Republican ON Dit

1t is runored that letters have been re-
oeived from Dol. WILLIAM r. MARsHALI, OF
the Seventh Regiment, announcing his
gracious consent to the use of his name
~ candidate for Governor. 1t seems to
b foregone conclusion that the candi-
date must be soldier, and consequently
the military aspirsnts are numerous.
Among those whose claims and chances
arc freely canvassed are Gen. JoHN B.
SANBoRN, Gen L. F. HussARD, Col. JOHN
T. AvzR1IL, Col. WILLIAM CoIv,11z, Dol.
william R. MARSHALL, Lieut.. Col. JxsN,-
soN and Lieut.. COL. RoaERs. Military men
are also to be represented in the balance Of
tho State ticket. We would suggest to
our Republican friends that the private
soldiers are entitled to some recognition,
a. well as the field officers, in the distribu.
ton of official honors.

One Way 20 Punish JEFF: Davis.

A novel suggestion is made by the New
York correspondent of the London Spec
tator, thus:
Mr.. Davis must be condemned to death,
bu. were I President johnson, / would
neither pardon him and send him into ex-
lie, nor allow him to be hanged. If he
were pardoned on condition Of exile, he
would merely lead q comfortable, perhaps
. luxurious life abroad, receiving much At
tention from certain people. he must be
conspicuously punished, and yet not made
q martyr either by his imprisonment or bis
death. Therefore, upon bis condemnation
would repsieve his sentence indefinitely.
on condition that he gave his parole never
to Leave the country, and to report himself
once . month to the judicial or military
officer of the republic nearest to his placs
ofresidence, and once year to the free-
dent at Washington. From auy position
of public trust he is Of course cut of. II
necessary he should be comfortably mn.
ported at the expense of the nation IN.
only punishment should be that of ov;rs
his life to the clemency Of the eoyernmsrf
be sought to destroy, and the becom;ne
humiliation Of publicly acknowledging its
authority once . month while he lived.
And such an example would be more in-
:tsuctive than . hanging. Thus would /
do with the chief civil and military Leaders
Of the rebellion.

John Morrisey, Ex-Pugilist.

The Troy Times is responsible for the
for the following:
Our townsman, John Aorrissey, is now
"power I" in the Stock Board, as, years
ago, be was in the prize ring. His shrewd-
ness is equal to his muscle. Here is a
case in point A few weeks ago, it viii be
remembered, John NJ. Tobin, President of
the Hudson River Railroad, resigned his
position. John Morrissey was the imme-
date cause Of that resignation, which was
brought about under the following circum-
stances: About . month since, Mr.. Tobin
"took his chances at the faro bank of
Mr.. Horrissey in New York, and in short
time won $4,000. he continued play
ing till he lost ga, 900, when he stopped.
Mr.. 1orrissey demanded his money, which
Mr.. Tobin refused, but offered to compro-
mise with $4,000. This offer Mr.. Nor
rissey Indignantly rejected, but gave Nh.
Tobin one week in which to "settle. +"
The time expired, and Mr.. Tobin was not
heard from. 4orrissey called upon him,
and threatened to disgrace him among his
associates, business and otherwise, unless
he "came to terms" Tobin was inexor.
able, whereupon Morrissey, true to his
word, reported the matter at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel, at the Stock Board, and
other resorts of Tobins. Commodore
Vanderbilt heard of it, and certain as
fate, in less than a week after, Mr.. John
n. Tobin resigned the Presidency of the
Hudson River Railroad. John Morrissey
triumphed. Much speculation was in
dulQed in at the time bv the OutaidA world
as to the cause of Tobins action. But
these are the facts a. related to us by q
gentleman in position to know them.
John Morrissey is power in more re-
spects than one.

The Prerogatives OF Law.

Vn0 xf0fO88t1Veo Oh LAW. HfT
Mr.. Justice NILSSON, Of the United States
Supreme Court, has overruled decision
of the Department Of Internal Revenue, in
the matter of the tax upon brokers. For
the past three years the internal revenue
bureau has been doing smashing business
in the Interpretation Of law, as well as the
execution of it. The Journal Of Conc
nerce rejoices to know that the time has
come when the Supreme Court Of the
United States can exercise its lofty pre-
rogative of interpreting and commenting
on the legislation of Congress, which has
been eminently reckless and often uncon-
stitutional. 1t says:
The circuit court is higher power than the
Internal revenue department, and (sabject to
appeal to the supreme COURT decides the law.
It not unfrequently finds occasion to show Of
ficers that they are to execute, not to make
law, and that they must submit their execu-
ton to the tribunals of justice. This is whole.
some. It is alamentable feature of some off,
cial conduct that it assumes arbitrary and su-
preme power, seeming to ignore the courts
entirely. And, indeed, for some years past,
the doctrine has been 90 seduously inculcated
that large numbers of men believe it. that the
administration, whose duty Is the execution Of
law, is the whole government. The courts,
as part of the organization of government,
have been ignored. The truth is that the
courts are az much the government as the ad-
ministration. Neither constitutes the govern.
ment, nor can either rightfully exercise all the
powers of government. They are independ.
emit, deriving their several powers from the
people, under the constitution. During the
war this doctrine was fercely resisted. Now
is the time to assert and maintain it.
