It was but a use of forces which were already armed and equipped, instead of drafting new companies of militia. Mr. Simms, of Kentucky, said the bill was one of murder, for while the laws of our country gave to a criminal or rebel the right of trial by jury, this bill gives authority to the President to order his myrmidons to shoot down whosoever he may consider a rebel, wherever he may find him, and without judge or jury.
