I return."

"But the Cunard is the safest. It never lost any of its ships?" "No; the Hue has been very lucky. It is also very well managed, and is esteemed the safest line." "Very well, very well; the safest is always the best,1' "What Is your programme for Eurone?" " From England I will go to Paris, thence to Germany to the waters, where the Empress will remain while I go to Holland, Sweden and Russia. The Bum mer months will be passed in the cold cli mates and the winter in the warm cli mates. December and January will be passed in Italy, fifteen days in Naples, fifteen days in Runie, fifteen days in Flor ence and nlteen davs in .Northern Italy. During my trip to Egypt I will ascend the Kile as far as tbe flrst waterfall. After- ward it Is my intention to visit .Asia Minor and Palestine. You see my visit in Europe is all arranged, but the programme for the United States is not yet made out." "Yonr Majesty means to accomplish a great deal in a short time.'1 "Yes. I am always go-ahead." "In fact, Your Majesty is quite a lankee. "Yes. certainly. lama Yankee. I al ways go ahead. Are you English or xankee r "Yankee." "From what part?" "New York."

The border is very deep aoo ricn, oeing in dark colors. The lace curtains correspond with those in all the other rooms, and the heavy curtains over mem are crimson silk with gold-colored linings. lo tne nit of this room is a smaller parlor, which the Emoeror will proDaoiy use as nis most private room. It is carpeted with Axminster of a square pattern. On the other side of the Em peror's private parlor :s his sleeping- room, with a walnut bedroom set, plain but rich in pattern. The carpet is a Wil ton of a Persian pattern, and the chairs and lounge are n nulled In Persian patterns and dark colors. Next' to this suite that of the Empress. Her parlor is carpeted with a paleMoquette ot delicate colors and pattern. The ceiling has been handsomely frescoed, and the chandelier, like most ot tne others, is of pale green and gilt. Ihe curtains and parlor sec are nnisned in crimson and black. A handsome rosewood chif fonier, a grand piano, and bronze or naments and clock under the large mirror finish this room, which is the most attractive looking of the entire suite. Next to the Empress's parlor is her Bleeping room, furnished in blue, with a plain but rich set of French walnut furniture. Opening into this room is one finished in green, designed for the Empress's lady of honor. Each sleeping room has a completely furnished bath room connecting with it. The last suite on the Twentvthird street side is carpeted with Axminster in a single piece. The curtains are of ponao tapestry, in a Moorish pat tern, and the parlor Bet is upholstered to match. On the inner aide of the hall by which all these rooms are connected are six rooms, all handsomely fitted lip for the accommodation of the subordinate members of the suite. The charges to be made for these accommodations are to be only $5 a day for each person, which is tne regular price ot board at the hotel, but the " extras" which an Imperial taste will undoubtedly demand will Drobablv swell the bill which Dora Pedro will have to pay lo a large figure. An Incog; Emperor. New York Times. The Emperor of Brazil has made it tolerably plain that he wishes all public and official personages in the United States to understand that he expects to be treated while here simply as a private gentleman on his travels. Now that he has been btly welcomed lo our shores, it is to be hoped that busvbodiea of all grades of importance will respect the incognito which Dom Pedro Beeks lo preserve. From impertinent curiosity and superserviceable attention we trust, for the good name of tbe country, that our imperial visitor will be free. The (resident elect ot Peru passed through New York the other day without exciting either comment or public attention. It is equally due to our dignity and that of the Prince who seekB among us simply thejprivlleges of a private citizen, to allow the imperial sojourner to go on his way without eithermobbing him or staring him out of countenanee.
