THE LAW FOR THE CITIZEN THE DEBAUCH
ERY OF THE TIMES.
Tho sixth tirtiulo of tho Amend-
mentH to tho ConBtitiition contains
not lows than cii'ht limitations of
tloyal power, viz :
1st. In nil criminal ' proscciitionHjmtl. im., t,o hands of tho civil courifl
the accused shall have a speedy trial
2d. lie muni bo tried publicly, nnd
cannot bo tried necretly.
3d. llo shall bo tried by an imptir-
tittljury.
4th. Ho cannot be taken away
from his own Stato nnd district to bo
tried.
6th. Tho district can only bo de
termined by the law : neither tho
President nor ajiy other Federal offlcer
has any discretionary power in tho
CllRO.
Gth. llo must bo informed of tho
iicfusntion niiinst him to enable his
doluiners lo hold him.
tb. llo cannot bo denied process
to obtain witnesses fur hid del'onvo.
('th. llo cannot be denied tho nosis
tnnco of counsel.
This is what tho supremo law on
tho lanu says, anu no net tltul tho
Kurnp can pass can set il nsido. And
tho President cannot violate it with
out cniiitnil-tiiij perjury and runderinu;
imnseif HaOlo lo lio runistiod like n"J
other criminal.
Congress has no powor to givo tho
President a permit to override, tho
Constitution. Congress has no origi
nal powers ; its powers tiro all only
derived or delegated powers. The
earned IIornoTooko once said, in his
celebrated speech defending his right
to a scat in Parlanieiil, "If thero is
any ono principle incoulestiblo, il is
this that no ono can de!ou;ato u delo
gated powor'' The military sal raps
who Iiavo relied upon the acts of Con
gress to shield them from tho coiipo
qtienccs of violated laws may find
themselves finally caught in u fatal
trap.
Let every man remember that tho
supremo law is over him, ovor Prosi-

and if ho dares to break thy strong

(ion recognizes no such thing us a wut
pnwcrjullcusl wecannot find it in thai
instrument, nor is thero any oilier
power vested in tho Presidont which
makes him nbovo the law nt any
timo. Tho public mind seems to ho
very ignorant concerning martini and
military law, which uro by no means
ono and tho samo thing. General
Halleck says in his military work,
nnd General Halleck ought to bo good
authority with tho Republican party :
"Martial law has often been confound'-d with
military law, but the two are very ditr.-rent.
Military law, with us, ..insist, of the rules and
articles of war, and other statutory provi.ions for

Even General Halleck toys' the bounded will."
President has no power to declare! If tho brigands of tho adminislra
ninrtial law over n Stale, or even to lion would study tho heathen churac

Martial law, no mailer where pro j prevent bis people from muking war

grout Anligonus, who gave tho author
this reply : "Thou art in tliu wrong,

had persuaded tha Athenian! to go to

Rut wo must return to our tubiect
of "martini law." Durinir tIB terri

in 182,'J, w here even women and chil
dren were murdered with unspeaka
ble atrocity, a missionary, Rov. John
Smith, was arrested and tried by the
mililary authority after martini law
had been proclaimed. Smith was ar
rested us un accomplice in the horrid
butchery. Tho Chief Justice of the
colony was ono of the military court
to try him. llo was found guilty and
sentenced to death, but recommended
to mercy. When tho news of this
trial by court martial reached Eng
'"' Mhpro .English law existed, il
produced sucn a on i n.u ...
meal in all sections of tho country,
tlmt iho mutter was immediately
brought before the House of Commons.
On this occasion, Sir James Mack
intosh said :
"Br the law of England, martial law eantmt be
exercised except where Ibe jurisdiction of the
0 iurls of juslico Is ftitcTrupted by violence. Did
this necessity exist in tninrnia on the 13lh of

Our author continues nt great
length to show that even soldiers can
not bo tried by military law except
for offences purely militaiy, and where
tho civil courts are not in oporution,

Thus stands tho law in tho govern
ment of England. Hut there is, in
English histoly, a still moro si. iking
caso than this was. Il is that of Gov
ernor Hall, who tried a private soldier
by couil martial, while he, Hall, wus
acting Lieut. Governor of India. The
soldier wus found guilty and sentenced
to bo whipped. Tho sciiteitco was ex
ecuted on tho prisoner, unlit ho died.
When Governor Hull relumed homo,
twenty years alter, ripo in years und
with u foituno lo enable him to com
mand position, tho friends of ihat
poor, obscure private, hunted him up,
hud him arrested and put on trial (or
murder. Tho point of law was that,
as courts n.atial had no jmisdition for
trial anil punishment where tho civil
courts wero in cxislenco, tho execu
tion of the sontenco, from which this
soldier died, wai murder. Altor a
long trial, in which overy lhing that
money nnd Influence could do to savo
Governor Hall was done, ,Le was
found guilty nnd hanged. Do our
Holts ond Itinghams ud Provost

only English law, but It Is tho law in
America. What will becomo of the
hundreds of officers In this country,
when the law is enforced ? Citizens,
civilians, Iiavo been tried nnd convict

ended in enslaving the masses, des

read history, wo must not deceive our

is a foolish delusion. Absolnto power

Our own country ut this moment is
un nppulling illustration of tho samo

department of this degrading power
the honor of men it ml the virtuo ot
women huve been treated as markelti

and mistresses upon tho treasury ol

for nothing so much as Its vulgnrity,'
