The National Iatelligencer, of the oath,
says: The McCardle case presents precisely
the same point which the supreme court
unanimously decided to be unconstitutional
in the Milligan case--namely, the trial of
a citizen by military commission in time Of
peace.
We find the above published in the city
papers, without comment. If the LateRi-
ge0eer had stated the case fairly and prop
erly it would have said that the case Of
MeCardle differs from the Milligan case in
a very essential particular. The latter oc-
Cured in the state of Indiana, in which the
authority of the United States has always
been fully recognized, and the courts, both
state and federal, in uninterrupted opera
ton. The other case occurred in Missis-
sippi, wherein the state government has
been overthrow by the rebellion; where
the course Of justice has been obstructed by
armed enemies Of the government, and the
civil Offices, legislative, executive, and
judicial declared vacated by the SUI
preme power of tho nation. In Mis-
sissippi the commanding general of
the United States army has been clothed
with the power to appoint tribunals
to try offenders against the laws, while no
such authority was given to any one Ia
Indiana. In the one case courts were in
existence clothed with full power, and hav-
ing the disposition to vindicate the laws.
In the other all these conditions were want
ing. Judge Hall, in deciding the MceardIe
case, remarked that no state tribunals ex-
listed in Mississippi which were not, in fact,
the creatures Of the commanding generals
will. When it can be shown that Misais-
sippi is precisely suck a state as Indiana,
il will then appear that the McCardle case
presents points precisely similar to that Of
Milligan, and not before.

Mr.. Denison OF speculation in and embez-
element Of government funds. AS the ev.-
denee exists showing the utter falsity of
those charges, it seems due to justice that
it should be made known, and that the col
umns through which they were uttered
should assist the friends Of Mr.. Denison in
giving to it as wide publicity as it gave
to those charges.
Mr.. Denison died in the month of August,
1865, some months previous to the pub
LEGATION Of this letter. He died trusted
by the government he had faithfully
served, beloved and honored by humid
reds he had aided in want and
distress, and bitterly mourned by the many
near to him by blood and friendship. His
official duties were always discharged with
accuracy and fidelity. That this is true, is
proved by the fact that the numerous and
complicated accounts of the government
with bis estate, relating to his transactions
as agent Of the treasury in Louisiana, and
afterward in Texas, and as collector of the
port of New Orleans, have just been closed,
in December, 1867, and that, by its own ad-
missien, the government is in debt to his
estate in the sum of S2S7. Only the
hatred of rebel and foe to loyalst-
a hatred so intense as to obscure the judg
ment-could have prompted the invention
of such ISLANDERS against such man. To
vindicate my brothers memory, let the
truth be known.

NEWSPAPER NOMINATIONS.

Yesterday our neis hbor in Exchange
alley announced its candidates for governor
and lieutenant governor. Without the
pretense Of any nomination whatever, or
even the Endorsement of a ward club, it
gravely says, ave have come to the con-
clusion to hoist at the head of our columns
the names OF two gentlemen" and with
great kindness lets us understand that the
balance of the ticket will be forthcoming
at its earliest convenience" Truly this
whole matter has passed from the vexatious
into the ridiculous. That an Insignificant
newspaper, the present position of which is
almost unanimously disapproved by
its former friends, should assume to-
make nominations for eighty odd Thousand
Radical Republicans is something Aereto-
fore unheard of in the history Of parties
or assumptions. We are inclined to think
the Tribune is not serious, but is practieing
big joke for the amusement of its rebel
friends. Surely it does not think that it
owns and controls all the loyal people
of Louisiana.
We do not for one moment believe that
the names Of the gentlemen announced as
candidates have been used with +" their
knowledge and consent any more than
the name of the Hon. Thomas j. Durant
was used by the same paper with his
F" knowledge and consent" Both gentle
men were before the state nominating con-
vention, and will of course abide by the
decision OF that convention.
Our kindly feeling for the Tribune, and
its record in the past, induce us still to
hope that it will return from its wanderiDgs
and go hand in hand with us for the sake
of reconstruction and the success of the
Radical Republican party.
Men are as nothing in presence Of the
great issues which are before us, and pas
sion and prejudice and ambition should
have no place in cur councils. The
masses of the people have determined that
the party shall be united in support of the
nominees of its convention and so it is
now, and SO it will continue to be-

anism, put together by the skill Of
man, and that all that it needs
to keep it in respectable standing with
other nations and to look we'll to all who
curiously examine it, is little upholster-
ing now and then and revarnishing to
keep the worms from eating into its frame
work. Is it net time the nation, in lam
guage not to be misunderstood, taught these
old men that with the carpenter theory of
the universe the carpenter theory of states
and nations has also disappeared, and that
until they discard theories long since explod-
ed and almost forgotten by the great men of
the world the reverence that should be due
to them will be withheld by watchfIl
people.

HON. aBoRGB E. BOVBB,

In the Hon. George E. Bovee the mechan-
les of Louisiana have a worthy representa-
tive.
In 1862 he moved from Port Gibson,
Mississippi, where he had been prosecuted
for his Union sentiments, to New Orleans,
and Immediately after the capture of the
city by Admiral Farragut identified him
self with the Republican party, and from
that time until the present moment has
been a jealous champion of all its prin-
ciples. In 1864 be had so far gained the
confidence Of his party as to DO elected to
the free stats legislature from the fourth
ward in this city, which position he filled
with credit to himself and his constituents.
For the past two years he has residedin the
parish Of st. James, where he has been rec
ognized as one of the most active and efficient
partissns.
He will receive the entire vote of his
party and make an admirable secretary of
state.
