Baltimore Habeas Corpus Case.

The hobeas corpus case, the history OF
which we gave on Friday, was ended on
the 2Sth inst. by the decision of Chief JUS
tice TANEY. 1t was received by those as
sembled, many of whom were members of
the bar, with exclamations of appreciation,
such as, "Thank God for such a man -
"God grant that be may live many years to
protect u.s." and many similar remarks.
The decision is as follows:
So far as my power goes. the Court feels it's
duty to enforce its protest against the con-
tempt committed. The military is subject to
civil jurisdiction, and will briefly set down
the course 1 intend to take. l ordered the at
tachment yesterday. because, upon the face of
the return, the detention of the prisoner was
unlawful, upon two grounds: First, the Pres.
ident, under the Constitution and laws of the
United States, cannot suspend the privilege of
the writ of habeas corpus, or authorize any
military officer to do so. Second, the military
officer has no right to arrest and detain per-
son subject to the rules of articles of war, for
an offence against the laws of the Union, ex.
cept in and by the Judicial authority or sub
ject to its control; and if the party is arrested
by the military, it is the duty of the officer to
deliver him over Immediately to the civil au-
forbore yesterday to state orally the pro-
visions of the Constitution which make these
principles the fundamental laws of the Union,
because oral statement might be misunderstood
in some portions of it, and l shall therefore
put my opinion in writing, and file it with the
Clerk in the Office of the Court in the course of
this week.
In relation to the present return the Court
said: With relation to the present return,
would state that the Marshal has the power to
summon the posse conaitatus, and take forcible
possession of the party attached, but as the
force is so large at the Fort at this time the
effort would be useless.
That being the case the Court has no power
to direct the forcible taking of the party, but
only has power under the laws of the land,
when the party is brought before it, to force
the liberation Of the prisoner by an order of
the Court, imposing fine and Imprisonment up
on the officer making the arrest; but if by a
superior force the party manages to keep out
of the reach Of the Court, it can but enter it's
protest against it, will reduce to writing my
opinion in the case, and having done so shall
report to the President in person the facts, and
lay before him the official documents in the
case. I shall call on him to perform his Con.
stitutional duty, and urge upon him the abso-
lutte authority, proper recognition of the Con-
stitution and laws.

SB- Congress adjourned on the fourth
Of March, and made nc base surrender
of the interests Of freedom, made no igno.
minious compromise with treason. In.
mense as has been the pressure brought
TO bear upon them, the Republican Rep.
resentatives have stood firm. 4 few
have succumbed, and parleyed, and made
terms with The would be destroyers Of the
Government, the opponents Of the ma
jority principle, but they have only had
the effect to show the undauned bearing
of the rest Of the noble band. Cheered
by the unfaltering demeanor and calm
words Of their chosen chief, they have
refused to depart from the noble position
they took at Chicago. refused to give up
the great principles upon which they
went before the country last fall, and tri-
umphed. All honor to them. They
have made glad the hearts Of the friends
of freedom throughout the world. They
have preserved the Constitution from de-
Element, secured the government in the
path marked out by the fathers, and
showed spirit sufficient 10 cope with
traitors, however powerful. Millions
have waited anxiously, fearing that they
would give way, and sink US in ignomy
and disgrace. Those millions now breathe
free, gratifed beyond measure that they
have not been betrayed, that manhood
did not depart from their servants, and
that freedom is still the declared object
Of the government Under the same
Old Constitution, under the same old
flag, Republicans are determined TO trans
NIT the Union, without curtaime mt, but
with increase, to posterity. They will
have GoyERNMENT-a government will
ing and capable Of protecting itself-of
enforcing it's laws-a Government upon
the principles of the Declaration of In
dependence-a Government intended to
dif'use the blessings of freedom, TO up
hold human rights. That is what ace
think the conduct and words of Mr.. LIN
COLIN and the Republican Representatives
indicate. That is what we think their
actions hereafter will insure.

The Presidents Inaugural.

TS- No state paper that has ever beer
issued will have moro readers, will b.
more closely scanned, or more thorough
l. studied, than the Inaugural Address
of Mr.. LINCOLN. For that reason, as in
tie imperfectness of the Geographic re.
por, and the hurry of issuing it large
number Of omissions and errors occurred
in our report last week, we have concIu-
ded to republish it this week in a cor
rected form. 1t will bear reading more
than once, for many of its sentences are
axioms, Git to be treasured up and often
repeated. There is sound wisdom and
lofty patriotism breathing through it, and
lindliness of feeling towards each Sec
lion, and all the people, of the country,
that shows how clear is the head, and
bow excellent the heart, of lis author.
And vet il lacks nothing Of firmness.
Declaring, and proving BY the clearest
argument, that the right of secession
does not exist. he plainly declares his de-
termination not to recognize the claim.
Registering an oath to support the Con-
situation and execute the laws, he dis
,inctly declares his intention of fulfilling
il at all hazards. And yet he entreats
with eloquence and pathos that the dis
unionists may pause and calmly consider
the magnitude of the evil they are at
tempting. lie looks upon them, and
speaks to them, as brothers. Beautiful
", even sublimely, he says: 1--WE must
not be enemies Though passion may
have strained, it must not break, our
bonds Of affection. The mystic chords
OF memory, stretching from every battle
field and patriots grave to every living
heart and hearthstone all over this broad
land, will yet swell the chorus Of the
Union, when again touched, as surely
they will be, by the better angels Of our
nature" There is tenderness about
this that speaks Of kind and honest
heart, and while Mr.. LINCOLN will firmly
carry out the requirements OF bis oath,
and protect The government against its
enemies, it gives assurance that he will
do nothing in spirit of yindicliveness
or revenge. In the hands Of the trait

IN Excellent Appointment.

Eg Hon. john A. KAssoS, Of this

as First Assistant Postmaster General.
Mr. kAssoN, as Chairman of the Repub-
lican State Central Committee Of this
State, made most favorable name for
himself by the great ability and untiring
industry which he manifested in the con-
duct OF tie State canvasses of 1858 and
1859. lie was delegate 10 the Chicago
convention, and as one of the Committee
TN Platform especially distinguished him
self. HORACE GREELEY said that TO Mr..
MASON, more than TO any other man,
was the successful labor Of the commit
tee due. In the last canvass he did greai
service upon the stump, and our friends
no doubt recolect the mastery speech
which he made at the mass meeting in
this place. He possesses the proper bus
mess talent for the position, and will dc
Iowa credit in the performance of its du-
ties. Personally, We are much gratifed
AZ ,llis appointment.

hundred and one. and the opposition forty

have yet to elect. Should the three
New England States return delegations
of the present political complexion. the
Republicans will then hayo one hundred
and ten members, and the Opposition
ninety five This will give them clear
majority of fifteen. So tha., should the
Secessionists not coma. back, the Repu5-
lcans will have full control OF both
Houses, 10 the great benefit, we appro
bend, OF the country at large.

That every right which the South has
ever bad she will possess as thoroughly
under Republican rule MS under Presi-
dents from her own section, and that out
of the Union she must suffer thousand
times more from the ills of which she
complains, than in it. We have faith
that these considerations will in time once
more unite us in bonds Of Union, and
make us united and happy people.

Ey- Democrats are just now prone to
assert that Republicanism would be re-
pudiated by immense majorities where it
WAS strongest, could an expression of
opinion be obtained. Well, such an ex-
preston of opinion has been obtained in
New York. and instead of Reputation Of
Republican men and principles, we find
. thorough endorsement. Town cleo
tons have recently been held in most
parts Of that State, and Of 239 towns the
Republicans have carried III and the
Opposition 63, whereas last year, with
all the energy of Presidential canvass
the Republicans carried l67 and the OPP
position II. The result under the cir.
cumstances is both gratifying and unex'
pected.

The Inauguration passed Off very
pleasantly. The programme adopted by
the Senate Committee was fully carried
out and gave great satisfaction. The
diplomatic corps were present in full
force, and in splendid dress Mason and
Hunter were the only Senators absent
The military were arranged admirably by
Gen. Scott, so as to be prepared for any
disturbance, but nothing occurred TO call
them into movement. The opening SEN
tence Of the inaugural was loudly ap-
plauded, as was every sentence relative
to the Union and the enforcement of the
laws. Mr.. Douglass expressed himself
much pleased with the address, and Re-
publicans and conservatives in general
are in raptures. Judge fancy administer
ed the oath, and was the first to shake
hands with Mr.. Lincoln after the ceremo-
MES. The crowd about the capitol and
along the route Of the procession was
immense, and the enthusiasm great. The
inauguration ball was the finest affair
ever seen in Washington. Mr.. Dougla.
appeared on the floor with Mrs. Lincoln
as his partner.
