WASUINOTON. December 81.-Tn tho elaborate opinion of Mr. Justice Davis against the constitu? tionality of the trial ol' citizens by Military Courts the following paragraphs appear: It can never be in a country of written constitutions, with a judi? cial department to interpret them, that anv Chief Magistrate would be so far forgetful of his dutv as to order the elocution of a man who had de? nied tho jurisdiction that tried and convicted him. The caso afterwards had been brought before Federal Judges, with power to decide it. who being npablo to agreo in the grave question it in? volved, had, according to known law, sent it to tho Supreme Court of the United States for deci? sion. But even the suggestion is injurious to thc Executive; aid we dismiss it from further consideration. There is therefore nothing to hinder ibis Court from an investigation of the merits of this controversy. The control? ling question in the caso is this: Upon the facts st? ted in Mulligan's petition and exhibits filed, had the Military Commission mentioned in the exhibits jurisdiction to sentence Mulligan, ho not being a resident of the rebellious States or a prisoner of war-a resident of Indiana for twenty years past, and never in the military or naval ser? vice-is, while at his home, arrested' bv the milita? ry power of the United States, imprisoned, and. on cort.in criminal charges brought against him, tried, convicted and sentenced to be hanged, bv a Military Commission organized under the direction of thc commander of the Military District of In? diana. Had this tribunal tho legal power and authoritv to try and punish thiB man ? No graver question was over considered by this Court, nor ono which moro nearlv concerns "thc rights of the whole people; for it "is the birthright of every American citizen, when charged with crime, to be tried and punished according to law. The power of punishment is alone through the means which the laws have provided for that purpose, and if they aro ineffectual, there ia an immunity from punishment, no matter how grave an offender the iudividual may be, or how much his crimes mav have shocked "thc 6ense of justice of the countr'v or endangered its safety.

Meering witli brislUug back, somi lay aside. Their snarling aspect, anil ?TI sportive cliase. Excursive ecour, or wallow in the snow.*' The old Euglish poet here gives in a few lines a very lively picture of thc New Year's holiday, as observed in the oldc.ii time. There always has been more or less festivity connected with the celebration of tho Kew Year, both with Jew and Christian, Tagan and Mahommcdan. Thc transi? tion from thc old year lo thc new is naturally suggestive of feelings both of sorrow and of joy. All feel thc solemnity of the occasion; sorrow and regret at thc departing year, joy and welcome to thc new, that carries.in its bosom so much of hope and happiness. Of all periods Ibis is tho mest usual, as it ia tb?: most fitting, for looking inward, for self-examination, for forming resolution-! to do better, for turning over a now leaf, tor taking a fresh start, etc. An old writer has the following apropos remarks : Every first of January that wo ari ive at i> an im? aginary milestone on the turnpike track of human life; at" once a resting pave for thought and medi? tation, and a starting point for fresh exertion in tho performance of our journey. Tho man who does not at least propose to himself to be better this year than he was last, must be either very g od or very bad indqed! And only to propose ti) be better, is something ; if nothing ?he. it is an acknowledgment of our need to be BO, which is thc first step toward .amendment, lint, in fact, to pro? pose to oneself to do well, is in sonv: sort to do well, positively; for thero is nu such thing as a stationary po nt in human endeavors ; lu-who is not worse to-day than he was yesterday, is better : and ho who is not bettor, is worse. Merry-makings on New Year's Eve and Now ivar's Day are of very ancient date in England, "heir proximity to Christmas doubtless gives Hiern somewhat of a Yule coloring. The head of the house assembled his family around a howl ol' spiced ale, imually called "lamb's wool," from which he drank their hcalt'.is, then passed il to thc rest that they might drink too, earing Wuss hid ! (to your health). Hence this caine to bc recog? nized as tho Wassail bowl. Thc poorer class ol' people carried a bowl adorned willi ribbons round the neighborhood, begging for something where? with to obtain the means of filling it. that they might enjoy wassail as well as the-rteh. lu their computations they had songs suitable to tho occa? sion ; doggerel many pf them, but brimful of rus? tic iunoconce and good fellowship. In Scotland the wassail bowl was held in sacred reverenco up to a very recent period. On the ap? proach of twelve o'clock, a hot pint was prepared that is a kettle or llagon of wann, spiced, and sweetened ale. with an infusion of spirits. When tho clock had struck thc knell of thc departed year, each member of thc family drank of this mixture 'A good health and a happy New Year, and many of them' to all fie rest, with a general hand? shaking, and perhaps a dance round the tablo. with the addition of a song to the tune of Hey tuttie latte : W eal may wc a' bc, 111 may wc never Heb. Here's to tbckiug And thc . coinpanicl ic. The elders of tho family would then most probably sally out with thc hot kettle, and bearing also a competent provision of buns and short-bread, or bread and cheese, with the design of visiting their neighbors, and interchanging with them tho same cordial greetings. If they mel by the way an? other party similarly bent, whom they knew, they would stop aud give and take sips from their res? pective kettles. Reaching tho friend's house, they would enter with vociferous good wishes, and soon send tho kettle a circulating. If they were the first to enter the house since twelve o'clock, they weis deemed as the first foot; and, as such, it was most important, for luck to the family in the coin? ing year, that they should make their entry, not empty-handed, but with their hands full of cakes and bread and cheese, of which, on thc other hand, civility demanded that each individual in the house should pariakc. Tn Holland, the New Year i- made much more of than cither in England or in other parts of thc Continent, and tho Gothamites, to this day. faith? fully observe this cheerful institution, handed down to them from thoir Knickerbocker ancestors. Thc giving of gifts, presents to friends, and sub? stantial assistaucc to the indigent, an old and time-honored custom. When pim. were first in? vented and brought into usc about the beginning of the sixteenth century, they were a New Year's gift very acceptable to ladies, and money given for thc purchase of them was called "pin-money," an expression which has been extended to a mm of money secured by a husband on his marriage for the private expenses ol' his wife. Pins made of metal, in their present form, must have been in uso some time previous to 1513, in which year a statute was passed (33 Hen. Y1IT. c. (I), entitled "An Acte for tho true makin? ofPynr.es," in which it was enacted that thc price charged should not exceed (ls. 8d. a thousand. Pins were previously made of boxwood, lione, and ?.?Iver, for thu richer classes; t hose used by the poor were nf com? mon wood -in fact, skewers. Tho custom of giving of presents among rela? tives and friends has much declined in Knglamh but is still kept up with surprising vigor in iv.ri*. where the day i: "specially recognized from this circumstance as Lr ./our d'Elm nw*. Parents thou bestow portions on their children, brothers on their sisters, and husbands make settlements oil their wives. Tho mere externals of the day. as observed in Paris, aro of a striking character; they were described as follows in an English journal, as obsorved in thc year 1821, while as yet the restored Bourbon reigned in Era nee : "Carrisgcs." says this writer, "may bo seen rolling through tho streets with cargoes of bon-bons, souvenirs, and the variety of etceteras with which little children and grown up children are bribed into good humor: and herc and there pastrycooks are to ho met with, carrying upon boards enormous temples, pagodas, churches, and playhouses, made of Uno Hour and sugar, and the embellishments which runder French pastry BO inviting. Dut there is one street in Paris to which a Now Year's Day isa whole year's fortune-this is tho Ruc des Lombards, where the wholesale confectioners reside; for in Paris everv trade ami profession has its peculiar iju?rtor. For several days preceding th<' 1st of January, the street is completely blocked np by the carts and wagons ladou wit : cases of sweet? meats for the provinces. These are of every form and description which the most singular fancy could imagine; bniichcsi of carrots, green peas, boots and shoes, lobsters and crabs, hats, hook::, musical instrumenta, gridirons, frying-pans, and sauco-pans; all made of sugar, ami colored tu im i tate reality, and all ni.ulf w-iih a hollcrv within lo hold the bou-bons. The most prevail j nj; device is what is called a cornel: that is, a little cone oriia ?nen'ed in different ways, willi a bag to draw over the large end. and close it up. lu (hes-.-Illings, the prices of which vary from one franc (20 cents; to fifty, thc bon-bons "are presented by those who choose to be at the expense of them, am! by those who do not, they are only wrapped ?ll a piece of paper; but bon-bons, in sumo way or other must be presented. It would not, perhaps, bean exag? geration to state that the amount expended for presents un New Year's Day in Paris, tor sweet? meits clune, exceeds 500,(11)0 francs, or JC20.U00 sterling. Jewelry is also ?old to a very huge amount, and thc fancy articles experted fn the fust week of the your to England and oilier cennlrics, is computed'at one-fourth ol'the ride during tho twelvemonths, lu Paris it is by no means uncom? mon for a man of 8UO0 or 10.1HMJ francs a year, to make presents on New Year's Day which cost him a fifteenth part of his income. No person able lo give must ou this day pay a visit empty-handed: Everybody accepts, and every mau gives according to the mean? which he possesses. Pernales alono arc excepted from the charge of giving. A pretty woman, respectably connected, inav reckon her New Year's presents al something considerable Gowns, jewolry, gloves, stockings, ami artificial Howers till her drawing-room; for in Paris it is a custom lo display all the gifts, in order to excite emulation, and to'obtaiii as much as possible. At the palace, the New Year's hay is a completjour de fete. Every branch of thc royal family is then expected lo make handsome presents to tho king. For the six months preceding ''january, 1821, the female branches we.e busily occupied iii preparing presents of their own iiia'iiufacliire, which'wiiiild lill.-it loast two couniu;!'-si/.ei!wagons. The Duch? ess ile Berri painted an .si'itiro- robin of japanned panels, lo be set up in the palace, ami the Duchess of Orleans prepared an elegant .-creen. An Kng lisb gentleman, who was admitted suddenly into thc presence of thc Duchess dc Derri t ?vu months before, found her and throe ol' ln>r maids ol' lintier lying un the carpet, painting thc l"gs or.a>:ct'.cf chairs, which wer? intended for the king. The day commences with the I'?iridiaos, al an barlv.'! hour, by thu interchange of lin ir visits and bon bons, '/.'bo nearest relation.-' are visited first! until tho furthest in blood have, hud their calls; then friends and acquaintances. Tho con Biet lo antici? pate each other's calls, occasions the most agree? able and whimsicai scenes among these proficients in polite attentions. In these risks, and in gos? siping at thc confectioners' shops, which are t lie great lounge tor the occasion, the morning Of New '"cat's Day is passed: a dinner is given by sonic ?ember of the family to all the rest, and the even? ing concludes, like Christmas Day with cards dancing, or any other amusement (hat may be preferred."
