he referred to the case of General
Rucker last year, in which he decided that
a parole only existed during the war; if
terminated with the war itself; when peace
was restored, he was only responsible TO
the civil authority /; no military tribunal
had jurisdiction. In the Rucker case the
motion to discharge the prisoner was over
ruled, and he was bound over to answer
the Indictment of treason in the civil
courts He saw no reason TO change his

President must see that the Laws are execu-
ted. The acts Of 1895 give him power
to call ont the troops and militia to SUD-
press insurrection. There is no necessity
for formal declaration of war in a
rebellion, and the President could not be
expected to await the action of Congress.
de had the authority given him in the con-
stitution and the acts of 1895, to suppress
insurrection, and be would best know when
that insrrrection was entirely suppressed.
1t Is different in foreign war, which is
ended by treaty of peace. With insur-
gents no treaty can be made; they have
only to lay down their arms, and peace is
restored-when the war ends. When the
civil courts are open, that moment they
take the place of military courts. 1t is
perfectly ridiculous to say that war yet ex-
lists, and that the civil courts are super
seded by military authority until Congress
shall declare otherwise. When war ceases,
military authority over citizens for ofenses
also ceases.


Even if war existed at present, was the
otiense military one, or against the State
laws? There are two branches TO a parole
the first, not to take up arms against the
United States; the second, the paroled
prisoner is permitted to return to his home,
and he will not be disturbed By the United
States so long as he obeys the laws of the
State. The first is a military obligation.
The civil authorities have a right to pun
ish for violations of the second. The Sc
cond branch of the parole merely affords
protection to the citizen from arrest and
Imprisonment by the United States so long
as he obeys the parole. For violation of
the military order in times of peace, the
United States courts are open. Military
commissions are repugnant to our sense of
Justice, and the theory of our government
when civil courts are open. The offense
disclosed in this return was a violation of
the laws of the State, not of the United
States, and was not an armed violation of
q parole. The prisoner will be discharged,
as he is illegally detained in custody by the
military authorities.

A CHURcHYARD LEGEND.-NoYel wri.


ters and magazine sketches will find in


the following little incident, told by a


European correspondent, a subject


worth working up"


Germans have not our gloomy idea


of Death, or at all events they make


their graYeysrds the most cheerful


places imaginable. Flowers and ever
greens take the place of our monuments
and tombs. or when the latter are used
they are left open that friends may go
there to pray and bedeck the cofins
with flowers. In Annaberg, the tombs
were so open that the coffins were part
of the day in the sunlight, and pictures
of the dead hung upon the walls. There
were glass cases there also, filed with
the last relics, which friends might
only look upon in the presence of their
owners The wife of the sexton was a
blind lady, who told US the following
legend which was supposed to have
been about century ago; The wife of
a wealthy citizen had died, and accord
ing to the custom then, was buried
with many articles of great value. This
fact excited to such an extent the
cupidity of the sexton, that he deter
mined to dig up the body and rob it of
its treasures. This he did successfully,
but during her exposure to fresh air
the woman, to the horror of the sexton,
recovered from her death-ike trance
and came to life again. He had not
the heart to kill her, perhaps his ter
ror did not allow him to, but to restore
her to her husband would be to brand
himself a robber. He sank upon his
knees in the midnight and prayed for
forgiveness from heaven, then took the
woman in his arms and carried her to
her husband. She recovered, bore
children, and outliyed her husband, but
the unfortunate sexton, who, though
guilty of robbery, had restored her to
life, died in prison.

A bill has been introduced into Congress.
and will probably pass that body, which will
put an end to that blot upon our institutions,
which passes by the cognomen of the territory
of Utah. By this bill all the laws of that de-
lectable region, which are inconsistent with
those of the United States, are made null and
void, and what is of far more consequence.
the execution of the laws themselves is to be
entrusted to United States officials. The laws
referring to polygamy are to be utterly re-
voked, and the practice of the filthy system
made penal crime. 1t has been national
disgrace that the matter has been left so long
and the only palliation to the matter, is that
the authorities have been so busy putting
down the rebellion, that there has not been
time for anything else. Now, however, there
is good time. With the progress of recon-
struction, troops can soon be withdrawn from
the Southern States, and sent to teach the
saints of Utah little Of Uncle Sam's civil
gospel at the point of the bayonet-a mode of
augmentation singularly eficacious in all
cases where vice, and not a principle, is the
question in dispute. We hope the law will
speedily pass, and that Gen. Grant will as
speedily put it into operation.

la Our difficulties with that country seem to
thicken, and the chances for peaceful settle
ment of the unrighteous course taken by that
country, in connexion with the rebellion ap-
parently grow less, as the correspondence be-
tween the respective governments is produced.
The policy of Great Britain appears to be a
trucking one. Just so long as she fears that
we may involve her in a war, just so long she
is willing to discuss the point and lust so
long as she does not fear this, she is unwilling
to settle at all. 1t will be a difficult question
for the Congress to decide. We cannot afford
to lose our national honor, but we can afford
everything but that, rather than go to war
with such a power as England. What we
hope for will be that Congress will do just as
Great Britian did with US, which was to wait
till our hauds were tied, and then strike us.
We can simply assert our claims, and then
wait for the opportunity to enforce them.--
With such perpetual blunderer as John Bull
the time must come when be has his hands
full, and then the simple assertion that be Musr

like the only sensible course with such ma
ton, and we hope the Congress will act upon

Since the execution of the three Fenians in
Great Britain, the excitement attendant unon
this deluslon has been on the increase. Fn.
neral professions OF ten to fifty thousand take
place in all the prominent cities, which the
government has most unwisely attempted to
suppress, without the power effectualy to do
SO. Their old doctrine of &C stamping the fire
out p would answer, if they could stamp the
fire out, but the difficulty is, that it is only
smothered, and all these acts of government
are but like so many drafts of air upon it.
which assist the more rapidly in producing a
blaze. That government acts upon mistak en-
calculation of the proper method of dealing
with men whose passions are exasperated,-
w hen man is mad, unless you hit him on the
head sufficiently hard to stun or kill him. a
blow only makes him madder and more reck


less. He will do far less injury and come
much more quickly to reason, if his evil is
just restrained, and he is for the most part let
alone. But Great Britain, it seems, knows no
other lesson than just to go on hitting the ma
Fenians over the head with just sufficient force
to increase their anger. She knows no more.

The President sent in a message TO Cong
ress on Wednesday of last week, in which he
recapitulated, in terms of fulsome eulogy, the
course taken by General Hancock in reference
to his administration in the South, western
District. The giet Of the whole message ap-
peared to be that Hancock was carrying on
his process Of reconstruction, in opposition to
the ideas Of the Congress, though not perhaps
in opposition to the exact letter Of the law
under which he is acting that no other dis
trict commander south Of the Potomac had
dared to do this, and that, therefore, Congress
ought to vote Gen. Hancock some suitable
recognition of the patriotism of his course. -
The message was received with shouts of de-
risiye laughter from the Congress, except here
and there an irate member, who was disposed
to resent the insult. The whole affair, how
members soon gave up their anger and joine d
the laughers. A


President johnson probably meant to bene-
fit Gen. Hancock, but, like the other efforts of
that astute statesman, his attempt to help is a
most positive evil he could have done. No
man has so much reason to dread the President
as that man, TO whom he is really friend
We protect against the sacrifice of Gen. Han
cock in this way. His record in the past is
that of a gallant and wise soldier, who has
been spoken of prominently, by leading Demo-
Gratis, as their possible candidate for the pre-
sidency, and there is no way in which that
prospect can be SO efiectually damaged, as to
make his course subject of derision. Gen.
Hancock has good reason to say" Save me
from my friends, and will take care of my
enemies myself"
