Tho McArdle Case.

The celebrated McArdle case, in the United
States Supreme Court, has been decided,
Chief Justice Chase delivered the opinion, dis
missing the case "for want Of jurisdiction. -
McArdle, it will be remembered, was the
Vicksburg (Miss.) editor arrested by General
Ord, tried by military commission, and i'm
prisoned in 1867 for printing "sedtious arti-
Giles" in the Vicksburg Times. On the trial
by military commission the accused refused
to plead and plea of not guilty was entered
for him. The United States Circuit Court in
Mississippi granted writ of habeas corpus.
The court held that the question presented
involved the constitutionaity of the act of
Congress, 1.-THE reconstruction act,) in virtue
Of which Gen. Ord placed McArdle under ar
rest, and be decided that act to be constitu-
tional, thus deciding that the prisoner was
subject to arrest and to trial before a military
commission. He was therefore remanded
and the case came into the United States Su-
preme Court on an appeal from this decision,
with the result above.

The St. Mary's Beacon of last week say

The st. Mary's Beacon OF last week says:
The activity displayed by those who have
been appointed to receive subscriptions to the
Southern Maryland Railroad, and the ready
response of the people to meet the demand
made on them, indicate an early commence
ment of operations on this road. We hope
the work will go on bravely; that the Com
missioners will exert all the energy in their
power to canvass for subscriptions, and pre-
sent to the public generally the exceedingly
great advantages which this road will be to
both the city of Washington and Baltimore,
in gardening point of view; and also, in
connecting itself with the Point of Rocks road
and the Loudon and Hampshire road, making
a close connection between the West, the coal
regions of Maryland and Virginia, and tide
water at Point Lookout. Washington city
alive to her interest, is taking steps to make
an appropriation of $500 900, which will be
road. We hope our Baltimore friends will
also aid us.
The Baltimore american says:
On the closing day of its session, the Leg
islature of West Virginia passed bill incor-
porating the Potomac and Ohio Railroad, with
authority to construct railroad from any
point on the Potomac, west of Harper's Fer
~, to the Ohio at any point south of Park
ersburg, by way of the South Branch Valley.
This, it is understood, is to be consolidated
with the Loundon and Hampshire Railroad
10 part, so as to aid, and probably insure the
early completion of that road to the coal
fields, and extend it from the crossing of the
South Branch of the Potomac onward to the
Ohio.
The National Aateuigeneer of Monday says:
We learn with great satisfaction that Mr..
Garrett intends to equip the Point of Rocks
yer Spring early in June. We predict that
it will he much used tor picnics, excursions,
&c., and therefore, be source of considera-

W
the adjournment of the Convention called to
ascertain che will Of the people, and for which
the people have been patiently waiting for
nearly Eve weeks. How or from what cause
the Con vention failed of its object is not for
us to state. The object for which the Con-
ventiou was called was one affecting the inte-
rests Of every citizen of the county and it
cannot but be regretted that the meeting
should have been dissolved without any ex-
preston of opinion whatever. Had the Con-
vention come to any determination upon the
matter, the Commissioners would undoubted-
ly have abided by the expression Of the peo-
pies will. As the matter now stands. 1t
seems q matter of doubt whether the Com
missioners have really decided upon the final
disposition Of the fund. Various and con-
Trajectory assertions are made by the friends
of the two roads; though there is little doubt
that three of the Board are in favor Of giving
Che whole sum to the Baltimore and Potomac
road. Whether they have really and finally
appropriated the money tas we said before)
Il matter Of dispute. The question in fact
hinges upon the action Of the Board in March
LAST, when it was announced by letter Of the
Clerk to Governor Bowie from which letter
the Times of the 18th ultimo quoted), that
the whole fund had been disposed Of to the
Baltimore and Potomac road, upon certain
conditions to be hereafter specified. The i'm
preston having gone abroad that the action
OF the Board as announced iu the Times was
final, tho matter again came before the Board
at their second meeting, and upon the ques-
sion Of the adoption Of the Port Tobacco reso-
-l..;e.a, il mas left undacidai-txn voting for,
two against; aud one not voting. Since
that meeting, as we learn from one Of
the Commissioners, the subject has not been
taken up for action. It will thus be seen
that the question rests just where it did
on The 10th Of March last (the day Of the
FIRST meeting Of the Board).
This action being the subject Of contention,
the will Of the people, as expressed in the
Convention, would have been an unerring
guide to the Commissioners which they would
have respected and acted upon. As it has
turned out, the Commissioners have derived
little or no knowledge Of the peoples wishes
Besides grave doubts are expressed by many
whether their action will be unanimous, and
thus the way may be paved to needless COM
p|ications and embarrassments.
For ourself we have little doubt of the 6nal
result. Yet, had the Convention spoken, we
believe the expression Of its will would have
reconciled conflicting interests, and the finale
scould have been the same.
