Father Richie arrazned and brought before tina
House this morning by MIR Petit upon matter res
pectng which 1t Is altogether probable editor OF the
On'on was as Innocent II not ignorant ss the man
IN he MOON Tor 1t Is not always that Mr. Richie reads
the reports OF the proceedings before they arc
Yet the venerable man very severely handled and
We are sstonished that old Accomsck did not coma
straight up to the Mr. Petit was incorrectly
reported so far as to be ade to appear man of all
Others in the United States Who elected James X Polk
ana the father do facto of the tariff bill OF 4o notwh
standing the pretensions Of Robert j. Walker The
reporter inavertentIy say omitted certain ana
ihoatons OF MIR p which would have totally neutral
4ed what otnerwse appears in the published speech rs
the most ridiculous tgotism-a sort OF egotism whoh
would Do excusa6e In no man excepting old Bullion
STILL 1t always best to keep cool in such Gases and
never 20 ny on tho handle without due confederation
yesterday for example, the reporter Of the Baltimore
Sum- who alter the assembling Of Congress had been
engaged also to send daily report to tho RAID
excluded from the Fremont court martial for having
reported In the Sum casual remark which he attti-
butsa TO Major Graham asking II q certain order de-
iivered In battle in California In writing! This
reporter goes On to say that the question eicited
much merriment," and answers from the Judge Advo-
fold OF battle in writing So We find In the He,sid M
this mornings mail substantially the same offence ~
peated put not constituting the decision the Court A
applicable to the Herald smother gentleman OF the uorps
OF that Office has gone down day All the yscsnov
occurring from tho exclusion Of the Sun reporter ysss
lsjor Graham we know to be gallant officer and an
accomplished gentleman We know the esprit du esrps
OF the service Is as sensitive Cesar OF Madame Co.
sar reputation, asd Justly We like SEQ this sp
rt ana encouraged Yet think the course
which the srJor adopted for the of the re-
porter whether the Objectionable matter OF his report
were mere Interpolation OF his own or an
was about the most iDjudcious which could have been
adopted simple denial or explanation In the sams
newspaper would have quoted the affair at once Bat
Even .nas was hardly required Assuming that MAjer
urahsm dd ASK the question, there ia nothing indos
i've OF military Ignorance In It. Gen. Scott himself
might Inadvertently have asked that question and
presume that no man would have given the matter a
moments consideration, had Major Graham suffered IL
quietly TO go along The reporter Of the Sun as far
ss we Know, s correct reporter aud know him to
De- ms sucn, abov. prejudice Partially We do net
concur IN the act OF his exclusion do we think that
Msjor Graham has done Justice either TO the reporter
OF himself In the proceedings which led to this decision
OF Tue Court. We knew him TO be brave but vs had
thought. HIM an old and n wiser soldier We hnd
thought MN the soldier who would spring ut an order
either orally given, Ia writing the attack of a bat
terry In the face OF s iron hs that he could stand
~ Draveiy these bullets the brain which come
times make the bravest forsetful Of their chivalry
