Dick Dailey's Stump Speech.

Fellcr Citizens This are day for

bobtailed pullet off a rickety hen
roost, to be lookin' up where are we?
Here / is, and I'd expatiate here from

Feller Citizens: Jerusalem to pay,
and we hain't got no pitch. Our

igated righteousness? Methinks l

Then 'lect me to Congress, and
there'll be revolution, sure.
Fetler Citizens: If l was standing
on the adamantine throne of Jupiter,
and the lightnin' was clashin, around
me, I'd continue to shout! I've
sprung leak, and must howl like a
bear with sore head I'm full of
the bilin lather of Mount Etna, and
Iwon't be qucnched. Flop together,
jump into the ranks, and hear me
through.
Feiter Citizens: You know me; aud

MAsutNaToN, December 3l.--Iu the elaborate
opinion OF Dir. Justice Davis against the constitu-
tlonaty OF the trial OF citzons by Military Courts
the following raeraphs appear: 1t can never be
in country of written constitutions. with q judi
clal department to interpret them. that any Chief
Magistrate would be 50 far forgetful of his duty
as to order the execution of o man who had dc
MED the jurisdiction that tried and convicted him.
The case afterwards had been brought before
Federal Judges, with power to decide it, who
being urablo to agrec in the grave question it IN
volvcd had according to known law, sent It 10
the Supreme Court of the United States for deci-
the Executive and we dismiss it from further
consideration. There is therefore nothing to
hinder this Court from an investigation OF
the merits OF this controversy. The control
ling question in the case is this: Upon the
facts ststed in Mulligan' petition and exhibits
filed, had the Military Commission mentioned in
the exhibits jurisdiction to sentence A[ulligan, he
not being 4 resident of the rebelious States or n
prisoner Of war-a resident Of Indiana for twenty
years past and never in the military or naval SER
vice-s, while at his home arrested by the militia
ry power of the United States. imprisoned, and,
on cert in criminal charges brought against him,
tried convicted and sentenced to be hanged by
Military Commission organized under the direction
of the commander OF the Military District of In
diana. Had this tribunal the legal power and
authority to try and punish this man No gravcr
question was ever considered by this Court. nor
one which moro nearly concerns the rights of the
American citizen, when charged with crime, to be
tried and punished according to law. The power
of punishment is alone through the means which
the laws have provided for that purpose, and if
thoy are Intellectual, there is an immunity from
punishment, no matter how grave an offender the
Individual may be, or how much his crimes may
have shocked the sense of justice of the country
or endangered it's safety
