u..torasaon Of Law:

. fav DAYS ago We had dispatch nom
v.shiuaton that "the President has de-
...,,;n.d as soon as practicable to with
d,sv the orders suspending the privileges
- The writ of habeas co,psss, and to d's-
nanse with military courts"
The same dispatch, with slight var'a-
toms. has been given to the country q
hundred times in Is many days. but the
military tribunals are still at work. and the
the hobeas corpus is abrogated in every
State of the Union. And the most dis
coursging thing in regard to this business
is the tact that, with few honorable eEcep-
tons. the conventions and organs OF the
dominant party utter no protests against
these, encroachments on the rights OF the
people. + One of these exceptions is the
Nil@sSkee Sentinel, the leading kepubll-
can ss0sSnal Of Wisconsin. This Journal
apprehends that men in Office have Y, found 6el1l
the exercise of arbitrary power 50 con-
venient that they hesitate about giving 1t
up. It says it is the duty Of the press OF
the whole country to expose such abuses
Of power. The Democratic papers win Of
ourssooudemn it.; but President JoE1sos
may suspect them Of being partisan in
their view of the question. II, hovevee,
the Union press Of tho country demand
that, war having ceased, the govenmeu,
dali restore to the people OF the ioya
States, at least, their old rights Of personal
liberty, the administration can hardly 70
fuse such reasonable demand. 4
We hope the Republican peesses sns
se,tticians Of this State win take The RICH

enAea OAxunos achieved ) decided Il.
umph in The matter Of To Philadslphis
appointments, over the radisal Congress
man nom that city, and particularly over
Judge KrxsY who is a'pnetty good fac
sSssils of our own IasA1Tus DoHxnLY.
KuIxY had . radical slate made up Of
his own friends but old SIMoH broke it up
entirely and got all the appointments for
his own friends. In Philadelphia on Thurs
day evening Of last week, the ex-Secretary
was serenaded by the friends Of the ap-
pointees, when he read the city represent
tativesa lecture, as follows:
Permitting these gentlemen to dictate to the
whole power of the Executive to them. It is
very proper for them when asked for their
opinious to give them, but they must not at
tempt to force them upon the Executive OF the
country. There was time, and within my
memory, too, when the term member of Con-
gress from Philadelphia was synonymous with
greatness In those days members were too
proud to loiter about the Departments in
Washington, hunting up sops. or needing
with little appointments-with one vote in the
hall and two in the lobby.
This speech resulted in furious on
olaught by Judge KELLEY upon CAMERON,
III the Philadelphia papers, over his own
signature. KELLEY charges CAMERON with
frauds upon the Indians thirty years ago,
and continued career of corruption and
bribery. The 'tloyal people" of Pennsyl-
vania are very much exercised over this
family quarrel, while the rest Of mankind
are prepared to believe anything and eve
rything CAMERON and KELLEY may say of
each other. r. a na a3ea l9e

Tar removal OF SIMON DRAPHR, Col
lector of New York, and the appointment
of Hon. PREsros KMG as his successor, is
regarded by the Herald as proof that
President JOHNSON is determined to carry
out his policy in regard to the Southern
States, and intends that no subordinate
officials shall be retained who attempt to
throw obstacles in its way. Other jour
mails say the change has no political agni6-
canoe Whatever. Mr.. Kme is warm per-
sonal friend of the President, stood by
him like q brother during his "incoheren-
cy," and it is only natural that Mr.. JOHN
son should give him q substantial token Of
his regard. The collectorship OF New
York is the best Office in the country. 1t
is stated, that Mr.. DRAPRR has received
over 500, 900 the past year.

4 correspondent Of the New York 1Fi-

crest apparent satisfaction. the TACT that
in the recent elections in France, NAroGs-
e. did not zee ct to interfere. he did
not even notify the voters, through bis
Projects, the names of the candidates
whom be preferred, a. has been customary
heretofore. With u.s. with the Democrats
out Of power only q very few years, the
drift is in the other direction. The ac-
counts of the interference Of the military
in the recent elections in Kentucky and
Tennessee, show that Federal bsyonets
controlled the ballot boxes, and that citi-
sens who voted at all could not vote
against Administration candidates without
having life or limb endangered, or being
grossly insulted.
