The Supremacy of Civil Law--The
Problem of the Peace PTOclama-
ton Solved.
The speculations and doubts as to
whether the peace proclamation ofPres-
ident johnson was intended to abolish
martial law in the South, and restore
the authority and. jurisdiction Of civil
courts, have finally been set at rest by
an act which gives his own iuterpreta-
ton oft The Treasury agent, Dexter,
convicted by a military commission of
fraud on the Government, kept in con-
finement in default of two hundred
thousand dollars bail, and refused the
benefit of the haboas corpus by General
Woods, commanding the district of
Mobile, acting under the order of the
War Department, has been turned over
to the civil authorities for trial Gen.
Woods has been ordered to deliver the
prisoner to the District Marshal, and
the District Attorney will take the pa.
peers in the case and arraign him for
trial His innocence or guilt is a mat.
ter of little consequence to the country
at large, but all who revere the suprem
acy of law will rejoice to know that a
speedy and legal trial will be accorded
him. Many similar cases are in exist
ence, and the same orders will proba-
bly, be made in all of them. Gen. But
Ter WAS retained some time for Dexter s
defence, and is now in the city pre-
pared TO submit his argument to Judge
Advocate General Holt against the ju-
risdiction of the Commission aud the
legality Of its procedure and findings
The Presidents order in the case re
moved the prisoner to another tribunal
and changes the nature Of the defense.
