San Francisco: AT the inquest held
on the remains of Gen. Upton to-day,
the testimony of Capt. Hasbrouck, 4th
artillery, and the letters written by the
deceased to his sister and to the adju-
tant general of the United States army,
confirm the previous impression that
the suicide was due to depression OF
mind consequent upon inability to adapt
his system of tactics to the movements
Of companies of 200 or more.
Lieut.. Frederick Schwatka is fast
recovering from the fracture of his leg
by slipping or the ice in New York last
winter. He will pay a visit to his par
ents in Salem, Oregon, during the early
part of next month. His physicians
think he will be physically able to par
ticipate in an Arctic expedition next
spring, and that before he can reach the
point where sledge journeys are sup
posed to commence he will have entire
ly recovered the use of his limb. On
Thursday of last week he received a
package from Major Gen. Alexander
Irving, r. A. G. b., containing yalu-
able testimonials from that officer to
each member Of the Franklin search
party, in commemoration of the renter
ment of the remains of his brother,
Lieut.. John Irving, which were brought
from King William land by Lieut..
Schwatka's search expedition. Lieut..
Schwatka has also received a number
of invitations to lecture throughout the
western portion of the country.-R

The general of the army has taken
action upon certain charges that were
brought against Major Charles M. Ter
rell, pay department U. S. army. These
charges are understood to have been
made by the paymaster general, and
grew out of the fact that Paymaster
Terrell took his daughter with him on
a trip from San Antonio to New Or
leans, and return, to obtain funds, and
afterwards made out a voucher for her
expenses in the name of his clerk. The
view taken at the paymaster generals
office was, that this was a false voucher
which rendered him liable to a court
martial. Major Terrell, who is in the
city, filed at the war department a long
reply, in which he showed that there
was no criminal intent in his action,
and that the government was in no way
defrauded, or attempted to be defraud-
ed. Gen. Sherman thereupon refused
the application for a court-martial. He
takes the view that where an officers
character is so good and so well estab.
lished as that of Major Terrell, that he
ought not to be put upon trial for a
merely technical violation of the law

the appointment to fill the vacancy in
the quartermaster's department. First

ry; First Lieut.. John L. Glen, oath in.
fantry; and First Lieut.. Constantine
Chase, Sd artillery, are all understood
to have a chance of obtaining the place

the retirement of non commissioned
officers Of the army should have beer
suffered to die by the house committee
on military affairs.
