1t will be remembered that after the Ser
geant Mason case went to the Supreme Court
of the United States and was decided ad-
verse to the prisoner, Mr.. j. e. Bigelow,
in his original review, filed a review of the
case, claiming that under the second article
Of war the troops were not legally called 10
the Jail. 1t is now stated that this record
having been submitted to the President aud
by him referred to Judge Advocate General
Swain, the latter has nearly completed his
report thereon. 1t is said that in this report
he sustains Mr.. Bgeow, especially in the
point he makes that in ordering the troops to
the Jail on July I'd, the military authorities
exceeded their power; that neither the
Cabinet nor any officer thereof had authority
to order troops to the Jail without formal
requisition through the executive of the dis
trct, which was not made. Mason friends
anticipate his release as soon as this report
IA made to the President.
