Prussia is clearly de- war, and the courts cf justice broken up and dispersed, or are disabled, from the disorder and anarchy, to it was incomprehensible. The efforts of 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.

Penitentiary— Habeas Corpus. Amasa J. Parker for the petitionor; Wnv. A. Dart, District Attorney, for the Government. Nelson, C. J. The petition and return to the writ of habeas- corpus issued in this case, presents the following facts: The prisoner is a citizen, and by occu pation a farmer, in the Lexington District, of the State of South Carolina, some - iii U .v...v U . »-- eighty years of age, and never engaged imarK ueiug »u 'e^cnViaily ‘ popular j in°the military service or connected with . they would have nothing to say to the army of the United States, or of tire . * .•* _ _ i 4% ’ St&tCS. 1V&5 been prevalence of 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 only remaining force in the community; and while the law is silenced by the noise of arms, the rulers of the armed force must punish as equitably as they can those crimes which threaten their ofrn 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 LAjiuuitf D)-«.ne iruuge iiavOCUte uene- 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.

The serious ouestion would u and LaueoWg to Prussia and Aus- ] of hostilities «d k f * In Uew 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 ence of opinion on the point, it may be 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 dead.

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.'
