Judge Edmuuds, the newly appointed
Senator from Vermont, says the Pitts
burgh Commercial, somewhat startled his
radical friends BY the course he took in the
Senate few days since, on the bill for ex~
enpting from penalties military persons
Who have been guilty OF the exercise Of
arbitrary acts Of power, in the form Of I'M
prisonment, seizures Of property, tresspass,
DC, during the war. lie opposed the bill
as CT post focto and wrong in Itself. While
declaring that he was not one Of that class
OF persons who are struck with paralysis

law for the security of the public is about

posed law was the exercise Of rover which

ton from any Of its provisions, and which
is contrary to the natural sense Of justice
which preyades every mans bosom. We
quote the following paragraph from the
UNEXPECTED speech.
Z" know that there is 4 precedent for
this class Of legislation. In the time of
that king who was called, or rather mis-
called, the first gentleman in Europe, and
who Was certainly the worst monarch. and
whose fears of assassination and the over~
throw OF his government we're such as to
drive him nearly crazy, subscrvient Par
lament passed an act somewhat similar to
this, which declared that all arrests Of reo-
pie suspected Of treason which had been
made, or which might be made within q
certain limited time, should be regarded

whether there was any ground of suspc-
ion, and Independent Of the question what

that past transaction should be guilty or
gulltless, had any force ut all except az it
forfeited martial law OK operated upon dis
tricts where civil law was not in force
Therefore it has appeared to mc-not, q.
have said before, az one Of those persons
who are delighted to find constitutional OBJ
jections to everything which is proposed
i'll the disturbed State OF the country, but
rather as one Of those who desire to use
that noble instrument to It's fullest extent,
and net to abuse rs powers cha. it is I'M
wise as well as illegal to pass law of his
description, which operates upon districts
81 the country where there has been per-
Get refose, and where the mantle Of the
civil law has been uafoldod day by day in
The courts of justice.
The bill, however, PASSED the Senate by
very large majority, the newly appointed
senator from Vermont voting with Sens
