GRANTS PLEDGES,

1t is well-knOwn that Grant pledged
the President that he would not relin~
quish the War Office without giving him
timely notice of his purpose to do so.
That he violated this promise is equally
well known. Itappears that he made, at
the same time, precisely contrary pledge
to the Radicals. The Washington corr
respondent of the Baltimore Gazette, on
the Sth inst, a week before the action of
the Senate, wrote:
81 hear to-day, upon good authority,
that Gen. Grant, upon categorical ques-
ton, declared that he would accede to
the behests of Congress rather than the
orders of the President in any case
which involved the jurisdiction of the
executive and Legislative branches of
the government"
This was not particularly noted at the
time; but subsequent events invest it
with peculiar significance, since it shows
that while Grant was making solemn
pledges to the President, he was at the
same time harloting with his enemies,
and pledging fidelity to them. Grant is
thus presented as an eminently worthy
object of Radical esteem. They ought
to nominate him for the Presidency, by
all means.

THE RADICAL CONVENTION YES
TERDAY

The Radicals Of Tennessee had a pow
WOW at the Capitol yesterday according
to previous appointment " They ap-
pointed delegates to the national cOnven-
ton to be held in May, at Chicago; ex-
pressed a preference for Grant for Pres
ident; let the Vice Presidency 60 by de-
fault; appointed an executive committee
of mixed colors; took other steps to Or
ganize for the campaign speechifed
strengthened each other in the faith, and
adjourned. The full details will be found
in our report of the proceedings. There
was nothing to distinguish it from other
similar Radical assemblages, except that
it wore the look of a meeting preparatory
to a grand funeral, in anticipation of the
arrival of the corpse
Ii was harmonious. The Washington
Directory had shaped its action before
hand and Stokes and Fowler were sent
on to present the decree, and see it car
ried into effect No Tennessee Radical
has an opinion of his own in relation to
national politics All that part of the
business is done at Washington, and what
is done here is simply to repeat the words
and obey the commands of the prompters
there
The nomination of Grant in Tennessee,
under such circumstances, shows how
the winds are blowing at headquarters,
and gives Chase to understand that he
must vigorously push his combinations,
or the gig is up with him.

from the false Judgment of court which
has authority to try him, he must be inn
mediately relieved. Relief postponed is
not relief at all. In no case can any court
permit the sword Of public vengeance TO be
dOubtfully suspended over the head
Of a citizen for an indefinite time. But
there is another reason which would induce
you to take this case up Immediately, even
if it were at the foot of the docket. In the
exercis of your great power, You do not
merely decide cases, you lay down rules for
the conduct of others who may find them
selves in like condition. You never give
naked Judgment. You accompany it
with the reasons, so that all men may know
how far they are within the principles you
sanction. You are the great teachers Of the
people in regard to those things which con-
Germ their temporal salvation, and in pro-
portion as you pefcrm that duty, will i'll
in that portion are you fit or unfit for the
high places which you fill. Here is a sub
ject on which your lessons are most
especially needed. This is not the only
military commission that has have been
set up. In all that large region
of country from the Potomac to the Gulf of
Mexico military commissions have become
so much the fashion that they have almost
entirely superseded courts and juries. They
infiict all manner of punishments. Three
men are held by them under sentence of
death, and hundreds are languishing I'M
| der their orders in various kinds of i'm
prisonment. Every officer who is or may
be engaged in carrying out these proceed
ings is deeply interested in knowing, as
soon as possible, how the law regards him.
From the President and the General Of the
army down to the-lowest Jack Ketch in
their service, it is to the last degree inn
| portant that they should know when they
hang a man whether their act is iustiGable
homicide or felonious murder. If they are
engaged in the performance of lawful
| duty, it will surely be an infinite relief to
be assured of it by decision of this court.
| The people ought to know it too, so that they
may learn TO submit quietly to evils which
cannot be cured. Then, if they do not en-
| joy the blessings of liberty, they will at
least have the repose Of despotism, which
| is, perhaps, the next best thing. But, If it
should be finally held that these commits
sions are all wrong and void, it is horrid
| cruelty not to say so at once. Would my
learned brother, for any mere political con-
sideration, encourage public officers to rush
on in headlong ignorance at the risk of be-
ing branded as criminals in the future? Ii
you do decide hereafter that their acts are
no protection TO them against the charges
of kidnapping, robbery and murder, how
will they feel toward those who prevented
a decision in time to save them from those
crimes? If the blood be suffered to accu-
mulate upon their heads for two or three
years more, there will not be rain enough
in the sweet heavens to wash them white
again

THE McCARDLE CASE.

This suit originating in Mississippi I'M
der the authority of the Military District
Commander, of which that State is part,
is likely to become one of the causes
celebreS. The facts are familiar to the
public, and it is unnecessary to recapitu-
late them They reach the extreme
range Of illegality yet touched by re-
construction" laws, and the principles
involved go to the very foundation of re-
publican institutions as established by
the constitution Of the United States. If
a Judgment is given at this term of the
court it will inform the people, whether,
in time of peace, civil law is or is not
supreme over every form Of military law
as affecting the rights and privileges of
citizens not in the military service and
whether any law contrayening this
fundamental principle is in accordance
with the constitution
On the 18th inst, the motion to bring
this case forward upon the docket of the
supreme Court so as to secure decision
at the present term, was argued before
that tribunal by Judges Trumbull and
Hughes against the motion, and Judge
Black and Gov Sharkey in favor Of it.
The motion prevailed, and the case set
apart for argument on the frat Monday
in March. As pertinent to the subject
we give the following extract from Judge
Blacks Speech 10 the court:
lf the accused party ia guilty, and the
proceeding against him is legal, che high
est interests of society require that he
shonld be punished without delay. IL he

In reply 10 a committee Of the Louisiana
Peconstrnction Convention, who asked
Gen Hancock what course he would take
in case the State courts interferred with
the collection Of the tax, the General has
stated that to anticipate any such illegal
action would be improper, and that 1t wiil
be time enough to consider 1t when the
emergency arises. 1t is 4 significant TACT
