THE SUPREME COURT DECISION
IN THE vALLA DEGIh ANI CASE.
WASHINGTON Feb. u.

The case Of VAllanIi cham, er parte,
was decided in the Supreme Court Of
the United States to-day. The peti-
toner asked that writ Of certiorari
he directed to the Judge Advocate
General for revision Of the proceed.
lngs Of the Military Commission which
tried him, the Jurisdiction Of which was
denied as extending to the case of a
civilian, the object being to have the
sentence an nulled on the ground Of H.
legality. The Judge Advocate Gone
raj, Col. Holt, had responded in writ
ten agument that the court might, with
as much propriety, be called upon to
restrain by injunction the proceedings
of Congress, as to revise by ce,tiorari
and reverse the proceedings ofthe mil
itary authority IN time of war, in the
punishment of all military offences, ac-
coriing to the usages of all civilized
nations, and the power given by the
constitution and laws of the United
States for the common defence and
public safety.
Justice Wayne to day delivered the
opinion of the court refusing the writ
on the ground that, euen if the arrest,
trial, and punishment of Vallandigham
were illegal, there is no authority in
the courts to grant relief in this mode,
and that there is no law by which any
appeal or proceedings in the nature of
an appeal from Military Commission
to the Supreme Court can be taken.

THE CONSUMPTION BILL.

As to old North Carolina, wo pre-
sumo no one doubts that she would to.
day vote herself back into the Union
under the Presidents proclamation Of
amnesty If she only had chance. She
never really seeded; yet her Unionists
have been conscripted by tens of thous-
ands to fight for the rebellion and been
placed in the hottest forefront Of the
battle More North Carolinians have
died for the rebel cause than ever were
heartily in favor oft. And now her
people are calling for peace in tones
that must make the rickety usurpation
at Richmond totter to it's foundations.
IN Y Tribune.
How wicked, then, to impose upon
North Carolina the humiliating and op-
pressive terms of the amnesty procla-
nation. How wicked to compel, as tho
price Of their return to the Union, u
people who have been so true to the
Union and have suffered so much Oh
account of their faithfulness, to sur
render their property and their man.

TO make an earnest, unhinching, persistent effort
TO stay the tide of wrong that threatens to sweep
away the last vestige OF constitutional privilege,

Government he continued, we have evidence
enough in the past, that with the utter loss Of

hope Of the restoration Of the Unicn that is left.
We can look only for more debt, more taxes,
more CONSUMPTION, and irretrevable ruin. .-.u
