Supreme Court-Important Decision in Ha-
beas Corpus Case.

WAsHIYGToS, December I7.-To-day, In the
Supreme Court, Associate Justice Davis read
an elaborate opinion in the case of Laurdin =.
Miligan, who was convicted in Indiana by a
military commission, charged with conspiracy,
and sentenced 10 death. He was, however,
released on a writ of hdJeaS corpus, the court
at its former session giving a decision Of
the unconstitutionality of the trial by mill
tary commission Congress having passed a
law providing for trials in such cases by the
civil tribunals. The Judge spoke of the
Importance of adhering to the constitu-
tional guarantees of protection TO life and
property. Although the privilege of the
writ Of habedS corpus was suspended, this
did not deprive the accused Of an appeal TO
the civil courts, for he had never been en-
gagged in the naval or military service, but
was simply a citizen of Indiana. There was
no necessity to try him before military court,
for the civil courts was open and process I'M
INSTRUCTED besides, the trial by military
commission was obyiated by an express law
of Congress passed in March, 1868.
The Chief Justice for himself and Asso-
ciates Swayne, Wayne, and Miller read dis
senting opinion as to the power to establish
military courts by Congress, but agreed in the
general views Of the majority. In other
words, the full court agreed that the trial by
military commission was illegal. This deci-
sion affects the cases of Bowles and Horsey,
tried for a similar alleged offence.

WAsHIyGToS, December l6.-The receipts OF

amount to nearly slj9, 600. The aggregate
of the present fiscal year is expected TO be
$500, ZOO, 900.
The notices recently published concerning
the discontinuance of southern post-oiiices
are liable to be misunderstood. No wholesale
discontinuance Of offices now in operation is
contemplated, but the action of the Post office
Department refers only to the many offices in
the South which We're suspended ut the COM
mencement of the war, and which have not
Since been formally re-opened. Although in
fact dscontin ued the accounts of such Offices
cannot be closed and balances due the Govern
ment collected by the auditor for this depart
meut under existing laws and regulations
without a formal order of discontinuance by
the Postmas ter. General; whereupon the bonds
are surrendered to the Auditor, and he can
proceed against the late postmasters. The
Auditor of the Post-ofiice Department reports
TO the Postmast ter General that the postal
revenue in. the late insurrecuonary States
have exceeded by nearly $780,, 900 the actual ex-
penditures, and it appears that, including all
liabilities TO June Goth last, the revenue in that
section would be deficient only $4,000.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.

. RICHMOND, December II.
Virginia State stocks are very dull in New
York and in this city rs n matter of course.
Having risen at n recent date 10 fij for re-
gistered, the quotation has receded, until
now S336f34 are the rates asked, with no sales.
Several causes have led to this decline. The
doubt which hangs over the Stat"S of the
South, and the sweeping threats of the Radi-
cal Congress, have a serious influence i'll de-
pressing the credit Of Virginia rs well rs in re-
straining her energy and prosperity. The stay
law has also its effect. But perhaps the third
cause has as much 10 do with il a any other.
That is the silence OF West Virginia upon the
subject of her portion of the public debt.
Fairly liable for at least one third of the debt,
she shows no disposition yet towards the as
sumption of any part of it. This is considered
by many ominous of her determination.
Hoping that is not the case, we concur with
Auditor Taylor, OF this State, in the opinion
that whenever West Virginia declines TO pay
her just part of the debt il will be the right
and duty of Virginia TO scale the debt OF the
State, paying, herself only two-thirds of it,
and leaving the holders to look TO West Nir-
ginia for the remainder.
