The Militia and Press Criticism.
oath Times.)
Jt is unfortunate that certain news
gamers are Inclined to blame the militia
If the State for any disturbance in which
they become involved, without waiting
for the facts Such course is not only
unfair to our citizen soldiers, who, In the
majority of cases, as in Bath, we pre-
sumo TO be drawn from, the respectable
and self-respecting young men OF Maine,
bur is inimical to the best intert SITS OF the
public In general, since it Is certainly not
calculated to induce such men TO continue
to ally themselves with body that they
know is RI garded with prejudice by the
press. We are as far from wishing to de-
fepd any brawling in which members of
the national guard may indulge as we
know Its officers to be- but we do believe
they should be accorded fair play and
given as fair and full hearing as other
citizens. We know that the tendency of
a portion of the State press. to which we
have already referred, has produced
natural feeling of irritation among our
militamen, which we think is excusable
under the circumstances.
In the instance of the unfortunate
fracas at the Brunswick station some OF
our contemporaries Immediately jumped
at the conclusion that the troops were in
the wrong, without waiting for the evil
dence and condemned them accordingly.
Some of them, We regret to say, choose to
ignore the evidence and continue to con-
denim the militia in spite of the fact that
the story told by both sides to the con-
troversy shows the soldiers to have been
attacked instead of the attacking party.
Do our esteemed contemporaries of Bruins
wick and Gardiner believe that gentle
men, as well as officers, of the reputation
of Gen. Conner, Gen. Choate and Col.
Philbrook would deliberately uphold their
subordinates, after a thorough examina-
ton, If they did not believe their iDno-
cence satisfactorily established?
The Times advocates severe criticism Of
any lapses from discipline and good de-
pertinent on the part of our State troops,
but 1t warmly deprecates the prevailing
habit of assuming them to be always at
fault.

RICHMOND. Va, Nov 21.-Tne court

day in the case of the Lunenburg pris-

OF Mrs.. Pollard. The court had been
asked to Issue mandamus to compel
the city sergeant OF Richmond to deliver
the prisoners to the LunenburR au shorf.
ties. The court declined to issue the
mandamus. but deola red that there was
no authority OF law for the governors
action In delaying the prisoners.
Nor did Judge Wexford, before whom
he prisoners were taken on a writ OF
habeas corpus, have Jurisdiction in the
case, but thas as he mad assumed iuris
diction in the Gaze, the prisoners we're
now in thecustody of his court and that
they must be removed from that juris-

This is construed to be broad hint
to Judge Wexford to dismiss the writ
and 1t Ia believed that he will do 80. In
that event no power can prevent the
