Mn. VAILANDIGHAM-Hr PROPOSED PUNISH
MEYT.--we perceive that the majority Of the
court who tried Mr.. vallandigham, OF Ohio,
have sentenced him to two years imprisonment
at the Dry Tortugas. We do not see how the
court could do anything Of the sort, o. their
duty was simply 10 find him guilty or not
guilty. But we give the report as pub
lshed in the official organ. But the
finding Of the court is not yet approved by
General Burnside; and, II even he endorse II,
the President must ratify IT before II can be
carried into execution. Then a motion for
writ Of habeas corpus is pending, which may
have the effect, If General Burnside obeys the
civil law, Of taking the case out Of the hands Of
the military and sending II for adjudication by
the civil courts, where IL ought to have been
sent in the first instance, II any legal offence
had been committed by Mr.. vallandlgham.
That gentleman has been trying hard TO be-
come q martyr, aud TO carry out the proposed
SENTENCE would exactly suit him. His chance
OF being elected Governor Of Ohio was small

SLowNEss OF Our PRIZE CouRTs-GRumrNG
FROM ABRoAD.-We see that the Marquis of Clan.
ricardo has brought forward In the House Of
Lords the grievances to which British owners
are subjected by the unaccountable prolixity
of the proceedings in the American prize courts.
We ourselves have on several occasions remon.
strated against the impolicy Of such tediousness,
inasmuch as il tends to damp the zeal Of the
officers and men Of our blockading force. The
statement made by Lord Clanricarde, that quite
number Of vessels which had been seized and
brought into port as far back as fifteen months
ago had not asyet been adjudicated upon, Is
unfortunately quite true. II Is impossible to
obtain satisfactory explanation of the causes
of such procrastination. When captured YES
sells are sent into port all the evidence that Il
necessary to their condemnation is sent with
them. The usual plea for delay in legal suits
the difficulty Of procuring testimony-does not
therefore hold good in their regard. II in their
papers and cargo sufficient cannot be found to
proceed upon, then the case is at an end, and
they should be promptly released II, on the.
contrary, the evidence Is conclusive, there Is
still less excuse for delay. 1t Is unjust and op-
pressive towards oil concerned, and Is the more
inexcusable from the fact that the public inte-
rests suffer from It. We expect that the inouI-
rics which are being prosecuted into the conduct
Of certain officials connected with these courts
will furnish clue TO Il. Unless an explanation
Is TO be found In the evidence thus taken. wc

The following joint resolution passed
at the late session of Congress, in refer
ence to the collection of hostages on un-
paid mail matter from foreign countries,
is ofinterest to the public:
Whereas, The failure to prepay for
eign correspondence throws upon the
Postof6ce Department of TIT. United
States large balances which have to be
paid in coin; therefore,
''Be it enacted by the Senate and
Houee of Representatives of the United
States of America in Congress assembled,
That the Postmaster=G General be and he
is hereby authorized to take such meas.
ures as may seem to him advisable to col
lect hostages on letters from abroad not
prepaid, in order to avoid loss in the
payment OF such balances. srs
Approved March 3, 1863"
We learn that the balance due from
this to foreign Governments upon the let
ter postage account amounted dnring the
last fiscal year, to S2l2,6O7 Sc. Besides
the expense incurred in the collection of
this sum, the remittance of SO lagre an
omount::abrOad necessarily involves a seri-
Gus loss. Congress has by this resolu-
ton authorized the Postmaster-General
to take such measures as he may deem
advisable to collect the inward postage
upon foreign letters not pre-paid-so as
to avoid this loss. This, we apprehend,
can only be done by collection of all in
ward unpaid postage in gold and silver
coin. sThis will add to the expense of for,
eign correspondence and prove inconve.
nient, but it may be easily avoided by
prepayment.
We trust sufficient time may be given
before any such regulations shall be en-.
forced, SO that foreign correspondents
may, at their election, avoid the loss and
Inconvenience by prepayment.
