YAKING THU OATH BEFORE PRACTICING IN
TBK COURTS.
The Tribune's special says Francis
liraitu, ot Alexandria, formerly a partl
ci- nat tu the rebellion, who has lately
received pardon from the President, de
livered h long and elaborate argument
before Judge Underwood, of the U. S.
Ouart of Virginia, endeavoring to prove
hii pre-rent entire legal ability to practice
law iu any Court in the Union without
taking the ordinary oath prescribed by
law, t > the effect tnat he had never sym
pathized. wiih or aided enemies of the
United States. Smith asserts that he can
nc-t cr nsoientiously take the oath, and that
the President removed all the pains and
penalties of his apostasy.
Judge Chandler, Attorney General of
tbe li.ate, will reply to-morrow, and will
aes’imo that the Courts hold the right to
decide his claim to practice before them
as they ihtnlt proper.

THE WIEZ TRIAL.
Wabhingiok, Sept. 27. — The Commis
sion reassembled to-day. The examina
tion of Col. Fourin was resumed from
yesterday for defense. Mr. Baker asked
him whether he heard Gen Cobb in his
speech at Andersonville make use of (he
remark attributed to him by witness.
Judge Advocate objected to the question,
for reasons whioh be stated. Objection
sustained by the court.
Tbe witness then testified that he had
heard Gen. Cobb make a speech about
the first of March, 1866. He oould not
preoieely repeat what the Qeneral had
said, but his speeok was more to the
Confederate troops than to others, as
there had been great dissatisfaction in
oamp, and men were constantly deserting.
He insisted that soldiers should do their
duty.
Question by Mr. Baker—Die you or not,
at that time, hear Geu. Cobb make ueu of
any language—
Judge Advooate Chiptuan here inter
rupted Mr. Baker, and requested the
question to be reduced to writing, and
that witness should retire, whioh he did.
Mr. Baker—l regard this proceeding as
a personal insult to me.
Col. Cbipman replied that the practice
was not usual, and it was a greater insult
for counsel to insist on asking improper
questions.
Mr. Baker—Witnesses tor the Govern
ment have been examined, day in and
day out, in the presence ot one another,
but now that they are for the defense,
counsel are required to reduce their ques
tions to writing, and their witnesses or
dered to retire till this is dona If this
is insisted upon by the Court, 1 must slop.
The Court remarked mat Mr B took
an unfair view of the Subject. Ths Judge
Advooate did not ask him to put all of
his questions in writing, but only this one.
Mr. Baker—l never required this when
witnesses for tha Government were under
examination
Col. Cbipmau—lf you did not do your
duty, that is uo reason why I should not
do mine.
Court to Mr Baker—State what you
want
Mr Baker—l must reply to the Judge
Advocate
Court—We do not want any speeches
here. Let the room bo e'eared.
When tha doors were reopened the wit
ness came iu, and the President of Court
read troni DeHart’s Military Law to show
that tbs Judge Advocate was justified in
tba course he had taken Beanies, when
thu Judge Advooate atuio.pated a question
of a leading character he had a right to
ri.qutro that the question be reduced to
wni.iog and submitted to him. He was
right either ia asking that the room be
cleaved, or that the wiines3 temporarily
retire
Mr. Bskei—To that I have no objec
tion, it ho will give notice that be will
make the request for tbe questions to be
reduced to writing aud the witnesses to
recite The Judge Advocate ru&y suggest
as a gentleman—
The Court remarked that they would
take care of their own dignity and honor.
Mr. Baker—l do object to sending our
witness away.
Court—The questiou is very well set
tled.
Col Cnipuian—l said Col. Faurin will
please retire.
Mr Baker—l ssa the same civility 1
extended to you
Col. tJhipman—Have 1 uot done it ?
Mr. Baker—l do nut think so.
Mr. Baker waived hie question
