After the hearty applause bail sulsile.l, Mr-'IIciulriclts :nIireHd the law students on the Mihject of the '-Supreme Court of the United States-, and Iniluences that liave ('imtriluited to iMake It the Cn atcst Trihunal in the WurM." The main features of the allress were as follow: The jx-ople of the United .States occupy to-day the first place anions nation-. They are neither disturlK-d nor threatened hy r'urieaii dimensions. They repose in the confidence f an jrreitille ov-r. Tin ifuict that rei'in within her borders attests the undisputed sway of law and order. I-ss than one )innlre.l vears airo thev came toir'-tlier under the constitution of a comiimn -iintry. "Why tiiis inijmsinK result? What is there :tIout this limited constitution of Americans .that has hroutrht them this inemurulle niees in their efforts for the republic? The onipact under which the States conducted the devolution was found to le insufficient J'or the iirM of a cmianiit government, 'a more j-erfect Union' had Ihioihc a necessity. The constitutional convention at Philadelphia followed fast on the .surrender if Yorktown. The result was '.X IMKSTKl"TII.K I'.MOX, IXIiKsTI-.t l TIBI.K f STATUS," and u rovernment of each of the several States ossesjmralI the h)wts of government tiot le!cs;at-l nor prohibited.' They put the jnacliincry if many povernmentsj in motion, each and all endowed with life and will and J urmse. They foresaw that feuds and controversies- must arise ami that conflict of jurisdiction were inevitable. The work of stahliliinr confederacy of initial States was defective and unfinished until a tribunal should le provided capable of commanding the resjiect and confidence of all arties of the Union. To make the jridu iary intle'x-n-tlent of legislative a;rrressiii anil executive :issun!ition, their terms of service was tixttl at j;! behavior. They were subject only to imjH achinent. ( inly one pround of criticism is l..unl, and it would Ik; difficult to Milstitute a K-tter mode. COMPARISON WITH EXi.I.ISIt TRIM'.V A f.s. The j ml ire were favorably coiiiared with those (if Kurland, and after reviewing its jurwliction he declared it to Ik the reutest oiirt in the -ivilied world. The public welfare demands that when jrreat questions arise the judiciary shall sit in judgment, hut as against the lejri -dative dejartment an injunction can not isue. That department can neither le corrected or restrained. A TREMEXIN)! S IHWKR. Jud.iiC Perkins, of Indiana, declared a 3naxinis of American jurisprTidence that "tlie Constitution of the State relatively to the acts of the I.eiri-dature is paramount or . . . i i . . i . Miprvme law ; iiiai wueu ine iwo counict, the acts of the Legislature must yield as utterly void.'' The Supreme Court of the 1'nited Stat-s jxisse iion the Mvcrs.f the executive dejuirtments, but in Kntrhinil the Court is subject to the voice of Parliament. The jurisdiction of the Court is atrciiiciilou jx.wer. It may say to Conirres: '"The Constitution forbids your action. . and it shall not le." THK LK. IL-TF.NPKR IKIs. . Speaking of the lejral-tender decision, lie Said that in its nature and importance it rose far above any question in the Kiulisli ".urts. 3t involvetl the jHjwer of Congress over currency, and, it may be, the ability of the 1'ovf rnincnt to provide for its own welfare in leriods,.f the greatest jH-ril. In such investigation the judges pasM-d beyond the Slicre of ordinary judicial inquiry into the field of statesmanship. lie next re ferns I to the Indian ol icy a it arose in a t-st :ise arly in the historj of the Omit, and agreed v ith the decision rendered that tribes have rights of M-lf-trovernment nlj-ct only to the 'Institution and treat u-s. Aft-r the lose of the war tlie tendency was to streiiL'tlu-n the Keilen 1 and weaken the State authority.

I find that the sons of Harvard are everywhere, and when tin- intellect that is cultivatel hen linds its way into the occupations and pursuits of the Yst. is it not a serious concern that that intellect which was -du-catiil hen should Ik- educated to make W-st-ern society Ix-tter and stronger, Iks. aiiM- of its pn-scm-e out th-re?

'Very well. I will come: only I want you to come over to Harvard." Applause. And this youn man is with me ton lay, brinin back aijaiu to Harvard the rich fruit of the educational system if the State of Indiana. . May I say that this is a beautiful iliu-tra-tion, not only of t he ton e and character of Harvard and of Yale, for I will sj-ak of !o!h together, applause but it is an illustration if the jorce and character of the institutions of the country the ynnur man that I Scak if Mr. Holcomlx-. a jrruduatc of Harvard, the Sujicrintcndcnt of the school system f Indiana.

The litt 1- itch-s of Iield. on w hich Ihe rrubhinjr up of oaks lias exposed a liizht, sandy soil that every hnvze raises in a lo.nl of dust, .seem mere occasional scratchins up of the face of the barrens.

WASHINGTON -LETTER.

An Interview With General Haldeman, First M-3 ister to Siam. Tli King a M Apprarn on tl Throne Siamese Man ami Woman Portrait of the Kins. Washington, June -U ficneral J. A. Hald-man, the first ITnited States Minister ever sent to Siam, and the only one, is in the city now. He is hen-on a leave of ab.sence, for he finds it absolutely ne-essary to come home and cscaH' from the climate and other uncomfortable featun-sof life in Siam. "I have Ik en in bad health," he said to your -orressnd nt as he sat in Iiis comfortable room at the Arlington. "It is a hard sort f life to lead there. The climate is very hot, and the surroundings anything but h-alth-ful or omfortaMe, Then-is no drainare in the city of Ilankolc, where I was hK-ated, and the city is filthy, as is the river n which it is located, and on which a part of it floats." 'Is Ilankok a floating city, then?" '"In art. yes. There are a ;ood many houM-s built on rafts. The city. ym s-e, is on the siile f the riv-r and evtends out into it. The ln-at there is so intense that tin-re is m-cessity for tihtin it in every way jssible, and so many hoiiM-s are built on these raits. The houses are f bamlxio, as are most f thosi of that country. Yes, the city is so much on th water and in it that a very lars;e share of the travel and tratlic alout thecitv i loue in In tats. There are a few kix; or st m. carriages lielongiiig to the King and his chief oiliccrs, and to the Knglish and other Kuro-lH-ans th-n, but they are few. Very much of the travel is as I said, done on lnat. It is not always the most ant-able. for the river is as filthy as the land. You meet l-ad horses and dot;s and tilth of all sorts floating low n the ricr, and j-rhapsan hour later, as you congratulate yourself that it is gone out of the way forever, you meet it floating back with the rising tide. As there is almost every tiling there, including -lih-ra. which is almost alwavs present in a greater or less. h-gree." "A delightful place to live; is it not?" '"Well," he repliitl. with a smile, '"ym get useil to it after a time, nud svldom think alioiit it unless t he cholera bef-omes epidemic. It is not to lie inferred that lx-cau.se I have si token of these lisagreeable hatures of life tliere, that it is without some interesting qualifies and some attractions." "What scrt of itcople are thev there. General?" "Mixed; very much mixed. Of course the hulk are Siamese; but there are tinny thousands tf Chinese, a sprinkling of Knglish and 1'n-m h. w ho have a jealous eye on each other as relates to Siam. The Siamese, a is lH-lievcd. are originally of tlie same stock a the Chinese, but so far hack that the resemblance is not striking. Tlwy eat rie the same as the Chinese tlo, but not in the same way, for the Chinaman eats it with his chopsticks while the Siamese eats it with his lingcr. taking it up -out of the dish with his lingers ami so conveying it to his mouth. This of course refers to tin common in-ople. "11... 1.-. -.1 1 . j in- ocucr i iasst-s, im- xv 1 1 1 1 aim I mis- near him, and the wealthy and more intelligent live in pretty g vd style and have many of th- iiicUiimI.s of the FuropcfTiis, from whom TIIK KIMi OS TUT.

'"Oh. ves, hundreds of them; though manv of course an mere adventurers, and not the class of jx-ople that it is leasant to meet as rctresentatives of ones own civilization. There are no more, jK-rhaps, than a hundn il or two Knglish sin-akin jk-oj.U- in Ilautrkok, not native to the country, who are especially agreeable associates." "What sirt d a jierson is the King of Siam, or rather what sirt of per-oiis are the Kings, for it has two Kings, has it not? "In name it has, but the second King has no particular authority. You see they have a habit in that country when then- was war lx twecn two artii', that the victor should proclaim himself Kin and have the other fellow beheaded. It was a very lisagreeable custom, and the present King had the good taste and judgment to changi. it. He said to the other man, the vainjuisjud. "Let's comoromise this matter. 1 w ill be King and yoit be Mt-ond King." That was alxmt the way of it. It was better than being In-headed by far, and so there is, in name, a seeond- King, but it is only in name. As to the King, he is an intelligent and progressive man. He is well educated, and enjovs very good facilities for intelligence. He is thirtv-two vears of age, verv bright ami inclined to be pmgp.-ss-he in his system of government. lie speaks and writes Knglish very well.

For instance, 1 was told that 1 must never turn my back iixn him while in his prcM-nce. as it was a grave breach of etiquette. Well, I was not accustomed to this sort of thing. I am. as you Mi-, n verv large man, weighing some J.'" pounds, and for me to go racking alxuit and running the risk of stumbling over something is quite langerous, as well as uncomfortable. So I said that it was not the custom in our country, and was not done in audiences with our Pn-sident. and while 1 was iiuhc willing to give the King all the qonors we paid our Pn-sident at Imme. I would ask to follow the custom of my country. So in my audiences I talkd until I had said all 1 waited to say, and without waiting for the King to terminate the interview in tin-formal way they have then, rose, took my leave in the usual form of words, and
