Deprived of his liberty in ,Niiolation of the Constitution of the United States, the petitioner flaked to ba diseharged under a writ of habeart .°l ll 2l4 le i ii‘dtisel then argued the question Of t? jurledlcticie, quoting the Judiciary_ get .o f 404;tiiahoW that alit* one of the: Tip llceeof the Suprothe Court, as well as lidgee of the District Courts, shall have • • er to grant - write of habeas corpus. • e only reatraininginirdaof thestatute are those which limit the application ref the writ to cases where persons are in . underor by cOlor of the authort-' e l: Y. 11 ;410 United State*, or committed for , trial under some oourt.• The applicant I being arraigned -bv military power, he fella under:the class .of ' persons In cue: tody under or by color of the authority of the United States. The statute did not limit the exercise of the power to any State or territory. It was conferred on Justices of the Supreme Court. wholle jurisdiction was' co-extenslve with the whole country. It seemed to be perfectly clear, from a proper Construction of the act, that it was not intended to limit the application of the writ to a Judge of the - Supreme Court presiding in a particular Circuit where the, offense was commit ted or, imprisonment took place., He quoted the., came ,of Merryman and Edward A. Stephena,, which happened daring the war, in support of his argu ment, Chief Justice Taney. in - one in atance,and AssociateJustioeWayne in the other, issuing writs of habeae curpua, the Prisoners being contined in Maryland. The case now before the . Chief Justice involved the moat serious considerations, including the personal, rights of citizens. It did more—involved the integrity of the Constitution of our reentry. The Moat principles which underlie the Constitu-' thin were not for the diet time to be found In that , instrument; they were inherited by the people of our country . from - the magna eharta ,whic.h ' declared that no 'no freeman shall be taken, imprisoned. outlawed, ravished, or dispoilut of his property, nor: dullsentence be named on him. urdesa by a fury of hit peers and in twordance with the laws of the , land: On the 24th of April, 18Q2, when Georgia ceded. tp the' Mated Mates the territory which/low conatitutealt part of the State - of bilesissippl, it was enacted that the ordinance or 181? should be and remain in' ' force in Mid, Territory. /es 'provisions were that the in habitants should rawly, be ea tithalcito Quit/ quietus, of i the , Init.ftt , W .. e , etivetatrtintl - right,•rittriel byjerf..

Attoreey. General Hoar hrthe.Texas Weaver murder case, givhlg reason,' for considering the Mili tary Corny:Osten - 4 legal organization, and saying he could have no doubt that the - nation can 'retisha i the territory. -and people within the grasp of war. lulu." re lations of peace can, be rereatabhabed. Were these words; ' asked. Mr. Phillips, "within the grasp of war," original or not?, Could there be ; a stronger expres sion to define most, flagrant war than that term. - It was a constitutignal 'Mid .legal phrase. The A, ttorn ey Getters' explained: that the phrase alluded to 14 his brother was a quotation from a friend who had used it in another argument. • - Mi. — Ph!llipa s N.. resuming, said_ he thought the expressiOn bad been found in some book on the laws of- war. "It was, however, entitled to no considers. tion, because it dici cot express any della ire idea here, nor was • it „wnreoted by any interpretation of cot stitutional law. He then atinted thst tzar no longer ex ists, notwithstanding the theory of the Attorney Getieral. As a question of tact there could bo rittdoubt of this, or dlffeience in honest militia. On the 20th of August, 1866, the President issued his proclamation declaring the in serrection which had existed In Texas at an end, as in eta* r- Stites, and "that peace, order• and tranquility and civil authority:exist in and through out the;whole United States of America.” Prior to this, in December, Ities, the Presideut :Said in his, messes° "tne're hellion has been suppressed. and the people lately in rebellion yield obedl ehoe to the United Staten, with more promptness and willingness thaq could reasmably be anticipated." The Lege ,lature, too, as he showed, declared the war over. The President and Chri sten acted in accord. It was known that Contras* disputed the • right of the President to take mees. ures for the reconstruction of the South ern States, and therefore it was consider. ed neclissary to take'steps to lead these States bssivinto the Union. The tedon• .antoction set was passed on this basis, but be, lidrPnillips, would , say that the civil rights of citizens existed every where, where the Constitutionhas spread its shield, &Sr all' parts of the country. Whether we spask -Of the people of state or territory. it makes no difference, they = are . all under the' peer* , ment ",of the United States. =- Mr Phillips replied at tome length to the [ Japinittne expressed in the Ted murder cane :1 y; - : : the Attorney General aptt• ;in conclusion asked In ttreuente ; of peace, and'in 1 4 ~ n ame Of the constlttltitto, which . had been *le* in the else or Target, ' that this petition •for a writ of !tatieni Correa Might be omtect. , .
