an UNJUST FINDING RETERSED.

The c,ee Of Major BgsJANIS RrSHLE,
which was finally decided by the frcs'-
dent few days ago, Is one Of special in
tcrcst, owing to the fact that the character
Of brave and gallant officer was thereby
vindicated ai,ei he had suffered unmcritcd
opprobrium for years.
Fortunately for the reputation of Major
RuNRtR, the faois Of the case, rs eJ,db-
Iished by the most satisfactory testimony
prove his entite innocence of the otIcnseS
changed against him The President,
therefore, had bu, n pleasant duty 10 per-
form in refusing TO approve the unjus,
finding Of the couTt-inartial
= The facts al the case are brisBy as fol-
lows: In 1872 Major BENJAMIN RUMBLE,
then an officer on tho retired list, was as
signed TO duty as q disbursing officer Of the
Ffe.dtnens bureau in Kentucky. A change
Of misappropriating money was male
against him lie was tried by n court
martial and sentenced IN bc dismissed ftom
the army. The finding Of the eourt-;nartial
was approved by BELKsAr. tben Secretary
Of War, but was not approved by the Presi'
dent
Major RuNRLR, conscious of his limo
asnce, always uaiutaiued that his cnSo was
not fairly tried. The truth Is, he sulsted
unjust odium, nom the fhct That he vas 4
disbursiny officer under Gen HowARDs
management Of the Freedmen's Bureau.
Although Major RuSELs WAS fully pro
pared 10 prove his entire Innocence there
seemed To be insupsra,Je te.hu,cl din.
culties Ia the way Of getting a tehearing OF
the case until his attorney discovered the
poin. that the sentence ot coart-martial
involving sriminsl charges must be ap.
proved by the President Of the uuited
States and cannot he approved by tie Sec
retary OF War, and that consequently the
Endorsement OF Secretary BEiKNAp was Of
no effect in law, and that therefore Major
RusKLE's case was still pending This
point having been sustained by the law
officers Of tho Government, the President
gave Msjo, RuNKLK special hearing upon
the merits Of his defense.
The evidence discovered hy Major RON
gLE during the last Ave yeais was SD oseI-
wheimjng that the pfesit!eat had no din
Guilty whatever In deciding that tie accusa'
tiou was unfounded aud he, therefore, de-
clined To spprove The sentence Of the court
martial. This leaves Major R|SKLL Oh ths
retired list, with his rspntation rs u soldier
and a gentleman uB,arnishsd, a result
which gives universal satisfaction.
National Republican., 1877-08-10

proper that the whole subject should he
placed under tho control of board com
posed Of persons well known for their cul-
tiSatcd taste in art matters. We have now
become so far advanced in national culture
that we should cease 10 pay for hideous
abor'ions in art which only disfigure and
disgiace the Capital
So far as the WAsHIsorUH monument Is
concerned. We DC not see what is to be
gained by any further delay in completing
II according to the original design. Let its
foundations he strengthened as recon.
mended by the board OF army officers. and
then let the graceful shaft lie reared to the
height originally designed aud all the world
will admire its graceful proportions

The extraordinary enterprise OF great metro
p0litsa journals Is well illustrated by Que Of
the recent achievements Of the New York
Hcroh On the 9Th instant The NATIONAL
REPUBLICAN published exclusively the lc,icr
of Mt W D. MOORE relating TO the Norfolk
custom house frauds. In the New York Her.
aid Of yesterday we observed u telegram p,ir-
porting TO be from Norfolk, Va. giving an ac-
count Of the custom house frauds there. The
language struck us S being very familiar,
aud upon comparing II with Mr.. MooREs
letter we found that the dispatch
vas almost = verbatim copy Of that let
ter as published in THE REPUBLICAN, on Mon.
day This makes II quite evident that the
Norfolk dispatch was manufactured In the
Herah office. The Herald arrived here in
time for the Sidr to reproduce the article yes
terday evening as Il dispatch. Thus these
papers, by great deal Of fuss aud ado
succeeded in imposing matter upon their
readers as news which originally appeared In
the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN four or five day,

THE FANATICIsM OF THE NEW YORK
SUN REBUKED.

From The AluslIstA IFhI UhFOhicie'
The sun is mistaken in its estimate Of the
people Of the South II II magincs them 10 churlish
as 10 begrudge the hospitality extended TO an in
vited and honored guest. IL may be customary at
the North for hosts to publish how much II has
cost TO entertain yentlensn who have accepted
their profiefed courtesy such is not the custom
at the south II Is very desirable that the Prcsi-
dent and his Cabinet should. if possible, take a
trip through thtS section OF the Union. The south
eni people are anxious TO see him. Though
elected by party hostile TO them aud their inter
csts, he has given them peace and local selfgoy-
ernment. and restored their respect for the Consti-
tuition and their love fol the Union. They are
grateful to him for what he has done in behalf OF
constitutional liberty President OF the United
Mr. HAYES comes among US he can see the South
for himself ob,sin pcrsonal knowledge OF her CON
dition aud her needs, aud meet The Southern
people as well as the politicians. We can safely
promise that he will meet with warm reception
everywhere he goes and viii have no reason to re-
sret his visit.
National Republican., 1877-08-10

THE fact that Mf. ScuuRz asked the Repub'
lican committee of Pcnnsyivania to pay his
travelling expenses, TO which Mr.. KENBLk re.
fers, IL scarcely worthy Of any notice. The
practice Of paying the travelling expenses OF
political speakers is very general and very
proper, as they could scarcely be expected ~
pay their own expenses, except when they are
themselves candidates.

LITTLE VOLCANO IN MAINE.
From the New York Herald,

There Is volcanic little town in Ponobscet
county. Me-, Appropriately called Etna, aud tho
Republicans Of Etna have Just adopted charac.
Hayes Is no less than "a traitor to his party his
country and his God" In their rngc we notice,
they spell God with small e. but We arc willing
to overlook that though Il would be well for them
hereafter TO spell Hayes with small n also. IL
will surprise nobody to hear that under tie elr.
cumstances, the Republicans Of Etna VIII nN give
President Hayes or his inilutous policy any sup
port either political or moral" We should think
not. Il looks little bad for Mr.. Hayes, and II be
wrrc not man OF great sclf.posscssion We should
think he might be scared by This eruption Of ktna
into replacing Chamberlain and Packard and gen
orally upsetting things In the south.
