The Daily Dispatch: December 17, 1860., [Electronic resource], End of the Burch divorce case — remarkable public Manifestations. (search)
The day wound up with a serenade by the band, and then the villagers gathered and had an oyster supper. Before the close of the supper, an honorary committee of the first ladies and gentlemen of the village was appointed to escort Mrs. Burch to Wheaton. The next morning at 9 o'clock, Mrs. Burch left Napierville, escorted by twenty carriages loaded down with ladies and gentlemen, for Wheaton. All along the road the scene was a perfect ovation. At Wheaton, the crowd bade "the little womanWheaton. All along the road the scene was a perfect ovation. At Wheaton, the crowd bade "the little woman" good bye and God speed, and left with shouts of joy which could be heard long after they had gone. Among the congratulatory messages, Mr. Beck with, the counsel of Mrs. Burch, received the following from Albany this morning:--Tell Mrs. Burch that the home of her childhood is jubilant to day. Albany sends greeting to Chicago. Hallelujah! The scene at the Tremont House last evening, on the receipt of the news, almost beggars description, and was only equalled by the excitement at the t

nd both sides take up arms, this is called a civil war. Some writers confine this term to a just instruction against their sovereign, to distinguish that lawful resistance from rebellion which is open and resistance. "But what appellation will they give to a war which arises in a republic form by two factions, or in a monarchy between two competitors for the crown? Custom appropriates the term civil war to every war between the members of our and the same political society." And Wheaton, in his great work on international law, says, on page 365, "a civil war between the different members of the same society is what Grotius calls a mixed war.--It is, according to him, public on the side of the established Government, and private on the part of the people restating its authority. But the general usage of nations such a war titling the contending parties to all the rights, of general against each other, and even as respects neutral nations." Judge Chase, of the Superio

er. The Government at Martinique, be says refused to give the Sumter coal, but allowed her to come to St. Pierro, where she obtained a supply from English merchants. The Sumter had been received with courtesy at the seat of Government, and Capt. Palmer discovered, to use his own language, that "this farce of non-recognition of the Confederate flag by France and England, is played out." He had a correspondence with the Governor, the result of which was be was referred to a paragraph of Wheaton's International Law, to the effect that no belligerent could depart from port until twenty-four hours after another had left. The Sumter was at that time in port, and the Iroquois obliged to anchor one marine league from shore. The majority of the citizens of Port Royal were in favor of the Sumter, and therefore anxious for her escape. Being French, they sympathized with Louisiana, to which State they thought the Sumter belonged. Throughout his proceedings Captain Palmer was apprehe

the independence of the Southern Confederacy? We say without delay. That sooner or later it will have to be recognized is inevitable. The question is, whether it should not be done at once? We are left to our free choice in the matter. Wheaton, Cooke, Vattel and all international jurists, have clearly laid this down. Wheaton affirms that, in the case of the revolt of a province, of an empire or State, the first thing for foreign States to do is to allow belligerent rights to both parWheaton affirms that, in the case of the revolt of a province, of an empire or State, the first thing for foreign States to do is to allow belligerent rights to both parties in the conflict. In the next place, a foreign Government may, if it pleases, recognize the independence of the revolted people, or enter into treaties of commerce or amicable relations with it. The mere recognition cannot justly be regarded by the other belligerent party as an occasion of war. The period of recognition is left to the option of the foreign States. But repeated precedents — such cases as the revolt of the Belgians, the South Americans, the Greeks, the Swiss Cantons,--have

Parliament would create a revolution there in forty eight, hours, among all classes of people: a power which Napoleon never dared to exercise upon his imperial throne, and one which the French people would never submit to if attempted over the people of France?-- [Cheers] But there is no such military power under the institutions of the United States. There are martial rights, laws of war, but well known and well recognized, laws written of in Grotious, in Vatlel, in Puffendorf, in our own Wheaton, and in our own Kent, and nowhere there recorded as giving to any nominal commander of an army any such authority as the President attempts to exercise, not only over the people at large, but over this Constitution of the United States. I do not hesitate to say, cost what it may, the use of such power is an arbitrary and exercise of illegal and unconditional power. [Tremendous cheering.] I will not cite a hundred authorities that I could cite in Latin, in French, and in German, under th

In politics, international law, and political economy, have appeared John Stuart Mills's work on "Representative Government," which is anti slavery in sentiment; Mr. Spence's admirable essay on the American Question; a work on International Law, by Travers Twiss, D.

he defendant should fall or refuse to do this, an attachment would be issued against him, and he would be arrested and committed to jail until he should comply with the law. According to our practice, this is one of the most effectual means of enforcing the payment of judgments, and is frequently resorted to; but the plaintiff in this suit cannot avail himself of this remedy against Claiborne, because he is an officer in the military service of the Confederate States, and as such is exempt from arrest under civil process. The remedy of Isaacs is not, therefore, complete and adequate at law — irreparable injury to him might be the consequence of refusing to grant an injunction; it is, in my opinion the only complete and effectual remedy, and for that reason ought to be granted. In conclusion, the learned Judge referred to the following authorities: Caborn et ats vs. Bank of United States--Wheaton, 74; 24 Rob Price co. 233, 236 Crenshaw vs. Slate River Company--6 Rand., 215.

States by being mustered into their service, and thereby passing under the exclusive control of the Confederate authorities, losing the character of State militia, and becoming, for the term of their enlistment, a part of the Confederate army, for as was said by the Supreme Court in Houston vs. Moore, after a detachment of militia have been called forth and have entered into the service of the Confederate States, the authority of the General Government over such detachment is exclusive. 5 Wheaton, 17. It was to similar proclamations thereafter, calling for troops to be, in like manner, turned over to the exclusive control of the Confederate States, that the Act of February 6 alone applied. By the act of the Provisional Congress of the Confederate States, passed March 6, 1863, it is provided that the militia, when called into service under that act, or under any other act, may be compelled to serve for a term of six months after they shall be mustered into service. Thus, accor

ropose to enter upon a discussion touching that species of pillaging, but desires to acquaint General Gillmore formally that more than one plantation was pillaged, buildings burned, and crops destroyed — acts which were not rendered necessary by any military exigency. He shows, in a manner satisfactory to himself, that this military exigency did not exist, and then enters upon a lengthy elementary treatise on the laws of nations governing the conduct of belligerents, quoting Vattel and Wheaton to sustain his propositions, and to define the rights of the victor as well in civil as national wars. The exercise of the right of eminent domain after conquered is admitted, and its boundaries defined. Then he takes up the question of the employment of negroes, and quotes Napoleon and "Abbott"--a new authority — to show the "atrocious consequences which ever resulted in the employment of a merciless, servile race as soldiers; " that Napoleon refused to employ the serfs in his campai
