OUR WASHINGTON LETTER

WAsHINGTON, d. c., Aug. 90 1879.
The telegraph has informed the country
OF the reversal OF the sentamce of Il court
martial on which sixteen years ago Sur
geon General Wi liam A. Hammond was
cashered-and the universal feeling is
that this long delayed act is well done.
The question arises, however, why Gen.
Townsend should be put on the retired list
withom pay, II the sentence ag inst him
was unjust, and his dismissal from the
service grevious wrong, it is difficult
now that the sentence is reversed and he is
put on the retired list to see the Justice of
making such II distinction between him
and other retired cthccrs Us to make him
the only one retired without pay.
In this case, and in Gen. Porlcr's, it is
the opinion Of most people here that the
reversal of the sentence is proper. Now,
these are the only two cases in which CON-
grcss has intertered. Does not the result
in these cases show ;hal Congress ought To
provide some way for others convicted by
Court martial--vulnutee snldiers--to prove
their innocence. The bcnei OF Govern
ment should not be confined To those who
have political and social influence Whv
not have Board OF Officers, or other per-
sons, here. charged with the duty Of in.
quiring into any court martial sentence
that the convicted man may declare un-
just? 1t would cost the Government very
little. 1t would secure justice to hundreds
OF innocent men.
One million, two hundred thousand
dollars in gold bars arrived at New York
by steamer Canada from Europe Yesterday.
This is II part Of the hundreds Of millions
Of coin and U. S. bonds now coming to
this country, each year, to pay for our
| agricultural products aud manufactures,
sent abroad in excess of all the goods we
buy Of other nations. Truly the outlook
towards the future for the financial and
business prosperi y of this country is
brighter than at any time during the past
history. The party which has governed
the country through the greater of modern
wars, and has, so soon, brought us to this
gratifying condition, must be held To be
more worthy Of confidence than another
party which not only brought on that
war, but had destroyed our credit be-
fore the war began. LEO.

Intelligence
They had elected President
sworn to preserve, protect and de-
fend the Constitution, for a COM
pensation of $25,00O per annum,
but the enemies of the Constitu-
ton secured Tim to their side by
giving him, in the form of presents,
more than his legal salary would
amount tn in four years. When
the private gifts ceased Congress
presented him with an equal
amount out of the public treasury,
and so his Administration became
an anti-constitutional job from bs-
ginning to end. The army aud
navy aud all the executive depart
ments, the whole organized physi-
cal force, all the offices aud
all the money of the ma
tion were in hostile hands.
Every atom of this mighty
power was thrown against liberty
and justice. The Southern States
were wholly deprived of their au
tonomy, their Goverum ents crush
ed out and their people placed un-
der the absolute dominion of noto-
rious thieves, while in the Com,
monw, us of the North, as well
as in Congress, legislation was c.u'
trolled by great rings organized to
enrich themselve by robbing

made this last statement on the

BISHOP GILBERT HAVEN has not
proved success as a reviver of the
bloody shirt" in Los Angeles.
This distinguished gentleman is
known as a sensationalist in relig-
ion and as disposed to make his elo-
quence the medium of intensity
ing sectional bitterness. He could
not possibly have come to worse
region than Los Angeles In which
to air his bigotry. The population
here is made up almost equally OF
citizens from the East, West and
South. They have all about left
the ugly Nightmares Of slavery and
the war well behind them. They
live in charity one with another,
aud do not feel like unearthing the
national skeleton. There can be
little doubt, from the tenor of all
the comment we have heard, that
Bishop Ravens remarks were, to a
high degree, calculated to irritate a
very large and respectable portion
of our people. Ministers of the
Word cannot err very far if they
stick very closely to the text of the
Gospel and preach solely the doc.
trnes of the Crucfied Redeemer.

The many friends OF. Major Ross
have been very much annoyed by
the delay in the receipt of full fig.
ures of the Judicial election. In
thirty-eight counties, including
San Francisco, the Major only runs
1868 votes behind Morrison. This
leaves him 6SS plurality over the
highest Republican candidate. The
Prescriptions are that the remain.
ing foul teen counties will improve
rather than diminish the apparent
plurality of our townsman.
