Col Bracket is an experienced aud accom-
pllshed officer Of the regular army service, and
has capacity for command second to no man.
Lieut.. Colonel Owen is graduate Of West
Point, and Is roW instructor Of cavalry tactics
in that institution. He has served with honor
among the Indians and in Texas. Major
Hough Is one OF cur well known citizens, aud
bis peculiar adaptedneas for the position is
readily appreciated. He is now an aid to the
gallant Gen. Hun;er. Majs. sickles and Hum
phrey are also experienced soldiers. Capt.
Bn1gh of company A Was drsgonn soldier
in the Mexican War also Capt. StampofskY of
company E. We think ne are safe in saving
that no regiment has been organized during
the present war, with more experienced com
manders in every department than the First
Regiment Of Western Cavalry.
The Grain Sw1nd1e.
The grain sTindling case in which T. c.
Snow, Il. 8. Kellogg and John P. Yale are de.
tndants, had further hearing before the Po.
lice Court yesterday afternoon.
Mr., Wilkinson, Of the defence, moved the
Court to discharge Yale. Mr.. ". remarked
taat his discharge would necessarily carry
with it the discharge Of the other defendants.
The warrant in this cause alleged as the
ground OF complaint conspiracy to deftaud.
There might be some States in which such
warrant would be held valid, but certainly
not in illinois. Mr. ". re I'd from the Statutes,
Sec. %, Criminal Code, arguing THAT the stat
ute did not cover criminal conspiracy, and
the Court had nothing left to its discretion
but peremptory discharge. The warrant
Was false On It's face, and the complainant vas
in Worse position than the defendants. There
Was section in the statutes relative to OBJ
talning money under false pretences which
might perhaps pertain to this case, but Ger
tain1y nothing touching criminal conspiracy.
1t vas perfectly useless to plead this section
When it WAS morally certain that an ipdict.
ment could not be found against defendants.
They purchased load Of wheat from the
complainant, promising to pay for 1t the next
day. This Tas no uncommon occurrence
| among business men. These defendants ex-
| pected to pay the next day. They were very
poor and had no capital, aud expected to get
| money enough from the disposition Of the
! wheat to remunerate the owner.
He urged that the civil law provided the
remedy, and the complainant should have
taken that course instead of resorting to the
| criminal law. He had his remedy in a suit at
t1oyer. Il vas common thing among some
practitioners, where in civil suit Judgment
I might be rendered and the execution returned
with no property, to endeayor to obtain salts
faction by the use Of the name Of the People
Of Illinois. There WAS nothing to this case
but naked warrant, and that worth only the
blank paper.
| The Court overruled the motion and pre-
| ferred to hear the Witnesses for the defence,
t The counsel for the defence after consultation
| waived any further examination, and the de-
fendants gave bail to appear at higher
CoErt.
