THE LONG AND ELOQUENT SPEECH or wI1iTE

md who heard the al,swors 10 tho cross-cx-
animation, would bu compelled to.acknowi-
ctlRo that thu Indians WIRE acting Of their
own free WILL mid they wcre terribly wrongctl
In their removal. White Englc told tho story
to-day In avery pathetic manner. 1i1sapeecl,

1f0w much they felt this was sl,own by

Ut tho Presidents Commission, appointed Mt
tie Instance of Doston people, nsActl whether
their present decision wns lnatto of their

that the decision wns their own; that, whltu

posgs to give them reservation Of 10l, sol

SEEM TO lie SETTLED,

day that they should ask them NIL. in thu

The Supremacy of CIVIL Law.
tFron the Nation. !


we venture to suggest to our es-
teemed contemporaries who may be
in want of subjects of campaign in
yestigation the Milligan case. report-
ed in the fourth volume of Wallace's
Supreme Court Reports. Miligan
was a "traitor," who was tried by
military commission during the war,
but within the limits of the State of
Indiana, and sentenced to be hanged.
That he was bad man and richly
deserved hanging there can be little
doubt, but there was question
whether man could be legally SEN
fenced by a military commission
within a jurisdiction in which there
were civil courts sitting for trial of
crimes and felonies of all kinds. The
matter was brought before the Su-
preme Court at Washington, and
many ablecounsel appeared and made
arguments, among others General
Garfield, in favor of Miligan. The
case attracted much attention at the
time. and the decision, which was
that habeas corpus ought to issue,
was generally regarded as a triumph
for civil liberty. 1t brought to an
end all trials by military commits
sions, and from that time December,
1861, to this no Democrat has been
hanged in the United States except
after trial according to all the forms
of law and verdict by jury. The
widespread criminality prevailing
among the Democrats made the de-
cision Of the utmost consequence to
them, and it is singular to reflect that
while it was through General Hans
cock that Mrs. Surratt was hanged,
it was partly through the efforts of.
General GARFIELD that the practice of
hanging Democrats by means of mills
itary commissions was brought to an
end.
