GEN. SWAIM's TRIAL.
Objections Made by His Counsel to So

Objections Made by His Counsel to Sew
eral members of the Court Martial.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE court
martial for the trial of Judge Advocate
General Swain spent to-day's session in
hearing and acting upon Gen. Swaim's
objection to the Individual members of
the court. He objected to Paymaster
General Rochester sitting because the de-
fense wished to call him as a witness, and
because Gen, Rochester said that Gen.
Swain had favored the appointment of
Col. Mcclure as Paymaster General, and
opposed Gen. ROchester's appointment,
andshence Gen. Swain alleged that pref
udice existed in Gen. ROchester's mind.
The objection was sustained on the ground
of desiring to call him as a witness,
and Gen. Rochester was excused from
membership of the court. Gen. Swaim's
counsel then objected to Gen. SchOfield
sitting as a member, alleging that Gen.
Schofeld had several grounds for preju-
dice, among them that Gen. Swain was in
close relations with President Garfield
when the latter broke up Gen. SchOfield's
military command and placed him on
waiting orders, and that Gen. Swain as
Judge Advocate General had criticised
Gen. SchOfeld's conduct as member of
the E1tZ-J Onn GOrter court OF inquiry ana
the Cadet Whitaker cOurt-martial. Gen.
Schofeld, however, said that he did
not entertain prejudice against Gen.
Swain, and the objection was not sus-
tanned. Objection was next made to
Gen. Terry on the ground that Gen.
Terry had been member of the Fitz John
Porter court, and that Gen. Swain had
frequently, in reviewing Gen. Terry's re-
ports, disagreed with him. The court sus-
tanned the challenge as to Gen. Terry. and
the latter was excused from sitting as a
member of the court.
Gen. Murray was next challenged
for prejudice, because Gen. Swain had
opposed his appointment as Surgeon
General of the Army, and Gen. Murray
knew it. This objection was overruIed.
Gen. Swaim's counsel then asked Coils.
Andrews and Ayres if they entertained a
prejudice or had expressed opinions ad-
verse to the accused. A negative reply
was given, and as there was no more
challenges the court was organized with
eleven members. Gen. Swain then asked
that subp9nas be ISSUED for the Secre-
tary of War, Gen. Rochester and other
army officers, and the court adjourned
for the daV

he won with false promises and vows. Z"
Something in the cleaning eyes
struck terror to Viviane's soul. but she
spoke calmly:
"0f whom do you speak,"
"Of your Invertebrates Hamilton. 4"
"And he made love to your" Viviane
said, speaking mechanically, for she
could scarcely realize the truth.
Charles Hamilton had made love to
! this dark-faced girl while she, his be-
trothed wife, trusted him so perfectly.
"Yes; made love to me, and taught
me to worship him. But am going to
pay him back in way he little dreams
of.H
Charles had not been detained any
length of time by Mr.. Wentworth, and
at this moment he was making his way
up the cliff, for he had stopped at Mrs.
Kings only long enough to leave his
horse, when he heard that Viviane had
gone alone.
A terrible fear, which he could hard
ly account for, took possession of him.
All. Heavens! how soon was he to know
what the foreboding meant!
As Francoise spoke the last words
she drew nearer to Viviane. and pointed
to the water.
THAT would cool my BRAIN" she
said; ..but told him 1 could never
rest while he lived for you, and so you
and will die together"
A shrek rang from Viviane's lips, o
q shrek heard by her lover, who dashed
up the cliff, almost realizing the truth.
Another wild agonized shrek in his
ears, then turn in the cliff, and then
the two struggling forms on the top of
it.
Then FRANCHISE saw him, and wild
laugh rang from her lips, and then
oh, Godi the cliff was empty.
Like a madman Charles dashed
along, intending to leap off the cliff,
but suddenly his foot struck q rock.
and the next moment he had fallen
forward, ghastly wound in his FORE
head-a wound that took away his
senses for many day; but when con-
sciousness did come back, he only
wished he had died, for the story they
told him wrecked his life forever.
| Francoise and Viviane had been
washed ashore still clasped in each
others arms, and the people, not know
ing the truth, had buried them togeth-
er, to sleep till the last greatday, when
all will awake together.
They told him how the two beautiful
faces had lain together-the lily-fair
one of his darling, the olive dark face
of Francoise; the cloud of bright hair
of his love mingled with the raven
tresses of the Mexican maiden; and he
spoke no word. For what could he
sayp His heart was buried in the grave
of Viviane and in the grave of Fran
coise as well.
Another woman he never wooed, an
other woman he never won-grey-
haired and old before his time, he will
60 down to the grave faithful to her to
whom his faithlessness for little while
had brought the mystery of death-the
mystery of life as well, in the bright
ness of happy youth.

BISHOP HUNTINGTON.
why He Prefers Grover Cleveland to
James G. Rlaine.

(Northamton Letter to Springfield Republican,
Among the prominent men of the
country who spend their summers in
the delightful old county of Hamp-
shire, is Bishop Huntington, OF SYRIA
cuse, N. Y, who resides for the Sum
mer in an old fashioned farm house
somewhat modernized, in the quaint
and historical old town of Hadley.
Your reporter had very pleasant
chat the other day with this we'll
known theologian on the political as
pects of the day. While the Bishops
tastes and work do not lead him into
politics, yet he is keen observer of
what is going on in the political world,
and his deductions are made after ma.
ture reflection and careful investiga.
ton. AS to his own position the
Bishop said: 'I class myself with the
Independents, for l am in the habit
of voting according to the character
of the men placed in nomination.
In reply to query as to his opinion
of Mr.. Blaine he said: "Well, have
no desire to publish my opinions to
the world, nor do dare to hold them
back. l have never been in favor of
Blaine, whom | recognize as
traficker IN official influence,
and am very much panied
to see SO many of my New England
friends yielding up the high standard
of morals so requisite to the Presiden-
tial candidate in the past. Nothing
has been said in his miserable attempt
which can bring him into the society
of the pure statesmen of the past. 1t
would indeed be deplcrable if the
Young men of this nation should be
informed by this election that the peo-
pie of the United States condone the
offenses proved against James G..
Blaine. The moral effect would be
very depressing should they be told
by his election that they can lie, de-
fraud. become demagogues, bribe CIV
ers and takers and still not forfeit the
public confidence. 1t is a humiliating
spectacle to see SC many men like Hoar,
Dawes aud others twisting his dishon-
ored record in such a way as to become
deliberate attempt to make his con-
duct reputable. To me the action of
those who sneer at the attempt to purl-
fly the political atmosphere IS con-
temptible.'
AS the Bishop spends most of his
time in Central New York his opinion
of Cleveland has weight. In answer to
his views of Cleveland he remarked:
ellis public life has been trustworthy,
upright and manly. He is man OF
honor and there is much in his public
career to admire"

why Blaine Threatened Suicide.

At the beginning of June, 1876,
Mr.. James G. B.aine "went on his
knees to Mr.. James Mulligan at the
Riggs House, in the city of Washing
ton. and with prayers and tears and
threats of committing suicide, sought
to examine package containing fifteen
of his letters which was in Mulligan's S
possession. Mulligan yielded to the
pitiful and aoject entreaties. Blame
got the package, pledging his word of
honor (which he broke) to give it back.
Examining the contents, he found that
though they were very bad they were
not the worst he had expected. He
had written other letters which, to his
great relief, he did not find among
them. He was an aspirant for the
Presidential nomination of the Repub-
lican National Convention which was
to meet at Cincinnati on June IA, and
believing that copies of the contents of
the package existed, although he had
secured the originals, and that they
would become public before the Con-
vention, lie resolved on character
:sticallv audacious course-to publish
them himself as the lesser of two evils.
So on the 5th of June in the House OF
Representatives he rose and said:-
am not afraid to show the letters. Thank God
7 nt ahnr rnpdkO N
And then he read them to the
House, and at the end of the reading,
by an arrangement manlfestly precon.
certed with his friend Mr.. Eugene
Hale, of Maine, he had dia.
logue with that gentleman, in which
the House and the country were given
to understand that the fifteen COM
prised all of his letters that Mr.. Multi
gan held, controlled or knew of that
were disreputable-"every solitary
scrap and scrimption, as the children
say" was his expression. "The man
| (Mulligan) did his worst he said
sthe very worst he could, Gu, of the
most intimate business correspondence
of my life."
After eight years Mr.. Mulligan now
gives to the public fifteen more letters
of Mr.. Blaine "as duty to his fellow
countrymen." We print them in full

corruption and of the debasement to

cial to the New York Sun, has filed his
bond and taken the office. The generals
accounts are unsettled. He complains of
the extreme hardship of this It is a
hardship which in the ordinary course of
events will not soon be remedied. It is
not his fault. 1t is in the Treasury De-
partment. The reason is the worthless
ness of officials whose business it is to
handle the ex-narshal's accounts and set
tie them. He has urged and expostulated
for ever SO many months. He claims
that the government owes him consid-
cradle sum. An opposite idea is given
out. Not to settle the question is a great
piece of injustice either to the ex-mar-
shall and his sureties or the Taxpayers OF
the United States Meanwhile, govern
ment clerks systematically neglect this
and other business. They occupy THEN
time in loafing and doing almost every
thing else than what they are paid for.
Some are not qualified, even if disposed
to do their best.
Every one is independent-not TO say
detiant-of every one else. Il viii LET
you know, said a 81 800 clerk TO his SUI
perior, who ventured to complain of his
Iooseness and general inefficiency, that
any attempt on your part to draw the
strings on me viii end in the loss of your
own head. Do it, if you dare = No So
900 or $4,000 official dared.
Longstreet's case is among many.
Some are worse. There are cases where
business has been left undone for years,
because clerks did not chose to do it.
Only part of the time spent by them in
idleness, reading novels or papers, and in
various ways chosen 10 shirk their duty,
would suffice to clear up everything.
Officials whose duty it is to apply the
remedy, know these things, but dare not
act. In some cases they are completely
dominated by their interiors, and have
become parties to disgraceful negligence,
disregard of responsibility, and increas-
ing Generalization in the service. This
SKATE of things have long existed, and is
growing worse. Time only aggravates
the worst features of this Generalization
and accelerates its progress. The service
grows worse and worse where the re-
sponsibilities are the greatest.
