THE RENO coURT-MARTIAL.

The court-martial proceedings before
Gen. Hazen, at st. Paul, in the case OF
Major Reno, have already been outlined.
One incident has escaped notice. One OF
the officers who testified against him was
Capt. Benteen, who commanded The re-
serves on the fatal day when Custer and
his followers were massacred. The 7th
regiment was dividen into three columns,
Custer himself leading five companies to
their death, Major Reno commanding a
second attacking party of three companies
and Capt. Benteen bringing up the rear
with three companies. Reno attacked
the Indian camp, but was driven across
the river. A hand-to-hand conflict ensu-
ed, and the cavalry-men, after fighting
their way up the bluffs, were surrounded
by their foes. Suddenly Benteen came
to their rescue. His division charged up
the bluff, drove back the Indians, and
saved Reno and his beleaguered comrades
from death. Major Reno has been in
command at Fort Abercrombie during
the winter, and, as the result of the court
martial, will probably be dismissed from
the service for making war upon an offi-
GERS wife, who resented his insults; and
the officer who saved his life last June
has been one of his accusers in this
wretched business.

HAYES TO HAMPTON AND CHAM
BERLAIN.

The letter from the President to Gen.
eral Hampton, which was approved by
the Cabinet yesterday, processes to desire
that General Hampton will convey to the
President his "views of the impediments
to the peaceful and orderly organization
ofa single and undisputed state govern
ment in South Carolina, and of the best
method of removing them" To these
two inquiries General Hampton's an
swer must be brief and obvious. "The
sole impediment to the peaceful and Or
derly organization of single and undis-
puted government in South Carolina" is
the presence of the federal troops. "The
best method of removing the impediments
is to remove the troops. General Hamp-
ton need go no further, The subject
would be obscured, not rendered palmer,
by further amplifcation. But when Mr..
Chamberlain comes to answer the same
inquiries, he will hardly content himself
with 80 sententious an exposition of the
wrong and the remedy. The ''impedi-
ments" to his "single and undisputed
state government" are numerous and in
surmountable. The unconquerable re-
pugnance of whole people-refusal to
pay IaAeS-tne aDSOluJt ucCcSsily lOr Iull-
itary support, not only now, hut as long
as he pretends to hold office-these are
the impediments. To remove them the
state must be turned into camp;a squad
Of federal troops must serve every civil
and criminal process; the judges must be
turned out and new ones installed in their
places: the taxes be collected at the point
of the bayonet, and, in short, civil gov
ernment give place to military rule. The
President seems to have so framed his in
quiry as to admit of nothing but directly
opposite views from the rival governors.
The letter of the President is respectful
in tone and requires respectful answer.
But we trust that General Hampton will
not go to Washington, nor in any way
recognize the right of the President to ar
bitrate between himself and Chamberlain
His place is in his own state; he is its
governor, and charged with the mainte-
nance Of the peace, purity and dignity of
his state. He can make no bargain with
Hayes that will not make him partaker
in the constitutional outrage and politi-
cal infamy of the bayonet rule in South
Carolina.-Bdltim0re Gazette.

THE OLD STORY OVER AGAIN.

Our correspondents at Washington,
whose letters we publish this morning,
treat with great severity the conduct
of the Fraudulent President in going
back upon the promise of his iuaugu.
raj address, and in failing to respect
the pledges given IN his behalf to the
Southern representatives for the puT-
pose of securing the fnal declaration
of his election by Congress in Compli-
ance with the decision of the Electoral
Commission.
While we print their observations
do not wish to go altogether the length
they do of condemning Mr.. Hayes as
meaning from the first to delude and
betray the Southern men. His fault
seems to US to be weakness rather than
deliberate debravity. He isa kind
hearted man, very fond of approEa-
tion. He doesn't want to be dis
agreeable to anybody. He would like
to make the South happy and to have
it support his Administration and
praise him; but he is not anxious to
offend MIR. Morton or Mr.. Blaine. He
is not prepared to break with the lea
ders OF the Republican party; and,
above all he hates to say positively
before the country that Packard-who
is Governor by just the same title as
Hayes is President-is the creature of
fraud, and never was elected at all.
Thus, poor Mr.. Hayes is turned about
now in this direction and now in that,
changing his mind every day, or of
tener, and doing at last, not what he
meant to do when he began, but ex-
actly the opposite. They have been
talking about his new policy, but
the truth is, he has no policy at all.
be is not his own man. He does not
control what he calls his Administra-
tion. He is powerless against the for
ces that produced his elevation, Just
as any feeble, undecided, common
place character needs must be under
such circumstances.
No man who gets an office as MIR.
Hayes got this one, can be worth
anything in it. A Fraudulent Presi-
dent, even if he sets out with good
motives, is bound sooner or latter to
make himself ridiculous and also dis
honsst,-N. Y. Sun.

AGRICULTURAL PROSPECTS IN ALA
BBAA.Farmers are preparing for heavy
cropsthis year. We hope their fondest hopes
may be realized, but think that they
ought to be sure over and above all else
to plant plenty of corn. It's getting SO
now that hogs and cows are unmolested,
and the surplus corn can be used to great
advantage inmaking bacon and beef. The
corn crib ought to be at home and not in
the West. The figures so far show that
the guano sales are greater than ever be-
fore in Alabama. 1t is estimated that
the amount sold in Alabama is twice wbat
it has heretofore been at this season o.
the year. Most of it is to be used on oul
cotton lands.-Montgomery (Ala.) Adrcr
