A dispatch from Washington says the
Secretary Of War has issued very impor-
tant order in regard to penalties for the
neglect Of duty and disobedience of orders
on the part of commissioned officers in the
charge 81 troops about to be mustered out
of the service. After stating that it is
generally the fault Of the regiments or
company officers if delay epn the muster
ont occurs, he desires that chief musteEing
officers and their assistants report BY tele-
graph thenames of all nsglecting officers,
with the charges against them, to the Ad.
jutant General of the army, Withholding
in the meantime their final payments and
honorable discharges, with view to their
summary and dishonorable dismissal from
the service, with forfeiture of all pay. The
report by telegraph will be sent promptly
upon cases of neglect being brought to no
tice, and at the same time the facts in full
viii be reported by mail. Governors of
States are requested to report delinquenl-
cies coming to their notice to the chief
mastering officer of the State, and to the
Adjutant General of the army, so that a
prompt remedy may be applied. 20 So

Today, and bivouscked at the Soldiers Home.
II numbered some nine hundred men, and

We take the shove from an indianapolis

Hos. G. P. KIRKLAND, OF New York,
has Just published an able pamphlet, in
which he holds that the national govern
ment has no control over the question of
negro suffrage, and that this matter may
be safely left to the future population of
the rebel States. The distinguished finsn-
cier, Hon. ALBERT GALIATN, has printed
letter, agreeing substantially with the
views of Mr.. KIRKLAND.

A Washington special says the Execu-

military commission, and will examine the
voluminous testimony closely before rem

the President is by no means pleased with
the responsibility imposed upon him of in

probable that he may quash the affair and
order new trial by the civil courts. Ali
