OrncE, Flint, Juno 15, '65. J
Hun E. M. tiftinfon, Secretary of War,
Wathinnton. I). C. :
Sir I have the lienor to acknowl
edge the receipt of your communication
ill' the 5th inst., requesting me to "ro.
i(uire of the civil officers of Dnlioit,
Mirhignn, to turn orer to the military
authorities at that place, in order that
tlx y may at once be brought to trial ho
lme a court martial, Lieutenant John
A. Schwartz and Lieutenant Arthur C.
Ellis, of the 2d regiment Veieran Ko-t-eive
corps, who are charged with the
homicide of one Wasso, a liack-dri.
vcr."
The facts in this case, as they have
becu represented to me, and substan.
tiullv these:
A number of officers on the ninht of
lhc homicide, were absent from the bar
rack;), either on leave of absence or oth-
i wise, and not on duty, and were in n
diinkiu saloon very late in the night.
While there, they made sonic arrange,
liient with the haekman referred to, to
carry them to the barracks, and after
wards declined going. The haekman
demurred at this, and became abusive,
and gathered together a number of oth.
it hackmen, threatening the officers.
At this, the officers went to Fireman's
Hall, where a guard of soldiers were
stationed, and, without any right to do
ho, ordered them into the street, where
Home djuVulty occurred between the
soldiers and hackmen. The one who
.was idiot jumped upon his hack and at.
tempted to drive off, when some one
pave the soldier orders to fire on him,
which they did, and he was shot from
bis seat and died soon after. As I un
derstand the affair, the officers had no
iiusiuess to call out the guard, as it was
not under their coutrol, and the soldiers
had no right to obey them under the eir.
cumstances. It was, in fact, nothing
lorc than a street row.
These lieutenants, together with pri
vate Bachcldor and five others, are now
held in custody by regular process of a
court having jurisdiction, charged with
the murder of said. Wasso, and the trial
of the case is set down in the Recorder's
Court of the city of Detroit, for Monday
the 10th inst.
Your request for the transfer of these
jnen iron) the custody of the civil offi
cers of the State to the military authori
ties at Detroit, necessarily iuvolves two
considerations : Have I the power to
comply with the request ; and if so,
would the exercise be polotio aud
wise?
I do not propose in this communica
tion to argue those questions, nor is it
necessary that I should do so, but siui
j.ly to state very plainly tho grounds up
on which I must decline to interfere ill
this case with the duo administration of
the civil laws of the State.
Although it bo adwittad that these
parties were and are officers, in tho mili
tary service of the United States, yet at
the time of the commission of the alleged
offense by them, neither of them were in
discharge of military duty. Tho homi.
cidc was committed, not within the lim
its of the camp, but in the streets of the
peaceful city of Detroit; and in no souse
and to no extent, iu this unfortunate af.
lair coinected with the army beyond the
simple fact that the acc-'cd wcio at the
time within tho military service of tho
United States. It was not an offense
ngainst the peace and sovereignty of the
United States.
Any principle or construction that
would exempt men from accountability
to the State of Michigan would exempt
i.ny person in the military sorvice of the
General Government tor accountability
to tho civil government for crimo com
mitted anywhere within the length and
breadth of tho United States.
Whether the provisions of tho act of
Congress, approved March 3, 1S63, era.
brace offenses committed by persons who
maybe in tho military scrvico of tho
United States, but who, at the time of
such commission, are not engaged on
military duty, is a point which it is un
jiecessary for ma to discuss or decide.
Conceding, however, that it does so
npply, it is pertectly plain to my mind
that military courts are not by law in
vested with tho exclusive jurisdiction of
certain crimes (among which are murder
and manslaughter), when committed by
pcrsonasin the military service.
It never could have been the inteution
t'f Congress that in timo of war, insurrec.
tion or rebellion, each and every person
in tho military service of tho I'nited
States, and subject to the articles of war,
hhould not be exempted from responibi.
lity to tho civil tribunals of the eouutry
for the crimes commit' id by him away
from cainps,and under circumstances in
no way connected with the discharge of
military duties.
But Buppo.se should deem it expedi
ent to grant your rcqust to tho effect that
I "require of tho civil officers of De.
troit, Michigan, to turn over to the uiili
( ivy authorities at that place, iu order
that they may be at ance brought to
i rial before a court martial," theno par
ties, I caunot find that I have any power
iimler tho Constitution aud laws of this
f-'cato to comply with such request The
rwuseJ are iu the custody of the law,
Mi J with its administration the Execu
live can in no way interfere. His
nwer is limited to that of pardon, which
rannot be exercised only after conviction.
iu cannot even direct or instruct a
j,iiecuting officer to eDter at nol'epru$
I -fui, and he cau in no way interfere
Vith the custody, prosecution aud trial
ct the- iiecu:;ed.
111! 1L JJL.l..ULft. lJii
In view of all tho faots in this case, it
does appear to mo that I have no power
to comply with your request, and that
if 1 had such power i3 exercise would be
impolitic aud unwise.
But supposing it bo true thnt tho au
thority of tho military tribunals of the
United States is exclusive, then tho
accused have through the ordinary course
of judicial proceedings a perfect defense
for their prosecution by tho State of
Michigan. They can plead this special,
ly, or in some way bring it before the
court aud if tho position is sound their
release is assured.
Should it de feared, as intimated in
vour communication, that in tins case
a lair and impartial trial cannot be had
before the civil tribunal, I would Bay
that very liberal provisions have been
made under our statutes iu reference to
the selection of jurors; the court in which
the trial is had may grant a new trial;
and after conviction, the defendants, if
they consider themselves aggrieved by
any opinion, direction of judgment of
tho court, may bring error.
Declining, therefore, to take any part
in this matter,
I am very respectfully, yours, etc.,
Hf.nky II. Crapo,
Governor of Michigan.

JBsgfOur readers, no doubt havo heard
of the murder which was committed in
the borough of St. Mary's, on the 24th
day of Juno last, but wo failed, until
now, to obtain a correct report. It
seems that somo parties went to the sa
loon of Charles Ilaut, in St. Mary's, on
tho night ot tho 21th, for tho purpose
of obtaining some beer, tho other sa
loons being closed, and wakened up
Ilaut, who came down, accompanied by
Joseph Kricg, the deceased, who was at
tho time boarding with Ilaut, and ad.
mitted tho parties, while they were ir.

ed with the murdci, came in and deman.
dod of Kricg. six dollars fjr some music
which ho had played there earlier in tho
evening, Kricg remarked that be
thought Hovack had been sufficiently
well paid for his music; having drank
beer free at the saloon all evening, saying
moreover that tho music was not worth
six cents. Hovack immediately struck
Kricg, who exclaimed that ho was stab

been stabbed in the superior portion of
the right breast, between tho second

Stamped Envelopes. The Po.st

method of supplying stamped envelopes
which we would recomuicnd to tho at

supplied iu two forms one simply
stamped, and the other stamped with
the addition of printed lines acro.s the
end of the envelope, giviug tho address
of the person sending the letter, and re.
questing its return if not called for with
in a certain specified time. These en
velopes are a great saving of time and
trouble, can bo furnished of any regular
size, and if spoilt in directing the post,
master of whom they aro procured will
redeem their valuo in postage stamps.
Thus there is no loss in any way, and
their cost is even less than envelopes
procured and stamped in the ordinary
manner. Wo recommend our business
men to look into the matter. The De.
partmcnt is quite desirous of having the
experiment succeed.

Manflcld's Dispensatory says that
most of tho Sarsaparilla of tho

in his writings on his drug states that
not only is it inert as found in the shops
but so also arc most of the preparations
from it, or bearing its name. He shows,
however, that this fact arises from the
use of worthless varieties, or unskilful
preparations by incompetent men ; that
the true Medical Sarsaparilla (Sarza

Bryant's "Song of Wooing."
Dost thou idly ask to hear
At what gentle seasons
Nymphs relent, when lovers near
Press the tenderest reasons ?
Ah, they give their faith too oft
To the careless wooer ;
Maidens' hearts are always soft,
Would that men' were truer !
Wo tho fail one, when around
Early birds are singing ;
When, o'er all the fragrant ground,
Early herbs ie springing :
When the brookside, bank aud grove,
All with blossoms laden,
Shine with beauty, breathe of love,
Woo the timid maiden.
Woo her, when, with rosy blush,
Summer eve is sinking ;
When, on rills that softly gush,
Stars are softly winking ;
When, through boughs that knit tho
bower,
Moonlight gleams are stealing;
Woo her, till the gentle hour
Wakes a gentler feeling.
Woo her when autumnal dyes
Tingo the woody mountain ;
When the drooping foliage lies
In the half cholked fountain;
Lc: the scene, that tells how last
Youth, is passing over,
Warn her, ere her bloom is past,
To secure her lover.
Woo her, when the north winds call
At the lattice nightly ;
When, within the cheerful hall,
Blaze the fagots brightly ;
While the wintry tempest round
Sweeps the landscape hoary,
Sweeter in her car shall sound
Lovo's delightful story.

OuALrry of Milk It is sometimes
forgotten that the last gill of milk drawn
from the cow's udder is the best part of
every milking. Careful experiments
made in England according to a report
published, prove that the quality of
cream obtained from the last cup taken
from most cows exceed that of tho first
in proportion of twelve to one. Tho
difference iu the quantity also is consid
erable. Hence a person who carelessly
leaves one pintunmilked loses in reality
a3 much cream as would be afforded by
six or eight pints at tho beginning, and
loses, too, that part of the cream which
gives tho richness and fhver to tho but
