The gallant little States Of MARYLAND
and DELAWARE to which civil and religious
liberty owe so much in the past Of Ameri-
can history, are making new and not less
brilliant record for themselves. 1t will 81
ways be remembered Of MARYLAND to her
Glory, that She was the first State to throw
off hy her own force, after the conclusion Of
the civil war, those trammels upon the free
dom Of suffrage which the Radical despot-
ism during the war had succeeded in impos-
ing upon the people of the great communi-
ties lying between the two hostile sections
Of the Union. 1t will III like manner be re
membered to the eternal honor Of della
WARE, that a judge Of one of her courts
was the first to respect the supremacy Of
the civil authority, and the inviolability Of
the rights Of citizens as against the arbitra-
~ license Of military power.
1t will be recollected, that some time ago
four citizens of SoUTH CAROLINA were
arrested by command Of Maior-G General
SICKLEs, and having been tried by military
court, under the orders of that officer, were
sentenced to death. The sentence was com
muted by the President to Imprisonment
for lite, and the prisoners having oeen des-
patched first to tie Dry Tortugas, in order
to evale a writ Of haJcas corpus, were
eventually incarccrated in Fort Delaware
Here they were demanded by the civil au-
thority, under writ of habcas corpus issued
by the District Judge Of tn" United States
for the District Of DELAWARE. Judge
HALL, MASSACHUSETTS, man BY birth, and
by political sympathies, we believe, a Re
publican, is magistrate venerable alike by
his years and by the dignity and frmness
with which be has, through long career,
administered his high Office The mandate
Of his court was obeyed; the prisoners were
brought before him, and after patien,
hearing Of the case, they were discharged,
on the express ground that ''citi.ens are
not HaJIe to trial Jy u military tribunal"
This decision docs honor to Judge HALL
and to the State Of DELAWARE, and we
hail it with inexpressible satisfaction as the
dawn Of new and better day
HORACE GREELEY.-It is thought that
Horace Greeley will be elected the next
United States Senator from New York,
many prominent Democrats in that State
pre!orrirg him to a more radical man. -
Concerning the habits of Mr.. q. New
York correspondent writes:
Perhaps | ought to say here that the
common impression about Greeley mode of
life is not correct While in the city, away
from his home up the Hudson, he does
not, as is generally supposed, board at the
pie and peanut stands on the park, nor
does he sleep on hard sofa in one of the
bacl, rooms Of the TiiJuae Office lie eats
az the Maison Dore, and has nice room in
Twenty fourth street, handsomely furnished
with election returns and tariff statistics
The rumor that when he comes to town on
Monday morning he brings five days ra-
tons Of boiled turnips from his farm TO last
till Friday night, when he returns to his
rural home, is also without foundation. He
has recently made 500, 900 out OF his CON
flict, and feels quite rich Of course. In
fact, 1t Is said he was seen the other day
hanging. as it were on the verge Of tail
ors shop in the Bowery, and people need
not be surprised to hear OF his having new
coat before many days.
