Connecticut out of pebt.

Three years ago, when. the Republicans
took the Government in Connecticut, there
was a debt of $81, ,l61 06. A system of
rigid economy was inaugurated, and there
is uow a surplus in the Treasury of $4,000.
This speaks well for the Administration in
Old albany EOeni1g Journal.
That is the truth of a Republican State
administration. For years the Democracy
ruled Connecticut, and in spite of the gen
eral prosperity, managed to run her in debt
to supply the means Of their corruption
They were tumbed out of power, and the
Republicans straightway paid oil the debt.
Just so it has been everywhere. Democrats
make debts and Republicans pay them. In
this city the Democratic administration
made debt of $40, ,OO0 in about four years.
The Republicans were then put in power,
and they paid the debt # entirely. So it
will be in the State administration. The
Democrats have managed by frauds, over
drawing, and downright stealing, to make a
debt of more than 81 100000, which the
Republicans, at the last session of the Leg
islAture, made provision TO pay. In the
Federal Administration it has been still
worse. The Democrats took the Gov
ernment at the beginning of the last Ad-
ministration, with a surplus of 500, 900, 600,
and with no war, no trouble at home or
abroad, that would add anything material
to the expenses, used up all the surplus,
spent $50, 600, 600 year. and have gone out
leaving a debt of $4,000, 900 still to pay,
and with every department of the Govern
mont so deranged by thefts, treason, and
corruption, that the new Administration
hardly knows where to begin to put things
to rights, and learn what there is to be paid.

As the stranger came down, tho ST. Law

Condition of the Regular Army.

The regular army of the United States
at this date consists Of about twenty. 1.-two
thousand men. OF the old regular regi.
ments, many have been deciminated by
various causes. Over two thousand five
hundred men were in Texas, of whom
hardly one half have returned or are avail.
able for active duty in the loyal States.
Of those in New Mexico aud California
several companies have suffered severely
from desertion, owing to the treachery OF
their officers. 1t is estimated that a vari-
ETY. OF causes diminished the old army
which consisted of some eighteen thou
sand rank and file, to fourteen thousand I;
leaving a deficiency Of four thousand.

The Right of the President to Suspend
the Habeas Corpus.
OPINION OF ATTORNEY GENERAL BATES.

OPINION OF ATTORNEY GENERAL BATES.
Judge Bates, in obedience to resolu-
ton Of the House Of Representatives,
adopted on the l2th inst, has sent to the
House a copy Of his letter to the President
written on the 5th inst, expressing his
opinion Of the right OF the President to
suspend the writ OF habeas corpus. The
questions he was required to answer were
First In the present time OF a great
and dangerous insurreclion, has the Pres
ident the discretionary power to cause to
be arrested and held in custody, persons
known to have criminal intercourse with
the insurgents, or persons against whom
there is probable cause OF suspicion Of
such criminal completely?
Second. In such cases Of arrest is the
President justified in refusing TO obey a
writ Of hsbeas corpus issued by court
or Judge, requiring him or his agent to
produce the body OF prisoner, and show
the csuse OF his capture and detention, to
be adjusted or disposed of by such. court
or Judge? .
To the first question Judge Bates, after
a preliminary argument upon the relative
powers OF the several branches Of the
Government, says:
l am clearly of the opinion that, in a
time like the present, when the very ex.
is.once Of The nation is assailed by great
and dangerous insurrec,ion, the President
has lawful discretionary power 10 arrest
and hold incuslody persons known to have
criminal intercourse with insurgents, or
persons against whom there is probable
cause for suspicion OF criminal completely.
After proceeding to prove this position,
as TO the second question, he saws:
"Having assumed in answering the rst
question, that the President has legal dis
crelionary powers, &C., il might seem un.
necessary to 60 into any prolonged argu.
ment, to prove that in such case The
President is fully justified in refusing TO
obey wri: Of habeas corpu," &c.
He concludes: "Not doubling the
power Of the President to capture and
hold force upon insurgents against the
government, and to arrest and imprison
their accompices, never thought Of first
suspending the writ OF habeas corpus, any
more than l thought Of first suspending
the writ OF replevin, before seizing arms
and munitions destined for the enemy.
The power to do these things Is in the
President, placed there by the Constitu-
ton and statute law as a sacred trust, to
be used by him, IN his discretion. in The
performance of his great frat duty-to
preserve, protect and defend the Consii.
IuIion-'.and for any breach Of trust, he is
responsible before the high court OF i'm.
Peaehment and before no other human
tribunal"

Prince Napoleon.

We copy from the New York Herald,
the following items in regard To Prince
Napoleon and the Princess Clotilde, now
on visit TO this country:
"Prince Napoleon, first cousin of the
French Emperor, and the Princess Clio
tide, daughter Of the Gaianf nome Victor
Emanuel, King Of Itdy-lhese are such
arrivals as it does not fall TO our lot 10
chronicle every day; the event has no
-'political ignifcance"- e"-being mainly for
the benefit Of the Princess health--it is
yet one that in ordinary times would have
made great sensation in the city.
Prince Napoleon, ('Plon' 'P!onv as
everybody knows, is a son of Jerome Ma
poleon by his second wife, and stands,
next after the Prince Imperial, heir to The
throne of the Napoeons. He is about
forty years OF age--stoutisb, about FIVE
feet eight, not particularly Napoleonic in
physiognomy, and as we saw him yester-
day afternoon on Broadway in summer
suit Of linen and starw hat, looked like
any ordinary bourgeois gentilAomme.
His Princess Clotilde Marie Therese
LOUISE SlOlllue,lO Wrlle the name ln lull,
is daughter of Victor Emanuel, and il
will be remembered that tho union, q
couple Of years ago, was looked upon as
a political marriage The alliance wa:
determined upon by an intimate under,
standing between the two Sovere;gns, and
the reciprocal interests of france and
Piedmont, and the negotiations to bring il
about were delayed more than year.
She was born in lS43 and is consequently
at present in her nineteenth year, and is
petite. OF Italian complexion and features,
and very prepossessing and unassumng
in manners. With the Princess. as her
first maid Of honor, IS the Duchess
d'Abrantes, also quite young and very
pretty.
