E~y1lsrxryr OF MryoRs.-It will be re-


collected that a few weeks since Judge
Baldwin of our United States District
Court, ordered the discharge OF II minor
from the army. 1t seems that u conflict
has arisen between the Courts in Vir-
giuia aud the military authorities there,
the latter having, rs it is stated, re-
fused 10 obey u writ of hdbeds corpus is
sued BY Judge Meredith, at Richmond,
ON the petition of a soldier, who sought
to be discharged from the army on the
ground that he was u minor when he
was enlisted,-preciSely the ground on
which Judge Baldwin ordered a dis
charge of the youthful soldier who was
recently before him. The New York
Times, of October 9Th, says that " the
question as to the right of a minor to
his discharge in such n case is nc new
one here. 1t has been before our Courts
repeatedly, the last time in the case of
John Riley, before Judge Blatchford, in
the District Court of the United States,
whose exhaustive opinion We published
in full last week. All our Courts, State
a. well rs Federal, before whom this
question has been brought, have agreed
in their determination of il. They have
all held that the Courts, whether Fed
eral or State, have nothing to do with
the question of the discharge of soldiers
from the army because they were minors,
but that Congress has committed all
these cases TO the determination of the
Secretary OF War" And the Times fur
Their saws that .the Secretary of War is
the only power that eau discharge from
the service any young man VINO swore
that he was OF age in order to enlist,
and is now ready TO swear that he was
not OF age in order to obtain his dis
shargc." OF course, the Times is not
authority" in the premises, but the
similarity of the cases induces US to
note the one in Virginia. The Times re-
fers to the case OF Ablemau vs.. Booth.
In the case before Judge Baldwin, all our
svmpathies were - enlistedSfo the dis
charge of the boy, whose Iosher was
and is to some extent Dependent upon
his earnings aud We understood that
the argument aud citations before the
Judge were apparently conclusive rs to
his right to order the discharge.

THE BASERupr LAw.-An important
provision in the National Bankrupt law
is that relating to attachment suits. It
provides that when an attachment has
been levied upon property, any other
creditor can force the debtor into bank
ruptcy, and then the property, or pro-
ceeds of the same, must be divided pro
rata among all the creditors. The first
party attaching only secures his proper
ton, the same as others. The law prac-
tically uulliieS the attachment law of
this State.
