Washington, Dec. 30. The Court r J>rs Hals l itis of yes terday explains the non-reception of Mr. 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.

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.
