to his home in st. Louis, and wait his re-

Major General Hancock was offered
command of the division of the Missouri,

was received at the war department to-
day.
The official order making the above
changes was promulgated at the war de-
partment this afternoon.
LIEUT.. RoBEBTsoN.
general order has been issued promul-
eating the action of the president on the
findings and sentence of the court martial
in the ccse of Lieut.. Robertson, of the
First cavalry. The sentence of the court
was that Lieut.. Robertson be suspended
from rank and command for six months,
and be confined to the limits of his post
for the same period, and be reprimanded
IN general orders. The proceedings alone
OF TIC oourt are approved by the president.
The 1aGings and sentence are disapproved
and Lieut.. Robertson is relieved from ar
rest Gnd ordered to resume his proper
duties. In the order pro1nul-
eating the above Secretary Lincoln
writes as follows: ssNo assent
can be given to the demoralizing idea
which seems to be one Of the theories of
the defense in this case that no serious Of
Tense is committed by an officer falsely
certifying to second pay voucher for the
same month, if it is given in security for q
loan and is not expected to be presented
for payment. An officer may not properly
give as security that which is no less than a
power of attorney to disgrace himself. The
president is not willing, by his approval of
this finding and sentence, to sanction the
view that the conduct of accused found by
the court to be culpable, should be consid.
cred mere neglect of duty, to be followed by
slight punishment. It is to be hoped Lieut..
Robertson will not again have occasion to
persuade court that the collection Of his
monthly pay is 80 trivial matter to him
that he does not remember a fortnight
before it becomes due, whether or not he
has already drawn it, and will be more
careful in future to avoid violation of the
sanctity of his official certificate trusted as
being made on the honor of an officer and
gentleman.
