Why GEN THOMAS WAS DISCHARGED TRDM
ARRESr.-Judge Carter reasons for discharg
ing Gen. Lorenzo Thomas, were stated by him
as follows:
have concluded to grant your motion, that
the accused be discharged, and for these reasons
1t is confessed here by the prosecution, or rather
statcl-and it is truth which, under the cir
cumstances Of this place, we are well advised of
that Gen. Thomas does not seek TO evade the
process of the law He is here, and viii be here
ready to renew its demand when called upon.

ing the Monday when the Grand Jury convenes
in this District-only four days before the tribun-

my duty as an examining magistrate? Is it to
hold this case from day to day for examination
until the Grand Jury sits or Is 1t to dismiss 1t

can settle anything before this mere inquiry trl-

that the subject that un1eIlies the controversy
here is passing the ordeal Of the highest judicial
tribunal of the country, and that in contrast with
its gravity there, preliminary examination here
which must terminate with the session of the
Grand Jury. would take on the character of tri-
fling, and do not propose to be instrumental in
instituting any such proceeding. Under avowal
made before me to-day, think my duty as a
magistrate is properly discharged, in dismissing
the case upon the motion Of the counsel for the

''Who advised the President to remove Mr..

Mr.. JonNSoS's lNsISCERrTY. Presi-
dents doubtful, hesitating course is cited as
conclusive evidence that his attempt to re-
move Mr. Stanton was not for the purpose Of
testing the constitutionality of the law in the
Courts. That purpose was, doubtless, simply
an after thought. The truth is the President
assumed the law TO be unconstitutional from
the start. and violated it for that reason, in
tending that the legal proceedings 10 test it's
validity should he initiated by Mr.. Stanton
For that reason he tried to induce Gen
Grant to hold on. He knew that then it
would take nearly year to get decision
from the Supreme Court, and in the mean
time he would have actual possession of the
War Department, and full control of the
army. lie could then have compelled Grant
to resign, and carried out his schemes Of
