WASHINGTON.

NO MORE DRUNKENNESS ON DUTY TO BE
ALLOWED IN THE ARMY.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-Gen. Sher-
man has issued q general order from
the headquarters the army In which
he says: The President is much con-
cerned to find before him for action
the proceedings of the courts martial
in several cases where officers have
been tried for violation Of the thirty
eighth article of war, which provides
that any officer found drunk on duty
shall be dismissed from the service.
The President desires it to be known
to the army that he cannot be led to
underratc the magnitude of the evil
of which the crime alluded to is likely
to produce in the public service. No
person addicted to it can expect to be
entrusted with any responsible duty,
and q person who cannot be trusted
had better not be continued in Office.
1t must therefore be understood that
any clemency which may have been
heretofore extended by the mitigation
or cemmutation of the sentence can
not hereafter be relied upon as ba-
sis of hope for like favorable action.
After this solemn warning q rigor-
ous execution of the sentences imp0s-
ed in due course by the courts mar.

A Pierce Leopard Loose in Ohio.

- - A0ASS 64SSHtAe - -OOOS -
A telegram from Redwood, o., to
the Da, ton Journal, dated the 18th
inst, has this startling story "The
people in the neighborhod of Rich.
wood, Union County, were startled
yesterday, by the report that wild
leopard was ranging the woods.
Some boys brought the news. The
animal ponnced upon them, and one
of the number was dangerously in-
jured. The neighborhood was arous-
ed. Many turned ont and a hunt was
begun, with the determination to
capture or kill the savage beast. The
party had not long been in pursuit
when they encountered the object of
their search, with a moat disastrous
result to themselves. The leopard
made sudden and most unexpected
assault upon his pursuers, springing
rapidly upon one after another till
several were prOstratcd. John Ster-
ling was badly torn aud bitten. John
Cahill received severe wounds in the
head. Mr.. Stanmates, two of the
Davisses and Mr.. Clifton were all
very much injured. Two of the par
ty are said to be in very critical
condition. tits said that during the
chase the leopard was shot twice
through the body, and during the
fight, while standing over one Of the
PROSTATE hunters, the beast was shot
. third time. This afternoon the dogs
gave the alarm in the woods, about
two miles north Of Redwood. Hall
an hour later the men who went in
pursuit found dog that was literal
ly torn to pieces, but the leopard was
out of sight. There 10, Of course,
great excitement among the people
In town and country over the appear
ance of this ferocious animal. The
supposition IL that II escaped from
q mcnagerie, though no exact do
scription has yet been given Of itt
color and size."

The silver bill was yesterday, the
2lst inst, reported back by the finance
committee, to the Senate. 1t has but
. single amendment, viz: that Of
Senaotr Allison, which really does
not very materially affect the bill
passed by the House, though It may
very properly DO considered an im-,
provement. The real gist, however,
Of the House bill, Is retained in
providing for the coinage Of the old
silver dollar of 4l2K grains and
it : legal tender for all debts,
public and private, except where the
between parties provides
otherwise. This bill will probably
pass the Senate within week, as re-
ported, and we believe it will go back
10 the House and be agreed 10. Then
will come the Presidents time for
action and we confidently look for his
approval Of it. We confess we cam.
not see how he can avoid 1t with any
show of reason. The fact is that there
,annot be gathered in the United
States, q party that shall comprise
,ne fiftieth part of the voters Of this
,ountry which shall stand in oppose
ion to the full remonitization of sill
7er in some form.
The people of this country will be
10 longer triflcd with about it. We
ire no ways sure that If, during this
winter, silver shall not be placed
Ilong side of gold as legal tender,
n some shape, it would be q basis
,road enough, important enough and
enough, to be the rallying
'ry that would push aside all other
Issues in crystalizing the
,ote of the country in coming elec-
ions. We must think that the JUS
ice and common sense of Congress
md the President must see all this
md decide the case at once in favor

| fees in the line of his policy of con
ciliation. Patterson and Conovei
say In this, especially the latter, tha
our homes are In these States, our fam.
lilies are there, our property Is there
and we see no reason why we should
not also try the conciliation policy Of
the President and yield something to
our opponents for the sake Of peace.
They say 1t can certainly be no moro
a violation of republican good faith
or 4 stretch Of ones honor to give the
republican state away in the Senate
than it was in reference to its Cover
nor and its Legislature, and they may
add with singing force, If the Legls-
lature of the State, which elects the
U. S. Senator, be given up, why quar-
rel over the creature OF that Iegisla-
ture.
Again, Judge Davis, Of ILL.,, the
most noted wcathcrcock in tho Unit
ed States at present and for ten years
last past, in his effort after tho Presi-
doncy, voted with the democrats.
For reasons he and few OF the DEM
ocracy only know, this political slack
rope performer has got down on the
democratic side this time to assist in
carrying out trick to seat Hamburg
Butler in the United States Senate.
We notice that all this has set the
Chicago Tribune q bowling. That
journal better hire somebody to kick
its editor in chief down stairs and out
forever into the waste places for a
long season of repentance, for being
the cause Of Davis being in the U. s.
instead of that gallant, able
and perpendicular republican, Gen.
John A. Logan. The Chicago 7sTb-
une bewailing the republican extrem-
ity in the Senate, is like the wolf with
his nav full of mutton, sympathiz-
ing with tho shepherd for his loss.
The picture presented in the pres
ent situation Of the Senate and that
one the case of vile wretch like
Butler, is indeed most sickening
ON the action of the
Tribune and the extreme pacific poll
cy of the administration.

that he abolished slavery by hVrling
