needs but one Of his late decisions-which
is a confession---to set it boldly forth. Says
the Philadelphia Ledger:
The Judge Advocate General, Mr. Joseph
Holt, has Just decided that no authority for
the trial of u civlian by e0mt-mdrtidi can
be found In any of the Articles of War,
those articles being enacted solely for the
government Of the armies of the United
States, aud being applicable only TO persons
ia the saiIitarv service. He considers il
strictly legal however, to try, by military
courts civilians formerly In the service.
for crimes committed while in the service.
BY this decision, the supremacy of the civil
courts In all cases where citizens are con-
eerned. Is Acknowledged, and it would
seem that the days of military trials of
civilians have passed by. a
Judge Advocate General HoLI, then, CON
fesses that all such arraignments, and trials,
and convictions Us those of Mr.. VALLANDIG-
BAN and hundreds of other victims OF mil
itary tyranny, throughout the country,
were Wifhoat Ia1, civd or aihtdry! He
even virtually confesses thdt those victims
of military villainy, MILLlGAN and HoEsEf,
sentenced, by 'rCommisslon" at lndanap-
oils to the penitentiary Jor lge. and who
are now at hard labor In the State prison at
Columbus, have been made victims without
the sanction of any law! Even DIR. MuDp

A Dectiye Needed.

The last steamer from Oregon TO san
francisco brought down a collector of Gus
toms named ADAMS. A letter says:
He got on the steamer at Astoria with
S4h0O0 in his possession. which he was
bringing here to deposit with the snb-treas-
urer. The money was IN trunk. which
the vigilant collector put in his state-room.
He allowed the money TO remain IN the
trunk, instead of depositing it with the
purser. What do yon suppose the fools
excuse was for not depositing the money
with the purser? The latter was 'sisloyal. y
Adams said. Hewould notdeposit govern
ment funds with 4 disloyal man; no. in
deed. All right He came down to San
Franciseo,and says that he kept n vigilant
watch over that housekeeping with il.
eating with IL. aud sticking to il like a
leech. till the boat touched the San Fran
cisco wharf. After carrying the trunk to a
hotel this vigilant collector discovered that
he had been robbed ( p of $4,000.

Terrible COnflagration In Cincin
natl Last Night.

The most awful calamity by fire, which
has ever visited Cincinnati, occurred last
night. The details will be found in another
part Of this evenings paper. The fire oc-
curredin the very heart of the city, and
two millions worth of most valuable prop
erty was utterly destroyed. Being person.
ally acquainted with most of the principal
sufferers by this direful event, we can sin
cerely sympsthize with them all. but more
especially with our friends and former as
soeiates OF the Enqurer. We can form
some estimate Of the extent of their loss.
we need not say that they have our heart
felt sympathies In this sorc trial. But they
are all men of indomtable energy and en-"
terprlse. and the patrons OF the Enquirer
win not have TO wait long its re-appear-
ance, fresh and VIGOROUS as heretofore.
p We ARE gmtilied TO see, that. with the
manliness and courtesy which has always
distinguished the members of the press, the
proprietors Of all the daily papers in the
city have generously rendered the Enquirer
all the facilities they can command 10 ena-
BILE the publishers to Reissue the paper at
the earliest possible moment.
