records will allow. It is found that many
Of the regImental books have beer retained
by the officers last in command, and, as q re-
suit many regiments with excellent records
will not appear as prominently. as
they should. The same IS true Of many,

etlied in q great degree even now, and
for many commands entirely remed1ed
if the officers who have retained these rec:
ords would send them by express to the

Sptetat Dtspafch to The Chicago 1rt1urs.
ABBEv1L1E, S. c., July 2.-A horrible
affair occurred here to-day, which had its
origin In illicit love on the one hand and
wo1nan's forbcarance on the other. 1t seems
that Abraham Martin has Tor the past twelve
years been living in open adultery with
Estilla Greenwood. His wife, Mrs, Lucinda
Martin, who has lived with him thirty-fiye
years and borne him fourteen children, yes
terday demonstrated with him on the life Of
shame he was leading, and warned him he
would have to either give her up or his para
mour. This morning, upon his announce
nlent that he meant to live as he
pleased, OF words'to that effect, she packed
up and made preparations to leave the house,
saying she would not live with him any
longer. At this he went out III the yard, and
hacking her about the body and shoulders in
such horrible manner that she cannot live
through the night. II caught: he will be
dealt hardly with. The murderer is nearly

THAT BOGUS OPINION.
TIE "WoRLp's rnEp1cAMENT.

sptcs01 Dapdtch to 7he Chicago Tribune,
WASHINGTON. D. c., July 24.-The New York
Ford to-day prints statement from their reg
ular correspondent who furnished the bogus
opinion OF Justice swayne. Their correspondent
quotes long article On the subject from For
ney's Progress of July II, and ciuims that he sent
an extrnct from it, suppos,ng it to be correct.
The fact is the Torld dispatch, as it was print
ed, does not follow the print Of the Progress.
but omits clause Of a sentence in the alleged
opinion Of Justice Swuyne that, had It been re-
tained, would ut once have stamped it as bogus.
The World editorially still prctends to believe
that the matter was before the Supreme Court,
in spite Of Justice .Swaynes assertion to the
contrary, and in its article on the subject
strengthens the belief that the whole thing was
deliberately manufactured for campaign effect

the nomination of Gen. Garfield at Chicago.
The night before the nomination was made
there was good deal Of pressure brought
upon Gen. Garfield to induce him to consent
to allow his friends to endeayor to force his
nomination the succeeding day. Gen. Gar
field all along had repelled every motion Of
the kind. On the night preceding the NOM
ination. at a late hour, Gen. Grosvenor Wis
tied Gen. Garfield at his hotel, the Grand
