sued three patents to the New Orleans Pacific
Railroad Company, for 679,2S7 acres of land

The Hazen Court-Martial.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-The general court
martial convened for the trial of General Hazen,
Chief Signal Officer of the army, met in this city
this morning, General Hancock presiding.
Counsel for General Hazen challenged Brigadier
general MacFeely as member of the court, on
the ground of unfriendly relations between them,
growing out of his (Hazens) criticisms of the
subsistence department of the army, of which
General MacFeeiy is the head, when he lHazen)
was endeavoring to abolish the system OF post
traderships in the army. The court sustained
the challenge and the accused waived the right
to further challenge.
General Hazen WAS then arraigned and,
through his counsel, demnrred TO the specifica
tions of the charge alleging that he criticised
and impagned the prepriety of the action of the
Secretary of War in refusing to send a sealing
ssteamer to thereef of the Greedy party after the
flure of the Proteus expedition in the fall of
. SS3s The court overruled the demarrer, and
ne accused pleaded mot guilty" to the
enarge and its several specifications. He de-
Ired, however, to make certain admissions con
corning actions charged against him. and pend
ing the preparation of these admissions. the
court adjourned until tomorrow.
