IT Is comforting to know that there is
evidence of official interest displayed by
Cabinet officer in his department. The
new Secretary Of War is desirous of be-
coming thoroughly acquainted with the Of
fcers ofthe army and with the operations
otthe army system in its several details.
He with Gen. Sherman and his staff are
visiting the Notifications of New York
Harbor, which makes the re-establishment
of friendly relations between the War De-
partment and the Ganeral-in-C Chief of the
Army, which were interrupted during the
tenure of office of Secretary Belknap.
There is reason to hope that the Belknap
exposure will be productive of good re-
suits so far as the management of the War
Department is concerned.

WILL the War Department demand a
trial by court martial of General Babcock
now that there is evidence to convict him
Of conduct unbeconing an officer of the
regular army? Tile Judiciary Commit
tee has before it evidence absolutely con-
elusive that Babcock did steal the letter of
Attorney General Pierrepont to District
Attorney Dyer,and used it where it did him
most coed. Justice, whose footsteps while
in pursuit Of Babcock, have been often de-
layed by distractions interposed by the ac-
cused and his friends, has at last got on a
clear track, and will certainly overtake the
fugitive. While the action of Babcock in
stealing the letter, does not in any man
ner excuse either Pierrepont Or the Presi-
dent, it sinks the private secretary beneath
contempt, and the regulations of the Army
and War Department will certainly de-
mand his trial by court martial.

BRAVE SERGEANT JASPER.

The Irish military of the State Of South
Carolina will, at the Centennial fair to be
held at Charleston, on the 18th inst, take
charge of table to be known as the GAS
per Table," the proceeds of which will be
used for the erection of monument in
commemoration of the first victory gained
during the war of American Independence.
When Fort Moultrie was bombarded by
the British fleet and the American colors
were shot from the flag staff, all Irish SOL
dier, Sergeant Jasper, leaped over the
parapet of the palmetto fort, seized the
colors, and under the fire of the enemy
nailed them to their position, and turning
to his comrades said, "Dont let US fight
without flag" Although century has
passed since the Irish hero uttered the
foregoing glorious words, they have their
echo in every American heart. 1t is
proper to honor the memory of such a
man as Jasper, and the Irish military of
the Palmetto State are right in appealing
to their ellow-countrymen for assistance
to raise a monument to the revolutionary
hero, Jasper.

troughs along the highways. Any one
who shall erect trough not less than four
feet long, twelve inches wide, and ten inches
deep, and keep it continually filled with
clear, running water, shall be entitled to
an annual reduction Of FIVE dollars from
his taxes. A penalty of punishment and
fine is attached for injuring or defacing
the troughs. The limits fixed by the law
is, that troughs erected under the act are
not to be never more than five miles apart.
Every State should have such law.

COUNTING THE ELECTORAL VOTE


The subject of counting the electoral
vote for President and Vice President, il
one Of the greatest Importance, and it il
hoped that pome satisfactory substitute
will be found for the present dangerous
mode through which the popular will Of
the people may be testified every four
years. Senator Edmunds has proposed a
constitutional amendment, that the votes
shall be counted by the Supreme Court,
and that the person having the majority
of all the votes for President; shall be
declared President; that if no
person shall have such majority, the
House of Representatives shall elect, from
the persons having the highest number,
not exceeding three and that the Vice
President is to be elected in the same way,
provided the Senate is to elect, should no
election appear on the count. Mr.. Ed
munds' proposition complicates the ques-
tion considerably, and will doubtless ex-
cite much discussion. The method Of
counting the electoral vote for President
and Vice President ought to be changed,
and no proposition which contemplates
throwing the election into the House of
ought to be entertained.
Such proposition is not only undemocrat-
ic, but is calculated to endanger the very
existence of the Republic.

FoR the first time in twenty years,
there is no particular candidate in the
field on either side, that's, none on which
his friends would stake their piles. This
is an unusual feature about this Presiden-
tial campaign, and especially is itso with
the Republicans. Mr.. Lincoln had no
competition Of Importance, and General
Grant had the course all to himself, while
now there are numerous formidable COM
petitors, and there is no telling who the
successful man will be. The strength of
the most prominent candidates of both
parties are SO evenly divided as to afford
no basis for prediction.
