q COPY Of letter, which is unnecessary to give)
and did thereby violate good morals, and set an
evil example to others in like manner to offend.
GEoRGK M. RoBKsoN,
NAVY DEPARTMENT, April q, 1875.
The court found the specifications proven and
the accused guilty Of the charges, and passed SEN
tence as follows: --.--.-
States navy, be suspended from duty for the
period Of one year; to retain his present number
time, and to be reprimanded in general orders BY
the Hon. Secretary Of the Navy"
The finding Of the court is approved, and the
sentence though not approved in the fullest sense
In carrying into execution that part of the SEN
tence which requires that Lieut.. Commander
Coghlan "be reprimanded in general orders, the
Department is constrained, in order that the effect
Of its reprimand may not be perverted, or the
younger thceIs Of the % navy be & msled ed 6y the
that the punishment awarded is certainly not too
severe for the offenses found proved.
Neither the evidence taken by the court nor the
defense offered by the accused shows any cause or
excuse for the violent and vindietive tone and dis
graceful languageof the letter set forth in the
Specifications and the only assignable cause ap-
pears to be an impression on the part of the writer
that orders distasteful 10 him had been issued at
the instigatiOn or throL gh the contrvance of the
clerk 10 whom the letter is addressed, and were
the result ci personal considerations and maleyO-
lent feeling tnstes. sc'ng. as they were, proper
and necessary f,- the interests " the service.
The accused pleaded - NOW :ation; the court
upon inquiry could find n0ne and the only con-
ceivable motive for the letter is one which not
only deprived Lieutenant Commander COghlan of
all claim to the lenient consideration Of his case
by the Department, but adds to the disgraceful
otenses Of "ungentlemanly conduct and scan;
dalOus conduct tending to the destruction of good
morals" the grave military oftense of treating
with disrespect and contempt his superior officer,
the officer of high rank who occupies the position
of chief of the bureau whence the orders cma-
nate and shows a degree of insubordination
which renders the offender unfit for the service.
Lieutenant Commander COghlan will be con-
sIdered as suspended from this date, in conformity
with his sentence GEORGE n. RoBEsoN,

Clear the Decks,

CFrOm the Charleston News and Courier.l
The appointment Of the unscrupulous Penn
sylvsnia politician, Mr.. Don Cameron, to be
Secretary of War, sounds very much like an
order to clear the decks ndprepare for action.
Judge Taft is moderate in his views, disposed
to be liberal in his opinions, and known to be
positive in his notions of right and wrong.
Such War Secretary would be rather in the
way during Presidential campaign. Presi-
dent Grants plan, in political as in military
campaigns, is to move at once on the enemy's
works. The enemy's works, Constitutional
Democracy being the enemy, are in the South
ern States; and as the electoral vote is eX-
pected to be on the side of heavy bsttallions,
the Executive desires to be in position to use
the whole strength of the army and navy to
overawe the South. With Don Cameron in
Washington and Phil Sheridan in the field,
there would be very little voting, except by
the colored troops, who would vote nobly.
Public opinion will force President Grant
and his Man Friday to be cautious, that is to
say, more cautious than was necessary four
years ago. But If there should be any serious
disturbances in the South, or anything that
can be exaggerated into ku-Kluxism m or White
Lesguery, we may count on seeing squads of
Federal troops at every county-seat in the
doubtful Southern States. This would not
tend to swell the Democratic majorities. We
are satisfied that nine tenths of the people in
the South who have anything to lose are de-
termined that there shall be peace in the
South, and that they will talk very plainly, if
needs be, to the few rowdy politicians who are
to be found in every community. Possibly
these last will take the hint. Whether they
do or not, the South will have peace, both in
name and in fact.

THE decision of the Senate to take juris-
diction of trial of impeachment after the
Office is vacated is tantamount to declara-
tion that it is important that the Senate,
as a court Of impeachment, should assert,
maintain, preserve and guard its power as
court of impeachment to disqualify q
civil officer who may have been guilty of
high crimes and misdemeanors from ever
again holding Office under any peradven-
ture. If the guilty party is so disqualified
by the courts Of law, an Executive pardon
will restore his eligibility; but if the dis
qualification is a part of the sentence of
the court tofimpeachment it is beyond all
power of restoration. The Constitution
leaves it within the discretion, judgment
and wisdom of the Senate to incor-
porate the disqualification in its SEN
tence. The officer found guilty "shall'' be
removed and may be disqualified. The
question that has perplexed Senators is, no
doubt. as to their power to take cognizance
of the alleged crime for the sole purpose Of
working disqualification, upon conviction,
as separate and distinct sentence, when
the power of removal has already passed
from them. The language of the Consti-
fulton, in section four of article two is
mandatory as to removal from Office upon
conviction, while that in section three of
artIrie one, as to the power of disqualified
tior, connects the two as follows: "Judg-
"meDt in cases of impeachment shall not
" extend further than to removal from office
and disqualification to hold and enjoy
"any Office of honor, trust or profit under
/" the United States" 1t will be seen by
this language that the disqualification is to
be coDjoined to the sentence of removal if,
in the discretion of the Court, il is inflicted
at all

We PRINT ELSEWHERE an extract from
the editorial columns of the Charleston
Is. c. NerS and Courier. which en-
braces some significant comments regard
ing the appointment of Mr. Cameron to be
Secretary of War. 1t is evident, from the
tenor of this article that the Southern
Democracy expect nothing less nor more
than Justice thing they are sorely afraid
of-at the hands of the Government if its
affairs are administered by such men as
MIR. Cameron. 1t is worthy of note, how
ever, that his appointment is accepted by
such good Southern Democratic authority
as the NerS and Courier as an admonitisn
that law and order must be preserved in
the South, ifthe mslcontents of that Sec
tion would avoid the consequences of Ku-

Yesterday with the bright floral tokens of a

those who fell in the great fight. Underneath
the broad and ample branches of the green

and the fragrant wild flower, underneath the
vast expanse of empereaL blue silently sleep
the mortal bodies of over fifteen thousand of

THE attempt to impeach the testimony
of Mr.. Harvey, the witness against Speaker

they were at once denounced as partisan
