Baldwin Contempt Case.

Baldwin Contempt Case.
In the Uatsd States circuit court last week,
the Rutland Herald reports, Judge Smalley gave
a decision in the case of United States Marshal
Baldwin, charged with contempt Of court, in
refusing to surrender three parties against whom
treason was alleged under a writof habeas corpus,
in violation of the Constitution of the United
States. The history Of the affair has-heretofo1e
appeared The decision of the court was, in
substance, as follows:
Thatthe orders of the War Department, under
which the men against whom treason was al
legged were arrested, were in violation Of the pro-
visions Of the Constitution Of the United States,
and were therefore illegal and void. That if,
under the provisions Of the Constitution the
President of the United States had the power TO
suspend the writ Of habeaS corpus, he could not
delegate that power to his subordinate officers.
That the Constitution made the President
commander in-chief of the military forces Of
the United STATES and that this, with the pro-
vision Of the laws OF 1885, which has been de-
elared to be constitutional, conferred on the
President power to declare martial sw-and
martial law having been declared by the PTesi-
dents proclamation of the 9th of September,
iyS0 fact0 the writ of habeas corpus was now
suspended Therefore, if the said Field was
now produced before the court, he could not be
dischsrged-but be would have to be remsnded
to the custody of the marshal On the LIST of
September, however, when these proceedings
were instituted against the marshal, the writ of
ha5eas corpus was net lawfully suspended, and
it was no justification to him that he sctsd IN
der the orders having been issued without due
authority OF law.
Marshal Baldwin was therefore declared
guilty of contempt of court, aud fined 500,
which fne be paid, declaring that the only in
cautive cf his action had been the desire to do
bis duty to the government faithfully.

fore Judge Magrath, of the Confederate Court :
CONFEDERATE STATES TX PARTEE J. n.
HART-In this case the petitioner was brought
before the court upon q writ Of habeas corpus.
It appears that the petitioner was q private in
the 46th Georgia, and that bis father, who has &
shoe factory in Georgia, applied to the Secretary
Of War for a discharge, ia order to obtain his
assistance IN the factory. Permission was
granted, on condition Of furnishing q substitute.
Tne condition was accepted, and q man named
Jacob Adams put in the place Of The petitioner
rs a substitute. Adams was duly accepted and
mustered into service, and Hart received his dis
charge in due fJIm. Adsms, upon the receipt
Of the substitute fee, and the departure Of Hart,
Immediately deserted. He was arrested ct
Augusta, Georgia, by the sergeant of the com
pany into which he hsd been mustered, brought
back, and is now confined in jail. Colonel Col
q1iit afterwards ordered Hart, the petitioner,
back to bis duty in bis company. The petition
er returned 20 Georgia, and claims his discharge
under hajeoS corpus. The discharge is resisted
on the ground OF the fraud p~rscticed by Adams,
the substitute, IN his representation Of himself.
The petitioner, however, is not charged With
any participation in The alleged fraud.
After hearing the argument, his honor Judge
MaeTath took the case under consideration and
