lct that ! require the civil officers
Detroit, Michigan, TO turn over to
military authorities at that place, in
order that they may be at once brought
to trial before court-martial," these
parties, / cannot find that / have any
power under the Constitution and
laws of this State to comply with
such request. The accused are in the
custody Of the law, and with its ad-
ministration the Executive can in no
way interfere. His power is limited
to that of pardon, which can be exer-
cised only after conviction. He cam
not even direct or instruct prosecu-
ting officer to enter a noAe rrosequ,
and he can in no way interfere with
the custody, prosecution and trial Of
the accused. ,lIsJ
In view of all the facts in this case,
1t does appear to me that have no
power to comply with your request,
and that if / had such power its
exercise would be impolitic and un-
wise. r1 4syapiil in. zoo 10 olUt
Du' surprising lb W De true tnat the
authority of the military tribunals of
the United States is exclusive, then the
accused have, through the ordinary
course of judicial proceedings, per-
feet defense to their prosecution by
the State Of Michigan. Thoy can
plead this specially, or in some. way
bring it before the court; and if the
position is sound, their release is as
sired. ,r Isl,
Shou,Id it be feared, as intimated in
your commune ton, that in this case
a fair and impartial trial cannot be
had before the civil tribunal, l would
say that very liberal provisions haye
been made under our, statutes in ref |
erence to the selection Of jurors the
court in which the trial is had may
grant new trial and after convic-
lion the defendants, if they consider
themselves aggrieved by any opinion,
direction or judgment of the court,
may bring a writ of error. aD Htu
Declining therefore, to take part in
his matter,
l am, very respectfully, yours, &C.,

SALERATUs BY THE ACRE.-Fitz Hugh
Ludlow, in his overland trip to Cali
fornia, found between Utah and the
Humboldt mountains q large desert
composed, as he says, of ''sand of
snowy alkali." He describes it as
one Of the most dismal and forbidding
spots that was ever traversed by the
foot of man; but in view of tho ex-
tension through it of the Atlantic and
Pacific railroad, he suggests an inter-
esting possibility as to its future use.
He says: '1n its crudest state the al
kline earth Of the desert is sufficient
ly pure to make violent efervescence
with acids. No elaborate process is
required to turn into commercial soda
and potash. Coal has already been
found in Utah. Slick exists abund-
antly in all the desert uplifts. Why
should not the greatest glass-works in
the world be reared along the desert
section of the Pacific road? and why
should not the entire market Of the
Pacific coast be supplied with refind
alkalies from the same tract?'

Ingenuity on Wedding Festivals.

Time was when married people
would have to wait fifty years before
they could have good joyful occf >
sion and celebrate what they called
their Golden Wedding. But some
festV-a, e,-c-.r the Slvor ',vv,','i"e,
to be enjoyed after twenty-five years
have passed. Recently ingenuity has
devised more intermediate ones still
by dividing into half decades the pes
riod antecedent to the Silver Wedding.
Thus he parcels out the festivals for
the married folks
The fifth anniversary of the wedding
day is to be called the Wooden We'd
ding-the tenth, the Tin--the fif-
teenth, the Glass--the twentieth, the
China-the twenty-ffth, the Silver
the fftieth the Golden, and the sixth
eth, the Diamond, designating by
these terms the character of the gifts
to bo presented by the guests. The
fifth many live to celebrate, the tenth
a few will be missing, the fifteenth
more will be absent, the twentieth will
not have 25 per cent. of the fifth, the
twenty fifth will not have II per cent,
the fiftieth not over 3 per cent, and
the sixtieth perhaps not per cent.

The Wilmington Herald says
the removal of restriction on trade
has a wonderful effect in bringing out
cotton, turpentine, and other products.
Large quantities, are being brought
to light from cellars, garrets, outhouses
and other hiding places. The last
steamer for New York had n full
cargo, and enough left on the wharf
tS freight another steamer. Large
orders for goods have been sent north,
and oil branches Of business are re-
viving with remarkable rapidity.

0 MURDERED.-We learn from the tele-
graph operator at Nebraska City. that
John Forman, son Of James F. Forman,
formerly of this vicinity. was murdered
in Nebraska City, on Monday night. His
dead body was found on the street, on
Tuesday morning, with nine bullet holes
through it-three through the heart, four
through the lungs. and two in other parts
of the body. No clue obtained to the
perpetrators or the cause of the murder,
and we presume not much effort made.
Ths murder was evidently participated in
by more than one person, as two kinds Of
balls were used. ed.-9...s IL aasi,.

be appointed as a sort of smeller. to pry
into the affairs of the County officers. and
bring suits for the recovery Of alleged H.
legal fees. His attempt to use this priv
ilege for political effect proved a misera-
bic failure; and now bis legal measures
have opened up disastrously. At the term
of the Court, last week. Mr.. Perry COM
menced operations by bringing suit against
E. 8. Davis, former Treasurer, for over
$4,000 alleged illegal fees. The Court
decided that Mr.. Perry had no right nor
legal authority to bring suit-that the law
specified how suits in the name of the
County should be brought, and Mr.. Perry
was sticking in his shovel where there
was no fertilizing substance. The cases
were ordered to be dismissed, at the cost
of Mr.. Perry and the County Attorney.
