Part Of nm Omcfai.
These times are pregnant with prece-
dents for the guidance of allfuture gov
ernments. The attorney, counselor or
Judge win scarcely be compelled to search
very far for extraordinary cases in point
for the decision of any new case or form
alton of bis opinion in any cause that may
arise in the future. Our understanding
is that sheriff IL nothing more than an
executive officer, and is not required. by
the duties Of his Office to decide matter Of
law and a Jurisdiction Of courts. These
questions are left alone to the courts
themselves, which were constituted for
the purpose. We would not attempt
TO discuss the jurisdiction of the NUM-
cipnl Court, or whether Judge Foute had
the authority to issue the writ in the
case of Dickens, for that is properly
question for the courts to determine. But
we hold that Sheriff Curry could not
stop in the discharge of his duties TO in
quire into q nice point Of jurisdiction,
as the order Of the court is sufficient for
his protection, and he is not responsible
for the assumption Of jurisdiction, should
there be any in the matter of bringing
the prisoner before the court issuing the
writ. The following is the order Of Judge
Foute, and the Sherif's return on the
writ:

Memphis, September l, 1869.
Upon the question Of the Jurisdiction
of the Municipal Court to issue writs of
habeas corpus, the legal bar were divided
in opinion, which leads to the conclusion
that the point was nice one to deter
mine. But upon full hearing of all the
authorities and the argument of able
attorneys on both sides, the Court decided
that it had jurisdiction to issue the writ,
which was done. By what legal authority
Sheriff Curry would assume to refuse
compliance with the direction oftheCourt,
we are not informed. We are only fear
full that officers of the law will sometimes
permit their political feelings to interfere
with them in the ordinary discharge Of
duties, about which they should have the
smallest concern individually.

ROUNDABOUT.
Grant Fighting Ills Battles Over.

The Chicago Times says: "When
Grant attacked Lee, it was the case of
dozens to one Grant is now very much
in the position in which he once had
the Confederate leader. His foes out
numbcr him hundreds to one. He is at
tackled by Congress, by the opposition,
by the limitless hordes of office seekers.
His cats tail is no longer the longest
His victories, thus far, have been crush
ing, although disguised defeats. He
had his Wilderness in the Cabinet. He
has Spottsylvania Court House in the
fight over the tenure of Office bill. He is
now getting his Coal Harbor in his
bloody conflict with the office-seekers.
In every one of these, as iii the case of
Lee, he has won apparently victory,
but has suffered in reality an exhaust
ing defeat. The more slaughter he
makes among his enemies, the more
there appear to be of them, as was the
case with Lee when he struggled and
fought to gain Richmond. A pertinent
question is, will Grant endure long
enough to flight it out on this line, if
it takes all summer p BY the time the
oflice-hunters have finished with him,
and lie has been ground to power be-
tween those two mill stones, the House
and the Senate, this question Will be ans
wered.

Twitchell, recently convicted of the
murder of his mother in-law, Mrs. Hill,
has made the following confession:
81 went to my room OH the night of
the murder, and, instead Of going to
bed, | lay down on the lounge which
was in my room, and fell asleep. My
wife was on the bed ut the time. / was
aroused at her repeated calls, and ran
down to the dining room, where | found
her much excited, saving: II have had
a quarrel with mother and killed her"
| do not know whether she said save
me- or help me hiGe it, but at last we
threw the body of Mrs. Hill out of the
window to make it look as if she fell
out. 4 went down stairs and washed
my hands and face at the hydrant, and
then went to my room, undressed and
went to bed My wife came up after
ward and got into bed, where we staid
until Sarah Campbell rang the bell. 1
think we were in bed ten or twenty min
utcs. I made a solemn VOW to Eternal
God that night would never reveal, but
l can not keep it any longer. / am sor-
ry that said l knew nothing of it, and
/ did it with the VOW in my mind, and
to save my wife. I now make the dis
closure that I may have peace with
God.

Reconstruction q Failure.

The failure of freconstructien-that is
to.say, the tendency of States reconstruc-
ted to go back on the Radical party af-
ter very brief experience-troubles that
party very much. They don't know
what to do with Georgia or Louisiana,
and they fear about Texas, Mississippi,
and Virginia. The new voters attaining
their majority in year or two will not
be reached by test-oaths, and they are a
terrible obstacle. Here reconstruction
fails utterly, and the only remedy is to
fall back on Herod's idea, and slay all
who are under twenty one years of age
This would make reconstruction sue
cess, and it is the only effectual plan that
can be suggested. Why does not But
