E1;- The President has returned Gen. Sickles
application for court ofinquiry to the WaI
Department with his .disapprova', and his rea-

a court of inquiry it would simply be giving an
other hearing. If not satisfied with the verdict
of the public, the President intimates he may
demand q court martial. AS the public has
pretty generally sustained Gen. Sckls, it is not
likely he will ask any further yindicalion at the
hands of the President
