It, No end of justice can be defeated by
upsetting the judgment of the Commits
sion and giving the accused parties an
open trial according to the laws of the
land. The Marshals of the Courts are oil
of approved loyalty. They summon the
jurors, and none but loyal men are eligi-
BILE to the jury. Nobody believes that
any of the accused have any dangerous
hold upon popular sympathy. On the
contrary, though opposed to all illegal
methods of trial, public opinion is unduly
excited, we think, against the accused
Moreover, the civil Courts are now in full
operation and all civil process is unob-

Births, Deaths and Marriages.

From and after the first day of the present
month, all marriages, births and deaths are to
be recorded in the Office of the clerks of the sew
eral circuit courts and the Clerk of the Court of
Common Pleas in the city of Baltimore. 1t is
made the duty of all parents, householders, next
OF kin, ministers of the gospel, keepers of prls-
ons, almshouses, hospitals or other public insti-
tutions, to give this notice to the clerk of the
counties and to the Clerk of the Court of Com
mon Pleas in the city of Baltimore within six
months after the happening of either of the above
events, under a penalty of five dollars, to be
sued for by the clerk. In cases of the death
OF stranger, sections, coroners, undertakers or
other persons having charge of the obsequies or
funeral rites preliminary to the interment of the
body, are required to give this notice. The
clerks of courts are to receive from the county
or city as the case may be, fifteen cents for the
recording of each case, and are required to re-
turn statement annually to the Secretary Of
the Senate who is by this Act to receive one
thousand dollars per year for his services, in
addition to his per diem as Secretary of the Sem
ate.
Without enquiring into the wisdom of this
Act, we may well question the propriety of in.
creasing the burthens Of the people at this time.
The Republican Legislature seems not to have
remembered that at this moment the people Of
this State are subject TO an enormous State and

The Military Commission Again.

The Washington Military Commission,
for the trial Of Surratt, Payne and COM
pany, has at last closed its labors, and we
sincerely hope and do in part believe that
we shall never look upon its like again.
After the exhaustive argument of Mr..
Reverdy johnson, we suppose there can
be no two opinions among thoughtful and
unprecedented men.as to the jurisdiction of
this commission. 1t is no longer, we
think, an open question. ,....
Without any wish or intention to pre-
judge their cases, we are afraid that some
of the implicated parties in this conspiracy
case ought to be hanged, but nevertheless,
we are earnestly opposed to hanging any
of them or hurting single hair of their
heads, unless it can be done legally. To
execute, what is understood to be the YER
dict Of the Commission, is, in our best
judgment, to commit murder. 1t is an
alogous to the case of mob which, pen
ding the proper arraignment OF. 40 accused
party, seizes him on his way to trial and
beats him to death. Whatever the Of
fence committed or the guilt of the party,
we suppose this would be murder. And
in what respect does the supposed case
differ from the real one? In nothing
material that we can see. President

Infatuated, proud and naughty preachers

A Methodist Bishop went to Memphis

be promptly furnished upon receipt of

The Notes of this Third Series are pre-
cisely similar in form and privileges to the
Seven-Thirties already sold, except that
the Government reserves to itself the op-
ton of paying interest in gold coin at 6
per cent, instead of 20 l0ths in currency.
Subscribers will deduct the interest in cur
rency up to July 18th, at the time when
they subscribe.
The delivery Of the notes of this third
series Of the Seven-thirties will commence
on the LIST of June, and will be made
promptly and continuously after that date.
The slight change made in the condi-
tons of this THIRD SERIES affects only
the matter of interest. The payment in
gold, if made, will be equivalent to the
currency interest of the higher rate.
The return to specie payments, in the
event of which only will the option to pay
interest in Gold be availed of would so
reduce and equalize prices that purchases
made with six per cent. in gold would be
fully equal to those made with seven and
