THE MURDER OF MARY s

IHE MURDER OF MARY STASNARD.-A spe-
clal dispatch TO the New York Times from New
haven, Dec. 22. says: The press dispatch was
In ne error regarding the date OF the beginning OF
Rev. ID. III. Hayden's trial for the murder OF
airy t. Stannard. The states attorney in
ms your correspondent that no date has been
nXed, that the trial cannot well begin as early
as Jan. A. and that all that can be said is that
IL Will be tried some time between the middle
OF January and the 1St OF March. The knife
discovered not long ago near the scene OF the
murder and taken possession OF by the state,
mas been microscOpically examined by Prof. NJ
c. White, who found the blood on Hayden's
knife, and no trace OF blood has been found on
II, so 1t drops out OF the case. The trousers OF
Old Benjamin Stevens which were said to have
had blood on them, have been similarly exam
ined, and no trace OF blood has been found on
them. 1t is still believed that the recent action
of the police here In looking for mysterious
body, said to have been buried in the outskirts
Of the city, had some bearing upon the Stan
nard case The theory of some is that certain
persons intended to tamper with Mary's body,
but were betrayed by one OF the party before
their plans were carried into effect, and that
the actions of the authorities though apparent
ly futile, were really effective in preventing
such tampertng.

WHAT ARMY OFFICERS THINK OF 1T.
Gen. Sherman has sent copies of the army
bill proposed by the Burnside committee to the
commanders CT military departments and other
most prominent eflicers of the army. He has
received replies from several of these officers,
expressing their opinions as to the merits Of
the propC sed measure of army legislation.
GEN. UPTON,
commanding the artillery school at Fortress
Monroe. says in letter just received by Gen.
sherman 1.-The new army bill is received and
l must say it agreeaby disappointS me. Con-
greSS has never shown so favorable or friendly
IA disposition before. The provisions for reduc-
tion are extremely liberal. while tie proposed
settlement OF many VeXed questions is so mani
feStly for the best interests of the service that
hope the bill may become a law. Command
and administration seem to be very plainly d.

fusion of the past. TIE staff will become a

GENERAL HANCOCK
writes under date OF December 1Tth:-"I have
come to the conclusion that there will not be
much harm done If the staff suffers some by the
burnside resolution. When the staff and line
OF an army are in hostile array, as in our ser
vice to-day. the public service cannot be as well
attended TO, think, as II no such state of af-
fairs existed. l can understand why the line is
hostile in tie eDcrOachmCntS and greed OF the
staff for honor; but by should Congress or its
committees lie so hostile TO the staff! / think
it can only be accounted for on the idea that the
pressure in Congress year by year on the part
OF numerous staff has inceused them / do
not know who is responsible for the bill OF
BurnSides coinnittde, but think il has many
very good things i'll it, and is likely TO become a
law"
GENERAL SCH0FTELD,
superintendent OF the military academy, SAYS:
I" / really think we have reason to be gratified
with the work OF tie committee; although we
would gladly save so great a cutting down of
the officers if possible. The mode of doing this
Sas liberal as could be expected, ii it has to be
done. think you can rely upon the support OF
