the Princess Louise, Wh, vas departing

THE record in the recent cOurt-martial
of Major Reno, of the Seventh Cavalry
has been received by the Judge Advocate
General. This is the second time Reno
has been cOurt-martialed for serious Of
lenses within two years. The sentence
of the former court was dismissal from
the service, but the President committed
it to suspension and loss of pay. Reno
was not back i'm the service two months
before he was cOurt-martialed again
and the sentence this time is also dis
missal. 1t is not probable that the
President will modify the sentence this
time.

PETER STRIKER of the Ohio legislature
received, the other day, in response to
some resolutions sent to Germany, a
Autograph card with portrait of EN-
peror William surrounded with blue
flowers and wheat heads. Upon the card
was written:
Kaiser Wilhelm, greeting. The mem
bors of the Ohio legislature. With the
compliments of the season. Stettin
January 1, 1880. Obediently, Leopold
Burkhardt.
Accompanying the card was curiOusly
cut sheet of stiff, elastic paper, which,
on being taken out of the envelope, i'm
mediately unfOlded itself and sprang
erect in the form Of a full-rigged ship
under sail, of beautifully correct proper
tiOns.
THE Democratic majority of the House
Committee on Appropriations last week
finally agreed to report fayOrably the de-
.iciency bill for tie payment OF Unites
states marshais, iog which, DO prOyisiOi
vas made by the last Congress in Orde,
20 defeat the election law. The bill q
| itself is fatal admission of the folly
and fraud to which the deficiency is
chargeable. Yet, as if to advertise YET
further the ineradicable objections OF
the party to any interference with frauds
at the ballot box, the bill, as reported
will expressly provide that no portion OF
the six hundred thousand dollars apprO'
priated to cover the deficiency shall be
expended for payment for any services
rendered by marshals or their deputies
under the election law.
THE Hon. Tom KeOgh of North Caro-.
lima, Secretary of the National Repub
lican Committee. was in Washington
last week. He says the Presidential con
test is going to be the hottest ever
known. Both parties, he claims, are
organizing earlier than they ever have
done before. The Republican head
quarters will be opened in Washington
Feb. 1, which is three months earlier
than they have ever been opened before
Mr.. Keogh will take personal charge al
the time mentioned and remain until
the convention. He is an OutSpOkeI
Grant man, but says that the Southern
delegations will be about equally divid
ed between Sherman and Grant. Blaine
he thinks, will not get vote from the
South.
