DECISION OF THE CHESAPEAKE CASE
The Pirates discharged from Custody.

The Pirates discharged from Custody.
ST. JOINS, N. B., March 10.-Justice Richie
this morning gave judgment in the case of the
Chesapeake prisoners, brought before him by
writ of haLeas corpus. The Judge went very
fully into the matter, occupying about two
hours in the delivery. He ordered the release
of the prisoners on the following grounds
First. Because there was no proper requisi.
ton on the authority OF the United States for
their rendition, without which all subsequent
proceedings We're Of no legal effect.
Second. Because the offence alleged is piracy
against the law of nations, and it being admit
ted that the persons charged were never in the
United States after the committal Of the action
on the high seas, complained of as constituting
the offence, the parties are justifiable in this
province, and it is not, therefore, such an Of
fence, under the treaty, committed within the
jurisdiction of the United States as would en-
title the United States Government to require
their being delivered up.
Third. Because, as at present advised, he, the
Judge. thought that if it were an offence for
which the prisoners, if proper case had been
MIR. Gilbert had no jurisdiction, either po-
take cognzance of the matter, but the proceed
ings under the Governors warrant should have
been before an officer having jurisdiction over
the offence Of piracy
Fourth. Because il Mr.. Gilbert had such ju.
risdiction, the warrant he issued for the COM
mitment of the prisoners, under which they
are now detained, is bad on its face, and in
sufficient in law to warrant their detention.

Wind rour evEn BnaIusss.


Itis reported that the opposition mem
bers Of Congress held a caucus on Sstur-
day evening at Washington, at which The
! following resolution was passed:
(" ResoIUed, That the Presidents Procls'
nation Of the 8Ih Of December, 1868, is un'
wise, inexpedient, revolutionary aRd un-
constitutional, and is therefore dissp
proved"
The amnesty proclamation, which is
spoken Of, relates entirely to the South ;
it affects only the people Of the Southern
States when they complain it will be time
enough for northern men to speak against
it. But until they do, we warn our reac-
tionists that in opposing and denounciDg
it they are violating rule Of their own
making, and interfering in q matter in
which they have as little business as Gar
rison and Wendell Phillips had, in other
days, according to conservative notions,
to interfere with slavery.
The amnesty proclamation has proved
already a mcst successful measure. From
all parts of the border line we have re-
ports that it meets the views and is cor
daily accepted by the mass Of the people
Of The States oYerrun by rebels; we have
never before received so many deserters
into our lines as in the short time since
this proclamation was issued; and the
signs are such as to warrant the belief
that if they could get away, thousands of
the soldiers in the rebel armies would
throw down their arms, cume to cur lines,
take the cath Of allegiance prescribed by
the President, and return to their homes,
never again to take up arms against the
Union.

Iu Danger Of Corruption.

We hope the Legislature will be put up.
on their guard against corruption by the
tsint of which the Crisis speaks in the
following paragraph concerning the organ
izatioR Of the House:
"The Democrats, (Cop2s.) though few in
number, nominated Mr.. Uhl, OF Holmes
county, for speaker Of the House, and Mr..
Raney, OF Fairfield, for Clerk, and cast
their votes for their own candidates. They
happily did not forget the scriptural in
junction, that "a little leYen lsVEs the Vhele
lump"
The people wall hope that the "little
(e)leDsH will not corrupt the whole legisla-
tive qump." Indeed, there seems to be
very little danger from this leaven of con-
taminstion, es the prospect now is that
they will turn out to be what bakers call
