recovering from Illness. a small quantity with a

Circumstances Alter Cases.

| Some time ago Major Reao's counsel
waited on Tecumseh Sherman to induce
him TO recall his approval of the court mar
tails sentence. He found Sherman in a
Rhadamanthine mood. To his argument
that there was doubt IN the case, of which
Reno should have the benefit, the man who
marched to the sea replied Il can be
nothing. An officer of the army must be
above doubt or suspicion Yon officers Of
the civil law would rather have ninety-nine
guilty men escaped than have one innocent
man punished. You talk about giving
Mayor Reno the benefit of the doubt, but
an othcer OF the army must be above
doubt"
Nothing could be more edifying: but
| has this military moralist succeeded in
>quarlng his own practice with his notion
Ii is not SO very long since a major general,
Que OF his old corps commanders, was ar
ralngned before the country for violating
the army regulations governing the dis
bursement of public money, and for gross
neglgence-to use the most charitable
words-in the custody of trust funds.
| Prominent functionaries at the war de-
partment made no secret Of their convic-
ton that this officer had added peculation
| " HIS OtueI oncuceS, anu we DeHeVe Jnefc
was record evidence to fasten the crime
upon hlm. A court of inquiry was con-
vened Gen. William t. Sherman sat at
the head of the table, listened to the testi-
mony, and joined in the judgement o. o.
Howard was given the benefit. not of a
doubt, but of technically. Neither at
the time nor since does it seem to have oc-
CURED to Sherman to apply to this case
the principle that IAN officer of the army
must be above doubt"
| Still more recently, major ofengineers,
living at the White House. was caught GER
titying to false measurements for the be-
neft Of gang of vulgar conspirators
against the treasury. The evidence of his
guilt was conclusive. But he went on
drawing his pay as an officer of the army,
and the general of the army, who is so
jealous of its reputation when only from
tier Indian fighter is in question, never
opened his lips. Later, when this same
major of engineers was indicted tor
| furnishing another gang of thieves with
information useful to them in robbing the
government, and only escaped conviction
by the skin OF his teeth, Gen. Sherman
remained dumb Other and younger off
GERS have WINGED under the disgraceful re-
tention Of Orville f. Babcock's name on
the army list. But the general of the
army does not seem to mind-N. 7. Sun.
