Tbs Exercise* CoaaaaesnoieUve #r Sesey's MrtMsy The chapel at Wesleyan Female College, on Friday evening, spacious as it la, could not contain the large number of our citi- zens, who were drawn to it for the double season that a feast of literature and mel ody wa« in store, and booause the event was the birthday of one whose generous hand had raised grand old Wesleyan to magnifloent proportions and beauty. Every seat was filled long before the opening of the ontertainment, and soon the aisles were orowded, while on the out- eido were large numbers endeavoring to eee, if not to hear. During the day, Mr. Henry L. Jewett, secretary of the board of trustees, tele- apbed the following greeting to Mr. an honored name, intimatelr associated with our early naval history, and honored first with the rank of Commodore whale flinging to the battle and the breeze that country’s flag. Associated by marital eon- neotioo with the yews, of Georgia, with the Montgomerys, of Maryland, and Gallatin, the friend of Jefferson and oompeer of Madison, it is no marvel that bis patriotism is national, his character marked, his ambition com mendable, his purposes noble and his life asuocees. Aristotle tells us that a statue lies bid in a block of marble. The figure is in the stone. The sculptor only clears away the matter and finds it. We eee it sometimes begun to be chipped—some times we see the man outlined in limb and features. That flgpre has been found in the marble in the old family quarry, and the Phidias of destiny is fashioning it into a likeness of those whose character be typifies and whose virtues he emulates. Modest in disposition, gentle m deport ment, diligent in the pursuit of nsefol ob- aa^gg& , s«aasgg making a reputation and a name, desired possessed by but few.

Of such is George 1 Beney, of the city of Brooklyn, New York, the anniversary of whoae birth we celebrate today.

I accept it not in syeophantio adulation, ignoring the old state in a policy-assumed apprecia tion of the new, bnt in manly frankness and gratitude, because it is tendeied with tho oaracstneV* of sincerity by a noble phi lanthropist to his own people (ravaged by war, impoverished by revolution and puri fied by suffering) in their noble struggle t» msko the new life, if new you will have it, worthy of tho old one that gave ns charac ter in the past and is our surest guarantor for honorable dbtinotion in the future. Did I lick the hand that presented the of fering, I would discredit the benefaolion and dishonor the heart that prompted it. Tho magnanimity of tho aot is enhanced by the events that surrounded the benefac tor. The gift is borne by hands that wero uplifted against ns. It is received by hands who have beaten the sword into the plough share amid the acclaim of the people and the hearty ‘amen of the tribes.’ It was given without stipulations or requirements. It is accepted without reservation or de vice. God blees the donor and the dona tion, and may tbia offering of peace in spire among the people of the States a more catholic spirit and a closer union. ‘iBnt it is also a tribute to Methodism. The swelling bud—the blushing blossom, the unfolding flower—the return of the swallow and the song of the turtle indicate sot more plainly the coarse of the seasons and the coming of spring, than do his pri vate benefactions and publio charities de note the course and current of bis religions proclivities and feelings. Far back in the years his father ministered around the al tars Methodism had erected, whilo the good old mother—the impress of whose character is stamped in the life of the son —hymned her char ah’s touching songs of thanksgiving and praise. Catching these- cred fires that were kindled on those al tars, be has transmitted them, through etrife and division, to the altars of Soath- Methodism, where they now burn SgagaaSgBfca; awsgyro'sia elmroh riven, and its golden chords of union rudely broken—separate organiza- tions followed' tions end jurisdictions its disnip- quence; genius h*a been voiced in tho hymn of the laureate and the music of its worshipers: philosophy has been praised in verse and extolled in eloqnentdisrtmrae. bnt philanthropy, clothed in beauty and robed in loveliiSs, like Zion, rises, above the Lebanon of earthly song qpd lives in the elevated numbers of heavenly har monies. Man, carried away by the pas sions of the hour or lured by the tempta tions that surround power and place, may think that honor is only found, as Addison expresses it, “at the head of armlet. V nid the pomps of courts, the splendor of titles, tho ostentation of learning and the noise of victories, bnt angels who look into the ways of men, see the philosopher in the cottage and find great men in the shades end solioitades of private life,” practicing be nevolence, exalting society, dispensing blessings, alleviating sufferings, diffus ing knowledge, stimulating virtue and upholding the crow. In these pur- «n be found him of whom today. A private citizen, be practices not tho aria of the politi cian nor court* the acclaim of .the hostings.

That divis ion was the herald wind of the tempest that in alter years shook to its foundation the union of our fathers. Yet through all that storm and tempest, one star lighted the heavens of hie being and his hopes—it wss the star of Wesleyan Methodism. That star bad shone npon tho labors of Wesley and Whitfield in the early history of Georgia. It had lighted up the dark path way revolution had made; it stood still over fields of carnage and of strife, end when that carnage ceased and that strife had ended, it gleamed in such resplend ent beauty in the Southern cross that the Northern heavens were illumined by the reflex of its brightness and brillian cy. Gazing npon its loveliness, his soul is stirred within him—repulsive indifference is warmed into life-giving charity, heart- less selfishness melts into Chri-tun fellow ship, watering in its course those Northern hills and Southern fields, where Methodism had sown her seed and was garnering the harvest. Methodism with him is Christian union and fraternal Jove wherever she builds an altar, and with Christian gener osity he extends her nscralneea and strengthen* her arm, by fostering the agen- ciea instituted by her to advance her mis sion. For this purpose he gives a princely donation to the Wesleyan University in Connecticut (where he spent, his school boy days), to Emory in Georgia—the child of Methodist hope and Methodists’ prayers —and again, out of the ridinees of his love for the church of his fathers, to our own Wesleyan College, that is now lifting its massive dome toward the sky—his cenotaph and monument when his eventful oonrse is RMFa* an evidence of Brie last assertion X r<*»* you to Me munificent donations, amounting in all to aboat $2JX)0,0Ca To tbaWtokyan University ’sdTMiddletoe, Connecticut; to the Home of Friendless Children in Brooklyn; to the hospital of that city for the poor and destitute; to the Long mLi HM«fiMl Society; to Hsekeria- isissftaajssriaajajss; i. jirofusse*.

It needs no comment: HOW THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNI TED STATES WAS 3BCT CP FOB A DAY AND NIGHT. Bg Seheyler Jlaxilton, former Major-General of VejSBttoere, United Statee Artng. It wa* iKhe early days of the rebel lion ; the country was deeply agitated ; men’s minds were vexed with all sorts of questions. Thero were occasional small incidents of apparent interest. A collat eral descendant oi tbe Great George— need I add Washington—had been cap tured iu a skirmish near Fairfax Court house. Tbe writer wa* ordered to exam ine into his case. Shakespeare baa said, “What’s ln a name ?” In hi* case there was something in a name. He was deem ed quite harmless, and therefore it was decided because he bora tbe name of Washington that be abould be set free without parole. He was so set free. In the mean lima a writ of habeas corpus had been served upon Lieutenant-Gener al Scott, general-iu-ehief of the armies of the United States, commanding him to bring before Justice Wayne, of tbe Su preme Court of tbe United States, a cer tain private of the Third Wisconsin Regi ment of Volunteers, at tost time com manded by Col. Charles S. Hamilton—no kinsman of tbe writer, but sinca a dis tinguished major-genera!, and since the war United States marshal for’the south ern district of Wisconsin. Tbe writ of habeas corpus %as claimed upon tbe ground that the President, under the constitution of toe United States, bad tbe i ight to call out tbe militia of neigh boring States to suppress in surrection or rebellion, but no consitutlonal right to. cal! out volun teer*. It was a vital question. If well founded, the Union, in its hour of ex tremity, was bereft of defenders. Re turning from the daly indicated above, toe writer found Edwin M. Stanton cloaeted with General Scott. Served with the writ, General Scott bad it sect to President Lincoln. A cabinet council was immediately summoned. Mr. Stan ton was ordered to be retained as legal counsel for General Scott. When toe writer arrived in tbeir presence, an an swer bad been returned to toe writ. Re flecting upon the matter, Mr. Stanton and General Scott agreed that toe return made by them wa» not what it should havdteefi. r t . ■ . v. “Colonel, is yonr bonesaddled V” “Only need* hia bite, General.” “M*unt at once.

Wo all agree, however, that If a writ might is sue there could be no discharge under it if the court martial had jurisdiction to try tho offender for the often** with which he was charged and the sentence was one which the court could under the law pro nounce. The Chief Justice then quoted the sixty-second article of war, and Mid that tbe offense charged in this case wm largely ono to the prejudice of good order and military discipline. The offender was a soldier in the army of the United States. As such, according to the specifi cation* of tbe charge made against him, be was orders^ on guard duty in tbe United States jail in Washington, and while on dnty be wilfully aud maliciously discharged his musket with Intent to kill a prisoner confined in tb« jail under the authority of the United State*. Tbe gravamen of tbe military offense Is that while standing guard as a soldier over a Jail ln which a prisoner was confined the accused wilfully and maliciously at tempted to kill the prisoner. CHARACTER OF THE CRIME. Shooting with intent to kill ia a civil crime, but shooting by a soldier of tbe army standing guard over a prison, with Intent to kill a prisoner confined therein, is not only a crime against society, but an atrocious breach of military discipline. While the prisoner who was shot at was not himself connected with tbe military service, the soldier who fired the shot was on military duty at the time, and the shooting was in direct violation of the orders under which be was acting. It fol lows that the crime charged and for which toe trial was had was not simply an as sault with intent to kill, but an assault by a soldier ou duty with intent to kill a prisoner confined in a jail over which be was standing guard. In oar opinion the fifth and fifty-ninth articles of war have no application to the case. The object and purposes of the fifth article were elabor ately considered in Coleman vs. Tennes see, 04 United States, 600. As it is to op erate only in time of war, it neither adds to cor takes from tbe powers which courts martial have under toe sixty-second article in time of peace. HO APPLICATION POH MASON’S 8URBBH- , j DEB. ' *It Is not pretended that any application was ever made under article 69 for the sur render of Mason to tbd civil authorities for > 'i So far as xpp:»rs,the person injured bv tbe offense Committed was satisfied ta have the offender dealt with by iue tary tribunal. - The choice or tho tribu nal by which the offender is to be tried, has not been given to him. Ho • has offended both against toe civil and tbe military law. Aa the proper steps were not txken to have him procae4H% against by the civil authorities it was the c ear duty of the military to bring him to trial under that jurisdiction. Whether after trial by tbe coart martial be can be again triedi t the civil courts is a ques tion we nee( not now consider. Itia enough that fie ccurt marshal bad juris diction to proceed, and that what has been done is wltbiu the powers of that [J^fitlfifl.,, U- . _ THE SENTENCE. The next objection is that tbe sentence la in excess of what the law allows. Un der toe ninety-seventh article of war, when tbe offense is ono not recognized by tbe laws regulating civil society, there can be no punishment by confinement in a penitentiary. Tbe same Is true when the offense, though recognized by tbe civil authorities, Is not punishable by tho civil courts in that way. But when tbe act charged as “conduct to the prejudice of good order and discipline” is actually a crime against society which is punishable by imprisonment in the penitentiary, it seems clear to us that a court-martial Is authorized, at its discretion, to teflict that kind ot punishment. The act done is a civil crime and the trial is for that act. The proceeding* are had In a court-martial because toe of fender is personally amenable to that ju risdiction, and what he did was not only ! criminal according to the laws of tbe land, but prejudicial to tbe good order and dis cipline of the army to winch be belonged. The slxty-aecond article provides that tbe offender, when convicted, shall be pun ished sc the -discretion of tbe court, and the ninety-seventh article does no more than prohibit the court lrom sentencing to imprisonment in a penitentiary incases when, if the trial had been bad for the same act in the civil courts, that could not be done. It Is next objected that the sentence Is In excess of the jurisdiction of the court, because in addition to imprisonment in tbe penitentiary for the frill term allowed by too laws of the District of Columbia for the ofiense of au assault with intent to kill it subjects such offender to dishonora ble discharge from tbe army aud a for feiture of his pay and allowances. It baa already been said, underthe sixty-second article the punishment is to be at the dis cretion of the court. The ninety-sev enth article only limits this discretion as to irflprisonmeut in the penitentiary, aud it has been nowhere provided that the punii'bment may not In other respects be greater than tho civil courts cjuld inflict. ft follows that the rule muat be discharg ed and it is so ordered. any other unit ot time.” If necessary the proving the proposed corrected return law will inquire at what hour cl a day an ordered it to be earned to Secretary Sew act was siguedor a proclamation issued I *rd.

L. during which he was to walk backward and forward blind-folded, tied from head to foot in a sack, and with his feet in a cheese box. At 2 o’clock a large crowd had assem bled, a long wire rope was extended across Bridge street, fro m the Times office to Bowne’s feed-store, opposite, and fas tened around under the eaves of the building. A lever which tightened the rope was held in place by be;ng caught nuder tbe edge of the roof. Alter going through the simpler portion of the exhibi tion, a handkerchief wae tied arouua his bead, and he proceeded to walk across blind-folded. At this point the stick slipped, the rope slackened suddenly, and he fell astride it. He re bounded and fell thirty feet to the ma- cademized road, Striking upon his *nd left shoulder, and fracturing his skull. He was carried into Shaw’s restaurant, ciose by, where he raised his bead twice or thrice, ejaculated “Ob, my God!’’ and expired. He was afterw ard taken to the Fountain House, where he now lies.
