’Ww Indiana Conspiracy CaseV-Oplnlen of the Bnpreme Coart. ■ It will be recollected that the Supreme Court of the United States at its former term announced its decision in the case ex parte ofUambdin P. Milligan, declaring- the ille gality of his trial for allegedconspiracy be fore a military commission In Indiana, and in effect ordering his discharge from he haying been convicted ana condemned to the punishment of death. Yesterday Associate Justice DaVls read an elaborate opinion in this case, in which re ference waß made-to the importance or ob serving the constitutional guarantees for the protection of the citizen in hiß person and property. The experience of our past his tory showed the wisdom of the framers of the Constitution in constructing it to be alike efficient, inwaras inpeace, as was shown in the civil contest through which we have jnst passed. The powers of the Constitution should not be strained- to meeremerge&cies, for on its maintenance, In-alt-its integrity, depended , our liberties and free' govern ment, not only in the present, but for ail time to come.—The case being before the United States Supreme Court on certificate of division of opinion of the two Jadgesof the UnitediStates Circuit Court for ladiaua, tiie former maintains that- the matter was properly before it. The fact that the bench were divided oonldnot operate to the preju dice ofithe complainant, nor deprive him of his right of appeal to the civil tribunal under the act of March, 1863. Although theprivi lege. of the writ of habeas corpus had been suspended: his right under the Constitution anaia w still remained. ; He was a eitizeifof Indiana, and had never been in the land or naval-service, or in the active militia: It i. true, a conspiracy existed in Indiana, and the complain an ant was accused of participating in it. But.according to theaotof Maroh,lB63 provision was clearly madefbr the trial of anch classes of offenders before a civil court. The Circuit Conrt of Indiana was open and unobstructed, and business there continued to be transacted. The Court, under the law, could have pun ished such crimes, 1 and there was no fear of an interruption of process.. There were troops in Indiana, but that State was not the scene of-war. These troops were to be em ployed in the event of invasion, or sent to operate where military necessity might re quire. No matter how guilty MHligan was, there existed no authority to try him before a military commission under the Constitu tion,; he not being in the military hr naval service, nor did Congress attempt by its legislation to confer snob power. Therefore, the Court should order his release from mili tary custody, and remand him to the civil tribunal. : To this all the members of the Court gave an affirmative answer, and also to the second question presented, namely: Ought the Court to issue a writ of habeas corpus and order his release? And they sav “No” to the third question. Had the Military Commission the legal right to try him? The opinion reviews the subject of martial law, and condemns its exercise in cases where the civil courts are open and process is nnobstructed. Chief Justice Chase, for himself and asso ciates Wayne, Swayneand Miller, read a dissenting opinion relative to the third point, namely—military tribunals taking, the ground that they may be ordered by Con gressional authority in cases where the civil courts are obstructed, in districts where military operations are in progress. Fortunately, .n Indiana' the jtfdges were loyal, together with the great mass of the people, but it might happen that a disloyal judiciary might impede the course ofjustice. Hence there should be the means of afford ing protection by the military power. The guilt of the defendants had nothing to do with the present decision, which-has re ference to the legality of the military com aatsston which tried the cases of Milligan. Theuissehting judges agreed with the .majority of the Court that Congress did not confer in this case the power to try the ac cused by such a cbmmission, but bad made provision for the determination of the ques tion before the civil courts. It will be recollected that the cases of Bowles and Horsey were analagous to that ~fji Milligan, and the parties were released from prison ConseiiUf bt on the deeision of the Supreme Conrt. The counsel indite cases were, for peti tioners, Je- a g e McDonald, General Garfield .Dudley D. Field, and for the other side Attorney General Speed, Mr. Stanberry, and Gen. Butler. No notes were permitted to be taken by reporters, in court, but the above, it is believed, give the general points of the decision. The conrt room was crowded with members of the bar, includ ing a number from various States, and members of both houses of Congress. ■ It' is-Understood that the opinions de livered to-day are to be printed in pamphlet form for public information. .

Ames, Jno, Ashley andßoberta'Browne, A Commission Was commenced at Balti more, December, 1863; and continued in ses sion until October, 1865, at which date it was dissolved. One was also commenced at Georgetown. Delaware, about August, 1861, and was dis nolyed March, 1865, It was composed as follows: M. Gunn, Albert Curry and Thomas Ainsey. The commission' investi gated and reported upon ‘ nearly four' thou sand claims. 1 ; The Commissioners for Missouri, O&tbber say the negroes enlisted in the army in that State were enlisted as general recruits, when sent by the various Distriot Provost Marshals or the authorized recruiting offi- Mr, to the general rendezvous at Benton m/sTi? 8 ' Th ! y J , ®re subject to a second but no notice was of the assignment. Not only this, at t l ® aat - which havecome tfa e recruits were sent out of the State before- assigned to any regi ment. Many cases have been brought to their notice m which loyal owners, llvine on the western border of Missouri, themselves took their slaves into Kansas and enlisted them in the' United States service. This often occurred before .any authority to re ceive colored recruits in Missouri was given. A largehumber of slaves were also enrolled under the same circnmstancfes.

DECEMBER Ifi. TRTPT/k SHEET The following; communication from the Secretary of the Treasury whslaid before the Senateyesterdhy: ; ; r/;:. v;3v Tbeasuby Department, Office. CWni^. TBOLLEB OFTHBCURRENCY, WasAINSTON, December ,14, v 1866.—<t£r; l have the honor' to acknowledge the. reoeiptfof the following • Senate resolution; \ Vv J ‘- \ Mesolved, That the Secretary of the Trea sury is directed to report to tee Senate the names of the several banking associations which have tailed to comply with the pro , visions of the law requiring a reserve of money on hand, and that he report what legislation, if any, is necessary to enforce against suoh associations the provisions of the law. To the inquiry contained in this rCsolu tionlreply that, by the provisions of section 34 of the Currency act, all national banking ; associ a tions are reqn i red t o make a report, i exhibiting .in , detail j" under appropriate i heads, the Resources abd -liabilities of the j association; on the first Monday of January, April, July and October of each years :In I addition to such quarterly, reports each as ; sociation is' required to make a monthly statement, exhibiting the following items, ■ 1® wit: Average amount of - loans and dis counts, specie and other lawful money, de ; posits and circulation.,. And- associations in ; other places than, those cities nanied in the i 31St section of the' act, shall also return the amount due them available for the redemp tion'of, their circulation. , The monthly statements thus required ar ® ®f practical value in determining whether the banks have compiled , with the law relative to maintaining the reserve of , lawful money,' because £they exhibit: aver ages and do not' show .the actual state of things.at any given date. The quarterly statements alone set forth the fact fully ®pon this point, so as to enable the Conp troller to' decide whether the banks have cbmplied with the requirements in ques tion. Yon will observe, therefore, that the he cesSary details are furnished but, four times during the year. The latest official iafor ; mation now at hand is derived from the quarterly reports received October first. At that date some fifty-five banks were more or less deficient in their reserve of lawful money. They were immediately notified, in accordance, with the second clause of sec tion 31st, not to increase their liabilities by making any new loans and discounts other wise than by discounting or purchasing bills of exchange . payable at sight, nor make any dividend of their profits, until the required proportion between their cir culation and deposits and their reserve of money should be restored. Special state ments were called for, to be made under oath once each .week for four consecutive week, for the purpose of demonstrating their compliance with the law. The returns in every ease were prompt and satisfactory. lam of opinion, however,that the detailed statements now made quarterly ought to be made mere frequently, and I have recommended in my report that tbe law should be so amended as to require monthly returns, exhibiting the conditions or the banks in detail. By this the conditon of each bank would be brought to the know ledge of the Conptroller once every month, and he would be enabled to exercise a much more thorough and vigilant supervision than it is possible for him to do under the law as it now stands. i e , recen re P°ried deficiencies in the lawful, money reserve of the New York city banks has come to my knowledge onlv through the press. --- 1 Several of the banks are reported to have voluntarily made statements, showing that their failures to comply with the law were temporary and have since been remedied. It -is possible, as clearing houses arerecog nized m section 31, that the managers of institutions in Boston, New York and Philadelphia might be required to report w *®kly to the Conptroller of the Currency all bonds that exhibited adeficiency in their reserve of lawful money, and that the effect of such a requirement would be salutary. I have only to say, in conclusion, that the date of my Information relative to the sub ject matter of the resolution is so'long past, that a list of the banks then deficient in their reserve would be of but little present importance, particularly as the deficiencies Were of short duration, and were promptly rectified. If it should be desired, however, the list of fepnks will be furnished. Very respectfully, yours, ■ , . H. K. Hulbubd, ' Deputy and Acting Controller of the Cur rency. Hon.

Peterhoff, 17th August, 1866.—1 have received from the hands of Mr. G. V. Fox the resolution of the Congress of the Halted States of America on the occasion of the Providential grace of which I have beeu the object. That mark of sympathy has moved me sensibly. ' It is not atone personal. It attests once more the sentiments that bind the American nation to that ofßasria. The two peoples have irci injuries to remember, but only gbbd relations. Under all circum stances proofs of; mutual benevolence are added; These cardinal relations are as con ducive to their rebiprocal interests as to the good of civilization and humanity, and an swer the designs of Divine Providence, whose ■ will ’is peace and “ con cord . among ail nations. It gives me a lively pleasure to see these ties constantly streagthened more and more. I hove imparted my sentiments to Mr. Fox. I pray you to be my interpreter to Congress and the American people whom It repre sents. Tell them'how much I appreciate, and with me the whole of Russia, the testi monies of friendship they have given me, and how happy I will be to see the American nation grow in strength and prosperity by the union and constant practice of the civil virtues that distinguish it. Accept at the same time theasseverances of the nighcon sideration with which I am your good friend, Alexander, From Mexico. -New York, Dec. 17.—Vera Cruz de spatches, of December 2d, say that affairs in Mexico had improved wonderfully since Maximilian's resolve to remain, £ S rea t anti-American demonstration had taken place at Vera Cruz. The people were given to understand that Sherman and Campbell were to complete their transfer to the United States. The appearance of the Susquehanna with these gentlemen on board appeared to cap the movement in favor of Maximilian, who, having received a promise of money, tele graphed his resolution to remain.
