_ habeas corpus, in the case of Dr. Mudd,
thas been made directly to Chief Justice
Chase who, it is said will deny it, and an
effort will then be made to the entire
Const for his release. It was well understood at the trial of these parties that the
assassination of Lincoln was known‘ to
__ the authorities at Richmond, and that the
_ €onspirators were acting under instructions from the chiefs in. rebellion. So
‘convincing was the evidence that Jolingon issued a proclamation offering large
_ ®ewards for the arrest of Jeff. Davis and
__ others, not because they were rebels, but
‘to use the language of that document, be‘cause the “attrocious murder of the late
President, Abraham Lincoln, was incited,
_eoncerted and proc by Jeff. Davis late
_, @f Richmond”,ete. No*doubt that Johnson
_ . @rieves now that he ever penned such a
document, but it stands upon récord as-a
_ -*estimony of Johnson’s infamy towards
the people in making Davis a guest of the
Se _. Government instead of a prisoner. The
Attorney General gave his opinion that
the assassins could be tried bya military
~—€ourt, and the opinion was founded on the
_. fact that they acted for the Confederacy
_ and destroyed the life of the Commander.
4tnChief of the Union armies, that they
‘Were not civilians and therefore could not
claim trial by jury before a Court. The
8 decided by the Supreme Contt arose
in the rebel States after the end of. the
War and after Johnson had restored the
Tight to issue a writ of habeas corpus, and
from this decision it does not follow that
the conspirators are entitled to a trial by
_ Jury. Ifsuch is the case,.then the Presi_ md afterwards ordered the execution of
_ _Mys. Surratt and othersis in rather an un_ fortunate position. He must either hold
_ that the conspirators, with Jeff. Davis as
their head, were not civilians, and try Da_. ¥is by a military commission or he will be
> guilty of executing Mrs. Surratt, Atzerodt
_ and others without warrant of law, and he
may be punished for the crime. The
"_ Proposition that civilians are entitled to
“trial hy juzy in court cannot be denied and
‘If theconspirators were of this-class they
‘are entitled to new trials. It therefore remains for Johnson to prove the complicity
___ of the rebel leaders in the assassination—
_ to, bring Jefferson Davis before @ military
\ tribunal for the assassination of Lincoln,
_ \@ud'show upon what facts he based the
\ Charges made in the proclamation of May
\24, 1865, or he must admit that the ‘conowe were unlawfully executed.

The really needy do not seek the street
to beg, but endure the cold and hunger
in silence. Such should be sought out by
the charitable and cared for. We are led
to urge some action in the organization of
a society by a case which-has been brought
toour notice by the city officers. On
Christmas night, while in nearly all the
homes of ourcity the happy ones gathered
round the fireside blessed with the comforts of life, a poor widow who has three
children depending upon. her, baked her
last loaf of bread and divided it among the
little ones. .On Wednesday last the famil y
was without food or wood, and they have
not sufficient clothing to keep out the cold
and damp in seasonssuch as this. Money
given in this case might not be properly
used, but by a society bread and clothing
. could be supplied and afamily saved from
starvation. The woman we allude to is
Mrs. Findley, whose house was burned and
nearly all the furniture and clothing destroyed some time sinee, and whose husband died shortly afier, leaving her in
poverty. Their wants were supplied on
Wednesday, but they still have immediate and pressing wants. There are no
doubt other cases of suffering, and they
can all be provided for by our citizens
without the burden being~felt by. any single one,by an Aid Society. They have in
Marysville a society organized iby Rev. Mr.
Hill, which has been in a a for several years, and by it hundreds of poor have
been fed and clothed. Let the Christians of this city go to work and they will
be aided by the entire community.

CHINAMAN Snot anv Roppep.—Yesterday afternoon, says the Grass Valley
Union of the 26th, a Chinaman named
Ah Gam who is employed as a cook at the
North Star mine, while on his way to
Grass Valley, was stopped on the road
a short distance this side of the mine, by
a highwayman, who witha cocked pistol
in hand ordered Ah Gam to disgorge
whatever of money or valuables he had
about him. The Chinaman, not under‘standing much of thé’ English language,
probably did not fully comprehend the
ontlaw’s modest demand and hesitated. At
this juncture, the pistol was discharged,
the ball passing through Ah Gam’s coat,
inflictinga flesh wound. The highwayman
ing from himrforty dollars in coin and a
gold ring valued at ten dollars. Ah Gam
was then permitted to depart, and made
his way to Grass Valley as fast as he
could.

many would be glad to help them, bat
they cannot be found out, Last winter a
family was found near this city in a starving condition; a subscription was raised,
but too late, for two or three children had
died from sicknessand exposure. before aid
was given. A well organized society, with
& committee to visit and find out the real
condition of sufferers, would be the means
of giving prompt aid to'the needy and at
the same time prevent imposition. It is
true that “he that giveth to the poor lendeth to the Lord,” and the charitable are
repaid a thousand fold in the happiness
that results from the consciousness of hav‘ing shut out from the homes of their fellow creatures, hunger and cold. The man
who has any heart instinctively secks
his pocket. when he knows that his money
will aid them. The people of this city are
know of the wants of
striking him on his right foreafm, and .
