SERGEANT MASoN,S CRIME.
The Charges Against Iiirn-His Plain yio-
Intion of Duty.

There has been more or less discussion
as 10 whether the civil or military courts would
try Mason. The fact that court. martial has been
appointed TO meet at Washington, as noted under
our heading of" Second Artillery" has mlslcd the
daily papers. This court martial has been called
for routine business, and wasordered before Mason
committed his OlIense. Besides u court to try
Mason would manifesty have to be constituted
somewhat differently General Hancock has
received the charges against Sergeant Mason
There are two, as follows; Fir,t--Conduct pre-
judicial to good order and military discipline
Second-Attempting TO shoot prisoner without
orders from superior officer Doubtless a general
courtmartial will be organized for Masons trial
next week under the sixty y-second Article of War.
We repeat that the violation of duty by Sergeant
Mason is one for which there Is no excuse lie
detcstGd GuitCau; but he had no monopoly Of de-
tcstation, for every right-minded citizen feels the
same sentiments. But he has succeeded in inilict-
ing u severe blow on the honored reputation of
the army for being body that could be trusted TO
execute the laws, no matter what We're the sway

Debate In the United states Senate-Re.
mnrIfs orScn ntors Sumner aud morrill,.
THE REPUBLICAN of the 18th instant
gave AN interesting history Of the Sumner tree
The proceedings Of the Senate in relation TO the
survey tho grounds and Mr. Summers remarks
In favor Of sparing that tree were as follows:
In the Senate, on the 22d OF January 1874, Mr.
Morrill, of Vermont, from the Committee on Pub
lie Buildings and Grounds, reported bill appro-
priating $1,000 for Geographical survey of Capt.
tai Park, including the newly-acquircd additions
extending to d streets north and south of the
Capitol
Mr.. Sumner inquired what the committee in
tended to do in regard to the trees.
Mr.. Morrill, replied that 1t would be time enough
to consider what should be done with the trees
after the typographical survey should he COM
pleted and the maps made; that us the survey and
plans would be conducted by Mr.. Fred Law Ohm
stead who planned the Central Park in New York,
the Senate could rest assured that this work
would he properly done.
Mr. Sumner said " ! hope the committee will
act courngcously with regard to these trees. I
Know the saying 'Woodman, spare that tree, and
| certainly should not touch tree except with
hesitation and caution. But stll take 1t that in
architecture and in the grounds that surround n
great public structure II Is now settled from ex-
perence aud the rules OF taste that trees are not
spent immense sums TO rear an edifice with an
architectural front We should not place trees be-
tween that front and the traveller or the spectator
All should be exposed. Trees, therefore, rs a gen.
eral rule, In the street are hardly in place but
certainly they nre out of place in the neighbor-
hood OF great public monument. which should
be exposed 10 the gaze Of all Trees have been
allowed TO grow about the Capitol on the east sidc
ana also on tho side toward Pennsylvania avenue
by which the view OF the Capitol is seriously OBJ
siructcd. think that now Is the time when
the subject should be carefully considered, and
those trees, II not entirely removed at least so
thinned out ns not essentially to interfere with the
sight OF one Of the most magnificent structures of
the globe, for that hold this National Capitol 10
be. There is one tree, however, in the grounds
opposite the Capitol. the cast that must at amy
cost be spared. II Is beautiful bccch not nm
American beech, but believe classical beech
and then II is, TO my mind, thing Of perfect
beauty. When II is clothed In all its foliage dur
ing the summer know of nothing in the District
of Columbia that is equal to It in beauty 1t is
distinctly seen from the marble steps that conduct
to the Senate Chamber, and 1 hope my friend
Senator MorrilD viii see to 1t that that tree does
not suffer"
