OPINION 01P. THE COURT, SEPT. 9, 1863.
OADWALADER,‘,T.—The provost marshal of the
proper district returns to the habeas corpus that the
petitioner was duly drafted and notified ; appeared
before the Board of Enrolment asking exemption as
the only son of a widow dependent on his labor for
support ; was duly heard upon his allegation and
evidence, and that his claim of exemption was
finally disallowed ; that -he subsequently appeared
and reported himself for duty, received hie uniform ;
asked and obtained leave of absence for a time not
quite expired when the return wee matte; and,
though not in the respondent's actual custody, was
still under his control. •
No. - question as to the effect of the occurrences
posterior to 'the disallowance of the claim of ex
emption is;property raised by this return. These
occurrences are nut so stated in it that a traverse of
them is necessary, Whether proof of them will
- ultimately be receivable against the petitioner, if
proofs on Ma part of his alleged right shall have been
admitted in the first Instance, may be a question to
arise hereafter, In the meantime, the question of the
sufficiency of such a statement of these occurrences
in a return is difterent. Aspects of mere submission
to military authority, where obedience would have
been compellable, they can add nothing to the effect
otherwise attributable to the decision of the board.
His teihtforitry acquiescence in it was no waiver of
right. But, it the occurrences are mentioned for the
purpose of showing that, notwithstanding his previ- '
ous claim of exemption, he afterwards waived any
right of exemption that he may have had, so as volun- •
larilyito become a soldier under the draft, the voluntary
waiver should have been directly averred. a re
turn, a statement of occurrences merely tending,
more or less, to prove such a fact, is not of equivalent
effect. Sometimes, indeed, a fact consists of a series
Of connected, or mutually dependent, occurrences.
They may then be stated in detail. But such a epe
cification of the details of a fact Is different from a
mere specification of evidence, tending to prove it.
The proposition, or fact, relied on, whether stated,
in detail, or in that general form which is ordinarily
more proper, should be set forth substantively, so
that the statement, if true, shall absolutely suffice in
law. The occurrences mentioned in this lattterpart
of the return, under the most favorable view of it,
may, or may not, independently of those previously'
stated, suffice to establish a waiver of right, This
part of the return, therefore, does not require a
traverse. The objections to it might not apply to
returns Uroperly.framed in order to meet cases of
draftedthen who, after proper notice, have omitted
to appear before the Board and claim exemption, or
of those appearing and claiming it, but omitting to
comply with proper regulations of the Board, of
which sufficient information has been given. To
cases of drafted men who, after the Board's disal
lowance of their claims of exemption, have had fair
time and opportunity to obtain elsewhere the judicial
investigation ot their alleged rights of exemption,
and have not availed themselves of such opportu
nity, returns, might . perhaps be so adapted as to pre
vent unnecessary judicial interference with con
summated military organizations embracing such
parties. '
The question upon the return is whether the Mili
tary Board's disallowance of the claim of exemption
Must be traversed; in other words, whether this
Board's decision that there was nojight of exemp
tion inquiry iniry here as to the existence of
the right . This question depends upon the effect of
the fourteenth section of the act of 3d March, 1863,
eh. 76 which enacts "That all persons drafted and
claiming exemption from military duty on account of
disability, or any other cause, shalt present their
claims to be exempted to the Board, whose decision
shall be final." Cognizance of the application for
exemption, if taken, mutt be judigial, however 'spe
cial the jurisdiction or summary the proceeding.
The point in -question is whether the decision
is or is not conclusive elsewhere as to the right
of exemption. This depends on the effect of
the word final. It certainly- imports that the
decision en the Board shall not undergo exe
cutive or other revision. The decision is, rela
tively to military jurisdiction, conclusive as well as
final. Therefore a decision of the Board in favor of
the claim of exemption, is necessarily conclusive as
to the right of exemption. The question will be
whether the effect of the word should be extended
so as to' 'make a decision against the claim equally
conclusive against the right. The consideration of
this question will involve the inquiry whether an
enactment that the decision of such a tribunal
shall be thes conclusive, would be constitutional,
The act of 3d March, 1863, has provided for the or
ganization of an exclusively national military force
by enrolment, draft, and, where necessary, impress
ment ; that is to say, compulsion to serve. The
words of this act, whioh might otherwise be of doubt
ful import, must be interpreted so that usurpation
Of power, beyond the legislative authority conferred
by the Constitution, may not be unnecessarily ime
puted to Congress, The cas e has been commendably
argued on this point, upon the words of the Consti
tution • and of the statute, without any such refe•
renews to Congressional debates, or to debates of
those who drafted the Constitution, or of those who
proposed or discussed its early amendment, as, of late,
nave, perhaps, been too frequent. Such references to
extrinsic n,n trer, it is true, are hot always improper.
They are meld Ire es of legal assistance in explain
ing the me aide g of words which are to be interpreted.
This meaning may depend upon some relation of the
words to occurrences of which historical memorials
aie pzeseived in the reports of cotemporaneous
CUSBiOneri Where, moreover, the: meaning of p
word is doubtful, or has undergone change since the
date of its use, the language of such diacusaionso
may - sometime serve, in some degree, the pur
pose of a glossary. Such cases are, however, not
exceptions from, but, onthe contrary, exemplify the
rule that the intention is ascertainable from the
lords only, Under this rule the proper inquiry is,
not what may, from extrinsic _sources, appear to
have been intended by the men whose words are in
question, but what was the legal meaning and ap
plication of the words when med. The rule applies

musts. This Coneticlition was, when finished by
its framers, as Ordei Justice Marshall said, a
mere propsal, without- obligation or pretension to
it,” (4 Wheaton, 404) We read in the subsequent
proposal by the first Congress of amendments that the
4:lonventions of a number of the States had, in
.adopting the Constitution, expressed( a desire for
"declaratory and restrictive" additione (1 St. U. S.
97) ; and ()Mei . Justice Marshall has reminded us
that almost every Convention had recommended-such
amendments (7 Pet. 250). The omission to- specify
which amendments were, declaratory and which re
strictive enabled persons who differed most widely in
opinion as to the effect of the original Constitution
to concur in edopting ten of the _series - . of amend
ments proposed. Otherwise they would not have
been adopted. The hope of reconciling the differ
enced of opinion was in future judicial decision upon
the Constitution and amendments without any con
aideration of extrinsic matters.
The powers conferred by the Constitution upon
Congress to raise and support armies, and make rule r
for theit governMent, are distinct from the powers
which are conferred in it as to the militia of the re-
spective States. Until the act in question, the na
tional armies bad been raised by voluntary enlist
ment,
The system of enrolment and draft had long been
matured as to the militia of the States. But, until
the summer 0f1862, the utmost penalty for not serv
ing when drafted irom ouch militia for the service
of the United States had been pecuniary, with a li
mited imprisonment for non-payment. The act of
Congress of 17th July, 1862, authorized impressment
into the military service of the United States of
those persona drafted from the militia under
that act, who, when ordered to, - attend at the
place of muster, disobeyed. The specific power
of impressment had not been previously confer.
red. But, under the former system, though the
fine for not Eery ng had, when received, been con
sidered an equivalent for service, the payment had
nevertheless been enforced, or the penalty of impri
sonment inflicted by courts martial, when the money
was not otherwise collected. The constitutionality
of this former jurisdiction of courts martial may be
considered established (5 Wheaton 1.) It would not
have peen constitutional if disobedience to attend at a
place of muster had not been a military offence. Clore.
grews, unless it had the power of absolutely sobjeot
ing
a'drafted person to military rule from the time
of the draft, could not have thus made hie disobedi
ence before he was mustered into service a military
offence. The act of Congress of 1795, which fixed the
time of arrival at the place of rendezVous as the
period of the commencement of the military service,
might, constitutionally, in the opinion of the Su
preme Court, have made the time of draft the
period, (5 Wheaton, 17, 18, 20, and see pp.,36, 37, 56,
64, 65.) ,The constitutionality of the act lathe Suly,
1862, when the question was considered here in
March last, in McCall's case, appeared, therefore, to
be established by authority. If the question had
been thought an open one, the same view of the ef
fect of the Conatitution would have been taken. •
The act of 3d March, 1863, has adopted a like sys
tem on an extended scale, for thepurpotte of raising
national armies independently of the militi&of the
States. Under the former laws which have been
mentioned, a question such as that now under con
sideration could not arise. The question under
those laws could only have been that of a military
court's exercise of jurisdiction over a person, who,
having been lawfully drafted, already owed military
service. There could not have been any dispute
that the primary question whether he had been
lawfully drafted, or was liable to serve, wine:yen
to decision by the ordinary tribunals under a writ
of habeas corpus. Here, however, the question is
whether a military commission can so decide the
original question of liability to serve, as absolutely
to deprive all other tribunals of cognizance of it.
The enetetmeun of the law in question are not so
arranged that its provisions for the preparatory en
rolment, and those for the draft, are always seen
- rated. They must, however, be kept distinct when
they are considered with reference to the Constitu
tion. The moat unlimited system-of mere enrol
ment could not be constitutionally objectionable;'
but a system of drafting might be arbitrary and lati
tudinarian to such- an extent as to encroach upon
constitutional rights. That the framers of the Con
• stitution had inherited the parent nation's jealousy
of the poWer to raise and support armies, ap
• pears from the prohibition to appropriate money
to that use for a longer term than two years.,
The constitutional authority to enact the law
which is under consideration was derived ex
clusively from this power to raise armies. It
cannot be enlarged under the authority which the
Constitution also confers to make all laws necessary
and proper for carrying the powers delegated, this
one included, into execution. This incidental au
thority cannot extend beyond the limits of the
• principal power. A government previously "re
publican, whose armies are, upon executive requisi
tion, to be, raised under a system of draft and im
pressment administered Without any restriction as
to persons Hale to serve, and without any limitatton
of the time of service, may, at the will of the chief
Executive Magistrate, become 'an established mili
tary Government. The Constitution guarantees to
every State a republican form of government. The
Supreme Coert have said that a military govern
ment, permanently established' in -.a State, would
not be republican, and that "it would:be the duty
of Congress to overthrow it," (7 How. 45) Con
gress, of course, could not establish such a govern
ment for the whole country.
The general provisions of the act are not unconsti
tutional. Those who are liable to do military duty
under it are, In the first instance, described ae all
able-bodied male citizens, and persons of foreign
birth who have duly declared their intentions to be
come citizens, between the ages of twenty and forty
- five years, except persons rejected as physically or
mentally unlit, and those exempted under seven
other enumerated' heads; the first including desig
nated magistrates and other principal officers of the
United States, and the others including respectively
the private potions, whose rignts of exemption are
specified. One of them is the only son liable to
military duty of a widow dependent upon his
, labor for support. .No persona not thus excepted
are to be exempt; but no person convicted of
any felony can be enrolled, or permitted to
serve. The preparatory enrolment is Meanie', to be
made in the present year, and hereafter in each al
ternate year, and to embrace those only whose ages
will be, on the Ist of July in every year in which it
is made, between twenty and forty-five years. They
are to be enrolled in two separate clauses, the first
comprising all between the ages of 'twenty and
thirty-five year's, and all who areabove the age-of
thirty-five and unmarried; the second class, com
prising all other persons liable. to do mili
tary duty t. and those in the second class are
not, in any district, to be called into service until
those of the first' class shall have been called.
All persons thus - enrolled are subject for two
years after the first of July succeeding the enrol
ment, to be called into military service and to con
tinue in it during the present rebellion, not how
ever exceeding the term of three years. The Presi
dent is authorized, whenever it may be necessary to
call them out for such service, to assign to every en
rolment district its quota of men to be furnished.
In doing so, he is to take into consideration the
number of volunteers and militia furnished by and
from the respective States, and thepericid of their
service since the commencement of the rebellion,
and is teeequalize the respective quotas by allowing
for the numbers thus already furnished and the
time of their service. Upon ouch requisition of the
President, a draft is to be made, under his direction,
of the required number, and fifty per cent. in addition,
A. roll of the names hus drawn, upon which they
are to stand in the order in which drafted, is then
to be made. The persons drafted are to be notified
within ten days thereafter, and required to report at
the rendezvous for duty. Provision is made for the
acceptance of substitutes, and for the receipt of such
commutation money as exempts those paying it,
and enables the Secretary of War to procure substi
tutes for them. Provision is also made for the hear
ing and decision of claims of exemption; an I it is
enacted " that as soon as the required number of
able-bodied men liable to do military duty shall be
obtained from the list of those drafted, the remain
der shall be discharged."
This review of the principal enactments of the law
suffices to indicate ite general purposes. The orga
nization of armies under it is to cease on the termi
nation of the civil war for whose exigencies it pro
video; and the term of service of those 'drafted under
it cannot exceed three years,though the war should
continue longer. Such limitations of the time would
have prevented the compulsory requirement of mi
litary service from being unconstitutional, though it
had included every able-bodied male inhabitant.
The administrative regulations of the law will next
be considered. '
The commission appointed for every enrolment
district to execute the provisions of the act is de
signated in one section of it as the enrolling board,
and, in other sections as the board of enrolment.
Bielmtal primary rolls, made by subordinate officers
in the respective districts and sub-dietricts, having
been reported to the board, are biennially consoli
dated into one list for eardi district. Of this list a
copy is transmitted to the Provost Marshal Gene
ral. The designation of the commission as the
board of enrolment is referable not merely to these
two stages of that preparatory enrolment, but also
to the subsequent roll of the persons who have been
drafted, This roll of drafted persons the board is
required to melee. The word enrolment, when used
without any qualification, is, however,- ordinarily
understood as applicable only to the preparatory
enrolment which must precede any draft.
The provisions of the 14th section, requiring
the presentation of all claims of exemption to the
board, and making its decision final, have been
quoted. They do not apply to such a case of a per
son improperly drafted as depends neither, upon a
question of disability, nor upon one of exemption for
any other specified cause. This opinion was acted
upon in the eases of Stingle and of .Robinson. Silo
gle was drafted as enrolled in the first class. He al
leged that he belonged to the second, which is com
posed of persons not exempt, but not as yet liable
to be called into service. Robinson was a person
liable to enrolment in the first class. But on the en
rolinent from which he was dratted, his name and
occupation were entered incorrectly. The decisions
of theo respective boards of enrolment had been that
these parties were liable to serve. Both cases were
very fully argued, as the present - case has also been.
Stingle has been allowed to adduce proofs in sup
port of his allegation that he was improperly en
rolled in the first class. Robinson has been dis
charged from military restraint. The same decision
was made in Tilghman's case, where a resident of
one subdistrict, when sojourning in another, had
been enrolled and drafted in the latter. These'deci
sions do not affect the present question otherwise
than as they may circumscribe it within ascertained
limits.
Executive instructions and regulations have been
greatly multiplied under authorities conferred by
this act, and under assumed authorities which it
has not conferred. These executive mandates,
where authorized, have doubtless promoted various
useful purposes, including that of securing a desira
ble uniformity throughout the United States, in the
course and modes of proceeding under the act. The
sixth section requires "the Provost Marshal Gene.
I al, with the approval of the Secretary of War, to
make rules and regulations for the government of
his subordinates," and perform other specified acts;
among theiff, "to furnish proper blanks and insfrue
lions for enrolling and drafting." Under these two
heads of enrolling and drafting, including their ad
ministrative incidents, executive instructions con
formable to the purposes of the set, and to the pro
visions of the sixth section, are not less binding
than if they had been contained in the act. Bat
come of- the Executive instructions have, with
out any warrant in the aot, assumed to regu
late the exercise of the board of enrol-.
mends duties as to applications for exemp
tion under the fourteenth section. The exercise of
this jurisdiction should be independent of regulation,
or other interference or supervision by any Execu
tive Department of the Government. Instructions
of the latter kind, therefore, can have no imperative
effect,` This remark applies to the instructions
which assume to regulate the practical course of pro
ceeding of the board ; and applies with greater force
to those which assume to furnish rules . for its dec . ',
sion upon questions of exemption. Some, or all, of
those instructions - Which apply merely to the course
of proceeding may, nevertheless, have been reasona
bly and properly adopted by the respective boards of
- enrolment as theirown rule of their procedure ; and,
through such adoption, may, after proper notice to
parties appearing to claim exemption, have become
regulations ormervable by such parties.
This independence of executive supervision or In
terference is neither less nor greater than that of an
ordinary court, martial after its organization, and
before its finding or sentence. Such independence
does not prevent the bosrd ; of enrolment,-even
.when administering its jurisdiction, under the 14th
section, from being - a mere military commission. Its
president is the provost marshal of the district,.
whim rank, pay, and emoluments are those of a
captain of cavalry, and who may, under the act,be
an officer of this rank specially detailed. That-such
an officer may be thus detailed, as a member, is con
clusive as to , the military character of
the .commission. The other members are the
erirgeon,i who is' also required by the act to
inspect the drafted men at the rendezvous, and re
port on.their physical condition ; and a third' person
who, in another set of Congress, passed on the same
day (chapter 19, section 9), is called a " citizen at
large." - - Under the latter act, the compensation of
these two members of the board is that of an assist
ant surgeon of the army. Under a subsequent Exe
cutive regulation, all the members of the board re
ceive their dues through the pay department of the,
army. The powers conferred on the board would
have been exerciseable with precisely the same legal
effect if Congress had conferred them upon any offi
cer of the army who might be from time to time
specially detailed as a sole commissioner.
The requirement in the 14th section that all claims
of exemption should be made , before such a poll
military commission is reasonable and convenient.
Dion- compliance with such a statutory provision,
and with seasonable regulations made by such com
missioners for carrying
it into execution, might per
haps preclude such an inquiry as the petitioner now
asks. But he has fulfilled the statutory condition;
and the question recurs whether the additional en
actment in the 14th section-that the decision of the
military commission shall be - final has precluded in
quiry here as to his right whicn was in question be
fore the board.
To the board's iwlepentlence of supervision, ivhich
rerembles that of ordinary courts.martial, this en
actment adds an independence of such executive re
vision,: as the proceedings of courts-martial and of
other military commissions ordinarily undergo.
Their findings and sentences do not ordinarily take
effect, even - provisionally, till after such revision.
The exigency of a legal application for the word
final is fulfilled when it is understood as meaning
not subject to such Executive revision. This makes 'it
conclusive so far as military jurisdiction can proper
ly extend. But even the word conclusive, if it had
been superadded in the act, would, perhaps, not
have made a decision against the claim conclusive
against the right. (6 Binney,ll2B ; see 5 Binney, 387;
9 Barr, 102.) Upon the word final the queation is
mare simple. There is no doubt that a decision
may, relatively to the proceeding in which it was
made, be final, and yet not conclusive elsewhere as
to the right which was in question. (See 2 Peters,
' 463; 4-Serg i & Raw., 211 x -212.)' This remark is appli-'
cable especially to such summary proCeedinge under
a special - jurisdiction as are those of this Board.._
The meaning of the word final in this enactment
must, of course, be thus qualified, if its effect would
otherwise be unconstitutional. The argument that
it would have been constitutional is that it would
have been so 3f no exemption from military service
had been specified in the act; that the exemptions
specified were therefore not of right'; that an army
might constitutionally have been raised, not by draft
or lot s but by selection ; that a power of absolute
selection might therefore have been directly con
ferred upon commissioners, or a commissioner; and
that the exemption in question, being consequently_
of mere grace, can be claimed only in the mode and
under the conditions imposed. This argument, if
analyzed, will appear not to meet the constitutional
difficulty.
The privilege of exemption is not the less of right
because it has been legislatively conferred, or be
cause it might have been altogether withheld. The
mere form of the legislative enactment through
which the immunity was obtained is, in this respect,
immaterial. The right is conferred in the law by
way of exception from a general enactment. This
form of legislation, whatever opinion the law givers
may. possibly have entertained, .cannot affect the
aubstantive character of the right, and therefore
cannotafiect the question'of constitutional power.
As to privileges pr immunities enjoyed through
powerg of government must be adminis
tered,constitutionally, and their execution must be
regulated in due subservience to judicial authority,
exercisable through the proper organs. No power,
otherwise unconstitutional, can, as qualifying rights,
privileges, or immunities, legislatively conferred or
vested, acquire validity through any legislative en-
nexation, express or implied, of a condition to their
enjoyment. Such a condition as would abrogate, or
abridge, the effect of a constitutional provision as to
the judicial power cannot be implied from any
"phraseology of the act in question.
If armies may constitutionally be raised by selec
tion, as distinguished from lot, the proposition is
- beeause, under such a system, the power
of selection would. be executive, and not, like that
in question, which is judicial. If such a power
should ever be conferred by Congress, its definite
character, the prescribed methods of its exercise, the
official character of those exercising it, and the
method of their appointment, might become subjects
of jtidicial consideration. .
Congress cannot constitutionally delegate its own
powers; but -may confer executive and judicial
'powers upon those reepectively who are, accord
ing to the Constitution, qualified for - their ex
erciee. Those qualified, except a single elan,
must be such - officers as are nominated to the
Senate, and - appointed with its consent. Those of
the excepted class are designated as inferior officeri.:
Their capacities must necessarily be tested and limit;
ed in every case, with' special relation to autho
cities which are, -according to the distribution of
the powers of government, superior. In the dis
tribution- of the judicial power, Congress may
establish inferior-Courte. But judges of aructecourts -
are not in the class of those inferior officarirwho
can be appointed or designated without reference to
the Senate. Therefore, independent judicial powers
could not be vested by Congrees- in such a commis
sion as this Board of Enrolment unless it itiregard
ed as a tribunal simply military. Thus regarded, it
can have no jurisdiction except over persons who
are already under military rule. Whether a person'
is or is not under such rule is a question which a
military tribunal may often have occasion to con
eider, and, so far as may concern its own pro
ceedings, •to decide. The tribunal may, or, may
not, be so organized that its decision, of such s ques.
tion is, relatively to military jurisdiction, final.
put; an act of Congress making such decision as to
the status of a citizen final, in such a sense as to pre
clude altogether judicial cognizance elsewhere of the
question, would not be constitutional. Such a law,
'`if thus'executed, would confer a judicial power not
warranted by the Constitution. Congress cannot
give to such a mere military commission, or to a
simple court-martial, any jurisdiction over a person
who is neither in military service, nor locally amena
ble to the military police of a territorial space pro
perly occupied for military purposes. Nor can (ion—
grebe confer upon ouch a special tribunal the power
of conclusive adjudication, whether a case is within
its own jurisdiction.
An argument in support of the return has been
that, as to persons drafted under this act, the 14th
section may, at a time like this, of rebellion, take
effect constitutionally by suspending- the privilege
of the writ of habeas corpus. If this had been the
intention of Congress, it might have been simply, and
would doubtless have been directly, expressed. An
intention to frustrate aright by indirectly suspending
a remedy is not imputable to Congress. Moreover,
- such legislation would not well comport with ano
-1 ther act passed on the same day, authorizing, dur
ing the rebellion, the suspension of-this privilege
by the President, but requiring a sworn return of a
detention in custody under hie authority. The
question of right is dependent more, perhaps, upon
the amendments to the Constitution than upon
that provision of the original instrument which
restricts the power to suspend this privilege.
If the point were attended with any difficulty,
the amendments might, in this respect, require full
consideration. But Ido not think it necessary.
The return does not require a traverse.
THE POLICE.
The Central Station
Therewere several cases brought up yesterday af
ternoon, at the Central Station, of parties who were
put under bail to await a hearing on the charges
preferred against them. It seems to be a hard case
that such a course is entirely legal. In many in
stances its practice may be all right, but to put it
into effect in abases weighs heavily on parties who
May be innocent. Yesterday afternoon a wOnloan
was arraigned for keeping a disorderly house in the
vicinity of Ninth and Lombard streets. The officer
arrested ail he could find in the house, consisting of
four other persons. The complainant. who had
gone to the mayor, and upon whose affidavit the
warrant was issued, was not present to prosecute.
The.parties were then ordered to enter bail to await
a hearing to take place this afternoon. Ball not be—
ing ready, a commitment was made out, which is
simply a passport to prison. Here we have an in
stance of a legal application of the law to do .a
wrong that should make the wise men who frame
laws blush. Though not a word was said against
the parties, yet all were cent to prison. They were,
of course, deprived of their liberty: It is more
than likely that at least, four of the five prisoners
will be discharged this afternoon. Some amend.
ment should be made to the law, that persona shall
not be sent to prison upon unsuitatned 'charges.
Of course, under the present system, the magistracy
of the city have a very simple duty to perform. It
was not the fault of the committing magistrate that
the parties above alluded to were sent to prison
yesterday. It is the fault of the laws.

A young man, named Starr Sperry, was arraigned
yesterday before the Recorder on the charge of
being a fugitive front judtice from New Haven,
Connecticut, where he stands charged with prae•
tieing deception upon a young lady of poor and re
spectable parents. His family are said to be rich.
A legal process was issued for his arrest in Con
necticut-; but he fled that State, and took refuge in
Maryland, Where he worked at the blacksmith busi
ness. The authorities, however, traced him, and
he, getting wind of the fact, came to Philadelphia,
and here he married a young lady. The authorities
having traced him to this city, the proper State pa
pers were obtained, and a warrant was issued by
the Recorder. Officers Trefts and' Barker, in com
pany with Deputy Sheriff David. Tucker, of New
Haven, and a brother of the yourr , lady, started in
company to arrest the fugitive. b They discovered
him coming out of an iron-railing manufactory on
the Ridge road yeaterday morning. He was con-
ducted to the Recorder's office, and admitted that
he was the party named, in the - official document.
In company with Deputy Sheriff Tucker he started
in the two o'clock train„ yesterday. afternoon for
New Haven. The crime alleged against him is a
felony in Oat State, the same as in Pennsylvania,
and, upon conviction, the prinoner may receive five
years imprisonment. - -

&c , they disposed of at the colored camp, at 'Mel
ton Hill. The young beginners in a life of crime were
sent to the House of Refuge.

Larceny
of Chinaware.
A man, giving the name of Robert Gilbreth, was
arraigned yesterday on the charge of stealing a lot
of chinaware from a hogshead on Delaware avenue,
below Tine - street. It seems the defendant was
walking along the avenue about six o'clock in the
morning. He had on his shoulder a basket contain
ing, twenty-two pieties. Officer Greene accosted
him, and the fellow gave equivocal answers as to
the possession of the goods. He was, therefore,
taken into custody. The prisoner was committed.
An owner is wanted at the Eleventh-ward station
house for the stolen articles.
