important Decision.

Judge Meredith Yesterday decided hGbeas corpus
case involving questions of general interest to the
country, of which, in consequence OF the demand upon
our space we can present only brief summary. William
and Charles P Hartman, formerly of the District of
Columbia enlisted in the Confederate service, in which
they served twelve months and ninety days and then
claimed their discharge upon the ground of being non
residents Of the Confederate States. Col TallaferrO,
the enrolling officer for the Charlottesville district
ceded the validity of their claim and they furnish
ed with exemption papers. They were however subse-
quenty arrested BY order Of the Colonel Of the regi
ment in which they had served and held to military SER
vice under the Conscript Act
The petitioners applied for and obtained writ of ha-
Jqs corpus for the purpose of asceranng whether they
were liable to military duty residents" of the Con-
federacy The case was ably and deliberately argued be-
fore Judge Meredith By Hon. shelton F. Leake for the
petitioners and T. H. Aylett, Esq, Z. $ District At
torney for the War Department. .-.
The Judge decided that the petitioners who were born
in Alexandria ddnot lose their domieil in Virginia by
the removal Of their father to Washington to accept
clershp under the government and that BY returning
10 the dOmic Of their origin and by taking up arms
fight battles, they had furnished the highest and
most conclusive evidence Of their voluntary assumption
of their rights citizens OF Virginia The Judge also
EXPRESSED the opinion that every citizen Of Maryland aud
every foreigner who had once enlisted in our armies
'nattered not for how brief period 6t subject
for CONSUMPTION, il between the ages Of eighteen and
iorty aud he expressed the hope that the War Depart
nent would once cOnscribe all persons thus liable.
The language OF the cOnscrpt act (said Judge Mere
dith) was exceedingly broad. Il evidently COntempla
ted the eOnscrptOn Of al residents in the Coniede
rate States between the specified years. Whether they
were residents in the pursuit Of pleasure, money or
what not they clearly liable, under the broad Ian
~ fLa "A h. oil II, al.o
decided that the War Department could disregard all
exemptions which had been given by enrolling officers
where they bad been improperly given.
TIE petitioners, the Judge decided, not held in
custody at this time by the proper Official, aud we're
therefore entitled TO their discharge but it strictly
legitimate and right for the proper enrolling officer for
the Abemare district 10 enrol them cOnScrpts under
the provision Of the act Of April 10, 1869.
We learn that no appeal will be taken from this i'm
pOrtant decision.
