Important Decision.

An interesting decision was pronounced
in the United States court yesterday by
Judge Miller. One Murphy, charged with
boat burning, was tried by military COM
mission, In st. Louis, and being found guilty
was sentenced to ten years imprisonment in
the Missouri penitentiary. This was in 1865.
Some time last spring Mr.. Garesche, of coun-
sci to the prisoner, procured writ of ha-
beas corpus. had Murphy brought before
Judge Miller, aud the case judicially review
ed. After debate pro and con, the Judge
pronounced his decision, holding the convic-
ton and imprisonment to be illegal, the in
demnity act of I'd March, 1867, invalid, and
remanded the prisoner to the legal tribunals
of the country and a jury trial. This judg-
ment is. based upon the well known decision
of the United States supreme court in the
Milligan ct al case, and upsets proceedings
and findings of military commissions and
arbitrary arrests. Time sets all things right,
and these good times seem to be reversing
the judgment and decisions of many radical
measures and men. They will all be upset
before fong--this one is another stride in
the right direction.-Spriagfetd tIN.) Reg

A WORD TO THE WISE.

There is said TO be a species of wisdom
which is penny wise and pound fool
ish" A wisdom that confines itself to
the present alone, and fails to derive
from the experience of the past that
knowledge which will prove useful in
the future. As an evidence of this we
cite the business man who with fair
share of ability, honesty and capital, fol-
lows legitimate business for years, and
is but little better off in this world S
others around him amass riches, increase
their business, and attain distinction.
The history of the successful men of this
city, and every other, within the last
twenty-five years, establishes the fact
that there is one requisite to prosperity,
which neglected, makes it an impossi-
bility to attain the front rank, whatever
may be the other elements of success.
That requisite is to bring the business
conspicuously and persistently before the
public through the medium of the press.
The American people are an enterpris-
ing, progressive, intelligent, reading peo-
pie, and they patronize those whose
names are kept constantly before them
as business men. To this more than to
any other cause Barnum, Bonner, Spaul-
ding, Townsend, Holloway, Drake and a
host of others. owe the immense for
tunes they have accumulated in a few
years The cabalistic S-T-1S60-X is

of the people, and in six years he has

THE SITUATION.

When six years ago the traitors of the
South cast OFF the federal authority and
trained their stolen artillery against
that flag which is the emblem of the
free, there came a crisis upon the people,
and it was met with bold, united front
that astonished even ourselves. As the
war progressed, there came a time when
powerful enemy, elated with victory
and confident of success, swept around
the national capital, and poured their
legions into the northern States, tri-
umphant and unimpeded. Then came
the crisis TO our armies, and with bated
breath and anxious hearts, the people
waited until the legions of Grant, from
the parapets of Vicksburg, responded to
the victorious shouts from Cemetery
Hill, " "All's well - And now, there has
come third crisis, in our legislative
councils, while the people and the army
are awaiting with anxious solicitude TO
hear the inspiring insurance, the blood
of your sons and comrades has not been
shed in vain" The rejection of the con-
stitutional amendments, and the differ
ences existing between the legislative,
judicial and executive heads of the gov
ernment, are subjects well calculated TO
awaken anxiety in q people who prize
their liberty and glory in their free insti-
tutions. The conciliatory tone of the
Presidential message, admitting by its
presentation, to them the constitution
ality Of Congress, which he had publicly
characterized as a rump organization =
the avoidance of all overt acts of hostil-
ity toward it and the apparently sub
dued temper of the radical leaders pre-
vioustlto the holiday adjournment, all
led to the belief that their differences
would be amicably adjusted and hence
forth work in harmony. During the ad-
iourament, however, the decisions of the
Supreme Court in regard to the military
commissions, the Civil Right and Freed
mems Bureau bills, and the assertion of
the President that at an early day the
constitutional amendment abolishing
slavery. and which has been ratified by
a sufficient number of States, would be
declared null and void by the same
court, have produced the most intense
excitement in Congress and emhittered
