GOVERNOR TOD AND THE HABEA

GOVERNOR TOP AND THE HABEAs
Corpus. whole State will be
electrified to learn that Governor Tod
resorted to the writ of HABEAs CORPUS
to prevent being taken to Fairfield
county, by the Sheriff of that county,
to answer to an indictment before the
Grand Jury for kidnapping DR.. Olds.
Governor Tod was not willing to act
upon the beautiful lines of the hymn
''1hat mercy to others show,
That mercy show to me
He also forgot all about the suspen>
sion of the writ of HADEAs CORPUS by
Abraham Lincoln! IN HIS OWN CASE!
We present this act of our Govern
'or and a Republican Supreme Court as
the greatest triumph of "the great writ
of freemen'' ever won in this country
"a case the most doubtful, too, on re-
cord-so doubtful that the Judge had
to take to next June to study the case.
We hope to hear no more about the
HABEAs CORPUS being SUSPENDED from
this time forward.
This is little ahead Of getting a
MANDAMus from the Supreme Court to
extend the effect of the decision of
Judge Van Trump, until next Decem-
Der! Civil Courts are becoming Of
very great Importance ALL AT ONCE

LoYALrY.-The only proof loyal
ty in this country is adherence to the
Constitution and obedience to the laws
made in pursuance of it. Under this
test. in the ranks Of what party would
disloyal men be found? Not in the
Democyatic, for it ispreeminently the
party of the Constitution. They
would be found among those who de.
clare that the Constitution and laws
have no valid force at the present
time, and should not be regarded by
the men in power, despite their oath
to sustain them. He who is against
obedience to the Constitution and in
favor of its suspension, is disloyal.

and humanity of the Thirty-seventh

anu humanity Of the ImrCy-seVentI
Congress" 1si
These are your only grounds of your
defence of the act from the charges Of
] our resolutions, aside from the slang
l have quoted. To which l say:-
First-The fact that the Secretary
has this power cannot alter the prin-
ciple to which we object. The rich
can pay, but notthe poor, consequent
ly it does discriminate in favor Of the
former to the injury and oppression Of
the latter class. But the first answer
is found in your own averment that
one of the objects of the law was "to
tighten the burdens Of the Treasury.
If this be so, of course, the maximum
Of three hundred dollars will be requi-
red by the Secretary of War, especially
in Democratic States.
Second-The declaration that the
act was intended to overrule the State
Militia laws is an admission which a
better lawyer would not have made, for
such authority was never conferred on
Congress. Whilst you are right that
it does thus extinguish State rights,
you are wrong in the assumption that
constitutionally the federal governs
ment had powerto do so. The ablest
lawyer and constitutional expounder
which New England has produced
(Mason) said that such a law was "not
only inconsistent with the spirit and
provisions of the constitution, but al.
so with all the principles of civil lib
erty."
Third-That it is ''evidence of the
patriotism, justice and humanity of
the Thirty-seventh Congress, accor-
ding to your idea of these qualities, l
admit. Let it remain as monument
to the memory of that assembly of
patriots. But I fear it will not. The
act itself, like the fell spirit that con-
ceived and moulded it into shape and
being, will pass away amidst the cxe-
crations Of the American people.
Sir, let me express the hope that it
may be submitted to judicial determi-
nation before the national exigency
may require its enforcement. Net
odious features, it shall
be declared valid under the Constitu-
ion we will respect and obeyit In
Iced, as is our duty, we shall support
t as authority until otherwise judici-
lily settled. But we will not yield our
lights to denounce it as an unwarran-
able interference with the reserved
oower of the State, and as unjust and
oppressive to the people. We hope
,he administration may not feel bound !
% enforce it An army of conscripts
cannot be available against the South
mless the government repudiates the
'anatical teachings of men like. your
'elf. Americans will fight and die for
heir country, its unity and the pres
,ryatioh of its institutions, but not to
,ratify the partisan ambition of mis-
AIKEN zealots, who, whilst bounding on
'thers to bloody grave, take care to
,eep well out of danger themselves.

4 Damntng Charge Against the
Administration.

A Damntng Change Against the
Administration.
A few days since, at a tremendous
meeting of the Democracy in the Coo
per Institute, New York City, Hon.
Fernando Wood made the following
statement:
81 have stated before, and Irepeat,
that on the 18th of December last,
propositions were made to the Presi-
dent which would have made peace,
with Union, before the. 1st of April.
l have been waiting for some authorized
denial of my statement that l might
produce the documents. 1t has not
been denied, because they cannot deny
it. 1t is not necessary for me to
prove by these statements that this
Administration never wished the war
to cease or the South to come back
for I have got the docume nts to PROVE
it." .-
Mr.. Wood had made this statement
previously, and he on this occasion re-
peated it. This is too an important a
charge for the Administration to allow
to be passed by in silence. The charge
is that, on the 18th of December last,
propositions were made to the Presi>
dent which would have made peace on
the basis of Union by the 1st of April;
and that this Administration never
wished the war to cease or the South
to come back; and Mr.. Wood tells US
HE HAS GOT THE DOCUMENTS TO PROVE
IT. Now, if that is true, the country
should know it. Not only should the
country know it, but the whole world
should know it. The people of the
North are primarily and deeply inter-
ested in knowing whether Mr.. Wood
has told the truth. They have to fur
nish the men and money to prosecute
this war. An enormous public debt
has already accumulated, which will be
a heavy burden upon the industry Of
the country for centuries, unless wiped
out by reputation. A conscription is
which will take of tho sons,
husbands and fathers of the North a
half million or million, to fill up the
gaps made in our armies by disease and
death. Is all this to be borne and suf-
fered merely to crafty the ambitious
designs of politicians in power, or to
carry out an Abolition policy that is
to end in despotism?
The cry should 50 up from every
and workshop, and field in the
whole North, for the documents which
Mr.. Wood says he has to prove the
charges he has made against the Ad-
ninistration. Every tongue should
be a trumpet, which should give the
ears of the President and those of his
Cabinet no peace until the proof now
leld by Mr.. Wood should be disclosed
% the world. In a previous speech he
said he was under promise to high
'lfcial at Washington not to publish |
he documents. That high official is
to be the President. Why |
loes not he, for his own honor, give
Mr.. Wood the liberty to produce his
PROOF? Why does he not call on him
10 produce his proof, or stand convic-
led before the world of uttering the
oasest SANDER that could be uttered |
against the Administraton@Shal the !
PROOF be forthcoming, or will the
President rest under the charge made |
against him by Mr.. Wood?-[ Gin.

Richmond Enouirer in

Bsy~ The Richmond Enquirer, in a
late number, has a philosophical arti-
Gle on the bad habit of eating three
meals per day. The editor argues
that two mealsare ample sufficient, adj
ding that under the present condition
of affairs, and the shortness Of provis-
ions, ''it is nearly as bad to grow fat
as to ret rich on the Confederacy.

The Mozart Hall wing of the De-

EI The Washington correspondent
of the New York Commercial says that
the New York Herald has been excluded
from circulation in the Army Of the Poto-
mac on account of recent article ON the
report of the Committee on the Conduct
of the war, which reflected severely on the
military authorities. Six or seven thou
sand copies of the PAPER were seized and
confiscated at Aqua Creek.

From the Daily Of May q,
STRATEGY.-No great clamor has be.

STRATEGY.-No great clamor has been
made, that we are aware Of, by the friends
of Gen. Hooker, that his especial forte
is strategy" Fighting Joe" has
been the pet appellation bestowed upon
him, and one which he signally won In
the subordinate position which he formerly
held. 1t has not been necessary to excuse
inactlon and failure on his part on the
ground OF strategic mysteries incompre-
henslble to the uninitiated. But whatever
may be the result of the terrible fighting
in progress behind fredericksburg, Gen.
Hooker can at least lay claim, so far, to a
most successful exercise of something
which we suppose is properly denominated
strategy. He has succeeded, as he prom
lsed, IN compelling the enemy to come out
OF their intrenchments to fight him on
ground of his choosing. A correspondent
says that after the failure of Gen. Stone
man to reach Gordonsville in consequence
of the then state of the roads and the
heavy force displayed by Lee in that di-
rectlon, the latter was convinced the next
attempt would be on our left. Gen. Hooker
by sklllful feints below Fredericksburg
confirmed the idea; Lee massed his forces
there, and left open the route pursued by
Hooker above Frederick sburg across the
Rappahannock and Rapidan to the rear of
the rebel stronghold. This gave our left
wing the opportunity to occupy Frederieks-
burg, which they did on Sunday.
1t is even stated that a dispatch has been
from Gen. Lee to an engineer
officer, saying in substance that he
aoas gery much surprised at the mouemeats,
had not anticipated them, and acas unpre-
pared TO gj0e him jnstructioaS.-T reb-
els are out of their intrenchments their
with Richmond is said to
be entirely cut off, roads seized and bridges
destroyed; all avenues of escape blocked
while our forces are in their front and
rear according to present advices.
So much for " strategy" 1t is kind
hat is not difficult to be understood by
common people The result now depends
lpon skillful management of the troops
IN the field of battle, and hard fighting.
The rebels are in a position which calls
orth the iercest degree of desperation
That Hooker may succeed as well in the
'attle as he has in the preliminary move
nents, is the prayer of all loyal men.
