THE 1ST LONG ISLAND OR 9TH
n "
An Unusual Circumstance at It's 46th
Anniversary.

Editor National Tribune: The 1st
into the United States service June 20,
1861, for three years and by order of
the President and Secretary of War
Cameron its officers were to be COM
missioned by the War Department: but
some time after when Secretary STAN
ton was at the head of things he re-
fused to issue the commissions and the
officers were ordered to apply to the
Governor of New York. Some never
did. and others had resigned before any
were issued, and more than one had
been killed in battle. Even President
Lincoln was not able to overcome the
arbitrary action of Stanton. and as the
officers and men were recruited for the
Regular service they had no love there
after for Stanton. The few survivors on
June "a held their 18th anniversary of
the muster-in at Brooklyn. n. Y. 1t is
by the best obtainable information as
certained that but some 40 or so men
who belonged to this regiment during
its three or more years service now
survive. But 10 or 20 were present at
their annual meeting, and a most sim
gular fact occurred which perhaps
no other regiment of 1861 that served
its full three years can show. This was
the meeting of the original officers of
Co. X OF said regiment for the first
time since the close of the war, namely,
Capt. Lewis NJ. Peck, of Brooklyn; First
Lieut.. V. M. Hodgson, White Plains.
N. Y; Second Lieut.. E. K Russell, of
Philadelphia. each one of whom, had
been wounded and served in the army
more than three years. Each had been
promoted and in other organizations.
and E. X. Russell is now Major. U. s.
A. retired. The 9th n. Y lost more
than half it's number in battle, and sew
eral times received the commendation
of its brigade, division and corps COM
manders. At Fair Oaks. May 81, 1852.
it lost 10 out of 523 (nine companies
in action), and by Gems. Keyes, Couch.
Ambercrombie, Kearny and Vessels was
highly commended for its holding the
key to the situation. Its officers and
men who now survive are glad that Col.
Fox has not classed the regiment with
his list of fighting ones to keep COM
pany with one he mentions, which at
this fight lost most all its men running
to the rear and breaking thru the 67th's
lines and never stopping until half a
mile in its rear, and half of its loss was
in running to the rear. The action of
the regiment at Marye's flights, Fair
Oaks. etc. as reported bv brigade, divi-
sion and corps comma nders and shown

Gratitude of Vefernns.

The battle of Newmarket, Va, was
fought May Is, 1864. Many of the 54th
Pa. who were wounded were put in a
hospital improvised from the Metho-
dist Church, and 4 number of South
ern ladies of the neighborhood showed
much kindness in caring for them. The
church has had hanging over 1t for
some time a debt of $500. and 1t oc-
Cured TO George w. Kennedy, of New
market. that the survivors of the 54th
Pa who had been to visit the battle
field might care to help in raising the
debt. He wrote to Comrade David r.
Bryan to that effect, and his letter was
read at the recent Reunion of the regi-
ment The Association at once voted
500 from its funds. and started a sub
scription paper. which will probably
make the total gift of the regiment $50
or more

So MUCH Different
English and American Trials
Compared by Judge Davis.
TRIAL FINISHED IN SIX HOURS
Judge Davis Sat Alongside British
Judge In A Murder Trial At London
And Was Surprised At Celcrity With
Which II Was Concluded,
TRIAL FINISHED IN SIX HOURS

NEW YORK, July "a, A London dis
patch to the Times quite lengthily
quotes Justice Vernon NJ, Davis OF the
New York supreme Court on the ditfe,-
ence between American aud English
criminal trials, to the dispaagcment Of
the former. Justice Davis, il will be
remembered, presided at the second
trial OF Nan Patterson, the chorus girl
for the murder OF Caesar Young, the
tnrfMan His remarks followed his
witnessing in the Central Criminal
Court, London. the trial OF John Smith
and Chicago May Churchill for the
attempted murder OF Edward Guerin, OF
Devils Island fame, Justice Davis sat
on the bench with Mr., Justice DAZZLING
and saw Smith sentenced to HE impris-
onment and the Churchill woman to Is
ears Imprisonment in trial OF scarce
ly six hours,
Justice Davis was asked ii he thought
such Il speedy trial would be possible in
America. To this question Justice Do.
Wis replied; d;--"Not under the present
circumstances There are two princi-
pal considerations which initiate against
such celerity, The first OF these is in
connection with the selection of the
jury. Everyone In America irads the
rewspapcrs-not one, but many When
u sensational ease arises the papers deal
with the whole mater in the minutest
detail long before the case is called Be
cause OF that il is almost impossible to
get together Il men who have not stu
died the ease ard reached Il Judgment
uniting them for service n, jurors.
How different here in England. To,
days case had all the elements OF
a sensation yet the jury was selected
in exactly two minutes. lu my opin-
ion the only way to meet the jury prob.
lem in the United States i. to permit
the presiding magistrate to select the
jury with of course, the advice OF coun.
sel in tho cas-.
Undoubtedly, however the chief tac-
tor in expediting trials here is the alb
sence OF apeals. This does away with
the constant Interruptions arising ont
counsel
"The chief purpose OF the objections
is, OF course, to obtain material for o
successful appeal. As there is no ap.
pellate division here there are practical
ly no objections and the trial proceeds
rapidly and smoothly"
