The Free State lnen now ing III prison on
charges of treason in Kansas are even further out
Of reach of judicial assistance than we stated yes
terday morning. Kalne's case GA Howard. 1879,
on the authority of which Mr.. Justice CARTS pro-
fcsses to have denied the writ of Habe3s Corpus.
likewise decides very distinctly that the Supreme
Court itself can issue such writ only in the exercise
or in aid of its limited appellate jurisdiction Tex
cept perhaps in some few cases OF which II has
original cognzance). 1t cannot entertain such
proceeding de moro, unless at least, the cause IN
relation to which it is sought be before il in some
shape or other.
If this be sO-and no one acquainted with the
history Of the Supreme Court can doubt that such
will BE- the ruling in the present case-not only Is
all redress by the Judiciary postponed TIL the first
of December. but even then the only authority
supposed to be competent to afford it cannot act.
unless on appeal from previous application to the
Territorial Court To make such application in
the present condition of Kansas would be madness.
No LAWYER with o brief for the purpose IN his
pocket could reach the august presence OF Chief
Justice Lecompte alive. Nor could any one now
in the Territory present himself in Court to argue
the question with safety to life or limb. thus are
not only these poor traitors" beyond hope OF
redress till after the Fourth Of March, but they are
beyond hope of putting their case in shape where
redress could possibly be afforded.
How great pity that our ancestors who passed
the Judiciary Act of 1889, could not have foreseen
| the Government to which we were to become re-
duced, and have provided safeguards against a
species of tyranny which makes even the represen-
tatiyes of Justice it's willing tools, and which
should make every true citizen devote his utmost
energies to the election OF man who alone has the
will or the character to treat murder, robbery and
arson, committed in behalf of Slavery extern
sion, as they deserve 10 be treated.

Things certainly do not look altogether as well

his intention Of hitting Uncle Sam over the head on
the Fourth of March next. with of his nuiner-
Gus presentation canes, as he did Senator Sumner.
This would undoubtedly have the effect of saving
the Union; but the difficulty will be to catch the
old gentleman ut unawares after this fair warning.
We cannot commend the prudence of this heroic
man in thus putting hi, adversary on his guard.

soon have forgotten the success of that strategic

from defeats, but from victories as we'll Why
should he tell US beforehand that it is his advice
that the people of the South should on that day

but why endanger its success by blabbing OF it in
advance? We know that our hero il red of hand
aud fleet OF foot, as becomes warrior and we
should grieve to have to believe that he is not also
sage in council.
We are far from denying that the Empire of
South Carolina would be able 10 do all this and

states, if it be united and firm. There are some
Indications however connected with the reelection

there were good many that stayed at home on elec.

This year, the coalition of the Pro-Slavery DEM

the sort ironically termed Straight" were noml-

ran the same candidates for the House, and had
joint tickets for the Senate, except where it
was supposed they could do better by divid
ing-a plurality not eecting TO the Senate.
For Congress, plurality does elect, 40 it was
necessary to run the same candidates, and they did
it. No effort has been spared, no Custom House

cans; but all to no purpose. Our advces are yet
vague and crude, being founded on telegraphic re-
ports Which are partly guess-work; bat there can
be no doubt of a sweeping victory for Freedom aud
Fremont. Senator Hamlin, who only gave I'D the

with Republican ascendency in the Congressional
