THE LAW IN HABEAs CORPUS CAsEs.-The
New York Times has an editorial to-day on the
subject of the enlistment of minors, and the
proper returns to the writ of habeas corpus, to
which the attention of our judges might we'll
be directed, as well as the notice of our Demo
cratic contemporary. The case on which
the comments are made is not that of Captain
A. NJ. Brown or Commodore Selfridge, but one
in Richmond, Virginia.
"Otu Courts have decided that The Federal Courts
atone haze jurisdiction TO issue The 1OT Of hdbeas
cOrpUS lOere the petitioner Is held under dtttho
ritz of the ldlUS of The United States; and under
these decisions 1T would seem that Judge Mere
dith ought to have dismissed his writ when 1t
appeared that the petitioner was q soldier of
the United States army, or declined TO issue 1t
in the first place If that fact appeared in his
petition. But as he did issue Ii, and took such
proceedings as to provoke this refusal to obey
il, We must think that these decisions were not
brought to his notice, or that he came to a diff
ferent conclusion from that held by our Courts,
though this seems to be the only natural con-
clusion from the decision of the Supreme Court
of the United States in the case of Ablennan VS..
Booth.
"But why should the military authorities
have refused to obey the writ? The Supreme
Court quite clearly indicated in the Booth case
that it was the duty of the United States official
to obey the writ, far as to make return to it,
setting forth the authority under which the pe-
titioner was held 1ChereupoR becomes, they say,
The duty Of The State Cgt 10 proceed no further Ia

The Momentous Issues.

THs N. Y. Tribune to-day has sensible
article on the pending elections, and one in
which the great issues at stake are adequately
stated. We quote its words, and commend
them to the attention of every Republican who
may be intending, on personal grounds, to
support the Democratic tioket:-
"Upon the fate of the Republican party in the
approaching elections in New York and Penn
sylvania hangs consequences 80 vast and inn
all the dangerstOf our position. Democratic
victory in these states would rouse the dor
mant energies OF the whole Rebel element in
the South, and the entire negrOkilling mob at
the North.
1.-THE people now demand that the plan OF
Congress should be fairly tried. They must
Teiterate this demand at the coming elections.
Any other result would summon the elements
of the Rebellion to the control of the Govern
ment-would surrender the South to a worse
than its former despotism and anarchy, threat
ening social war of races, on the one hand for
the restoration of a slavery fully abolished, and
on the other for the preservation OF liberties
fairly won. Hand in hand with this revolu-
national bankruptcy, the repudiation of all
debts, public and private, and the restoration
of all those malign and reckless Influences
which once so nearly effected the dissolution Of
"We should then have Pendletons, Blacks,
and Vallandighams in the Cabinet, aud Lees
and Beauregards in our armies. The necks of
the Southern Untonists would be under the
feet of President who only for a time seemed
faithful to freedom, In order to betray his
pledges to slavery and rebellion, and who now
only clings to slavery and rebellion from senti-
ment of tTeachery to freedom. The people are
right. Their convictions are strong. There are
only needed, to give expression TO their will,
organization and work"

A RADICAL MINISTRY IN BUCHAREsT.-The
new members Of the Bucharest cabinet ali
belong to the radical party. M. Stephen
GolescO, the new Minister President was
Minister Of Foreign Affairs in the late cabinet.
The Minister of Finance is a German, Herr
Ludwig Steege, and filed the same post under
the Cosolnitohano Ministry, during the rule
Of Prince Couza. M. Demetrius Bratiano, who
has been appointed Minister OF Religion and
Public Works, is a brother of the well known
radical leader, John Bratiano; and the remain
ing Ministers, MN. Hadrian, Arion and re.
riakia, are also prominent radicals.

THE TRIAL OF
FIRE-PROOF SAFES.
CMALLENGE ACCEPTED.

Mr. NJ. c. Sadler, Agent of Lilies Safes In
this city, having published in the city papers
offer to burn in test fire, on the 22d instant,
one of Lilies Chilled Iron Safes with one of
our make of like size and thickness, contain
ing Sanborn's Steam Improvement, the test to
be fairly made" we hereby inform him and
the public that we accept the challenge, the de-
tails of the trial to be as follows:-
!. The committee to direct the trial and report
the result to be chosen, three members by each
party and another by these six.
2. The Safes to be of the size burned at Norris
town, and to be made in the usual way of their
respective manufacturers, with walls six inches
in thickness from inside to outside.
g. The trial to be made in an open space. the
safes standing the thickness of one brick above
the ground, and the fire made with dry wood
placed around the safes, and as hot as either
party may desire and to be continued unit
one or the other fe shall fall; the committee
to see that the wood is equally distributed and
the safes exposed alike to the fire; the party
whose safe fails first to pay the whole expense
OF the trial, and the winning party to have the
safes after they are burned.
We will add that we are willing and ready to
go into q trial of Safes with Messrs. Marvin &
Co., Farrel, Herring & Co., and any other par
ties, on the same conditions, and desire the
business men of Philadelphia to be present
and see for themselves that the test is fairly
made.
AS to the accusation of Mr., Sadler, "that we
have conspired to cheat, deceive, and humbug
the community" we consider the source
whence it came. and regard it unworthy OF
notice; and doubtless the officers of the Inter-
State Fair, and the honorable gentlemen of the
committee who superintendent the trial at Nor
ristown, who are also inclu ded in the accusa.
ton, will consider it in the same light.
We have no desire to deceive the community,
nor to injure any mans business but no mans
business has any claim to stand in the way Of
the public good This is not merely personal
matter between safe makers. The public, who
have valuables to preserve. have a right to knOO
what safes are reliable, and what ones aOiU fail
in any severe exposure.

WE REGRET extremely to sse the loss of the
Tioga the fine steamer of the Philadelphia and
Southern Steamship Line. She was a noble
vessel, and but a few months have elapsed
since she first touched the waters of the Della
ware. We hope, however, that the Company
will not be discouraged by the disaster. Their
plan of operations must be successful if pur-
sued to the end, and all the incidental checks
experienced will be overcome under the ex-
cellent management and the energy which
have heretofore marked its conduct. The
captain of the TiOga, as represented, deserves
great credit for GOODNESS and intrepidity; and
that so few lives were lost, is apparently in a
great degree due to his sef-possession.

Mr.. D. P. BROWN claims the privilege of
addressing the citizens of Philadelphia on the
subject of their judicial canvass, because he
is "the oldest practising member of the Phila-
delphia Bar" We can very well believe it
from the tons of his letter, for it savors de-
cidedly more of the last century than it does
of the present. Mr.. Brown is evidently re-
hearsing the days of his youth, and thinks he
is addressing the contemporaries of his early
manhood on the question of embargo in 1872,
or possibly of the United States Bank. He
only differs from Rip Van Winkle in that he is
not yet aroused from his slumbers.

what is the Cause Of all tho Rain


The sun has "a period in about ten
years when he is free from spots The
greatest numbers we're seen about the
years lS42, 1851 and 1862; the least
number, or none, in lS47, 1857 and
1867. Some FIVE or six years ago, when
we had a rainy spring, some would'be
philosophers explained il by the great
number of ophers, which diminished the
usual heat radiating from his surface
but now the same philosophers say that
by its pres mt freedom from spots, and
its consed TGent greater heat, an unusual
quantity of water is evaperated,
and of course has to come down
in rain. They have, indeed, q
handy rule which works both
ways, but they forget that it is not every
where that the same excess OF ram is
falling, but, on the contrary, in the
northwest at the present time there is
not enough of it, and we get the share
rightly belonging to them. II is pretty
we'll established that the heat which the
whole earth receives from the sun is
nearly alike every year, spots or no
spots that the total quantity OF water
evsporated from the ocean, which occu-
pies three fourths of the surface of the
earth, is also alike, and the amount of
rain falling over the whole surface is con
sequently also the same. Every region Of
the earth surface has its yearly share Of
this rain, which, however, differs widely
for different climates, but is rule uni
form. The Northern States, for instance,
receive yearly forty inches, the Southern
more than fifty, and some of the South
western not onetenth of that amount
But occasionally the average quantity is
disturbed, and one part of the country
receives a portion of the share of an
other, for reasons we are unable to
trace; in fact the laws of meteorology
are very complex, and the whole science
is still a most mysterious problem.

And never yer stopped 70 trick my hair-for what

For one who came in those old times,
But cannot como again. "
