In the District Court of the United States.
| at Alexandria, Va, Judge Underwood pre-
siding, an important decision was rendered
yesterday. Thomas Garvin was imprisoned
some time ago by the Provost Court, under
| the Freedmen's Bureau law, and his counsel
sued out an application Tor a writ of ha5eas
corpus, under the supposition that the
Presidents proclamation restored that writ.
The case was argued before Judge Under
wool, who decided that the proclamation
did not restore the writ.
An order has been issued by the War De-
partment TO all the Assistant Commission
ers of Freedmen in the Southern States,
iustructing them to inform the people that
the recent proclamation Of the President
did not release them from the operations
| and government Of military law. 1t is
cautiously Worded, and, while not declaring
martial law in force thrOugOut the late in
surrectionary States, Is calculated and in
tended 10 create the popular impression
that such is the fact. The order is kept
close and not allowed TO be given out Tor
publication.
