1t will be remembered that in July
last Capt. Morris Schofi, commanding
the Mount Vernon Arsenal, near Mobile,
Ala, having ordered Mr.. Frederick B.
Sheppard, citizen of Mobile, to be
brought to the arsenal by squad OF
soldiers, during dispute shot hiu, from
the effects of which he died about week
after. Capt. schof, previous to the
death OF Sheppard, was tried; not on a
charge of assault with intent to kill,
but on charge OF conduct unbecoming
an officer. The President has now or
dered him to be tried for murder.
The Intelligencer has published a
letter from Postmaster General Randall
on the political situation. 1t is address
Cd to citizen of Wisconsin, and opens
by denouncing the Republican party
of that State for advocating in their
stare convention the impeachment u
President Johnson. He says the latter
has done nothing to be impeached for
and maintains that If Congress had not
interfered with him the policy of the
Administration would have resulted
long since in the representation, by libe'
raj men, of every State in the South. He
closes by trusting that Wisconsin will
join New York in following Ohio and
Pennsylvania. The letter places Mr.
Randall squarely in sympathy with the
President, and disposes Of the charge
that his position in this regard was
equivocal. 1t will doubtless insure hi:
retention.
