THE CASE OF SURGE GRHHN.-Although
the findings of the Naval Court Martial recent
ly In session here tor the trial Of Sargeon
Green of the steamer Nipsic have not been
officialiy promulgated from the Navy Depart
ment, It is animated that the Court has SEN
fenced him to be suspended for two years.
Surgeon Green, it will be remembered, was
tr ed for disobedience of orders in refusing to
place sick man on duty when ordered to do 80
by Commander Stliridge. The result IL looked
for with great interest. inasmuch as 1t is re-
garded as a test case as to the power OF line
over staff officers. As the Surgeon is said to
have acted in a manner which he deemed to be
his duty, 1t is said that the senteace OF the Court
will be set aside by Secretary Robson, and
Surgeon Green restored to duty after being
reprimanded.

Rutter exercised supervision, the school fund
amounting to about 5000, GOO, instead ef depos-

ofhcers employed IL in buying up Tennessee
securities, which, under the law, are a legal
tender for indebtedness to the State, and
which Were at large discount, for the
purpose OF realizing large speculation
When the State called for the school fund the
bank proposed to ply it in this depreciat~d
paper, which the State refused 70 receive, and
as a consequence the bank he'd to succumb n
the pressure, and failed. The movements of

known, nor is it certain that he was a willing

State in 1867, and for which Governor Brown.

Attorney General of the State nine months ayo
