When Rogues Fall Out, &c. &c.

The Washington Union has at last read John
Van Buren, out Of the Democratic party.
Poor Washington Union II has been doing
nothing else since the soft Shell Syracuse Conven.
ton Of New York, but reading its most intimate
and cherished friends out Of the ranks Of the
Democratic party. Il Is Abraham, over again,

Although these results show that Mr.. Chase is a
minority Governor, they do not strike us AZ lsus-
tanning the boast Of one of the Cincinnati papers,
that the nominee Of the next National Democratic
Convention will be the President of the United
States. Certain II is that the prediction thus con-
idently made cannot be founded upon any pre-
misc in the present aspect Of Ohio politics. The
vote for Mr.. Medill this year is 1883 less than
was given for the Democratic ticket in 1859, and
the vote for bis competitors is 1896 less than
showing that upwards Of fifty-two thousand voters
withheld their SURFACES at the late election. The

General Ethan Allen Hiichcock.

This is-the officer who lately resigned his
commission in the army upon being ordered
back to his post by the Secretary Of War, af-
Ger having received leave Of absence from Lieu
tenant General Scott commsnder-in-chief Of
the army.
There was not a moro accomplished and
thoroughly military officer In the army than
General Hitchcock, nor one more devoted to
his profession. His resignation was therefore
drawn from him by the unwarrantable inter
ference Of tho Secretary, who arrogates to him
self the proper duties Of commander-in-chief,
thereby setting an example Of characterization.
Gen. H. is no tyro in the rules and regulations
Of the army, having entered it in 1917 as a
second lieutenant then graduate from West
Point and, having risen through all the inter
mediate grades to that Of Brigadier General by
brevet He knows, therefore, to whom 1t was
his DUTY to apply for leave Of absence, and who
had the right to grant or withhold it; and the
interference Of the Secretary Of War, after it
had been given, and his unjustifablc order
countermanding that of the General-in-C Chief,
were such gross acts Of usurpation and tyran-
ny, and so insulting as to render 1t necessary
for General H. to resign, in order to preserve
his own selfrespect General Hitchcock IL the
grandson Of the celebrated Ethan Allen, Of
Revolutionary memory, whose name he bears,
and is chip Of the old block. He performed
The important duties Of Inspector General Of
the Army under General Scott In Mexico, in a
manner to call forth the highest commenda-
tons from that gallant conquerer.
