There was very lively time in the commit
tees OF the whole house this afternoon, over the
amendment 10 the miscellaneous appropriation
BILL proposed by Winter Davis prohibiting trial
by court martial of persons not in the military
or naval service, or rebel spies In states or terri
tories where the United States courts are open
Mr.. Davis advocated the amendment in an able
and eloquent speech, as did also Mr.. Dawes. of
Massachusetts. Great excitement prevailed, il
being understood that his was blow at the sec.
Rotary OF war. under whose auspices the present
martial or military commission. had reached its
present overshadowing proportions. Mr.. Farms
worth rather feeby defended the secretary OF
war; but the feeling and opinion of the House
were so msnifestly against him that il was uphill
work
When the amendment was carried in commit
tee there WAS some applause on the floor In
the House this evening there was something of a
struggle over the matter, the yeas and navs be
ing called several times That part of the
amendment which was retroactive was voted
down in the House and as passed it only applies
to fsture trials and arrests II is believed that
the Senate will sgree with the House and the
country that the time has arrived for a return 10
legal trials of parties charged with crime who are
not In tie military or naval service, and that a
long step will thus have been taken towards re-
turn 10 legal and constitutional order of things
