SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE HERALD. Admiral Farragut’s Visit to the Eternal City General Hooker’s Reception of the Naval Commander—Presentations of Forcign Min- isters, Natives, Nebles and Distinguished Foreigners. Rome, March 25, 1868. Admiral Farragut left Rome this morning by rail ¢ Naples, with his lady and the ofticers of his stair, Tr, Hooker accompanying the party to the station and making every requisite arrangement with the failway authorities for the accomplishment of the journey in the most comfortable manner, as the Ad- Miral’s hoalth requires land travelling to be made as Uttle fatiguing for him as possible, Although no Official demonstrations have been made in Rome in his honor, Admiral Farragut has been extremely interested in and pleased with his visit to the Eter- nal City, and gratified at the benevolent reception Biven him at the Vatican by the Sovereign Ponti. 1 The principal private attention paid him here was General and Mrs. Hooker's evening reception on Monday last, which was conducted with almést regal splendor, their apartments in the Bonaparte Palace Rever having been more elegantiy decorated or drowded with more distinguished guests, The suit of reception rooms were already full when the Admiral arrived and took his position in Mrs. looker’s boudoir, a charmiug room, full of exquisite orks of art and ver/u, where he Was provided with an arm chair between Mas de Castro, Amb dress of Spain, and the Duchess of Saldanha, Am! Badress of Portugal. 4, The first presentations were those of the Corps Dipiomatiqu ,, comprising the representatives of Al Great Britain, Vrassia, Fran Bavaria, tris Spain, Portugal and other European Powers, Roman nobility appeared in the persons of Prince Doria, Prince Bandini-Zinstiniani, Prince lassirno, Duke of Rignano, Duke and Duchess of ano, Marquis Caprauico and many others, who shook hands with the Admiral after the diplomatists. General Mantzler, Minister of War; Count Sonnem- berg, Colonel of the Swiss Guards, and other govern- ment officers came next, and the general circle fol- lowed, comprising among the American visitors Mr. R. ©. Winthrop and Mr. John P. Kennedy, and among the English Lord Houghton, Lord.and Lady Grey and Hon, Mrs. Bruce. ¢ Admiral was most courteous and cheerful under what must have been @ Very fatt; Oe infliction, for as about eight hun- dred invitations had been issued there were upwards of five hundred visitors present, most of whom were @pplicants for a shake of the hand and a few compll- ‘Mentary words with the veteran; and the attendance would have been still more numerous had not the same evening been previously fixed on for parties at the palaces of the Princess Rospigliosi, the Duchess of Salviaté, Li Morton and Mrs. Monk. During the short conversation which I enjoyed with Admiral Farragut he assured me that he had been much impressed with the benevolence of the Pope's reception on Saturday, and should take away a very pleasing recollection of his Holiness and of the Eternal City, where he regretted to curtail his stay, imperative reasons compelling him to forego protracting it till the Easter week. The application for Adwiral Farragut’s audience of the Pope led to some doubts of etiquette as to whether it ought to come through Mr. Hooker, secre- tary to General King, United States Minister, whose letters of recall have not yet been presented to the Pope, or Mr. Cushman, United States Consul. The latier course was adopted, aithough the Consul him- self had never been presented at the court of his Holiness. It is not generally known that the etiquette of the Papai Court does not require any oficial presentation of persons obtaining special audiences. The Pope knows who he is iz to receive before they enter The pudieuce hal ich they do alone, No one ever resentd Ambassadors fo the Pope, but after they ave enjoyed @ special and private audience it is customary for them to present to his Holiness their of secretaries and attachés, who are invited the waiting halls into the audience room for that purpose, Postal I uterruption—The French Evacuation. Rome, March 26, 1868, An interruption in the railway communication with the North on account of damages on the line »etween Foligno and Perugia, caused by heavy storms of rain, suspended postal communication for twenty-four hours and prevented me from forward- ing iny letter of yesterday until now. ‘The evacuation of Pontifical territory by the French is continuing and it 1s asserted that the French and Itallan governments have come to an understanding by which all the remaining troops of the occupation corps are to return to France before Easter. I do not imagiue that this prediction will be realized to ‘the letter, although I fully belleve that such a result Will be obtained ere long.

Mr. Seward’s Tender of Employment to Garl- baldi—What the General Was Required to ool NEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 15, 1868-QUADRUPLE SHERT. rox be honorably held they felt it to be incomvatib'c with the General's high position. People asked what could be the services that Garibaldi was able to ren- der to the United States government. The title of secret agent conveyed too much of an idea of police- | man or detective functions to be pleasant to Italian And such an insinuation was perfidiously male by the conservative press of Florence and other cities in their affectation with which they published the statement in the first place and their excessive anxiety to receive an explanation, capped with the significant “Meanwhile we abstain from comment.’" ‘The Italian papers took the alleged appointment of Garibaldi as secret agent of the United States in Italy from a Washington paper of the 5th of Febru- ary which published a letter, read in the Senate on the 4th of February, purporting to have been ad- dressed by Mr. Seward to Senator Charles Sumner relative to the employment of secret agents abroad by the American government. This letter, which is the Italian translation, bears no date, justifies the State Department in having recourse to the services of secret agents, and gives the name of those employes in that capacity in’ various parts of the world, to- gether with the sums expended on this account in the years from 1861 to 1867 inclusive—the total amount is stated at $41,103 41. Among the list of names is that of Major General Garibaldi, Mr. Seward’s letter was followed by a translation of the debate in the Senate to which it gave rise. In this debate Senator Cameron 1s represented to have ex- ressed his surprise that General Garibaldi should have been employed in such a capacity by the Wash- nee Cabinet “to ponte ad caja Leaver of our Aerie ry ag @ secret agent and to be paid by us, w! was believed to be an Itallan triot, who fought solely for the See of man.” ese words made a very di Ie Set 2p here, although the; exactl} represented the feeling that passed through every 's mind on hearing the news. Garibaldi’s positive denial renders it evident that there 1s a mis- take somewhere, and the Italian public will await the issue with much interest, Italian affairs, since the success of the ministry in Parliament announced in my last, have entered a dead calm, and were it not for the continued increase of b age the unsatisfactory condition of Sicily I should have the rare pleasure of drawing a very rosy picture of the state of affairs. Connt Cam- bray Digny’s administration of the finances is {ns pir- ing confidence at home and abroad—a fact attested by that most delicate and infallible test—the price of rente. This has been steadily rising in Paris, Lon- don and Florence during the last week, while the premium on gold has begun to fall. The general debate on the macinato, or “grinding” tax on ce- reals, the measure to which the Minister attaches most importance, has Cae very languidly during the past week, The Chamber is weary and listless, and would, I think, accept a proposal to abolish general debates altogether. In the Italian Parliament, at least, they cause a waste of much precious time to no purpose. A general debate is the of all the bores, for then they get a chance of ng their vague, crude theories and rambling, in- ve discourses upon the House. Here, too, s the pernicious practice of permitting speeches to be read, which is taken full advantage of by such individuals, Signor Castellani, reading of at railroad pace, has occupied two whole days of the present week in communicating his ideas to the Chamber. Another member @ day and a half, while three hours, half the ume of the datly session, is the smallest average allowance for each speaker. I must, however, ex- cept Signor Crispi, the leader of the party of the left, who contented himself with a clever speech in oppo- sition to the tax of not more thanan hour, Suice thelr two last dectsive efforts the left have shown a discouragement that promises well for the success of the government when the voting of the tax comes on, The Minister of Finance will certainly make it a Cabinet question, and if the fates have defeat in store for him disorder, with ultimate national bankruptcy, will be the condition of Italian finances, liamentary committee upon the grinding sed the addition of a clause for de- rg ax upon payment of the interest on Jtalian rente, whether hel natives or foreigners, However speciously disgui , such @ reduction of the interest on the renfe would be a gross breach of faith towards the foreign holders of Italian stock, and would send Italian credit—in a very bad state a!- ready—at once down to zero. Count Cambray Digny has met this proposal of the committee by a distince mauvifestation of bis intentions on. this subject. His bill for the reorganization of the income tax, just introduced into Parliament, provides for the deduction of income tax from the interest of the rente only in the case of native Italians or foreigners permanently domiciled in Italy. Foreign stockhold- ers residing abroad are exempted from the tax. On this subject we may expect some sharp skirmishing ju Parliament, where there is a large party in favor of indiscriminate retention of the income tax upon the coupon, Fiorence, as well as her sister cities in the penin- sula, is busily preparing for the great /éfes that are to celebrate the nuptials of Humbert and Margharita. The funds have n_ voted, the plans determined, and the workmen have commenced the erection of the lists in which one hundred and fifty gallant knights—the flower, the golden youth of Italy—are to do their devoir for their ladies’ sake. Daniel Manin’s ashes were restored to Venice yes- terday with great pomp. The baller contaanlng the remains of the man so beloved by his countrymen steered jestically down the Grand canal to the church of San Zaccaria, followed by a vast proces- sion of gondolas and boats dressed’ with mourni einblems, The be oe nl was Impressive and beauti- ful. Joy was mingled with sadness in the recoliec- tions it called "P for the Venetians could feel that Daniel Manin’s heroic self-sacrifice in the cause of Venetian liberty had borne good fruit. He wag a pio- neer in the campaign of Italian independence which culminated in the resurrection of Italian unity. None of the men who spent their lives in that long and apparently hopeless sti le against Austrian despotism hoid a dearer place in the hearts of their countrymen than Daniel Manin. His de- fence of Venice after the overthrow of Italian hopes at Novara would alone suffice to place him upon the immortal roll of Plutarch’s heroes, In Venice itself, bis native city and the scene of his suifer ings and triumphs, his memory is held in almost idolatrous veneration. Requiescat in pace. An important arrest was made at Perugia last Thursday of a Count E—, ex-ofllcer of the old Neapolitan army and a very active agent of Francis If, This emissary had beeh in Naples and Sicily in the interest of his patron, and then visited Florence, where he had interviews with several partisans ot the old régime. From this city he pro to re- turn to Rome, but 8 Dons, who had been watch- ing thelr man, arrested him at Perugia, and the Coant is now in durance vile. Important papers were found upon him relative to Bourbon plots and intrigues in Southern Italy, together with the plan of an fosurreetionary movement in contemplation.

Agreeably to Garibaldi’s desire General Fabriai took ‘copy of the letter before parting with it and sent "his copy to the Riforma for publication yesterday. Garibaidi’s explicit «tatement will be very gratify- ing to the Italian democrats who were much pained at the idea of their leader, while holding the rank of | general and being a Deputy to Parliament, aocept- ing employment as the secret agent of a foreigm gov- ernment, Without doubting that this office might er of Public Worship and Education to Pesth to confer with the Kaiser; object of the conference not stated, Dut the choice of the Ministers indicated suffclently that t touched the Concordat and the new laws, This deduction of the public has not been of denied.

The speech was undeniably the most exhaustive, as well as the most potent, uttered throughout the debate, and left, indeed, very little to be said by bis followers on the government side, > Minister President, and Prince Carlos Auerspe! rman of the committee Baron Lichtenfels, the el that reported upon the Civil ill as sent up from the lower House. In Prince Aut 8 speech, however, two episodes demand notice; the one in which he sternly sevelion the calumnies against gov- ernment contained in the report of the minority com- mittee upon the bill, and the other in which he warned the House against the sinister consequences likely to accrue from their rejection of the measure. “The ministry,” he said, ‘could only deeply deplore such an eventuality, and pence solemnly against being held responsible for the momentous results to be expected should the [louse vote in favor of Count Mensdortt’s amendment (for adjournment of debate until the negotiations with the Papacy should be brought to a close), or of the minority (Cardinal Rauscher and Co.’s motion).”” Baron Lichtenfels’ epee was the summing up of the debate pronounced with impressive solemnity by the yenerable peer, and listened to with reverent at- tention by the House. Then the eternal Arnits, writhing under the castigation administered to him by Herbst, lifted up his voice in loud protestation, but was speedliy silenced by the Speaker. Five min- utes more were devoted to formalities, and then the event, awaited by breathiess thousands, crowding the streets round the Landhaus (the division on the two adverse amendments), came off, each peer pro- nouncing his yote aloud in answer to his name, Against Count Mensdorff’s amendment a government majority of 20 (65 to 45) was announced, and greeted with prolonged cheering; but the demonstration of the day was reserved for the result of the second division (on Rauscher’s amendment). When the Speaker proclaimed that the Mouse rejected the minority report by a majority of 35 (69 to 34), the galleries broke out into such cheers as one would have fancied none but Eng- lishmen could have given out—cheers whic! were echoed in the lobbies, caught up on the staircase, down which they rolled like file fring, into the court of the Landhaus, and thence into the thronged Herren and fete; bomereey where they were taken up by at least five thousand glad voices, and reiterated again and again, with intense passion and power. Vicnna went clean mad for the rest of the evening. As Giskra stepped into the court a roar of welcome rose to the skies. He turned deadly pale, and ere he had time to beg for mercy was caught up in the arms of the people, and carried in triumph along the Strauchgasse, and through part of the Freyunginto the Hof, where he prevailed upon his bearers to set him down, and hurried into a lendiy faker, quite unmanned. As soon as the crowd saw him safe in the carriage, they rushed at the horses to unharness tiem and drag him home, but desisted at his earnest entreaty. Beust, the ven- erable Giliprazer, leaning on his staff, both Auers- ergs, Hasner, Herbst, Berger, Gahlenz and Schmer- ling were all received with frantic cheering. n thany a manly cheek the tears were pouring fast. Vidi tantum! At length the aense masses broke uP. only to gather again together @ couple of hours later. At seven the town was brilliantly iliuminated, save where the Jewish colleges, monasteries and the Car- dinal’s palace in the Kothenthrumstrasse left dark spots on the otherwise unbroken lines of light, In another hour the suburbs had followed the cia espec! jis- example; Leo) tadt and Wioden tinguished themselves, and the whole ulation of the Kaiserstadt—bar the priests, who kept close enough—turned ont into the streets to celebrate the triumph of the honest government. Later in the evening—from nine to ten—bodies of citizens, several thousands strong, marched, cheering and singing the National Hymn, from one minister's residence to another, giving each member of the Cabinet an ovation, and obtaining a few words from Giskra, Auersperg and Herbst, in answer to their thundering “Vivats.” Not the slightest demonstration was made opposite the Cardinal's palace, nor was a single member of the priesthood insulted or molested. When the procession got to the Josefsplatz, where the statue of the great patriot and sovereign stands, under the shadow of the Burg, the Viennese citizens surrounded the image of their beloved monarch, and greeted it with nine as hearty and ringing cheers as ever were heard withio the confines of this empire.

That old edifice, the Established Church of Ire- land, the organization and imperfections of which no one ventured to denounce, is about to be battered down, to the great stupefaction of its admirers, who are confounded by so much audacity, Mr. Glad- stone will derive honor from having struck the first blow, and we ardently desire that he may succeed in overthrowing an institution which has maintained a Portion of the abuses of Catholicism, not such as we see it at presens in France, but as it existed in the sixteenth century. The Established Church has archbishops and bishops appointed canons renee: archdeacons an parish has ite rector, a vicar, an incumbent or per- petual curate, besides some one paid to perform the duty and to whom the beneti clergyman pays a small sum out of his revenue, When an in- cumbent wants a curate he merely advertises for one. . “The Anglican clergy,” says Voltaire in his “Cinquiéme Lettre Sur les Anglais,” ‘has retained peretieeenror ceremonies, and especially that of re. ceiv! the Uuthes, with a very scrupulous attention.” ‘These tithes, cominuted into fixed sums, are paid by all landed proprietors without distinction of cre But, as M. de Franqueville remarks in his work on the ‘Institutions de l’Angleterre,” the members of the Established Church do not number one-third of the inhabitants, and tho result is that more than two- thirds of the citizens, although Dissenters, are con- strained to pay the clergy of the State while provid- ing for the expenses of their own worship, which re- es no aid from the government. Thanks to the tithes and the benefices no clergy is better endowed. The Archbishop of Canterbury receives 875,000f. a year, the Bishop of London 250,000f., of Durham. 200,000f., of Winchester 175,000f, and of Oxford 125,000f, In Ireland the Archbishop of Ar- magh has a revenue of 302,175f., and @ calcu. lation has been made that one of the latest incumbents of that see, Lord John George Beresford, received as income froin the various ap- Leiegqernaen which he held, a sum of 19,000,000f, fhe Archbishop of Dublin has 184,660f, and the following prelates the sumg mentioued:—Of Kilmore 156,326f., Derry 200,000f., and of Tuam 115,000f, The larger portion of these revenues is raised, not from the members of the so-called National Church, who number 591,872 only, but from the 4,605,265 Catholics, The Deans of St Paul's, Westminster aud Manchester receive each 50,000f., and the Canons 25,000f, Pluralities are largely practised, M. Auréle Kervigan mentions a Bishop of Durham who appointed his son Chancellor of the Cathedral of Lincoln, Vicar of Nettleham, canon prebendary of three chapters, rector of two parishes, chaplain to the Hospital of St. Leonard, &c., &c. ‘The same work contains lamentable details respect- ing the poverty of the working curates paid by the incumbents, A vicar of Camberwell, whose income was 57,000f., had the services of his parish per- formed by two curates, between whom he divided 6,000f, Such is the order of things threatened by Mr. Gladstone, The Dominion of ada and Its litical Fature.

It united Canada and New Brunswick with Nova Scotia under one ad- ministrative and representative eee. Nova Scotia objected then, and objects now.

Examining into the causes of this discontent which threatens to explode the plan of a coherent colonial power in the north of the American contl- nent, we find it to be of an exclusively economical character. * * * But the people of Nova Scotia commit the mistake of believing that by submitting to Canadian predominance—a predominance not arro- gated, but natural, and due simply to the i of 80) lor numbers, im and opulen ey I their comme! fat at tl mercy of United Stat Precisely con- ova Scotia has a destiny of trary is tru her own to fulfll, and will not be impeded by the new confederate policy. Seven years she was work- ing two coal pits; at present she is work! seventy; she exports two millions sterling worth of her own productions, and dismisses every year from her har- bors four thousand laden vessels, Ought such acolony to be jealous of the Canadas? And yet, as we have said, she is only now inning. We should hardly value this beg! ning, this wonderful elasticity and development, at so high a rate were it not for the Confederacy Act of last year, which created a new balance in the new world. Let us keep in mind the facts justifying this view. The population af our North American provinces multiplies itself more rapidly than that af the Union. ‘om their moun- tains of snow and masses of ice the settlers of the extreme north have cut canals, have di rivers, have swarmed over lakes, have built cities, and if only for the future they can regard their communites not ag isolated settlements, bul as the components of a great nation having interests in common which would make the prosperity of one the pros- pony of all, their destinies are safe. Yet Nova Scotia is unwilling, and why? it is almost absurd to note the poor {tems of her petition to the Imperial Legislature. The question, absolutely, is one about salmon, mackerel and herrings; about !unber, at and Indian corn. But, according to the latest ad- vices, Canada has been losing, while Nova Scotia has been gaining, through the results of the Confederacy— if, indeed, we are justified in suggesting that any pages! results have been demonstrated after so rief a period of experiment, These irritable colonists are apt to forget their own necessities, They may sell as much timber as they can hew; but they must buy the visions they need. The Canadas sold twelve millions of bushels of wheat in 1865, while the Nova Scotians were buying four mil- lion dollars worth of Nour. But at the same time Nova Scotia comprehends her advant in being enabied to lay down for the Atlantic cities her bituminous coal at a price much lower than that at which it can be purchased from the States rmaineral dis- tricts—and this, too, under the disadvantage of a two oe ton quty. ane aes works and facto- ies of the Eastern States positively require the Nova cotlan fuel. Adantic steamers, once to coal at New York ana now steam into Nova Scotian harbors. Nova Scotit—the petulant col- ony—sells £1,000,000 worth of fish to the world every year. Why, therefore, this outery? There has been as yet no diminution of her Prosperity, and we per- ceive no signs of an — decrepitude in her future, Nova Scotia ts the “wild Wales” of this England of the West. In spite of her affected nationality, her chronic grumblings, her grievances made so much of Dow to be forgotten hereaiter, she wiil form an tnte- gral portion af that glorious dominion af Canada which will ere long play @ prominent part in the politics of America.

A long time ago a dispute arose between the two governments respecting the jurisdiction of certain of the frontier in the vicinity of Hannekin, district of Bagdad. Twenty years since England and Russia, as mediators in the affair, sent special commissioners to examine the territory, and @ map was drawn up, but no settle- ment was arrived at. Now, the question having been brought on the tapis, the Porte recently orde! its ambassador at Teheran to proceed to Bagdad to negotiate with a Persian commissioner who had been ordered to meet him there, but it appears that the negotiation was not pro- gressing Sees as Namyk Pacha, the Gov- ernor of 5 Seagate at the delay, re- cently seleare) ied the Porte suggesting, as the best means of closing this long standin; atfair, that he should be ordered to march straight upon the Per- sian capital with an army of ten thousand men, when he would engage to settle the dispute prompt- ly at headquarters. The budget is now being made up for the past year, and it is sald the revenue and expenditure are about Cana, thirteen millions revenue and thirteen millions two hundred thousand expenditure. The empire has now two hundyed thousand men under arms, and the navy contains twenty-seven ships of war, exclusive of transports. Cap! Hubert, royal navy, who recently received an appointment in the Turkish service, with a salary 3,000 pie 9 ned annum, has been made a Pacha, with a seat at the Board of Admirals. Admiral Wiseman, another British officer, will arrive shortly and will also join the naval service here. We are expecting great im- provements to be made in the navy under the direc- tion of these two able oilicers, At present it is ina far less efficient state than the army. As an oifset to British influence and direction in naval affairs the French are making great efforts et the Turkish military schools under their control. The Lyceum proposed by the French am- bassador is being organiz and pany, French pro- fessora are being engaged for the service. The gov- ernment is now taking into serious consideration the practicability of employing its Christian subjects fm the ranks of the army, and is desirous of adopt- ing some sysiem which will render the service popular with the non-mussulman population. The ‘Turks are good soldiers, but notoriously bad seamen, while the Greeks excel in the latter profession, 1t would therefore seem to be good policy to man the navy rather than recruit the army from among the Christians. Secretary Seward has lost no time in releasing the United States Minister here, Mr. Morris, from the embarrassing position in which he has been ited for some time past, through the publication by the departinent of his despatches, some of which docu- ments contained remarks far from complimentary either to the mental capacity of the Sultan or the probity of his Ministers. A translation of the despatches containing these undipio- matic allusions to his Majesty and the high functionaries of the empire having falien into the hauds of Fuad Pacha, he is said to have expressed his astonishinent to Mr. Morris at this breach of oficial courtesy in no measured terms, and declined holding any further intercourse with him. ‘The lat- ter limmediately reported the affair to Secretary Seward, who has promptly assumed the whole biame of the publication of the offensive remarks, and has tendered an apology or explanation couch in such graceful, dignitied and friend). iengoaae. as to completely disarm the resentment of the Turkish Minister of Foreign Affairs and leave him no alter- nutive but to bury the official hatchet.

Under the titie of “Les Agitations Révolution- naires” the France remarks on the fact of disturb- ances having broken out simultaneously in different parts of the empire, as if in obedience to an order issued from some directing point, and as a sort of trial of strength on the side of the revolutionary party.

The McCardle Case—The Jurisdiction of the Court—Review of Such Cases on Habens Cor. pus and Certlorari Practiced in This Cours Before the Act of 1567, Recently Repealed The Florida Cases To Be Reviewed Undes the Old Practice, Notwithstanding the Re- peal. Ex parte, Wm. H. MeCardle, Appellant.—Appeal from the Circuit Court for the District of Mississippt, ‘The facts in this cause are familiar to the public, It will be seen from the opinion of the court following that it is held that the court has jurisdiction of this class of cases independent of the act of 1867, re- cently repealed, but that the writ of habeas corpus must be aided by the writ of certiorari if suohe cause is to be brought up without the jurisdiction conferred by that statute, Mr. Chief Justice Chase delivered the opinion of the court:—This cause is now before us on motion to dis miss the appeal from the Circuit Court from the dis trict of Mississippi. On November 12, 1867, a writ of habeas corpus was issued from that court upon the petition of McCardle, directed to Alvin C. Gillem and E. 0. ©. Ord, requiring them to produce the body of the petitioner, together with the cause of his imprt- sonment, and to abide the order of the court in respect to the legality of such imprisonment. At the time of issuing the order E. 0. 0. Ord was Brevet Major General commanding the Fourth Military District, and Alvin CO. Gillem was Brevet Major Gen- eral commanding the sub-listrict of Mississippt, under the Reconstruction acts of Congress. In obedience to the writ Major Generai Gillem, on the 2ist of November, made a return of the cause of im- prisonment, from which it appeared that McCardle had been arrested and was held in custody for trial by a military commission, under the alleged authority of the Reconstruction acts, for charges, first, of disturbance of the public peace; second, of inciting insurrection, disorder and violence; third, of libel, and fourth, of impeding reconstruction, On making this return Major General Gillem surren- dered McCardle to the court, and he was ordered tn- to custody of the Marshal. Subsequently on the 25th of November, 1867, the Circuit Court seed that the petitioner be remanded to the custody Major General Gillem, from which judgment the peti+ tioner prayed an appeal to this court, which was allowed and a bond for costs given accords ing to the order of this court, On the 25th of November, on a& motion of the petitioner, he was admitted to bail on his own recognizan with suffictent sureties, in the sum of one thousal dollars, conditioned for his appearance to abide by and perform the final judgment of this court. ‘The legal consequence of this admission to bail was the discharge of the prisoner both from the custody of the Marshal and of Major General Gillem, with a continue ing liability, however, under the recognizance, to be returned, first to the civil court and then to military custody, in case of aflirmance by this court of the Judgment of the Cireult Court. The motion to dis iniss the popes has been thoroughly argued, and we are now to dispose of it. The ground assigned for the motion is want of jurisdiction, in this court, ef appeals from the Judgments of tuferior courts ip cases of habeas corpus. Whether this objection ig sound or otherwise depends upon the act of 1867, Prior to the pi re of that act this court exercised appellate jurisdiction over the action of inferior courts by habeas corpus. In the case of Buford (3 Cranch, 19, 453; see also ex parte Dugan 2. Wall 134) this court, by habeas corpus, aided by a writ of certio: reviewed and reversed the judgment of the Circuil Court of the District of Columbia. In that casea@ econ brought before that court by the writ bad een remanded, but was dischat upon the habeas corpus issued out of this court, 7 see writ of habeas corpus also,alded by a certiorari, this court, in the of baliman and Swartwout (4Cranch, i) in re’ @ commitment of the Circuit Court of the disti The prisoners had been committed on a charge treason by order of the Circuit Court, and on their petition this court issued the two writs, and the pris oners having been prod should be harged onthe ground that the come mitment of the Circuit Court was not warranted i law. But though the exercise of appellate jurisdice tion over the judgments of inferior tribunals was not unknown to the pi ice of court act of 1867, it was attended with some inconven! and embarrassment. It was necessary to use the writ of certiorari in addition to the writ of habeas corpus, and there was no regulated and established practice for the of parties invoking the jurisdicti died in a small class of cases arising from commits ments for ace done or omitted under authority of foreign governments by the of Al Tre i nena eh im authorized a direct appeal from any judgment tice of this court or judge @ Circuit Court of the ? district, and from the judgment of the Circuit to this court. This provision for qj was trans) ferred, with some modification, from the act of 1849 to the act of 1867, and the first question we are te consider upon the construction of act is whether this right of appeal extends to all classes of habeas i et | on argument that ap cou ven the act only from the judgments of the ‘Gresit rendered upon appeals to that court, from decisiong of @ single judge or of 4 district ve bal ie wi of the act are these:—‘'From the any judge, justice or court inferior to the Circ Court an a) beet be taken to the Circuit States for the district in which cause is heard, and from the judgment of said Cire cuit Court to the Supreme Court of the United States.” These words, considered without reference to the other provisions of the act, are not rmavceptibte of the construction = upon them at the bar; but thas construction can hardly be reconciled with the other provisions of theact. ‘The first section gives to several courts of the United States, and the seve: justices and judges of such courts within ther respective jurisdictions, in addition to the authori already conferred by law, power to grant writs habeas corpus in all cases where any person may be restrained of liberty in violation of the constitutions or of any treaty or law of the United States. TI legisiation is of the most comprehensive characters It brings within the habeas corpus jurisdiction every court and of every judge every uble case of privation of liberty contrary to the hational con- stitution, treaties or laws. Jt is impossible to widen this jurisdiction, and it is to this jurisdiction that the system of appeals is applied. Froim decisions of @ judge or of a district court, appeal lics to the Circuit Court, and from the judgment of the circuit court to this court. But each circuit court as well as each dis trict court andeach judge, may exercise the origins Jurisdiction, and no satisfactory reason was assigned for givin, ha yo to this court froin the judgmenta of the Circult Court rendered on appeal, and net@ giving like appeals from the judgments of circait courts, rendered iu the exercise of original jurisdic- tion. If any class of cases were fo be excluded from the right of appeal the exclusion would naturally apply to cases brought into the Cireuit Court by =. pe rather than to cases originating there. In tl former description of cases the petitioner for the writ, without appeal to this court, would have advantage of at least two hearings, while in tl latter, upon the hypothesis of no appeal, the peti- toner could have none. These considerations seem to require the construction that the a of appeal attaches equally to all judgments. of the Circuit Cor unless there be something in the clause defin- ing the appellate jurisdiction which demands the restricted interpretation, The words of that clause may admit either; but the spirit and purpose of the Jaw can only be satisfied by the former. We enter- tain no doubt, therefore, that an appeai lies to this court from the jus ent of the Vircult Court in the case before us. jotuer objection to the juris diction of this court on appeal was drawn from the clause of the first section which declares that the jurisdiction defined by it is, “in addition to the authority already conferred by law.” This objec- tion seems to be an objection to the jurisdiction of the Circuit Court over the cause rather than to the jurisdiction of this court on appeal, and the latter jurisdictionyas has just been shown, is coextensive with the former, ‘Every question of substance which the Circult Court could decide upon the re- turn of the habeas corpus, iciuding the question of its own jurisdiction, may be revised here on appeal from its final judgment, But an inquiry on this mo- tion into the jurisdiction of the Circuit Court would be premature. It would extend to the merits of the cause in that court, while the question before us on this motion to dismiss must be necessarily limited to our jurisdiction on appeal, The same observations apply to the argument of counsel that the acts of Mecardle constituted a military offence for which he might be tried, under the Reconstruction acis, by military commission. This argument, intended te convince us that the Circuit Court had no jurisdio~ tion of the cause, applies to the main question, which might arise upon the hearing of the appeal. If intended to convince us that this court has no ap- late jurisdiction of the cause, it is only necessar; ty refer to the considerations already adduced this point. We are satisfied, as we have said, that we have such jurisdiction under the 1867, and the notice to dismiss must therefore be nied, The act of 1867, giving a direct appeal in ancl cases, having been recentiy repealed, it remaity; to be seen what view the court will take of the eect of the repeal on this cause, and it accordingl: continued until the next term of the coury, for re« argument and final judgment, But, under “his opine m, the Florida cases under the Reconstgy.ction lawe capital cases), have tdken out writs 9 ‘nabeas cor+ pus anil certiorari under the old prac¥ce, and have obtained a ny of proceedings below rintil final hears here nexé term.
