From time TO time Ii has been charged, and
perhaps with same reason, that cruelty TO q
certain extent Is practleed In the navy. No
effort has been spared by the Department TO
10 ascertain the truth OF those reports, but In
nearly all cases they proved on investigation
10 be utterly unfounded. A short time ago,
however, charges were preferred against an
officer high In rank, Commander Alexander
II. Semmes, and q Court-martIal was con-
yened TO try him in New York. HewAs found
guilty on these charges, namely, flrst, infllct-
Ing cruel aud unlawful punishment on per-
sons under his command; second, abuse OF his
official power; aud, third, oppressive and In
human conduct, unbecoming an officer and
gentleman. The finding OF the court was
that he be suspended for three years from
duty and rank, and reprImanded In general
order by the Secretary OF the Navy,
The Department has approved the sen.
tonce and Issued the order which we printed
yesterday. The action Of the Secretary can
not but have agood effect upon the service
Commander Semmes' punishment 10 all the
more signal that he has been "a brave and
jealous officer" 1t Is a lesson, not only TO
him but 10 all his fellow-ofneers, that those
under them have rights which they must re-
speet

the regular Democratic action in com.
mittee and convention.
The Post tonight says if Greeley is TO
be presented in all the Presidential
Conventions Of 1872, he ought TO have
a formidable rival in G.. +. Train. The
Post remains thoroughly and bitterly
hostile TO Greeley. 1t asserts that the
Cincinnati Convention was captured by
conspiracy and simply continued the
chapter of the old quarrel between
Greeley and Tom Murphy.
The Si4n, in the morning, says: "If
the Democrats pat their own candi
dates in the field, Grant will surely be
elected"
The Tribune says: "There are those
who insist that the Tri6une's avowed
purpose to be henceforth somewhat
other than partisan gladiator will be
overborne by the unexpected nomina-
ton made at Cincinnati. IL means 10
disappoint them. It's convictions on
grave public questions will still, when
occasion invites, be expressed with due
frankness; but it will try to give those
who differ from it SO fair and full a
hearing that they shall have no reason,

LONDON, May 6.-The morning papers
comment on the nomination Of Horace
Greeley for President OF the United
States by the Liberal Convention at
Cincinnati. The Times says: " The
nomination of Greeley is fa cical, and
his election is hopeless. 1t, however,
kills President Grants chance for re-
election, and makes certain the nomiua-
ton of candidate by the Democrats
The Post argues Greeley will be success
full if his nomination is Endorsed by
either of the other conventions yet to
be held, but such action the Post thinks
impossible. The Telegraph says /: "The
nomination of Greeley directly concerns
England, because he is hostile to the
Treaty of Washington. and is bigoted
Protectionist." The Ne,oS praises Gree-)
ley, but doubts his fitness for the posi-
ton of Chief Magistrate of great
nation

ticians.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, May 5.-The Sen
tineL of tomorrow places at the head of
its columns the candidates of the Liberal
Republican Convention for President
and Vice President, subject to the de-
cision of the Democratic State Conven.
ton, which meets on the 10Th of June
In the editorial stating its position the
Sentinel says that the party, through its
leaders and press, were committed to
the support OF the Cincinnati nominees,
if liberal and fair platform was adopted.
This the Sentinel claims to have been
done, and that Greeley and Brown, hav.
ing been prominently named as candi-
dates for the nomination before the
meeting of the convention, and no oh.
iections urged to them, there is no good
reason why they should not be accepted,
and that if either of the other candi.
dates had been selected. just as serious
objections would have been urged against
them as against Greeley. The Sentinel
SAYS that in its course it commits no one
outside of the Sentinel office, and if the
State Convention shall decide differently
it will cheerfully acquiesce. 1t thinks
there is no reasonable chance for elect.
ing National Democratic ticket, and
that the choice is narrowed down to
Greeley or Grant, and it prefers Greeley
on the Liberal platform that he has been
nominated on.
The feeling is growing stronger and
stronger in favor Of the Cincinnati nomi.
nees, and the most ultra Democrats
freely express the opinion that it is
best to accept the Cincinnati platform
and candidates in the national contest.

Columbia, Adair county, Ky, and stopped
and dismounted at the Deposit Bank. Two
with pistols in their hands held the horses,
and three with reyolvers entered the bank.
One Of the scoundlels shot the cashier dead
and the party pillaged the bank Of all the
money out OF the safe, which they could not
open. The citizens organized, started in
pursuit, and at latest accounts were gaining
rapidly on the villains.
THE President of the bank at Columbia,

noon by i've men, has offered a reward Of
5000 Tor them, or 81 600 for either. The

PARTON'S LIFE OF GREELEY.


This is one of the most notable
books of the times, and decidedly
one of the best written and re-
markably interesting of American
biographies. We do not propose
to review it from a political stand
point, for it is not designed as q
mere campaign book, but a work
of standard value, from the pen of
a writer of established reputation,
whose biographies of eminent
Americans, are well known and
highly valued. Mr.. Parton's writ
ings are all attractive on account
of the care he exercises in collect
ing incidents, and the ingenuity
with which he weaves them into
the story Of a life, to relieve the
tedium of dry facts and monoton-
Gus narration.
Such a work cannot be review
cd in the compass of an ordinary
book notice, and it is therefore
best to simply inform the reader
that it was commenced several
years ago, before Mr.. Greeley was
thought of as a presidential can
didate, and faithfully written as
one volume in the series of Par
ton biographies, simply for its
general interest and intimate con-
nection with the history of the
country, for near half century.
Commencing with his birth, and
following him through all the
vicissitudes of early years of trial
and adversely, the school which
developed tho wonderful power
that marks his ripper years and
carried him forward to the time
when the people honored him with
the nomination for the highest
place in our land. Not written in
the interest of party, it is a full

now required, and the claims of
modern society, make another diff
Guilty for the hOusekeeper. We all
know the old fable of the eye of the
master and its powers of observa-
ton. AS a mistress in q family is
an important person, would it not
be well to cultivate the power and
capacity for command in the young,
instead of Kindly but injudiciously
postponing the evil day, as if all
young women would naturally take
to the mysteries and routine of
housekeeping, as young ducks to
the water? Rather on the principle
of pushing a friend overheard who
has never learned to swim, or per-
haps never seen salt water before,
do the mothers of American girls
treat them; the usual answer being,
t'The time will come fast enough
when she will haze to take care Of a
house" and so they defer the grad
ual study for it. Is there any other
study, profession, trade or craft so
neglected? We must infer that
women think household cares and
duties something which come by
nature. Happy would it be for us
if it were so but, if q natural gift,
it is very charity bestowed, unlike
all other of natures bounte0us pro-
visions for us. Housekeeping is
not an instinct, and should be q
study. Women are clamorous for a
larger sphere; have they yet filed
this, best suited to them, well and
perfectly? Do American women
understand themselves, their work,
and their servants sufficiently We
think not.-["Our Household Ser
