The Kee cut Derision of thc Supreme Court. .The Richmond Examiner, of the 2ith, in noticing the recent action of the Supremo Court of the United States, bearing upon the rights of a citizen of that State, says : "Step by step, we are making our. way back to the old familiar foot-prints of Con? stitutional liberty and law. Last year, military commissions followed swift ono upon tho other. Mr. Stanton and Mr. Holt had little idea, then, of surrendering up the gigantic power they had acquired during the war. The President, with all his generous instincts for liberty, allowed them to have their own way, und, accordingly, we beheld men tried, convicted, punished-sometimes by death-by tribunals which, possessing no legal sanction whatever, seemed inspired solely by a thirst for human blood. Almost at the last moment, one of tho intended victims of this hateful tyranny was snatched from the grasp of the military commission, and the case carried, by a*writ of habeas cor? pus, before the United States Su? preme Court. This.august tribunal beard the case and decided it at its ?asi. term. It will .ever be a memora? ble' cause, for tho matchless argu? ment of judge Black, delivered ou the occasion, but far more by reason of tho important principles which were determined, and as making an epoch in the history of American liberty. By the release of Milligan, a blow was struck at the whole struc? ture of tyranny, which Messrs. Holt and Stanton had so ingeniously built up. From that time, the President exhibited a marked repugnance to | military commissions, and he has seized the occasion of the formal publication of the decision to set them aside iu the very first instance brought to his attention. "In this decision we behold a cheer? ing indication that the Supreme Court will not cower before the breath of the majority iu the Northern States, but will proceed, calmly, impartially and fearlessly, to administer the Con? stitution and laws. A majority of this court were .appointed by Mr. Lincoln, but the influence of thc judicial office hava lifted them far above the passions of party. For some time p:ist, we have looked with hope to this branch of the Govern? ment for the rescue of a dishonored Constitution. The power of this tribunal over public opinion has ever ' been and must continue very, great. The radicals have seen this, and have vainly sought to purchase the court, by intimating to bestow upon it the patronage which, according to our form of Government, rightfully be? longs io iue President. In this de? cision, and the forthcoming decreo setting aside the test oath for attor? neys, the revolutionary demagogues of the hour will read the failure of their schemes. The court will despise their bribes and their threats, iu its calm discharge of duty. "Now, that the civil tribunals are re -instated in all their j ust rigor and integrity, it behooves them to show a jealous regard for the law, a disposi? tion to examine and try fairly all cases of orime, and a determination to punish all offenders, regardless of color or station. Every man must be made to feel and to know that ho is under the law, and no matter how ho violates it, whether by lawless vio? lence or by interference with the courts of justice, nuder pretense of a military jurisdiction, he should bo brought to condign punishment." NORTHERN EMIGRATION TO TENNES? SEE.-A Tennessee paper says: Coffee County is fast becoming a Pennsyl? vania colony. Some fifteen to twenty families from that Stute have pur? chased land around Concord and Oak Hill, and are settling. They have already laid out some $35, OOO for lands,* und "the cry is still they come." They are excellent farmers and good citizens, and we have ample room for all such. Ono of them have purchased the extensive Catron property, in Tullahoma. Hon. James Semple, formerly United States Senator from Illinois, and afterward United States Minister to Bogota, died on Friday last. THE GUARANTEE CLAUSE.-Section .1 of Article 4 of the Constitution of tho United States says: "The United States shall g naran tee to each State a Republican form of Government, and shall protect each of them against invasion," ?fcc. The President of the United States, the Supreme Court,* and the Con? gress, by much of its legislation, has reeoguized the ten States now threat? ened with reduction to a Territorial status, as States. They are iu the performance of all the functions of States. They Lave republican forms of Government, so adjudged to be by all the recognized standards. Sup? pose Congress -were to overthrow .these States, and set aside their forms-of Government, and proceed to appoint their executive oi?icers and administer them by Territorial au? thority, woidd not this present a case for the exercise of tho authority which shall make good the guarantee of a republican Government? When an attempt was made, within the State of Ehodo Island, in 1842, to subvert the existing State Govern? ment, President Tyler was invoked, under this clause, to maintain its au? thority, and he did it; and his action was sustained by the Supreme Court. The attempt of Congress to subvert the State Governments of Virginia, North Carolina, <fce., ?fcc, would be more flagrant, if possible, thau the Dorr movement in Rhode Island. When their Governors appeal to tho United States to uphold the guaran? tee of the Constitution, can the Pre? sident refuse it? If'he should inter? pose to maintain their just authority, what will Congress do? The radicals have been justifying many of their enormous abuses of power under this guarantee clause, but this would be a legitimate case for the exercise of its authority, and muy yet become a "poisoned chalice to their lips." [Nashville Union and Dispatch. BEGES'NINO TO SEE.-The Albany j Evening Journal, a strongly radical paper, observing the dangerous, head? long tendency of Mr. Stevens, in his leadership in the National Legisla? ture, says, with considerable force: "There is a great and growing dan- ] ger that, in carrying forward the pro- i cesses of reconstruction, a tendency will be constantly exhibited to go fur? ther and faster than the condition of the country or tho sentiment of the people warrants.- The electors of the North have decided, and rightfully decided, that the Governments of the I Southern States are not Republican in form, and that they should be made conformable to the Federal Constitution. This is a state of facts resulting from the condition in which those communities were left by war, and the action contemplated is justi? fiable only in view of tho emergencies which were created by war, and the power that war conferred. But, in recognizing the existing prerogatives of Congress, the people did not in? tend to confer power upon it to re? model tho Government, reconstruct all the States of the Union, or revo? lutionize tho system upon which it has thus far been maintained. If Thad. Stevens and his followers thus interpret tho decisions of the late elections, it will not tako them long to discover that they have made a supremo mistake." We agree with the Buffalo Com? mercial Advertiser, that it would have been wiser in tho Journal, if it had taken this moderate tone of policy earlier in the day, before the men whom it now condemns had grown into such prominence and influence in the party. But we hail it, now, as an able co-worker in the good causo of moderation, conciliation and pru? dence, for which wo have alv, ays ear? nestly labored. CUKBENC? CONTRACTED -The New York Times, in discussing the cur? rency question expresse? the convic? tion that fixed and moderate contrac? tion of the currency, bringing us nearer, every month, to the specie standard, would cheapen the cost of living, and so to increase the means and comfort of the people with a certainty attainable in uo other way. 'As to the disturbances of trade, which so many fear, we are told .these will occur anyhow. "Nothing can prevent them, and (the editor reasons) we shall be botter oil' when they are ended than now." "As for the manufacturers, the Times thinks that their true relief lies in thc di? rection of a reform in the internal revenue system rather than in an in? crease in customs duties. Their worst troubles spring from thc dear? ness of labor, which is a result of the inflated currency, and from the op? pressive taxation incident to the ex? isting system of internal revenue." Messrs. Cramer & Williams'? wagon and agricultural implements works, in Cincinnati, were destroyed by fire on Saturday morning. Loss $18,000. Insurance '$13,000. SPECIAL NOTICES.
