A TYLER CoNvENTIoN.-The Bay State Demo-
Graf publishes curious missive, which purports to
have been issued from the Tyler Democratic State
Central Committee Of Massachusetts,. 1t is said TO
be addressed to the Postmasters throughout the
State, and it requests the persons addressed TO
turn letter as early as possible to the Secretary of
the said Committee, mr. Roberts,) informing him
of the name Of such person or persons from their
respective towns pledge themselves TO be present
and represent the town in the State Convention, in
Faneuil Hall, the 25lh instant. This method of
dr awiug order on the Postmaslers, for delegate
or more from each town, withou, the suggestion of
any primary meetings for the appointment OF dele
gates, is a summary way Of getting up State Con-
ven,ion for concentrating the public sentiment The
object Of the State Convention is TO appoint dele
gates 10 the National Tyler Convention TO be held
in Baltimore on the 9th Of May next.

Judge STORY opened the United States Circuit
Court at Providence, Rhode Island on Tuesday,
when the case of Mrs. LUTHER, (wile Of Martin
Luther,) rs Borden and others, for assault and bat
terry, was called. The alleged assault consisted in
the defendants entering the plaintiff sleeping room
armed in pursuit of her husband, during the exist
ence Of martial law, by order Of the commanding
officer, in 1912. The counsel for Mrs. LUTHER
tMr. HALLET) took exception TO the plea of justi-
fcaton, and denied the authority of the admins
traton Of the State which declared martial law.
He contended that, though state Of war did exist
at Chepachet and on Federal Hill. it did not exist
any further; and that the right to de clare martial
law was right belonging to military leader not
TO the Legislature of State.
To these objections (says the Chroncle) Judge
SToRY replied that the Court was ready to give its
decision upon them at once, in the commencement
of the trial. 1t would not entertain the opinion
that single man might do any act-proclaim mar
tia law-which the Government under which he
acted had no right to do. A military commander
had no power to proclaim martial law The de-
claration of martial law legislative poUer, and
belonged only to the sovereign power in State.
1t declared the whole State in a condition Of war;
and gave powers TO private soldiers 10 arrest
and detain men without any command from supe-
Tior officer.
Mr.. II. nevertheless concluded to go on with the
case, which he rested upon the two points. whether
the entering Of the house was lawful under the law
martial; and, second, whether il was done in lawful
manner. The Jury could not agree on verdict
