THE NEW PERIL.

The ease of Lamdin p. Milligan and
othsrsy convicted during the war be-
fore Military Commission, summon
ed by Maj. Gen. Alvin P. Hovey, COM
manding the District Of Indiana, Of
conspiracy, has been before the Su-
preme Court of the United States
The defendants were sentenced to
death, bat the sentence was commuted
by President Lincoln to Imprisonment
In the Ohio Penitentiary during life
The Judges of the Court are unanimous
in declaring that trials Of civilians by
Military Courts, in States where the
Courts are unobstructed, are illegal !;
but minority Of the Court (Chlef-
Justice Chase, and Justices Wayne,
Swayne and Miller) declare that Con-
gress has power to legalize such trials
in times of great public danger. The
Ave other Justices (Greer, Clifford,
Davis. Nelson and Field) declare that
no such power exists; that the country
has no power to protect itself, at times
of the most imminent peril, except
through the slow process of the courts.
This is the dictun of FIVE lawyers--af-
ter the PROFILE, who make Supreme
Courts and Constitutions, have settled
these questions by muskets and can
non--the last resort of nations. These
questions have been settled by the
People, and these gentlemen lawyer,
now propose to reverse their verdict
We print herewith quotations from
the New York Herald and Washington
Chronicle, to which we direct tn,
thoughtful attention Of our people.
