CADET WHITAKER.
The Report of the Court Martial
He Will Get the Grand Bounce.

WASHINGTON, August 5.-On account of
his attendance upon the President, Judge
Advocate General Swain has been unable
until yesterday to attend to his duties at
his office. sJt'aevolves upon him to review
and report upon number of important
cases, among which is Cadet Whittaker's
case. That work was commenced yester-
day. Il was found that the record of the
late court martial in Whittaker's case not
only hnds him guilty of cutting his own
ears, but Of lying about it.
The court recommends that WhittsfI er
be dismissed the service. The Judge
Advocate General will concur in the re-
port, and Whitaker will get his bounce as
soon as the President is sufficiently recov-
cred to finally dispose of the case.

dinner in Red Canon, on the San Mateo
mountains, they were surprised by Indians.
At the first fire one man was killed and
seven were wounded. All the stock was
captured. The remainder of the whites
then got behind the rocks and dispatched
two men to Fort Craig for help. General
Hach ordered Lieut.. Guilfoyle and de-
tachment of fifty men at Fort Craig to the
scene of the fight, where they have proba-
bly, arrived before this.
ga courier has been dispatched for two
companies of cavalry scouting IN

Two companies will leave the Navajo Re

Judge Hughes on the Thoroughbred
Horse

Judge Ro w Hughes is one of the most
widely cultivated and versatile public men OF
the day.
His harp is of thousand strings. whose
notes range from "grave to gay from lively to
severe"
AS a journalist of the State Rights School
he ranked with the ablest contributors to the
political literature of the exciting decade
which Immediately preceded the war, and to
his facile pen doubtless, in as large measure
as to that of his brilliant associate, the late
John nj. Daniel the old Richmond Examiner
was indebted for its great influence and fame.
As Judge, his opinions, both in STYLE and
substance compare favorably with the best
emanations from the Federal Bench, and-we
~ may add to his credit-are freer from partisan
bias than those of any of his brother Federal
Judges in the South that have fallen under
our eyes,
He has written, too, largely and ABLY. upen
transportation, finance. and kindred TONES of
public interest and ALWAYS with the attention
and respect of a large body ofthouebtf1l read
|. ers. who are ready to bear willing testimony
to the force and originality of his views
It is only when the Judge strays into the
forbidden field of partisan politics flor which.
we are bound to say. he has a stronger pen,
chant than COMFORTS with the traditional dig
nity of his high office) that he exposes himself
to sharp criticism. and from our standpoint.
to merited censure.
Two years ago when the Greenback fever
was at its height, his articles upon "Currencv''
in the Richmond State were the soundest most
satisfactory. and notential in mouIdinp a
wholesome public sentiment upon that intri-
cate subject, of any that we read and that we
do not oyerestimate their value is shown by
the fact that they have since been collected in
volume which is now standard authority
upon national finance.
But this is not ALL Judge Hughes is equally
at home upon matters pertaining to horse
there is letter from him to Mai. Thomas W.

The Sun.

1t is pitiful to witness the condition of the
SUM- The great fire ball is in intense commo-
ton. His surface is scanned and scared in ev-
cry direction, with black spots that indicate
the disturbing elements at work in his chaotic
mass. Occasionally, for a day or two, the
blemishes disappear, and the glorious king of
day shows a face like shield of glowing gold
rushing in all directions and assuming all
forms. They appear singly and in pairs, and
again in groups and rows. Immense groups
break up into small ones, and small ones unite
to form great chasms, into which half dozen
worlds might be dropped and there would still
be room for more.
| Sometimes the spots are visible to the naked
eye, and at that time good opera-glass or a
spy-glass will make them easily perceptible.-
Hundreds Of observers all over the world
watch the suns face every clear day, and keep
record of the number of spots, their size and
the direction in which they move, for as the
sun turns on his axis they turn with him, some
of them remaining for months without much
change, some taking on new forms and some
disappearing entirely. Very little is known Of
this mysterious sun or the spots that are visi-
Bile more than ninety millions OF miles away
Once in about eleven years the sun takes on
his present sun spot phase, and we are ap-
preaching the maximum of disturbance. No
one knows the cause.
Some believe that it is planetary attraction
some that it is the fall of great masses of me-
teoric matter, and some that it is the result o.
internal commotion and the rush upward Of
gaseous explosions, in companion with which
our fiercest volcanic eruptions are but the flick
er of a flame. Besides the sun spot agitation
the gaseous outbursts are marked and vivid
The tongues of flame, or 1osy protuberances
are darting forth in all directions and bearing
their test imony to the solar commotion. Mr.
Trouvelot, of Cambridge, who makes daily OBJ
servations of the suns chromosphere, gives q
graphic description ola remarkable solar pro
tuberance that he witnessed on the 9Th of No
vember When first seen it was large and
complicated, extending upward from the sur
about 100000 miles.
Three or four hours after, it had developed
into huge proportions, extending far out into
space, and vanishing gradually to regions
where it could not be perceived. AS nearly as
it could be measured, it reached height O.
over a quarter of the suns diameter or about
, two hundred and thirty-five thousand miles
Such protuberance hurled upward from the
earth would almost reach the moon! Two
: hours after, the whole structure had collapsed
and was only about eighteen thousand miles
l high. Observations like this give an idea O
2 the mighty forces at work in the solar orb,ant
make observers long for the time when sat
isfactory solution may be found for this mystic
r rious periodical solar disturbance, so intimate
, ly connected with the meteorological condition
of the earth.-Pf00at1ence Journal
