First, it appears by the testimony, that as soon as Mr. Browne left ThomasviUe, early in September, the accused, through bis agents, Messrs. Seward and Wright, who are joined in the first charge as his co-conspirators, inter fered with the contractor who was then lawful ly engaged under Mr. Browne’s orders in trans porting the cotton which had been turned over by Col. Kimball; and by threats of personal proceedings against him, induced him to de sist for the time from his work, and to go down to Savannah to report what obstacles be had encountered. Time being thus secured to Mr. Lamar, it further appears that be availed himself of it to make an appeal to the Trea sury Department, under date of Sept. 20tb. concerning this cotton, which appeal was on October 4th answered by the Acting Secretary of the Treasury, in a letter recognising the lawful possession by Mr. Browne of the prop erty, declining to take any specific action on whatever request Mr. Lamar may have made for orders to Mr. Browne concerning it, and notifying Mr. Lamar that “it has been decided to treat the property belonging to blockade- runoing companies as captured from the ene my, and that instructions to that effect have been transmitted to the agents of this Depart ment.” This letter was found among Mr. La mar’s papers, and would appear by an indorse ment in his handwriting ou the back of it, to have been received by him on October 9th. Whatever may have been the intention or expectaiion of Mr. Lamar unj^j^utdate as .o this cotton, it is certain ”ihe'Tct.inBtjB- intention SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, JANUARY 11. 1866. 133 which the accused in hia Illegal capacity as Pre sident of ao illegal corporation, in which captci y I he bad no right of actiou in any loyal Court, wta ! outnt-d •• the plaintiff, and which writ waa tub- r *r w eequeutly attempted to be used ea false evidence t A l — o! a pretended iuterpoaition ot military °*iet,0,J las., bought iorcee ol the Doited S.atea, by meaua ol a talae ; J f . * M.

And under cover of all these attacks, the prosecution contend that 1 it is shown that the conspiretora planned to steel i or in the vocabulary of the region, to “run off ” j cotton belonging to the United Si* es.

Milib^y Commissions exist and have juris diction if virtue of martii.l law, which exists St.ue of Georgia at the present icli has so existed where ever the United States have marched with- fr..ni the commencement of the he present time, and has continued pu-thimt its terri orv to the extent d'fay ttio-c armies. The exercise of ju- di8bd kijwritv is called into action by the vrj|l of ttret-ommanding Geutral. In such ex-.-rcise of judicial powers Military Commission is not confined to such cases as arc cognizable by a “Court Martial," techni cally so-called, because such Comminion is ex pressly called into existence fur the purpose of punishing such persons and sueb crimes as are Dot cognizable by Court MuriiuL lbe military Commission i* in no way bouod by the code ot laws ot tbe particular Sta'e, Tenitory, or Pro vince in wbicb tbe aimv finds its* It, nor is^ i*e jurisdiction confined to tbe cogn.zince ur punish meat only of sitah offences as ure specified in the penal statues ot tbe United Slates. To limit tbe jurisdiction ol a military Commission, which from its very nature la constituted for the purpose of preventing all wroDgs, so far aa lhe military power extends, to the pgnisbment only of such offences as are prohibited bv the Pepal Code of Congresa, is to take away all power from an army in the field to preserve good order among the popniation among whom tbe operations of suph army bring it, and render the command Dg gen- eral utterly powerlasa, either to protect the iuha- bitauta of the country from the outrage* ot 8 vic torious soldiery, or to protect the military ser vants of his Government or tbe property or any other tnteresu of his Government, from fraud violenoe or insult. The Penal Code of Congress consists of a few staiutea enacted for certain special purpose* in no wise adapted or intended for the Government of military Courts under tbe existenne of martial law. Aud in re spect to this question there is do difference be tween tbe case of our srmy occupying a proviuce of a toreign nation, or being in a district declared in insurrection within tbe limits of tbe United States. . The law by which a Military Commission is to regniat,? its judgment in tfca absence of an express written code, is the unwritten or common law of tbe army; wbicb consists in an application of the general principlea of law to the case in hand.-- rly general principle! of law is meant those prin ciples and deductions regulatmg society, wifich ere the highest result of human wisdom, and which form a science common to all countries and nations, and which underlie the particular codes of each civilized State. These principles are to be applid according to the oath administered to the Court on its organ ization, in ease of “any doubt arising not ex plained in the Bales and Articles of War, ac cording to your consciences, tbe best of your understanding, and the custom of w>r in like oases.’* So far a* the ease in hand Is provide-i for by tb* Kules and Regulations of tbe Army, they mast, of aourse, govern; bat in other oases, the cuetome or unwritten law of the army mast govern. (See General Orders of tbe War Department, No. 100, of the series of-^63. {a- stractions for the government of armies nf the United States in tbe field. Sections 1, 6, 13.) Tbe deffoition of a conspiracy, given in Green- leaf, and whloh is an admirable expression of the general principle of law on the subject, is this: “A combination between two or more persons to do an unlawful act; or to do ao act in l self lawful, by unlawful means." Having thus shown that there is an offence al leged in the first charge, of which this Commis sion has jurisdiction, we proceed to review the testimony l n support of tbit eba ge. It appears in evidence that almost imm* iiataly after receiving, on Oct. 9tb, the letter of the Secretary of the Treasury, written on Oc*. 4'h, Mr. Lamar, 8r., In defiance of tho decision of the Government, as communicated to him in that letter, prooeeded to TnnmasviUe nnd its neighbor hood, and them, in combination with his nephew smoothers, made an attempt with partial suc cess, to appropriate to himself cotton embraced in the decision of the Secretary, and to embarrass the aofion pf tb* official! of the United States concerning tb* cotton to whloh that decision ap plied. It to not proposed by the prosecution to recite the testimony. The prosecution regards it as established by plenary proof, that a conspira*. oy was formed between the sconced and his nephew, G B Lamar, Jr, and Maasrs. Seward and Wright, their agent* nnd legal advisers, to effect these objects; and that in the soopo and execu tion of tbe conspiracy were embraced: tho harrasslng of the Treasury officers by notices Served on wambouifiBSQ npt to deliver Govern ment cotton; end notices served 9B railroad companies nol (o transport Government eet- too; and finally, by the sneiog out, through Messrs. Seward and Wiigbt, in direct de fiance of military warping and prohibi tion , of a writ 1 ) {fog £ 1 Ge-rria Court, shoi ily afterwards returned to his borne in Sevan- uab, but lett bis nephew at Thomaaville, aud left with him a list of Uo7 bales of cotton “to be haul- I ed aud abipped ” These lists oi cotton here been pat into thd case, aud certain coincidences oi marks and num ber* of bales, between these liata.have been com mented upon by the counsel for the accused, tad also by lbe counsel lor the pro?-«u'.lon. These lists are, Firet. A list of 830 bales of cotton claim ed by Mr. G. B Lamar, Sr., to be bis individatl property, but without auy evidences of property iu ibe shape ot -waranouae receipts or otnerwiae, accompanying the list. This list bears an en dorsement frum Mai. Gen. S'.eedman, dated Oct. 2d, “permission is given -ur. Lamar to ship the wnhin described lots of cotton, Treasury Jtegu- latione being complied, with," not one Dale ot which oottou, aa appear* by the testimony, waa held by Mr. Browne aa private property of Mr. Lamar. Second. Tbe list of 2190 bales ot cotton rendered by .«ir. G. B. Lamar, Sr., to Major General Steedma , as properly of the Importing and Exporting Company, and bearing an indorse ment from Major Geueral Steadman, dated Oct. 12lb, directing this property to b* turned over by v aj. Geo. Branoan to Mr. 'Browne, Supervising Special Agent of the Treasury Department Third. Tbe liat of 957 bales oi cotton, which list is in the handwriting ot Mr. G. B. Lunar, Sr , and appears by tbe testimony end by in* in dorsement on the envelope in wblca it was con tained, to have beeu left by him at Thomaaville on October 28tb, with G. B. Lamar, Jr., entitled “List ol Cotton to be hauled and abipped.” There are certain coincidence* between lot* on tbe first list and the second list, indicating that Mr. Lamar letnrned two or three lots to Gen. Steeuinao, in the one oase as his individual property, and in tha other ease es property of the Importing and Exporting Company. To tboee ooincidenoee on these two lists tb* prosecution attach no sueeial importance. The view nf the prosecution concerning them was concisely ex- protsed by Mr. Browne, jr., when on his cross ex amination by the counsel for the prisoner, he Eai I: “I never supposed thoee coincidences to in dicate tiuudoo the part ot M . Lamar, but only a aonfusion of accounts and reoords It waa pre cisely on account of suoh confusions that the Treasury Department reserved to itself the ques tion of releaies of cotton to claimaafS, not giving its Agents any power in the premises," There are certain other ooiooidenoev, however, between the second list and tbe third list, and between Ibe third list and tb* books of the Im porting and Exporting Company, to whloh the prosecution do attach great and special impor tance, as indicating ibe plain intention of Mr. G. B. Lamar to steal the cotton of tbe Importing and Exporting Company f'om the United States, after b«vii>g bven fully notified by letters from tbs So- ~ l * w — ' r r.-“. — that the cotton of that cretarj 111 HIWMlIe^asM^-v a-.-.-. .. i.. Company was held by the UulimnMMea own properly by the right of capture. And it was these other coincidences now to be minutely presented, and which the prosecution oontend afford clear proof of Mr. Lamar’s Inten tion to steal Government cotton, whioh Mr Browne, jr., meant to exolude from hja remarks above quoted, when (quoting again tbe words of his testimony) he said : “My remarks with regarJ to those two lisle referred to the ooincidei o a betaeen tbe two lists furnished by Mr. Limar to General Steadman, and do not refer to tbe ooinridenees with the list of botton to be hauled and ehippel-” To enms of these latter ooiooidenoes the prose ootion esk the attention of tha Commission, a. follows : portirg Company of Georgia, front Joseph Lippaan."
