Important Opinion Regarding the Discharge of Enlisted Men from the United States Army , om Habeas Corpus. Before Jadge Ingraham. In ve John O’Connor,—I de wot concur in the epinion that an officer of the United States army may treat with contempt the writ of habeas corpus, insured under the authority of the State, and disobey the writ merely ona return by him that he is acting under the laws of the United States. If that is a sufficient answer to the writ he should appear in obedience to the writ, and show that his return is true, Nor do I think that an enlist- ment of a minor under the age of eighteen is valid by law of the any dhs Uaiiag Deates, shen mach law persons under the teen. Nor is ita sufficient excuse for this violatio the law to say that the act makes the oath of the recruit conclusive evidence as to his age, It isso between the recruit and the United States; but it cannot be held to be sufficient to deprive the parent of the services of bis child, when the statute also secures me parent the control’ of child years Any tion of law would a great frauds on the rights gerd an age above teen as ageof th the act of Congress of 1861 minors over the age of eishtcen may be enlisted, It {¢ alxo so provided by the. act of 1862, and Congress undoubtedly possesses the power to authorize the enlistmont of persons under that. age. This they have not done, but on the contrary have forbidden it (act of February, 1862) -1 do not consider the enlistment of the recruit in the present case valid, ‘but am of tho opinion that it was made in direct violation of law and that the recruit should be discharged. A ques- tion, however, has been raised ag to the power of a judze of the State court to grant the rellef sought for, There have been several cases in which it has been held that such power should not be exercised, and within the past year two or three-cases have been before the judges of this court in this district, in which similar ruling has been aceepied, Ido not propose, therefore, to examine tia q.estion any further than to follow such cisions: until a review shail be had of rome of these cases by the couris, leaving to the petitioner to review this decision by certiorari to the General Term, or to seek thut relief whieh it xeems to me he is entitled to, by an application to one of the judges of the Wnited States courts, I can- not believe that such a direct violation of the act of Con- gress would be si ined on such an application.

Havava, Dec. 22, 1866. ‘The difficulties through which our market has Deen passing these last few weeks were brought to = crisis by # meeting held at the Palace, The views pro- pounded at the Palace meeting proved quite erroncous im their main bearings, just as J expected, only with this difference, that I did not anticipate the result s0 sud- denly. The fact is, it was not one of the most judicious steps that coukt have been taken to convoke a meeting in that mabner—it was effected in s0 conspicuous a loca- lity as the official residence ofa Captain Genera!—for the purpose intended. It gave an undoubted snd weighty confirmation of the crisis, which naturally spread alarm, not only in Havana, bat all over the coun - ty, and which it will be impossible to arrest under existing circumstances. Hence, far from its leading tq; any relief, it will entail s considerable deal of mischief, in proof of which there was first @ run om the bank of Bossier & Co. the very uext day after the Pa- lace meeting; that was followed om the rest of the banks, excopting ‘the Banco Espatiol, the savings bank, the Alianza aad the Seguros Maritimos. The two latter have done yery little banking or dis- counting businf’s. The excitement prevailing yosterdsy fn conseqnence of this general runon the banks was intense, and the crowds of people in waiting seem to have been increased by a rukh from the country. The Banco Espanol was evidently prepared for such au event, and weathered the storm better than many expected, It is said that in the course of the “guperior’? orderm Were given to go on paying in gold, irrespective of thw usual office houra for closing; and it is further <aid that $500,000 in goid were immediately collected in the gov- ernment offices and taken to the bank, Ou ‘Thursday the Bank of Bossier suspended payment and closed its doors, On Friday the Bank of Almacines: de Regia (known as Fesssr's), Bank del Comercio (known as Jellas), and the Bank de Jose did the same.
