Opinion Of the Supreme Court in the
Indiana Conspiracy case.

Washington, December 3i.--The
opinion Of the supreme Court, in case
Of L. p MiIligan or Indiana conspir-
acy case, on certificate Of division
OF opinion between the Judges ofthe
Circuit Court, District Of Indiana,
has been officially promulgated. The
opinions Of the Judges Of the Circuit
Court were opposed on three ques-
tons, viz. first on the fact stated in
the petition and exhibits, onght
writ OF haleQS corpus to be issued
Second, on the fact stated, ought
said Milligan to be discharged from
custody ? Third, whether the Mill
tary Commission had jurisdiction to
legally try and sentence MiIligan
Juage Davis, who delivered the OPP
pinion of the majority OF the Court,
held that it was clear that a writ
ought to issue. and that Mlligan was
entitled to be discharged. That the
trial by Military Commission was
contrary to law; that as citizen OF
Indiana, which was not in rebellion.
and not being IN the military service,
he was amena4le only to civil law.
and not military law that one ofthe
pIaincst Of constitutional provisions
was violated when he was tried by
court not authorized and ordained by
law, and another guarantee Of free
dom was broken when be was den
led trial by jury. The first two
questions We're decided allirmativelv,
and the third negatively Chief JUS
tice Chase a-| three others dissented
as to the third question, holding it
to be within the power Of Congress
in time Of danger or invasion, to de-
termine in what States or districts
persons may BIC tried by military
tribunals n this, however, they
were oyerruled by the majority Of
the court In the course Of the pro
ceedinas, il is remarked that " Tie
constitution is a law for rulers and
people equally in war and in peace,
and covers with the shield Of its pro
lection all classes Of men, at all times
and under all circumstances, and no
doctrine involving more pernicious
consequences wa, ever invented by
the Wit Of man than that any Of its
provisions can be suspended during
any OF the great eXicencies Of the
Government. Such doctrine leads
directly to anarchy and despotiom.
