An OLD TIME LETEETI.

We print in another column a memento
Of the Notification times Of 1888. when
South Carolina WIS, us now, determined to
60 out Of the Union OF "die in the last
ditch" The letter to which we invite the
readers attention, has little value, save as
it furnishes an illustration Of the real
meaning Of the talk in which the whole
South, and the Southern sympathizers in
the North now indulge, when reunion is the
theme. They are not to-day whit more de-
termined, more malignant or more mistaken
than they were when Jackson served them
the same purpose that Lincoln serves them
now. Indeed, in the letter to which we
refer, il, where Jackson's name occurs, that
Of Mr. Lincoln we're substituted, it would
read like production of last weeks Rich
mond Enquirer or Charleston Mercury.
But We have never heard that all tile
ffoth, fustian and fury, Of which the letter
is faint type, with which Gen. jackson
was visited, ever had the effect to make
the patriots Of that State whit less any
ious for the official loaves and fishes that
tie Government had to bestow, than they
were before Secession was invented. The
letter ls, in this light, significant and in
structiye.

The Writ Of Habeas Corpus.

The Milwaukee News publishes in full the o.
pinion of Judge Paine, of the Supreme Court
of Wisconsin, in the Kemp haJeas corpus case,
which was also the opinion of the court. The
opinion is able, and the conclusions arrived Mt
are briefly stated as follows:
FIRST The Government of the United States
is invested with full power by the Federal Con.
stitution to prosecute war, and there is no
power out side the Constitution.
Second. Only the people, through their rep.
resentatives in Congress, can suspend the writ
of habeas corpus
Taad The President can execute the laws
only by such means as the Constitution and
the laws themselves have given him power to
employ.
Fourth. A military commander may declare
martial law in districts which are the actual the
atre of ,oar, where hostile armies are met for
the purpose of destruction, or in insurrectionary
districts where domestic violence and discord
haze e6ectualy diplDced the civa authorities But
NOT ELSEWHERE.
Fifth. Courts martial are courts of inferior
and limited Jurisdiction, and have no jurisd 10.
ton to try any person except such as are6y la,u
amenable to such trial.

ment Of the government, and when tho writ Of
habeas corpus is not suspended by Congress, the
Executive has no political power to in,rrisan .hs
