pTeiudicial to good order aud military discl-
plinc inasmuch as he in his annual report crit
icized she delay of the Secretary of War iii not
sending an expedition 10 relieve Lieut.. GrCeiy
in Sept. 1853. knowing that the Secretary Of
War had decided that it was imPractlcable to
send such an expedition at that time. Also
that without the authority OF request OF the
Secretary of War; Gen. Hazcn wrote letter to
that fuuctionary impU2nlng his acts regarding
such expedition, and also that he had stated to
a reporter that he had written such letter,
knowing at the time such statement would be
published.
The room and the corridors leading thereto
have been crowded during the trial by persons
eager 10 get 3 glimpse Of the distinguished
soldiers who compose the court. The President
is Mai.-Gen. Winfield Scott Hancock while the
members are Mai.-Gen John N. Schofcid,

Gen Hazen was defended by Messrs. T. J.
Mackey and n. Damaut. He challenged but
one member of the. court-Gea. Maefeeley--on
the grouud that unfrepdly feeling existed be-
tween them. and that gentleman was excused
1t was but two days before the close of Pres
ideut Arthur's administration that Gen. Hazen
came out with his attack on the Senators, and
if be had wanted that length Of time, no action
whatever could have been taken in the matter.
There is every reason 70 suppose that Gen.
Hazen will be handled rather severely by the
court-martial, for it is in the consideration of
such offcnses as these. such IS too free speech
and the like, that officers incur the sevorest
sentences.

The main interest Of the week seems to have
conferred around the appointment OF a Commits
sinner of Iuterua! Revenue. Ex-Congressman
Phil Thompson. Of Kentucky, who. it will be
remembered. came into unpleasant uotoricty
while ago by the murder OF a man who. on the
evidence OF spiteful gossip, he believed TO be
crimiually intimate with his wife, was vigor-
ously pressed for the position. the chief Of his
supporters heing ex-Spcaker Carlisle aud the
entire Kentucky delegation. The entire
whisky interest Of the country also supported
bis candidacy. EX-Congress'nan Buckner. OF
No. was also formidable candidate, and ex-
Congressman Joseph S Miller, of W. Va. had
for his hackers Hon. Samuel j. Randall aud
others. The fight was made against Thompson
on the grould that no Kentucky Congressman
could be free from the influence of the whisky
manufacturers there, and such state of affairs
must be prejudicial to the proper running OF
the Department. This argument seems TO
have been effectual, for Mr.. Miller received the
appointment on Monday last.
