COSBY LETTER ABOUT PEOPLE AND
~ THINGS.
WASHINGTON, July 20.-Onc of the de-
serving Democrats whom part of his con-
stituency wish to replace bya new and in
experienced man in the house of represent
tatiyes, is Hon. Eppa IIunton of Virginia.
His district borders on the District of Col
umba and the opposition to Mr.. Hunton
originated with a small class of people here.
The mass of our people know and respect
Mr.. II. and hope for his return. But mere
ly personal questions should have little
weight in such case. Mr.. II. is sound
Democrat, able, honest and industrious.
and the party should not be deprived in
the next house of the weight which these
qualities, added to experience in legislation,
give him. In truth, the tendency to change
representatives is an evil one, and should
be countcnanccd only when the proposed
change will certainly place in congress Il
hi'iC ublc HDlcSl lllull.
Following up his recent spiteful kicks at
Senators Blaine and Conkling, Mr. Hayes
has commenced warfare upon Gen. Butler
by suspending Postmaster Parker, at New
Orleans. Parker is Buffers brother-in-law.
No doubt any connection with Butler, even
by marriage, ought to be held to disqualify
a man from holding public office if not
rendering him liable to severe punishment.
but unfortunately for Mr.. Hayes he did not
act at time when the suspension of Parker
could be attributed to anything but spite.
Now let us see how Butler takes this chal-
lenge. Let us see if he has any bricks left
in his hat. 1t is fair to say that no charges
had been made against Parker in connec-
ton with the discharge of his duties.
An examination of the evidence in the
Fiz John Porter case-that put in by the
officer and the governments evidence as
far as reported--seems to show that the
general was convicted and punished with
out full understanding by the court
martial Of the facts in the case. 1t is be-
lieved here that the officers now making all
inquiry into the case will recommend ac-
ton favorable to the general. If case
Of this kind, where the accused had posi-
ton, friends and an unsurpassed record
for courage and skill as an Of
ticer was decided by the original court at
ter only a partial examination of its merits,
how great is the probability that in the
thousands Of cases of poor, ignorant, friend
less soldiers, the like course was pursued
Let lis have a permanent board, composed
of citizens of standing, whose duty it shall
be to inquire into the findings of every
court martial held during the war, if the
convicted party or his heirs shall so desire.
Let that board be directed, in case it shall
appear that men were convicted against the
evidence, or merely of technical violations
of law or regulations, to recommend to
congress such relief as is now possible.
The next session of congress should not 90
by without the passage of an act creating
such Il board as is here Indicated
