The u. q. Supreme COurt--Its
DecislOn I'm the Dlllligau Case.
from the New York Herald, Jan. o.


From the opinion in full Of the Supreme
ether day by Mr.. Justice Davis, in the In
views of Mr.. Chief Justice Chase, We are
enabled TO understand the scope OF this
decision, and the point Of disagreement be.
tween the majority live), and the minority
(four) Of the court.
Upon the actual questions involved the
Judges we're unanimous in their decisions
First. that upon the facts presented writ
Of haheas corpus ought to be issued in be-
half Of Milligsn; second, that on the facts,
as stated in the petition of his counsel, he
ought to be discharged from custody and
third (the important question: that. upon
the facts stated in said petition and exhibits,
the military commission mentioned therein
had no jurisdiction legally 10 Try and sen.
tence said Milligan in the manner and form
a. 10 said petition and exhibits stated. =
Thus the ground taken by the petition in
behalf Of the prisoner is affirmed by the
entire court, to wit-that under the act o
Congress approved. March 3, 1868, entitled
IAN act relating TO habeas corpus and regu
latiDg judicial proceedings in certain cases, :
the military commission under which Mil
| ligan was arrested as q reasonable conspir
ator, tried, condemned to death and belc
10 custody, was illegal and void, these pro
ceedinss having taken place in Indiana
where the civil courts provided by Congress
under the constitution were open and un
obstructed, Notwithstanding the civil wa

opinion, takes the ground that not only wa

Touching the power Of Congress in th

in the market is not surpassed by that Of
any other State or Government In the world.
With such notifications Of her revenue and

steady adherence to just principles, an un-

A thorough revision Of the acts relating

the Auditor recommends the appointment

is required is that energy be infused into her
citizens, and that she be given a fair chance to
recover the ground she has lost. The com
mencement of a regular line Of steamers to
the Southern ports, and the certainty of her
having the Government iron-clad depot erected
within her bounds, ought to infuse new life
into her commerce. and will we hope, mark the
opening of an era of greater energy and pro-
gress than that exhibited during the last
decade. While the palatial homes of her mer-
chants extend themselves towards the west,
new space is opened for the development of
trade; and with that perseverance and dscre.
tion which her mercantile community GER
tainly possess, she can regain the place as
sumed so arrogantly by her aspiring sister.

tion of Hon. Henry Barnard, of Connecti-
cut, as Commissioner of Education, under the
recent law of Congress providing for De-
partment of Education Mr.. Barnard has
long been known as one of the ablest
men connected with the cause of public
schools He has been at the head of the
School Department in the States of Rhode
Island and Connecticut, and in Massachusetts,,
also, we believe. He is an accomplished pub
lie speaker, has made the subject of education
in all its aspects specially for many years,
and will bring to his new position vast fund
OF experience and information The appoint
ment is one eminently eft to be made" and
augurs well for the usefulness and success of
the new Department of Education.

ILLINOIS CENTRAL RAmRoAD.-The annual
report Of the Illinois Central Railroad conveys
better idea of the growth of that State than
any panegyric. 1t states that the earnings
for the past year amount $G, SAG, 74l'j6, show
ing a deficit as compared with 1865, of $G34,-
456'90; the operation expenses, $4.37l, 294'O9,
being $634 990'18 less than in 1865; and the
net earnings, 81, l7j, ,447'3S, against 80, 174,-
924'lO in lS65-being about the same as last
year. The deficit, as compared with the pre-
vious year, appears entirely in the passenger
traffic, and is owing to the closing up of the
war and consequent falling off in the trans
portation of troops. The immense amount of
traffic, and the increasing development of the
resources of the West, is best evidenced by
the transportation of this one road.
