IMPORTANT LEGAL DECISION. FRAN

today decided to release Ridgely Great

oath of allegiance, which he has signitied his dc.
sire 10 do He will be brought into Court to-
morrow for that purpose. The Judge rendered
o very lengthy opinion in this case, reviewing the
Acts of Congress which gRve authority TO Unit.
ed States Courts. He said In conclusion: IF
the petitioner in the case at the bar had been sen
fenced to death and had accepted pardon which
committed his punishment to imprisonment for
life his acceptance would, under this decision,
have been deemed voluntary, and his imprison-
ueEt for life legal Can it be contended that
when the condition Is that he shall take an oath
which binds him to discharge his duties rs citi-
Zen and to refrain from the further committing OF
treason, his acceptance of the pardon Is not vol
untary and legal How far the promise Of the
petitioner or any other person who may accept
the conditions of the proclamation is sincere and
expresses q real determination to fulfill 1t we
cannot know. The President has seen fit to
invite all persons guilty of treason with certain
exceptions solemnly TO assume anew their obi
CATION as citizens and IA indueement he has
offered to them pardon for past otfenSes. 1t
appears to me plain that all persons, not in
Guided in the excepted classes, are to be-
deemed to be partlonsd on their compliance with
the required condition. have thus noticed, he
lieve every objection or suggestion urged by the
District Attorney TO show that the petitioner Is
not within the operation of the proclamation. My
conclusion is that the punishment TO which he was
sentenced has been RENTED by the Executive
and his offcnse pardoned. He is, consequently.

DAVIS TO TIE PoPE.-Thc New York
Ne,ns, an especial organ Of JEFF Davis in the
Empire State, and owned by Congressman
Ben Wood, gives expression to its feelings
Of pleasure at the recent letter of Davis to
the Pope, and in subducd tones pronounces
it christian-hle document, different from
the cold and hollow verbiage that emanates
from many of our own official pens"
Itisnct inopporture TO call attention, in the
first place TO the Subdue and 'presSive tone of
candor and Christian feeling which pcrvades the
letter Of Mr.. Davis. II Is so different from the
cold aud hollow ycrbinse thas emanates from
many Of our own official pens, thar the contest
brings very fnrcihly 10 mind the relentless parii-
zan and fanatcal spirit of the policy that rules
our unhappy land.
Il is well for our readers to bear in mind
that Benjamin Wood is one OF two monte
banks, bearing the same relation to each
other, both representatives in Congress, and
both the faithful advocates OF extreme South
ern sentiments. Yet these men talk Of ar
bitrary arrests, when lenient Administra-
ton permits such sheets as the Se'cs to eS-
press its open sympathy for the Confederate
Government, and its bitter hostility to all and
every means to overcome rebellion.

PRIEST POWER IN MExIco.-The greatest
difficulty with which governmental powers
have to contend in Mexico, is the power of the
priesthood. Until the dictatorship Of Com
onfort the Mexican Church was undisturb-
ed in its possession and accumulation Of
property; and since Comonfort's confsca-
ton edicts, revolutions and other troubles
have prevailed more than ever before. There
is strong church party which try to intimi-
date governmental parties with the pronoun-
cling Of church anathemas but it seems that
the fear OF accommodation is decreasing
greatly, presaging the prostration of church
power and the irresistible asccndancy of free
affairs of State. On two or three occasions
lately the Archbishop of Mexico has launch
ed against the other powers his bitterest de-
nunciations and read them completely out Of
.he benignity of the Church and Harem.
But they don't seem to mind it much.
