Now thé mistake of Mr. Laucoln,on which
his whole letter is based, is in. & complete
misunderstanding of the constitutional pro-
vision on the subject of the writ of habeas
corpus. Thais mistake is vital. The pro-
vision is in these words:
“The privilege of the writ of habeas corpus
shall not be suspended uvless when in cases
of rebellion or invasion the public safety
may require it.”
The President construes this to read as
ollows: “In cases of rebellion or invasion

prisonment over the persons of all citizens,

or in peace, and that no provision is chang-

CURING A WIE
Mr. Dimlight, for the past ten years, has
prayed every day that his wife would tumble
down stairs and breuk her neck, or clse die
like a christain in her bead. :
The simple reason for this, that Mrs.
Dimlight was fond of complaining, taking
medicines, and having protracted irter-
views, wi h the docter ; all of which requir-
ed money, and money Mr. Dimlight bates
to part with.
In fact he had wuch rather part with Mrs

A paper was picked up in (he sweet last
night by a person returning from hearing
the three eminent divines spout in Library

«And 1,” said another, ‘have not been

your majesty has often regretted receiving
so few subjects. I have cultivated the most
intimate acquaintance with many of their
divines, and have pursuaded them to drop
the Bible and take up war politics,and they
are having a vast iufluence among the cirles
which have been wont to look to them for
advice.’

their hands in holy horror at sceing poor

Haman! We have an army of these pa
triots here, who imagine they are practice-
ing their raseabity without fear of discovery.
Some very rieh developments wil take
place 1 a few days, showing in what mau-
ner fortunes are made in this department,
aud how men come here very poor and in
a few months leave for the North witha
pocket full of plander. An examination is
pow going vn in regard to levying black
mail that seriously compromises some high
government officials. The proof is now be-
fore Gen. Kmory., and it is of the most pos-
itive character, so much so that it is impos-
sible for the parties referred to above Lo es-
cape. The charge now under investization
is but one of a series of the same charuc-
ter, some of them mrolving large amounts
of money, aud 1 shall be much mistaken if
you do not in a short time have a history
of some of the greatest villainies ever per-
petrated in this or any other country.

Only thirteen persons have been killed in

refuge with his family in our house, which
has suffered but slightly. To complete the
misfortune, three days after the earthquake
a complete deluge of rain fell, so that the
few provisions which the peasants had
hoped to save hava been completely de-
