THE TRIAL OF CAPTAIN Wnz.-Thc Wir2
Military Commission met in Washington on
the ODD, again. The motion to quasi
the charges and specifications against Captain
Wirz, made by the defendants counsel, wa,
argued principal by Judge Hughes. who
contended that they were too general and un.
certain and that the offences charged were
cognizable by the civil and not military courts
The Commission overruled the motion. The
prisoner then pleaded not guilty to the charg
es against him.
Colonel Chapman, the Judge Advocate, to-
day suggested that the prisoner be rcmanded
to the Old Capitol and that the Court adjourn
In this the Court without a formal vote ac
guessed. Judge Hughes wished to know Il
what time the Court had adjourned.
Col Chapman replied that he would motif,
counsel of the reassembling of the court
and then requested the witnesses in attendance
! to give information as to where they reside
and instructed them to not leave the city un.
til properly discharged.
Judge Hughes said that he would like t.
be heard.
Colonel Chapman replied that under parla
mentary law there could now be no debate.
Major General Wallace said the court stands
adjourned, consequently there can be no ar
gument.
Judge Hughes--The prisoner having beer
arraignei, we enter our protest against break.
ing up the court or an indefinite adjournment
We ask either for the discharge of the pris
oner or to proceed with the trial.
Major General Wallace repeated that tn
court had adjourned.
During this colloquy the prisoner was re-
moved from the court room by the military
guard.
The adjournment, without day having
been named for the reassembling of the court
took the counsel and spectators by surprise
No reason is as yet known for this course
though there is suspicion merely that tn
charge of conspiracy may be withdrawn.

KErcuuM's son, who has been for some time
filing his fathers place in the transaction OF
business had mysteriously disappeared, after
having mulcted the community to the amount
of over $4,000. 600 He is twenty-five years
of age, and has been married about two OF
three years, and has one child. Before de-
parting he addressed n letter to his father
in which he fully admitted his crime, and ask,
ed him to provide for his wife and child, say,
ing he had provided for himself.
1t is reported that he distracted bonds from
the safe of the firm, but to that amount is

The Fourth National Bank, it is now stated,
is involved by this transaction to the extent
of 1855 900, having negotiated some of the
forged certificates.
The last seen of young KETcurM was in a

fifteen packages of money, thought from q

bought travelling bag.
A card from the President of the Fourth

THE London Times has changed its cores

This new correspondent says puzzle opinion
in the North is in favor of taking the life of
JEFF. Davis and he observes that this opinion
as not so unreasonable as it looks at a
distance. Not only can it be explained, but
justified. 1t docs not arise from party pas
sion, but from the remembrance of deeds
which are more horrible than the English
public can have any idea of, and it is con-
stantly fed by new proofs of barbarity perpe-
trated upon Federal prisoners"
He says further:
"'lt is very easy for you Englishmen to
talk about mercy and forgiveness said lady
talking of this subject. but how would you
have felt toward the Russians if they had
starved and murdered Is. 900 of your soldiers
in one prison I? 1t is this feeling which ex-
tends through every class of society in the
North To condemn it without weighing the
circumstance which produce it, is to do less
than justice to a people who are ready to shake
hands with every Southern man, and to help
him with many. provided he was not leader
among them. As body, the Northern PEG.
pie are impatient to be friends with theSouth
