Gov. Curtin on Military arrests
Secretary Of State.

Gov. Curtin has thought it necessary tc
call the Legislatures attention to the subject
OF military arrests without trial, and recon.
menus the passage Of joint resolution by
the Legislature calling upon Congress to
iegislate upon the subject, SO that person,
accused shall receive a fair and i,nnart;o,
triaa by jury as soon as arrested. This Is
the purPort of a telegraphic synopsis of the
governors message. Though the Cover
nor admits the necessity of such arrests in
some emergencies in which our Government
mHy be placed, he does not believe thot tbe
circumstances of the country, now especially
IN the loyal States, require them to be
made
Gov. Curtin is strong supporter Of the
ADMINISTRATION, and in taking the course he
mas no doubt reflects the views of the nno,,lo
OF pennsylvania on this subject. lie NO
doubt takes the right view of the question
o. arbitrary arrests No one will question
the fact that there have been MANY irnnron-
per arrests and equally improper releases
without charges, that, in ti,aes of peace would
have subjected this or any other Govern
meat to the charge of usurpation and tvran-
ny, but IN times Of rebellion and war the
political and civil condition is entirely

readers to the Proclamation Of Gov. Can
nom Our Legislature has been called upon
TO give ald to the suffering families of our
soldiers in the field, as other loyal States
have done, but this is not in their line OF
business. They can spend a thousand dol
lars to find out who caused us to have a
peaceful election last fall; they can squan-
DER the States money by sitting themselves
In ldIeness; they can pass a bill to turn
Delaware into gambling shop, (as thew
doubtless will do) but to aid the destitute
families of our absent soldiers is a thino
TOO near akin to patriotism for them to
be guilty Of We are pleased therefore
to lind that our Governor has recon-
mcnded the loyal and humane citizens Of

the laudable work. In com
pIance with the recommendation. as will be
