tbe Sheriff fOr The arrest Of General Neill.

the Sheriff for the arrest Of General Neill,
which was duly executed But before the
accused could be brought into the august pre-
sence ofthe irate Judge counter legal document
was Issued by Judge Blatchfcrd, Of the United
States District Court, requiring the Sheriff to
appear before him and show cause why he
held the person of the General In custody.
The Sheriff made due return and produced the
writ issued by Judge McCunn as his authority
In the premises. Upon the fact set forth issue
was raised to determine the question Of juris-
diction, whether, in fact, Judge McCunn can
tnterpOse his authority to override the statutes
of the United States, in military mat
ters, and, by his mere spse daast, dis
charge enlisted soldiers from their sworn
pledges of fealty and duty, or whether the
government, acting in good faith and without
constraint, shall compel the services of men
voluntarily joining the land or naval forces of
the United States.
This judicial interference in matters purely
military and national emanates only from one
branch of the State courts; but the penchant
for issuing writs of habeas corpus to enlisted
soldiers there is quite enough to keep the
military authorities Of the district In hot water.
The case at present in controversy will no
doubt settle the question of this conflicting
Jurisdiction forever, as Judge Blatchford is
net the man to ''scotch" case when he can
give 1t quietus that will set it at rest forever.
But why not settle this question of minors as
Judge Shfpman did upon one occasion, when
he held that all recruits claiming to be minors
aheuld be bound by their own oath at the time
Of enlistment that they we're of legal age9
That would settle the question.

firt with impunity to an extent which
would simply destroy any one else. They
fiirt with the most delicious frankness, vet
for all practical purposes keep their places
in society undisturbed and their repute
intact. They have the art OF making the

all their crn; yet which causes the weak
to stumble and the rash TO fall. They
ride on two horses at once, with q skill as
cousummate as their daring; but the fee

fund Of sisterliness always at command
for host of ''dear boys" Of her own age,
or when little older and drawing nearer
to the borders of mature sircnhood, that
she is kind Of ecumenicai aunt to a
large congregation Of well-looking neph-
cws-she may steer safely through the
shadows Of this dangerous coast, and land
at last on the terra firma Of . respected
old age: but let another try it. and she
goes to tho bottom like stone. And
yet the first has pushed her privileges as
far as they will go. while the second has
only played with hers but the one comes

the other goes down is mystery given

strange elasticity Of privilege with certain
pretty friends, and must have more than
once wondered at Mrs. Grundy's leniency
to the Asgrant sinner on the right side Of

kT The phrase "dying in Tie Inst
ditch" is commonly supposed to haye
originated in the South during the Re-
bellion, but history refers to it another
source altogether. Aud the peculiarly
of Mr.. Douglas error consists in the fact
that the identical William the Silent"
of whom he was lecturing. was the author
OF the phrase IN question, u fact whish
adds great singularity to the error. We
learn from Hume that on one occasion
when Buckingham urged the inevitable
destruction which hung OYER the United
Provinces and asked William the Silent
whether he did not see that the common
wealth was ruined, There is one certain
means" replied the dauntless Prince. "by
which 1 can be sure never to sec my GOWN
