" the handsomest city on this continent
" No American now visits the National Cap
"ital without being proud Of its recent i'm
"provements. The fault Of Shepherd, per-
chaps, was that he accomplished in three
"years q work that might have been spread
cover six years, and in this way at less
"charge to the taxpayers. That the very
"haste of putting through two hundred
"miles of costly, but complete sewerage,
land over one hundred and fifty miles Of
paving, necessarily invoked extrsvagance,
there is reason to suppose, and it is scarcely
"too much to say that it really invited job
"bery; or, as in the case of Phelps, Dodge
d" & Co., gross irregularities. But for all
"this, the President who had appointed
Shepherd to this great work; who was
"assailed through him in the vilest terms
and by the grossest implications, and who
believed him to be honest, was surely not
" called upon to sacrifice his personal friend
"ship for, or surrender his official confidence
in. the man who had done so much for
Washington city, to say the least as ever
" Mr.. Dodge did for Christian charity or
sc for New York's commercial greatness.
"To have done so would not have been in
" keeping with the notable fairness of the
" President in all things; with his gener-
Gus sense Of magnsnimity to public ser

as it is beneficial to the district he represents.
He not only looks AFTER his own State, but
those in misfortune from the other south

were intrusted to enlisted men or to civilians,
without direct proof oF vigilance on the part Of
the responsible officer, and resort to every rea-

inspection, intended to prevent loss or damage,
lieving such officer from liability. Evidence must
be demanded showing clearly the circumstances
taken to guard against It: and reviewing officers,
in examining the proceedings and findings OF such
boards will apply the principles set forth IN this
order, and be governed by them in afixing their
approval. Paragraph 1927, Army Regulations Of

''loI. If any article Of public property be lost
or damaged by neglect or fault Of any ohleer or
