The BIeekade at New OrIenns.


Our Southern brethren" are philosophic
lace; they are to man optimists. Read
the following from the New Orleans Delta of
June l6; ''..- ''
Flour has fallen 81 so per barrel, and fresh
beef is lower than il has been for ten years.
thanks to Lincoln's blockade. Keep 1t up
for some time, most noble Gorilla. 1t is lust
what we residents and can't get. aways have
been wanting for some years. The effects of
this blockade have been beneficial in many
respects. We rejoice, especially, in its oper-
alton, upon those heartless Spectators who
sought to forestall our market by buying up
all the provisions in the city, and holding
them for big rise. The villainy was laid
before the Governor, and steps were about
TO be taken to correct it, by summary action
on the part of the authorities or the people,
when, most seasonably and kindly, Poore
came with the Brooklyn and saved us all this
trouble, by blockading the mouth of the
river, Thus, all export being stopped, both
up and down the river, we have an abund-
ance of everything that is produced between
the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers and the Gulf
of Mexico.
The effect on Texas cattle is particularly
interesting. Large droves of these cattle
have hitherto been driven Northward into
Missouri and even into Illinois; and even
those which were sent hither had to compete
with the better conditioned cattle of the
West. But now. having no other market,
and being without competition, the Texans
are all driving their cattle to New Orleans,
not only supplying this market at very rea-
sonable retes-cheaper, in fact, than the rates
in the Northern cities = but furnishing
enough to send to the river towns, as far as
Memphis. No less than two hundred head
of these cattle were sent in that direction a
few days ago. 1t is established now, beyond
all doubt or uncertainty, that the yield of
corn will far exceed the demands of the
South, and new -four will be in the market
in a few days in the greatest abundance. We
may have less hog meat than we have hitherto
had but whether that will prove loss or
! inconvenience remaius to be proved.

Important Legal Decision CONCERNING
Volunteers.

Judge f. P. Brooks, of Elmira, presiding
in the Sixth Judicial District of this State,
has recently given an official opinion to the
effect that person under the age of twenty
one years may not be enlisted directly into
the army of the United States without the
written consent of his parent, or guardian or
master but that, if he belongs to the militia
of the State, he 10 bouud to do military duty
in the service of the United States, ii he shall
be mustered therein pursuance of call of the
President.
Some three weeks since Mr.. A. w. Dresser
obtained a writ of hdbsaS corpus against
Lieutenant Colonel Clarence A. Seward, of
the Nineteenth Regiment of New York vol
unteers, on petition setting forth that Jas.
W. Dresser, a minor, was restrained of his
liberty; he enlisted as a volunteer in COM
pany Of militia forming a part of that regi-
ment, without the consent of the petitioner,
his father.
Colonel Seward made return to the writ
that the minor had been admitted as a pri-
vate into Company Of the Nineteenth Reg
iment on the 2lst of May, and that he was
on the 22d duly mustered into the service of
the United States for the term of three
months. Hence the respondent could not
discharge him without an order from the
War Department.
To this return tie relator demurred, al
being insutncient to authorize such deten-
ton.
Judge Brooks, in his opinion, tecites sew
eral statutes of Congress bearing upon the
point, among them the act of 1875, chapter
36, empowering the President to call forth
the militia to suppress combinations in OPP
position to the laws, and the law of 1915, and
the army regulations accordant Herewith,
prescribing that no person under twenty one
years of age should be recruited without
consent Of the parent or guardian. Young
Dresser being nineteen years old was liable
to military duty under the laws of this State,
and the President, as Commander-in-C Chief,
can take control of the militia The claim
of the parent is subordinate TO that of the
Government, and the rule holds good shat
generally whatsoever an infant is bound to
do by law the same shall bind him, albeit he
doth il without suit of law The question is
not free from doubt, but in the present crisis
the Government is entitled to the benefit Of
the doubt. 1t is therefore held that the de-
murrer is not well taken.

LAW REPORT.



R. D. Mayhew %. The Commissioners Of
Hamilton County. This case was submitted
to Judge Hoadley on an agreed statement OF
facts. The plaintiff had acted as Janitor Of
the Probate Court during the term of Judge
Burgoyn ne, and claimed to recover $207, the
difference between the amount allowed TO
him ($6 per week y for q portion, and 80,
which he claimed as the sum heretofore paid,
and as q reasonable compensation. The
Court rendered a Judgment for plaintiff.
Lsrobe Us. Burrowes Motion for con-
fImation of sale. The Court intimated that
a judicial sale of real estate would not be
valid unless made by a Master Commits
sioper. Even the Sheriff, in making a sale,
acts as a Master Commissioner by the ex-
press terms of the law; and until the Court
was satisfied the sale in this case was made
by party authorized to act in that capacity,
the sale would be invalid, and would not be
confirmed unless by consent of all parties.

THE LAW OF TREAsoN.-Bl0ekstone says
that "as treason is the highest civil crime,
which, considered as a member of COM
munity, any man can possibly commit, it
ought therefore, to be precisely ascertained."
AT pages eighty-three and eighty four of the
same book he says that furnishing the enemy
with intelligence, sending them provisions,
selling them arms and the like, are overt acts
in giving aid and comfort that amount to
treason; and this is the case whether the
enemy be subjects Of a foreign power, or our
own fellow-citizens in actual rebellion, at
home. In the case of the United States
against Pryor, Third Wsshington's Circuit
Court Reports, page two hundred and thirty
eight, Judge Washington, one of the Judges
OF the Supreme Court OF the United States,
says that, ''ifa man go in search of provisions
for the enemy, and fail to get them, he is not
guilty of treason, because treason consists in
the act and not in the intention; but if he
procure the provisions and carry them to-
ward the enemy, though arrested on the way,
, he is guilty of treason.D

POLICE COURT.-A large number of cases
were before Judge Satin, yesterday, most
Of them Of little Importance.
William Kelley, boy about sixteen years
of age, on charge Of malicious stabbing with
intent to kill, was held to bail in the sum of
$500 for his appearance at the Court of Com
mon Pleas.
Patrick Ryan, charged with passing couu-
terieit money, was also bound over to the
same Court. ..,
James Jones, charged with killing Patrick
Toner, on Dublin-street, on Friday evening
last, was brought up for examination. In
rhis case such mass of testimony was ad-
duced, most of it unusually clear and direct,
and yet so contradictory that it was impos.
sible TO make any thing out of it. The fact
of the killing was clearly established, in fact
it has never been denied, but whether 1t was
a case of willful murder, or merely done in
eli defense, was not by any means clear.
THE prisoner was finally bound over in the
. sum of $4,000 to take his trial at the next
term OF Court for manslaughter.
