law authorizing drafted men to buy out by
paying $500. But the House refused to

Rejected. Next, they proposed that when
man paid his $500 he should be liable to
the next draft instead of being exempted
for three years. Rejected, 70 to 40. These
are remarkable votes, in body containing

THE TRIAL or THE FORCERs.

The Democratic papers complain because
Gov. Seymours agents 10 collect votes in the
army are subjected TO trial by military tribunal.
But how else would they have them tried ?
Whatever ofenSe they committed has been COM
mitted in Baltimore, and they cannot, there
fore. be tried BIZ the laws OF New-York, unless
it can be proved that they conspired within this
State to commit the ofense elsewhere. But in
any case they cannot be tried here for the actual
ofiense committed outside the State. Nor can
they be tried by the civil tribunals Of Maryland,
for they have committed no oIense against the
laws Of Maryland. A olamor against trial by a
military tribunal IS, therefore, clamor against
any trial at Gil, which is just what the Dem
ocratic papers want. On the other hand, there
can be no doubt that they ought TO be amenable
to military tribunals. They went within the
lines Of the army TO perpetrate their frauds,
and By permission of the military authorities
visited the forts and regiments. They became
while there amenable 10 military law, like the
suffers and the myriads Of camp followers.
Moreover, their acts were directly calculated to
excite trouble in the army by cheating the
soldiers in their vote. Gov. Seymour knows all
this, and in his commission to Judge Allen and
associates he is careful not to take the ground
that the men could not be tried by military
tribunal, though he seems to hint al it.
