upon every occasion, he has persisted
in his demand until the present time.
On March 3, 1865, an act of Con-
greSs was passed giving to officers
dismissed by the President right
to IA trial bv court.ma,tiaI. Its pro.
visions are as follows:
When any officer dismissed by order of
the PRESIDENT makes in writing IN appi-
cation for trial, setting forth. under oath
that lie has been wrougtully dismissed. the
President shall, aS soon as the necessities
OF the service may permit, convene court
martial to try such officer on the charges
on which he shall have been dismissed,
And II cOurt-martill is not so convened
within six months from the presentation
IoI such application for trial, or if such
court, being convened, does not award
dismissal or death rs the punishment OF
such officer the order OF dismissal by the
President shall be void. r. s., Secl230,) }
In the original act, the word "here-
after" occurs before the the word
dismissed" in the first line.
Whether by the omission of the
word hereafter" it was intended to
make the section applicable to cases
of dismissal anterior to the passage
of the act, it is for the purposes of
this case unnecessary to dlscdss. 1t
has been construed, it would seem.
not to apply in this case. 1t, how
ever, does afford IL good reason why
the relief asked for Major Halter
should be given. There was more
reasons for such law when, in the
din and excitement Of the war, injus.
tice was more apt to be done.
Maio HaIler demands right
which the Constitution and laws of
his country are supposed to secure to
every citizen, however high or how.
ever humble, right to a fair and
impartial trial hy his peers. He has
been asking for the privilege of vlndi-
eating his loyalty before such a tri-
bunal ever since the order of his dis
missal. Your committee believe it
to be but justice to him, his friends
and family, that he should have such
right. If injustice has been dore
him, he ought to have the privilege
of showing it.
The committee report back the
joint resolution as amended, with the
recommendation that it do pass.

Enough has been produced to show
that a serious mistake was made
somewhere. Here an officer who had
served his country for more than
twenty-three years, and always with
honor and distinction, was summarily
dismissed from the service, upon the
sworn eX-parte statement OF single
person without notice to him, or the
opportunity to meet the charges and
make a defense. Repeatedly has
Major Haller demanded the oppor.
tunty to disprove these charges aud
