1t is reported by many (says the
Memphis Bulletin that assent by the
South to the Constitutional Amend
ment is least of all desirable to the
Stevens wing of the Radical party.
Undoubtedly so. They prefer that
she should be held under Martial Law,
which is simply the law of a Military
commander, rather than that she should
govern herself, for in the latter event
she would have probably deciding
vote in the Presidential election and
voice in the Legislative branch OF
the Government.

DECISIONS Of THE HIGH COURT
OF
ERRORS AND APPEALS.
OCTOBER TERM, 1866

% ,s benjamin l. Hatch Error cd to the h Cir
r. M Roberts & Co roe County.
The opinion of the Court dclirered by Justice
Harris:
The defendants in error commenced their
action of trespass in the Circuit Court OF
Monroe county to recover damages Of plain
tiff in error for Selling and appropriatfng to
his own use quantity of whisky.
The plaintiff in error filed three special
pleas, presenting the following state of
facts That the plaintiff in error was hold
ing the office of Provost Marshall of the
City ofAberdeen, and that there were sew
eral large hospitals there filed with the
wounded soldiers of the Confederate army
from the battles of Shiloh and Corinth, and
also with sick soldiers from diseases of the
camp, and that whisky was necessary as a
medicine for their safety, and there was inn
mediate pressing necessity for its use to save
human life, that there was no other whisky
in their reach, that defendants in error re-
fused to sell it, and that by order of supe-
rior officer, he took eighty gallons of said
whisky, which he delivered over to the
proper officer for the use of the soldiers and
sick and wounded so needingit.
To these pleas demurrer was filed, which
was taken nnder advsement, and memo
randum of the Circuit Judge was subse-
quently fled among tho papers sustaining
said demurrer.
But no entry was ever made on the record
and no Judgment ever entered.
Subsequently the cause progressed to trial
upon fourth plea, and a jury and verdict
was had for the plaintiff below. There was
a motion for new trial, which was refused,
and Judgment entered for the defendant in
error. N
The cause is brought TO this Court by writ
of error and it is insisted that the rendition
of Judgment upon the verdict of the jury
upon the fourth plea without a disposition
of the demurrer TO the three preceding
pleas, is erroneous.
In the case of MARROW vs.. Hamer, 6 How.
Miss. R., p 1s9, it has been held by this
Court, that when plaintiff elects to demur
to plea which he even might have treated
as nullity, Judgment without dispo-
sition of the demurrer, will be erroneous.
The case of Harper VS.. Bondurant is to the
same effect, 9TH s & NJ, p. s97.
We cannot notice the argument made as
to the propriety of the Judgment of the Court
below on the demurrer, as the record shows
no such Judgment Nor can we notice the
objections made to the instructions of the
Court, as the record shows that such obiec-
tiOns were not made in the Court below, but
are made here for the first time.
Let the judgment be reversed, case remain
ded, and a ueHire de moro awarded.

The SHERMAN BILL TO BE ENFORCED.
The order of Gen. Grant for the en-.
forcement of the Sherman bill, and the
recognition of the legal force of this
bill by the President and his cabinet,
leave no doubt that the whole govern
ment, with the contingent, but not GER
tain exception of the Supreme Court,
is practically a unit in respect to the
measure. More than this, it is only
too evident, from the tone of leading
conservative papers in the North, that
the whole Northern people are pre-
pared to stapd, practically, as a unit
in yielding passive assent, and if need
be active support, to the policy of
Congress, as couched in this enact
ment, or in any other which that body
may see ct to adopt-N. o. Crescent

The IiIitnrx RiII.

Reports from Washington remove
all doubt as to the purpose of thu
President in regard to the execution o
the Military Bill. He is preparing t.
put it into operation, just as we suppos
ed he intended to do when he declined
availing himself Of the opportunity to
defeat it by pocket veto.
1t is rumored that Gen. Grant re-
commended the following assignments
of Commanders to the several Dis
tricts
First--Virginia and North Carolina,
General SoHoFIELD.
Second-South Carolina and Geor-
gia, General SICKLEs
Third-Arkansas and Mississippi,
General THOMAS.
Fourth Florida and Alabama, Gen
eral GRANGER.
Fifth-Louisiana and Texas, Cen
eral HANCOCK.
But it is reported that the President
has submitted the names of Gems.
Sherman, Meade and Mcdowell, for
those of Sickles, Granger and Thomas.

Recent intelligence from Washing
ton leave no ground for doubt that
Congress will pass bill supplemental
to the military law, requiring the militia
ny commander to cause a registration Of
voters in each State prior to the LIST OF
September; and that he shall then
cause an election for delegates TO a
Convention. These powers he may
delegate to the provisional" Govern
ment on his taking the oath faithfully
to conform with the law. The Con-
vention will decide whether the State
will remain under martial law, or ac-
cept the constitutional amendment.

The Action of Virginia.

We have important news from the
Old Dominion. She has acted with
out delay in the emergency created by
recent events. After the passage of
the law submitting to the Southern
States the alternative of being gov
erned by Martial Law, administered by
an unsympathetic and infiexible Mil
itary Commander who is stranger
to their people, except in the knowl-
edge which he has acquired of them
in the war for their subjugation-or
ofaccepting the Constitutional Amend
ment--her Legislature met in extra
session and by a nearly unanimous
vote passed bill for holding a Con-
vention at an early day.
The bill originated in the Senate,
and the House very properly amended
it by adding to the call for the Con-
vention, a protest against the Consti-
tutionality of the Sherman bill.
In addition to the above intelligence,
we have the following special telegram
to the New Orleans Times:
WASHINGTON, March 9.-The Vir-
giania delegation, among whom are
the late Confederate Com missioner of
exchange of prisoners,( Col. ould } has
been in consultation with the admins
tration as to the B1odas operandi of
organizing that State under the mil
itary government act, and to-day had
an interview with the President, in
which they announced their intention
of Immediately inaugurating steps to
call a convention and go through the
entire requirements of the act
There is no longer any doubt that the
South will speedily organize under the
Military Government act, and send at
the earliest day possible their Repre-
sentatives to Congress This, they
say, is the best course to pursue in or
der to avoid the further disastrous
effects Of the terrible siroceo Of radi-
calism that is passing over them.
The very perfection Of love letter,
according to Rousseau, is that it should
be begun without the writer knowing
what he is going to say, and ending
without knowing what he bad said.

Well knowing the desire Of the peo-
pie, in the present extraordinary con-
juncture of affairs, to be informed OF
the views of the men in whom they
have been accustomed to place their
trust, and exercising a discretion
kindly given us, we have published in
to-day's paper letter from Col. D. c.
Glenn, one of the favorite, as well as
one of the ablest sons of Mississippi.
His iudicious counsel cannot fail to
command respect. His opinions bear
theimpress of the perfect frankness and
sincerity by which their utterance has
always been marked. No one who
does not feel himself to be the grovel-
ling slave of selfishness will call in
question the purity of the motives by
which men are guided in the position
they may assume on the questions of
the day; but if there be such, it is
only necessary to say, in the case Of
the writer of this letter, that he gives
convincing proof Of his patriotism by
advising his countrymen to adopt a
measure which will exclude him from
public life. Upon this point we can
not resist the publication of an extract
from the late letter of Gov. Brown:
"The decree has gone forth that some of
u.s. myself among others, who were called
to lead our people and direct public af-
fairs during the late unhappy struggle,
shall be DISTINGUISHED, and at least politi-
caly sacrificed. If the sympathes of those
whom we represented were not with us,
they would be less than human. But is
it best that they cling to us till they have
made boggars of their wives and children,
and plunged themselves into irretriev-
able ruin, when their fidelity can do us no
good think not. Justice to their wives
and children require, that we do not encour-
age them in this course. And above all, if
peace, quiet and returning prosperity can be
restored to our unhappy country by the sac
rifce, we should make it without further
hesitation or DELAY"

forbidding it:
