at the time of its service, the prisoners
have not been in the custody, nor within
the power or control of the respondent.
It was sngKested by Gov. Bragg, one
of the Counsel for tue prisoners, that this
return was insufficient, and that the par
ty making it was guilty of contempt. He
further suggested that bis client had a
right to have Col. Kirk placed in con
tempt for making an in.sufficieut return.

THE CIVIL LAW TRIUMPHANT
- MILITARY HE'SPOTISM OVER
THROWN.
IX THE n.^BEAS CORPUS CASKS, BEFORE
niS HONOR, JUDGE BROOKS, OF THE U.
S. DISTRICT COURT, ON 19TH INST.
The ease of Josiah Turner, editor of the
Sentinel, was first called, and the petition
and return read, from which it appeared
that Mr. Turner was arrested under an
order of Gov Holden on an alleged charge
o o
of consjiiracy to overthrow the State Gov
ernment.
The Counsel for the prisoner, Governor
Graham, argued that the return was in-
siiffici('iit inasmuch as it did not state the
day of arrest, the nature of the order, &c,
^Ir. Boydeii, Counsel for Col. Kirk, ar
gued that tlie return was anfficiont -that
prisoner had no cause to comjilain of it.
Per Curiam.—That would be a pro- j *^0 make return to tlie writs first issued by
THE CAUSE OF PRUSSIA.
Some person, anxious to create preju
dice against the unification of Germany,
which is really the cause that Prussi-i, as
the representative power of Germany, is
required to uphold, has issued a pamphlet
from Boston, entitled : ’‘Origin of the Bis
marck Policy ; or, the Ilohenzollern doc
trine of maxims, described and defined I'y
the most eminent monarch of the Prussian
dynasty, Frederic the Great: His opin
TerKfl^ to vindit'Ate tii-STigirts of parties,talons on religion, justice, morals, politics,
but only to vindicate the dignity of the
Court and the majesty of the law—if the
Court is satisfied that no contempt is in
tended parties liave no rigiit to complain.
The case of Adolphus G. Moure was
ne.\t called and the petiiidii and return
read. In this, and a number of other
cases. Col. Kirk returned that some time
in July writs had beem issued to him for
the prisoners by Chief Justice Pearson—
that lie had not then made retnrn to said
writs because lie had been ordered not to
do so by lii.s superior officer, Governor
Holden, commander-in-chief of the milita
ry forces of ilie Stat(‘—that Gov. Holden
diplomacy’, statesmanship, the German
people, etc. Written by himself express
ly’ for the use of his successor to the
throne. Cai'efnlly translated from an au
thentic copy’ of the original IRSS.”
The significance of this j ublication just
now cannot be misunderstood. It is. as
Slated by the New Orleans Times, an at
tempt to siiow that the Great Frederic of
Prussia was a cold bloodod Mepliistopbe-
les, who loi/ked upon religion, ’^lorality
and justice with supreme contempt, and
that the B:.«marck policy is founded on
these well catablished Hohenzolleru doc-
truies.
It will be readily admitted that Fred
eric the Great was not Great in every-
tliiiig. He bad bis faults, as other mor
tals have, and among ins other eccentric
ities may be noted bluntness of speech
and a sovereign repugnance for all sorts
of shams. But for him, Prussia w'ouhl
have been dismembered and blotted out
from the map of Europe as an independ
ent kingdom. When hope seemed little
less than madness, and his literary friend,
Voltaire, a(lvi.«ed him lo sue for mercy, lie
replied : “1 am a man, and therefore born
to suffer. To the vigor of destiny I op-
1 pose my owm constancy’. Menaced with
shipwreck, I will bear the storm. I will
he a king in spirit, and I will die as a
have lived, a king.” These brave, hero
ic words show what manner of man he
was The circumstances considered, they
cannot he read even now, after the lapse
of more than a century’, without making
the generous heart to palpitate with a
tlirill of admiration far the man who ut-
u I tered iliem. What if his acts did not con-
barrier pre.sentod itself letween Iiim and i iorm in strict observance to the text-books

ders of Iiis commanding otficer—which

THE NEW french MINISTRY.
'cause
Count de Palikao—General Charles
Guillaume Marie Cousin de Montauhan—
the new Minister of War, was born in
1796, and was employ’ed at an early age
in Algiers, where he distinguished him-
se’f as a cavalry officer. He advanced
through successive grades to general of!
brigade in 1851. In 1S60 he was invest
ed with the chief command of the French
expedition in China, and there achieved a
series of vicloiits. The capture of the
forts of Takon at the mouth of the Peiho ;
the great victory of the Chinese forces on
the 21st of September; the destruction of
the imperial palace, and entry of the
French army into Pekin on the 12lh of
October, were among the important affairs
in which he shared while in command of
the French army’ in China. He was lib
erally rewarded on his return to France,
receiving the title of Count from one of
his Chinese victories at Pa li-kao. lu
1860, when the Grand Cross was conferr
ed on him, he could count 42 years of ac
tive service and 28 campaigns.
Admiral Rigalt de Genouilly, the Min
ister of Marine, has been in the naval ser
vice for f'orty’-two years, and commanded
a detachment of inaiines during the siege
of Sebastopol. lu 1860, he etitered the
Senate, and has since distinguished him
self by taking an active part in adminis
trative affairs, and in 1867 was appointed
Minister of Marine. During the illness of
the late Marsha! Niel, he was temporarily
in charge of the War Department. He is
regarded as an able authority’ upon all
mattt rs connected with the naval service,
and as practically conversant with the ira-
jiortant changes introduced during the
last decade.
Pierre Jlay’ne, the Minister of Finance,
has given evidence of great administrative
ability, and was Minister of France from
1845 to 1860. He was previously in the
Constituent and Legislative Assemblies,
and was appointed Minister of Public
01 ks in 1851. He did not occupy a
leading position as adebator, hut his prac
tical speeches were always listened to with
attention.
Baron Jerome David entered the naval
service at an early age, hut afterward
MARTHA WASHINGTON’S
WATCH.
Are we never to be done with the re
lics of departed greatness ? The identi
cal watch which General Washington pre
sented to sweet Martha Custus has turn
ed up at Newbnrg, (State not mentioned)
and is thus advertised :
After the letrothal of George and Mal
tha he presented his lady-love with a
handsome gold watch, which was manu
factured expressly to his order in Lon
don. This watch is now in Nc.« burg, and
an effort fs being m.artc by ihr- rfttzrns to
purchase the interesting old n-lic and de
posit it at Washington’s hcaihjuartcra in
tiiat city. The pi ice asked for it i.- only
81,000. It was given by .Mrs. Washing
ton lo Mrs. Halybnrton, her niece, and the
mother of Judge Janii s D. Ilalyburfon,
of Virginia. 'The saddest part of its Iusn
tory is that it is now thrown on the mar
ket for sale, as one of the results to its
owners, the family’ of Jndg-e 11 ilyburton,
of the fortunes of our late war, which
stripped so many of our Southern coun
trymen of their possessions.
The watch bears the name of its ma
ker, “Barwie, London, No. 743.” It is
of the old-fashioned ‘*bulls-eye” pattern,
r‘duced in thickness to neat lady’s style.
The gold case is inlaid with white enamel
around the edge of the back ami face —
'Fhe watch is in its original case and .ac
companied by its original key 'Llie let
ters of the name “Martha Custis,” are
marked on the dial plate, one letter just
outside of each of tlie fignros indicating
the hours. The watch is now 112 years
old. A (lay or two ago it was “wound
lip,” and ticked as of “ye olden times,”
but it marked the hours slowly’, remind
ing one of the brave old heart heating oa
beyond its threescore and ten.

Goy. Graham then moved for prisoner’s
discharge.
Air. Boyden said : There is no legal
evidence, of any kind, of the prisoner’s
guilt, and, therefore, his discharge is not

In this ca.se the question of the juris
diction of the Court was raised and argued
with much ability by’ Alessrs. AIe:'orkle
and Boyden, counsel for Col. Kiik.
Per Curiam—This Court is conviuc-
en of iis jurisdiction to the full extent of
examining into and investigating the
whole malK'i', and if [impi'r cause for the
arrest and (letenlion of the prisoner he
shown it is the duty of the Court to bind
the prisoner over to the pfoper Court to
answer the charge, which, in this case, is
the l^tate Court.
No evidence of the prisoner’s guilt be
ing offered he was, on motion, discharged.
Tlic case of M. W. Norfleet was next
called, and an exten.sion of time asked, by
the Counsel for Col. Kirk, in which to
produce the evidence, which W’as refused
by the Court. On motion the prisoner
W’as discharged.
A number of cases were then disposed
of in the same way’, the charges against
the prisoners in all of them being a viola
tion of the law of the State or a con.^pira
cy to overthrow the government of the
State.
To the writ in the case of Jas. S Scott
and two or three others, the return was
that writs had previously been issued for
the prisoners by Chief Justice Pearson,
bonds to keep the peace towards all the
good jH'Ojile of the .State, wliicti motion,
and his Honor’s power in the premises, he
argued with his well known ability’.
Gov. Graham also moved for an attach
ment against Col. Kirk tliai he might he
piojieily pi.uislii d for the cruel ami inhu
man treatment of several of lii.s prisoners.
He read the affidavits of iliri’eof the pris
oners as to their Treatment, w'hieli disclos
ed honors seldom witnessed in anv coun
try since the days of Hie inquisition, and
upon said affidavits he foniuled his mo
tion. Tliese affidavits will be published
hereafter. ’I’liis motion was advocated

It flaslied across his mind at once that
the only hope of his life lay in Ids ahiliiyr

from praising Ids anscstors, he admits that
most of them were very ba(i characters.—
’1 hat he was not a bigot is proved by the
following extract from his instructions :—
“Remcmher the following precept tvell,
my dear neplifw, and always say’, as I
do—Tn my kingdom people pray as they
wish, and Jind their salvation as they

On the question (if policy he says, with
refreshing cooliies : “As it has been a-

been necessary to find a word which might
