The Habeas Corplls Writ.

1t has been announced that legal light,
one Judge UNDERWOOD, of Virginia, had
refused the issuing of a writ of hdbeds cor
pus, alleging that the late proclamation OF
the President did not restore 1t in certain
States where 1t had been suspended. Other
Judges have acted in the same way, on
like premises. The matter having been
brought to the Presidents attention, within
few days, that functionary has put his
foot down on such assumptions of power,
letter from Washington to the Chicago
Times saying that lie has directed the At
torney-g general to order UNDERWOOD to
grant the writ in the case in which he had
refused 1t, and to instruct him that the writ
is now In full force again, in all the South
ern States. the same rs before the war, and
is to be granted in all proper cases.
Neither the Secretary of War nor the
Acknowledgement had any authority to
write that remarkable letter which has re-
Gently been issued from the War Depart
ment. stating that the Presidents peace
proclamation does not remove martial law
In the south, and does not restore the hd
beds corpus. 1t Is true that the prOclama-
tion does not say that martial law is re-
moved hereby, and the hdbeds corpus re-
stored But Il does say that martial law
was proclaimed and the hdbeds corpus sns-
pended in order that certain object might
be accomplished, and. therefore. that the
country reverts TO the condition In which IL
existed before IL became necessary to pro-
claim martial law and suspend the hdbedS
corpus That is the meaning and Intention
of the proclamation.

important 10 yVar-PIunderers.

Southern papers contain numerous adver-
tlsements, Offering large rewards to plunder-
crs, who followed the Federal armies, for
the spells which they could pick up, for
the return Of various valuable articles that
were carried or shipped North. One gem
tleman says there were taken from his
house some three hundred volumes mostly
rare French aud Spanish books, relating 10
the early history Of Louisiana, which can
not be replaced by purchase, and for which
he now offers five dollars per volume. A
Northern correspondent writes that he saw
six or eight boxes Of household knick-
knacks and women's and children's cloth
ing which were stolen In Pensacola by
MEAL Dow, and were stopped at the Gus
tom House In New Orleans. This same
Dow was convicted of stealing silver
pitcher from BhADIsn JOHNSON.
Libraries, wardrobes, plate closets, and
picture galleries In New Orleans. and In
other cities, were stripped during the war
and the peculiar performances of BUTLER
and his followers In this line, are more no
torlous in history than are any of their ex-
ploits in the field.
1t may well be considered that the mil
lenium has surely dawucd when such plum
dorers as BUTLER, BANKS, Dow. and a reg
iment of like rascals, disgorge their plum

are pertinent that
There is piano in this house, and set

was, vested in the ''lords of the whip and

whole of his valuable time to the selection,

Fiendish Assault on Gen. Grant, by
a Radical Organ---W What does ft
Mean?
The Chicago Republican, edited by Mr..
DANA, late Assistant Secretary OF War, Is an
ably conducted and extensively circulated
RepuJiicdn organ. 1t Is somewhat of the
radical stamp, but not beyond the prevail
Ing temper and taste of the dominant par
ty. Our Journal here, Is of Its type,in great
ly diluted proportions of mentality. The
RepubiicGR, under the sensational heading,
" Grant as thief aud murderer y thus draws
comparisons between the heroic 1t. 0cner-
al, and the miserable 1end, PRoBsT, who
lately murdered the Deerings, an entire
family Of seven persons, on the outskirts of
Philadelphia. In atrociousness II excels
anything which the Internal spirit of radl-
calism has yet spewed forth. We quote n
paragraph:
"Probst wanted the $500 and the boots /;
Grant wanted Richmond the Deering fam
| lily stood in the way Of the money. aud the
rebel army In the way of Richmond. Probst
murdered all the persons who could prevent
his theft; Grdnt did the same. Probst did
no more than Grant, but rs 10 the atrocity
of his act, was fully equal to him; Grants 5
motive was as criminal as that of Probst
and to accomplish his success he murdered
more people" &c.
TO the extent that Grant Is n thief and d
murderer, whose deeds can be classed only
In the same grade with the atrocious slaugh-
ter of the Deering family, SO also must be
| classed the acts of Sherman and Sheridan.
Thomas and their associates, rank and tle.''
When the rebellion was at Its very hight,
Southern journals afforded nothing in the
way of invectlve exceeding this. It's whole
spirit Is deviish. We are at a loss to con-
ceivc the motive of such atrocious dcfama-
tion. Not only is GRANT branded by this
organ of Black Republlcanism as "A
THIEF AND A MURDERERw but SmER-
MAN aud SHERIDAN and THOMAS, aye, "dnd
their associates, RANK AND FILEr'-all

A Series of Misfortunes-The Late
Victor Smith and his Family.

A letter to the Boston Commonwealth
from Washington Territory, gives the fol-
lowing chapter of misfortunes Detailing u
family, former residents of Cincinnati. Mr..
SMITH was the photographic official Re
porter for the Convention which framed
the new Constitution of Ohio, and for a
number of years an active assistant in the
Cincinnati Gazette:
The family of the late Victor Smith,
United States Treasury Agent seems to
have the calamities of lifetime to fall
upon them In quick succession. When they
first came here they lived on the beach at
the entrance of a little valley, and one De-
cember night, about two years ago, there
came rushing through 1t n torrent of water
which had burst from some accumulations
in the mountains, and swept their house
into the bay. Mrs. Smith extricated her
self and four children from the ruins, and
| got to safe place, while two men in
another part of the building were drowned.
They saved but II few Of their household
goods from the wreck In May last they
were shipwrecked on Roncador Reef losing
most of the clothing they had with them.
On the 30th of July, just two months after
the first shipwreck, Mr. Smith was lost in
| the Brother Jonathan" Three weeks ago
their new house on the hill, far out of the
reach of floods, was burned the family
just escaping with their lives. Mrs. Smith
seized the baby, only twenty-four hours
old, and. wrapping it In a blanket, walked
or stumbled over TO q neighboring house,
with bare feet, and in her night-clothes,
the night being cold and wet. Strange to
say. "mother and child are both doing
we'll" She Is woman of heroic stamp,
and the skill with which she manages and
disciplines her children Is constant won

The Most Heavily Taxed Nation In
the World.

Mr.. ID. A. WELLS. Chairman Of the Rev
cnue Commission. In responding to letter
from the Secretary of the Treasury, makes
n most startling official announcement to
the people OF the United States. We ask
taxpayers TO look their condition square
In the face. The Chairman says:
The borrowing period for the Nation
has passed, and we must now rely ~ taxa
tion exclusively. Our debt, the rates OF
interest considered, is larger than that OF
any other Nation. The greatest revenue
from taxes ever derived by Great Britain
was S375. .OOOOOO In one year, while we have
raised In the first three quarters of the cur
rent year Sil0,000,000, mainly from the in-
dustry of the country. This Is no indica-
tion for the future, rs there VIII be great
falling of In the future. The deficit viii
be large, iE MS IL now seems probable, the
country Is TO be visited by pestilence The
present system of our taxation enhances
prices by its Implications. and keeps down
productions. a reduction and equalization
Is needed.
The proposition to equalize bounties
would add two hundred aud fifty millions
to the public debt, or n yearly Interest OF
fifteen millions. The condition OF the rev
enue will not allow such an increase with
out resorting to taxes upon some OF the
as clothing. salt, soap, paints, paper har-
ness, implements, hardware, earthenware,
and the like which, united, have not yielded
fifteen millions In the fiscal year 1850
