MILITARY W. CIVIL TRIBUNALS.

Judge BOND oil MIryland-Wlucly KNOWN h'
one of the most determined Radicals Of that
State-has charged the Grand Jury Of Baltimore
that whoever shall hereafter arrest civilians IN
that State and try them by CourtsMartial will
be liable to indictment. This doctrine recall,
memorable instance in British jurisprudence
of collision between a Court-Martial and q
court legal, whereof the outlines are as follows:
In the year l743, Lieut.. Frye Of the British
marines, serving on board the Oxford Tlan-oi'
war, was brought to oourt-martial at Port
Royal, in Jamaica, by the captain Of the ship,
for having disobeyed his orders in refusing ia
assist another lieutenant to carry an officer
prisoner on board the ship. Lieut.. Frye had
insisted upon the captain giving the order in
writing. The evidence produced against him Of
the court-martial were the dispositions of parcel
of illiterate people, reduced to writing several
days before he was brought to trial. which per.
sons were entirely unknown TO him, no having
never, to his knowledge, seen or heard their
names before; and, upon his Directing to this
evidence, he was browbeaten and overruled.
On the charge being thus proved he was SEN
fenced to fifteen years. imprisonment, and
rendered forever incapable Of serving His Maj,
esty. He was brought home, and his case,
after being laid before the Privy Council ap-
pearing in justifable light, his late Majesty
was graciously pleased to remit the punishment
and to order him to be released.
Some time afterward. he brought an ection
in the Court Of Common Pleas against Sir Chal.
oner Ogle, who had sat as President at the court.
martial, and obtained verdict against him for
f1,00O damages, it having been proved that he
had been kept fourteen months in close confne.
ment before he was brought to trial. The Judge,
moreover informed him that he was at liberty
to bring his action against any Of the members
of the said cOurtmartal he could meet with.
The subsequent steps in this case are still more
remarkable.
Upon application made by Lieut.. Frye, Sir
John Wlles, Lord Chicf-Justice of the Com.
mon Pleas, issued his writ Of capias against
Rcar-Admiral Mayne and Captain Reutone 1.-TWO
of the members who had sat on the above court
martiaD on the 18th day of May, Tag, while
Mayne presided, and Capt. Reu-
tone sat as smember Of court-martial, at
Deptford for the trial of Vce-Admiral Lestock.
They were both arrested at the breaking up of
the Court in consequence of the above writ.
The arrest of the President highly offended all
the members of the Court, They met twice on
the subject, resenting highly what they deemed
an insult and drew up certain resolutions, in
which they expressed themselves with some de.
gree of acrmony against the Lord Chief-Jus.
tce; and the Judge-Advocate was to deliver
them to the Board Of Admiralty. in order to

Major General ]. D. Cox.

The nominee for Governor was born
October 27, 1928, and is of the good old
Puritan stock, his parents being natives
of the United States, and his mother a
lineal descendant Of Elder VIM. Brews.
ter, Of the Mayhower. His father was
for many years master builder in the
city Of New York, and the boyhood and
youth of Gen. Cox was passed in that
city. In l845, when barely 10 years of
age, he emigrated to Ohio.
Major General Cox spent the earlier
years Of his life in Northern Ohio; teach
ing school, while quite young, at Fulton,
in Stark County. He graduated at
Oberlin College. and, after the necessary
|prepations, devoted himself to the prac-
tice of law at Warren, Trumbull County.
Like many of our public men of to-day,
he was of the number who braved the
discouragements Of poverty in youth,
and, by energy and good character, won
high positions of trust and responsibility.
From his labors in the cause of our COM
mon schools--with Andrews, Leggett,
Harvey, Sprague and White-from his
Experience at the bar, he went to the
State Senate, in which body he soon
became an acknowledged leader. From
these labors, at the beginning of the war,
he went into the work of organizing
and sending to the field the troops that,
in those early days, were rushing through
our State to the borders. In the Office
Of Governor Dennison, and that of the
Adjutant General, be labored. night and
day, until the work was shaped into some
thing like system.
The field was then the place for
thorough business men, and he was early

of our early battles. West Virginia.
Fully realizing that the work before us
was not to be ended in day, he devoted
himself to the study of military text
books. and to that careful study of the
country and the movements Of the en-
emy that has since given him the repu-
tation of being one Of the best topo-
grapbers, and closest observer of events,
in the army. His fine disciplined mind
soon thoroughly mastered the details and
routine of military discipline, and the
scientific principles of Mshan and other
West Point textbooks. A year had not
passed before he was as thorough mas

Presidents Proclamation.

BY the President Of the United States
A Proclamation:
WHEREAS, By the proclamations of the
President Of the 18th and 9th of April,
1861, blockade Of certain ports of the
United States was set on foot; but, where.
as, the reasons for that measure have
ceased to exist. Now. therefore, be il
known that I, Andrew Johnson, Presi.
dent Of the United States, do hereby de-
clare and proclaim the blockade aforesaid
to be rescinded as to all the ports west Of
the Mississippi River, which ports will
be open to foreign commerce on the first
of July next. on the terms and conditions
set forth in my proclamation of the 22d
OF May last.
1t is to be understood. however that
the blockade thus rescinded, was an in-
ternational measure, for the purpose of
protecting the sovereign rights of the
United States. The greater or less
subversion of the civil authority, in the
region to which it applied and the i'm,
practicability Of at once restoring that in
due efficiency. may. for season, make
it advisable to employ the army and navy
of the United States toward carrying the
laws into effect, wherever such employ
ment may be necessary.
In testimony whereof. l have hereunto
set my hand. and caused the seal Of
the United States to be affixed.
Done at the City of Washington. this
23d day ofJune, in the year
of our Lord 1865, and of the
u. S.. Independence of the United
States of America the eighty,

ton, the only volunteer officer in so high
a command. His reputation and we'll

more than any other, that our citizen

and thorough military precision that

the drill and careful study ola four years
course at West Point. Unlike those,

only at the request Of field Generals, who
certainly were proper judges.
have followed thus closely the career
of this man. that the good people Of
Ohio may know for whom many friends
ask the high gift now at their disposal.
If four years of faithful and valuable SER
vice in this great war are TO win for our
officers and men any preferences, now is
most assuredly the proper time to accord
such preierments. As against those who
have none whatever, to the position Of
Governor of our State, tie friends of
Major General Cox ask that he bs given
a proof of our State pride and gratitude.
They ask it not as favor to him, but
for the army he represents. They have
had proof of his accomplishments as
gentleman and his abilities as an officer,
and ask that our Executive be again rep
resented by one whose private character
is as far above reproach as his abilities
for the position are beyond questioning.
