lowing written plea to tho jurisdiction of
this court i
1. Tho ch.trg03 involve high and infa
mous crimes, and the Constitution of tho
United States expressly ptovi.des that no
porson shall he held' to answer for a capi
tal or otherwise infamous crime unless 011
a presentment or indictment by a grand
jury, except in eases ariiin from the lantl
or naval forces, or in tho militia, when in
active scrvico in timo of War or public
jj danger. (Amendment Court. Art. 5)
And again : ,fIn all criminal cases the
,prisonct (.ball enjoy the right of a speedy
public trial by an impartial jury of tho
Stato and district where the 'crime shall
hive been committed (Amendment to
the Const. Art. C.)
These provisions were adopted after
the organization of the Government of tho
Unitid States under tho Constitution and
for the purpose of placlug tho trial by
jury entirely beyond tho power of Con
gress and all other bodies of tho Govern
ment. Tho Constitution, as origionally
adopted, contained tho following provis
ions on tho subject : "Tho trial of all
crime?, cscopt in eases of impeachment,
shall bu by jury ; and euch trial shall be
held in tho Sta',e where such crimo shall
have been committed." (Art. 4, Sec. 2,)
So jealous were tho peoplo of tho right in
i (ue.-tioii that they required tho amend-
I meut quotud, notwithstanding the origiual
', provision.

Tho old common law aud great statute.'
of England, broujht over with then! by
tho founder.! of KuglUb colonies, and io
forco at tho time of iho adoption of the
Constitution of tlio United Stales, uxelu
tied all other modes of trial of acy citizen
not in the military commission. Sir. Ju
.tice Story, as already cited, expressly ap
peals to and quotes Magna Charta uroi
this point and iu support of this position
The DUth chapter of this great tct is as
fellows :
S'.No frcoman shall be taki-n or impm
oucd, or disseized or out! wo.!, or bftuiih
cd, ot in any way. destroyed ; nor wil1 wi
pass upon him unless by the lawliii j- de
ment of his peers, or by the law the
land."
"The judgment of his peer?," la-re allu
ded to, says Story, "is the trial by jury,
who aro called tho peers of tho paity ac
cused, being of like condition and equal.''
lie also expressly sajs :
"When our more immediate nncustnr.5
removed to America . thev brought this
great privilege with theiu, as their hiith
right aud lnltotiianco, 113 a purt ot tiiai
admircble eommou law which had fenced
round and interposed bnrricn! o:t every
sido against the approat-hes of arbitrary
power." P. 1779.
But this denial of any other form t
trial, and especially that by military cem
missions, was asserted in the WMition of
llights" passed in the third year of Ohailc
the First. It is therein cu-ictid anil es
tablished, "That no man of what state or
condition should be put out of his "l.-tn'd-or
tenements, nor taken, nor impiisoned,
nor disinheiited, nor put to death without
due process of law."
And in speaking of tho commissioni.
aforesaid, tho act usoth tho follow irg
terms :
"Whieh commissions, aud all others ol
like nature, aro wholly and directly con
trary to the said law and ttatutcs of the
realm." !
iluil bilL-i, it is tho duty of tho judges to
have nil uch persons discharged on taking
tho oath of allegiance end giving bond if
required.
The thirl reotiou provides that all par
bens so held and not reported, shall be
entitled to a discharge in tho Bailie man
tier as is provided iii thu second sccliou,
after a failure on the part of tho proper
Graud Jury to indict him.
Here are air tho sections of this act
which boar on tho question, :nid it will bo
seen that w.hilo they contomplal.i and
sanction military arrests, thioy da not
countcnancr or authoiizc militiiry trials
Ou llio contrary thoy fairly' discount
nunco tbuni.
The President's proclamation based on
this act, limits tho suspdnsion of the habeas
corpus to persons nmccdublo to military
law, or to the rules and articles of war,
itc. No order Is contained in lit is pro
clama'ion in regard to trials, aud the
inference is irrcsiattible that the proper
courts s.vo left to act uudcr tho rules of
law, upon that sul jeot, aud theso aro too
well defined to requh'S comment. Civil
e.ourU try offences against the laws com
mitted by citizens. Military courts and
eomitiissions try such as arc subject to tho
rules aud article:; of wir, and tbo defend

Vashiugtdu, October 2-1, 180-1.
It is understood hero that tho report of
tho Secretary ol War to Congress wilf
ouibi.'ieo thu substance of a very important
communication upon the the subject of tho
conscription net, which has been address
ed to Mr. Kmutoti by Provost Marshal
Pry. It is staled that this docunierit
claims that tho present Conscription law
is uot only :t failure in producing the right
li'md of men, but is a monstrcus expeuso
not only to the government, bul to indi
viduals, cities, counties, and townships.
General Fry urges that tho law should bo
amended, not allowing substitutes, and
compelling ihc personal service of every
mau, ua matter what bis situation, as soon
as ho is drafted . It is found that tho las'
call for five hundred thousand men has
probably not added to our armies moro
than one hundred thousand. Tho class
recruited aro, in a groat degree, jailbirds,
foreigners, and vagaboudaj who desert
whenever they can, and a very largo num
ber havo found their way '.iuto the rebel
ranks. It ts supposed that tho cost to in
dividuals and localities of tho lato draft
will amount to not less than one hundred
and fifty millions of dollars.whiU tho mon
reciuited at this cuormdus tost aro worth
little or nothing to our army. It is under
stood that the Secretary of War will re
commend to Congress the abolition of the
right to proeuro bubstitutoa, and tho fifty
day notice, so that hereafter the nicn
drawn will bo promptly put into the ranks.
Three hundred thousand moro men will
be needed for tho prosecution of tho
campaign,if it is deemed advisablo to keep
up our armies to their present standard,
for the rca'on that at least one hundred
and fifty thousand veteran troops will
leave the service beforo next May. It is
found that as our army is pushed into tho
tho touthern territory a greater number of
men are needed to cover tho enormous ex
tent of our lines. Hence it is almost cer
tain,sho.ild Mr. Lincoln be ro clodtcd,and
there bo no prospect of poaco,as there will
bo none in tho event of his re-election, a
peremptory draft for three hundred thous
and men will ho mado as early as tho firs't
of January. Congress will bo willing to
adopt the rccduiincndatiocs of the Secra
tary of Var,as there will bo no important
election lor two years. It will bo remom-
Lered that the Military Committee of both
theJSonato and House strongly urged tho
striking out of tho substitute clauso in tho
last Congress. It was also the earnest
wish of tho War Department an'd tho Pro-vost-Maishal
General The ponding elec
tion, however, compelled tho Republican
congressmen to insert the provisions allow
ing fifty days recruiting beforo tbo enforce
ment of the draft, and permitting tho uso
of substitute?.
O&r The condition of our finances', thd
depreciation of the paper uioncv, and, tho
burdens thereby imposed on labor and
capital, show the necessity of a return to a
sound financial system, wbilo the rights of
citizens and tho rights of States, and the
