TT _______ ES _ THE EVENING STAR. ‘WwW. BD. WALLACH, Editer and Proprietor. =——— WASHINGTON CITY: “THURSDAY........NOVEMBER 3, 1564, | wr READING MATTER ON EVERY PAGB, SER OUTSIDE FOR INTERESTING TELE- GRAPHIC AND OTHER MATTE: FROM CITY POINT. ‘The mail steamer Manhattan, Capt. Ryther, arrived at the 6th street wharf this morning Jrom City Point with themails and passengers | and & large number of stragglers and bounty jumpers, who are to be sent to Camp Distriba- tion, near Alexandria. The Manhattan reports no active military operations,and brings no Lewes of importance from the front. On the upward trip the Manhattan touched at Point Lookeut, and took on board twenty- seven rebel officers, ranking from lieutenant to | colonel. They were captured at Winchester in September last,and are under charge of Lieut. Vance and a detachment of the 11th U S. infantry. Five ot these officers are wounded, | and were con veyed from the whart to the Pro- vost Marshal's office in an ambulance. Lieut. Vance also had charge of nine block- ade runners, who were captured near Piney Peint in asimall boat while attempting to ron contraband goods into Virginia. They were eent here to be disposed of by the proper au- thorities. THE NEW YORK ELECTION FRAUDS. ee CONFESSION OF ONE THE PRISONERS. The following is a deposition made by Maryin Jones, Colonel North’s Chief Assistant, and who has been in confinement at the Old Capi- tol : Marvin Jones, being duly sworn by Col. John A. Foster, deposeth as tollows: I have been in the employ of Col. North, in this city, since last spring. I came here on a dispatch from Mr. Seymour, brother of the Governor, and general military sgent of the State. lam a Jaw yer by piotession, but for the last eleven years I bave been acriminal and civil magis- trate of the cily of Albany, when I haye been able to do anything, witn the exception of the time that I have been in the army. [ at first assisted in getting up certain companies for the 26th New York regiment, and atter that regi- ment left for the fleld opened a recruiting office, and for bout three months recruited for | them, at my ownexnense. I finally came on With a body of 10 recruits to Virginia. I stopped in Washington a week or two, and then re- turned and raised or attempted to raise a battery. Some difficulty being in the way, 1 went in as First Lieutenant. The company was battery M, 2d New York artillery. 1 served, I think, about 15 or 15 months im that position. We were stationed near Alexandria. At the last Bull Run battle I was taken pris- | oner. My health being very muchimpaired by imprisonment, Il resigned after beingexchanged | and took an honorable discharge. After being sent for by Mr. Seymour, the firstthing my wite and myself did on arriving here, was to visit the ditierent hospitals about the city. This we | dave continued to do. ly after I got bere and 1 was instructed always to report to Col. North. He (Col. North) never | gave me any snecial directions, but told me to | do what I could find to do, that I knew better | What to do than he did. I used to visit the va- | rious paymasters, hospitals, prisons, city jail, | court house, and everywhere else where- ever a soldier needed any of my | assistance. This was my business until within about two weeks ago, when an | agent came on trom New York to get the yotes | ot tbe New York soldiers. Col. North was ab- sebtat the North atthis time, and he wrote me to assist this gentleman in taking these votes; and I did so. 1 visited but two hospitals ior this purpose, as I soon became discouraged | | j | trom impediments which were thrown in my | _ ‘way—the soldiers refusing to vote owing to an impression which they had got that they were | going to be furlough« 4 tor the purpose of going bome to vote.) had no commission other than | amere tassport showing what my business was. This I obtained after Mr. Mott's Seen, who died very suddenly of xpopiexy. | T'a1s commission afforded me no aid in gettins passes to the fortifications and el-ewhere, | for 1 had previously obtained pusees, roe | newable monthly, permitting me to go any- | where within the Union lines. The two hos- | pitals I visited were Harewood and Judiciary | Square. I got two yotes at Harewood, but | none, I think, at Judiciary Square. Several soldiers came to the office and requested us to goto Fort Reno snd take the votes cf the sol- diers there, but when we reached the fort the | soldiers refused to vote, because they expected | furloughs. I went there three times. I after- wards went to Fort Strong, where I took some twenty or thirty votes. There were two regu- Jar batteries there, but they were not full, I think. I went to several other places, bat we experienced considerable difficulty and delay, Owing to, in many instances, having no person at the office to co with us to swear the | men. 1 took only democratic votes. During | all this time 1 was at the office more than half | the time, | suppose. We had two or three dif- ferent officers. but there were none at the of- fice. One of then was a wounded officer from, I think, the ‘ist regiment of New York. I for- get his name. one else, sending men down to Col. Foster's office, on F street, to be sworn. There was no station at Willard’s Hotel as 1 knowof. During these various occasions of which | hayespoken, | I cannot tell how many soldiers came into the office to vote. 1 know aman sald tobe Mr. | and SHOT; in fact, eversthing pertaining to a Otennel.

He then must fill out the blank affidayit, sign it, and swear to it before one ef the officers above named. After having executed the power of attorney, and sworn to the affidavit on the envelope— which may be either written or printed—he miust fold and inclose the vote or ballot he desires to be cast, together with the power ot attorney, and place them together inside the envelope which has the printed or written affidayit thereon, seal them up carefully, then place this envelope, so sealed, inside another envelope, to be marked on the outside, “Sol- dier’s Vote,” and direct it to the person to whom authority is given by said power ot attorney, to cast for him his vote or ballot, and transmit the same to the person to whom it is directed by mail or otherwise. The officers before whom the affidavits are taken must attach to their signatures their official designa- tions. On the day of election, and between the opening and close of the polls the person re- ceiving it shall deliver such inner envelope to the inspectors of elections ofthe proper elec- tion district, and at the polls, andif the name ot the person signing the ailidayit, on the out. © le of said envelope, shall be found entered pon the register of electors of such election district as « duly qualified voter therein, said envelope shall be by said inspectore publicly opened, and the votes or ballots therein con- tuined shall be deposited and the nameot such absent elector shall be entered upon the poll lists, together with the name of the person delivering the ballot at the polls. If such namé shall rot be found entered upon ibe register of elecwrs of such district where such person claims to reside, such enyelope shall not be opened unless an affidavit be made by ahonseholder of the district, to the effect that he knows that said person whose vote is so offered, is @ residentofsaid district.

Tt 2 accused parties haying been called upon to mlead to the charge and specifications, Mr. G det, one of their counsel, said : in behalf of the defendants I now plead to ;he jurisdiction of this court, denying that it any jurisdiction :—First, over the parties; Second, over the subject matter; third, because it is not within the jurisdiction of the National Government; fourth, that it is a subject over which the National Government has never legislated; fifth, that there is nc law of the ational or Federal Government authorizing the institution of this court, or the trying of S citizen who is not inthe military or naval service of the United States, for any offence, he not being a spy from theenemy. I deny that the Federal tribunals have, in any Tat or manner, by any authority of perpen | g mnaer the Constitution of oe nited States, authority to try persons for crimes com: against the laweot the States. That question has been adjudicated and finally put at rest in numerous decisions of the Circuit Oourt of the United States, and by the decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States. The only act 12 be New York. is a statute of State of citi, the And I claim that under these de By United States tribunals, either olvil or military, Ave no jurisdiction to try the question. Ifan offence has been committed, such as is suggest ed in these charges, that offence is agains! the laws of the State of New York. Ky those laws penalties for their violation are provided: with the mode of trial and punishment uuder the ex- tradition laws of the United States,ifan offender against the laws of the State of New York com- mit an offence, and is found within the United States, he is liable to be taken and carried tothe State of New York for trial. 1 therefore in- sist on behalf of these defendants that this tribunal has no jurisdiction over the subject matter of cn offence against the laws of New York. If an offence has been committed not against the laws of New York, it must ap- pear affirmatively that it is one committed against the statute laws of the United States. It bas been expressly decided, and ruled over and over again, by the Circuit Court and by the Supreme Court of the United States, thar there can be no criminal offeace under the laws ot the United States unless it is made so by statute. Jounsel enlarged upon these points, arguing at very considerable length against the jurts- diction of the court. The Judge Advocate made a forcible reply. He said: Connsel for tne prisoners has ob- jected, as I understand it, to the jurisdiction of the court. not only over the persons but over the subject matter. Iam glad that the broad ground has been taken in this case by the learned connsel that none out military men are amenable to military tribunals, for it ena- bles me to sbow the fallacy of the argument much more easily then if he had taken a more | harrow ground, and apparently more plausa- ble, such as has been taken in the public prints within the last three or four days. If this doctrine be true, then itis true that there 'S nota case whieh has been tried before this | Military Commission in which it had jurisdic- tion. T itis true thata Military Commis- sion has not jurisdiction even over @ spy be- longing to the enemy, tor he certainly is notin the military service of the United States. If Military Cemmission had not such jurisdiction betore the act of Congress of 1-63, that act gave them jurisdiction. I bold that my friend is mistaken as to the law. 1 think the Courts ot the United States have never held that, in time of war.a military tribunal is confined in its jurisdiction to persons in the military or nayal service of the United 5 8. in time of wara great many of the provisions of the Constitution which were intended for time of peace are pro tanfo suspended. It can- not be contended that trial by jury ts a right which can be claimed by a spy. The right of indictment is scarcely one which can be claimed tor a guerrilla. Yet the statute does not specity whether the trial of a guerrilla shall b? by in- diciment and before a jury. The statute, even if it did, could not override the Constitution of the United States, which gives such right in alleases. Butithas been held by the highest Court in the land that in time of war the great mass of the provisions of the Constitution are suspended. The Constitution, or rather the mass of its details, are intended for times of peace; but in time of war the general war powers therein delegated to Congress and to the President take the place of the general pro- visions in times of peace. This view has been sustained in the Dorr case, It has also been sustained in the case of Vailandigham. In 1562, General Burnside, who was then commanding the Department of Ohio—including, among other Western States, the State of Ohio—issued an order forbidding persons to use certain language in reference to the Government, or in reference to the armies then in the field. Clement L. Vallandigham, a prominent citizen of the State of Ohio, chose to make incendiary and treasonable speeches, which General Burnside regarded as caleu- lated to impede tha military efficacy of the United Siates. He accordingly directed that Vallandigbam should be arrested and tried before a military tribunal, and punished, if found guilty. He was so tried, and was found suilty, and sentenced to imprisonment during the war. Clement L. Vallandigham, by his friend Governor Pugh, appealed to the Circuit Court of the United States tor a writ of certio- to enable him to review the powers of the roilitary tribunal before which he had been vi 1. I have the arg:ments in that case filling a jarge y.Jume, The Circnit ( e United States, in refusing to inter- fere with the decision, uses the following lan- guage: The Judge Advocate here quoted at consid- erab’e length from the decision of the court. showing that under the war powers of the President, conferred upon him by the Consti- tmtion, the delegated authority of Gen. Burn- side wis ample in every respect, and fully puted the exercise of his discretion, and cont.uned: vow, itis clearly held in that opinion that e military tribunals have jurisdiction over r persous than those in the military or naval service of the United States. Itis held that the whole question ot discretion is in the hancs ot the President of the United States, and it he exercises it wrongfully, the only rem- impeachment. k, therefore, that nothing is better es- ued than the fact of the jurisdiction of a ry commission Over persons other than tabli miht those in the Army and Navy. It is charged in this particular case that the are guilty of conduct prejudicial to the ry service of the United States in fraud of the electoral rights and duties of the soldiers and cflicers in the service. The Government contends that all persons in the military service of the United States are en- litled te protection against every infringement ot their rights as citizens, and that itis proper- ly the business of the United States to furnish t 1 thatprotection. It cannot be pretended for a moment that the Stateof New York has any power to protect the rights of citizens of New York, while in the Stnte of Alabama. It Ot be contended that a crime committed in 9aMAa against a citizen of the State of New York can be tried by any court in the State of New York. It cannot be contended tnat a per- son who is in the army of the United states in ime of war, is not to be protected by the Gov- ernment, it is charged here that the electoral rights of soldiers in the field have been violated. It is well settled that where an army is in the fteld ini meof war, whatis known as military or ms tial law prevails; and that that law is the ise of the sound discretion of the com- ‘ing officer in the field with such army. n the exercise of such sound discretion, he ses to suspend all civil tribunals, zs is generally done, and substitute in their e Military tribunals, such military trib- uw have all the powers vested in them by th mmanding ollicer, and no more, He can wm: e their powers unlimited, or he can limit Or he can, in his discretion, allow the ¢: courts to continue under his supervision, a his agents; or ke can allow tnem to tT 2, absoluteiy Without any limitation. the present case the crime is charged as hr g been committed in the District of Co- lvo Dia. The crime is not violating an act of ti of New York. It 13 defrauding the 8c Fight to vote, one of his rights as a. iiven. The soldier is absent from his State, is 1 the field where there is no civil tribunal in force to protect his rights. He can appeal to no earthly tribunal except the one inyoked by the commander of the army. This District has been beld to be in the field. It has been th <cene of military action. Within the past few months it has been besieged. At any rate it is held to be and fs ‘tin the fleld” in the tech- n:al sense of that term. Assuming that fact, tl ose three parties ‘in the fleld” havedetraud- ec\ the soldiers of the United States of certain of their rights, and I apprehend that the sim- atement of that shows you that vou have diction. That fact has been held nimost y times as there have been cases oefore 1 y tribunals. Mr. Gillett asked, on account of his health and to examine the authorities, to have tll to morrow to reply to the Judge Advocate. The Judge Advocate intimated that the right to reply did not exist: that the Government, not the accused, had the right to the last “speech. c Alter some discussion the court was cleared for deliberation, and on the doors being re- opened, it was announced that, in considera- tion of the ill health of Mr. Gillet, the court would now adjoura till to-morrow morning at 10 o'clock.
