Sergeant Mason's Case.

WASHINGTON, September l8.-The
Star says: Mr.. Bigelow, aI counsel for
Sergeant John A. Mason, now con-
fined in the Albany penitentiary for
shooting at Guiteau's cell window at
the Jail in this city last September, has
prepared petition for habeas corpus,
addressed to Judge Alfred q. Coke,
United States District Judge for the
Northern District of New York. This
petition sets forth at length the court
martial proceedings and subsequent
orders, by virtue Of Which Mason is
confined in the penitentiary; claims
that the order of the Secretary Of War
in ordering soldiers to guard the iail is
null and void, as the Jail is in custody
ofthe civil authorities Of the District
that the ofense charged involved
merely breach Of the civil peace, and
in no way affected the discipline of
the army; that the offense, if commit
ted at all, was not committed in the
discharge OF military duty, nor was it
committed at any military camp, post
or garrison, nor against the person of
soldier of the United States Army;
that the crime charged is not triabie
by court rial; that the Judge Ad.
vOoate General of the United States
Army recently reviewed the evidence
before the court martial, and rendered
an opinion reversing the findings and
sentence Of the court martial, on the
grounds-frst, that the court martial
had no jurisdiction, because the of.
fense charged was merely breach of
the civil peace, and that the employ
ment of Battery B, Second United
States Artillery, to guard the Jail was
prohibited by the act of Congress of
June 10, 1878; and, second, that the
record Of the testimony clearly estab-
fishes. his (Mason's) innocence. The
petition maintains that under the law
the decision of the Judge Advocate
General is fnal in all such cases, and
therefore the further detention of
Mason is unlawful and wrongful. The
Judge is asked that the writ issue
against the Warden Of the Albany
penitentiary.

Another gentleman, with even more

conventions that we ever heard of such
an occurrence, These gentlemen have
a peculiar kind of talent, and make nc
bones of letting the world know it.
After this we would not be surprised
to hear of one or both of them rising
to elucidate a few propositions before
Congress or any organized public
assembly where they might happen tO
drop in. The Democrats of this dis.
triOt do not know any better than to
think they can run their conventions

War correspondents lead exciting
and adventurous lives. They can
never be cei tain oil a peaceful half hour

be ordered to share the trials of
another, Nor is it only that they are

actually at their work they must be
prepared to face danger, endure hard
ships and exposures. More than all.
they must, if they would give loyal
