H bees Corpus Act.
As Chief Justice Taney knows very well,
what is now galled the Habeas Corpus Act did
not become the law of England until the 26th
of May, 1679. when Charles IL reluctanty
gave it his formal Assent. No new right wall
thereby given to subject or citizen, tor the
principle was recognized by the Roman law,
and Magna Charts had also conceded it to
Englishmen, but, as Macaulay gays, ft it was
inefficacious for want of a stringent system of
procedure. What was needed was not a new
right, but a prompt and searching remedy;
and such a remedy the Habeas Corpus Act
aupplied."
Seldom did a Sovereign more reluctantly
. give consent to a public measure. Nor would
Ch rtes Stuart have given his, but under the
pressure of circumstances. He WAS about ap
pealing from Parliament to the People, on the
subject of the succession to the crown, and
dared not, at such a moment, reject a bill 80
justly popular. Charles, at that time, yie'ding
to the anti-Catholic feeling of his subjects, and
induced also by some affection for his offspring,
was anxious to exclude his brother, the Dake
of York, from the Crown. The King's son, by
Lucy Walters, historically known as the Duke
of Monmouth, was the person intended to
supplant the King's brother, on the pretence
that, a legal marriage had taken place between
the parents. In spite of this, the Duke or
York did succeed to the Crown, as James 11.,
and one of his earliest objects was to repeal
the Habeas . Corpus Act, the most stringent
curb that ever legislation Imposed upon ty
ranny. He was itnable to effect this, nor was
the operation of that statute suspended for
even a single day during his reign. But, in
109, after the flight of James, and before
William of Orange had been a month seated
on the throne—in the very week that the first
Mutiny Bill was passed, putting down all ap
proach to a Standing Army—the British Par
liament suspended the Habeas Corpus Act for
some weeks. it was again suspended during
this reign, in 106, on the discovery of a plat
to assassinate William. On several subse
cinent occasions this act has also been sus
pended. Jarisconstilts have generally agreed
that extraordinary means have been generally
justified by extraordinary emergencies.
Chief Justice '1 aneey says (ea- pane John
51.rriman) that er no power in England, short
of that of Parliament, can suspend or autho•
rite the suspension of the writ of habeas car
pus." He adds : , te And if the President of
the United states may suspend the writ, then
the Constitution of the United States has eon
ferred upon him more regal and absolute
power over the liberty of the citizen than
the people of England have thought it safe to
entrust to the Crown—a power which the
Queen of England cannot exercise at this day,
and which could not have been lawfully exer
cised by the sovereign even in the reign of
Charles the First."
The Habeas Corpus Act was suspended, as
we'have seen, in Ha and in 1896 again, July
20, 1715, during the Rebellion in Scotland,
which suspension was removed in the follow
ing year; in October 1722, for twelve mouths,
in belief that another invasion was purposed
by the Pretender; in October 1745, for six
months, on the second Scottish Rebellion ; in
December 1777, (partially) ; in Ray 1794,
when great sympathy was supposed to exist
between the Liberals of England and the Jam.:
bins of France; in December 1705 ; in April
14, 1801 when seditious meetings alarmed the
Government; in Marcia 1814, when it was be
lieved that an insurrection was about break
ing out in London, and in Ireland, in 1848. It
happens that, on each of these occasions, Par
liament was in session, and therefore the sus
pension of the Act was attended with no COL•
elitutienal, nor even a technical difficulty.
But it is not the law of England, nor can
scarcely be the lair of the United States, that,
as Chief Justice Taney declares, the Habeas
Corpus Act can be suspended only by i egis.
Wive enactment—by the Parliament in one
country, by Congress in the other. We know
very well what Madden, who wrote a cen.
buy ago, has said on this point, and we quote
it here, becau.se it is the ponndwork of what
_liar:Mull and Story have said upon the point
—Marshall, by the way, going no further than
to say that the Constitution had declared et that
the privilege of the writ of habeas carpus
should nut be suspended, nnleas when, in cages
of rebellion or invasion, the public safety
might require it" Redoes not say whether, on
such particular occasions, the suspension was
to be cry Congress, or by the Executive. Sir
William Blackstone, (I. 126,) speaking of the
arrebt of a person and coefining him in prison s
says
4.cd yet, sometimes, when the State is in real
danger, even this may be a necessary measure
But the happiness ot our Constitution is that it is
not left to the executive power to determine when
the danger of the estate is Si) great as to render
this measure espeaient ; for it is the Parliament
only, or isgislative power, that, whenever it see.
'roper can anihoine the Crown, by ativending
tim kaiser,* corpus uot fora Short and limited time
to imprison suspeeoid persons without giving any
reason fur so doing; as the Senate of Rome was
wont to have recourse to a dictator, a magistrate
of absolute authority, when they jidged the its
pnolso in any imminent danger. The decree of
toe Sanate, which usually preeeded the nomination
of this magistrate, • dent operant eon.tui a tie quid

This is positive enough, and we are not our.
prised at Grimy - Joe r
tice tame e falling back
u r ea Blacastene. But lams suppose a case,.
and seeethether • eiretumseaneee,anay not ac
tually compel the habeas carpus act to be Ms.
pented by other than legislative authority.
The British Parliament usually is prorogued
is August, nominally to a fixed 'day, some
six weeks off. When that day arrives, Parlia
ment is again prorogued for another term of
several weeks, until, at last, it is finally pro
rogued to a named day, if for the despatch Of
business," at which time the Session actually
commences. Suppose that, Parliament having
been prorogued on the first day of August,
until the fourteenth day of September, intelli
gence reaches the Executive of a fearful rebel
lion having suddenly broken out in Lanca
shire. What must the Executive do, in such
a terrific emergency ? Or, suppose that there
is a French invasion, equally fearful, threaten
ing, and unexpected, which sundry British
snidects are believed to have counselled and
aided ? In either case, a military force would
be necessary to pat down the rebellion and
drive beck the invasion. It would become
actually necessary, perhaps, for the apprehen
sion of certain parties in complicity with the
rebels or the invAilere, as the case might be,
to suspend the Habeas Corpus Act, se - as to
allow of their detention. It would be impos
sible to wait, for six weeks, until Parliament
could reassemble and give the necessary legis
lative authorization. Surely, the Crown may
issue a Proclamation (though some conetitit
tional writers deny the light, which is also con_
trary to modern usage) summoning Parlaament
to reassembl e before the appointed day. Yet
even this might be too leto-.40r even a week's
delay might be MiIIOUS, with instant danger on
the wing. In such case, the Executive, act.
mg with promptitude and courage, would give
orders for the arrest and detection of the par
ties in question, thus virtually suspending the
H a b eas corpus idet; and who can doubt that,
w h en Parliament met, it would willingly plum
an Act of Indemnity to the Queen's advisers
on that emergency ?
We take it that, in like circumstances, in
this country, if a suspected traitor were de
tained in duresse, while rebellion was stirring
in the land, the officer, be he military or civil,
who so held him, even though Congress had
not reassembled, would be held guiltless, even
if twenty-nine Chief Justices proclaimed, as
ex parte John Merriman, that he had violated
the provisions of the Habeas Corpus Act. In
a note upon Blackstone's account of the 'Ha
beas Corpus Act, Judge Sharswood express
ly states,• with Marshall, <q . t. is provided
by the Constitution of the 'United States that
the privilege of the writ of Habeas Corpus
sh%ll not be suspended unless when, in cases
of rebellion or invasion, the public safely may
regnire ft." This, which is also the common
sense of the case, would seem to settle the
question very decidedly.
fl harsorood's Comutenteries on the Laws of England
(LiePlfleett CO.. pnlhilhers.) Vol. 1, p. Eio,
Slavery and the War.
Nominally, the Southern rebellion com
menced, and its authors aimed at the de
struction of this great Confederacy, for no
better nor holier purpose than the extension,
perpetuation, and protection of the institu
tion of African slavery. In no other part.of
the world had slaveholding ever prospered so
well, and yielded with so small an outlay of
capital, labor, or skill, on the part of slave
owners such magnificent rewards as in the
slave States of this Confederacy. The Ame
rican Union had been, up to the time when
this contest commenced, the very paradise of
the gc masters" of the negroes, and nowhere
else, at any period of the world's history, had
their Gg rights " and interests, as they them
selves understand and assert them, been more
scrupulously protected and more resolutely
enforced. Having every guara ',tee that any
slaveholding community ever possessed, they
have made the slaveholding interest a pretext
for an effort to grasp at some imaginary good
or immunity beyond all this ; and now what
are they apparently about to obtain as the re
sult of this struggle 1 They have Rimed a
war upon the loyal citizens of our country
sorely against the will of the latter, but one
which, since it bus been commenced, we are
prepared to prosecute With a degree of en.
ergy and determination unexampled in our
vast history; and as one of its inevitable re.
suite, however humanely and carefully we
may conduct it, greater damage must ensue
to the institution of slavery, even in the etrug
gles of a single year, than the agitation of
-&bolitionists could have accomplished in
many centuries. !Taking advantage at the
disorders of the times, the slaves along the
northern ftontiers of the slave States are
atmeonding in great numbers. Thus, the out
posts of tae institution are rapidly losing their
slave population, and as our army advances
into the disloyal portions of Virginia slaves
flock by hundreds into our camps, and, under
the recent decision of General BUTLER, they
are, for the time being, held as ec property "
contraband of . war, and their owners ad
monished that, if they are unwilling to take
an oath of allegiance to obey the Constitution
and laws of the United States, they must not
expect to be benefited by the fugitive-slave
law.
Hundreds, meanwhile, are no doubt sent off
for safe.keeping to the Cotton States, where
the slave population, e'en now, in many dis.
tricts far exceeds that of the whites, and
wherever they go they will carry with them
intelligence of the advance of our troops and
prove dangerous inciters to insurrectionary
movements, which have alreadi * become
alarmingly frequent. While on the Northern
frontiers they run away, where this mode of
escape is less available there is a growing
tendency to revolt. Presently, it is by no
means improbable that, through the scarcity el
money and the strictness of the blockade,
there will, in many quarters, be a scar •fty of
food and an absence of many of the comforts
which the people of the South have heretofore
eapyed, and at which the slaves have obtained
a fair share. Any unusual privations which
may be imposed upon them will necessarily
add to their discontent and their desire to nd
themselves of the yoke which they have so
long borne. If the martial portion of the
white population is hurried into_the service of
the traitor army, it will beacasce2 lei
to prevent insubordination among the negroes;
and' the vague hopes of frftdom 'Which have
been inspired hi iheir hearts, added to the ap
parent opportunities for obtaining it which are
now afforded, and the discomforts to which
they will be subjected, must inevitably lead to
numerous ontbreake, that will at least keep
the whites in a constant state of terror and
alarm.
Meanwhile, the great fundamental basis which
has given such , apparent prosperity to Ameri
can slavery—the monopoly of a great portion
et the supply of cotton required in England and
by the manufacturers of the Northern States--
will be more seriously injured and undermined
by the Secession movement than by any other
event which could possibly have happened. It
will put forward at least tan, if not twenty
years, the development of all the other cotton
regions which have recently obtained consi
derable attention, and in which the growth of
this valuable article has rapidly increased.
The railroads in India, when finished, will
enable that country to furnish a very
large proportion of the Cotton needed for
England. They have long languished for
want of sufficient capital to complete them.
It will now be speedily forthcoming; and for
every dollar spent in Great Britain for Genie
derate bonds, there will be tens of thousands
expended to assist the construction of avenues
from the seaboard to the heart of Southern
Asia, and in so stimulating the cotton pro
duct of other countries that British manufac
turers may hereafter be enabled to dispense
entirely with the product§ of the haughty and
rebellious Gulf States.
The leaders of that region imagined that any
interruption of the supplies of their famous
staple would necessarily involve the irre
trievable ruin of the leading manufacturing
and commercial interests of England and
America. Bat the Indications are that they
will themselves be the greatest sufferers; and
while no little inconvenience maybe caused,
for the present ; by the difficulty of obtaining
American cotton, it is probable that our cot
ton growing interests will forever be seriously
crippled, if not in a great measure destroyed.
The fate of King Cotton may be like that of
the dog who died, when the man he bit
speedily recovered.
Thus, on every hand, the institution of
slavery, in a war nominally waged for its be
nefit, is seriously damaged. Even if the phan
tasy of Southern independence could be
reur - tue - c - ouns — woura - no - ae me wawa - iu
adverse and hotelle - natienalities that none
of the dreams of conquest and expansion
which its champions have revelled in Mild
be yea:fined. But this is utterly , out of the
-question; and as the forces of our army, close
around the rebellions States, those only who
fly to the A.merleau standard for protection,
and rely, as in days of yore, upon the authori
ties of the nation, and its Constitution and
laws for guarantees for their personal and pe
cuniary salvation, will be enabled to escape
the injurious and fatal consequences of the
rash and traitorous deeds of the Secession
leaders.

d's-Eye Vie f the Seat o ar.
We have procured, at considerable expense,
and publish an our first page, an interesting
birtPs•eye view of the seat of war, which will
assistour readers very materially in !Cretin a
proper idea of the relative position of the
importaut points embraced in all the great
military operations now in progress on the
Atlantic slope. After the outbreak at Balti
more the first great object was to open a
channel of communication between Washing
ton and the loyal North, which was first
ellected by landing at Annapolis troops who
were despatched there in steamboats from
Perryville, and by sea via tho Chesapeake
Bay from New York. Then, the railroad track
from ArmaFode to the Junction had to bogy
paired and strictly guarded. Presently our
troops poured in in great numbers to the
Federal capital, the Relay House was taken
possession of, Baltimore was overawed, the
bridges on the Philadelphia and Wilmington,
awl the Baltimore and Susquehanna roads were
rebuilt, and all open hostility to our soldiers
along the various direct routes from Wash
ington to Pennsylvania was checked. Having
rendered the capital impregnable, the basis was
at once laid for extensive offensive operations
against the traitors. General Britten was
despatChed to Fortress Monroe and vicinity,
and he is now actively engaged in directing
operations in that quarter. Alexandria was
seised, and Arlington fleignts occupied and
strongly fortified. Recently a erdash" has
been made upon Fairfax Court House ; and at
/101280008 Junction, which lies but a short
distance beyond, a large force of the traitors
is stationed, who will probably soon be at
tacked. Another place of great interest is
Etarpr•r's Ferry, against which an advance is
anticipated from Pennsylvania, as well as
from the West, with the command under Gen.
ideCtermaar.
The map shows, in the distance, Richmond,
and the various approaches to it by sea and
land, as well as Wilmington, N. C., Charles
ton, Savannah, Key West, Fort Pickens, and
all the important towns l in the vicinity of Fort
ress Monroe. If no unexpected reverse
occurs, Virginia will henceforth be the great
battle-ground of the present campaign and
Many of the towns on the map , will be endowed
with unusual interest. We therefore append
the following description of some of them :
The city of Norfolk is on the right bank of

ance at the present Vine from the fact that the
Southern rebel founts aro establishing a camp

Colonel Kelley.
The joy carried by the intelligence of the
victory achieved by our brave troops at
Philippi (or. Philippa) will be considerably
increased by the announcement that the report
of the death of the gallant Colonel KELLEY
was untrue. He was badly, but it is believed
not dangerously, wounded, and there are very
fair prospects of his recovery. A yirgmian
by ,birth, he was well known and highly es
teemed by many friends in this city, who
came acquainted with him daring his resi
dence here as agent of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad, and our whole community will be
rejoiced to learn that a long and brilliant ca
reer may yet await him.

Off a battery opened upon the Pa 1101366 with two

and a heavy gun, supposed to be a
69 pounder. The two steamers stood as near as
the shoal water would permit, and opened upon
the battery, the Pawnee with her Dahlgren gone,
and the Freeborn with two heavy 32-pounders
The distance at first was 2,000 yards, but Captain
Rowan, finding that his shells could do little hum
at that clistanoo, pushed the Pawnee In till she
touched in , he mud at 1 700 yards, and showered
the ebella upon the battery As soon as the fight
commenced, the enemy set fire to the railroad

every shot was a good line shot, hut they gene

up aloft.
The fight continued, with intermisolons. until
near 5 o'uloot P Al , when the falling tide com

The practice was excellent. The men are well

Yesterday, at noon, the 01130 of throe BAtimo

der oommand of General Kelm, ems up before
Judge Cad waleder, in the United Slates District
Court.
George 11. Williams, Esq., of Baltimore, the
prinoipal ocuneel for the alleged bridge burners,
was not precept, the reason alleged for his absence
being the fear of personal vioieneo tram a mob.
The beet possible refutation to this reflection upon
the fair fame of Philadelphia was given by the
scene in and about the court room.
Although it was not known that Mr. Williams
wee not present, the attendance at the court room
was slender, and the persons present were gene
rally manibets of the bar and other highly raffles.
table and well known citizens. There was not the
slightest indication of angry feeling among the
gentlemen present in the court room, or of disor
derly intention; while no persons whatever were
glitnered in the streets in the vicinity, At the
headquarters of Colonel Small's regiment the men
who were a bugbear to Mr. Williams were amusing
themselves in their usual ways, apparently entirely
oblivious of the existence of Mr. W., end perfectly
indifferent as to his whereabouts.
Al we have already Mated, 12 o'clock had been
fixed for the return of the writ, hut Deputy Mar
shal Sharkey, to whom the duty of serving it bad
been entrusted, had not arrived in this city. Mr.
Wharton introduced the subject to the attention of
the 001Irt, and said be had received, just before
coming to court, a /otter from Mr Williams, hie
colleague, containing the information that, by or
dere from the War Department, the petitioners
had been discharged, and that they were at home,
in Maryland. Judge Oadwalader, in reply, said
that, Wesel Mr Wharton called the case up
for somepurpose, he had nothing before the court,
and the judge then added : "Bat I do not see Mr
Williams here. Is there any reason why he is
absent ? n
Mr Wharton stated that it was his painful duty
to say th at there was a reason why Mr. Williams
was detained at Baltimore. Mr Williams was in
thii city on Saturday, attending to this ease. On
Sunday afternoon he Came to Mr -Wharton's house
and presented him a , paper which had been placed
in his (Mr Wharton s) posseasion by the propels
tor of the hotel where he was stopping That pa
per contained an editorial call upon the members
of Oitl. Frnoll'a regiment to attend here on tbi'
day at 12 &Meek, with ropes. -foti the purpose cf
hanging Mr. Williams, from Beltimoee, who was
stated to have been one of a mob who had as
saulted that regiment while attemping a passage
through Baltimore. Mr. Williams was not dis
posed to take any notice of this newspaper article,
but he had-received information- from an anony.
mous source which he could not disregard. That
information was confirmed, he having been tracked
during the day, and be beeeme satisfied that an
attempt would be made on his life, and, after con
sultation with Mr. Wharton, he expressed his in
tention to leave the city and allow the case to rest
with Mr. Wharton, and he started for home on
Sunday evening On Sunday he drew up a card
while- in the office of Mr. Wharton, for publics.
tion. Mr. Williams did not know of the mob In
Baltimore, and his only egenoy was to give assist
anus to two of the Massachusetts soldiers who
were wounded. Ile was not aware of the fact that
Col. Smell's regiment bad visited Baltimore until
informed of it by Mr. Wharton.
_
District Attorney Coffey said he was sorry Mr.
Williams was not present. He had mistaken the
feelings and habits of the people of Philadelphia,
who obey the laws of the land.
Intlge ()sawsMar now stated that be had no
doubt that if the aubjeet had been mentioned to
him, Mr. Williams would harts been safe, because
an order would have been made to the marshal to
see that his officers protected bin in the discharge
of his duty to hie silent. The views of the District .
Attorney that Mr. Williams would have received
no injury or Inconvenience in Philadelphia were
probably correct, but a gentleman of another dia.
mid coming to this court as counsel was entitled to
protection as an officer of the court.
If the facts had been brought to the attention of
the court, the judge would have made an order
which would have enabled the marshal to summon
the military and civil aid. ~
This ended the case, and, the small etwerublsge
present dispersed after quietly laughing with one
another M the ridiculous position in which they
had been placed as citizens
