Mount VERNON, ih, Feb, ‘%—There was filed {n tho office of the Clerk of the Supreme Court for the Southorn Grand Diviston to- day aopy of the opinion of the Supreme Court nthe enso of Dunne ys, ‘The People, anappeal from Cook. It will be remembered ayat, soon atter the passage of the Milltla faw by tho Legislature, which provided, amoug other things, that armed bodles of meniiot forining a part of the reguiar militia organization should not parade through the streets of any cily without 4 license of the Governor, 8 man by the name of Blelefeldt and members of his company were arrested §=oand =«fined in a Chicago poliee court. Bielefeldt refused — to pay his fine, anc npolied to Judge Barnum fora writ of habeas corpus. The Judge granted 20 writ in n lengthy opinion, In which he declared that about every section and clause in the MIitia law was unconstitu- tional. ‘This being a habeas corpus case, ft was Impossible to carry the matter to the Supreme Court, Svon afterwards, however, aman bythe namo of Dunne, being sim moned to appear as a petit juror before Judge Barnum, then sitting in the Criminal Court, pleaded his exemption, he belng a member of the National Guard, and, by the terms of tha luw, ‘not amenable to Jury service. Tho Court overrwed the point, and, the juror refusing to serve, he was fined; and from that decision an appeal was taken to the Supreme Court, sitting Inst November at Mount Vernon, where the case wasargued by Mr. Charles A. Gregory on behalf of the juror, and by Mr. Rubens on behalf of the people. The opinion in this most important case was filed to-day, aul Is as follows: ‘ The Court said that the case involved the validity of the statute under which the State militia was organized. Mr, M. J. Dunne, employed by one of the commercial firms of Chicago, raised a plea of exemption from jury servico in the Criminal Court of Cook County on the ground of his being a member of a State regiment of militia. Judgo Barnum, who was sitting inthis Court at the tline, while he oxpressed the absence of disrespect to the gentleman, reftised thy exctise, remarking that the Mill- tia law of the State snid that tho militia should conslst of 8,000 men, and that if one millitiaman was oxcused the remainder could elalm an equal immunity. The saine excuse, In his opinion, could be as well applied to save militiamen from arrest in all cases ex- cept for treason, felony, or breach of tho peace, IIe regarded the law fixing the num- ber of tho militia as directly conflicting with tho Constitution of the United States regu- Jating the sano matter,- which ho held to be tho only Inw'in’ foree. Under tho latter law the inilitia were called out in the War of the Rebellion, snd he consid- ‘ered it the only one under which they contd again be called for active service, The Court held that there could not be two Inws regulat- Ing the sane subject, and tat the Stato Inw was suspended and inoperative. Judge Bar- num, therefore, when Mr, Dunne falled to appear ns a juror, fined him $30 forcontempt, from which an appeal was taken, “ All preliminury considerations ns to the manner in whieh the ense comes before the Court on the Invalidity of the act under the Constitution of the State will be walyed, with | a view to PROCEED DIRECTLY TO THE QUNSTION whether an uct orstich parts of I as pro- yide for the organization of the active militia of tho State known as tho Illinois Nationat Guard Is vold on account of its repugnancy to the Constitution of tho United States and to tho laws passed In pursuance thereof.” ‘Tho net is deetnred to be in perfect harmony with the Constitution of the State, and that, Sf It 13 void, It must bo for the reasons above assigned. ‘The Court says: “The importance of the~questions Involved has induced the most careful canslderatton,, but {t will be our purpose to avoid all unnecessary discussion, and state our views ag briefly as practicable. The first provision submitted against the validity of the act known as tho Military Code 13, that, the power of organizing, arming, and disciplining the militia belng contined by the Constitution of the United States to Con- ress, when Congress has acted upon the subject and passed a Inw to carry Into effect the constitutionnt provision, such nection ex- chides the power of legislation, by the State upon the same sublect. ‘This i4 not, in our judgment, an necurate, cortalnly nota full, oxpression of the law, ‘Two thiigs must be assumed to sustain this pro Ion?

Thore is no- repugnancy between the act of Cane gress and the Stite Inw In this respeet, but THERE 18 ANOTHER VIEW THAT MAY 1K" TAKE; The act of Congrees provides that the militia when called ta the actual servico of the nited States shall be subject to the samo rules and articles of wear as the regular troops of the, United States, ‘The active inllitin’of the State ts simply n reserva force that the Executive fs authorized by the Con- alitution to call to his nid in case of a sudden emergency to execute the jaws, suppress ine surrection, and repel Iuvaslon, and it ts most probablo ib was the design of the General As- sembly to make the National Guard’s orgaul- zation, cawtament, and diselpline the same ag the mflitla when fn the aetual servies of the United Stutes as being the most effective, In elther vow, no such repugnance is perceived butween the State and Federal legisintion In this respect as would render tho formor tn- valid.” : AN ODIECTION DROADEN IN 178 SCONE than either of those noted is referred to anc discussed by the Court—namely: that the act- ive militia organized under the statutecomes within the prohibition of the see clause of See. 10, Art. 1. of tho Constitul of the United States, whitch withholds from the States the power to keen troops In_ thng of ponee, “Our understanding Is, the organtzn- Jon of the netlve militia of tho Stato con- forms ensily to the definitions usually given of militia, The men comprising the organi- zation in this State eome from tlie great body of the militia, and when not engaged at stated: perlods in drilling and other exercises, they return to telr“usunl nvoci- tions.

Spectat Diepatch to Tas Chtcago Tribune. Wasittnaton, D. 0,, Feb. %.—Tho-stato- ment which follows doubtless, fairly repre- sents tho attitude of the Administration with respect tu the Interoceanic canal question that now so greatly agitates the Demosracy here: ‘wo Democratic members of tho House Interoceanio Canal Committeo are sald to have visited the State Department in neondition gf consklernblo excttement a few days ago ascertain why the Administra- {lon was allowing the Monroe doctrine to be torn to pleces without making some protest. How Secretary Evarts defended himself ts not publicly known, but he may have told lls visitors that whenovor any delinit act which Is In contravention of the Monroe doctrine Is performed: by any European na- tion tho Adininistration will thon conaldor what {ts duty Jn the premises 1s; if Congress hay not Itaelf - already taken the responsibility of dealing with the question. Up to this time, as far as the pub- Ne knows, NOTHING HAS HAPPENED bub the beginning of some surveys on the Isthmus ‘of Panama under the direction of M, De Leaseps. Tho canal itself has not been dug or even begun, Thore ts no evi- dence that {thas any financial backing. Its projector utterly failed when he attempted toraisa subserlptions ln New York several months ago, Any ono of the great European Governments might furnish the necessary funds, but thore has been no hint In any quarter that Js entitled to- credence that France, or Great Britaln, or “Germany, has thought of such a thing, ‘Thus far, then, the Panama Cana) ts : 5 . BIMPLY AN IDEA, ‘ in the brain of ono man, 8 mon of wonderful. achievement, it {s truy, but still of one man, hle, which Aierican engineers deny, and if then he fs able to ralse thé money nec- essary to pay forthe work, which experienced. finanelers doubt, then in the course of twelve years or more a ecanat may be dug and some practienl question moy be ralsed, Meanwhile France has assured our Government In language that cannot be inisunderstood, that. sha lias noth. ing whatever to do with M, De Lesseps’ scheme, and that her Government [3 no more responsible for anything he may do than if he Syed in New York, and It has not been hinted that any other country is backing the enterprise, Under the eireumstances all the talk that Is indulged in. by some newspapers and Democratle politleians about the duty of this country in acrisis [ke this; the taking account of our land and naval forces as {hough we were on tha verge of.n foreign war; the critielsms of the Administration as though it was allowing the Monroe doctrine to be trampled inder foot by Europe, seems like ehid's play. The Amerlesn polley in re- gurd to Interaeeainic canals Is one that is PERFECTLY UNDERSTOOD. Gen, Grant during his Administration + prac- tieally committed the United States to the Niearagua route, and popular oplufon tn this cottntry, as faras [t hus found expression, ling approved of that policy. The present Atininistration has done nothing to change that policy, Tt has not favored any other pian of eonnecting the two orenns, t has not looked on with Indlffer- enee while any other nation — has Ined a foothold In Central Atmerlea by picking nv canal scheme, for no other uation has yet taken stich nstep. Nor is theruany question on which ft is erly that the two great politleal partics will divide, [f forelen nations disregard the Monroce dortrine, Re- publicans and Democrats alike will probably DEMAND A VIQOROUS PROTEST, if nothing more, from our Government, Untll that thine the Admitistration will not be Injured in the esthination of the people by Democratic complaints that it ois not doing anything, unless is also shown that there Js something that ought (o be done. If. there should arise any cause forewar, upon the Democratic Congress will devolve the responslbility, and not upon the P mnt. Nor is lt fair for the Democrats to ri that the Aduinistra- flon has remained passive thus far. No reso- lution ealling on the President for informa- tion on the subject has heen passed by” elther House of Congress. When such a resolution is adopted the Secretary will probe ably report fully what correspondence ho lias had, and then it will be. time enough to deelde that he has heen remiss in his duty, THE LATEST EVENT whieh hag any bearing on _ this ques- tion (is the arrival” in) Washington of the oman who, of all others, ling given most. evidence of alarin_ In regard tothe situation, for the apparent purpose of working the Democratic members of the Senate and Jonse Cummittees up to an equal degree of fright with hhmself, and the next thing that will happen will be the arrival of AG De Lesseps In New York in about a week, THE MOUSE COMMITTEE, The Select Conimittes of the House on the Tuteroceante Ship Canal considered to«lay the subject of our treaty retations as_allect- ing the Projert ofa shipcanal, The United Sintes Misister to the United States of plained the Wyse contract.” upon which De Lesseps’ project 1s based, and Adiniral Aumen rehearsed’ the features of the Nicuraguan routes, EX-CONGI LAN RAINEY, + Bostox, Mnss., Feb. 7.—Ex-Congressman Ralnoy, of South Carolina, was one of the guests of the Massachusetts Club toxlay, and made a significant speech on Southern sentl- ment on the Presidential question, It was thought he would free his mind, and report- ers were excluded, but the Sunday Courier will print his speech, IIe claimed that the Republicans of the South are carnest and true, and if inthe past they haye from want of experience appeared not true and not frm to their convictlons, they have now made up their minds that, whatever the Republicans of the North shall do at Chicago, the man they noninate will _be the‘eandidate of the Southern States. Quite a number of the Re- publlcans of the South aro In favor of Gen, Hrant as a enndidate for the Presidency, Tho spenker sald he had written to some of the. most prominent politiclans to ask the reason why they should ba in favor of Gen, Granta man who, when he went Into power, found a Republican Congress, & Republican South, and the better part of the Northern States Republican. When he went outof power thore was nota single Republican State In the South, Congress was Democratic, and the Northern States divided. Le per- mitted the State of Mississippl to go out of the hands of the Republicans; he crushed outthe hopes of forty thousand people with one fell swoop. Gen. Grant, had he done his duty, would have made it apparent to the neople ‘of the South. that he intended to do his utiiost to keep the Repubdllean party In- tnet in the South. Under his Administration the Democratle party came into power, stand- ing in human blood, taking the place of loyal men, and elaiining to be tho dictators of the country, “Theso inen made up their minds that what they could not gain by fichting they would gain by Jegisiation, It ts nota majority rule in the South. It ts the minority who are In power because they haye the edu- cation, wealth, and intelligence, They have all the machinery of the fiovernment in thelr hands, They lave the Judges on thelr side, and therefore control the Courts, and the Re- [oblleans have by this ineans been defrauded in tha Southern States, They are not, how- ever, discouraged, but aro fitin and deter- mined to support whoever the North shatl decide upon as the fittest candidate for the Presidency, “But.” sald the speaker, “you will Gnd that we will not be able to give ln the Soutlrn single Electoral vote, not even thatot Florida, In the election that fs to be held next fall. You will find that the Democrats will curry every Southern State, You may have amsfority of the votes, but the Democrats will count you ont.” ST, LOUIS’ AMBITION. Spectat Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, Sr. Louis, Mo, Feb, 7—A call lias been published to-day slgned by the editors of all the Demoeratic papers in the city, by the local members of the National Democratic Comnulttes, and other well-known politicians for.n meoting of eltizens {irrespective of party to be held next Thursday night for the pur pose of consiitering means of securing the National Democratic Convention for St. Louis. As a matter of fact, though, many of the Democrats here are lukewarm on the subject, holding that it would be better for the Convention to bo held in Chicago or Cincinnatl, so far as party Interests go. -Thoy seem to prefer Cincinnatl as n rule, professing to linve n hope of carrying Ohlo, John G.

Mr. Cowen's Jingu speech, the Queen's! appearance at the opening of Parllament, and tha Tlverpool elec. tion ara. each hailed as a distinct proof of the Mintstorlal strength, Mr, Cow- en Is, however, no new reerult, For three yenrs past he has been the leading Liberal Jingo of Mr. Walter's company, The Liverpool defeat causes no surprise, The Liberals expected {t, but thoy ealculated on less majority against them, Sir Willams Tlnrecourt says they are content at having yeduced the Tory mua- jority by 1,000, but the Liberals generally ad- init that they were thoroughly beaten, It ts not surprising that Liverpool, which formuwr- Jy sympathized heartily with tho Southern rebellion, should agatn ‘relterate her ad- heslon to the Tory cayse, which she has almost uniformly supported for *torty years. Tue Tory organs, while rightly clahulng 4 great victory, echo Lord Beaconeilelil's as- gertion on ‘Thursday that the true tissue was between tho principle of the union of the Empire on the one side: and home- rulo and dismemberment on the other, Many Liverpool Liberais refused for Lord Ram dering the Trish altiance discreditabie and dangerous, ‘The seopo of Lord Ramsay's Irish pledge is overstated, but the Irish supported hin unanimously. ‘The Irish belng stronger In Liverpool than anywhere else, the defeat Is regarded as far nore damaging to the Par- nell party than to the Liberals.
