LOUISVILLE, March 'l6.-Of the
defeat of Pnil Thompson and the ap-
ooin:ment of Miller for coxnmissiOner
of Internal revenue, Mr.. Watterson
C0urier-J0urtN: -. -
We are not prepared to accept the
defeat of Phil Thompson as q declar-
alton of war by the President upon
the friends of revenue reform, nor
the appointment of Miller, of West
Virginia, as an evidence that 1t is the
purpose of the administration to set
itself against the internal revenue
taxes, which pay more than one.
third the expenses of the govern
ment, and without which there
could be no adequate reduction of
custom house duties. Personally and
locally we very much regret the de-
cision, but we trust that the appre-
hension CT those who have q right to
a fair Interpretation and execution
of the internal revenue laws, and
have regarded the West Virginian as
hostile t. them and their interests,
will be disappointed. The question
Is hu CCOuUlUlC Ou0s AEU We 6u61l Ue
slow to believe that it will be treated
by the President and his advisers in
a narrow spirit.
II will BE- given out, of course, that
this is a triumph of Mr.. Randall
over Mr.. Carlisle, that, however,
will depend altogether upon future
developments. If the President
does, it will involve a hopeless split
of the party and q new array of
political forces. We Want no such
conflict and shall do all in our power
to avoid it. But if against the pro.
test of an overwhelming majority OF
Democrats it should como to pass,
the advocates of tound and honest
revenue system will not be found un.4
equal to it. In affairs of this sort 1t
j. best TO have no conceaiments.
Dangers are often avoided by g0i0g
out to meet them. The Preside mt
IN ght have evAded an issue by the
familiar expedient of the appoint
nlent of a third party (neutra,) or he
may consider-ahd he may be right
in considering that there is no issue
at all. To our mind and imperfect
know ledge we are inclined to think
tn ere is, and that it Is not encourage
ing to the fr.ends of real revenue
reforms; but we shall await with |
The course of events. II

WASHINGTON, March 18.-In the
executive session OF the senate the
injunction Of secrecy was removed
from the f0llo wing resolution, intro

qua, Costa Rica, and San Salvador,
with the protested object of consol-
dating into one government the Re-
publics Of Central America by force
Of arms, and against the wishes of
the several Republics concerned,
and

WASHlNQTONs W March 17.-Geoeral
6a1on testified In hie own behalf be-
fore the Court Martial to-day. He
admitted writing the articles IN con-
trovefsy but said he intended no dis
resnect or dtscourtesy 10 the Secretary
OF War. He gave as his reason for
making the Statements that he had
beeu held TO D most serious responsi.
6ility for not effectively rrbcuing the
Greedy party, that IL had been pub
lished all over the world that he was
in lault and th&tin his own defence
he simply wished 'eo STATE q fact that
Greely c0uld have been rescued and
that he { Hszen) did Ill il his power
to have Hmm rescued. The Secretary
of War In his annual report had
largely confirmed tho opinion ex-
pressed in the press thst ne (Hazen)
was responsible for the death of these
men. The report elther made him
wilfully culpebie or neglectfui and
ineffecl6nt In his work. Neither was
true. He wrote the letters simply to
! relieve himself Of that biemish UPON
his record which the Secre.
tary's report wrongly placed there
In the afgumenL upon an1otjec-
tion, Judge Maekey, counsel for Cen,
Hagen, said: I'VE know that the
prosecution does not want to touch
Cape Sabine. The eccuser does not
want the fact Of these horrors. We
propose to show the enemies of the
accuser that he was imbued with
malice deep and. deadly against the
Chief Signal Officer of the Army
He became blind upon any question
touching Arctic matters, Suggesting
q deep, tlreiess hate; that, Indeed his
very body exhaled malice whenever
the Chief Signal ofacer's name was
Judge Mackey then called the At
tenti0n of witness to the fact that his
letter to the Secretary dated Febru-
ary 17lh last, was endorsed by the
Secretary as having been received at
the War Department February 26th
and also TO the fact that the state
ment concerning the contents Of this
letter published in the Chicago Irt-
bvpe February 25th and asked where
the letter was kept prior to February
18th.
General Hazen replied he kept it
in his desk. Judge Mackey asked
whether within . recent period off,
cial letters had not teen purlOlned
from desks in the Signal Office and
taken to the Secretary of War.
The Judee-Advocate objected to
this.
Judge Mackey said the purpose of
the defense is to negative the pre-
that the accused circulated
the contents of his letter. He said he
proposed to show that the letters had
been purlOined from the desks in the
signal Office and taken to the Secre-
tary of War by the person purloining
them, and that the person received
special employment after pur-
Joining the letters. He said they
wanted to show the general course Of |
the administration with reference to |
the chief signal officer that nothing
was safe or sacred In the office of the |
chief signal officer from the hand of |
this Secretary Of War by day OF.
night. ---,>-
The Judge Advocate said he did
not feel called upon to reply to the
insinuAti0ns Of the counsel in respect
TO the Secretary Of War. That OH.
cial, he said, needed no defense at
his hand., and the attacks upon him
were In very bad taste, to say tho
least. Without concluding the ex-
animation Of Gen. Hasen, the court
adjourned. /
