MILITARY ORDER.-A general order, from Gen.
Candy, contains some interesting legal peints, but
we have not space to publish it in full. Private
John A. Ellis, Co. c, Sd r. l. cavalry, sergeant
Loois Green and prvates Wm. Aikens, Charles
Bridges and Jesse White, of the 18th colored were
tried by courtmartal for murder found guilty and
sentenced to death. The sentence was approved
by General Sherman but disapproved by General
Candy, on the ground that the finding was illegal
that the crime was mauslaughter. He therefore
ordered new trial, but the second court acquitted
the prisoners on the grounds that they could not
be tried twice for the same offense. Gen. Canby
quoted authorities to show that in military law this
ruling is wrong as the reviewing officer upon find
ing that the proceedings have been illegally con-
Quoted, may order a new trial before another
court. Owing to the length of time the prisoners
have already been in prison, General Candy dis
charges them from custody but he thinks they
are liable to arrest and trial before the civil
courts.

was not heard, but Frederick then took him
