Important Decision.

In the case of Edison B, Olds against
David Tod and others, pending inY Fair
field county which is an acticn3for the
arrest and imprisonment Of the plaintiff
in Fort Lafu,ette, the defendants sought
to remove the trial into thesUnlted States
Court fur, the Southern District of Ohio.
bEtbat parpo}a thfy Sled their petition
under the late act OF Congress- called the
habeas corpus act, and the case was ar
gucd before Judge Van Trump, by Thos.
Eging Henry Stansbury at d Hooking
Hunter, for the defendants, and A g..
Thurman, George e. Pugh and G d.
Mrtin for the plaintiff.
TheeJuage has refused the motion and
retained the case for trial, because the act
Of, Congress d, is unconstitutional. The
Jud9eis sopinion in the case is given at
length in Medary's Crisis, of November
25tb,r 1863, The, opinion would be more
forcible IF it occupied iesstspaceA The
true point in the case is we'll put and we'll
decided. = Ts.A, 81 y -
The Urbana Union has already argued
this question under the head Of Cover

this language :aych ~ s-sha

1t takes away or assumes toetake away, the

his tribunal, even where the case may In

absent FROM THE ARMY.-The late
call for three hundred Thousand more
men to supply the places of those whose
terms of service are about to expire, is no
doubt justified by the necessities Of the
Government. But if one were to form
his Judgment on the subject from the
large number of officers and privates who
ARE absent from the army on furloughs, IL
would not be unreasonable to conclude
that the country has more soldiers than it
can usefully employ This city seems to

THE DRAFTED POLICEMEN A short
time since Marshal ,Vannostrund made ap-
phcation toIthe WarDepartment at Wash
ington for the discharge of tb,s members
ofthe polio force drafted into the service
Of the United States. He received a re-
ply stating that there was no authority for
such course, nor could the policemen be
but in consideration of the po-
siion they occupy towards the military
authority, they could be .furloughed,
which would be equal to discharge
The marshal, however, would report every
month, so that it might be knewn if any
policeman was dismissed or voluntarily
left the police force. In either event his
furlougb could be recalled, and he be held
to do military duty. The drafted men
did not like the proposition, and some of
them have already paid their Communication

whether foreign consuls would have the
power Of granting the same, The consul
was Informed that the regulation would
extend to British vessels, as well rs to
vessels of other nationalities, but that in
dfyidual passengers would not be required
to obtain passports, and consequently for
eign consuls would have no occasion to
grant passes to them. ''' .
