from Washington.
Washington, December 15.
--The findings and sentence of the Naval Court-Martial for the trial of Commodore Craven for refusing to fight the Stonewall has been published.
The Court sentenced him to be suspended two years, which decision was reiterated upon the return of the sentence by the Secretary of the Navy disapproved.
The Secretary then dissolved the Court and ordered Commodore Craven to return to duty.
Washington, December 15.--The United States Supreme Court to-day was crowded with attorneys to hear the important argument of Mr. Carpenter, of Wisconsin, advocating the re-admission of Mr. Garland to practice on the ground that the President's pardon restored the petitioner to all his civil and political rights.
Although he (Carpenter) sustained the President in suppressing the rebellion, now that the war was over, he was perfectly willing to take by the hand his "re-constructed" brethren.
He contended that the test oath was unconstitutional.
Attorney-General Speed, replying, argued that Congress has the right to fix the qualification for office, and that though a pardon removed the consequences of crime, it was not a key to unlock the Government offices. Mr. Garland was no more restored to pardon than were those who took part in the rebellion to the offices they previously occupied under the United States Government.
Reverdy Johnson will continue the argument next Friday for the petitioner.
