OOCBE8RY ON AN INQUEST.

William Henry Davenport, smart young
mulatto, married Ellen Louisa something,
comely young Irish girl, and they were living
quietly and happily together OF Greenwich
Conn, in peace and charity with all men.
They had broken no law of God or man; they
were earning an honest livelihood, and were
not even suspected Of any wrong, save the bad
taste (according to our nOtions) evinced by
Ellen in accepting copper-colored sutton.
Such bad taste is a crime in this land OF
Democratic liberty, though in no other on
earth. A gang Of the neighboring roughs,
headed by returned soldier, named Chard,
undertook, last Saturday night, to break into
the dwelling Of this unoffending couple, and
treat them as their mob instincts should die.
tate. In doing this, they were resisted by
Betsey, wife Of Joe and mother of ". ii.
Davenport, who, after due warning, fired at
the rioters, shooting their leader dead On the
spot; when the rest absconded. Thereupon, q
constable arrested-not any Of the rowdies,
but their intended victims-who, after due in.
vestigation, were necessarily acquitted and set
at liberty.
NO, not exactly at liberty, though they
were cleared and discharged; for Mr.. Pbilsnder

cox ON COMPROMIsB.

The Hon. Samuel S. Cox, who for the last
eight years represented the Columbus district OF
Ohio in the House Of Representatives, was last
Fall chosen to stay at homo by majority ex-
ceeding those Of his four successes aggregated.
In 1862 he was chosen by 272 majority over
Samuel Shellabarger; il 1864, he was beaten
3, 1863 by that same opponent, whereof l,S79 was
piled up on the Home and 1890 o. the Army
vote The poll was the heaviest ever known;
Mr. Cox had enjoyed and improved the Franking
Privilege for the seven preceding years; he had
stunned the district to his hearts content,
and is well known as fluent and popular, if not
an able debater. Had his defeat followed Sher.
mans march and Grants annihilating victories,
it might have been attributed to them; as it
was, we can explain it no otherwise than on
the assumption that Mr.. Cox's politics and votes
were condemned by the "sober second thought Z"
of his constituents. And this seems to DO Mr..
Cox's own conclusion; since he has abandoned
the District and State and removed to our
CITY. where he devo.es himself for the present,
to law practice and to the correction Of History
by means of semi-biOgr aphcal, somi-political
account Ct his Eight Years in Congress"
which is soon to be published by the Appetons.
A chapter of this work appears in advance
through the congenial columns of The Daily
Neus, and is devoted to. proving that The Repub-
licans in 1861 rould do nothing by ,cay Of
concession to arsrt Cioi Var. In fact, he seeks
to give the impression that most Of us actually
desired such War; in order that the Southern
Hotspurs might receive the discipline they had
so long been cour,ing and Slavery he abolishe d
This assumption is groundless The great
BODY of the Republicans, whether in or out of
Congress, deprecated Civil War, and did all
that they in honor and good conscience could do
to avert il. We cannot here make room Tor tho
documentary proofs Of this truth; but Mr.. Cox

XIV. lie will there find recorded proposition

THE COST OF MILITARY JUS.

Tie following dispatch is taken from Wash

By TELEGRAPH--A BLOW AT THE MILITARY POWER
OF THE GovgRsMEsr-Ir WILL BE PROMPTLY
AND sQUARELY MET.
PHILApgLrrIA Aug, IL am authorized to say that
the editorial in Saturdays NEW YORK TRIBUTE rela
tive to the dongs OF the Doubleday" Military Com
mission Of this city is tissue Of malicious msrepre-
sentations will he conclusiyely shown in detail very
shortly. sP H.
In addition to this announcement we have
received from an officer of the Doubleday Court
Martial the following communication, which we
print with all possible prominence:
Two editorials have lately appeared in THE NEW
YORK TRIBUNE in regard to the Doubleday Court
Martial. which unanswered tend to prejudice the pub
lie mind not only against this court, but al other mill
tary courts to say nothing Of the iconcealed attempt
to attack the Goyernmel through the officers Of the
army obeying the commands Of the President
1t is simply sufficient to say that the editorials
ferred TO written by wholly unacquainted
with tho facts. military law and army reguatons-in
word the entire article, tissue Of misreprescnta
tons. which We will briefly show by stating the truth
regarding the court attacked by name.
The tribunal Is Court Martial and not Military
Commission. The officers composing II do not receive
the extra allowance OF 81 % per day any allowances
other than those paid to all officers aay In cities
But leaving aside these and similar errors 1t is difficult
TO how IL would be economical to transfer the
trials q civil court Officers OF the army in pcrma-
ncnt organizations receive their pay. matter upon
what duty they may be assigned 1t seems. therefore
very unfair to compute the ordinary pay Of officers
part Of the expenses Of the Court Martial The faacy
Of OF he articles mentioned is clearly shown n one
item in the list OF expenditures. The Government Is
therein charged with expenses for ushers. detectives
policemen. &C., to the sum Of ESQ a day amounting in
the aggregate to t70p whereas the simple fact is the
detailed for the purpose and who nothing in
addition TO their pay SUCH and ccrk, whose salary
is s75 per month. IL Il is alleged that civil courts are
already In existence aud receiving ply for attend.
ing to this class Of cases, il may bo said In reply that
officers of the army arc also receiving pay and may
well attend to this as to any other duty.
1t is true some OF the officers who do not belong to
permanent organizations could DO mustered out Of
service, but tho substitution of others who have not
had experience In this class Of duties would DO injurious
rather than beneficial to the public interest.
In answer to tie allegation that the case Of Cozzens
has lasted for unusual length of time it may bo wei
to state that Coszens has mado an immense number Of
tents for the army and the charges and specifications
against him cover several quires Of paper Ho has
