As it is a subject of much discussion at
what time the writ will be returnable, it may
be well here to quote the law of Maryland
on the subject of the hGbeas corpus. Section
4, of act 43 says that the officer having the
party, serving out the writ shall, within
three days after such service make return Of
the writ and cause of the person detained to
| be brought before the court or Judge, accord
ing to the command of the writ.
II this discretionary power of the warden
to return the writ within three DAYS should
be awaited OF, it is supposed the parties may
not gel hearing before Tuesday or We'd
nesday morning. II is not known what
course the warden of the Jail will take if the
| parties should be brought before Judge BAR
TON tomorrow.
The Sheriff, not needing the warning, was
| quietly arrested and brought before the
court on this warrant.

The city continues remarkable quiet and
with the exception of small gatherings Of

nothing noticeable out of the ordinary course

Washington this morning.
The writ of habeGs corpus has not been
served, but will be tomorrow mOring. 1t is

MIR. DEnOwrs RAILROAD LETTERS.

The reader must have observed that this
series, which is about being closed, covers
the whole field Of discussion, and leaves
very little, if anything, TO be said which has
any important bearing upon the subject.
The writer has evidently given great atten-
ton to the matter, and has opened an inter
esting field of inquiry, not only to the peo-
pie Of Tennessee but Of the entire South.
1t is impossible TO resist the conclusion
that the road Of which Mr.. DEBow is
President, is a most important one for the
people Of Nashville and those along the
line, and that it should be speedily con-
structed. 1t is an enterprise entirely within
our reach, and our citizens and authorities
should promptly respond. The series Of
letters, we learn, will be revised and pub
lished in compact form in his Repier, and
Mr.. DEBow is about to make a trip North
in the interests Of the work.

THE BALTIMORE InBROGLIO.

1t viii be seen, from the news we publish
this morning, that the Radical revolutionists
in Baltimore have found base minion,
exercising judicial functions, TO set aside
the authority and action Of the Chief
Executive, and 10 order the arrest and i'm
prisonment Of the new Police Commits
sioners. This is fragrant rebellion. The
Legislature reserved to itself and to the
Governor, when il was not in session, the
exclusive jurisdiction in the appointment
and removal Of these Commissioners. The
recourse Of the old COMMISSIONER under
the law, as it comes to us, was TO submit to
the action Of the Governor, aud IL they felt
aggrieved TO appeal to the Legislature upon
its assembling. The courts could only be
invoked rs n last resort-and then only to
determine the constiutionaliiy of the law,
and whether the Governor and Legislature
one or both, had acted within its provisions
and mandates. If great and irreparable
injury was about 10 ensue from the action Of
the Governor, the utmost power Of the court
would be to grant a temporary injunction
until the whole question could be investi
gated aud judicially pronounced upon.
Instead Of this, these disturbers Of the public
reposc, these corruptors Of the public
morals, these violators Of the laws, have
found a Judge who treats the Governors
appointees as fclons, arrests them as Of the
basest OF mankind, and thrusts them into
prison! Whatever may be the pretended
justification Of this high-handed outrage, it
is without the sanction Of law or precedent
in this country, and takes It's place in the
history Of our times as an act Of despotlsm I'M
relieved by a single palliating circumstance.
We were not prepared to see any branch o.;
the judiciary, in any part Of the country,
thus early in the process inaugurated by the
Radicals to overthrow the republican insti-
tEiions and popular liberties Of this country,
lending itself to the active work Of over
turning the laws and We set il down as an
other aud alarming step in the pathway Of
revolution, anarchy and despotism. IL the
people Of Maryland bow their necks, the
tyrants will not lose moment in placing
the yoke upon them.

The situation on Monday.

BALTIMORE, Nov. SIN the Court OF
| Appeals this forenoon Mr.. Latrobe, on
behalf of the new Commissioners, announced
that the writ of habeas corpus had been served
on the warden of the jail this morning, and
added that he had Just learned that the
warden had been at the court house without
| the prisoners; that in reply to an inquiry
made of him he had said his means of con-
veyance were exhausted, and that he had
come hither to get a supply.
Mr.. LatrObe added in a sarcastic strain
that he thought there were other bach stands
nearer the Jail than the Circuit Court room.
He would not say whether this was or was
not merely a continuation of the efforts of
the other side to consume time. He did
think, however, it looked like it.
Judge Bartol reminded the counsel that
the warden was not Obliged to make a return
instantly. The law gives three DAYS in
which TO make his return.
Mr. Schley said that he considered that
the intent of the law in this particular case
was, that three days should be the utmost
limit and unless there was unavoidable i'm
pediments, he was bound to produce the
prisoner without delay.
Judge Cartel said the writs were issued by
him at five o'clock on Saturday evening, but
it appeared that for some reason they were
not served until this morning.
Mr.. Sohley begged that the court would
give reasonable time further for the warden
to make his return and produce the prison
ers.
1l:30 A. M.-The prisoners not appearing,
Mr.. Hornitz, on behalf of the sheriff, said
ave have now waited one and half hours
after the hour named for the return Of the
writ. 1t was evident that the warden was
seeking pretext for delay; he therefore, on
behalf of his client, the high sheriff, moved
a petition that his Honor command the
deputy sheriff to forthwith bring the warden
before the court, together with the high
sheriff"
Mr.. Schley said he would, on behalf of
his clients, have a similar petition to offer
Mr.. Alexander, the counsel for the old
Commissioners, now appeared and expressed
a desire to be heard on the subject. He I'M
derstood the warden Of the Jail was now in
consultation with counsel, and he had no
doubt some return to the writ would be short
ly made.
Messrs. Schley, Latrobe and Herwitz de-
sired to know if Mr. Alexander could in
form them what the return would be.
Mr. Alexander said he was not counsel
for the warden, and could not say. He
hoped and expected, however, that by one
O'Clock such a return would be made as
would render any further proceedings here

THE MEXICAN QUESTION.

Giving Up Any Mexican Territory.
New YORK, Nov 5.-The Heralds Wash
ington special says it is probable that Gen
Grant has at last, per instructions of the
President, taken up the Mexican question,
and will push the matter with his usual zeal
and earnestness, so far as he may be author
rized
On Saturday morning he invited Senior
Romero to his headquarters for 4 con6den-
tial interview, which meet took place and
lasted for some time.
A staff meeting was held at Gen. Grants
headquarters after the departure of Senior
Romero this morning, but what connection
this may have with the Mexican question
is at present merely conjecture; but il is
stated and believed that the Mexican ques-
ton has been re-opened with France, al
though it stands without change as last pub
lished, where the note from DRUM De
L'huys placed it.
The Government is waiting to see how
the French act up to the first of the coming
year, and if at that time it is seen that there
is no faith exhibited, or a tendency 70 dupli-
city, then such action will be fOrcibly re-
commended as will insure our interests and
feelings to be respected.
President Juarez has written letter, in
which he again asserts his unwillingness to
consider any projects looking to a cession of
the Northern States of Mexico to the United
States; furthermore, it is known that some
three years ago Don Jose Domingo Cortez
came to this city and proposed, before the
execution, the annexation to the United
States of Chihuahua and the States of Next
coon the Pacific coast, in order, as he said to
free them from French Intervention, and that
Juarez instructed Senior Romeo to officially
deny that Cortez had any right to make any
such proposition.

REFUSING TO CONTRACT FOR NEx1
YEAR-We are informed that in several Of
the counties in Middle Tennessee, the freed.
men are refusing to enter into contracts for
labor for the ensuing year. There is an i'm
preston among some employers who have
sounded the negroes upon the subject, that
they are induced to this course by the advice
Of bureau agents, and that some of them are
Aattered with the belief, that, after Christ
mas, they are to be invested with an interest
in the lands. Upon whatever grounds this
impression has been produced, it is due to
the freedmen, the general public, and the
cqief Of the bureau in Tennessee, to correc.
the Misrepresentation, and to advise the freed
men officially Of their rights and duties in

good authority that the President has order
ed General Sheridan not to make any arrests
under Grants famous order, which Affects
forty -four persons accused of committing
murders on the 18th of July, in this city.
It Is well known that afidavits were placed
in Gen. Sheridan's hands over two months
ago, accusing certain parties of murder. The
above accounts for his not acting in the
matter.
The appointment OF Judge Morgan, a no.

oENT- T. ID. a. ATKINS TURNED Ed
ITOR.

The Paris, West Tennessee Iatslliqeneer, o.
Saturday last, announces the withdrawal Of
Col. II. W. WALL from its corps editorial
and the accession of Gen. J. D. C. ATKINS
Col. W. goes Southwark in search of a
warmer climate, on account Of his health.
Gen. ATKINS is so well and favorably known
in Tennessee, as a lawyer, politician and
member of Congress, both at Washington
and Richmond, that it is unnecessary to
speak of him further. He closes his salu-
tatory with the following reference to pre-
sent afairs:-
We are an intense Confederate, idea
is in the grave,-we now acknowledge the
entire supremacy of the authority of the
United States Government, and in the name
of justice and the Constitution, we demand
its protection, and equal privileges. Those
who deny the right of the Southern States to
representation and their people to equal i'm
munities, are rebels to the Government
which our fathers established, and while
they would attempt to disfranchtse or dis
able any portion of our people by constitu-
tional amendments, andstatutory enactments,
they at the same time, strike death blow to
the principles upon which free government
alone can stand.
We invoke the lovers of liberty-of peace
the friends of Union, everywhere, to yield
to the logic of truth and the persuasions of
justice, and in a spirit ofconciliation, forget
ting the angry passions and embittered feel
ings which the war awakened and kindled,
come together animated by the simple sem
timents Of how this unhappy strife can be
best and soonest ended, the people reconciIed
the Union perpetuated and the States, one
and all, once more sovereign and indepen-
dent, within their constitutional sphere. If,
however, these great objects cannot be OBJ
tanned short of more blood, then may they
who sow the whirlwind reap its fury.

Controversy between Secretary Harlan
and Gen Ewing.

WAsHINGTON, Nov. SIT will be recollect-
ed that several days ago, the, Ex-Secretary OF
the Interior, Mr.. Harlan, published defence
of his sale of the Cherokee neutral lands to
the American Emigrant Company, of Con-
necticut. This morning General Thomas
Ewing replied to that gentleman, denying
that he stated to Mr.. Harlan that if these
lands were sold as the lands of the Sacs and
Foxes, he and his friends could make money
out Of the transaction. The main point in
the protest of himself and John w. Wright,
attorney for the Cherokee Indians, against
the sale, was that according to the treaty,
if the lands were to be held at all, without
appraisment, and advertisement and compe-
titiOn bids, they were to be sold in a body
