ceeding, protest against this summary
action of the Commission, upon the
ground that many Of the most import
ant Witnesses for the Government, nam
ed in the protest, were not examined,
and that he had good reasons for believ-
ing that, by these witnesses, he could
prove material facts in the case, his
knowledge of their testimony being
based upon their sfidavits, already in
his possession. Notwithstanding the
protest of the Judge Advocate, the Com
mission proceeded to make its findings,
and adjourned. IS
ssThis action of the Commission was
Unauthorized, and without precedent
1t is the province of a court to sit in
Judgment, and to investigate, with pa
thence and dignity, the evidence brought
before it; but not to reject, without
consideration, the material testimony
upon which its Judgment should be
based. The Commission also committed
q grave error in attaching no criminality
othe findings upon some of the speci
fcations and parts of specifications of
which the accused was proved guilty by
the limited amount of testimony which
it eondescended to permit the Judge
Advocate to introduce.
1.-THE second finding shows that the
accused, in time of rebellion, or during
the unsettled state of society immediS
ately following it, and in the midst of a
VIGOROUSLY disloyal assembly, denounced
the President and the commander of the
armies of the nation as an usurper, a
liar, and a man meaner than Judas Is
CARROT, and declared also that there was
no semblance of civil government in the
land, but usurpation; and that the laws
were void and not binding-and yet the
Court attach no criminality to it. Thus,
officers of the army, comprising a mill
tary tribunal, and holding commissions
from the commander of the armies OF
the United States, see him SO DETAINED,
his authority set at naught, his useful
ness impaired, and yet find nothing in
all this to condemn.
The Commission evidently failed to
appreciate the grave nature of the case
brought before it, and to manifest due
respect for the dignity and interest Of
the Government it represented; and in
stead of being an instrument of justice
and the guardian of the military author
ity it was appointed to uphold, by its ar
bitrary and inconsiderate action, has
enabled Emerson Etheridge to succeed
in his attempt to do as much injury as
possible to the Government, without
subjecting himself to personal harm.
Although, the Court has failed to do
justice, and the evidence and find
ings clearly establish the guilt Of
the accused, yet, as the present
state of society in West Tennes-
see does not require that further &C.
ton should be taken in this case, or fur
Their restraint placed npon the accused,
the Court viii not be reconvened for the
reconsideration Of its findings upon the
evidence before it, and Emerson Ether
idge will be Immediately released from
his parole and set at liberty.

dent, is hereby dissolved.

Cholera Specifics.

Editors journal:
A few days since I observed COM
munication in your paper, from an emil
nent English Professor, on the Cholera.
He recommends the use of ice as a
remedy, but very discreetly warns the
public against the danger of congestion
of the lungs or heart. This is precisely
the very serious objection to the use of
ice. At one time ice was popular
remedy in diptheria, but congestion of
the lungs, and other deleterious results,
so often followed, causing death where
other means seldom, if ever, failed, it's
use has fallen into disrepute. Ice ap-
Piled to any part of the body, changes
the blood too suddenly from hot to cold,
reduces too rapidly the arterial circula-
tion,, and when reaction comes, the
heart, or lungs are too often unable to
stand the shock. Ice is the opposite ex-
IRENE of fire, and extremes are always
dangerous masters.
Ice even applied to the head, in acute
diseases of that organ, must be used
with great caution, and whenever APP

powerful stimulants to the extremltles,
is generally attended with no good to
the patient, but often injury. There
are far more natural, less dangerous,
and more certain remedies, and for the
benefit of the public will state some OF
them:
The first thing to be done, then, is to
dismiss all fear of its approach. do
not mean, by this, that like a stu Did,
hoorish fool, one should dismiss all
thought of prudent and cautious con-

when it is sounded over the country that
an epidemic or contagion is coming, the
fears of the people reach delirium, and
on the report of the first case in town,

In 1882, in the city of Montreal, a
