contributed without stint to the relief of

A Goon Timh to Si asoauiv.—The

the present is a favorable time to sub

just half the price of the old dailies of
the city, and is on a firm and permanent
basis. It is the official organ of the
City, and no reasonable pains will be
spared to render it a reliable and enter
prising newspaper. As it is the only
paper in the City taking the telegraphic
reports of the United States and Kuro
pean News Association, !t will be inter
estiug and valuable to those taking the
old papers.
The propriet t has placed the sub

Seward** cable dispatch of Nov. 22d. It
w as presented to the Minister of Foreign
Affairs by Mr. Bigelow, and was refused,
on account of its rudeness. Mr. Bigelow
argued that what was rude in French
was very polite in English, to which the
French Minister replied that it was use
less to di-cuss a paper of a Government
which did not regard its own stipulations
of neutrality, and instanced the occupa
tion of Mntainorns. Bigelow then tele
graphed Seward, and. getting a reply
denying the occupation of Matatuoras,
the cable dispatch was received condi
tionally, hut afterwards returned to
Bigelow on the confirmation of the oc :
cupation of Matamoras.

.1 Intercuttn# JimIUIuI Opinion.
Wash-ion, Due*. .Jl P. M.
In the elaborate opinion of Mi Jus
tied Davis a yap .st the constitutionality
oi tin trial of citiz«MiM by ii ililaryccourt,t -t,
the following paragraphs aj»p» ur:
It can never be, in this country of a
written Constitution and laws, with a
Judicial Department to inmiprcl them,
that any Chief Magistrate would la; ho
tar forgetful of his duty as to order the
execution of a man who domed the ju
risdiction that tried an l convicted him,
after his case was before Federal fudges,
wfah power to decide it, who, being
nuable to agree on the grave questions
involved, had, according to known law,
sent it to the Supreme Court ot the
United States for decision. But even
the suggestion is injurious to the Execu
tive, nnd we dismiss it from further con
sideration. There is, therefore, nothing
to hinder this Court from an investigation
of the merits of this controversy. The
controlling question in the cas* is this:
Upon the facts stated in Milligan's
pctilition and exhibits filed, had the
military commission mentioned in it
jurisdiction legally to try and
sentence Milligan? Not a resident ol
one of the rebellious States, or a priso
ner of war, but a citizen of Indiana,
for 20 years past, and never in the
military or naval service, h»* is while at
his home arrested by the military power
of the United States, imprisoned and on
certain crim ■••<! charges preferred
against him, tried, convicted, and sen
tenced to be hanged by a military
commission organized under the direc
tion of the military commander of th<
military district of Indiana. Had 11» i.<
; uual tin legal power and authority
to try and punish this man?
No graver question was ever con.sid
j cred by this Court, nor one which m&re
i tieuriv concerns the lights us the whole
1 pe rnio ; for ii is the birthright of every
Viiericiin citizen, when charged with
crime, to be trfad and punished accord—
i iug to law. Tin- p ovi r «■: j u;’shment
I i> alone through the means which tF« l
! laws h*vo pr.i\idcd for that purpose, end
|if thev arc indie nil. thorp is an im-*
inanity from puuisiime >t, no matter how
great u’i ofleiidcr the individual maybe,
r how much his r> m s may have
:e of the
country, or endangered its safety.
