.nIrE PR0CFss OFLAW.,,


The Constitution of the United States
declares that ''no person shall be
deprived of life, liberty, or property, with
out due process of law" and Sin all crimi-
nal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy
the right to a speedy and public trial, by an
impartial jury of the State and district where
in the crime shall have been committed,
which district shall have been previously
ascertained by law, and to be informed of
the nature and cause of the accusation; to
be confronted with the witnesses against
him; to have compulsory process for obtain
ing witnesses in his favor, and to have the
assistance of counsel for his de-
fense." ''Due process of law means that
man accused of crime must be ar
rested upon warrant regularly issued by a
competent officer, and must be tried by a
jury of his peers, in lawfully constituted
court. The farce now being enacted in
South Carolina, where men are arrested by
a detachment of soldiers, without any
billCI blldll IlldS hCllsSo AAOAIA
Grant, proclamation declaring martial law,
will not stand the test of the judicial cruel
bic whenever it shall be applied. The men
thus arrested, however innocent, have no
redress just now, unless the courts have
not surrendered to the dictator. If the
Judiciary possessed the courage to meet the
issue in the proper spirit, the rights of the
citizens would still be protected. It's clear
that no such state of affairs exists in South
Carolina as would justify Congress in sus-
pending the writ of habeas corpus, and
even if that body can delegate its authority
in this respect to the President, he can
certainly do no more than Congress.
Coy. Scott, of South Carolina, does
not hesitate to state that, in his judgment,
/ the proclamation was unnecessary. He
! comedies that the counties in which martial
law has been declared have been more or
derby in the past three months than for a
long time before. This shows the animus
of the proceeding. We have said that the
citizens who may be seized by the military
and dragged from their homes, without pro-
| per authority from civil officer, will have
. no present redress. But the time may
come when the civil power will assert its
authority, and the redress may be obtained.
But if Grants usurpations be submitted
to, where will they end? And is there any
probability that we shall have civil law as
! serted and enforced in the South while
Grant continues in power?

THE CROPs INIRELANn.

The news which the New York Herald
receives from its special correspondents in
Ireland, as well as the information other
wise obtained regarding the condition of
the crops in that unfortunate country, is
not at all encouraging. The prospects are
gloomy enough TO justify the anticipation
that the poorer classes, especially those in
the country districts, will suffer severely
during the coming winter. The yield of
the wheat, oats and barley crops has in
creased, and comparison with that of last
year shows that the diminution will be con-
side=ably lower than what was expected.
The turnip crop has also fallen of. To
swell, as it were, the miSeries of the Irish
tenant farmer, to add TO his misfortunes and
render his difficulties more perplexing the
potato blight has again visited his fields. In
the south it is estimated that one-third of
the yield viii prove bad, Willie in other
parts we are told that from one-half to two
thirds Of the present crop viii turn out I'M
sound.

Much of the change in the condition of
parties in Texas has been effected by the
manner in which the German voters of that
State deposited their ballots at the late cleo
ton. The Germans voted largely, in some
localities almost unanimously, for the DEM
Ocratie Congressional candidates. In Fay
cite county, where there are large German
settlements, the white vote was nearly
unanimous for Hancock, the Democratic
candidate; and the same fact is apparent
in other portions of the State. 1t is thus
shown that Senator Schurz.s views are
shared by his countrymen in regions far
distant from the State which he represents.
The Germans of Texas have been Radicals,
and are, perhaps, so still we have no au-
thority for saying that they have joined the
Democratic party; but one thing is certain,
they are no longer adherents of the pro-
scriptive party that rules in Texas and at
Washington City. They are ready to join
the Democratic party to I'D the country OF
the men who rule and will ruin it.

TRAINs RUN TO AND FROM NASH
Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1868-1875, 1871-10-25

The fight between the Radical factions in
New York goes on with undated vigor.
The spirit in the Syracuse Convention was
too deep to be healed by the kicks and
cuffs since administered on either side.
"The combat deepens." Collector
Murphy publishes a card defending
himself from the attacks made
against him by leading Radicals. He
strikes back with all the vigor and energy of
a man in earnest. He was the leader at the
Convention which nominated the Radical
State ticket. He controlled the elements
then, and he is attempting 20 control them
now. In reply to his card, ex-United States
Marshal Murray, renews the attack in a
letter to the New York Tribune. He repeats
his charges made against Collector Murphy,
and says:
snow, sir, every word contained in my
communication of the above date was writ
ten by myself, after the most thoughtful
deliberation, and with full knowledge of
the legal responsibilities that attach to me
by reason Of its publication; and if Mr..
Murphy has the courage to come TO the
front and bring Inc into a court of Justice
that i may have an opportunity of proving
the truth Of those charges by legal evidence
we both shall have TO submit the question
to jury of twelve men; and through them
the public win be able TO decide as to the
relative standing and integrity of a shoddv
contractor and political renegade, and an
ex-United States Marshal"
The ex-Marshsl says he is equally ready
for a criminal proceeding in the case. The
ex-Marshal concludes as follows:
Snow, sir, live in this city, upon the
spot where | was born-a Wing from the
beginning-a Republican from the start
never having voted for a Democrat, as
such, in my life, and l cannot certainly be
expected to remain silent when Shoddy,
Shiny, Tammany Republican attempts to
cover me with political infamy.
I mean business. Come to the front, Mr..
Murphy! Take this controversy out of the
newspapers, into the courts of IdtC, and |
promise you music Nth a. fuH band"
