X writes from Washington to the Bal
thore G0zefie the following:
| The onslaught of the Third Auditor
bon whilom Confederates, for old ac-
duntabilitics, threatens n singular de-
buement. Like the appointment of
tewart to the post Of Secretary of the
treasury, it is now seen that many ap
pintments of our excellent Excelency
i've been made in tho very teeth of
,ositive enactments. consequently have
o say that tho Jealous and punctilious
imreau officer has been advised to be
more particular hereafter, and sec that
he treads on no radical corns. The case
ST Longstreet is in point: There is di-
rect law of Congress (which 1 hope no
one Mt this late date will disputc) that no
dcfaulter of the Government shall be
while such, to any Office what
ever, civil or military. under the General
Government. 1t is beyond question that
General Longstreet left the Government
service abruptly, and in its debt, as
shown by the books of the accounting
officers. At tho time of his late appoint
ment, he was, therefore, a defaulter. 1t
has been the practice. heretofore, to eX-
anime such records before appointment.
The question now presented Is whether,
under the tenure Of office Act, the mis-
chief done by the Third Auditor can be
remedied. It is admitted on all hands,
that the appointment of the General as
Surveyor at the sport of New Orleans, is
void, under the circumstances. What
the Attorney General will have to decide,
(he will shortly have his hands full, is
whether the President has the power,
under the Act rtferred to, to suspend
for a period, brief, but sufficiently long
to enable a man to ''pony up" and then
re-appoint the same person; and if so,
whether the Confederate General must
not necessarily disgorgo the salary for
pay he has already received.

In the case of James Weaver, citizen
of Texas, tried for murder, convicted
and sentenced to be hung, by military
commission, Attorney-General Hoar
has given an opinion, in which he re-
views tho reconstruction laws and the
duties of commanding officers, and says:
'As the State of Texas had not, in Sep.
tember, 1868, and has not since, adopted
n constitution in conformity with the
provisions of the Act of Congress, and
has not become entitled to representa-
ton in Congress, the Act was operative
in Texas at the timo the military com
miss: IN was organized for the trial of
Weaver, and the commanding general
exercised the discretion entrusted to him
by the third section, by deciding that it
was necessary that military commits
sion should be organized for the trial
If, therefore, the statute of March 2,
1867, is constitutional and valid
statute, it then appears that the jurisdic-
ton of the said military commission was
complete, and that there is no legal OBJ
stucle to the execution Of the sen ence "
The Attorney General maintains that the
right of war did not necessarily termi-
nate with the cessation of active and
actual hostilities, and not until the work
of restoring the relations of peace shall
have been accomplished, can it be so con
sidered. 1t is for Congress to determine
when the war has SO for ended that the
work can be safely and successfully com
pleted. The Attorney General sees no
reason in law for withholding the Presi-
dents approval of the findings. During
his argument, the Attorney General
said: "lt is obvious that Congress, under
the Constitution, has no right in time of
peace. TO subject any citizen Of IL State
to trial and punishment by military
power"

TIE CASE OF THE ARMAND BRoTHERs.
The case of the United States against
the Armand Brothers, who built ships
for the Southern Confederacy and sold
them after the dose of the war, is soon
to come up again before the French
Court, of Appeals. The United States
Government has retained NJ. Jules Favre
in place of M. Berryer, deceased, as its
principal counsel The case was decided
adversely to the United States in lower
Court on the ground that some of the
material evidence against the Armands
consisted of DOCUMENTS which had been
stolen from then. Tho United States
authorities have l.upplied other evidence
to cover the same point, and the matter
is to be heard from the beginning.

to take the whole White House on his

The "DEcENCY PARTY. AT the late
Radical State Convention in Tennessee,
while in the midst of the session, Mr..
David Nelson had fisticuff fight with
one of the three chairmen Congressman
Butler.) Pistols and knives were drawn
by the friends of the respective parties,
and had it not been for the active inter
!. ference of the police, there would have
Npe5n general melee, with a great loss of
Pife. Both Nelson and Butler were ar
! rested.
AS specimen of the elegance of the
convention, take the following, from the
speech of Captain Hathaway, of militia
fame, in reply to Colonel Brownlow. He
said:
"Dont say any moro of your Cd
ID stuff. If you want me to fight, by
Cd, I'm in. If nothing else will do
you, and you must have II id rebel,
Aput N b. Forrest in nomination, and
