eral Banks, appointed June 5, to take rank
May 16, 1861. Major General Dix, appoint
ed June IA, to take rank May 1G, 1861.
The decision is upon two grounds: First,
that an appointment ay be ante-dated by
the President, as in General Fremonts case,
and second, that the order in which the
names stood in the list when appointments
were sent in to the Senate determines the
rank between Generals Banks. Dix and But

General McCIellan at Albany.

The presence OF Miss Anna Dickinson is en-
phatcally required at Albany. The citizens Of
the capital Of New York are evidently very
much in the dark as to the crimes against the
nation of Major General Mcclellan. They
seized upon the occasion of the Generals casu-
al visit to Albany on Saturday afternoon to hail
him as If he were hero and patriot; and It
must be particularly depressing to all "Loyal
Leaguers" bent upon making the dull public
understand how black is really white and white
black TO see that soldiers returning from the war
to their homes are just as stupid as citizens who
have watched from afar the career of the SOL
dier Of Yorktown and Malvern Hill, of South
Mountain and Antletsm.

couquersble refusal of the popular mind to read

Habeas Corpus in New York.

Something is the matter with the Republican
papers Of New York city. There is evidence
of conversion to real loyalty. Whether their
own necks are In the halter, or they are blessed
with transient CLEAN of sanity, we are unable
to dettrmine. But they are all just now de-
Tending the writ Of habsds corpus. The follow
ing is from the Times Of q late date:
The habeas corpus in New York 10 either sus-
pended or IL is not. We are led to infer, 10 the
absence of any better light, that 1t is not, from
the fact that the officers of the Government
sometimes obey It, When writ was issued by
Judge McCunn last fall, directed to General
Banks, be scrupulously and cheerfully complied
with il, and directed that the man for whose
appearance it called should be at once deliver
ed up, although be was on board the transport,
and on the point of being carried south with
that "aecrtt" expedition. More recently q
similar writ, signed by the same Judge, direct
ing the production Of man on Governors lsl-
and, was received by the commanding cficer as
of full force and authority, and expressly dis
avoWed all right or desire TO evade or resist the
process Nothing has since occurred 20 give
any countenance to the notion that the power
Of the courts has undergone, in the eyes OF the
Government, the smallest change or curtRil-
ment. Consequently, we can see no reason,
and we venture to say there is no reason worthy
of two minutes consideration, why, when Ham
bleton's body lie called for In court. the officer
who has the misfortune to have the custody OF 1t
should rush out of town, and the article itself
be hurried off to Fort Lafayette, apparently for
the purpose of evading compliance.
