Stanberts opinion upon the military hill, which wc print this morning. It most conclusively shows the glaring usurpations of power which have been committed by Sickles, Pope and Sheridan. As a luminous aud forcible interpretation of the intent and meaning of the military bill, it is unanswerable. No lawyer with any reputation to lose would question one of the positions assumed by Mr. Stanbert.

A reference to tbe debates ia Congress in the month of February last shows that leading Radicals understood the bill fast as Mr. Stanbery interprets it It was not intended that the existing civil governments in tbe South should in any manner be interfered with by any power but Congress itself! Whoever says otherwise, with the debates and the military bill before him, is eitlier very stupid or very knavish. If Congress should meet iu July, it will be because of tlii opinion of the Attorney General, for the purpose of amendiug the bill so that it may give enlarged powers to military commanders. And in tlie delates that will take place, if there should be a -ion, abundant evidence wili be given by Radical them-Si-lves that Mr. Stanbf has given the only interpretation of the that will bear a moment's examination.

There is not a sound lawyer in the Radical House or Radical Senate who ould give any other interpretation. Doan MHuian on tlie Present State of Knglish Literature. Im Viunan presided at the annirervirv of the RoyaJ Literary Fund in London on the IMh Mav. Intberoui.se ot tlie proceedings he re-xicweil tbeiirent position of tSnzlish litrafrire.

It may may be urged that 11 we are to depend on petroleum artifu tally made from eltale, we shall le under a disadvantage as compared with ether nations procuring it naturaliv trom well. Possibly ho, but we do not yet know what nught be done with petroleum wells in the Briti-b Island.

Tbe h-ivy ram this vicinity and to th north (I it la-t weekand this raim-d the river highsr than it hi be-n tor eight years. Uomm-n-cmg on Thursiaj mortung, the 6th it roe r.p-itllj at one fruie at the rule ot six inches cr hour, until it attained the height ol five leet, at which point it remained for three days, the rise and tall carving bat little. Ihe river was on a bo nmig high. The mighty torrent swept on with rosfrUo force, carrying out log and doing much damage to ntills. booms, ratta, ami tlie ternra along the bank.

Fowlers ami Wilson's terries were hut up. The upper terry suc-reeded in crossing pretty meeting with au occasional mi.duvp from running logs aud the tremendous current. A drive on their way down tbe river with IN, 000,000 fee ot log awoke one luorwirg finding the water in tbeir tent, and their occupation and logs gone. Not being able to keep up with the logs they took tbe cars, ami itisauHes-tion whether Lucy or the log arrived at St. Anthony tiret.

Great anxiety was manifested io town as to the ran ty ot the log? boomed by tbe lumber merchant? at this place. ident of the United State, to enjoin him wninst executing the very act? ol (ngress now under the optti'un of tbe Court uon dismissing lift! vti it 5.om been wiinlni-ni. wit delivered by the Chief Justice. I mike the following quotation from the opfejon Verr iliitrent i-tbeautyet ihe in tbe exeicin? ol the powei to st-e that tbe law are faithfully executed, ami among those laws tbe nets named in the bill.

Bv the ol these acts be is required to a-Hgu Generals to command in tbe several militarv and to detail lllieient milit iry p.rce to cnablo su oilieers to dW hnrge their duties under the law. Bvthe supplementary act, other duties are imiosel on the several commanding generals, and their duties niu' necessarily be performed under the President as the Commander-In-Chief. The dutv thu imposed on the President Is In no just sense ministerial. It is purely executive ana political. Certain questions have been propounded from one of tliso military district? touching the construction of the power of the military commander to constitute military tribunals for tbe trial of offenders which 1 will next consider.

Whilst the act doe? not In terms displace the regular criminal courts oi the Mute, if doe? give the power to tbe military commander, when in his judgment a necessity arl. es, to take the administration of the criminal law into bis own hand and to try aid punish 'fiendcis by means ol military com missions. MILITARV TRI.1T? FN TME Or TEACE PNrONSTI-irit-HAt. HIrt JUSTICE CHASE HAY THAT. In cn ng roust i notion to this power, we mus not forget tho recent andjaathoritative exposition given by the Supreme Court ot the United State? as to tbe ot Congre? to provide for military tribunal? tor the trial of ririzensin time of peace, and to toe emphatic declaration as to which there was no dissent or difference of opinion among the judges, that such a jower is not warranted by tbe Coufriru-tiin.

A single extract from Ihe opinion Ol the minority as delivered by the Chief Jiifti-e will Msffice. We bv nq, mean? assert that CVngress can and applv Ute laws of war where no war ha? been declared or here peace exist? the law of eace must prevail. What wc do maintain is. that when tbe nation is in V-lv in war. and some portion of the countrv are invaded, and all are exposed to invasion, it is within the power of Congretts to determine in what State? or districts snob great and imminent public danger exfot as.intiflos theauthorzationni niililnrv tor tlie trial of crimes and ottence against the direipline or security tbe army or against tbe public safota-.

Limiting myelf he re simple to tbe construction ot this act ot Congress and to question in what war it shor.M Ie exoctiteu. I have no hesitation in saving that nothing short ot aa al oiure or con-ti oiling recessity would give any color ot aurhoritv for arragnmg a Indore a military commission. A charged with crime in anv of military districts b.ia rights to be protected, rights the most sacied and inviolable, ami among three the nglfr of trial by jury according to laws of tbe lard. When a citizen is arraigned before a militarv commission on a criminal charge he is no longer mule the protection ot law, nor surrounded with those saieguardo which are piovided in tiie Constitution. This act, passed in a time of peace, when all the courts, Sta'e and i'cderal, are in the uieiisturttcd exercise ot their iuri-dietion, authorizes the discretion a litary fli er, th.

siure, uni, ai.d ci ndetnnatmn ot the utizen. The accused mar a -nti-nctd to deiih. and the acriten may In exe-cufrd, vitbout an indictment, without cmnel. without a jury and without a judge. A sentence which forfeits ail the pnqiertv ol the accused, re-qum ni aj.jn val.

Miii-turi ami executive authoritv rule throughout, in the trial, tl sentence and thcexcutin. NjWeii rorw's from anv Stare ourt cm he inv.Jicd; for this law dclart-s tflat all interterence, under the color of Mate authority, with the exenise of military aittho tty undr shill be null mi void. 1 repeat ir, that nothing abort of an absolute necessity can give any color of authority to a militarv commander focal) into exercise such a power, ir 10 a jKiwvr the cvrp 1 whuh mav involve him, and eery -oe in the gravefr responsibilities.

Tbe occasion tor its exerci? shonld be reported at ouce to the Executive lor auch mstruc-tiiiL as may beik-eme1 necHt-ary and pror. OTHFR Qi Esriovs CONSlDKREP. Question? have arisen whether, under thfl ower. th -se military canimifioners tan take guizance ot committed before the fasjige ot tlie t. and whether tbev can ti and ponih lor acts not made crime- or nftincre bv Federal or Stt law.

I am clearlv of opinion that fhoy have no jurisdiction as to either. They can take cognisance of no offence that has not happened after tbe law took effect. Ina-mm. tbe tribunal to punish, and tbe measure or degree of puni-bment, are established by tbi1 art. we must construe it to le prosje2tive and not retioactive.

Otherwise it would take the character of an rx pott facto law. Therefore, in the absence ot an language whi gires the act a retrospect. 1 do hot hesitate to say it applv to pa-t flences. Tl ere is do legislative power given under this militarv bill to a new criminal code. Tue authority given is to trv and puni-h criminal? and and this proceeds upon the idea that crime aud oflence? hare been committed but no person can be called a criminal or an offender for doing an act which, when done wa? not prohibited by law.

But to tbe measure of punishment, regret to be obliged to say that it 1 left altogether to the military authorities, with only thi limitation, that the punishment to be inflicted shall tflk be cruel or unusual. Tbe military commission may try tbe accused, fix the measure of punishment, even to tbe penalty of death, and direct the execution ot the Sc-ntonce It is only when tbe sentence affect? the file or liber-tv tbe Hron that it need be approved bvthe commanding General, and only in case? where it affects tbe life of tbe accused that it needs also the approval of the President. As to eren.e or deuces against ihe law? ot the United the military authontv can take no cognizance of them, nr in any wav iatertere with tbe regular ol justice bv the appropriate Federal Court. In the oniniou heretofore given upon other question? arising under ibcse laws, i gave at large tor y-ur consideration the grounds uon which iu conclusions were arrived at, intending thereafter to state tliese coiiclusioiH in a cmrte and clear suoi-niary. i now proceel to execute that purpose, which is muae especially necessary from the and d(ubt winch have arisen upon that opinion in the public mind, enured in part bv tbe error of the telegraph and the press in tu publication, and in part by tbi-inaptitude of the gmeral reader to follow cnreiully the successive and dependent step? ot a protracted legal opinion.

SUMMARY. WHO ARE ENTITLED TO REGISTRATION. 1. Tbe oath precriled in tbe supidemental act defines all the required, ami evey per-s who can take that oath is entitled to have his name entered upon tbe ot voter. 2.

The board ol regifrration have no authoritv to administer anv other oath to the eron applying fur registration than this prescribed oath; nor to administer any outh to any other person, touching ll.e quoliikatioiis ot the applicant, or tbe taUity or tho th re token ly him. The act to guard against tdlriiv in the rath, provide? that, it idse. theH-ron taking it fball be tried and pnni-bei lor erjarv. No provimovt? made t.tf clialleiiging thequalittca-ti'D1 of the aopbeunt. or entering nfon any tnil or investigation ot hi qualifications, either bv witnesses or offer form ol proof.

No law of the United State? has declared the penalty ot disfranchisement for participation in rebellion alone.

Nor 1 it known that any such law exist? iu either of there ten States, except perhaie Virginia, ns to which State special instruction? will be giveu. As to disfran birement arising from having held office followed by participation in reltellion. This is the most important part oi the oath, aud requires strict atteutfon to arrive at it? meaning. 1 deem it proper to give the exact Tbe applicant must swear or affirm follows: That I have never been a member of any State legislature, nor held any executive or judicial office in any State, nmf attcnrani engaged in an insurrection or rebellion against the Untied or given aid or comfort to the 1 have never taken au oatli as a tminler of ot the Uniftd Static, or as an oftier ot tbe United aiei, or a member of anv Stale legislature, or a an executive or judicial offi'T of any Mate, to support the tons) tt at ion ol the United States, and fr-tr-ward engaged in insurrection or reOeilio i a jaiu-t tbe United Slates, or or comfort to tue ene-mi -s tbereoi. Two elements mart concur in order to a jiersen under thre ci Hire: Firet, the offic and official oath to support tbe C'anstituti 01 liie Uni-td Slates: tolid, eii-jgiug iu rebellion.

I Tbe President: Sim um tbe 24th ultimo, I had tbe honor to transmit tor your consideration my opinion upon some ot tbe Questions arising under (tie rconstrm tion acts therein referred to.

I now proceed to give rov opinion on tbe remaining questions, upon which the military commanders require instructions. THE VARlOl SECTIONS OS THE MILITARY BILL REFERRED TO AND QrOTED. First, as to the powers and duties of those commanders. tie original act recites in Its preamble that no legal State governments or adequate protection tor lite or property exist' in those ten States, and that it is necessary that peace and good order shonld be enforced those States until kival and republican State governments can be legallv established. Tbe first and second sections divide tbee Srata into five militarv districts, subject to the authority of the United States as thereinafter precribd, and moke it the duty ot tbe President to assign from tbe officer ot tlie army a general officer to the command of each district, and to inrnish him with a military force to perform bis duller and enforce bis authority within bis district.

Tbe third section declares That it shall be the duty of esch officer assigned as atorewid ti protect all person in tneir ngfits ol person and ropertv. to suprres msnrrectiofi, di-herder and violence, and to pitnii-fi. or cause to lie puiushed, all disturbers of the I'Ublic pece and criminal, an 1 to this end he ni" 1 cr! civil to tate jaiisiiction and fry offenders, or, wl en. in his judgment, it xisav Le necessary for the trial of otleiulers, he shall havcfiOnei to oiganire miunry commissions or tri-btinalvJor that pnrfoe; at'l all iiiterf(renc under e-lor of State authority with the exereise of militi-tv miiier this act shall be tall arid vptd. Th' toort s.cti'n pp.vd Tliat all ienoBS put tcilftarj arrest bv virtue of Ihis act shall 1-etiMd bi-out iii'ncccaTT delav, an.l nocruel or i-unisbitem shall be inflicted; and no sditciuc tan luil orr coimnissjon or tribunal hereby anti oi ized, affecting the life or lib rivof any lroii, lie executed until it approved the otheer in command of the ilMnet, and the laws and regulatioiis tor the yovetmuent of tbe armv shall Le gib-cted by tbs act, except in so far as they conflict with tis provisions: 'ror-derf, that no Sf-fitence of death ntHicr the provisions of this act shall be eai rii into edect without the approval ot the President.

The swrth section provi le- That until the people ol said rebel Slate sliall be law admit ted to lej resentation in the Congress ot the UniUl Stales, any civil governments wfli mav exist therein shall be deemed i-ovi-ional oulv. and in all respects subcct to the paramount authority ot the United Mali at uny time to abolish. mlifv, eojlr.l or su-I rrotle tbo same; and.

Pi lie held under the provisions oftiiat a't. Am! as to these difties they are plainly enough expressed in tlie act, and it l- not understood that any question not heretofore conri-iered in tl.e cpiuion referred to has amen or is likely to arise in respect to them. Mv attcurion, thwetorc, ih cirected to the pnw-or and duties ol tlie military commanders under the original act. TWO DISTINCT COVERMTTNTS IN THE TEN STATES, ONE X1 THE OTI1KK CIVIL, AND DiHH CO.yTMlILAI IV mi MILITARY HILL. Ve see cearlj enough that this act cootemplates two distinct government in each of these ten States, tbe one military, the other civil.

Tbe civil gotern-ment i- recognized a existing at tbe dafe ol the act. The military govetnmnt is created bv the act. Both arc provisional, and lth are to continue un.il tlie new Stati Constitution i framed amt the State is admitted to representation in Congress. When that ere takes place, th these pruvl-umat governments are to cease. In contemplation of this act, this military authority and this civil authority are to lc carried on togotlier.

The people in thec States are made subject te ioth, and must obey both, in tluir respective Jurisdictions. 1 HE MILI1ABT HILL DOE NOT AND DID NOT IN-TSKPTOStT ASIDE TUE CIVIL GOVERNMENTS IN THE SOI TH. There is, then, an imperative necessity to define as clearly a jwrible tbe line winch separate the two jurisdictions, and the exact ecope ol the authority ot each. Now as to the eivil authority, recognized bv the act as the provudoual civil government, it covered everv department of civil in each ol these States. It had ail the characteristics and powers of a State Government, legislative, judicial and executive, and was in the full and lawful exercise ot aii three powers, except that it was not entitled to representation as a State ot tbe Union.

This existing Government ri not set aside; it iv revogmzod more than once by the act. It not in any one of it departments, or as to any one of its functions, rt-jcaled or modified by this act, save only in tbe quaithration of the qualifications of persona eligible toother, tbe maimer of holding elections, and theriioce ot tramiug the Constitution ot the State. The act docs not iu any o'lier respect change the provisions! Government, nor doe the act authorize tte military nciboticv to change it. The power run her changing it is reserved, not granted, and it is res rved to Congress, not delegated to the military commander. Congress as not satisfied with tbe organic law, or Constitution, nuder whit tin civil government was 1 bat Comdifwtton was to be changed in only one particular to make it arcepta-blc to Congress, and that was in the matter ot the lective fr.nchi-e.

The purpose, the sole object ot this at is to effect that change, and to effect it by Ibeageucyof tlie poopleol the State, or such of them a are made voter, by means of elections provided for in tbe act, and in the mean rime to preserve order and to punish offenders, if' found necessarr, bj military commu-sions. ALL THE ROW ER BY TB CIVIL OOV-1 BNMt'NT OK IHE tKHTII ARE L'NTOl'CHED UY THE MILITARY hll.I. 1 XCEPT THOSE EXIKE8SL GRANTED TO THE MILITARY. We are. tneretore, not at a loss to know what powers were possessed by the existing civil authority.

1 be oni qiKstion is ujxn the poaers conferred on the xnil.tarr authority. Whatever power not given to the mill I ary remains with the civil government. We see, first of all, that each of these States is made subject to tbe military authority of the United States not to tbe military authority altogether, but with this express limitation, a herein-altei prescribed. We must, then, examine what is thereinafter provided, to find the exteut and nature of the power giauted. WHAT ARE THE POWERS WHICH ARE GRANTED TO THE DISTRICT COMMANDEi; This, then, is what is granted to the military commander: The power or duty ft i-roteet all person in their rights of iterson and property, to supres insurrection, disorder and violence, and to punish, or cause to be punished, all disturbers of the public pewic and criminals.

and be mav do this by the agency of the criminal courts ol the Stale, or, ke may revol to military tribunal. llus comprise- ail the power given to tbe military commander. lieie 1 a general clause making ititbe dutv of the zniHtaty ccunmamfer to give protection to all persons in tbeir ngbtsot ersan ami proerty. Considered by itself, wad without ivleicnce to the context and toother provisions of the act, it is liable, from Us generality, be misunderstood. of protection is here meant? What vio latum ol ngiits ot erons, or of property, are Line iotondd? in what man.v-r i thi irotee-tin to be given? The arise at on-e R1MABKABLK CONCEtTIoX OF THEIR Po EOS l-NTERTAINKD BY HOME OITHF (XiMM ANDERS.

It appear that some ot the military commanders have understood this grant of power a all-compre-henives c'uilerriiig ou them the ower to remove the executive ann judicial officer ot tbe State, aud to atq'int other officers in thnr places, to the legislative power ot the State, to take uuder Uieir control, bv officer appiiuted by them-eives, the collection and disbursement of tbe revenues of the State, to pr4nbit the execution of the laws of the State bv tbe agency of it appointed officers and agents, to change the expiring law in matter affecting purely civil and private rights, to funpend or enjoin the execution of the judgments and decrees ot the eetahlibbed State courts, to intcrefore the ordinary administration ol' JusfL in tbe State courts, bv prefc-nbing new qnaliticatioD for jurors, and to change, upon the ground ot exiedi-eocy, the existing relations ot tbe parties to contract. giving protection to one party bv violating the right? of the other party. THEY MAY BE HONEST, BCT TBEY NEED IN-HTBirCTION. I feel confident tliat these militarv officers, in all tbe have dooe, have supposed that 'they had lull warrant lor tbeir action. Tbeir education aud 1 training have not been of tbe kiod to tit them fur tbe delicate and oifhcult task of giving construction I to snb a statute as that now unfer consideration Tliej reouirt instruction, and nearly aU ot Lura have asked for instruction, to solve their own doubts, and to funmh to them a mite gieuad lor the perfonnance ot their duties.

FRrNnn.Es of interpretation. I 'There can be no doubt a to the rule ol oust rue- I ion according to which we must interpret this grant ot power. It i a grant of power to military 1 authority, over civil tight and citizens, in time ot i cace. if is a new jurisdiction, uever grantnl be- fore, by which, in retain particular and lor certain purposes, the established principle that the military 1 shall be to the civil authority is re-veraed. The rule ot construction to beapitlN to nub a grant ot power is thus stated in Dwarri on Siatatew.

page statuie crtli: a new juris- di' tioii ought to be construed stnctly. I Guioed by this rule, and in tbe light ot oilier rnles otcn.stnictMi faunliar to every Lwver, esiiecially i of thoe which teach tliat, in giving construction i to single cUumts, we uniat look to tlie context and to I the whole law, that general clause are to be controlled by i-urritulHr clauses, aud that such con- sti action is to be pat on a secial clause to make it harmonize with the other parts of the statute, so a to avoid repugt ancy. 1 proceed to the coustrucUon ot thn part ot tbe act. INTERPRETATION OP TIIE BILL. I To consider, then, tne first place, tbetennsof the grant.

It is ol a ower to piotet ail persons in tbeir right ot poraon and properiy. It i not a pow-j er to create new right, but only to protect thse which exist and are established by the laws under which these ieople live. It is a jiower to preserve, not to abrogate; to stiidaln tbe existing frame ot social order acd civil rule, ami not a power to introduce military rule in its pi see. Iu edect. it is a police power, and tin protection, here intended, it protection of persons and property against violence, nn-lavviul roe, and criminal intiaclion.

it is giveu to meet the contingency roHted in the preamble, of a want of adequate protection for life and prort and tbe nccesaity also recited, that peace and good order should be 1 bis construction made more apparent when we look at the immediate context, and see in what mode, and bv what agency, this protection i to be secured. Tins duty, or power, oi crotoction i to be pertonned by the suppression of insurrecuon, dis order and violence, and by tbe punishment, either by the agency ot tbe State Court, or bv military conimitsioneis, when necessary, ot all disturbers of tbe public peace and criminal-; and it declared that all interference, under color ot State authority, with the exorcise of this military authority, shall be null and void. 'J be next succeeding clause provide? for a speedy trial ot the offender, kirhsis the infliction ot cruel and unusual punishment, and rojnires that sentence? ol these military courts, wfiigh involve tbe lileitvor file oi the shall bavTtbe approval ot thecommanaing general, and. a to a semen ol death, the approval of tbe Brefoeut bclore execution. All these eeal provision hare reference to the reservation ol order, aodjrotecUon against vio-tneand crime.

They (oa no otuer department or function ol the civil save ouly its cniuualjuri-lK-tion. and evens to that the ck-ar dm ailing ol Ibis act is, ba it i not to be interfered with by tbe military authority, unless when a necessity lor such interference may liappn to arise. KO SHADOW OF AtlROKITY FOR 1NTFRKRUING WIH THE CIVIL AtTUOHlTY IX If LKOtsLA-TIVE, 1 XECI TIVE Jl fllciAL DKF RTMKN1 EXl KIT WITH CRIMINAL JllU-DHTION IN CERTAIN i see no authontv, n-ir any shadow ot authority, for interference wnh unv thr-r courts or anv other ju; iHiiction, than criminal courts tb of criminal juiistlicfjou. l'W exl-ting ml authority in all itHotler dcqtartmeiits, leg itive, executive anJ judk-ial, is Ml untouoi ed. Tlierc is no nrovi-hiM, even under the pica of neceaxiiv, to e-Gbitsh, hi miUtatv authority, court or tribunals for tbe trial of civil cases, or lor tbe protection ot sn -h civil rights ot person or property as come within tlie cotrauum-s of civil court a contra- lis'Jngnisfced troin criminal courts.

In po'nt ot lact there was no foundation for such a grant of pjwer, tor the Civil Bights act and tbe Froedwen's Burean act, neither of which is superseded by tbi act. made ample irovision for the protecriou of all merely civil rights where tbe laws or court ot thess States night fail to giv lull, impartial protection. NO AUTHORITY WHATEVER TO REMOVE lT. FCt'TIVR OR Jt'DIOUL OFF1CBR. I flod no -authortty anywhere in tbi act for tbe removal by tbe military commander of (lie proyter officer? eta State, either executive or judicial, or tbe appointment uf person? to tbeir places.

Hotiuug short of an express grant ot power would justify the removal or the appointment of curb an officer. There is no snob grant expressed or even implied. On the contrary the act clearly enough forbid it. The regular State official, duly elected and qualified, are entitled to hold their offices. They, tee, have rights wblcfe tbe military commander is hound to protect, not authorized to destroy.

THE SIXTH HKcrlJON EXFRitoSLT PROVIDES FOR THB PERPETUATION OF CIVIL OFliCKRS BY FLECTION. We find in tbe concluding clause of the sixth section ot tbe act that these official? are recognised, and express provision is made to perpetuate them. It is enacted that in all elections to sny office under such provisional govern menu, all persons shall be entitled to vote, and none others, who are entitled to note under the provisions of the fifth -section ef this net and no person shall be eligible to any office or- der such provisional g.ivcrnmcnfs, who would be diquahfica inm baldin' office under the provisions Of (Ids ac. Toil provision not onlv recognizes all the officer of the provisional goiommcnr, but in cao ot vacan-cice, vr clatlv points out iw they are to be fidc and that happet.s to be in the ususl way. bv the people, ar.d not by any other agency or an otbey power, either State or "Fctieral, cm! or military.

THE LECAL ABl'RIIT i OF CIVIL OFFICERS APPOINTED BV THE MILITARY. I find It impose. Me undrthe piovision? of this act to rotqirrbend such an oWcis! ns a Governor ot one of these State appointed to office by one of those military commanders. er'ftoiy he i not tbe Governor recognized bv the laws of the State, elected bv the people of the State, and clothed as such with the chief executive power. ori? be appointed as a military Governor for a Srite, which ha? no lawful Governor, under the prepare of au existing necessity, to exercise power-at Urge.

The intention, no doubt, was to appoint him to nil a vacancy occasioned by a military order, and to put bun in tbe place of the removed Governor, to execute the functions of tbe office as provided bv Jaw. Tbe law take? no cognisance ot such of an official, and he la clothed ith no authority or color of authority. What is ttue ns to tlie governor equally true as to all tbe other legislative, executive, and judicial officers of the Stare. If tbe military c.nimander can oust one from his office, he can them ail. If be can till one vacancy he can fill all vacancies and thus uiirp all civil furisdiction into his own hands or the hands ot those who lio-d thetr appointment? from him and subject to fits poworot removal, ami thus Jruhtrate ihe very right secured to the people bv this act.

Ort-tiniv this act i rigorous enough in the wer hu it gives With all it? revet it tlie right of erecting their own still lett itb the jcople, aid it he preervcd. THF MILITARV COMMANDERS ARK MERE PRESERVER OF 11 HLfC ORDER. PEACE AND SAFETY. I must not lie under a fixing limit? to the lower of the militarv commander in case of actual imum-ctimi -r -t. It may happen that an inur-rection one of th States may ha so general and fotmidai'lc to require tbe temporary sntension of all ciril puveimrent.and the ostatdibbmcni ot marl r.l law in its place.

And the same thing may N' t.ue as 1. local disorder or riot retereuce to the civil government of tbe city or place where it break? out. WhatfVer joweris neces-orv to met emergencies the military commander may properly exercise. 1 confine nivsi it to the pror authority 1 the military commander where -e an I order prevail. When joace and order do prevail, it is not ollowal lc to displace the IvJ officer? and apjunt Others in tbeir places, under any idea that the miti-tar commander can better perforin hisduiie aid earnout the general purposes of tae act bv the agency of civil officer? of hit own choice rather ihan by the lawful Tbe act gives him no rglit to ieut to such agency, but does give him the right to bare a suffii font militarv force to enib'e Inm to perform his duties anq enforce hs authority within the district to which he is In the suppression ol insurrection and riot, the military commander i wholly independent of the civil authority.

So. too. the trial and punishment ol criminal? and offciitfeni, he mav supersede the civil jurisdiction. Hi-pwor to be exercise! in thse special emergencies and the means are put into his hands bv which it is to Ik that is piay, a sufficient military force to enable such officer to In duties aud enforce hi authority, ami military tribunal of hi uwn apjKunt-nint to trv and punih offcnd'r. These are strictly military jswer-, to le exicutwi by mil-iary an-tivritv, not bv th civil anthoritv bv civil officers apfs-intwl hv him to pertenu onlmrv civil duties.

II these etnergenefo do hapfr-ri, it civil order ir reserved, amt crimim's are by tbe regular criminal courts, tbe'mditary powcr tliougb present remain jnssive. Ir? proj-r Inncf ion is to picervc the iae. to act proniptlv wlten the peace i broken, aud restore ord t. When that is d.u ami the civil auihmtv may agiin safely rt-sume ir? tunctiocs, th lnary piwtr become? agdn pa-s ve, but on guard and wavhlul. Tin-1, in my judgment, is the whole scpe of the mi.i'ary jiwer ennterred hr this act, and iu arriving at this construction tbe act.

I have found nocesart torcsoitto tbe strict construction which is allowable. TIIE COMMANDERS ARE SOT LFClsLVTOBS. NOR CAN 1HEY IMBP THE FlNcrioIfs OF CJS-GBEsS. What has leen said Indicate? mv opinion as to any suipoed power of tbe rail tary ommander to change tr mwtitvtbe laws mtirie.

The 1 winch passed this ac, undertook in eerta g'ave to change tl esc laws, sn these J.anges lieing made, tie CVugrisa saw no further necessity of but weie content to leave all th? other liws In tuJ force, but subject to this emphatic declaration, thar a to th as laws and such future changes as might I exjedent tbe question ofexpe-iiency and the poser to alter, amend or abolish, was reset vd for the paramount anthoritv ot the United States at any time to attolisto, mo tit contro. or sn Tede tf same.

Where, then, d-es a military commander hud authority to abolish, modifv. control, orsupcis do anv of these lawj? AN EM MEKA1IDN OF TIIE MONSTROUS OF NH'KLCH. SHERIDAN AND ORD. The enumeration of the extraordinary owers exercised by be military commanders in some ot the district would extend this opiiuon to an unreasonable length. A tew instances must suffice.

In one of thee districts tbe Governor ot a State las been dej-ed under a threat of military force. anl anotlier persn. called a Governor, ha been appointed bv the mtllitarv commander to hll hi place. 1 liu presenting tue Btrange spectacle ot an official intrusted with the cbiel jower to eve ute the law? the State who authonly is not recouized hv the law he is calle 1 ujon to execute. In the same di-tnct the iudge of one ot tbe criminal courts ol the State Las been suaim inly dealt with.

Tl.e act ot Congress does give authority to the military (mmander. in case? ot necessity, to transfer the jun(ltction of a criminal court to a nul.tary tribunal. That living tlie specibr authority aver the criminal courts given bvtbeact.no other aiiCioiltv over tl can be lawfully bvthe military con mander. But in this msiunce the judge bv ii il.urv onicr, lieen ejected from his office, and a prtvMte cili7en has been appoints judge in bis place, by military authority, and is nowin the exciciseof criminal jurisdiction over all crimes, misdemeanors and offences' committed within tbe tcrritorifal jurisdiction of the court. This military apfsiintoe is cei Uinly not authorized to try anv one lor any otrencc as a member ot a urifarvtribuual, and he ha? just as little authority to trv and punish anv odender a a judge ot a criminal court ot tiie State.

It happen? th.fr this private citizen, tbu place-1 on tiie bench, is thesle judge in a criminal court win se extend? ra ca-es involv-ing tbe life ot theaecn-ed. it he has anv iulicial I-owc in any case, he ba? the same ower to take cognizance of cafital eases, and toseritenre the accused to death, and order hi execution. A strange where the judge am! tlie cn ninjJ mTv very well change places; for if the eniuinal ha? unUwtuI! taken life, m. too, doe the judge.

lt another ot these districts a bodv of militarv edicts, issued in general and special orders regularly and in occasional circulars, have been prouiulgated, which already begin to a-ime the dimension of a code. These milit mr onl-rs modify tiie existing law in the remedies t.r tbe codecboo of debts, the enforcement of judgments and decree lor (lie payment of money, staving iroceeditig in-silluted. prohibiting, in certain ca-es, the right to bring suit, enjoimug proceedings on execution for the term ol twelve months, giving new lien in cer-taio cases, establishing homestead exemptions, declaring what shall be a legal tender, abolishing certain cam? the lemony by foreign attachment, abolisbirg bail a heretofore au hormed in case er rontraefu. but tiot in other cases, known aac-tioii ex tiHtrlo," end ebaugiug, iu several tarti-u-lai, the law a to tbe pumfrituent of crime, aud directing that tlie dines retcrrel to -liall be punished bv imprisonment at bard labor fora term not exceeding ten vear nor less than two are. in the discretion of the court having jurisdiction tliereot.

rttlFF JCHTIOK OHASES OPINION ABOUT IT. Upon tbe mot too made by the Stato of M1lsaippj bethre tbe feupreme Court ot the Coiled Stotos at ita late lei for leave to file a hill against ihe Pres REPUBLICAN. ST. LOUIS: WEDNEDA M0RX1KG JUNE 19, 13G7. Prospective Alliance between Germany and the U.

S. of America. The idea that Germany and the United States of America should he allied powers is haunting the heads of a great many Badical German journalists. The sale of the Dander-berj? to France in preference to Prussia, ax' they state it, occasioned the first declamations regarding the matter. They say that, daring the late war, we enjoyed all the sympathies of Germany, whilst France, on the contrary, created for os all the difficulties she possibly could.

When, therefore, Prussia made an ofier for the Dunderberg, the ship should rather have been sold to her than to France, even if the latter had offered a larger sum. They insinuaU-d that there is a certain secret understanding of Mr. Sewakd with the Emperor of France, and they admonish the German population of America to bring to hear their full influence with our Government to entertain the most friendly feelings towards Germany, and make her an ally of the United States. The great mistake in this, as in many other political matters, is the notion of most of German politicians that sympathies and not interests are the soarce of political action. So long as Germany is r.ot a maritime power, and so long as there is a recognized supremacy of Great Britain above France on the seas, all the friendship in the world shown by Germany towards the Union will not create the iielief in our country that we will have more to gain by an alliance with Germany than by a policy which neutralizes the influence of England by strengthening France.

The Dunderberg ia the possession of France is an arm for ns in the hands of the Emperor against England. That eventually he may use that arm against Prussia Las not been and scarcely could be an element in any American Ministers diplomatic combinations. The Union does not know any power on earth which possibly might interfere with her reign on the oceans but England and France. To foster animosities between them, and at all events to balance their power by always sustaining the weaker of tlie two, is our natural policy. We certainly do not like the English as a natiou more than we do the French; and yet we are persuaded that, whenever France would become the stronger of the two, and assume a hostile, defiant position, we at once wouid seek t-o tarn the tcales by taking sides with England, unless a great actual benefit were to be attained by a temporary humiliation of Great Britain.

To weaken France may perhaps be good policy for Prussia; it certainly is no such thing for us. In order to show tbe run of ideas in the heads of onr German Badical fellow-citizens, we will here translate a passage from a speech delivered lan week by Mr. Bapp, at the inauguration of a great German Turner festivity, at Baltimore, Maryland. Mr. Rapp spoke as follows: It Is just among tbe German population of a maritime American city where it in best an ieratod that the deliverance of German? has to come from abroad and uom the sea.

That is the reason why they enjoy tbe sight a fiag which combine the colors of the Empire uf the great Frederick with the colors of the ok! Hanseatic cities. Even in the bead of tne President of the United States there is dawning tbe presentment of the future grandi nr ol the German evj-le. it is under that impr(eton that be has e-nr a anl a frieml ot Getmanr, like Mr. thuxcroit, as oar Minister to Berlin! I- it presumptuous or tanoiiul to dream of a fntnre alliance ltween tb United State and 4wn German fatherland; which through uni tv is to finally reach freedom and acuiocracv? The bond bet ecu the two nations hec-imes stronger trom dv to uty by the action ot tbe ma-ses ot Germin-An. means.

Too nure they bring to bear on America their particular German views and ct.dcavors, Treented by the association of the Tcrn-Ts so the more do we promote tbe ajvrowh ot the United States and Germany. Xiie Germans. iv lair fighting have the.r good tight in tbe I 1 ted State. Aud because they, without any odivj preiadirt are witling to grant to even dy, with. ut any luuxlfty ih Ctiu.luatiuD Ot CnloT, hlS li.hS aul priVtl-jfsI they will not jermil their own rights to ie curta led.

bo country the whole woriti has shown so manvstm-jnnhje durwe tbe time oi onr fete trial aeGrmauv. in Germanv the belief in our exotrnee as a nati was never lost, and 111 th sultasrnl manner did the German ail u. bt thur credit. Oa other jeof4ediJ tbe woik ol librrafru aud reuntriui; ll.e whole American nation make such an on Genuanv, and just in tbe same manner will the example ol America promote union and libertv in Germany, iiurtali, theretore, for thelutureaUiance between the I nited States of America and Germany. have lately applauded a great many essay's and orations of a similar stamp.

Tbe embryonic statesmen at the 8t Louis High School have delivered at least a dozen model fourth of nly speeches. In one of them St Louis appeared as the very heart of the civilized world- If another of the incipient Ciceros had attempted to elaborate tbe theme of the -aHianee between Germany and America, he might perhaps have discovered some more reasonable points than Mr. Rapp. In a more juvenile le and with a more childish imagination, the youngest graduate of that school could not Lave treated the question than this Mr. Rait, who, for tlie last twenty years or so, ha been tbe editor of daily papers in America, and who for many, many years has been a full grown man He wears boots like a man, and has a beard like a man.

Tbe celebrated Henry Heie used to say of a similar chap: But bis brain still is wrapped in a swaddling doth:" The Wyandotte Murder. Vie take pleasure in complying with the request of citizens of Wyandotte, Kansas, by publishing the proceedings of a meeting held there to give expression to the public indignation felt at tbe outrage committed by tbe mob, who murdered two negroes at that place on the night of the 13th inst. This action of theirs is a good beginning, in which we are glad to learn the leading and influential of all parttet were concerned. We would have been better satisfied, however, had the meeting adopted the original resolution presented, authorising their county commissioners to offer a reward for tbe capture of both classes of murderers the secret assassins of the peaceable Michael and the banded assassins who slew the captured and imprisoned negroes. Had this been done it would have appeared that they made no discrimination between these murderers, which now scarcely seems to be the cnee.

It is something, however to find a wbnto community, as appears to have been the case at Wyandotte, calliug crimes by their right names, by denouncing tbe oflence of the mob which disgraced that community as murder. It is to be hoped the outraged citizens of Wyandotte will not stop with the mere nse of words, but that they will follow up the expression oi abhorrence of tbe crime, by promptly ferreting out tlie offenders, an-i bringing llie leaders, at least, to punishment. Unlee? they do this, the stigma of glossing over the infamy will attach to the name of Wyandotte, aud cause men who wish to settle iu orderly, peace-lovingaud law-abiding communities to give that city a wide tk-rlb, as we happen to know has been the case in those counties of Missouri, where banded murderers under the name of Vigilant Committees have heretofore held high carnival, terrorizing and awing with silence the abhorrence of sober-minded, prudent and honorable men in their midst. Let it hereafter be understood that mobs, whether vigilance committees, or by whatever name known, who take the life of a human being without tbe authority of law, are bat murderers and to be treated as such, and we shall soon have done with their outrages. Should tkisfottew as a con-sequence of the murder of tbe two negroes at Wyandotte, it may be said that tbeir cold-blooded murder has resulted in public benefit.

Brake, of Bollinger county, aud bad him locked np in Fred-ericktown jail Bkake had borrowed horse, saddle and bridle from a citizen of Madison county aud roM-d him off into Bollinger, where bis father resides. The iutentiou is to break Brake of his fondness for the flesh ol other people's liotecs. If he don't break jail, this may be done, though tbe hore was bay and not dun. On Sunday, the the body of Mr.

Stirling 1i.nton, found on the banks of the Little St. Francis, some four miles from Ftedericktown, Madison conuty. The deceased bad been missing for about a weak. A Cor-ooer's jury decided that be cams bis death by accidentally falling from a rocky bluff and breaking his nock. On Wednesday of bud week, a little daughter of Mr.

Gahukkl, of Rolla, while playing about an open public wU at that place, fell in and was drowned. The Herald censures the city authorities for neglect to permitting tbe dangerous uuisanoe to exist. The Bona Brrvtd says that some two weeks ago an incendiary set fire to and burned the dining-room, smoke-house, stables, of James A. Texasxnuty. Among other property about a thousand ponods of bacon was destroyed.

JAMES B. GOFF. ATyORNKV AT UW, o4Nr wfliiuiWTseEr.orrostTErowt orricc Indian Murders, We are in receipt of a letter from a correspondent at Fort Wallace, Kansas, giving tbe details of tlie murder by Indians, of a Mr. Fa-vions arfl his companions, while out bunting their stock in that vicinity, on the 3d instant. Some days ago, however, we gave a short account of these murders, substantially as given in the letter before us with the exception of the mutilation of the dead bodies), and nlo of the failure of Captain Keogh to overtake and punish the murderers.

We take this occasion, however, to suggest to our correspondent that the mode he recommends of taking private vengeance ou the redskins is a bad one. Men are it is true, in defending tbeir persons aud property, no matter who the aggressor may le, nor what the consequences, but it ie all wrong for private individuals to undertake the punishment of supposed offenders of mhatexer grade, whoa there are laws to be obeyed, and oflicers authorized to enforce obedieuce. Bettor to lend assistance to those in authority, and await their action, though that may seem slow, or even uncertain, in bringing olhmders to jueiica. Auy other course is liable to involve tbe innocent with the guilty, and finally to provoke a repetition of the wrongs complaine of, by attempts at counter retaliation. Excursion Tickets.

J. H. Whitman, General Western Agent, lias consummated all arrangements for excursion tickets, at reduced rates, by Chicago, Alton St. Louis, Michigan Central and Grand Trunk railways, in connection with 6toamers on Bt. Lawrence river, tor all cities and waterlog places in the East.

Tickets for sale at the ticket offioe in the Southern Hotel, where full information can be obtained. On tbe inst Mr. Warmer, of Weston, shipped thirty-six bales of Platte county hemp direct to Bo-ton. It wa to go through in nine days and without change of cars.

I)r. Ligrlitliill. Dr. Lighthill desires us to announce that his reception hours will be from 9 till 3 during dune only, and that patients in tlia city or from the country are furnished with the instruments and treatment to take home with them. His offices are at 71 Pine, corner of Seventh.

arrrlrr Place. A picnic is advertied by the proprietors of tld beautiful suburban property for next Saturday, tbe 2id iat. This excursion combines pleasme with business, and to those wishing to invest in this kind of property, offers great advantages, affording as, it does an opportunity to examine each lot prior to the sale! We infer, from the notice in another column, that ladies and families are invited. We advise all who are seeking suburban residence property to embrace this opportunity. They will have a pleasant time even if they should not select a lot to purchase.

Eiffel Faraa at A To-moitow. The sale of this property takes place to-wor-tow at ten o'clock a. m. The tract is subdivided with regard to the convenience and wants of purchasers, the pieces varying in size from sixteen to seventy-five acres each. The orchard, dweliiug house, out-buildings, all will positivy be sold, as the owner is puing to have tbe country.

That we highly appreciate and applaud the wi-dom, foresight and couraems er-ibtcnce of the patriotic turn who inaugarnted the fnand enterprise of ihe Pacific Railway, and believing that its feasibiLity and utility have been already leerly demonstrated, we congratulate them and the country uoa the suice-s which haacrowned their ert rts.

That. lwln fullv tatiefied of tbe manv advantages attending the location of tbe road through Kanias, by reason of the inexhaustible fertility of the soil, the salubrity of th climate and the industry and intelligence of its rapidly increariug population, we earnestly recommend it to the cordial snjfKrt oi the Government and the capitalist? cl he country. 3. That alter a personal survey of apartoftb conn try through which the Kjstcrn Division of the Pacific Railway is located we confidentially predict that the eucresKl'al nroeocution of that road will effect the best and most economical solution ot the Indian question, by uniting a continuous line of settlement across tbe cotitir.ent; and by affording at ecrr station abase of ofKMwtions fr such military movements a-may heir alter become oeoes-arv. 4th.
