SOLDIERS VOTING.


Buckmaster and Gale, appointed by the
Esgptians to take the vote Of Illinois SOL
diers on the new Constitution, have turned
the whole thing into farce and fraud. Il
docs not appear that those persons have
even taken an oath to perform their duties
honestly. They procure the votes Of a
regiment in the same way that question
is put to q crowd in q political nnecfng.
Ali IN fvor will say aye; all opposed viii
say no; the ayes hare it. And the regiment
is returned as having voted unanimously
for the Peter Funk Constitution.
Before soldier erer saw a copy Of the
proposed Constitution they are called upon
to vote On it. l. dozen regiments have
been TiEted and polled and not man
among them all has had chance to peruse
the instrument On which he is called to
pass an opinion. The people at home
have till the 18th Of June to exam
me it and make up their minds.
But the Convention had scarcely ad
jcurned before Buckmaster and Gale
started to Missouri to obtain the votes O
Illinois soldiers. Gale calling himself
Republican," and Buckmaster claiming
to be Democrat, told the 1ncn that IT was
s"an right" ard that everybody was going
for it, Nobody was opposing 1t, and the
soldiers hearing nothing to the contrary

Much curiosity has been expressed as to the
reason for which Colonel Jenn1sou has been
denied the privilege Of parole, generally ac-
corded to officers under arrest. A proper JUS
tidcation Of such denial can only be found
in the nature Of the charges preferred; As be
is in ignorance Of these, it may be that the
militaTy authorities here are in similar ignor-
ance, and either are instructed to refuse
parole, or are unwilling to assume the respon-
sibi'ity Of granting it.
We are given to understand that no detail or
specification Of the charges, if any there be, has
yet been received. The Provost Marshal Gene
raj gives no intimation as to their nature.
The public will therefore have to wait, and
the brave Jennison to remain in prison, until
the papers in the case shall arrive from
Kansas. Regrets are expressed By the olff-
GERS here that they are unable to re1ease him
on parole o1. the city. Some OF them unqual-
ifledIg agree With us In the opinion that his
Imprisonment is too gratifying to the seces-
eioniste, and to those sympathizing with them,
to be acceptable to the friends Of the country,
and that no bad man could be SO obnoxious

by this Office Of divine justice; and the

soldier who, in the faithful discharge Of his

may well claim the thanks and praise Of
all loyal men and good citizens, for thus

and severely testing the dross. 1t is to be
sure less peaceful and quiet than the good

but those and better are coming back again

TRIBUNE over the growing family Of A. B.
is more than his own, and his own teach

The report that Gen. William F. Smith was
drunk and fell from his horse at the skirm!sh
OF Lees Mills, near Yorktown, comes from
too responsible source to be doubted, being
announced On the floor Of Congress by Hon.
Mr.. Morrill, Of Vermont, the member from
his (smith's) district. Gen. Smith is native
Of Vermont, and entered the army as gradu-
ate Of West Point in ISIS. He was in the
corps Of Typographical engineers, and had
risen to Captaincy in 1859. Gov Falrbanks
appointed him last summer Colonel Of tue
"a Vermont regiment, and Immediately upon
the arrival Of his command ut Washington he
was nominated Brigadicr General. Later he
was assigned to the command Of division,
embracing the brigades Of Hancock, Brooks
and King, upon the extreme right Of the Fed
eral line around Washington, near the Chafu
Bridge. His command is now embraced in
the corps d'dynes Of Gca. keYe5.
although Gen. Smith has heretofore been
esteemed good oficer-at least he has been
exempt from public censure-one such act as
THAT described at Lees Mills should be enough
to give him 4 place on The retired list. he
