IMPORTANT DECISION.
N the Editor of the MddisOnian

To the Editor of the Madisoniam:
Ireauest that you will publish The decision OF
the high Court of Appeals of The Common
wealth of Virginia, herewith enclosed, held at
the Capitol in The City Of Richmond, on Mon
day, February 20, 1913, in the case of private
George Cottingham, soldier OF the United
States Amy, who, sometime since, sued for his
discharge from the service on the plea of alien
age. The public service has been put to great
inconvenience in consequence of the vexalious
and numerous wrls of habeas corpus issued
against the officers; and, on this false pretence,
nearly four hundred men have effected their
discharge, after a summary trial, in most cases
luntary enlistment and deliberate contract
with the Government. The detrment 10 the
public service has been seriously felt, less per-
haps from the number so distracted from it, than
the moral influence upon the rank and fle-the
practice tending greatly TO render the men dis
contenled and insnbordinale, &c. &c. 1t is not
a little remarkable that this prelence Of illegal
enlistment was for the first time sci up in the au-
tumn Of 1841 prior 10 which time not soldier,
on the plea Of being foreigner, ever applied
for, or was discharged from the Army by writ
of habeas corpus. The evil will now be etfec
lually abated under the decision of the Court OF
Appeals Of Virginia, and more recently that of
the Supreme Court of the State of New York,
in the case of two other soldiers, which ! also
request you may publish. }.

[Remarks by the editor of the Observer

Our correspondent A. has reviewed the resolution
deuunc atory Of President Tyler, and has shown that
it is Numerically opposed 10 the views of the de-
mocracy Of The country. We more and more
convinced the resolution not well considered.
II seems TO have been going out of the way, and for
some reason motive which has not been fully ex-
planned The proceedings of the Democratic mem
bers Of the Legislature said nothing disrespecfu Of
Mr. Tyler, nor has any other Democratic meeting
The dolngs of which we have seen. The Observer
and every other democratic press in the state, have
defended the President from the assault Of the wings
They have contended and have proved that he has
acted " consistent with the sentiments uniformly
maintained by himscf;n and that the war made upon
him was altogether unjust and indefensible--a war
of aggression the part Of " his whig friends -
Having taken the ground that Mr. Tyler was right
and his assaiants in the wrong, we no cause
why we should depart from it at this time. On the
contrary every day adds proof that we and the
whole Democratic press of the coun ny have occupi-
ed correct position in regard to this controversy !;
and now as heretofore can, in the emphatic Ian
guage of the resolution adopted 10y Democratic
County Convention, appreciate honesty and integ-
rity by whomsoeyer displayed"
