WASHINGTON D. @. Sept. 4, 1879.
The telegraph has informed the
country Of the reversal Of the sen
tence Of a court-martiaI by which
sixteen years ago, Surgeon Gen.
William A. Hammond was cashiered;
and the universal feeling is that this
long delayed act is well done. The
question arises, however, why Gen.
Hammond should be put on the re-
tired list agitho,t pay. If the SEN
tence against him was unjust, and
his dismissal from the service a
grievou5 wrong, It is difficult, now
that the sentence is reversed and he
is put on tie retired let, to see the
justice of making such a distinction
between him and 'other retired Of
fcers as to make him the only one
retired without pay.
In this case, and in Gen. PorEer'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 Congress has in
terfered Does not the result in
these show, that Congress ought to
provide some way for others convict
ed by Observation-Disclosures sold
iers and oficers-to prove their in
nocence?
The benefits Of Government
should not be confined to those who
have political and social influence.
Why not have a Board Of Officers or
other persons here, charged with
the duty Of inquiring iu5o any court
martial sentence, that the convicted
may declare unjust and against the
facts? It would cost the govern
ment very little, and would secure
Justice to hundreds of innocent men.
One million twohundred thousand
dollars in gold have arrived at New
York by steamer Canada, from Eu-
rope, yesterday. This is a part oil
the hundreds Of millions of coin and
Q. S. bonds now coming to this
each year to pay for our
agricultural products and manufac-
lures, sent abroad in excess Of all /
the goods we buy from other nations.
Truly the outlook towards the fu
sure for the financial and business
prosperity of this country is bright
sr than at any time during its past
history. The party which has gov
7rned the country through the great.
est Of modern wars, and has so soon /
brought US to this gratifying condi-
ion, must be held to be more
worthy Of confidence than the party
which not only brought on that war,
1ut destroyed our credit before the
var began. LEO.

Charles EOstnr,

Col. Jones, the editor Of the
Athens Journal, a strong Democrat
ic paper, speaks Of Charles Foster
thus:
We deprecate the personal abuse
in which a DemocraGc paper, now
and then, is indulging Of Charles
Foster. He is a gentleman Of the
highest personal cbaracter-consci-
entiously honest in business, gener-
GUS to the poor, and among his i'm
mediate neighbors and acquaintan-
ces a friend to every man who de-
serves a friend. We know him we'll
and nothing is to be made by ira.
ducing such a man. His political
views and affiliations are what we
quarrel with, and our only regret
is that so clever and true a man II
every respect should not belong tC
our political household.

Judge West, "the blind man eIo.
quent." in his speech at Urbana
thus spoke Of the reception Of Pres
ident Hayes's pacific policy toward
the South:
Peace and fraternity IF the
Southern policy Of the President
subserved no better end, It demon
strated beyond doubt the fact that
the Confederates are incapable ofgen-
erous reciprocity. In the interests of
peace, he offered them reconciliation.
They exact domination. He tender
ed them fraternity. They demand
supremacy. He extended the olive
branch. They return the serpent
of discord, demanding the abdication
of his official oath and duty; that the
Government be stripped of its
Nationality; that it be denied the
power to protect its citizens, or con
troll It's own elections; that every war
measure written in the blood Of its
heroes, for the defense ofthe Nation,
be swept from its statutes because Of
fensive to their sensibiities.

Perhaps the most remarkable literary
enterprise of the time, is the publication
of the Library Of Universal knowledge,
in twenty volumes of 600 pages each,
handsomely bound, for 50 cents perv0lume,
or 5000 for the set. 1T Is a reprint en-
tire of the last ,lS79) Edinburgh and Lon
don editions of Chambers Encyclopedia
4 Dictionary Of Universal knowledge for
the people with very large additions upon
topics Of special interest to American read
ers. The amount Of matter viii some
what exceed that Of the CyCl0padias of
Appleton or johnson, though the price is
but fraction of their cost. Volume one
is to be ready early in September, and the
others will follow at short intervals. The
remarkably low prices are accounted for
by the method of sale, TO the subscribers
direct, saving them the large commission,
often 30 or go per cent, paid to agents or
dealers; also by the recent great reduction
in the cost Of making books, and by
making very large sales. This certainly is
a work that the millions viii appreciate
Special inducements are offered to early
subscribers and to clubs.
The same publishers have recently issued
editions of Chambers CycIopedia Of En-
glish Literature, 4 vols, $500, formerly
sold in , vols, for $500 also Rollins An

It IS denied that Stewards body
has been found, but it is said that
the thieves have offered to produce
it for S250,O0O. Judge Hilton has
portions Of tie coffin in his posses
sion sent him by the robbers, and
they are also known, but no oppor-
tunity has yet offered when they
and the body could be captured to-
ge5her, and for this the police are
waiting. Mrs. Stewart and Judge
Hilton are both determined to make
no compromise with the thieves.

Tits to be hoped that the wise ez-
ample Of the above named gentle
men VIII not be lost upon many Of
their brethren Of the Prohibition
party in Ohio. There are probably
some 1000 to 5000 voters Of that
party who are sound Republicans on
national and financial issues, and
yet who viii commit the folly Of
throwing away their votes this fall,
when taey might be so cast as to aid
in the defeat Of the Confederate
Rag Baby Democracy, and at the
same time promote the cause Of
temperance, by putting the Repubi-
can party in power in the State Leg
islaturs. I5 is well known that the
Democratic majority in that body
last winter refused so give the peo-
pie local option law, while nearly
every Republican voted for it, and it
is nearly certain that should the Re
pubIieans have the majority next
winter. a Local Option law VIII be
passed. Let Prohibitionists think
of this, and vote so that their votes
viii tel in favor Of Local Option,
which IS only Prohibition in another
and more practical form.
