mar tial maw tliere is an agreeable prospect of bring ing to a test this assumed right of certain small persr ns made great by the war to declare martial law at their own sw~eet will unhappily the issue cannot just et be made with mr grant but in tbe litiga tion about to ensue between gov palmer of illinois and piegan phill one of mr g.'s chief bashaws may learn to his cost that this is a land where tbe military must keep itcelf subordinate to the civil law under date of the 28ib ult gov palmer instructs the attorney general of illinois to make diligent inquiry into the ct:cuui stances attendant upou the recent unlaw ful killing of mr grosvenor in chicago in order that all therein concerned may be brought to speedy trial as the reader is aware pieman i'liill 6aw fit soon nfter the

phill as prime mover that the guilt of the killing rests as direct ed to be tested by governor palmer the question is whether iu case a fire occur in any city in any ritate,au officer in the u states military service has the right to proclaim martial law therein and blow out peoj le'a brains the answer which will beni-'de to this question by the courts is not doubtful and it is therefore with pleasure as we have said that we behold the ca.^e brought the issue of course is exactly the same in essence as that which is to-day presented in sf>utb caro lina but in illinois an adjudication can iie bad free from those complications which forbid a hope of judicial deliverance 111 the palmetto ritate the question in i iiinois cannot be darkened with an appeal to popular prejudice nor the evil doer shielded under cover of a congressional enactment in the place and in the person the issue in unencumbered and from the well known spirit of gov palmer it can safely he taken for granted that it will be prosecuted with ability and determination to the hiticr end riucb a prosecution ha been long needed and in gov palmer we are happy to recognize the old ideal of a chief magistrate — one who watches over the stale like a wakeful sentry and at an injury to even the hum-blest of his people stands forth to champion their uiiii further still in gov palmer's uiihincliiiii republicanism there appears anomalous as it mayeeem in a democratic paper to say ir something particularly agreeable at this time were he a dem ocrat iii bringing gen sheridan to justice would be looked on as were governor hoffman's efforts at the time of the mili tary iuvasion of this city at the last elections as less au honest abhorrence of military insolence than the p/omptiugs of on re party spirit being a staunch re publican gov palmer can proceed in his vindication of outraged law unhampered by such consideration . from tbe nature oi ilu-ir political persuasion the democrats of illinois will sustain him and as no party cry can be raised to prevent their judgment the republicans of the siate will see that in this plain matter of the civil law versus military aggression they are of the same opinion as their demo cratic fellow citizens from other states gov palmer may also be sure of an equal unanimous support the people at large are weary of all this thrusting forward of the bayonet on every pretext a south ern stale favors oue ticket rather than an other and forthwith the military are bro't into play ; a northern city has loit illicit distilleries and once again tbe i mps are on the
