The most uDkindest cut Of all the Southern
Rebels bave yet received appears in another col
umn of this mornings paper. 1t is known to
most people that there is kept for public refer
ence in tue Police Department collection Of
photographs Of distinguished thieve,, the whole
being known as the "Roeues' Gallery" Among
these pictures were placed lat Winter the like.
nesses OF Davis, Cobb, Toucey, Floyd aud half q
dozen others who had exercised their propensity
for accumulation by stealing the Government
property. The "rogues' among whose miniatures
these photographs were placed bore the infection
Of their presence for some time in silence. Their
cOmpeers observed their growing melancholy but
knew not the reason. At last even depravity could
keep them callous no longer. A score and half
OF the most noted thieves Of the metropolis
signed serious and almost touching remembrance,
addressed to the Board Of Metropolitan Police,
protesting against the indignity. They say it is
hard enough TO endure the scom of the world
and the restraints of bolts and bars, but of this
they would not complain; when, however, they
are put into the company Of such men as those
whose names they repeat. they feel that, though
thieves, they are still men, and they cry out for
mercy

Judge Belts, in the United States District
Court, yesterday made decision concerning q
writ of habeas corpus, which materially differs
from that given by Chief Justice fancy in the
Baltimore case. 1t will be remembered that one
McQuillan was some time ago arrested and taken
to Fort Lafayette, the charge being that he was
a traitor. A writ Of habeas corpus was ad-
dressed TO the lieutenant commanding, directing
him to produce the body Of the said MeQuiilan.
The officer refused, but gave no authority for
his refusal He was directed to amend his re-
turn supplying this omission. This he did, stat
ing that he acted by the orders of Gen. Scott.
The counsel for the prisoner claimed that this
return was insufficient and that the prisoner
should be brought here. The Judge declined to
take any action on the writ Tbe report of the
Gaze viii be found under our law head.
