The Etberidre Trial.

We find in the Cairo Times the following
proceedings Of the Court on the second day
Of the trial Of Emers n Etheridge:
Court met at 9 o'clock a. m, pursuant 10
adjournment, and, after the fettlement of
some minor questions as to forms Of pro-
ceedings, and duties Of accused, Mr.. Ether
idge proceeded TO read his plea in denial of
the jurisdiction Of the Court. THIS dlcu-
ment set forth the following points, to-Wit
let That he was a citizen Of Tennessee,
aud had never been in the military or ma
val service either Of the United States or of
the lnfederate States.
3 That at the time Of the alleged oifenses
the United States was st peace with all the
world.
Sd. That The rebellion which had been in
existence was then suppressed and ended,
and had been officially proclaimed TO be
ended By the PRECEDENT Of she United S ates,
and by Major seneral Thomas, commanding
this Department, in general orders
n. That the ofienses alleged were com
mitted, il committed at all, after the date
Of these procl smat'ons and orders.
b. That since the LIST day Of July ac-
cused has not been amenable 20 any mill
tary authority, but if he has b, en guilty of
an ofienscs. has been liable TO trial by civil
Courts and an impartial jury. and only on
indictment Of a Grand Jury.
9th. That said supposed ofienses, alleged
in the charges, are triable alone by jury,
and equitable only in the State Of Ten
ncssee.
9TH. That never having been in the mil
itary or naval service Of the United States,
he can be legally tried only accord .ng 10
the laws Of Tennessee.
Sth. That for two years and more the
Federal Court has been holding regular
sessions in Tennessee, aud that places where
HE ofiensrs are alleged 10 have been com
mitted, are within one OF the judicial Dis
tricts Of said Court.
9th. That at the time Of his alleged Of
Tense, judicial tribunals Of the State OF
Tennessee were in unOpposed operation,
aud be is amenable only 10 them, and n I
10 this commission aud, therefore, prays
that he may be discharged.
To this plea the Judge Advocate entered a
replication, setting forth that Major General
Thomss, commanding, was the best judge
% the extent Of their authority and jur,s-
diction, and had the right 10 establish the
commission, and sssigu to II duties, and IN
asmuch as he had established this commits
sion, and ordered il TO try Emcrson
Etheridge, the plea Of the accused ought not
10 be allowed.
Mr.. Etheridge asked leave to enter de-
murrer TO this replication, which was refused
| by the Court. The Court was cleared for
deliberation, and, upon reopeRing, il was
announced that the plea Of the accused was
overruled.
Mr.. Ethsridge filed an exception TO the
| ruling Of the Court the charge and spocif-
cations were then read.

Rights Of Non-Reporting Drafted

ing opinion;
81 have been asked to-day my opinion q
10 the right Of what is called non-reporting
drafted men 20 vote The qualifications re-
quired by cur State Constitutions are the
ooly ones that judges Of elections sre 20 look
TO, Congress cannot add 30 them nor d.
minish them. In that instrument no dis
reimbursement for any such cause is found.
and no Judge Of an election will be justified
IN excluding from the right to vote any per
son beng otherwise qualified and not ex-
eluded BY the very terms Of the Constitu-
ton. Il would be absurd to expect an eiee
ton board 70 stop the progress Of the polls
to try fact like thst Of az illegal drsft nd
failure to report. They have no iurisSi.-
ton Of any such question, there 6eing no
Acknowledgement arising in the conStit5tion
for any such cause"
Every honest Judge viii render a similar
decision in regard to auy law Of Congress
