The Law Vindiicated in Delaware

The gallant little States Of Maryland and
Delaware to which civil and religious liber.
tyoyeso much 1.-THE past.0f American
history, are making new and not less bril-.
liant record for themselves. It will always
be remembered If Maryland to her glory
that she was the first State to throw off by
her own force, after the conclusion of the
civil war, those trammels upon the freedom
OF suffrage which the Radical lespotism
during thu war had succeeded in imposing
upon the people of the great communities
lying between the two hostile sections OF
the Union y will in like nlarnerbe re-
membered to the eternal honor Of Delaware,
thata judge of one Of her courts was the
hrst to respect the supremacy Of the civil
authority, and the ,inviolabi ity Of the rights
OF citizens as against the arbitrary license
OF military power.
1t will be recollected. that sometime ago
four citizens of South Carolina were ar.
rested by command of Maior-General
Siiickles, and having been tried by amilitayy
court, under the orders ofthat Officer, We're Il
sentenced to DEATH The sentence was
COMMITTED by the President to imprison.
meent for life, and the prisoners having been
first despatched to the, Dry Tortusas, in
9 der to avade a writ Of ia5eds CORPUS on
issued by the District Judge of the United
States forthe District Delaware. Judge
Hall, a Massachusetts, man by birth, and
ny political sympatlies, we believe, u Re
publican, is a magistrate venerable mike
by his years and by the dignity and firm
ness with which he has. through a long
career 60 administered his high office, rThe
mandate OF his court was obeyed; the
prisoners were brought before him, and
alter patient hearing of the case, they
were discharged, on the express ground
that citizens are not liable to trial bu a
military tribunal" vre
This decision does honor to Judge HALL
and to the State Of Delaware. and we hail
it with inexpressible satisfaction as the
dawas9fJa new aud better day.T[N. Y.

be deplored. appears to ME, sooner or later
to be inevitable. This Gordian knot can

national government makes its power felt
the less will be the expense, the bloodshed

creasing in their defensive power each day,

Gentiles are becoming very indignant, and

was. the action taken by the Mormpns TO

! Of pine woods land for sale. This landlies
onthe North side OF Red river just below
PineviIle, and has front of three or four
miles on theriver. 1t is heavily timbered
with as good pine timber as can be found
anywhere, and offers peculiar inducements
to those who wish to go into the lumber
: business. There are many never failing
streams running over the land, affordiug
admirable sights for mills, and number OF
comfortable cabins are scattered over the
whole tract. Saw mill machinery worth
$4,000 was once put up and burned down,
from the wreck Of which much valuable ma

:, The lumber business. cannot fail to be
immensely remunerative in this Parish for
many years to come. The burned town
and desolated country-houses, fences &c
have TO be rebuilt, affording such q de-
mand for lumber as must make the busl-
ness profitable one. Besides the river
navigation the year round willgive a mar
