The Persecution of Mrs. Douglas.

"Agate," the Washington correspondent
of The Cincinnati Gazette, says: "0f course
the last lie about Mrs. Douglas needs no
contradiction. She and Mr.. Colfax are so
far from being about to consummate mat
rimonial engagement that they have not
met for years; but 1t is needful for the Press,
in behalf of outraged common decency, to
put stop to this mean persecution of a
woman. Mrs. Douglas is beautiful and
accomplished lady; she was conspicuous as
a leader of Washington society, and as the
wife of an eminent politician; but neither
of these facts cons4cites reason for pur-
suing her into her widowed privacy with
all manner of absurd reports. One month
we have her married In some newspaper to
Mr.. Chase; the next we have serious tenn
mime disturbances, threatening to break off
this engagement Of Mr.. Chase's; the third
month brings a statement that Mrs. Doug
las is clerk in the Treasury Department;
next comes an impending marriage with
Mr.. Coltax--the whole series being alike
absolute, pure Inventions, without one shad-
ow OF q faction which TO base them. Mrs.
Douglas has remained, since the death of
her husband, in strict seclusion--not going
into society, seeing little orsno company,
and giving herself, with exemplary devo-
tion, to the education of her children. Can
anything be more intensely. mean than the
paltry persecution of parading her con-
stantly In the papers as engaged to this enc,
aud carfying on fiirtations with another,
and on the verge of marriage with another"

The Editor OftIie journal In N new
Role" Loyal" Representatives
4 ON a Bust. Al A
The Columbus correspondent of one Of
the Cincinnati dailies thus describes re-
cent scene in the Hall ofthe House of Rep
resentatives: sS S6 |
:. IA disgracefiil scene occurred in the House
Yesterday afternoon. The editor of The
State Journal, who appears to havetaken the
patriotic duty of informing the Legislature
of the contents of all the dispatches that pa
per receives, rushed into the Hall of the
House in frantic manner, and had a dis
patch read announcing the capture of
Charleston, burning OF the city, and the kill
ing of large number of women and chill
dren by an explosion. Whether the cap
ture, or the burning of the city, or the kill
Ing of the women ..and children was the i'm
mediate cause of what followed, it is diff
cult to determine; but certain it is, that
the wording of the dispatch seemed to
have very extraordinary effect upon
some ofthe loyal members. They jumped
upon their feet, and howled, and stamped
like frantic rioters in mob. A resolution
requesting the Governor TO fire salute Of
100 guns was offered and adopted. When
the House adjourned, several undigniied
members Immediately calledupon Mr.. Bah
cock, of Cleveland for ''John Brown,'' and
that magnificent vocalist sang the ribald
abolition anthem commencing John
Browns body lies a mouldering in the
grave" and the Abolition members Joined in
the chorus. These proceedings had the eff
feet of clearing the hall of all the ladis pres
ent, and all the members whose sense of
propriety was not entirely lost, and who
could not tolerate such disgusting eXhi-
bition of fanatical frenzy.

The Catholic Telegraph ON Mill
tary Courts.
From The Telegraph of the 22d

From The Telegraph Of the 22d
The Indianapolis Sentinel of Saturday con-
tanned the following:
1--WE were informed yesterday that infor-
nation had been received to the effect that
Judge Advocate General Holt had decided
that the military commission convened in
this city for the trial of Messrs. Bowles,
Milligan and others, had no jurisdiction in
those cases. Ifsuch be the fact, these cases
will be turned over to the civil courts-the
United States District Court for Indiana,
Judge Mcdonald, for trial" Ne
A statement to this effect also appeared in
The Cincinnati Enquirer of yesterday.
1T is hardy CT edible that Judge Holt has
made this decision."-Coa,mercidl, 10th.
1T is hardly credible that Judge Holt,p
or any ordinary lawyer, would give any
other opinion. The powers of a military
commission may be defined by Halleck, but
he is poor authority upon any subject,
excepting the topography from Pittsburg
Landing to Corinth. Senator Howard, of
Michigan, one Of the ablest aud most pro-
found lawyers in the United States, ably ex-
posed this pretentious law writer few
days past in the L. S. Senate, ON interna-
tional law.
The alleged conspirators at Indianapolis
should have been tried in the U. S. District
SOuTI Ior lHuIdut, Jne dlleSeu NnicdSO con-
spirators should have been tried before the
us. Court for the Northern District of IL
linois.
Judge Hollis reported decision is not
only right, but it isa.fitting rebuke to the
pomposity and bombast of those who are
too, Jealous to convict men for imaginary
offenses, by catering to the prejudice of the
public. We hope military commissions,
and all the expensive trumpery appertain-
ing to them, will be speedily abolished in
the States where the Courts are open and
unobstructed in administering the laws.

WE reprint below the legal opinion Of
Judge Thurman, j. w. Andrews, and II
j. Wylie, which was read before the City
Council on the evening of the 2lst inst
We do this in order to correct it-for as we
printed it on Wednesday morning, it was
incomplete by the omission of word in an
important connection that completely
changed the sense. Here it is as it was
written by Judge Thurman:
COLUMBUS, Feb. 20, 1865.
As requested by the City Council, we
have considered their ordinance of Decem-
Der 26, 1864 amendatory of the ordinance
Of August l, 1864, relating to bounties to
volunteers, and now report:
That the only statute we have found that
confers upon the Council the power to pay
bounties, is the act of March %, 1864, 6lst
vol. Ohio Laws, page "a; and the question,
therefore. is whether this act authorizes the
enactment of the ordinance under consid-
Grafton. We are clearly of the opinion that
the first fifteen sections of this act relate
wholly to the acquisitions of the President
Of the United States, made in October, 1863
and February, 1864. and, therefore, confer
no power upon the Council to pay any bonds
in respect to enllstments under the Presi-
dents requsition of July Is, 1864. But the
18th section relates tU enlstments under
acquisitions made, or to be made after that
of February, 1864, and authorizes the
Council "to offer bounty for volunteers.
not exceeding the sum OF 500 for each re-
quired from any such city to fill its quota
under such call or calls"
The remainder of the section relates to
the mode OF raising the money.
Here then is the power possessed by the
Council, and what is it? 1t is a power to
"offer bounty for volunteers " to FIJI the
quota of the city. Plainly, itseems to us, this
Is no authority to pay volunteer who had
enlisted before the offer was made. that is,
before the passage of the ordinance; and is
certainly no authority to refund to any one
money paid by him to procure the enlist
ment OF such volunteer. The object of sec
tion 16 aforesaid is to enable the city to fill
its quota, by offering bounty to those who
should, upon the faith of such offer, enlist
that is, 70 offer bounties in order to pro-
cure enlistments. 1t is no part Of its object
to make donations to those who, before the
making of any such offer, had enlisted, or
to refund advances made to procure volun-
teers prior TO such offer. The latter object is,
to some extent, provided for In the first fiji
teen sections of the act but, as before said.
they relate to the calls of October, 1863, and
May, 1864, alone. Weare, therefore, unani-
mously of the opinion that so much of the
original aud amendatory ordinance as
provides for the payment of bounties
to those who had enlisted before the pas
sage of the original ordinance, to wit, Au-
gust l, 1864, or, for refunding, in whole or
In part, any advances or subscriptions made
