Why Not Use the Gable 2

The Navy Department offers no satisfac-
tory explanation Of the conduct OF Rear Adj
miral NICHOLSON at Alexandria. What he
did may have been right and may have been
wrong. What the people want to know Is
whether 1t was right or wrong. The mere
fact that an American naval force Is landed
In hostile manner on foreign soil is so I'm
usual as to call for full and immediate eX-
PLANTATION. When the representatives OF
the press seek Information on the subject
from the Secretary of the Navy they are
told that he has none to give.
Thus somebody In the Navy Department
was reported yesterday as saying that if the
Admiral intcrfered in the war further than
to protect American interests, 1t was entire
ly upon his own responsibility. The general
press despatch In which this state
ment appeared did not show whether the au-
thor OF the sage remark was porter in the
Navy Department or the Secretary himself.
1t did go on to say, however, that Mr.. CHAN
DLER WAS not prepared to declare that Ad
miral NICHOLSON had exceeded his authority
in the absence of official advices from him.
This is precisely the ground OF complaint.
The Secretary of the Navy confesses that he
is not prepared to approve or condemn the
most important act done by an American
naval commander since the civil war ended
an act which, il 1t proves to have been i'm
proper, may involve the United States in
serious international troubles He is not
prepared to judge. He must first know all
about the attending circumstances.
Is not the telegraph open from New York
to Alexandria =? Why not use the cable in q
matter OF this importance When Mr.. WILL
LIAM E. CHANDLER was the most active
spirit in the combination to count RUTHER-
FORD b. HAYES into the Presidency he knew
how to employ the wires He was not in the
habit of waiting very long to find out about
the attending circumstances then. He heard
Of everything that was going on as soon as 1t
happened and acted promptly on the in
formation he received. Otherwise the Great
Fraud could never have been accomplished.
Mr. CHANDLER would do well now to exer-
else in behalf OF the public some OF the talent
he then employed to the detriment Of honest
government and Of the American people.

Gen. Swain on Mason,s Case.

Tho report submitted to Secretary LIN
COLIN by Judge Acknowledgement SWAIN, on
the demand OF Sergeant MAsoN's counsel for
the release OF his client, is curious speci-
men OF reasoning. While this report is not
yet fully made public, its general conclusions
are announced, and they are reiteration Of
those Of the report of March 20.
It will be remembered that Gen. SWAIN
agreed with Mr.. BIGELow that the conviction
and sentence of MASON should be set aside /;
but the grounds OF his opinion were such
that it had no effect. Had he declared
squarely that tho court martial was an erro-
neous tribunal in this case, or that MASON
was entitled to trial by jury, he would have
found himself in accord with Mr.. BIGELow,
and his opinion, If supported by adequate
authority, would have had great weight. But
he distinctly held and still holds, that MASON
was guilty Of an offence cognzable by court
martial in time Of peace, and should have
been convicted and punished by such a court
under proper specification.
What Gen. SWAIN has all along insisted on
Is that the charge OF assault with intent to
kill could not be properly brought against
MASON His reason for advising the setting
hside OF tho findings OF the court was that
the proofs and specifications did not corre-
spond. This point he supports by the fol-
lowing singular argument:
There was evidence tending to show that GuIrEAu
was in the habit Of standing at the window through
which the ball passed Upon this OCCASION however,
he reclining on his cot at the time the shot
nred, and he informed the warden Of the jail and
officer OF the battery; also that lie did not know who
nred the shot wheheIA citizen soldier not having
seen the shot fred, GuiIEAu being in reclining post
hon on his cot, the evidence shows that asubstanta
brick wall neTy oHrd between him and the line Of hre
lie therefore in absolute security from any effort
MASON might have made to shoot him at the time"
In this assumption Gen. SWAIN simply
sets his opinion in regard to the facts OF the
case against the united opinions Of the Court
And the matter involved, also, is one in re.
gard to which they are much better author.
lty than he namely, the capabilities OF
weapons. Persons have been struck and
killed with shots DETECTED, by Intervening OBJ
Btaces, from the direct line OF fire. Many
successful experiments have been made In
shooting with such detected shots. Who
can say that this may not have been in MA
BoN's mind, even II 1t be admitted that he
knew that GuIrEAU may have been out Of
bis line Of 6rel When Gen. SWAIN declares

Killing Children According to Law,

In June there was an extensive outbreak of
measles in tho Territory OF Alaska. The dis
case first appeared among the American and
Russian inhabitants Of Sitka, and then
spread to the Indians, to whose children 1t
proved fatal in large proportion OF cases.
Tho mortality among the Russian popula-
ton was also great.
A letter from Sitka to the San Francisco
Bulletin says that scarcely child in the
town escaped the epidemic. lowing to the
stringency Of the laws In regard to the i'm
portation OF liquor into the Territory" says
the writer, there was not drop to be had
in Sitka, even for medicinal purposes and
the lack Of it no doubt increased the NOR
tallty"
The fatality from measles Is always great
or, we believe, in savage or rude communi-
ties than in those which are fully civilized;
and tho need Of alcoholic stimulants in that
dangerous period after recovery appears to
have set in must be even more imperative In
Alaska than 1t Is with us. Here we should
regard any law which deprived our children
Of medicine that might be necessary to save
their lives as outrageous and not TO be en-
dured. Such law In Alaska seems to US just
as Objectionable in principle
At the time OF tho acquisition of Russian
America by the United States it was fore
seen that the unrestricted introduction OF
liquor into the country would vastly increase
the difficulties OF administration, and by the
Alaska act, as it Is called, Congress empow-
cred the President "to restrict and regulate
or to prohibit the importation and use Of fire.

An Extraordinary Application.

An extraordinary application has been
made to the Supreme Court in the Second
Judicial Department, In behalf OF Mr..
MICHAEL j. DADDY, an unhappy Republican,
who was dropped from the rolls of the Cen
eral Committee OF his party in Kings County
because he had not paid his dues within the
time fixed by the bylaws OF that organiza-
ton. Mr.. DADY now wants to be reinstated
as member of the General Committee,
through the agency Of writ of mandamus,
and his motion was argued in Brooklyn on
Friday before Mr.. Justice CULLEN.
While the question is under consideration
by the Court We do not care to discuss 1t in
its legal aspect The practical results Of as
sorting any such jurisdiction as is here in
voked, however, may properly be noticed.
II the Supreme Court of the State OF New
York can interfere so as to regulate men,
bership Of a county committee Of one OF the
great political parties, why has it not like
authority to declare who shall and who shall
not be admitted as delegates to a State Con-
vention? Might 1t not even go further, and
pass upon the credentials offered at a
national Convention which happened to be
held within the territorial limits OF this
State? We can see no reason why the
judicial power should be exercised in one
case and not in the others. No rights Of
property are involved. The privilege of as
sociating with other politicians is the whole
subject matter Of contention. If the courts
undertake to protect that privilege in one
Instance will they not enter into maze of
perplcxty and politics out Of which the way
is hard to find
We believe Mr.. DADY's application Is
merely the continuation of Il controversy
between the Stalwart and Half Breed factions
of the Republican party in Brooklyn, which
has been raging with more or less intensity
in the General Committee for many months.
The quarrel has now grown so bitter that
the contestants have carried it before n

TIE MORMON BATTALION.
Editors Herald:

HeSeeoTS AeTGeU: 81
I presume that, with the Congress
sional and Legislative proceedings
and other matters of general inter
est, your columns are pretty well
taxed, and therefore 1 feel some
delicacy in asking space in them for
purpose which you will perceive is
merely an act Of simple justice to
the memories of the late members of
the Mormon Battalion, NEST of
whom, 1 believe, are numbered
with the dead.
at the present dag it has become
quite common with a certain class
of men connected with a certain
class of men connected with the
press, to assume the character and
play the role of wit.
Inasmuch as q few persons have
achieved success lin this line, a
class of imitators, without natural
gifts adapted to the role, and with
as little knowledge as true wit, try
to build for themselves regulations
as humorists, but invariably. th4y
fail. probably for the reason that 1T
is as impossible to convert fool
into a wit, rs would be the fruitlesS
effort to make silk purse out of a
Sow's ear"
One Of the latest attempts (and
failures) of this kind appeared in
the Salt Lake Tribune of the 18th
inst, which woHld be unworthy OF
comment. but for the evidence of
malicious ignorance running
through the article to which l refer,
and which l enclose and ask you to
print.
If the writer Of that article did
not know his statements to be false,
he was ignorant of the history Of
his country. If he knew them to be
false, was it not malice which
caused him to make them? He
cannot defend himself by the plea
that what he published was merely
a joke, for no,one has right even
to joke (or lie) at the expense of the
reputation of another.
In connection with the extract
above referred to, enclose herewith
q copy of Order No. l, issued by
Lieut.. Colonel p. ST. George Cook,
then of the United States Army.
This order speaks for itself, and was
but a just tribute of praise to the
men of the Mormon Battalion, and
its publication will, l hope, teach
the smart Alec" of the Tribune to
be more careful in his future at
tempts at wit.
If you will print both articles, l
think your readers will be satisfied
that you have devoted the necessary
space to correct falsehood so out
rageouS and malicious as that re-
ferred to, and you will confer favor
upon Yours, &c,
