ARMY CORPS BADGES.
Brief Account Of tho origin OF These
Distinctive Marks.
TTntar Ocaap1

The origin and history Of the various corps
badges, which were worn by the soldiers Of
the Union army during the war Of the rebell-
ion, is an interesting sub! ect to all who have
served i'll the army during that period of tho
nations history, and cannot fail to DO mat
tiers Of interest even to those who have had
no part IN that gigantic struggle.
From all that can be learned upon this sub
ject it appears that Gen. Phil Kearney was
the first to suggest and adopt corps badge,
or distinctive mark for his command.
1t is stated, on authority Of Brevst Maj.
Gen. Z. ID. Townsend, late adjutant general
OF the United States army, that upon ono
occasion Gen. Kearney noticed some officers
standing by the roadside, and imagining that
they were stragglers from his command, ad-
ministered to them singing rebuke. After
listening to the generals forcible language for
time, ono Of the officers politely saluted the
general and informed him that they did
not belong to his command. The general
somewhat abashed, asked the pardon OF the
men before him, and added: Il will take
measures to know how to recognize my
own men hereafter" Soon dftsrward
he ordered all his officers and men to wear
conspicuously in front Of their caps "a round
piece Of red cloth" This badge soon became
known as "Kearney's PATCH" and to many
brave soldier that circular piece of red
cloth was as AZ dear as the cross Of the Legion
OF Honor to the dashing and ambitious vet
Grams of France.
When Gen. kearney was killed Gen. Bur-
ney directed every officer, in addition to the
crepe on his left arm, ITO continue to wear on
his cap piece Of scarlet cloth, or to have the
top or crown piece Of his cap made of scarlet
cloth"
The battle Of Fredericksburg demonstrated
the necessity OF wearing some distinctive
marks for the soldiers, and soon after Gen.
Burnside retired from the command Of the
Army OF the Potomac Gen. Hooker, who
succeeded him, issued a circular, dated
March 81, 1853, prescribing the device for
badge for each corps. This was done "for
the purpose OF ready recognition Of corps and
divisions OF the army to prevent injustice by
reports OF stragglsrs and misconduct
through mistakes as to their organization"
Gen. Hooker's army then consisted OF the
First, Second, Third, Fifth, Sixth, Eleventh,
and Twelfth corps. The badges were
chosen with no especial idea of significance.
and were to DO worn upon the cap by every
soldier and officer attached to the COM
mand.
The corps consisted of four divisions, and
1t was ordered that the color of the badge of
the first division should bs rcd: second di.
vision, white; third division, blue; fourth
division, green. This arrangement OF colors
has been observed In all cases except TINT of
the Fifteenth corps, the fourth division of
which wears yellow badge instead Of the
prescribed green.

Indicted for Polygsny

SALT LAKE, Oct. Sin the case Of Claw
son, indicted for polygamy In the District
Court, Judge Zane to-day rendered decis
ion that the grand jury which indicted him
had been legally formed, the jury being EN-
paneled by Zsne's predecessor. The defense
took the ground that all Mormsns drawn as
jurors being excluded on their belief 10 po-
lygsmy, while no such questions were put to
non-Mormons, the whole jury was illegal;
also that under the Edmunds law the exclu
sion on belief extended only to cases before
petit and not grand Juries. This Is the uni
verssl opinion of Mormons. Exceptions are
taken to Zane's ruling.

with four steamers arrive at Shendy. Find.
ing the place deserted, Gordon nailed to q

for members of the Legislature, is about
100000. The Legislature Is Overwhelmingly
Democratic In both branches. The United

awe love Cleveland most on account OF
the enemies he has made."-Gen. Bragg at
the Chicago Contention.
Kelley emphaticaily repeats his assertion
that Tanmsny "will heartily support the
Democratic candidates."
Now Is Bragg's speech was a direct shot
at Tsmmany because Kelly's cohorts opposed
Cleveland, and he loved Cleveland because
the Tammany people hated him, the logic
would be that Bragg will love Cleveland
less because Tammany avowedly ceases 10
be bis enemy. If SO, Is the Independent
elated that al the sacrifice Of Bragg's love IL
has gained Tsmmany? II not twas Bragg's

Thursday Of last week at Glendive, Judge
Joseph Miller died from the effects Of an
overdose of morphine, taken accidentally.
The deceased was we'll known on the Pacific
slope, having been a California pioneer in
40, practitioner at Yrska, County Judge in
Siskiysu county In 1858. In 1862 he removed
to Idaho, thence 10 Salt Lake, In 1876 going
to tho Black Hills. About two years age he
moved to the Eastern part of Montana, set
thing in Miles City.
About two months ago Mr.. Luke Hamilton,
who was then at Spokane Falls, purchased a
ticket from that place to Butte for himself
and wife. Owing to some misunderstanding
Mr.. Hamilton was elected ut point five
miles below Garrison. Before his wife
stepped of the platform the train started, by
reason of which Mrs. Hamilton was seriously
injured At this term Of court Mr.. Hamilton
instituted an action for damages for such
ejectment and injuries sustained, which is
now on trial.
Michael Goldsticker, formerly well
known citizen of this place, committed SUI
eide at Salt Lake City last Monday by taking
an overdose of chlsroform. He had lately
suffered revsrses in business, and the recur-
renee OF the Jewish feast OF "Atonemsnt
Day." 1t is thought, aroused in him some
compunctions Of conscience for fsrsaking
the faith Of his race (he was an Israelits, and
had recently been baptized into the Mormon
church), and these, together with the indig- !
mites which were placed upon him by his
former CO religionists on the latter account,
are the supposed causes Of his suicide. The
deed was committed In the Salt Lake ceme- |
terry. over the grave Of his first wife.-Aadi-
soniaa, Oct. 4.
