most European journals to throw light
on the matter have made it as clear as
mud. Punch published a year or two
ago an amusing burlesque on the subject,
which was probably of as much value to
most readers as the most serious of the
previous attempts at explanation.
We do not propose to follow the dis
pute through all its ramifications. An
'*• exhaustive” treaties upon it would fill
several volumes. But (lie gist of it is
this: The Dnches of Schleswig and Hol
stein arc subject to the Salic law, which
prohibits a woman, from reigning. In
1400 they were inherited by the King of
Denmark, and they remained in the
hands of his descendants until the time
of Federick VII., who died in 1863;
with him the direct male line terminated,
and the Duchies legally reverted to the
young Duke of Augustenburg. In view
ot tins Contingency, however, a Conference
of the great powers was held in London,
in 185-’, at which it'was resolved for va
rious considerations affecting the peace of
Europe, hut perhaps from deference to
Russia as much as any other, that the
Duchies should remain annexed to the
Danish crown, and should not pass in the
legal order of succession.
When the King died in 1863, however,
it was found that the popular party in
Germany were by no means disposed to
acquiesco in the arrangements of the
diplomatists, llolstcin is. part of the
German Confederation, though governed
by a Danish prince, and there was a gen
eral outcry against its annexation to Den
mark. The tlaniOr grew louder every
day, and at last found formal expression
through the Diet, which ordered the King
of Denmark to take himself out of Hol
stein. On his refusal, “ federal execu
tion” was ordered—that is, the troops of
the Confederation were ordered to turn
him out, and put the Duke of Augusten
burg in possession.
Up to this point Prussia and Austria
had stood aloof. The movement against
Denmark being an
itT but ' as 'soon as the troops began to | so called Confederate States,
move, they announced that if there was arrested and tried before a Military Urn-
leaves no
room for an honorable exit to either party,
nor does it steeni that anything except
Bismnrk’s or the King s death cduld now
avert an appeal to arms. TJie confident
manner in which the Italians are moving
to the attack, leaves very little doubt
that the whole programme is already
made out.
It is, of course, impossible to predict
with confidence the dourse events will
take. Bat it is reasonable to expect that
Austria will be driveh from \ enice and
out of the DuchieS; that, at a later stage
of the conflict, France will intervene and
claim to the left bank of the Rine, per
mitting Prussia to compensate herself
by the absorption of the smaller German
states, and offering Austria the Danubiah
principalities to make up lor losses in
Western and Southern Europe. This
would make the latter less of a German
and more of a Slavonic and Boman power
tiian ever, and would wtrtuafly convert
Prussia into a German empire. But
Russia may prove a disturbing element
in this calculation, and, uuless her domes
tic troubles are serious enough to tie her
hands, would probably lay a strong hand
on the Principalities.

Nelson, C. J. The petition and return

exercise their functions, there is an end
of all law; and the military power be
comes a necessity which is exercised
under the form, and according to the
practice and usage of martial law, as
stated by a distingtiised civilian, “when
foreign invasion or civil war renders it
impossible for courts of law to sit, or to
enforce the execution of their judgments,
it becomes necessary to find some rude
Substitute for them, and to employ for
that purpose the military, which is the

safety and that of society; but no longer/’
The necessity must be shown affirma
tively by the party assuming to exercise
this extraordinary and irregular power
over the lives, liberty and property of the
citizen, whenever called in question. As

ral uf England before a committee of the
House of Commons, in case Of martial
law declared in Ceylon, (and which ex
planation has been approved by the law
officers of the Grown) in answer to a
question put by Sir Robert Peel, he Ob
served, “1 believe the law of England
is, that a Governor like the Crown, has
vested in him the right, where the neces
sity arises of judging of it, and being
responsible for his work afterward, so to
deal with the laws as to supercede them
all, and to proclaim martial law for the
safety of the colony.” And again, in
answer to a question by Mr. Gladstone:
“I say he is responsible just as I would
be responsible for shooting a man on the
king’s highway, who comes to rob me.—
If I mistake my man, and have not, in
the opinion of the judge and jury who
tried me, an answer to give, I am respon
sible.”
Applying these principles to the case
in hand, we think the record fails to
show any power on the part of the mili-
tarv officer over the alleged crime therein
stated, or jurisdiction of the Military
Commission appointed by him to try the
accused. No necessity for the exercise
of this anomalous power is shown. For

court, as at common law. The act of
July, 16, 1862, repeals so much of the
act of 1789 as requires in cases punisha
ble with death that twelve petit jurors
be summoned from the county where the
offense was committed. Under the act
of June 17,1862, no person is allowed to
sit on the jury who was in any degree of
complicity with the rebellion. This is
an act of controlling importance, because
it insures that the trial shall be before a
loyal jury. Mr. Davis cannot be tried
by any of his confederates. His fate will
rest entirely with his political opponents.
The jury must be unanimous, or there
can be no verdict.
This is the invariable rule of the com
mon law, and has existed time whereof
the memory of man runneth not to the
contrary. The presiding judge can rule
authoritatively on questions of evidence
as they may arise in the progress of tfie
trial; but as the jury always, in criminal
cases, return a general verdict of guilty
or not guilty, they are practically Ibe
in<Ws ot the law as well a^.the fact, and
there is no appeal from tneir decision.—
There lias never been any exception to
this principle in the common law, except
that in cases of libel it bad frequently
been determined by the Court of King’s
Bench that the only questiou fot the con
sideration of the jury in criminal prose
cutions for libel was the fact of publica
tion and the tnith of inuendoes, and that
the, court alone Wis competent to deter
mine whether the subject of the publi
cation was or was not a libel. And it
was for this Tiding of Lord Mansfield that
the celebrated JUnius so bitterly attack
ed Lord Mansfield. Lord Camden, the
friend of liberty, differed from Lord
Mansfied, and the matter was finally put
to rest by the memorable act Of Parlia
ment 32, George III, known as Mr. Fox’s
act, which determined the law against
Lord Mansfield’s judgment, by expressly
recognizing the right of the jury to de
termine the facts and law of the case by
a general verdict of guilty or not guilty.
The trial can only end in one of three
ways : 1. By verdict of guilty. 2. By
verdict of not guilty. 3. By the inability
of the jury to agree.
In the event of this third alternative
arising, the first question which will arise
is wlwfther Mr. Davis will be entitled to
bail. The Constitution provides that “in
all criminal prosecutions the accused shall
enjoy the right to a speedy and public
trial.” In determining whether Mr.
Davis, after more than a year’s close im
prisonment, would . be entitled, in the
event of the disagreement of the jury, to
be discharged on bail, would be a question
of legal discretion, to be determined by
tie Judge-. By the celebrated Habeas Cor
pus act of 31, Charles II, it was provided,
sixth, “ that every person committed for
treason or felony, shall if he require it,
the first week, of the next session of Oyer
and Terminer, be indicted in that term
or session, or else admitted to bail, unless
the Kiug’s witnesses cannot be produced;
and if not indicted and tried in the- sec
ond term or session, he shall be dischar
ged from his imprisonment for such impu
ted offense.”
It is not likely onr Judges would take
a less favorable view of the prisoner’s ap-
utmest the prisoner could ask, from that
fact alone, would be the right to be out
of prison on hail.

But though there has been some differ

ed ? His counsel would in all probability
contend that by intendment of law U. S.
courts were holding their regular terms
for the last twelve months in the State of
Virginia, or at least might have done so.
A further provision of the Constitution
might perhaps also, in the event of a dis
agreement of the jury, be invoked in be
half of the prisoner—that one which sets
forth as follows : “ Nor shall any person
after that brilliant but disastrous engage
ment, and the occupation of the country
by the enemy for more than a year after
wards, prevented the proper interment of
our dead.
But shall they still lie unburied, a
silent reproach to us? Shall those whom
we delighted to honor while living, be
less dear to our hearts now, after having
sacrificed all for our common cause?
No! no ! the response comes, eagerly
though mournfully, from the warm sym
pathetic hearts of our Georgia women,
eVer keady for every good work during
tbe last five eventful years, and they will
not deny themselves all that is now left
to us—the Larging and mourning &Rf

What the Leaves Say.—You have
often galed upon the many colored leaves
which fluttered in the aatutnn breeze-,
just ready to fall to the ground. Did
you ever listen to hear them talk to you ?
for talk they do in their sweet language
—telling you of the bright spring time,
when they drink in the gentle dew, and
inhale the balmy ait, and spread oat
their delicate 'fibres to the rays of the
sun, and fashioned by a divine Creator
to forms of beauty, and painted by his
bafid, asumed the pleasant green; and
now, upheld hv his power, they had
borne the pefting ot many a pitiless
stotm, and the scorching heat of the
noonday sun, while many of their com
panions had faded and fallen to the
ground.
And they would tell you that, one by
one, they too should fall. Thus these
fading leaves taik to us of lift’s evening,
and whisper to us to be ready> for ‘we all
do fade as a leaf.' And do they Cot talk
to us of something brighter and better
