upon the same free principles and subver-
siv- Of the rights aud Liberties of the eiii-
zens. The question Of practical economy
commends itself to the consideration Of the
law making powers with an immense debt
already burdcnng the incomes of the in
dustrial and laboring classes. A duo re-
gard for their interest SO inscparably con.
ncctcd with the welfare of the country
should prompt US to rigid economy and
retrcnchment and influence US to abstain
from all legislation that will unnec, ssarily
increase the public indebtedness. Tested
by this rule Of sound political wisdom, l
can see no reason for the establishment of
military jurisdiction conferred upon the
officials of the bureau. By one section of
the bill and by the laws of the
United States and of different States, com.
petent courls.-fedpral aud State,-have
been established, and arc now in full prac-
teal operation. BY means of these sim
pie tribunals ample redress is afforded for
all private wrongs, whether to the person
or the property of the citizen, without de-
nial or unnecessary delay. They are open
to MI, without regard to color or race. l
feel well assured it will be better 10 trust
the rights, privileges and immunities of
citizens to tribunals that are to be cstab-
lshcd and presided over by competent and
impartial judges, bound by tho fixed rules

There is danger too. that conflict of juris-
diction will frequently arise between the
civil courts and military tribunals. each
having concurrentjuri' diction over persons
and cause of action, of one jurisdic;io ion,
and one administered by civil law, the
other by military law. How is the
conflict to be settled, and who is to de.
tcrmins between tribunals when it arises
In my opinion it is wise to guard against
such conflict Ivy leaving to the courts
the jurisdiction of all civil rights and
redress of all violences. The fact cannot
be denied that since the cessation of hos
Utilities many acts Of violence, such per-
haps as had never been witnessed in their
previous history have occurred in the
States involved in the late rebellion. !
