THE EVENING STAR. | W. D. WALLAGCH, Editor and Proprietor. | WASHINGTON CITY: FRIDAY............NOVEMBER 4, 1864. i { | RP READING MATTER ON EVERY PAGE BRE OUTSIDE FOR INTERESTING TELE. | @RAPHIC AND OTHER MATTER. FROM CITY POINT. | The mail steamer Daniel Webster, Captain | Charles Deering, arrived here this morning at 10o0’clock, from City Point. The Webster ‘was compelled to anchor for an hour or two | down river this morning, the fog being so thick | that it was impossible for her to see her way through. The Webster brought no news from the front, all being quiet there up to the time she left yesterday morning. TELEGRAPHIC NEWS. SALES “a. THE PIRATE TALLAHASSEE. PHILADELPHIA, Noy. 1 —The report of the Pirate Tallahassee being off Delaware Bay, | and of having destroyed several vessels at | anchor, came through pilots, but is not gener- ally believed. Persons who left Lewes, Delaware, yester- day morning, say that there can be no truth in the reported robbery of that town. | Inquiries are now being made of the nearest | telegraph stations. [SECOND DISPATCH. } PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 4.—Passengers trom | (spe May, who arrived this morning, report | that nothing was known there about the Talla- bassee being at the break water. Definite confirmation will probably be re- cotet by the New York boat, due at one | o'clock. (THIRD DISPATCH.] PHILADELPYIA, Nov. 4.—The Evening Bul- detin says: Gloucester Smith, Engineer of the Light House district, who left Lewes ats o'clock yesterday morning, states that at that | time there bad been no report there of the | Pirate Tallahassee being at the Breix water, | which is in sight from Lewes. He totally discredits the rumor. Moreover, | the United States gunboat Sassacns, donuble- ender, was in Lewes harbor, having arrived | there on Wednesday night. If any pirate na been in the neighborhood she would have been | after her at once. The whole story is undoubtedly a canard. et ah Ec Si lastevening’s New York | ost: The loan market is moderately active at 7 per cent. There is, however, abundance of | capital seeking temporary investment, and the brokers are easily supplied. Commercial bills ass slowly, at cag for first-class, and at 1val2 ‘or lower grades. The report is current that the Treasury De- partment is about to withdraw their deposits now in the national banks It is expected by some that this course will lead toa stringency in the loan market and cause a fall in gold and stocks. Others think that as throughout the country the supply of capital is in excess of the de- mands of business, the balance owing to the Government by the national banks can be paid off without any derangement of their ordinary business. The stock merket opened dull, became heavy, atterwards recovering, and closing with an upward tendency. The Commercial Advertiser says | Try Goods Auctions —Everybody is holding off till after election, and business at the auction houses has become nominal. Messrs. Haggerty é& Co. bad a sale of ribbons and millinery goods, the importation of Messrs. Soleliac Freres. The offering, as usnal with the importations of this firm, was very fine, and notwithstanding the general dullness in the market, prices were Bdvanced slightly over former sales, and most | of the goods were duplicated. Messrs. Wil- merding, Hoguet & Co. had a special sale of dress goods. An assorted lot of scarfs, neck | ties, Ince veils, and children’s hose, offered at | the opening of the sale, realized good prizes, and in most instances were duplicated. The bidding for the dress goods, however, was very | moderate, and prices ruled about the same as | euring the week. i @?-The Chicago Tribune states that, in a speech at Monmonth, Illinois, a few days ago, dar. Vallandigham interpreted the meaning of | the second resolution of the Chicago plattorm, | ef which be was the author. He said the | Democracy were in favor of a reconstruction ofthe Union on the basis of State rights. and hence they excluded from the platform the | idea of & restoration of the Union on the ‘‘basis of the Federal Union of the States,” and in- serted in lieu thereot, the ‘ basis of the Federal States." The difference of phrase of course embraced a8 difference of idea, which the speaker explained as follows: * We are op- | posed to centralization of power in one govern- ment, extending from the Atlantic to the Paci- fic, which would be one of the worst des- poticms cn eart BF TheSt. Louis Union of Saturday last, | states that it was currently reported in the city | yesterday that General Rosecrans had been | ordered to report at Washington, to be assigned to a command inthe Army of the Potomac. Therumor mentioned no one as his successor in command of this department. General Piessanton would naturally succeed him, un- ul some other commander was appointed. The name ot General Banks is mentioned in well- antormed circies as the probable commander of the department. | SZ The Albany Evening Journal hasreasor | to believe that a box with over two hundredot | the Donohue forged votes reached the city week. The Journal states that the name of | the party who received it is known, and heand | those who received the tickets will be ‘watched.

Jones. —— Reeyes, and —— Schofield, charged with fraud upon the New York soldiers yote. was resumed. Messrs. R. H. Gil- | let and John D. McPherson appeared as counsel for the defendants. On the opening ef the Court— Mr. Gillet, counsel for the accused, said = On yesterday 1t was suggested by the Judge Adyo- cate that there was something in whatisknown by the bar as the Dorr case which had a bi ing in this case. My familiarity with that case, from the day of its argument and its decision to the present time, enables me tosay that it has no applicability, and that there is nothing in it haying any bearing whatever on any of the matters legitimately before this tribunal. That was a case of an entirely different charac- ter in every respect. Tnat grew out ofa con troversy in the Stateof Rhode Island in rela- tion to a Constitution, and under which Con- stitution the people of Rhode Island lived ‘The Supreme Court decided, and with very great propriety, that it was not its province to determine the political questions arising in that State as to which was the State govern- ment. If that case had presented, as a matter of fact, the issues between the two constitu- tions—which was the one under which the people of that State lived—it would have been a question of fact to be tried by a jury, and could not be determined as a question of law by thecourt. And therefore the court would not determine that question as a question of law, but would take the political action of the Federal Government as indicating which was the trne government. Hence the decision was in accordance with the action of President Ty- Jer, that the old government was the true goy- ernment. As to anything in relation to tue question of the suspension of the Constitution ot the United States, or anything of that kind, it is not in the case. The second case cited by the Judge Advocate was that of Vallandigham. Hew thatcan have any bearing on this case is incomprehensible to me. In the State of Ohio, the Major General in commend had issued a military order forbid- ding certain things to be done in that State, and among them the commission of acts that should ‘weaken the military power, and tend to dimin- ish the ability of the Government to wield, to combine, and to use that power in crushing the rebellion. That order, according to the under- standing of the officer issuing it, was, for the time being, and for the place, a law of the land. That order was violated, as it was held, b. Mr. Vailandigham. He was said to hayi bis discussions, used Jangnage and enforced thoughts tending to prevent the easy and appropriate combination of the military power in Qhio, and the wielding of it against the enemies. That was charged against him. He was brought before a tribunal, tried, convicted andsentenced. The propriety of all these things has nothing to do with the present case, His friends were not satistied with the decision, and made an application for a cer- tiorari. The Judge Adyocate.—For a writ of habeas corpus. Mr. Gillet.—That was first. On such ap)li- cation the merits of the case were not drawn in question; and when the District Judge de- cided that he had no authority toissue that process there was theend ot his legitimate func- tions. Whatever he may have said in opinion be- yond that was not a judicial decision, and can not be quoted as authority, although it may be quoted as a reasonable argument. That case came to the Supreme Court, on application for a certiorari, to bring the whole case before that Court for review. The reportof it is nor yet published, although copies can be had at the clerk’s office. The Supreme Court said, and with very great propriety, “We are only an appellate tribunal, reviewing the judg- ment of courts indicated in the statute by way of review, and this is not among the classot cases which we have a righit to review. Therefore we eau notissue a certio- rari for the purpose of bringing it before us. We have nothing to do with the merits of the case. We only say that we have no jurisdiction to grant what you, Mr. Pugh, asi shail be done im the cise.” The Court further said that “these military tribunals, in their proceeding are not subject to be reviewed by the civil courts; for they are not so organized, and their proceedings cannot come before the civil courts Their road t a finality is to the head of the Executive Government. We have nothing to do with it” Now, there certainly is a fair and final disposition of this matter, showing that it has no «pplication whatever to the present case. I hope my colieague and myself will be able, | throughout the discussion of this case. so to present it, 80 to consider and argue it, that no exception can be taken to the course of it, either by the tribunal which is to try the cases or bythe public. The great difficulty on the | present oc ion is this: ‘The public mind is in that fey h and excited state that almost everybody thinks it is necessary to go outside of the issnes, and to be dealing blows which are supposed to have some effect on other subject matiers God forbid that that should ever oc- cur before a tribunal which has charge of the liberties, lives, and properties of men. I trust that it will not be the misfortune, through ex- citement or otherwise, of the counsel employed in this detense to go outside in relation to any thing. Many suggestions may be made, some have been made, which, before other tribunals and in other places where discussion of such questions is proper, might be fairly issues, aud might be discussed. These issues have 4 significance Another tribunal, and not here, and they will not be presented. When I question one ot the leading propositions of my learned adversary 1 doit, not with reference to the outside trial of these issues, and not expecting that this tri- bunal will consider that the case depends upon them, That suggestion was this:—That our Constitution was @ constitution of peace. Thank God itis. I trust there is nota man in this room who would not hazard his all, in- cluding his life. to sustain that Constitution as one of peace. On the question ot whether any of its provisions are inoperative during the war Ishall not enter into adiscisstor, and merely say that I do not assent to that propo- sition, But I decline to ciscuss it, because it has no epplicability to this case. The extent of the suspension of anyth‘ng has nothing to do with the issues now before us. The Judge Advocate assured the court that it was the duty of the United States to protect the soldiers from frauds of electioneering agents, and to protect them in all their rights. it is right that the Government should pro- tect the soldier in ail his rights, so far as those Tights spring trom his relation to the Govern- ment as a soldier. When the soldier and the Government enter into the contract by which he serves, it is understood that the Govern- ment will protect the soldier in his rights, so feaius they relate to the discharge of his duty asasoldier. And I trust that duty will al- ways be performed by the Government. That is not this question. The soldier does not yore by virtue of his relations and stauding az a soldier. It is another relation; one connected with another Government; one springmg out of the local constitutions of the States that give Dim the right. [tis a citizen right. not a soldier right. And when his rights as a citizen of a State, righ's resulting from the constitution of the State, are assailed, then those executing that constitution are called upon to protect those rights. The United States have no authority, in war orin peace, none under any law, written or oral, to attempt to supervise and control these rights. The United States pass laws to guard the soldier from the destruction of the tippling shop. They pass laws to prevent their being led into temptation to sell their uniforms, their arms and ammunition. A variety of laws are passed, and these should be enforced. I trust they are and ever will bs enforced. But, where the State of New York, ss a soyereign Polstical community, passes a law in these richts, does it pass one which confers @ Tight that the General Government has any control over? Does it not pass ic with refer- ence to the political rights arising under State fostamions g Ay a nok a i. ow, in relation there iy: dier may ‘have his riche, aed & pike. ore ‘But, will tt besaid that the: in the States t am?) has’a right to step* Sow on hie Fights Federal Gove! clause of the’ before j in and enforce these righ’ nd that by mili tary power? The soldier has a right to make a will, like every other citizen. Suppose some scoundrel imposes on that soldier and gets him to signa Will entirely differen: from what he really intended—suppose he is made to disin- berit his Own iseme and to devise his property to one wholly unworthy —is it nota wrong on his rights, & violation of them!

Who in this broad Jand has ever supposed that the Federal Government wasin- stituted for the purpose of attending to the minutias of affairs of the cilizens of the diller- ent States ! Counsel elaborated on these points, and had read by bis associate, Mr. McPherson, author- ities in support of his views. In conclusion he said: It may be that I am too earnest in this. I have not designed to be tooearnest. But I can- | not help feeling, as a lover of my ceuntry, as | one desiring the success of our institutions and | the triumph of our armies, of one who is ready to sacrifice his all for the restoration of the old flag, and to have it wave over the whole Union,—I cannot but feel a zeal and earnest- ness i apy case where I suppose that the course indicated by my adversary is sure to | produce wrong and evil, instead of good and | effectual consequences in favor of the coun try The Judge Advocate replied. He said: May it please the Commission: I baye not had time to reduce what I want to say into as little space as I should desire, and as I should have done if I had hada little more tame to condense the remarks which | intend to make in regard to the question of jurisdiction. As I remembered it, and as it was reported in this morning’s paper, I supposed it to have been gravely argued before this commission that there was no jurisdiction in & military tribunal except that which had been given by positive statute, or which, by the very words of, if not the inference trom, the Constitution, can be shown to exist. Butif I understood the coun- sel correctly to-day, he has practically aban- doned the position of yesterday, and now bolds that there are a great many crimes over which the court may have jurisdiction of parties who are notin the nayalor military seryice of the United States, Bat he would have you con- fine them, as well as I can understand his ar- gument, to cases in the immediate front of the army, when before the enemy. Before going into the general question I will simply allude to what he has stated in regard to the case of Vallandigham. The Circuit Court of the United States for the Southern Circuit of Ohio refused to grant the wit of ha- beas corpus which was applied for, for two reasons. Either would have been sufficient; either was suflicient. The law was probably well settled in both, But the Court chose to give two reasons—the first, that it would uot exercise an improper use of its jurisdiction; and, second, that that was not the proper tr al before which to bring the case on 4 supposed appeal. The Conrt chose to give both reasons. And this Commission has no right tosay that one reason is not just as elaborate and just as much the opinion of the Court as the other. Hither one was sufficient. The Sapreme Court of the United States practically de, cided, as my friend has stated. (and which, in my opinion, affirms the power of the court, thatithad no appellate power in itself—that the President was the last resort, the last court of appeals Whatis this but saying that the war power claimed does reside in the Presi- cent of the United States’ Whatis it but at- firming the whole ot my argument! If the President of the United States is the court of last resort, why is itso! By virtue ot his war power. By virtue of his doing as he pleases, in his seund discretion, in time ot war. Counsel declines to discuss the questio n of thesuspension of certain articles of the constitu- tion as not being relative to this question, and yet, from beginning to end, he recurs to them as bearing on the case. I shall therefore give # few reasons why. in my mind, this court has jurisdiction, under the Constitution of the Uni- ted States, and why the jurisdiction claimed by me for this court is strictly in accordance with the Constitution, carrying out its provisions. The Judge Advocate argued ably and elab- orately the law of the cause, and concluded as follo We do not know. noris it any of our busine whether the State ot New York is going ¢ assume the powers of Congress, and legislate ast crimes committed outside of the State. -As yet ithas nct done so. But whether it had or not, and whether, if it attempted to legislate tor all Europe, it would haye that power, is not the subject of discussion. The point is this: we have & great army in the field. (ur sol diers are now in the presence of the enemy The Government has promised to protect those soldiers in their rights A man in the District of Columbia, which is held to be sin the field,” has attempred to per- petrate a stupendous fraud upon them; and, with unblushing effrontery, we are met in the very threshold of the case wit! the plea that this is not a military offence, but merely an offence against the State of New York. If it be not a@ military offence, if it be not an offence against the soldier as a soldier, what is it? nd if it be an offence against the soldier. why Ot a military offence ? The court was cleared for deliberation, and, en the doors being reopened, it was announced taat the plea against the jurisdiction of tha court was overruled. The Judge Advocate then moved that ment should be pronounced upon the a judg- censed, com the ground that the plea againstthe juris- dicuon was in the nature of a demurrer, and thar the demurrer having beeen overruled, the prisoners had no right to plead further—the demurrer being an admis-ion of the charge. Mr. Gillett argued against the motion. The court was cleared tor deliberation, and doors being reopened it was announced he motion was denied. ‘The accused were then called upon to piead, and they severally pleaded « not guilty charge and specifications. Mr. McPherson de to the 1anded a separate trial ich of the accused. The Judge Advocate objected, and argued st the umed right The court was cleared for deliberation, and ‘ter the doors were reopened, it was an- sounced that the claim for aseparate trial was Not sustained Mr. McPherson then called upon the Judge Advocate to specify against which of the 1 ners he proceeded as principals, and agaiy which as accessories The Judge Advocate resisted the claim, aud the court sustamed him in his position. And then, to enable the counsel toconfer with clients and procure their wities the took & recess U1LS p.m. FROM THE FRONT. Heavy Rains There.

They have posses. sion of a fine, large house, on the Heights of Georgetown. which is used as an asylum and school: the latter in charge of Miss Maria Mann, of Mass.., and it is charged that she has acted with undue harshness to the childre and bas not been jadicious in infitcting pun- ishment—discarding the use of the red. but depriving them of their food, as a punishment. It is also charged that she has allowed parties to take children from the institution without the consent of the proper anthorities, and that one child so taken out remains unaccounted for. Itisalso stated that she cannot agree with any matron who may be appointed and itis alleged that four matrons have within a year past. been compelled to resign on account of being unable to get on with ber. A meeting of the association was heid on Tuesday last, Mrs. Gangewar in the chair. and Mr. G. E.H. Day. secretary pro tem.
