SASSY WOMAN-


A Louisville correspondent of the St.
Louis Christian AdrOerte tells the follow
ing
The worthy wife of one of the worthy
bishops of the Episcopal Church, recently
attending the Episcopal convocation in the
city, is responsible for the following incl
dent, which we learned from very reliable
source: ..
The good wife was accompanying the
Episcopal lord on one Of the tours in the
Northwest The bishop is prospecting for
place to "plant the seed of the church" !"
spending Sabbath in village where the
Episcopal service had never been recited
before. To aid the bishop in 'the service" I"
and to impress the wondering Villagers
with the beauties thereof the wife, seated
in the midst of the congregation, responded
in a clear, strong voice, just when and
where deVont church woman and bishops
wife should, to the amazement of many,
and the indignation of at least one Of the
village matrons, whs said to her neighbors
as they left the church door; "Did ever
any body see such a SASSY woman as that
preachers wife. She set there in the church
and sdssed her husband all the time he was
a readin'."

DEATHR BIZ CHOLERA

Official returns received in the Bureau 0
Statistics, at Washington, show that il
England and Wales, during the quarter oI
a year ending October 1st, 1856, there were
1865 deaths from cholera. In the United
States, according to official returns gathereC
by the same Bureau, there were, during
the four months ending December lst, TO-
805 deaths.
OF this number, 1882 we're in the city o
St. Louis alone-mOre than a third of tbs
whole mortality from cholera in the United
States happening thus in a single city, and
that only the eighth in point of population
Ia the country. a. M -
In New York, there were l,l89 deaths
from cholera; in Philadelphia, S34 in
Savannah, 23l; in New Orleans, 1872; in
Richmond, 1874; in Yicksburg, 2l0; in
Memphis, S99; in Louisville, 1872; in Chi
cago, 978; in the army stationed at Rich
mond, Va, SO; at Jefferson Barracks, Mo.
l49; and at Tybee Island, Ga, 90.
These were the principal places visited
by the disease. l+-
The United States returns are from fifty.
three of the principal cities and towns, and
from the post commanders and hospitals OF
the United States army. They are believed
to show nearly the whole mortality from
cholera in this country, and afford an in
teresting comparison with the mortality re.
turns from the same disease in England
and Wales. o.

DIsGRACISG HIS UEIFORM.-The Talla-

Simon, L. S. A., ordered the notices of a
meeting of the ladies Of Key West, for the
purpose Of raising contribution to the re-

Of the INDECENT widows and orphans of de-

The Sentinel says he went 50 far as to post
an order prohibiting their assembling.
Does the United States government war
against humanity? Cannot the mother,
bowed with sorrow for an only son, fallen
in heroic battle, raise little sum

With uneouth rhymes and shapeless sculpture

IMPORTANT Pension DIcIsIoN.- i'm
Portant decision has been made by Secre-
tary Browning, affirming the decision Of
the Commissioner Of Pensions in rejecting
the application Of widows and minors Of
commissioned officers Of the army and navy
for the additional allowance Of two dollars
per month provided by second section OF
the act Of july 25,h, 1866. In the decision
the Secretary says, that section provides
for the widows Of deceased soldiers and
sailors and does not in my opinion apply
10 the widows OF commissioned officers OF
the army or navy. The distinction be-
tween sach officers and persons holding a
subordinate rank IN either branch of the
service rs constantly recognized by our
Legislators, and the term soldier or sailor.
cannot in the connection in which il Is
found, be constructed to embrace oficeD

Final Decision Of the supreme Court
Trial Of Citizens by Military Com
missions CncOnstitutiOnaI-Di
iRE Opinion rs 80 Congressional
Power.
Correspondence of the Cincinnati Gazette.
WAsHINeToN, Dec. 1.-THE Supreme
Court to-day rendered its full decision in
the Indiana conspiracy trials otherwise
known as the Bowles and Milligan cases er
pdrte. The decision was, as will be remem-
bered. made orally Just nt the close Of the
last term Of the court The questions dis
posed Of in this case and two other cases
heard with it, were as follows
lst. On the facts stated in said petition
and exhibits, ought writ of habeas corpus
to be issued according TO the prayer Of said
petition
%. On the facts stated in said petition
and exhibits, ought the said Lamden p
Milligan be discharged from custody, as his
said petition prayed2
Sd. Whether, upon the facts stated in
said petition and exhibits the military
commission mentioned therein, had iuris-
diction legally 10 try and sentence said
Milligan in manner and form as in said
petition and exhibits stated,
As TO the first two questions, itisanswered
in the Affirmative, and as 10 the third ques-
tion, il is answered in the negative.
Mr. Justice Davis read the opinion of
the court, Justices Grier, Nelson, Clifford
and Field conclrring in which, as 10 the
objection to the jurisdiction Of the court
in the matter, on the ground that there was
no suit pending before il. Ii il held that
a cause is suit, and wherever there is a
proceeding before a court brought 10 assert
any right by any person, that proceeding is
suit In this case there was no appear
ance by the prosecuting attorney on the
part of the government but that is inmate
rial as 10 the question Of jurisdiction, as
the appearance was not necessary 10 sustain
it. This language Of the statute, providing
for certificate Of division in any case,
where judges are divided, upon the appli-
cation Of either party, is intended rather 20
enlarge the statute than TO restricl ID In a
manner TO exclude the right of appeal. In
cases Of this chacacter, where only the
name Of one party appears.
On the merits il is held that Congress
provided against such commissions. rather
than in favor Of them, by the act Of 1868.
and that Congress has not the constitutional
power 90 authorize such commissions; that
the constitution is expressly against them.
and it is the supreme law of the land in
times OF war as in times Of peace.
Mr. Chief Justice Chase read an opinion
in which Justices Wayne, Ssayne aud Mil
Ter concur, dissenting from somuch of the
opinion Of the court as held that Congress,
did not have the constitutional power to
authorize military commissions but con.
curing as TO the answer given to the ques
tions certified upon. The dissenting OPT
nicn holds that in time Of war Congress
may authorize military commissions to try
ofenses such As charged in the case befort

Political Blackguariism.

1t is said that the Malays are the most
abusives scoundrcls ON the face of the
earth; but we take leave to question the
statement. We have partisan editors, SEN
ators, and representatives whose yitupera-
tive talent is at least equal to that OF any
Malay blackguard who ever stimulated his
native bitterness with ''bang." 1t has here
tolore been the usage OF editors in civilized
countries to treat the head of nation with
something approaching to common cour-
tesv, even when his views of state policy
differed from theirs. But the sons of thun-
der who rant and rave in the columns of
the dlsunion newspapers, and the orators
who spout radicalism in the House of Re-
presentatves and the Senate, deal in lam
guage which men who have arguments to
offer never use. According to the Chicago
Tribune, the President of the United States
is a monster who ought to be hurled from
his seat; a traitor, whose intamy that Of
Benedict Arnold did not even approximate;
Il base usurper, viper, creature ''reek-
ing with the odor of cabbage and whisky"
and several other things equally abomina-
bic. In Congress he is proclaimed to be Il
traitor deserving of decapitation, and de-
nounced US an assassin. We submit that
this is not logic. 1t is simply the verna-
cular of low-bred and violent men. Did
Webster, or Clay, or Crittcnden, or Clay
ton, or any of the statesmen who flourish
ed in the Augustan age of the republic,
before the Ben Wades, Thad Stcvenses,
and other politicians of the Malay stripe
had begun to run a muck against decency
and the cconventionalities of civilized debate,
ever resort to such lingo? Never! They
were gentlemen.-N y Sunday Times.
