A CORRESPONDENT of the London
Spectator has advanced a decidedly new
theory of the origin of the fires in Chicago
and Wisconsin. He says these fires ''were
atmospheric in their cause''-that is, ''they
resulted from the passage of a great mysteI
ious atmospheric stream, which arose in
Longitude 90 deg, swept with a cyclone
Antigua and the Virgin Isles, on the 2lst
of August, the Bahamas on the 29d, and
then moved slowly to the northwest, strik-
ing Chicago and the forests" tits remark
able that no one heard of this cyclone, and
that it produced fire nowhere but in Chica-
20 and the forests of Wisconsin.

THE Washington correspondent Of the
Louisville Ledger writes, Nov. q: "There
is every indication that Prosser's case will
be hushed up in the Post Office, and that
he will be whitewashed. Prosser's plea
is, that he was ignorant of the law prevent
,ng members of Congress from acting at the
same time as claim agents. 1t is now
probable that the Administration will not
order Prosser's removal from the Nashville
Post Office" s

THEPOwERTO SUSPEND THE WRIT
OF HABEAS CORPUS.

1t is stated that one object in employing
the Hon. Reverdy johnson and Hon Henry
Stanbery to defend the citizens of South
Carolina, arrested under the Ku-Klux law
Of Congress, is to test the right Of the Presi-
dent to suspend the writ of habeas corpus.
A glance at the history of this provision of
the Constitution will show that it was never
intended by the trainers Of that instrument
that ii e President should be invested with
such a power, in time of peace il, indeed,
it was contemplated that he should
exercise it at all. When this provision
was under consideration in the con-
vention which framed the COnstitu-
ton, Mr.. Pinckney submitted fol-
reference to the committee of detail the
following: "The privilege and benefit OF
The writ of hdbeGS corpus shall be enjoyed
in this government in the most expeditions
and ample manner, and shall not be sus;
pended by the legislature except upon the
most urgent and pressing occasions, and
iOI IL luAllCu bilic3 llpb CASSNNlu5 4kOAAsAio'
Mr.. Rutlege thought that the privilege Of
hdbeasc orpus should be declared inviolate.
Mr.. Governor Morris suggested the form as
it stands in the Constitution, and it was
adopted.
Again: the Constitution declares that
''the United States shall guarantee to every
State in this Union republican form Of
government, and shall protect each Of them
against invasion, and, on application or The
Legislature, or of the Executive (when the
Legislature cannot be convened) against do,
mestic violence" When this subject was
under consideration, a motion was made tC
strike ost son the application of the LegiS
lature, against, and to substitute "insur.
rections" for domestic violence" but botl
those motions were rejected; so jealous were
the trainers of the Constitution, OF Federal
interference in the affairs of the States, and
so sedulously did they seek to guard The
liberties of the people against centralized
power.
These facts show very conclusively that
it was never intended by the men who
framed the Constitution that the Presiden
should be clothed with the power to sus
pend the great writ Of liberty-certainll
not in a time of profound peace, whel
Congress itself could not do so. Notwith
standing this, a Radical Congress has au
thorised the President to suspend the wri
wherever and whenever he may choose t.
10 so, for that is what the legislation on tn
subject practically means.

SEEKING FOR BAYONEr RULE.


Martial law, it seems, is not the worst
form of government which can be imposed
on a people. At least one State in the
South is prepared to welcome it as a bles-
sing, longs for it, prays for it as relief
from the Unsuitable Radical vultures that
are stripping the people Of their inheritance.
The bayonets Of imperial Ulysses would
be hailed in Louisiana tomorrow
with as much joy as was the departure OF
the pantry General from New Orleans.
some idea of the terrible condition of af-
fairs in the unfortunate State can be gained
from the following extract from a commu-
nication recently published in the New Or
leans Times:
aWhere, then, seek for relief? | reply,
there Is no hope for as b1G IN Judge
Lynch Let our lamp posts Ebe decorated
some morning with hundred carcaSses of
thieves, selected from the highest offices,
and our redemption has begun. San Fran
cisco found this remedy the only efficient
one, and New Orleans should profit by her
example. The shameless blOodsuckcrs that
have fastened their filthy fangs upon us are
deaf to every appeal, and only death will
make them quit their prey. have always
beeIf a peaceful, law-abiding man, but |
confess | have groaned so long under our
unrelenting robbers that | hunger for the
blood of the villains. Let the hempen era
vat encircle the necks of representatives
from every department of the organized
robbers government.
I'VE know beforehand the objection
which win be made TO the execution Of these
villains, and on which they rely for safety.
If YOU hang them,' says Mr.. TimOrous, I'VE
shall be placed under a military govern
mcnt.' To which l reply, that is the best
Thing, uuder the circumstances, which could
happen 10 us. An absolute military gov
ernor may possibly steal himself rich, but
it viii be his interest to prevent his province
from being oyeuun with thousands of
thieves. Louisiana can afford to make one
man rich who viii prevent thousands of
unclean vermn from prcying on her vitals.
We know all those now in office will object
TO a military government, for with this es-
tablished their occupations viii be p6ne.
Let us hang at least one hundred official
thieves, and then thank God for a military
governor"
The Times gives this communication as
an indication of the feeling that prevails
among the better class Of the people of
Louisiana result Of the grinding tyranny
that characterizes Radical rule in that State.
But there are signs of hope in the political
horizon, and better days must soon dawn
on the oppressed people. The thieves have
commenced TO fight over their plumber, and
"when rogues fall out" it has often proved
that honest men have profited by it. II
the people will wait and watch patiently
yet little longer for favorable opportuni-
ty to strike for freedom, the day of Their
emancipation from political thraldom may
be nea"a' h''"'"
