THE WHITAKER COURT MARTIAL.

CASE.

WASHINGTON Jan 4.-Intercst IN the Whitaker
case has been revived in Washington by the puhp-
cation in TO. DAYS TRIBUNE and many inquiries have
boep made with a view to ascertainlng whether OF
ot il contained correct version of the sentence ol
tho conrt martial and of the points made ov the
1,dca Acknowledgement in his review OF the pro-
coedinos findings and sentence. Nobody can oe
found who will deny the correctness OF HE Iklb
,,>,r's statement The Secretary of War who ho'us

20 indicate what the papers contained, and there
ar, reasons 10 believe that the whole matter IN
cludiuq the review by General SWAIN VIII he re-
ferred TO the Acknowledgement for his opinion re-
spccting the law p ints involved.
So far as General Swaim's opinion regarding the
mower of the President to constitute cour martial
under the circumstance il is well known by thOse
who have been long familiar with his views that he
does not think the President possesses such power
B1i the Judge Advocate General goes much fuIher
and bases his recommendation that the findings ana
sentence in the Whitaker case be disapproved ON
The broad ground that they are not sustained by the
evidence in the case, admitting the testimony
Of experts in handwriting and allowing 1t full
weight 1t Is also understood that the Judge
Advocate General discussed at length the
oueson of motive set forth in one OF the speclh
cations in the charges brought against Whitaker
that he mutlaed his person TO create sympathy IN
his own behalf when he feared he would be found
deficient in his studies-and points out that the con-
illusions of the court itself show hat no such mo-
tive could ever have existed II is also stated mat
General SWAIN in his review of the case mas dCait
plainly and fcarlesslv with the which led 10
ostracism of Whitaker at the Military Academy,
and he has not refrained from criticism OF that part
of General Schofeld's report which was sharply
criticised by a large portion of the American people
and press when it was first published TWO years ago
The statement that one OF Whttaker's classmates

there is the very best authority Tor saying that the

THE COUNTY DEMOCRACY STIRRING UP STRIFE
TALK OF ELECTEG THE ASSEMBLY COMMITTEES
THE TAMMANY MEN TO BE PUNISHED
IBY TELBGRAPH To THE TRIBUNE!
ALBANY Jan. 4.-There is general agreement
tonight among the members of the Legislature
that a recess shall be taken from tomorrow till
Tuesday next. Already of the Democratic
members have started for their homes. in company
with the Democratic statesmen who came with
them TO guide their first childish steps in legisa
ton There left here by the 4:45 p. IN. train for
Ncw-Y0rk the leaders of the County Democracy, in
Guiding Hubert o. Thompson, the Commissioner of
Public Works and Police Justice Power. These
men did more 10 bring about the Democratic dead
lock than any other politicians that have been
here. They saw upon arriving the city that they
were not ia such favor with the country Democrats
as they were before the fall election. The
defeat of the County Democracy then
by Tammany led the country Democrats
TO think of an alliance with the latter.
Alarmed at this threat tened alliance, Thompson and
Power with other County Democrats did all they
could to prevent Tammany's requests being granted
by the country Democrats Tammany was charged
with attempting to dictate the organization
of the Legislature. This scheme TO
arouse the jealousy of the country Democrats
has succeeded, and the Democrats throughout the
State are holding Tammanv responsible for the
deadlock In the opinion of the leaders of the
County Democracy this will secure the rejection of
Tammany delegates at the next Democratic state
Convention, although at no time during the recent
talks of John Kelly and Daniel Manning, the chair
man of the Democratic State Committee, the
subiect of Tammanys admission to the Convention
broached Messrs. Thompson and Power left for
home in high glee over the success of their plot to
bring about u quarrel between the country Demo-
Gratis and Tammany.
While Tammany is as defiant as ever tonight, the
Democratic members outside of that organization
are strangely confident that they will succeed in
organizing the Legislature next week. The latest
scheme TO accomplish this purpose is for the regular
Democrats and the Republicans to unite upon joint

IHE DEFENCE CONPELLED TO CLOSE.
THE COURT DECLINING TO RECEIVE MEREL,

NEss-LAw POINTS OF THE PROSECUTION.
In the Guiteau case yesterday Mr.. Scoville
for the defence, filed an affidavit asking to b,
permitted to call nine other witnesses, ant
stating what he expected to prove by theb
testimony. The Court decided against the ap
plication in general, permitting, however, the
defence to attempt to show that, on the day
of shooting President Garfield, the assas
sin had claimed to be inspired of God
J. j. Brooks, Chief of the Secret Service divi
sion of the Treasury Department, was called
for this purpose, but he swore that Guitea,
had not made such a claim to him. A lettel
written by the assassn's father in 1875, II
which he pronounced his son fit subject foi

then declared closed. The law points of the
Government were submitted 10 the Court an6
an adjournment was had to Saturday to enable
the defence to prepare its law points.

Change Of Time.

The opening of the new road between
Madison and Milwaukee Wednesday,
February l, necessitated new time
card on the narrow guage, which took
effect on the same date. BY this new
arrangement the passenger train be-
tween this city and Galena leaves the
latter place at 6, a. IN. arriving at Lam
caster at 1915; and returning, leaves
this city at $50, p. IN. arriving at Gal
ena at 1870 p. m, connecting there
with Illinois Central trains to Chicago
Passengers wishing to go east from
Montfort will be obliged of take the
freight which leaves here at $50 a. m.
and connects with the passenger going
east at Montfort. Returning they ar
rive at Montfort at p. m. and have to
remain over night before they can get
train for Lancaster. The Woodman
passenger leaves that place at a. m.
and arrives in this city at $50 1t
leaves here, on the return trip, at $40
reaching Woodman at 615 where par
ties wishing to go east can connect with
the passenger on the NJ. &. St. P. at
$50.
A glance at the change will show, to
even the most casual observer, that the
interests of this section lrave been but
little consulted in the making out of the
new time card. Had the powers that
be been endeavoring to concoct an in
strument which would, in the shortest
space of time, destroy their passenger
traffic they could hardly have hit it bet
ter.
A point that is slightly amusing to a
man in the corner of the fence is the
reason why the passenger train going
south is not allowed to stop at Platte
vile which il is not, forcing anyone
wishing to reach that point from this
city, by rail, to take the m orning freight
and be half day on the road.
Should the present time schedule hold
for any season stage stock will rapidly
appreciate in value, as by return to
that old fashioned mode of locomoton
persons from this section can reach
eastern points much more expeditiously
than by trusting to the easy going
movements of the narrow guage. The
ouly glimmer of reasonable connec-
ton is that at Woodman and this doubt
less viii be extensively patronized.
