YYMJXESDIY MOBNIS6, JANUARY 2
Major J. T. n. Allen.
YVe have liad submitted to our inrpcc
tion several letter? addre?-. 1 to Major Al
leiij trorn some of the most distinguished
iiieij in the South, highly complimentary to
his conduct as Treasurer of the late ill
starred .National Express Company, and
entirely exonerating him from any blame
for their lamentable failure. One of the
letters is from tho distinguished and be
loved commander of our Western arm;;
during the late war, a gentleman whose
private life is as bright with the virtues
which adorn the true rnau, a.-i his military
career is brilliant with the record of a
hundred well fought battles.
Gen. Johnson, in a letter to our friend,
Major Allen, dated November 23d, 1566,
says ; “I believe no one could have been
more valuable as Treasurer than you have
been, from the fidelity and honesty with
which you discharged your duty, and your
thorough knowledge of tho business you
had to perform. Whatever may be said of
the cause which produced the breaking
up of the Company, none of them can be
laid at your door.”
This is a splendid testimonial to the
worth and faithfulness of Major Allen, and
one which we know he richly deserves.
During the latter part of the war Major
Alien was a companion in arms with the
writer. We slept around the same camp
fires and -hared in the hard fare of the same
me s. Vi e knew him well and intimately,
ari l with pleasure bear testimony to bis
great purity of character and splendid busi
ness habits and qualifications.
Funeral of Bishop Klllott.
The funeral of the beloved and venerated
Bishop Elliott took place on Christmas
Bay. Tho service commenced at eleven
o'clock at Christ Church, and long before
the hour named the church was filled to
repletion. The altar, and the whole in
terior of the church, was tastefully draped
in mourning. The Georgia Historical So
ciety, of which tho Bishop was President,
wearing their badge and tho insignia of
mourning, were in attendance in large
numbers. After the service in the church,
the procession was formed, preceded by
several of the ministers of tho Episcopal
church.
The funeral was the largest that has
probably ever been seen in this city, and
during its passage to the cemetery the
people thronged tho sidewalks and
stood in mournful silence. The negroes,
in the midst of their holiday enjoyments,
ceased their sports and fell into tho line in
immense numbers, following that man who
in life they loved, and whose memory they
revered, to bis last resting place- Thou
sands of people wended their way to the
cemetery, where the last sad rites were
pel-formed, of which a pleasing incident
Wa the beautiful chant by a number
of young gentlemen. Thus were the last
honors rendered to one whose los3 to
the churchj to the country and society, can
never be supplied, and whose memory will
cmain dear to all who came within the
sphere of his acquaintance.— Savannah

The Supreme Court—Shall H be
Abolished.
Since the delivery of the decision of the
Supreme Court in the case of Milligan and
Bowles, against the right of military cotn
mis-iotm to try civilians, and tho publicity
given to the fact that the test oath has
been decided to ho unconstitutional by tho
game tribunal, the ultra Radical press
have opened a most hitter, virulent and
vindictive attack upon the members of the
Court who have concurred in these do"
cisions, nml in their mad folly have even
gone to far as to demand the abolishment
of tho Court entirely. It would seem that
they arc determined that nothing shall
stand between them and the full consum
mation of their revenge upon the people
of tho South.
Forney, in a recent letter to his paper,
the JV-.u, says : “The rapid tendency of
the Supreme Court to the disloyal side 01
great questions is creating a strong feel
ing of distrust in regard to that institu
tion. ” He is also seriously exercised with
tho fear that the Court will decide any
legislation “territorializing” tho Southern
States unconstituional and void, lie fears
that the President is cn rapport with the
Court on this question, and sounds the
toezin of alarm. Even the very able and
conclusive speech ’of the lion. ltcverdv
Johnson, in the Seuatc a few days since,
against the power of Congress to dethrone
tho State Governments at the South, ho
cling 3 to have been inspired by the
knowledge of tho position of tho Court
upon the question. He says :
'‘Although some of the defenders of the
majority of the Supreme Court stoutly
deny that auoli is the fact, there can be no
doubt that the President relies upon that
majority to decide in his favor when ho
tid.i-.iv against his own plan of giving
republican Governments to the ten seced
ed States.
“Hevordy Johnson’s speech on Wednes
day last, in which he took very blod issue
will) the plan to give republican Govern
ments m the old despotic slave communi
ties. and indulged in the most revolution
ary language, is regarded hero as the fore
runner of precisely such a decision.”
YVe have uo doubt hut that the able
lawyers who compose the present Court, or
n majority of them at least; do coincide
with the views of the Maryland Senator
upon this question. But that they should
agree with Revordy Johnson is not at all
surprising. All sensible men not mad
with passion, whether they have been
educated as lawyers or not, must deny tho
right of Congress to destroy any part of
tho Government. YYhen. however, tuen
have devoted their whole lives to the study
of our laws and complex system of Gov
ernment, it would he most remarkable if
they should come to any other conclusion.
YVe hope the Radical fears of the position
of the majority of tho Court are well found
ed.
The Recent Decision of the Supreme
Court.
The Richmond Examiner, of the 24th.
in noticing the recent action of tho Su
preme Court of the United States, bearing
upon the rights of a citizen of that State,
says-. “Step by step wo are making oui
way slowly back to tho old familiar foot
prints of constitutional liberty and law.
Last year military commissions followed
swift one upon the other. Mr. Stanton
and Mr. Holt had little idea then of sur
rendering up the gigantic power they hac
acquired during the war. The President
with all his generous instincts for liberty,
allowed them to have their own way. am
accordingly, we beheld men tried, convict
e i, punished, sometimes by death, by tri
bunale which, possessing no legal sanctior
whatever, seemed inspired solely by ;
thirst for human blood. Almost at the las;
moment, oneof the intended victims of thi
hateful tyranuy was snatAed from tin
grasp of the military commission, and tin
case carried by a writ of hiibeu corpus be
fore tho United States Supreme Court
This august tribunal heard the case an,
decided it at its last term. It will ever b
a memorable cause for the matchless argu
rnont of Judge Black, delivered on the oe
casion, but far more by reason of the irn
portaut principles which wore determined
aud as marking an epoch in the history c
American liberty. By the release of Mil
ligan a blow was struck at the whole strut
ture of tyranny, which Messrs. Holt an
Stanton had so ingeniously built up. Froi
that time the President exhibited a marke
repugnance to military commissions, an
he has seized the occasion of the form:
publication of the decision to set thei
aside in the very first instanoe brought t
his attention.
in tiiis dieision we behold a cheering ir
dicatiou that the Supreme Court will nc
cower before the breath of the majority i
the Northern States, but will procee
calmy, impartially and fearlessly to ac
minister the Constitution and laws, i
majority of this court were appointed h
Mr. Lincoln, but the influence of the jud
cial office have lifted them Tar above th
passions of party. lor some time past w
have looked with hope to this branch <
the government for .the rescue of a di:
honored Constitution. The power of th
tribunal over public opinion lias ever bet
and must continue very great. Tho Rad
j cals have seen this, and have vainly sought
I to purchase the court by intimating a
readiness to bestow upon it the patronage
which, according to our form of govern
ment, rightfully belongs to the President.
In this decision .and the forthcoming de
cree setting aside the test oath for attor
neys, the revolutionary demagogues of the
hour will read the failure of their schemes.
The court will despise th Ir bribes and
their threats in its calm discharge of duty.
Now that the civil tribunals are rein
stated in ail their just rigor and integrity,
it behooves them to -how a jealous regard
for the law, a disposition to examine and
■ try fairly all ca~ -of crime and a dc-ter-
I mination to punish ail offenders, regard
| lews of color or station. Every man must
be made to feel and to know that he is
under the law, and no matter how ho
violates it, whether by lawless violence or
by interference with the courts of justice,
under pretense of a military jurisdiction,
he should he brought to condign punL-.li
ment.”

ernment. Then came the action of tl-o

can form of Government.

of a National Congress previously issued.

bills, to Planters and others, are filled at a

COTTON. —The decline in gold, the un
favorable tone of the Liverpool aud New
York markets and the holidays have oper
ated adversely on the market to such an
extent that the market has to be termed
exceedingly dull. The transactions of the

a dull and declining market. Holders have
confidence, however, in a rally of the
staple, a id hen :c they ari not disposed to
conform to tho requirements of buyers in
selling at what they consider low rates.
Under this impression cotton has been
kept off the market, awaiting better prices.

to 2 cents. Tho following exhibits tho
