As every one knew, including Longatreet him-
self, there was little chance of his escaping detraction on
obtaining his recent appointment, and here is an instance
from the Louisville Journal: —" About the year 1855, as
we are informed, Longatreet being a Major in the
United States Army and in command of a military
post on the American side of the Rio Grande,
was indicted in the District Court of the United
States for the Territory of New Mexico for the
crime of smuggling, but when the United States Marshal
went to the fort to execute the process of said Court, the
gates were closed against him, and he had to return with-
out executing it. The Marshal having reported these
facts to the then Governor of the Territory, he made ap-
plication to Gen. Garland, who commanded that military
district, to have Longatreet surrendered to the civil autho-
rities for trial, but as Longstreot was a relative of the
General, he evaded the application of the Governor
and then ordered a court of inquiry to investigate the
matter. This court, composed of his brother officers,
found Longstreet guilty, but the General disapprovbe
f
the finding of the court, and the matter was settlebdour
