’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.
. Compensation for Slave Volunteers;
A communication was. laid before the Se
nate yesterday in reply to the resolution
calling for information in relation to the
commissioners appointed to award compen-c
sation to the loyal owners of slaves placed
in the Union army, for which it appears that
the War Department appointed—
Dor Missouri—Jameß A, Mills, John C.
Billinger and Boswell Marsh,
For Kentucky—N. 8. Moore, George W.
Blakely and Archibald McAllister.
For Tennessee—O. E. .Davis, Henry'
Thompson and Bussell Houston.
Maryland—William Flinn, William
H. Stewart andjohn M. Miller,
For West Virginia—Wilson P. 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.

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.

' T . : ' • [Translation.] ■ '
HIS MAJESTY, THE EMPEROR OP RUSSIA TO
the ' PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
OF AMERICA.
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.
