ba5- We see from correspondence between
Adjt- Gen'l Fowle and Brig -Gen. &. A. McCraw,
that it has not been judiciuly determined 10 this
State, that ''Mtia officers have no right to arrest
deserters." The Adjt-Gen'l. says "there vas no
decision as to the authority Of the Governor" He
further says that the decision whatever it was,
made when Judges were not aware of the
act of the Legislature comforting upon the Gov
ernor, during the war, the power to call upon the
Militia for local and temporary service Such a
law it seems was enacted by the Legislature, but
has not yet been published.
The Adjt-Genl. is clear that this law conters
upon the Governor the rig bit to employ the militia
for the arrest Of deserters and be thereupon does
issue his orders to that effect, and requires the
militia officers to exert themselves to the utmost
to enforce the law, and keep the ranks of the
army full
Gen. Fowle publishes in connection with this
correspondence an explanatory letter from Chief
Justice Pearson. It is unfortunate that this
matter, which has so long troubled the people
should not have been sooner cleared up.
1t is still more fortunate, however, that at this
particular juncure, the order of the Governor aas
proved to be founded upon law, and that the
militia officers of the State are now certain that
they have acted upon legal Observation-Disclosures
