MILITARY LAW.

Military law, II there Is any such thing, Is n
strange anomaly. During one presidential term
confirmed drunkards and men who are even by
their friends acknowledged reproach to tho
military service, after receiving the sentence ITO
be cashicred," with no recommendation whatever
for clcmcncy either as nm act of the court or in
consideration of previous gallant services, never
theless continue TO wear their uniforms, sport their
titles, and draw their pay. Pending another adj
minislration II has been found that instances OF
partial iutoxichtioH have been sufficient, even in
theface OF a recommendation, from the court for
clemency, to dismiss officers of excellent war rec
ord and acknowledged professional ability. The
article of war in the case Is mandatory, and COM
pels acourt TO sentence an officer TO dismissal if
convicted OF being drunk on duty; but the spirit
OF this article Is not Justly interpreted when such
sentence is made arbitrarily TO rest on one single
instance Of the offcnse Certainly court that sits
face to face with the witness in case, acting as
military courts do, In the double capacity
of judge and jury, ought to have, some
consideration shown its recommendations,
and no colonel orgeneral who has son or sons TO
promote by the dismissal of officers undergoing
trial ought 10 be allowed TO say word as to the
proceedings, much less upset the findings of a
court-martial. Military law needs reconstruction
SO that nl like cases may receive something
akin in their final disposition Especially is II to
DO regarded as grevious injustice, IL by any
blunder of omission or commission, when case
is laid before the President his attention Is not
prominently directed to any recommendation by
the members constituting the court martial.

SAYINGS.


Faith gives life, and fellowship makes 1t en-.
durable.
Wherever ELI Perkins is, there write hic jacet
contneRter." 1t may be bad Latin. but the moral is
sound.
The fellow who would get up a corner on the
devils autograph just now could do q right lively
business.
All the one horse editors and politicians who
are not full of wise suggestions to the President ON
his administration are dead.
This generation has furnished the telephone, q
good deal of electricity, and some OF the most sub
lime fools the world ever saw.
A fur-lined cloak can get wrong side out more
often than ll-rigged ulster and II don't take
much of breeze 70 make the fur fly either.
According TO Scripture, It did not take much OF
an angel to make full-sized devil In the frst in.
stallment and there Is no record TO show that the
standard has ever been elevated.
The people are watching and waiting for a
statesman who will rise up solemnly and COM
posedy like the Washington Monument, and look
Il street car pass in the face calmly without dis
playing any passion or weakness for IT,
can not discover that the cats Of tho Capital
exhibit any more culture tonight in their discus
sions than the cats have heard discuss on the
same subjects out West under log-cabins in my
boyhood. Cats seem to hang on To first principles
with remarkable tenacity. ] also notice that the
time -honored principles OF the Democratic party
adhered TO about closely as they were twenty
years ago.-ByJ J. Ia0o, Jor 7As RspHbtiooH.

chord was struck, and every Irishman in the
throng responded. A scene of indescribablc con-
fusion followed the secretarys table was literally
piled with greenbacks. The spirit OF emulation
spread In oil directions, reached TO the crowded
up to the desk. Every person in the great hall
seemed TO be represented by some amount and
many members gave the last cent they had over
and above what was needed to pay their expenses
home. A total of S27,450 was raised in the short
time of the frenzy of the excitement.

In your article clipped from the Traveller headed
"A Recollection The Assassination of Lincoln and
the Hanged Conspirators," some errors seem to
have crcpt in, indicating that the writer was draw
ing somewhat upon his Imagination. ] do not

when permission was asked for the privilege OF
disinterring and removing the bodies by the rela-
tives of the conspirators such requests were

were buried in or near the "old Capitol prison."
They wcreall buried in the arsenal grounds, where
the trial took place. Al that time the "old
penitentiary" OF the District was situated very
near where the commandants' quarters now stand
the two large brick buildings first met with
ser entering the gr0gndsVSnd a., high brick Wal
river round TO the old brick quarters further down
on the east side of the grounds. The trial took
place In this penitentiary, and the bodies Of Mrs.
Surratt, Atzerodt, Payne, and Harold were bur
led inside the wall in the rear of the building.
Many stories were circulated about the disposition
of Booths body, such as its being blown TO pieces
from the mouth OF cannon, its being cut up and
strewn around the country. of its being taken out
sunk, &C., and ono of the pctorials of that time
contained an illustration OF the sinking Of Il at
sea, or down the Potomac. All Of these stories
were mere conjectures The body was taken iuto
one of the large warehouses In the arsenal
grounds, one OF the large Hat stones forming
the ,ie floor was removed, grave dug and
being carefully replaced and the very few who
participated In the disposition of the body and
were cogniZant of the facts, were pledged TO abso-
Lutte secrecy by order of the Secretary of War The
body remained there until its delivery 10 the fam
lily, when II was removed TO Baltimore and in
tered In the family lot and only then did the fact
become known where IL had been buried The
writer says the head dropped from the body. Quite
likely, for dissection OF the neck was made
shortly after death, and that portion of the spine
through which Sergeant Corbetts bullet passed
was removed, ana is now deposited IN the Army
Medical Museum on Tenth street. The appearance
OF the other bodies may have been described in
the article, II the writer really saw them the
different occasions when they were exhumcd, but
they were not buried at the Old Capitol prison.
Wirtz, tho keeper OF Andersonville prison, was
hung In the yard of the Old Capitol prison, and /
think may have boon buried there. S.B.

The Mutual Uplon TeIegrnph Company


NEW YORK, Dec. 15.--In connection with the suit
Brought by n Mr. Cameron. of Providence, to
restrain the delivery of tho Mutual Union Telc-
graph Company's securities. Mr.. George william
Ballou, of Ballou & Co., the financial agents of
tho company, was asked IL the company had
settled upon its line Of defense, and Ii he could
throw any light upon the motives prompting the
suit. He replied " II Is hardly necessary for us to
take cognizance of this action unless ali injunc-
ton should issue, In which case We are prepared
to meet It, preliminary injunction will not be
asked for, however, because upon such motion
we could be heard at once and expose the falsi y
OF the assumptions made In the bill.
We had notice some time ago that such q suit
would be brought by a Mr.. Cameron, and that he
had bought stock in the Mutual Union Company
for this purpose, and that he was working IN the
interests Of MIR. Erastus wiman, of Dunn, Wman
& Co., director in the Western Union Company,
and that this was TO be continuation of the efforts
of the Western Union Company TO disturb the
operations of the Mutual Union. Mr. Cameron Is
an agent or in the employ of Dunn, Wiman & Co.,
at Providence, we understand, and owns seventy
five shares of this stock, and claims that we are
giving to purchasers the securities at too low n
price, or, in other words, that the purchasers
getting too much for their money"
VIII this suit deter purchasers from making
their payments and receiving their Mutual Union
securtiesg
mot at all. The assessments are being paid
regularly, and the securities will be delivered ac-
cording to the agreement"
