 GOVERNOR iloUsToN.-I Ills gentle man was again arrested last evening, and we understand, has been indicted upon the evidence of Mir. Stanberry in the city court, for an assault and hatte- ", with intent to kill.

 This is ending with what should have been the beginning. The civil authors ty of the District is of sufficient eiliea- scy to punish offences of all grades aceor- ding to the laws--and we cannot be 5rou;,i tto tto believe that that the person of | member of Congress should he held r.ore inyIolable than that Of the Prcsi- dent or any other citizen, and that .he ,omnlpotent power of the British House of Lords or Commons should be accord ~ed to either branch of Congress, confer ring authority to define q crime after it's commission-eto try the oifender-to -contrive q punishment after eonvie- : tion-and to execute it's own judgment in its owa way. There is no warrant for this in the Constitution, nof is there q lettero ot any law ofthis land to coun- tcnance sueha high handed course.

 A question, NC suppose, will now -nrise which will involve the power of :, Courtto punish q second lime for the same offence. It is said, now, by some lntavor of another conxicton, to super add the punishment of imprisonment in the Penltentiary ofthis District, to ttle duress already submitted to under the custody Of the Sergeant at Arms ofthe House, that there are several grades of crime in the same act, and that the breach of privilege was cegnizablc and punishable by the House, while the bat-, tcry is quite another thing, and to be avenged in the Courts. This is new doctrine. Itis as clear violation of the Constitution, which forbids that man shall be punished twice for the same offence, asifa man were first con- Sieted and punished by imprisonment for man-slaughter, and then hung for murder for the same act.
