The Albany Bagtotr, In railing at the Democratic pre) tor not praising tiie President's Message, asserts that the suspension of the writ of aufc Vfrpwi is not declaring martial law. This is 11 late discovery, ami that journ al's reputation must necessarily hero niter 1 established for great, wisdom in tiie interpretation of Uie law. Pre vious to the lime of the utterance of the Iteyirtar to the contrary, it wn a Kttu.il lint that the suspension of the writ of .(. . eorpu was a virtual sus pension of all rulings of civil courts, and the investment within the bands of the miiitarr courts the power of I final doei-w. The astute editor of that learned journal should lie presented w.tli a pairot leather spectacles in com memoration ofserviees reiidertsl the aouulrybylfls remarkable discovery, iiraut will certainly kIto him a msl tion of postmaster "of Alaska, when he learns of Ills powers of coiuprehe.Lsion. -"East Portland Bra. Our 1:astutciHss" sinks into insig nificance behind the alwvejaost Overwhelming display of legal pro fundity and sarcastic wit. Who can estimate the wisdom that is wasted in the Era office wasted from the legal profession ? We open our jawsels, bug out our eyes, and g-a-a-e aud g-a-p-e, at this most astounding paragon this second Daniel come to judge us. We would go into a hole and try to pull the hole in after us, but we want to stay on terra Jtnna long rough to say, very meekly, that the suspension of tiie writ of habeas corpus under the auti-Ku Klux bill, is one thing, and a declaration of martial law another. They are not synonymous in meaning or in practice. Where martial law pre vails, tiie civil law entirely ceases, being supplanted by the military law. Under the operation of the anti-Ku Klux law, the suspension of the writ of huh ns corpus does not prevent the civil law from perform ing its functions, neither ii tiie au thority of the State courts interrupt ed, except in tiie instance wliere a person is arrested by a United States officer for breaking a United .States statute. In such a case, the State courts cannot release him. This is the practical operation of the suspension of the habeat cor put in those counties of South Car olina, as we understand it As to the leatherspectaclcs, Jlr. Era man, if von have worn out all you have had presented to you by your ad miring readers, you may send us along a little "possum." You can easily procure one as they are quite ntfmerous in the Democratic family. We had not thought of the Alaska postoffice. You evidently have had your eye on it, Mr. Era, and if the Democracy ever succeeds again, we hope you may get it. Grease well with "possum" fat, and your chances will be ill the slicker. Mrs. Carrie F. Young delivered a lecture in Dallas on the subject of temperance, ou Thursday of last week, which is spoken of by tiro Eepublkan as interesting and in structive.

The bill intentionally misstate the tacts ot : m;,;iC..s it the duty of these Trustees that history. I he Hepublieau party t0 or select the marshal, clerk, in its platform enirtaii no clause ; m 0tlier officers oftlm town, and intended to shield criminals from U,, jix their salaries. Peing a de justice, or to endorse their cranes, : parturafrotn tiie old manner of in otto indue'.' ita followers to comnitt j rporating towns, t is an expert crimcs. Tha Hepnblicau lrty ment which wiU be brvefl with practice has never endorsed wrongs or crimes committed by its own ad herents, or by the adherents of other pnrf.es. Ye speak ol its go era I wlicy. Crimes have been commit ted under the wing of the Republi can party ; defalcations and steal ings have been icrpetrate.1 by dis honest olTicials, as in the .May case ; but the general policy of the party has been to condemu them, and to bring the guilty ones to the bar of implacable justice. We do not say that thera have not been instances where individual Uepublicans have attempted to shield criminals from justice; but we do most emphatic ally say, that tho policy of the great Republican party of the nation has been and now is to promote honesty ai.d virtue among its officials, and to bring those tu condign punish ment who are guilty of departing trom these, l no "'jusuce, corrup tionand oppressrou whic. existed in the Democratic iarty in 1850, ! rp I were the causes which lead to the formation of the Republican party. Its members were largely derived from tla? mjjral aud religious ele ments of society. Of ministers of the gospel, school-tcacMrs, Presi dents of colleges and moral reform ers generally, including members of the different Protestant churches, a most overwhelming majority be came members of the Republican rty, and aro still enthusiastic members of the same. So much so was this the case, that the Demo- i ,. i .1 . cratic mrtv called them the "(rod i tu . n nn ,1 1; .i and morality part v." The l.cpubb-' , . , , i can party is still largely composed ot , , , . m, 1 tliese same moral elements, i hey constitnte the highest types of hon esty and moral consistency we have in the country. Tliey are conscien tious, and act from moral convic tion. If the Republican party, as a party, was guilty of conniving at crimes, or of perpetrating wrongs against humanity, or sympathizing with, and endeavoring to shield from justice the vilest and most brutal of criminals, as is the policy of the Democracy towards the Ku Klux, this moral element would have turned away from it in dis gust. No party can survive whose cardinal principles are dishonesty and injustice. It must fall by its own weight. Had men in the Re publican party may commit crimes ; the party may err in judgment and commit faults f t but the great heart of the organization throbs in sym pathy with virtue and right, and is earnestly striving to maintain them. Capt. Wm. Kelly, of the Eighth U. S. Cavalry, died at Denver Colo rado Territory, Dec. 28th. He leaves a wife and five children in l"ortland, the oldest of the latter being the wife of Mr. J. D.
