Mr. Bonner added that those who knew General Grant personally required no disclaimer; but tho public, whose minds were liable to be warped by thc determined anti persistent efforts to injure him, would bc at once satisfied and quieted by such a statement. The President replied In thc following letter: WASHINGTON, I). C., October 18. liohert Bonner, Esq: DEAII SIR-Your favor ofthc 11th Instantia received. I have never thought of contradict? ing statements or Insinuations made against me by irresponsible parties, as thosc.as alluded to in your letter; but as you have written to mc on thc subject, in so kind a.spirit, I will say t hat I hod no more to do with thc late gold excitement In New York City than yourself, or any other Innocent party, except that I ordered thc sale of gold to break thc ring en? gaged, as I thought, In a most disreputable transaction.

HaU, In a lecture last week be? fore' the Polytechnic branch of the American Institute, on the cause of auroral lights, took Issue wit h Professor Loomis and other scient? ists who attribute theso phenomena ta electri? cal action. Br. 'Hull's theory lo that the boreal display ls produced by the rays of tho sun, which are reflected from clouds surrounding tho pole to the leo and snow of the Arct.c re? gions, and thonco again reflected to thc clouds, and so back ana forth until lt comos within our range of vision. The glancing and flashing or the columns or light, bo nolds. arc caused by thc mellon or the clouds, an exact correspondence being traceable, the Doctor contends, between tho movements or tho light and those-of tho clonas. In confirmation of lils 'theory tho speaker cited the cases of similar displays or auroral light In the cast Just before sunrise, and'ia the west Just after sunset, when thorn aro hanks of clouds visible from -which tho sun's rays are evidently reflected. The arches or bows often seen in tho north are also easily explained according to this hypothesis, while by the electrical theory they aro' inexplicable. Tho deflection of tho needle and other mag? netic effects, sometimes observed durinu an auroral display, aro Attributed by Dr. Hau to the fact that the state or the atmosphere most favorable for these successive rcflootJons of sunlight fram tho pdle ls also favorable for tho action or the electrical forces which jeroduco the magnetic disturbances. -Tho procession at Louisville on Thursday last In honoref tho convention was on amore extensive scale than any ever before witnessed In Louisville, u* not In tho West. All the va? rious branches of mercantile and manufacturing trades of the city were represented. It Js es? timated that thc expense incurred by Chis grand display was not less than 176,000.

Tho Principien Involve il-Tho Court Threatened-What PresidentGrant lu Tohl will be hi* Duty in a Certain Contingency. [ Kilo.M AN OCCASIONAL. COK lt KS ?'ON I >K NT. ] .WASUINUTON, October 10. Tltc lending topic or interest lu tho capital Just now ls thc case ex ?yarle Ycrgcr, which has Just been argued before the Supreme Court-a case familiar to the people of thc South, and to thc whole country, inasmuch as lt Involves thc power of thc Federal Government to authorize, even by law, thc trial of a civilian by military commis? sion in time or peaoc, and in a Stato and district where civil courts are open. ? . w_ * lt ls unnecessary to go into tho details of tho case. Sutllcc ll to say that Mr. Verger was tried by u military commission nt Jackson, Mississippi, Jar an offence against the. laws of that State, .found guilty, mid sentenced to HU der death. Ills counsel, however, brought thc case before thc Chlcr Justice or tho United States, ou a motion ror a hiibeas corpus, several months ngo, when, by stipulation between them and tue Attorney-Uebo ral or thc United States, lt war agreed that the motion should be argued at the present term or the court, and in tho meantime thc sentence im? posed by thc military commission should bc sus? pended. Mr. Ycrgcr, however, ls still in prison, and his case ls upon thc docket or tho highest Ju? dicial tribunal In tho country, ? here tho power ol tho law-making department or tho government to authorize thc trial of civilians in any other way than that pointed out by thc constitution, is to bc finally, and, I hope, forever determined. It will he remembered that thc power claimed lu this instance ls round In one or more or thc numerous "Reconstruction'- nets,. so-called, which have been passed by Congress since the close or thc war, and as those acts rest upon an assumed authority on thc part ol tho Federal Government, lo render tho civil power In thc som ii subordinate and inferior to thc military, thc opinion ortho court in this case will be or thc most vital importance in Judicially determining so great a question. ir lt shall bo adjudged that Congress has nc power to establish military government and mill tory law, in any State or Stntcs or the Union, lr time of peace, thc bottom will bc knocked out bl tho "reconstruction" tiib; and sooner or later 'every act or that body, relating to lite govern ment or thc Southern States, will shs re the Banu fate, and thc country will again bc restored tc Its runner system or free government, sustnlnci and strengthened by a constitutional recognitlor ol the reserved rights or thc several States. It requires no argument to show the illegality and unconstitutionality or the trial or civilian! by military tribunals in places where civil conrti are open. The Constitution or the United State: is so clear and explicit on this subject, that he wir would attempt to controvert lt must either be sc down as a knave or a foo:. It may, however, bc Interesting to your readers In forming an opinion as to the probable result o thc caso referred to above, to mention asimila and a very celebrated caso which, ls still f resit ii thc minds or the people, and which, on nccoun or the great principie Involved, may with trutl be styled thc most Important caso over dctci mined by thc Supreme Court of the United State; Lambdln P. Milligan, a citizen or the Unite States, and a resident and citizen of the State c Indiana, was arrested on tho 3d day of" Octobei .?B04, nt hts home in said State, by order or ll re vt MnJor-fJcnernl liovey, military commander of til District of indiana, and. by tho same authoiit confined ln-n-mtiitnry 'prison ot ot near indians polls, thc capital of the State. 'On tho 21st da of thc same month, he was placed on trial bcfoi a "military commission" convened at Indlnnapi Hs, by order of the sold general, upon thc follov lng Charges preferred by Major burnett, JUdg Advocate of the Northwestern Military Dopar ment, namely: 1. Conspiracy against thc Government or tli inned States. ii. Alfording old and comfort to thc rebel against the authority or thc United States. ii. Inciting insurrection. 4. Disloyal practices; and, 5. violation or the laws or war. Without reciting the details of this trial, lt 1 sufficient to say that Milligan Was found guilt on all thc charges, and sentenced to suffer dent by hanging, and this sentence having been a] proved, he was ordered tobe executed on Frida: thc 10th or May, 1805. On thc letti or that same May, 1865, Mllllga flied his petition ror a habeas corpus in the Cl cult Court or the United States ror tho mst rh or Indiana. Arter setting forth tho facts coi nected with his arrest and trial by "mlUtoi commission," the findings, sentence, approvi thereof, Ac, he thon set forth thc additional rai that while he was held and detained, as airead mentioned, in military custody, (and more tho twenty days alter his arrest,) a grand Jury f< the Circuit Court of thc United States for ti District of Indiana, was convened at indianap Its, his said place or confinement, and duly en panelled, charged and sworn tor said dlstrlc held Rs sittings, and finally adjourned wlthoi having round any bill or Indictment, or made ar presentment whatever against him; that at i time had he been In tho military scrvlco of tl United States, or In any way connected with tl land, or naval force, or the militia In actual sc vice, Ac At the hearing of Uie petition In the ci rm Court thc opinions of the Judges were divided? tho following questions, namely: I.

The ?pinion or the Coi thereon was -delivered the following terso, a may te found in 4th -Wallace, commencing page 107. Theoptrdonus a vory<elaborate and oxhaustl one, reviewing the whole ?ase, and emphatlca declaring that Congress .lias no power toiautb Ize the trial of civilians by military commtsalc in places whore civil 'tribunals aro open, a where they xbsght bc .regularly and fairly tr according to abe constitution and )aws?f t United States and of the State wherein she leged offen oe (WAS committed. In proceeding, tho court sold: ' "Every trial involves the exercise of ijrtglc power: and frau what source did tho mutt commission that tried him (Milligan) .Oer their authority? -Cert ali ly no part of- t ludlclal power of the country was conten on them, teessMe the constitution expies vests lt ' In ono Snpremo Court anti a Inrcrlor courts ns Congress may from time time ordsln-and.-establish fand lt ls not preter ed that the commission WM a eoun ordained ? established by Congress.

It IF to be noted that the recent dlscuai if the caso was confined, by order of the Judi o the question of jurisdiction. Should this c er be decided favorably for the petitioner,' y next question to conic ?ip win bc ou thc merits, which must uoccssnrily Involve the \ullillly of thc Reconstruction ads, partially ut least. With the very organization of the court at the mercy of Om irres?, thore ls a well-grounded fear perhaps that the case will he disposed of upon some tech? nical .point. The executive and legislative branches of tho government being lu manifest and unchecked, conspiracy against thc vital prin? ciples of thc constitution* lt would perhaps be ex? pect tug too much, in the opinion of .some, to eoij clude that the orher;:Kilterry- powerless branch Would cuter into d contest which wonld probably end In Its own."reconstructl?n," according to cur? rent Radical usnrpat loris.

In apprehension that the writ will not only be granted, but.the petitioner turned over ty thc courts upon grounds "touching thc powers Of Congress,' Forney's Chronicle, the rccognlzcC organ of thc administration here, tints threat? ens : ' "If, as Is now apprehended, tho majority of tho Judges should assume.
