WASHINGTON" , April 14. The Unltnl States
fin pi cine court , in nn opinion by Jusllco
Miller , today nOli'mcd the Judgment of the
California circuit court in the cnso of Cun
ningham , sticillT , plalntlfl In error , vs David
Neagle. This case grows out of the shooting
of .ludgo Terry nfc Lathrop , Gal , List August
by Ncnglc In order to protect Justice Tlold ,
vvhom.Tcrry had assaulted. The decision is
in Ncaglo's favor.
After reviewing nil the facts bearing upon
the homlcldo the opinion says that tlioy pro-
Uuoo upon the eouit "conviction of a settled
puipo < iooii the paat of Tciry mid his wife
ninountlng to'n conspiracy to murder Field. "
Justice Miller takes up the proposition ad-
viinccd by Nenglo's counsel , that Justice Field ,
when nHacked was in the Immediate dls-
cluige of his duty us n Judge mid that Ncaglo
was charged with the duty , under the laws of
the United States , to piotcct Field fiom
violence. The law requiting Justices of the
bupicmo oouit to go on" circuits is quoted
' /id the coutt says that in traveling
to poiform this duty Justice Field was us
much in the dlsch irgo of the duty imposed
by the law as whllo sitting in the e-ouit uud
ti } Ing cases. "
The court does not suppose that any special
net of congress exists which in cx-pioss tciins
nulhoii/cs marshals or deputy in irshals to net
as nboily guaid to Justices whllo on their
clicults , but in its view of Vie constitution
uny obligation fairly and propeily Inferable
fiom that instiumunt or any duty of n nmr-
fihtil to bodciived from the general sc opo of
bis duties comes \\itliln the piovislons of tlio
habeas coipus act diiecting the icleasoof
persons who uro In custody for an act done
"in pursuance of the laws of the United
Stairs "
"it would , " sus the opinion , "bo n pi eat
icpionclt to thoHVstem of govcinment of the
Unitrd States if theio is to be found -within
tlio domain of its powers no nienns protecting
Judges in the dischmgo of their duties fiom
the nmllro and hatie < l of these upon whom
their JudKinont may operate unfavoiably. If
a person in the situation of Justice Field touhl
hue no other guuicllan of ills personal s.ifety
while engaged In the eonseientiousNlischnrgo
of u disagiooablo duty than the fact that it ho
\\as nnudeied his inuuloiers would bosubjcct
to tlio laws of the state , and by thosohms
\vould bo punished , the seemity would bo
\eij insuniiient. Wo do not believe the gov
ernment of tho-United States is thus inofll-
eieut and that the constitution mid laws Inuo
left ofllccrs of the goernincnt so defenseless
und unprotected. "
It is in the executive dop n tment tbit the
touit ilmls the power of piotoction to exist
iiiul in the language of theionstitulion dircet-
ing that the piesidcnt "sh.ill take euro that
the Inns bo faithfully executed" and piovid-
ing him with the means to fulfill this obliga
tion. "Is this duty , " asks the coutt , "lim-
U ( d to the enforcement of the acts of congicss
mid treaties , or does it include the lights ,
duties mid obligations growing out of tlio
constitution and Iiiteni.itlon.il iclationsf"
The coint answers tlia question by calling
iiUcntiou to the fact that thcio is no law in
Ibo United States utithoi Mug the government
to protect u imtui.ilUed citi/cn of the United
Suites who on visiting his native plate
is aiiestcd and made to do milltaiy
hei\ko , and then cites the case of Aim tin
Mnosztu , an Austiian , wheio the gov eminent
without any specillo author ! ! } from congiobs
( lemanded mid obtained ills release ,
Tlio icgulutionsof tholand olllco appointing
timber agents and providing lor their pay
ment , \\hlcli have been held valid by the
supicmu eouit though theio is no positive
provision in law for their payment , and the
] K > wer of Iho attoiney gem.nil siibtalncd by
tlio supivmo couit to In ing suits to set aside
patcntb obtained b } fiaud , though there is no
Htututo on tliu subject , aio cited in suppoit of
tills docttlnc.
Continuing , tlio couit says It cannot doubt
the power of the piosldcnt to take nioisuics
for the piotectlon of n United States judge ,
who , while in the dibchaigo of his duty , is
thieatcned with violence , and that the do-
pal Uncut of Justleo Is the proper one to set In
motion the nocossniy means of piotectlon
mid that Ncagle had the proper autlioiity for
tlio steps lie took foi the piotectlon and defense -
fenso of Justice Field. "Thoio is"sastho
opinion , "a peace of the United States , and ii
United Stntes marshal in such a case stands
In the same relation which u count } sheiilT
does in maintaining tlio peace of a county , it
being his duty to gutud the Judge and being
present at a eiitlc.il moment when prompt ,
nit ion was necessaiy , it was his duty , which
ho had no llbeityto rofnso to porfoun , to
take tlio steps which insulted in Terry's
death.
Tlio couit next takes up tlio contention that
the question of tlio guilt of tlu * pusonor
t'haigcdlth thotiimu of inuidcr Is u quos-
tlon to ho detcunlned by the comts of Call-
foinla , and that the United States couit had
no power to take the pilsoncr and roleasohim
without utiiul by u. juiy ueeoullug to the
laws of California. Thocouit's lespoiibo to
this contention is t\nt \ ) the express tcims of
the luilioa.i luipus act directs such a course
wheio the net is done In pursuance of tlio
las of the United States anil that such has
been shown to ha\o been the case hero
Then ) \ \ as no occasion then for any fmther
tiial in tlio state couits and the United States
liu'iiit couit was as competent us any other
tiibumil toasccitiiln whether the net was
iwrfoi media pursuance of the laws of the
United States mid under proper autlioiity
ninl it was not at all necessary toempinela
Jui ) for that puiposu
.liihtUe Lumur. In Imlmlf of himself mid tlio
chief Justice , do'lvorcd ' a vigorous dissent ,
The ground on w hich they dissent is tiiat
In considei ing the liabeius coi pus act a w holly
imidmlssablu const nut Ion is placed on the
\\ord "law" as used in that statute , and that
n whollv Inndiulsbublo npplleiithm was made
of the clause "In custody in violation of tlio
constitution of tlio United States. " "All
ngroo , assuming the facts of tlio case to bo
its shown bv the record , that the personal
protection of Judge Field , as a pi ivato citizen ,
men to the death of Tciryas not only
i ight but the duty of Ncaglo and of an v other
! > } st.imler. and wo maintain that for the ex-
rivisoof that right or duty ho is answcrablo
to the couits of the state of California , and to
them atoms but wo deny that Neaglo had
nnv dutv imposed uiwn him by the laws of the
United States , growing out of the ofticial
character of Judge Field. In shoit wo think
there wus nothing , whatever , in tire fact of
his ofllcial character in the transaction , mid
therefore wo think the United States couits
have In tlio present state of our legislation no
Juiisdlction whatever in tno premises. "
in conclusion the dissenting opinion holds
that a murder Is not mi ofTonao against the
United States except when committed at
places \\hero the national govcinmcnt lias
exclusive Jinisdlction. "His a well settled
fact that such a crlmo must ho dcHucd by
statute mid no such statute lias been pointed

is thus powoilcbs to tiy anil punish

CIIICVGO , Apiil 14 , [ Special Telegram to
Tin , IU.P. ] The icorgnnlyatien meeting of
tlio Interstate Commerce Hallway association
convenes again tomoirow moining. It is
known in ndvanco Hint the Mibsouii Paclllo
will refuse to Join In tlio movement and that
tempoiaiily , at least , the attempt to foim the
Western Associated idilvvas from tlio re
mains of the Inlci state teommei co association
will be a failino. In audition to the refusal
of Iho Missouii Paciilc'Tneither the Noithein
Pacific , St. LouisSau Fran
cisco , nor Kansas City , Foit Scott
& Memphis have Lsbovvn any intci-
cst in the matter. S No satisfactory
association can be formed in the west and

Vice President McMullin of the Alton , Gen
eral Manager St. John qf the Rock Island mid
Assistant General Manager Tucker of the
St. Paul voiced the opinions of all Chic.igo
lullioael men when hi answer to questions
they agieid peifcctly on the follow ing points :
"Thero will bo no uclvnuccin iiites which will
be pei nument until a strong association is
foimcd to enfoico the Tales. There is
no present piospeet.of the founationof any
association , lot alone a strong one. The ub-
senc o ot any of the strong hues fiom mi asso
ciation would destroy its cffectlv cncss. ' The
membership of eveiy wcstein line in the ter-
litory c'onteinplated is iecessaiy for the form
ation of any association Stronger than the In
terstate Commeiei * lUcilvvoy association. It
is impossible to secure-Hills full membership
in nn association strpngjenougk to amount to
mi } thing. The main vcuson for the whole
trouble is hostile legislation. Not n line in
low a is making moncjvar. has anyhbpo of
making monov under tborpresent bunlcnsomo
legislation. The same trouble applies in u
less ilegreo in almost every w Cbtoni state.
This situation cannot last foi ever , .but the
only hcSpoof icliof Is in legislatures treating
tlio ro ids in a business , way and allowing
theni to make i.Ues wulch will guarantee fair
i-i'tuins to the ow nci-s. In the present chaotic
state of affairs in the west cveiy e'meigcncy
rate Is considered a paIng i.ito iimlevciy
attempt to go back to n , pa } lug basis is met
b } a storm of abuse and chaiges of extoition
against Iho i oids. Rates have been giad-
ually low ci cil in the west and uio now lower
than the } hav o ever been. "
General Manager Chappell explained today
that the Alton hail refused to bign the agiee
ment for an advance in vvcstcin ratcb for tlio
reason Unit the present rates vvc'ie being
manipulated on nil sides and until mi associa
tion could bo foimcd stiong enough to keep
the loads in line an } odv.inco in i.ites would
bo used simply ns an additional means of cut
ting secretly.
It will bo rcmPinbprcih that the Atchison

the Misbouii liver and Chicago. In

Mr Plumb introduced n bill for the disposi

asked if it could bo read , as ho debited , to call

It provides that the money icquiied to bo de

is not to bo constmcd , however , us peima-
nently diminishing the lund of ? 100,000 , < XX )

notes. Ilosaid thci-o was less than (700,000 -
000 of cneulutiou for thoiisuof tlio ir , ( X)0,00 ) ( > ,
of people of the United States , probably not
moio than $10 per capita. The sjstem of
llmim'o that had been built up and main
tained had biijjight about that lesult. It
hail its incuts mid its great defects. One of
its gieatcs defects was the coimnilsoiy hold
ing in tlio treasury of a v cry large hum of
money on IHo theory that it was needed and
on the fm thcr theory that the sccietaiy of
tha treasury was to bo thonibiter of ilnunci.il

but the ovidneo of which had not been pie-
sented mid some of whiih probably never
w ould bo presented. As to ctlio lemmmler ,
it was impossible to tell why it was held.
The con fusion ot subjects and amounts was
such that it w us impossible for any one to
tell about It , hut the whole sum letaincd was
about § -JV,000,000. ) Dining the hib't year
neaily $100 000,000 of the national bank ciicu
lation had been withdrawn. To meet that
rod in lion thcio was u coinage of silv or f J-
000,000 monthly and coinage of gold , but
e\peilemo showed that not only
were theio two agencies needed , but
was also needed paper money lo the maxi
mum amount outstanding at any time.
The business of the country was lan
guishing. Nc'w cntcipiises weio withheld ,
old entei puses were stiuggling to keep on
their feet Such u condition of tilings would
continue until a ivmedy was attained , and
that remc'd.v could only como bv legislation ,
because legislation , combined with executive
action had hi oiiflit the country to wheio it
now was.
Cougiess would legislate somoof the-odujs
on the silver question , but no ono know when
and no one knew how. Whatov or was clone
would ii'sult in a gicat addition to tlio money
of tlio counti t , but this mcasuio of his would
give mi addition at OIKO and the money could
bo disbursed within sixty dnjs. Ho had von-
