girls, crime so shocking TO every sense
of humanity. We learn that the elder
Major was formerly an engineer on the
Hudson River railroad. He was dis
charged from the road about a year ago,
for abandoning his train below Pough-
keepsie, and leaving the fireman to run
it through to New York. He has bad
reputation for morals, having been
caught in bed, not long since, with an
other mans wife, in Poughkeepsie, by
the husband of the woman. The son is
known as bounty jumper, and fellow
of low habits and base association s.
They deny the crime of which thes are
charged; but the circumstances are all
against them, and the entire community
believe them guilty. Nothing. can be
said against the character of the girls

In view of all the facts in this case, it
does appear to me that l have no power
to comply with your request, and that
ifI had such power its exercise would be
impolitic aud unwise.
But supposing it be true that the au-
thority of the military tribunals of the
United States is exclusive, then the
accused have through the ordinary course
of judicial proceedings a perfect defense
for their prosecution by the State of
Michigan. They can plead this special.
ly, or in some way bring it before the
court aud if the position is sound their
release is assured.
Should it de feared, as intimated in
your communication, that in this case
a fair and impartial trial cannot be had
before the civil tribunal, | would say
that very liberal provisions have been
made under our statutes in reference to
the selection ofjurors; the court in which
the trial is had may grant new trial;
and after conviction, the defendants, if
they consider themselves aggrieved by
any opinion, direction of judgment Of
the court, may bring error.
Declining, therefore, to take any part
in this matter,
am very respectfully, yours, etc,
