ments to the Constitution II Is declared
that Gin all criminal prosecutions the ac-
cused shall enjoy the right of speedy and
public trial by On impartial jury OF the
State and district wherein the crime snail
have been committed.
VI. That the consequence Of these prin-
ciples and constitutional provisions is that
the courts Of the United States cannot try
felony committed on the land In the
time Of peace, and therefore no military
court can, unless the offender be in the
land or naval forces, or in the militia In
actual service and such trials can take
place only in the State courts and by
Jury. See Mlligan's case in the Supreme
Court of the United States.
VII. That the Freedmen's Bureau bill
and the Civil Rights bill do not, nor
does either of them, change the rights
of the accused or the powers OF the
Government in criminal cases: First,
because Congress had no power to change
them, having no right to alter or violate
the Constitution. Secondly, because they
do not profess to effect such change, but
relate entirely to civil proceedings and
rights of living freedmen or criminal
cases in which live freedmen have beSi
denied Justice and fair trial, and do not
profess to govern the trial of white men
for the benefit of dead freedmen. Fourthiy,
because at the most the jurisdiction con.
ferred by one or both of them Is concur
rent. and not exclusive, and the settled
rule in such cases in the courts OF the
United States is that the court first taking
jurisdiction shall hold it to the conclusion
OF the case.
VIII. Because the authority of the State
court which acquitted your petitioner was
as complete as that of any court can be,
and if it may be reviewed by military
commander, so may the decision of any
other court in this State or any other State !;
and "chaos has come again." and the State
governments are overthrown; for there can
be no civil government without a Judiciary.
Your petitioner therefore asks that he
may be forthwith discharged.
