PHYSICIANS AS WITNEssEs.-We, Yesterday
met one of our city physicians in a most una
miable mood. He had been kept from his bust
ness all day by summons TO attend at the
Criminal Court as a witness, and was not called
10 the stand even then, but require to be in at
tendance again to-day, or for an indefinite Pc
Rod to come lie declared, with emphasis, that.
hereafter, he would never attend a case where
there was the slightest ground for belief that
MS dong 80 would make him a witness be-
fore Court. We have heard other practi-
TONERS make the same complaints and aver.
ment IN regard to loss of time as witnesses be-
lore Court. In fact the grievance is felt to be
so serious by the profession that in many cases
III Is extremely difficult to obtain medical Aid
when the testimony of the attending physician
Is likely TO be called for before Court 1t was
the practice Of the late District Attorney Kew,
we believe, TO make an exception, as far as DOS
sible, with medical witnesses, putting them on
the stand AT set times, with as little delay as
might be, and thus enabling them to fulfil
pressing professional engagements. This ex-
ception in their favor would seem to be a very
proper one.

TREATIES WITH INDIAN TRIBES

The Secretary of the Interior this morning
received communication from Major Gen
Curtis, OF the Indian Commission, dated Fort
Suliey, October Goth, shows that treaties have
been made with the Chiefs Of the Minnecon-
goes, Two Kettles, Brutes, Yanktorias, Sans
Alc, Blackfoot, Sioux, and one Papas tribes of
Indians. The substance of the treaties stipu-
late perpetual peace, our right of way through
their country, the protection of our people
passing, &c. The Commission having agreed
to give about $50 a family per annum, and
about S25 lodge to those who enter
upon farming-all payments to be made in
goods, under the direction of the Secretary OF
the Interior.
The tribes at these treaties were not as fully
represented as could be desired, but they all
promised to bring a much larger, if not full
representative body to meet the commission
next spring. The commissioners, however,
have heard of more Indians en- route to meet
them, and expect to get more signers to the
treaties already made, and possibly treaties
with more of the tribes.
Major General Curtis has written to the
Secretary Of War concerning the tribes who
have made treaties with the commission, urging
the necessity of giving due notice to command
ing officers, so that they may Cooperate with
the commissioners.

From New Orleans.

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. s.-Information from
Mississippi states that Gov. Humphreys had
called upon the people Of that State to organ.
iZe companies to aid the civil authorities in
maintaining order, and cautions them against
expressing the freedmen.
Trade between Mexico and Texas in increas-
ing, and promises to be very large.
Col. Fullerton issued circular reminding
freedmen that the time is approaching to make
contracts for labor for another year.
Well known planters have adopted plan to
get freedmen for picking cotton with success,
paying each one every night for the cotton
picked during the day. This is important, as
many of the cotton fields of Texas are un-
picked, the freedmen refusing to work.
The total vote of the city is two-thirds Of that
polled before the war. The county parishes
so far, give the Democratic ticket the FREEDOM
nancy. The conservatives are nowhere. The
negroes, though unauthorized, opened polls in
different parts of the city.

APPEAL FOR W1RZ.

Yesterday, Mr.. Schade, counsel for Wirz,
visited the Executive Mansion, and laid be-
fore the President the affidavits of five Union
soldiers who were prisoners at Andersonville,
for the purpose Of impeaching the testimony
OF an important witness for the prosecution,
relative to Virus shooting prisoners under his
charge.
MIR. Schade had an interview with the Presl
dent in reference to having the sentence COM
muted TO Imprisonment, at noon to day, which
lasted nearly one hour. President johnson
listened attentIvely to Mr.. Schade's represen-
tations, the latter saying that the health of the
prisoner was bad, that he must soon die and
that If taken 10 the scaffold with his arm (the
wound having broken out afresh) in the con-
dition that 1t is now he would likely faint. The
President listened patiently. and said that he
would do the best he could for WirZ, and
would give the application due consideration
From this remark of the President, doubtless
arose the rumor afioat to-day that the sentence
would be commuted.

THE BRIsCOE Gaze

The sentence in the case Of Brevet Brigadier
General Joseph G. Briscoe, Colonel Of the 199th
Pennsylvania Volunteers, tried by the Court
Martial Of which Major General @. s. Greene
was President, upon the charges Of .'larceny,
in violation of Act of Congress approved March
Sd, 1868, and conduct to the prejudice of good
order and military discipline" has just been
promulgated from the War Department.
The Court sentenced the accused {" to be
cashiered and dishonorably dismissed the
United States service, and be forever disqual-
flied from holding of any Office of honor, trust,
or profit under the United States Government;
that he forfeit all pay and allowances now due
or which may become due to him, and to be
confined at hard labor, at such place Of sonfine-
ment as the Secretary of War may direct for
and during the term of five years"
The Secretary of War having submitted the
proceedings of the court in this case TO the
President, the findings and sentence were ap-
proved and confirmed, but in view of the high
testimonial to the former good character and
gallantry of Gen. Briscoe, by Gems. Meade,
Hancock, Stoneman, Gibbons, Terry and
Sickles, so much of the sentence as imposes
confinement was RENTED.
Gen. Briscoe was this morning dismissed the
military service and released from the Old
Capitol prison, where he has been confined
sin his arrest.

THE VETERAN RESERVES

Captain Woodruff. of General Augar's Staff,
has concluded the inspection of the Veteran
Reserve Corps, with the exception of a few de-
tached companies, preparatory to mastering
out such desire to leave the service. Of 400
men on duty about Washington but 100 signi.
fed a wish to remain in the service. But very
few of the officers desire to be mustered out, thus
leaving an insufficient number of privates to
furnish an orderly to each officer. The rolls
are now being made out, and the Corps will be
mustered out in a few days. Some Of the ON
GERS will probably be retained. It is under.
stood that the troops Of General Hancock's Isl
Corps will supply the places vacated by the
Veteran Reserves.
