CASE OF CADET DRAKE.

Our paper Of Saturday last contained state
ment of Mr. SENATOR MERRicK, Of Maryland
and Mr. Stanley, a member Of the House Of Rep
yesantatives from the State Of North Carolina, de.
failing the circumstances Of their application to
the Secretary Of War for permission to inspect
the papers in the case Of CADET DRAxE. The
application was refused on the ground o. q rule,
which Mr. Stanley gives conclusive proof that the
Secretary Of War had not considered binding
when the Editors Of the Globe called on him to
break it. |; was only the other day that we
heard Of the refusal by the Secretary Of Stale to
certify TO the official character Of judicial officer,
whose commission was recorded in his Depart
ment, and Of his ultimately consenting only on
conditions which in one or more similar cases he
hadno exactcd.
The subjoincd correspondence shows that a
sentence oil court.maral was reversed by for.
mer Secretary OF war, and that orc of the grounds
OF reversal was that the court had admitted negro
testimony. 1t is remarkable that the Adminis.ra.
ton has not yet produced single case to prove
the alleged usage in military trials, in S,avehold.
ing States, 10 receive negro testimony, and tina,
the usage, SO far as developed is the other way.

DEAR SIR: In a conversation with YOU few
days since, you stated that you had disapprovcd
the decision Of a court MARTA! in the case Of Cade
C;ittenden on two gGoundS--
l. That negro testimony could in no case be
admitted.
?. That still less could it be admitted at second
hand or rs heafsay.
see by the letter Of Mr.. POinsctt published
in the Globe Of Friday, 25,h OF August, that there
was n case Of Mr.. Drake, where the decision of a
court martial was set aside because the S.crela
ryoi War, in his cwn language, declared that
hearsay evidence could not be admitted. Is this
the case Of which yen spoke, and do you rcnem.
Der the case of Mr.. Drakr?
viii you, my dear sir, be good enough to state
in whiting the case, as you remember it, OF which
we were speaking, and the true grounds OF yolr
decision! Your l!i?ud,

DEAR Sir: It has been stated that you were

whether or not the statement referred to is correct
