-bill against thee President of the United States to enjoin him ag.inst executing the very Acts of Con gress now under consideration. the opinion of the court upon dismiss ing that motion-and it seems to have been unanimous-was deliv ered by the Chief Justice. I make - the following quotations from the opinion "Very difterent is the duty of the President in the exer cise of the power to see that the - laws are faithfully executed, and among those laws the Acts named - in the bill. By the first of these - -Acts, he is required to assign gen - erals to command in the several - military districts, and to detail - sufficient military force to enable such officers to discharge their -Auties under the law. By the supplementary Act, other duties - are imposed on the several com manding generals, and their duties must necessarily be performed under the supervision of the Preli dent as commander-in-chief. The duty thus imposed on the President is in no just sense ministerial. It is - purely executive and political." - - -y Certain questions have been pro pounded from one of these military districts touching the construction of the power of the military con mander to constitute military tr bunals for the trial of offenders. which I will next consider. - - Whilst the Act does nlot in -. terms displace the regular crimi nal courts of the State, it dues give the power to the military commander, when, in his judgment, :a necessity arises, to take the ad ministration of the criminal law into his own hands, and to try and punish offenders by means ol' ' military commission. - In giving construction to this power we must not forget the re - cent and authoritive ex osition given by the Supreme Court of the Unit-ed States as to the pow er of Congress to provide for mili tary tribunals for the trial of citi zens in time of peace, and to the emphatic declaration as to wlibch -. - there was no dissent or ditieren-e of opinion among the judges, that w such a power is not warranted by the Constitution. A single ex * - tract from the opinion of the minor ^ ity, as delivered by the Chief Jus -tiee will suffice. "We by no means - asser,t tha.t Congress cani establish - -a'apply the laws -of war where - no war has~been declared or ex - .ists. Where peace exists the laws - o f peace must prevail. What we -do maintain is, that when thc na - tion is involved in war, and some portions of the country are inva - ded, and all are exposed to inva - - sion, it is within the power of Con gress to determine in what State or district suchi great and( immi *nent public danger exists. as justi fies the:authorization of military tribunals.for the ti-ial of cri.mes and S- effences against the . discipline or -- - --security of -the army or against - iitn ms0 here s-imnply to -heconstruction f hs c of - Congress, and to'the question in - whit way it should be executed, I have no hesitation in saying that nothing short of an absolute or - contromiag necessity would give * - .any color of authority for arraign ing a acitizen before a military commission. A person charged with crime in any of these milita * - iy districts has rights to be pro tected, rights the most sacered and inviolable, and among these the right of trial by jury; according~ to the }aws.of the land. When a citi ew is arraigned beforu a~ military e6mmissibn on a criminal charge he is no longer under the protec tion of law, nor surrounded wit hi those safeguards which L.re proni * ded in the Constitution. * This Act passed in a time of peace. whenm all ihe courts, State and Federal, ure in the undis * . turbed exercise of their jurisdie * idn, authorizes, at the discretion of a military .ofieer, the' seizure. trial and condemnation of the citi zen. The accused .may be sen tenced to death, and the sentence * may be excnted, without indict ment, without counsel. without a jury and without a judge. A sen teuce which forfeits aill the pre.p erty of the accused requires no approval. - , If it affects the liberty of the accused it reo"ires the approval of the commanding general; aiai if it affects his life, it re - quires the approval of the General and of the President. Military and exec tive authority rule throughout, in the * trial, the sentence, and the executions. No habens corp us from any State court can bc invoked ; for this la4w declares tha t "all interference, under color of State author *ity,; with the-exercise of military author ity uinder this Act, shall be null and void." I repeat it that nothing short of an ab solute necessity can give any co!or of au thority to a military commiande:r to cal into exercise such a powe~r. It is a now er, the exercise of which may involve him and every one concerned in the gravest respoinibilities. The occasion for its exercise should be reported at once to the Execntive for such instruc tions as may be dleemled necessary and proper. Questions have arisen whether, unir this power, these military commissioners can take cognizance of offences commint tedl before the passage of the -Act, and whether any can try and punish for acts not made crimes or offences by Federal or S!ate law. I am clearly of opinion that they have no iurisdiction as to either. Thecy can ta :e cognizance of no offence that has niot happened after the law took effect. inasmuch as the tribunal to punmsh. and the measure or degree of punishment are established by this Act, we mn a on strue it to be prospective, andl not C active. OthierwiseC it wonl take t nh.'~,.ir~pr ( nfl ~'Y'~ ~:C)Yt~. facto aw. not hesitate to v:, it cannot apply to past oifences. There is no legislative power given under this military Uil to establish a new criminal code. The authority given is to try and punish criminals and offend ers, and this prouceed:; upon t he idlea that crimes and otfences have been commit ted ; but no person can be called a crimi nal or an offender for doing an act which, when done, was not prohibited by law. But, as to the measure of punishment, I rtgret to be obliged to say that it is left altogether to the military authorities, with only this limitation, that the pun ishment to be inflicted shall not be cruel or unusual. The muilitarv commission may try the accused, fix the measure of punishment, even to the penalty of death, and direct the execution of the sentence. It is only when the sentence affects the "life or liberty" of the person that it need be approved by the commanding general, and only in cases where it af fects the life of the accused that it needs also the approval of the President. As to crimes or offences against the laws of the United States, the military authority can take no cognizance of them, nor in any way interfere with the regular administration ofjustice by the appro priate Federal courts. In the opinion heretofore given upon other questions arising under these laws, I give at large for your consideration the grounds upon which my conclusions were arrived at, intending thereafter to state these conclusions in a concise and clear summary. I now proceed to execute that purpose, which is made especially necessary from the confu,ion and doubts which have arisen upon that opinion in the ublic mind, caused in part by the errors of te1cgr:ph and the press in its publication, and in part by the inapti tude of the general reader to follow care fully the successive and dependent steps of a protracted legal opinion.

Come aged, come youthful, come ugly and fair. And rejoice in your owu luxuriant hair. REPARATOR CAPILLL. For restoring hair upon bald heads (from whatever cause it may have fallen out) and forcing a growth of hair upon the face, it has no equal. It will force the beard to grow upon the smoothest face in from five to eight weeks, or hair upon bald heads in from two to thrce months. A few ignorant practition ers have asserted that there is nothing that will force or hasten the growth of the hair or beard. Their assertions are false, as thou* sands of living witnesses (from their own experier ce) can bear witness. But many will say, how are we to distinguish the gent ine from the spurious ? It certainly is diffi cut, as nine%tenths of the different Prepa rations advertised for the hair and beard are entirely worthless, and you may have alrea dy thrown away large amounts in their pur chase. To such we would say, try the Re, parator Cappilli; it will cost you nothing un less it fully comes up to our representations. If your Druggist does not keep it, send us one dollar and we will forward it, postpaid, together with ei receipt for the money, which will be returned you on application, providing entire satisfaction is not given .
