Legislative Instructions.

The legislature OF Wisconsin instructed the
Rights bill Notwithstanding the veto. Sena-
tor Doolittle disobeyed the instructions and
voted with the Democrats. He did this al
though he admitted that he should have voted
for the bill originally if he had been present
confessing that he IS ready TO change his vote
at the bidding of the President, although re-
fusing to obey the wishes OF bis own state.
In Wisconsin they very justly characterize
him as the Presidents senator, as he repre-
sents A. johnson rather than the state OF Wis
consin. Unfortunately Tor his stat which he
so perverseiy misrepresents. he has served yet
only one-haii OF the term for which he was
elected.
Senator Morgan Of New York, who voted
with the President on The freedmen . Bure4 u
bill, parted company with the johnson seoa-
tors on the Civil Rights bill and was one of
the honored thirty-three who passed the bill
over the veto. The New York legislature had
passed resolution disappearing of the veto,
but Senator Morgan hardly needed these 10
remind him OF his duty. He evidently sees
thai those who follow Mr.. Johnson will short
ly find themselves IL the Democra tic party
and he does Mt propose 70 join that company.

The Peace PrOcIa NATION.

We print in full: elsewhere, the peac :
proclamation OF President Johnson, with all
the whereases introduced by the President
By way Of prologue, bat which are of no
possible help to the main fact Of the an
nouncement. The President states that the
rebellion is at an end in certain states This
Is fact susceptible Of proof, yet the procIa
nation Offers no proof Of it a. all and IT'S
whereases, except the eighth and ninth, 90 not
al ali help the reader to ascertln whether
the rebellion is really at an end or not. The
President excerpts Texas from this prOcl2Ina-
sion; but he gives no reason Tor that excep-
ton. This public document has SO much im-
per sIncnt matter in Il, matter which il en-
tlrely Irrelevant, that it is manifest that the
President had some object in view OH than
to Inform the public that the rebellion is at
al end
81 lar as the announcement that armed re-
sistanca to the United States authority had
ceased in the states named, Is c0ncernsd that
tact has beel evident since early last sum mer
The war ended shortly after Lees and John
ston's surrender. Why, if Mr. johnson has
such horror Of the incidents of d state of
war, did be not then issue his peace prccla-
nation?
This Proclamation, aside from it's irrelevant
matter-whch will have prec sely the same
weight and Importance as though Mr.. John
son had used the same arguments in stump
speech u his admlring Democratic and seces
sion friends-is only the declaration Ut the
President that the insurrecsion, which by for
meg prociamatIons had been declared to exist,
| is at an end IN the enumerated states. Wheth
er the instruction has left the rebellious
states in out Of the Union, whether they
are equal with other states or have lost some
of the privileges they before enjoyed, whether
they should be at once reorganized or the
reorganiz alton already inauguratei should be
recognized, are matters of which the Presi-
dent, as Chief Magistrate, is not .he Judge.
| Mr.. johnson, as an individual, has the same
right as other iniivliuals to his opinlo1 on
these questions, and shat Is all. HIS procla-
NATION, therefore, so FAR as IL travels beyond
The announcement that he insurrecton il
ended, is quite 0utsid- OF his Jurisdiction, and

| or Richmond Er0miner-It is NOT worth the

Republican party, can be answered by extracts
from Andrew Johuson's former speeches,

The proclamation has GREETED no sensation
ard will only have legal effect upon the de-
csions Of the courts in reference 20 writs of
ha6eas corpus and martial law. Apparently
it restores this writ, and declares martial law

Military Commission.

The Unltel States Supreme Court decided
in the Indiana conspiracy cases that the ha-
be0s corpus ought 20 issue 10 take Bowles,
Milligan and Hersey from inllary custody,
anu that the military commission which tried
them had no legal jurdisction. We have not
seen the full text of this decision, and cannot,
OF course, cay how sweeping in condemnation
of military tribunals in their trials of civilians
the reasoning is; but we suppose i. proceeds
generally upon the principle that civilians
cannos constitutionaily be tried by military
courts. The constitution provides that 20 no
person shall be held to answer for 4 capital,
or otherwise Infamous crime, unless on q pre-
sentml rat Or Indictment Of Il raad Jarv, ex.
ceptia 'g.sss arising ia the land or naval forces,
or IL the militia, when III actual service n
time OK war or public danger, and undoubt-
eddy the Supreme Court held that this pro-
vision was 30. suspended during the war
We supposed the coor; would make such
decision whenever the question was presented
TO then, and we have therefore ct all times
disapproved of the trial of civilians, in places
where the courts were in the unoDs.ructed ex-
erciss Of their functions, by military tribunals
