the Hopkins DcreIictiOn.
The court of which Rear-Admiral Andrew
Bryson is president, to try Surgeon Owen,
U. S. N, reconvened yesterday morning at
the navy-yard. Surgeon Owen requested that
Capt. James A. Greer and Medical Inspector
Henry G, Nelson, who had been subpwnaCd
for the defense, be called to the stand. 1t was
explained to the court that these witnesses
were called as experts, to show the common
idea and practice (by officers of high rank IN
line and staff where the authority and duty
of medical officer began and ended. The
Judge advocate objected, and the court sustain
ing the objection, the witnesses were not
sworn. Surgeon Owen was then sworn in his
own behalf He detailed the condition of at-
fairs at Pensacola, the condition of Capt. Hon.
kins's health, and the circumstances Under
which he had advised him Co leave tho sta
ton; he had used no persuasion to induce
him to leave, nor had he used any persuasion
whatever, as alleged i'll the charges to induce
him to remain away; in fact after Capt. Hop
kins left, he (witness) did not even know
where he was, and never saw or heard of him
until his trial here. The condition of Capt.
hopkins was one of extreme nervous prostra-
ton, and witness only performed his official
duty in certifying that Capt Hopkins was un-
lit for duty. The testimony of the accused
and the cross-eNaminatiOn by Lieut., Vain
wright Judge advocated and questioning by
the court, occupied the entire session, and the
court adjourned until ? p. IN. to-day, to allow
Commodore Colhoun to appear this morning
at the navy department for examination for
promotion to rear admiral to fill the vacancy
caused by the retirement of Admiral Creigh-
ton and the death of Admiral Wyman. AT

Nothing in politics has given sucn univer-
sal satisfaction of late as the message of Presi-
dent Arthur. He shows that he not only
possesses the practical secret of rebuilding
his own party, but of combining the two OPP.
posing parties in the support of the same
measures. His message hits the nail on the
head in every instance, and while he really
obeys the voice of the people, he just rs truly
leads them. The President is evidently a
rare man, who knows how to hold the scales
evenly while he does his own weighing.
