lowing order, under date of Jan. 10th
The Military Board convened BY general or
ders No Il, A. q. o., 1877, End that lst Lieut.
Thomas Ii. Gately of the Portland Montgomery
Guards, in regard to his capacity" "qualifcs-
lions" and efficiency" "is qualified to hold the
position he now occupies in the Militia, both
from his general efficiency 10 his education as a
Military man, and also bis general reputation As
citizen" but they further lind in their opinion.
Lieut.. Gately has been guilty of improperly Of
conduct in allying himself with u fraction Of the
company hostile to the commanding officer and
openly opposing his methods of discipline tn us fos
terng spirit Of discontelt and lmpairing bis
own efficiency
The finding of the Board is enough to authorize
the Commander in Chief to vacate the commits
sion of Lieut.. Gstely; for however qualified by
Military knowledge" Industry" or liability"
the fact of his incipient characterization, and a
disposition to foster spirit Of discomfort is sub
yersve Of correct discipline. and tends to fatally
injure the Military organization.
The Commsnder-n-Chief wishes strongly to
discountensnce and condemn such Improperly of
conduct especially in this company where he has
every reason to approve the methods of discipline
of the commanding officer, and is only prevented
from executing the substantial finding of the
Board by their report as to the qualifications of
Lieut.. Gately, and their suggestion that his con
duct did rot not proceed from wrong intent.

now absent are Patterson, Sharon, Ingalls, and
Garland Patterson is detained at home bv sick

current one. SO it must recsivs approval of the

THE TROUBLES GROaIyG MORE
SERIOUS.

NEW YORK, January 10. 1t Is stated that the
troubles between the Grand Trunk and other
trunk lines ara growing more serious daily. Pri-
waite despatchsS from Boston say the Boston & Al
bany railroad is taking freight Tor the West at
whatever figures can be obtained, without any re-
gard to schedule rates.
Shipments of firstcass freight have been made
to ST. Lou, and Chicago, a. low as twenty five
cents per one hundred pounds, below tariff rates,
ard fourth class freight has been taken at reduc-
ton of ten cents per one hundred pounds.
Shipments by the Grand Trunk railroad from
New York via Portland, have greatly increased
recently. The steamer from New York to Port
land, which sailed Thursday, was unable to carry
all the freight offered, large portion Of which
was for the West. 1t was claimed Yesterday, by
the rival agents, that this line was taking freight
for the West as low a. -Nty-two cents, the sched-
ule rate for which is Sl.00.
