Tlio rar being over - not a shot haring been fired fur weeks, and not a man on earili being now in arms to resisf the authority of the Uuited Stal.es - wo tvnew our prayer fur prompt, fu',1, ötfequivicul restoration of tho pi-ivilego of llabeas Corpus, coupled with tbe clearing out of our military uri.uns by tho Liberation ol ;beir iumatoH or tlieir rondition to tho civil authorities for deten tiüii, trial and puuiáhment. We can imagine no goud reason for the iurther dominancu of mariiul law ia auy State oortb of tho Putomno and Ohio. Wo havo bad abundtuit exhibitions of " Military Justice" throughout tLe past four yenis. as was reasonable and fil - ia fact, latheruiore than tbat.
