nineteenth century, can ever be made accept
able to the American mind.
If none but the guilty could be accused, then
no trial could be necessary-execution should
follow accusation.
It Is almost as necessary that the public
should have undoubted faith In the purity of
criminal justice, as it Is that justice should in
fact be administered with integrity.
Grave doubts, TO say the least, exist In the
minds of intelligent men as to the constitu-
tional right of the recent military commissions
at Washington to sit in judgment upon the
persons now on trial for their lives before that
tribunal. Thoughtful men feel aggrieved that
such q commission should be established in this
rec country when the war is over, and when
the common law courts are open and accessi-
bic to administer justice according to law,
without fear or favor.
What remedy exists? None whatever, ex-
cept through the power of public sentiment.
As citizens OF this free country, having an
interest in its prosperity and good name, we
may, as desire to do, in all courtesy and
kindness, and with all proper respect express
our disapYrobation of this course 10 our rulers
at Washington.
The unanimity with which the leading press
OF our land has condemned this mode OF trial
ought to be gratifying to every patriot.
Every citizen is interested in the preserva-
ton in their purity, of the institutions of his
country, and you, gentlemen, may make such
presentment on this subject, if any, as your
Judgment shall dictate.

Protest Against Military Trials.

A few days ago the telegraph stated that
Judge Bono, of Baltimore, had charged
grand jury that persons sitting on military
commissions for the trial of citizens of
Maryland not connected with the army or
navy are liable to indictment The papers
bring the charge in full, and we make the
following interesting extract. As Judge
BOND is q radical in politics, no one can
say that his course is prompted by "cop-
perheadism :"
call your attention, also, gentlemen, to ar
land, in these words: THAT in all criminal
prosecutions man hath right to be informed
of the accusation against him; to have copy
of the indictment or charge in due form (if re-
quired) to prepare for his defence; to be al
lowed counsel; to be confronted with the wit
nesses for and against him on oath and to
speedy trial by an impartial jury, without
whose unanimous consent he ought not to be
found guilty. and to state that it has come to
my knowledge that here, where the United
States Court, presided over by Chief Justice
Chase. has always been unimpeded, and where
the Marshal of the United States. appointed by
the President, selects the jurors, irresponsible
exercise criminal Jurisdiction over citizens of
this State, not in the military or naval service
of the United States nor in the mi itia, who are
charged with offences either not known to the
law, or with crimes for which the mode of
trial and punishment are provided by statutes
in the courts of the land.
That this is not done by the paramount au-
thority of the United States, your attention is
directed to Article v. of the Constitution of the
United States, which says: " No person shall
be held to answer for o capital or otherwise
Infamous crime, unless on presentment of
Indictment of grand jury, except in cases
arising in the land or naval forces, or in the
militia when in actual service in time of war or
public danger"
Such persons exercising such unlawful juris-
diction are liable to indictment by you, as well
as responsible in civil actions to the parties
injured.
The members of the legal profession all
over the North are demonstrating in the
strongest terms against the military trials
of cases which come, under the Constitu-
ton, before the cognizsnce of the civil
courts. The following is the remonstrance
of Judge PRcKHAh, in charge to the
gram jury of the supreme Court of New
York, at Albany, delivered last week:
great crime has lately been committed, that
has shocked the civilized world. Every right
minded man desires the punishment of the
criminals-hut he desires that punishment to
be administered according to law, and through
the judicial tribunals of the country No star
chamber court, no secret inquisition, In this

The Christfan Commissioners, Call
on Gen. Lee.

Rev. DR.. J. ". Parker, of Boston, VINO
was of the party who recently called on
Gen. Lee, writes as follows of that occasion:
After six or seven hours of hard work in an
effort to supply the wants of the multitude. a
member of the Christian Commission; win
whom I had no connection, said: I'VE are
going to call on Gen. Lee: will you go with
US, Doetor?" Without reflection, and from
such impulses as are indicated above, I said
yes, and in few moments we were on our
way. So far was it from my intention to show
any prospect to the conquered traitor, that
when was requested to introduce the party
refused saying 1 had no respects to pay to Gen.
Lee nor 8 word to say to him.
After the military gentleman of the party
had made his Introductory speech, there was a
silence where had expected conversation to
which might he listener without any par
ticipation in what was said. Seeing no such
opportunity was likely to be afforded me- l
determined to make the interview as short as
possible and made single remark about the
charitable work of the Christian Commission
1t was such as thought would insure char.
acteristic response, and show the man. The
reply was so meagre and commonplace as to
indicate that the proud cavalier was mortified,
broken, and seemed to be lost TO all the finer
feelings of humanity, if not utterly destitute of
moral sentiment and sympathy, aud at once
led the way from the premises. Such was nv
part in the call on Gen. Lee, so widely noted
and discussed.

just before Davis reached Greensboro he was

him had they known who he was. After leav.

The Mineral Wealth OF ahe Pacific
States.

Alta meeting held at Cooper Institute, New
York, last week, addresses were made upon
the subject of the Mineral Wealth of the Pa.
cifc States" by Hon. VIM. Fl. Stewart. and
Hon. James w. Nye, United States Senator's
from Nevada. Hon. Horace Greedy presided.
and introduced Mr.. Stewart.
In speaking of the return of the country to
peace, the lecturer said that much might be
done by the government to that end in dissolv-
ing military tribunals and again resorting to
the civil courts for justice, and by resumipg
specie payments. In order to liquidate the
national debt, the question arises where we
can obtain the necessary mineral with the least
labor. If it will cost less TO produce gold.
then we should prosecute mining interests IF
1t costs less labor to produce merchandise with
which to pay the debt, then We should pursue
the latter end.
The lecturer then sketched the progress of
mineral productions during the history of the
world, and said that in 1880 there were 81 800
600. 600 of gold in circulation in the civilized
world. The discovery of gold in California
followed by similar discoveries in Australia and
other countries. in 1850, marked a new era in
civilization. The annual production of gold in
the world since that time has been a260 OOo
600, making total of 5000, 000, OOO Eiph.
teen hundred millions of dollars, the sneaker
c6dtinued, remains in the country in which The
ore has been obtained, doubling the amount of
gold In circulation in 1860. The lecturer ther
sketched the probable increase in the prodnc-
ton of mineral wealth, showing that in 1SSn
the amount of gold In the civilized world viii
reach ga, 600 GOO 600. The aggregate of gold
in this country In 1850 was "a .000, 900 600 the
production between 1850 and 1860 was no oO0
090, 600, making an aggregate of GIG. OO1I OOO
00O. The prosperity Of the American nation
has been without parallel in the history of the
world.
