Hazen Reprimanded.

The court ma rtial proceedings in the case
of Gen. VIM. B. Hazen were made public
yesterday. The sentence is reprmand,
which is made by the President, as follows:
"The proceedings, findings and sentence in
the case of Brigadier General VIM. B. Hazen,
chief signal officer, u S. A., are hereby APP
proved. In giving effect to the sentence Of
the court martial, it is to be observed that
the more exalted the rank held by an officer
of the army the greater is the responsibility
resting upon him to afford, through his own
subordiuation to his superior officers, an ex'
ample to others who may be of inferior rank
in the service. To an officer Of fine sensihi.
lities the mere fact of being brought to trial
before a court martial must be in itself q
modification and punishment. In the fore
going case the accused, whose high rank
and long experience in the service, should
have inspired him with full realization of
that res pect for constituted authority which
is essential to military discipline, has been
adiudged guilty of induging in unwarrant
ed and cautious criticisms of his superior
officer, the Secretary of War; thereby set
ting pernicious example, subversive Of dis
cipIire and the interests OF the service. Sub
ordination is necessarily the primal duty of
q soldier, whatever his grade may be. In
losing sight of this principle, the accused
has brought upon himself the condemnation
OF his brother officers who examined the
charges against him, and seriously impaired
his own honorable record Of previous con-
duct, 1t is to be hoped that the lesson will
not be forgotten. General Hszen will be re-
lieved from arrest, and assume the duties of
bis Office"
Tbe charge on which General Hazen was
tried was Conduct prejudicial to good order
aud military discipline. The court found
him guilty, and recommended that he be
censured in orders by the reviewing author

Gen. Fitz. Lee for Governor.

The Lynchburg NewS publishes the FOL
lowing:
Some Of the late comrades in-arms OF
General FilZ. Lee here have conceived the
idea of putting him on the track for Cover
nor. A few of them have therefore signed
the annexed paper, and desire Us to publish
it, They say that the list could have been
indt finitely added 70, but they did not con-
slider it important 10 string it out, and cum
her our columns. There are few, if any, sol
diers of the lost cause in Virginia, il they
have not deserted to the enemy. VINO would
not cheerfully follow the lead OF the gallant
Fitz. once more, not to war, but to the vic
tories Of peace. And there are hosts in the
army Ct younger voters who would gladly
rally beneath his standard. We believe he
would arouse more enthusiasm than any
man who could be nominated. The &eWS
holds itself ready to support any man whom
the democracy may place in the field, ard
will not champion the cause OF any one pre-
viotls to tho nomination. But there Is 10
man whom it would sustain with more pleas
ure than General Lee. We had thought
that Mr.. Barbour would be the most judi
coiis selection, but since il is said that be
positively declines, public sentiment must
concentrate on some other man. We have
but little doubt that General Filz. Lee
would ride in by sweeping majority. With
this explanation we give place to the fol-
lowing
We. the undersigned soldiers Of the late
war, approaching the Importance of a State
government controlled by honesty, iutel!i-
geuce and patriotism, do hereby declare
General Fitzhugh Lee Ia be our choice for
the next Governor Of Virginia. His peer,

him to US, who proudly followed his banner
ia the time that tried mems souls. Ia the
storm OF battle aud The clash Of arms, he was
the soldiers friend, aud barred his breast to
the storm OF death, and snatched victory
from many a threatened defeat. Peace
hath her victories no less renowned than

Eorfolk's Broken Bank.

AS was expected would be the case the
stock holders Of the bankrupt Exchange
National Bank of Norfolk have been called
upon by the Comptroller of tho Cur
,rency for the payment of assessment
to the full extent of their stock, indi-
viduslly held by them, under section 5l51
OF the Revised statute5-that is to say, each
owner OF 800 (par value of the stock is
called upon to pay 500 more. AS the cap
tai stock OF the bank was $500 900, this
would result in the receipt Of an additional
$500, 900 in cash to be applied to the pay
ment of depositors and other debts of the
bank, if all the stockholders were solvent.
Unfortunately, however, good deal of the
stock was held by the Messrs. Balm aud by
Mr.. Whitehead, whose Individual estates
are involved, and who have already made
assignments for the benefit of their creditors.
There may be other but smaller stockhold-
ers who are unable to meet the call of 100
per cent. in full, if at all. 1t is feared that
the assessment will yield considerably less
than $500, 900; and, anyhow, the call bears
hard upon number of the small holders
who had invested in what they thought was
q safe and sure dividend paying stock, only
to lose the entire amount of their invest
mept and to be called on for as much again.
DR.. Mcdonald, the California millionaire,
who is the largest s'ockholder by far, is,
however, believed to be able to meet the as
sessment without feeling it to any extent
