years should be enlisted without the consent

subsequent Law, passed in 1914, authorized the
enlistment Of any person within the ages Of
eighteen and fifty, repeating the clause Of the
previous act regarding the consent of parents

the duty Of the Secretary of War to order the
discharge of any soldier enlisted under twenty

THE LAW GOVERNING THE RECRUITING SER
yIcE.-We publish in another column very
interesting communication with reference to
the recruiting service of the United States
army and the law as regards the enlistment Of
minors. This is very important question,
and the jurisdiction of the courts ID reference
to it should be distinctly understood. This
branch of the public service has been, from
time to time, subjected to much difficulty with
regard to what manner of persons can be
legally enlisted in the army, and in no cases,
perhaps, more than those relative to minors
enlisting without the consent of their parents
and guardians. Onr State courts have been re-
peatedly appealed to to discharge recruits
under age, and in two cases. at least, decisions
were rendered in this city, by Judges Hilton
and Sutherland, to the effect that State court
had no jurisdiction in the matter, but that the
authority to discharge minor rested solely
with the Secretary of War, under the act of
Congress. This opinion is fortified by those of
Attorney Generals Crittenden and Cushing, and
is clearly the right view of the question. The
recruiting service is established under law Of
Congress; it is entirely matter Of federal ju-
risdiction, and if our State courts were per.
mitted to discharge on habeas corpus, or by
any other process, persons enlisted in the ser
vice. endless confusion would be the result

LoyEJoY's SPEECH AND THE SrEAKER.-Decid-
eddy the leading light of the republican party
in the House is Lovejoy, of Illinois, whose
speech, delivered in committee ON Thursday
last will, when it comes to be laid before the
country in full, create as much excitement as
the Helper book or Stewards brutal and bloody
Rochester manifesto. Mr.. Lovejoy is the re-
preventative man of the black republican party
the House, as John Brown was at Harper's
Ferry. Lovejoy is so recognized by the Euen-
ng Post (the Mandatory notice of him by that
ournal will be found elsewhere) and by the
philosophers of the Tribune, who recommend
that two millions of copies of the speech should
be circulated at once. There is the greatest
curiosity to read the speech and, as usual, the
Washington Globe has kept it back The New
York papers printed as much of it as could be
sent over one wire, the other eight being down.
and promptly laid it before the country the
next morning; but the Globe has no word of
the debate of Thursday in Fridays or Satur-
days impression. This is no new thing, and,
considering that each Congress pays as much
N uuUOIcU tuOubduO uOll0IS PROM Oh re-
porting and printing the debates alone, we
should think that the Globe might manage to
get out its report within two days after de-
bate has taken place. Otherwise, it would be
better for the House to trust to the New York
papers.
So far as the new leader of the republican
party is concerned, there seems to be no half
way business. He endorses the Helper book
fully and explicitly. He is one of the sixty
members who voted for Blake's Garrisonian
resolution. He openly proclaims himself to be
an insurrectionist, a nigger-stealer and traitor
in intention. All this is declared openly on
the floor Of the House, and it is accepted as the
true doctrine of the party by the abolition
members and their presses. The black repub-
licans are beginning to show their hands in
good earnest, and it is high time that the con-
sentative men Of the country we're aroused to
the dangers that menace it from the mad fanati-
cism of such men as Lovejoy and his compa-
triots The real objects of the party are fore
Swallowed very clearly in such speeches as that

Ing In bis own State, and to obtain the Presi-
dency through bargaining combinations and
cheating transactions with his fellows. The
consequence Is that the democratic party which
Is to meet in representation at Charleston is as
piebald as Joseph's coat, while the fanatic
madness of the black republican leaders has
attained some degree Of responsibility from
the fact that it dwells upon something more
broad than the whims Of any particular State.

as is compatible with safety, the Buchanan con-
servatves, the Douglas temporisers, the Hun

government as something to be administered

The whole country waits to see if the men thus

from the States bordering on the central line,
where men know the value Of the North and

active. With such man, and with broad ma
tional principles on his banner, the whole
South, all the Central States, and many of the
commercial ones in the North, can be carried
for the preservation Of the constitution and the
Union If such a one ia not nominated at
Charleston, we shall have seen the last of the
democratic party, and the whole country must
rally round the Baltimore Convention, and Sc
cure from it the nomination of conservative
man to lead the reaction that has already COM
menced in the North against the revolutionary
and destructive tendencies of the abolitionized
black republican leaders.

eral news can be afforded for 81, and an unpre-
tending local journal should needs cost so per
cent. more, is problem too abstruse for their
solution. The idea seems never to have occur
ed to them, that the type-settng cost no more
in proportion for an edition Of 100000, than
Tor an edition Of single 1000, which is Just
about the disparity between the editions of the
respective journals. Besides, the subscription
is matter OF secondary consequence with the
metropolitan journals, the price being fixed
scarcely above the cost of paper, which brings
them in successful competition with the circu-
latiOn Of the country papers, aud ensures sheir
large circulation, while their revenue is derived
from the advertising induced by this large cir
culation, and which 10 the case of the Tribune

sometimes even with adverse Determinations,
such as party madness imposes, American in-

within a comparatively short time, in the manu-
facture of American Cutlery. 1t is but few
years since we were wholly dependant upon
British workshops for almost everything Of any
merit 10 this line; while now, the Nangatuck

pered results Of their mechsnicism, into every

prouder triumph of American skill than the
