AS the United States is now collecting
revenue by taxes on liqaor-selAng, these
cases under our prohibitory law are held to
involve eaestions Of revenue, and so, at the
Instance Of the Gqnor dealers lawyer, the
United States Circuit Court for hiassachu-
sets has ordered all such cases to be
stopped in the State Courts and sent up
to itself for further action. The rule is
universal, Of course, and no municipal laws
affecting the liquor traffic will be enforced
until q decision Of the supreme Court is
had upon this States right question.

CHI A r LIE S TON.
SATURDAY MORNING, JULY 2s. 1866.
THE PHILADELPHIA CONVENTION.

The columns of our Southern papers, we
are gratifed to notice, give Indication that
the people are fully alive to the impor-
tanoe of On able representation in the Na-
tional Convention, to meet next month in Phil
adelphia. They are selecting their ablest
and most reliable men, and ore prepared to
give their entire support to whatever mea-
sures the Convention may adopt, that may be
calculated to restore peace and harmony to
the country, and at last put to rest the nefari-
GUS and internecine agitation that has been
harassing our entire section ever since the
close of the war.
IF we understand the temper ofour people
Alright, they are disposed to 60 into this Con-
vention with the single motive above indi-
Gated. We have no ulterior view to subserve;
no engineering of party measures; no canvas
sing for the next Presidency; no seeking of
fat sinecures or big piles Of Congressional
mileage. We want peace, an end of strife,
and equality with the other States in the
Union. We regret therefore, the agitation
we observe going on the Northern prints; the
organs of each party endeavoring to claim
the Convention for their own, evidently hay.
ing an eye to the coming elections, and the
"balance of power.
We are sorry also to see in the New York
Times, professedly one of the strongest sup
porters of President JoHNsoN's policy of re-
construction, On assertion that test of some
kind would be required to become member
of this Convention. The Times thinks that
the Congressional test oath will be dispensed
with, but that all late rebels who have volun-
tarily borne arms against the Union must
come provided with President 10 HNsoN's
pardon; and that Copperheads, i:e., men in the
North who were opposed to tho Union during
tho war, would bo altogether excluded.
But from the very nature Of the case tthe
subject, inasmuch as tho Convention itself
with the "oall" as a basis, must decide all
these questions; and we can see no good that
can arise from 1.-The discussion of any, meas
ures that are calculated to give partisan
character to the Convention.
We hope our Northera friends,-all true
lovers of the Union,-wili forget minor diff
forences, and make one great united effort, and
assist us with oil their might to rout the
common enemy. The Radicals are wide
awake, and ore marshalling their forces
and unless the friends of the Union make a
combined and vigorous effort at resistance,
our chance of success must be small.

ANOTHER TURN OF THE scRE1v

ANOTHER TURN OF THE SCREW
A telegraphic dispatch from Washington,
dated the 25th inst, contains the following q
announcement
An Act passed the House of Representatives
aInendatory Of the Act OF 1898, establishing Judi
cisi courts. The amendment provides that the Act
OF haoeGs corpus shall not apply to tho case of any
Tho military authorities OF the United States
charged with any military Offences or with hay.
ing aided or abetted rebellion against the United
States prior to the passage Of the Act.
When this bill shall become law, the
Republic will have passed away, and mill.
tary despotism exist in its place. The mea.
sure apparently is directed only against
certain class, but the wording of the bill will
carry its effect far beyond this narrow limit,
and deprive every citizen without exception
of the benefit of the Habeas Corpus Act. This
bill makes it sufficient answer to writ of
habeas corpus to allsge that the prisoner is
held for q military offence, or is charged with
having been engaged in rebellion against the
United States prior to the passage of the
Act.
Who will be secure of personal liberty un.
der .such law2 The most loyal citizen of
the Union, if he should offend even q subal-
tern officer of the army, would be liable to
arrest, and could only depend for his release
upon superior military authority. The civil
courts would be powerless to do anything in
his behalf Tho writ of habeas corpus would
be answered by an allegation of a military
offence, and the civil judiciary would be
bound by this law TO consider that sufficient
return.
True, this bill has only passed the House
OF Representatives, and is very improperly
styled an Aet in the telegram. Before it can
become law it must be agreed to by the
Senate, and receive the signature of the Presi-
dent, or, lacking his signature, must receive
two.thirds vote of both branches of the ma.
tional legislature. Nevertheless, the history
Of the present Congress justifee us in assum.
