The New Orleans Officers.

The corrupt officials who have had pos.
session Of the city government Of New Or
leans so long, found it hard to give up the
fat offices which have minestered to their
necessities and their corruption. They
preferred foul charges against the Mayor
elect and Others of the new officers, which
led to their temporary suspension by Gen.
eral Candy until the matter could be in
vestigated. AS the accusations are plainly
the result ofmalice, and the charges evident
ly unfounded, the new Mayor will not be
kept out of his Office for many days. Gen
eral Candy has acted in the matter with
great discretion and has shown an unwil-
lingness to interfere at all with the ques-
tons at issue. The officer he has entrusted
temporarily with the duties of the office,
was elected by the people, and is the officer
designated by law to take the Mayoralty
Ia case OF any existing disabilities
The retiring mayor has shown that he is
not only actuated by the basest motives
with regard to the Mayor elect, but that
he is wantingin the courtesies due from one
gentleman to another. For the first time
in the history Of the city the outgoing
Mayor was not present to receive his sue
cessor and induct him into Office.
Of course it must be hard matter for
the New Orleans flock to leave their we'll
feathered nests, but it appears to us that
they might have concealed their chagrin
and i'll nature from the public gaze. If
one cannot die game, there is such thing
as dying gracefully.

The Supreme Court.

The chamber Of this august tribunal was
the theatre ola marked scene on the 7th
inst. 1t is thus described by telegraphic
correspondent of the Boston Post. Speech
es like those Of Attorney General Black
awaken hopes for the future of this coun-
try. They show that the fires of liberty,
though smothered for the time, under the
rage Of fanaticism and sectional prejudice,
are not quenched in the minds of the Am
erican people, and will some day break forth
to consume the enemies of free and consti-
tutional government:
The Supreme Court was crowded to-day.
The speech of Acknowledgement Black on
military commissions was delivered before
that Court. General Butler was present
and commenced speaking after him.
Mr.. Blacks speech is styled by leading
lawyers here the greatest effort Of his life.
He gave history of the birth and strug-
giles of trial by jury, and in speaking of the
nature of Military Commissions said
"They simply signify the right of an execu-
tive, irrespective of the judicial power, to
capture, imprison and kill any person to
whom the government or any Of its DEEPEN
dents may see proper to impute an offense,
and the power to choose court that will
do their bidding. This power is lawless
and despotic. 1t has been exercised in
some form or other ever since the days of
Nimrod, under various shapes and disgui-
ses. Under the French monarchy it was
executed by means of lettre de cachet;"
in Russia by an imperial ukase in Turkey
verbal order from the Sultan causes a
man to be tied in sack and thrown into
the Bosphorous. Herod sent his provost
marshals to kill all the children in Bethe-
lem and spread mourning over all the land
in one night. Macbeth organized COM
mission upon Banquo, and that Commits.
sion satsupon him the same night at con.
venient place beside the road where it was
known he would pass, and the Commission
did precisely what the Attorney General
says Commission may do hers with an
American citizen that is, they killed him.
"When Lola Montez was minister and
mistress of the King of Bavaria, she had
another mode of dealing with those who
thwarted her government, but substantially
the same; she bought herself pack of
English bull dogs, and with these at her
heels she marched up aud down the streets
OF Munich with sense of power which any
Judge Advocate in America might envy"
Mr.. Black also remarked that no witness
was ever punished for perjury committed
before military commission, for the gov
eminent protected and employed them
/" The power of such tribunals in the hands
of an executive, backed by raving crowd
or malignant priesthood is to be dreaded.
Why, it is the French revolution and the
Polish plot combined. Every bright name
in history was linked with resistance to
such despotic use of illegitimate power, and
none excused it or used it but beast who
fattened upon the garbage and offal thrown
BY its masters" Gen. Butler during this
portion Of the speech bent his head over a
book LOWER aud lower. The court was still,
very stl and not even Erskine or Burke
mpeacA ipg Warren Hastings were listened
to With gave and reverence.

General Grant and the Presidency

The Radicals would take possession of
General Grant, soul and body. They are
beginning to discover that their revolution
ary measures will eventually destroy their
party, and are seeking to secure another
four years lease of power by availing them
selves of General Grants popularity. They
would make him their candidate for the
Presidency, and are trying to put him in
training for the great Presidential race in
1868.
Whether they willsucceed in getting him
on the track Is doubtful, and it is still more
doubtful whether they could elect him il
they should bring him out General Grants
order, subjecting the press to censorship
would kill any candidate for the Presidency,
or for any other civil Office all the swords
in America being unavailing against the
combined pens engaged on the public press.
That he issued such an order is proof to our
mind that he is not candidate for any
thing, and that he cares but little for its
effects on his popularity.
But even supposing that General Grant
should be brought out as g candidate, there
is no probability that he could be elected to
the Presidency of the United States To
say nothing of the absurdity of one section
electing to rule over the whole nation
man whose only reputation is derived from
shooting off the heads Of the other section,
the people of the whole country have oflate
years manifested decided aversion from
the elevation Of military men to high and
responsible civil Offices. It was different
in the early days Of the Republic. The
people readily submitted to the election Of
Washington, Monroe and Jackson
because these men were the best that could
be found, without regard to their military
servicec. But when Harrison and Tay-
Tor were put forward and elected for no 9TH
er reason than their availability, derived
from their military success, such reaction
took place, that Scott and Mcclellan had a
harder road to travel than they would have
had if they had never been within cannon
shot of battlefield. So would it be with
General Grant: his military reputation
would prove a dead weight to him.
General Grant has proved himself an
able military commander, and could not add
to bis reputation by accepting an office to
qualify himself for which his past life has
not afforded him any opportunity. His
good sense, therefore, ought to lead him to
repudiate the efforts the Radical leaders
are making to detract from his well-earned
fame, and from the popularity which he
now enjoys with the American people.
