FROM WASHINGTON.

The Smith Court Martial Ended--
Attempt to Have an Army Order
Modified - Transporting Gold
Across the Continent
WASHINGTON, Ang. 1.-THE Smith
court martial has completed its work
and to-day the court was temporarily
adjourned. The findings will be sent
to the president for his approval or
disapproval. An unwritten law in
court martial cases prevents the mem
ners of the court from revealing the
fldings until the presidents action. .
A strong effort is being made to
have the secretary of war make an ex-
ception in the cast of Col. Davis, OF
Gen. Sheridan's staff, in enforcing his
order sending officers who have been
doing detached duty for more than
four years back to their regiments
Col. Davis has been on detached SER
vice nearly eight years, a portion OF
which time he assisted in the superin-
tendency of the construction of the
Washington monument.

The following naval board has been
appointed, to meet at the Delaware
Iron works, Chester, Pa, to make an

the three cruisers, Chicago, Atlanta

An appropriation of 100000 was
made at the last session of congress
for the transportation of about S4O,-
100000 in gold coin from the sub
treasury at San Francisco to the sub
treasury at New York. Owing to the
high rates asked by the express COM
pany the secretary of the treasury
decided to transport the coin by regis.
tered mail. So far about $l0,
100000 dollars have been trans
ported in this way. The money
was mailed in one hundred Thousand
dollar packages. In view, however, Of
the publicity which has been given tt
the method Of transportation, it has
been deemed best to suspend further
shipments of the precious metal fol

A TEXAS LAWYER

Demonstrates to the Court the
Value of Petitions, Promiscuously
Signed.
GALVESTON, Aug. lin a suit at
Longview, Hon. John w. Duncan,
one Of the attorneys in the case,
vehemently argued that no value or
reliance could be placed upon
petitions p%romiscuously signed by
citizens. The opposing counsel re.
futed Duncan's argument scath.
ingly and charactized it as
absurd and idiotic. The court and the
jury were also against Duncan. They
believed that petitions in any cause, If
signed by good men, were entitled to
consideration. Chagrined and defeat
ed, but not convinced that he was
wrong, Duncan quietly went to work
TO prove that the petitions were Of no
value. His ingenious zeal was reward
ed yesterday, when. in open court, he
read a solemn petition prayingthat the
court would hang their fellow-towns-
man, Luke Howard, who is one Of the
most respectable and enterprising citi-
zens Of the place. Duncan displayed
the names Of all the county officers and
Fifty business men signed to this ludic-
rous petition. Among the signers
were the brother.in-law and father-in-
law Of Howard. Every signature was
proven genuine, and it was conceded
last night that lawyer Duncan is just
a little the smartest man in Longview.

McCulloch, the parties engaged being
all colored. A few nights since Robert
McCulloch, an industrious colored
man, retired for the night, feeling UNI
well. He was a sound sleeper Gas he
stated to your correspondent and
never dreamt that his friend, one Paul
johnson, also colored, whom he had
sheltered, fed and protected would
have ingratiated himself into the good
graces of his (Robert's) wife and
played the part of a gay Lothario.
But alas, he beheld, on awakening
the following morning, that
the woman whom he considered his
devoted spouse had fled with Paul
johnson, her husbands friend, taking
with them all the furniture in the
house, valued at $45, which they re-
moved to the river and transferred to
Mississippi by skiffs.
The pair left behind them, as sou.
venirs, five children Of different ages
whom the unfortunate husband and
father covered on awakening the fol
lowing morning.
McCulloch and his wife had beer
married for fourteen years, bat il
seems she could not resist the smiles
of Paul johnson.

A Denial and an Explanation from
Ex-Secretary Teller.

CHICAGO, Aug. ll-Ex-Secretary
Teller, in an interview here to-day, de-
MED that leases to cattlemen, as first
granted by the Cheyennes and Arapa-
hoe tribes, in 1888, had ever been
sanctioned or recognized by him as
secretary of the interior. He says that
ne specially stated at the time, and in
corporated the statement in his reports
of 1983,84, that the government re.
served the right to interfere with cat
tlemen and remove them whenever il
became necessary, either of its own
motion or from the complaints of the
Indians. In this connection he an
nounced to the cattlemen that If such
occupation proved agreeable to the In
dians, the government would not in
terfere with their possessions. Sena-
tor Teller is of the opinion that much
good had bean done the Indians by
meeting the cattlemen. The former
were taught how to herd cattle and in
other ways were made familiar with
actual business.

THE

Beck's long winded card furnishes
no sort Of reason why he should be a
stumbling block in the way of those
who wish to reform Warren county af-
fairs. On the contrary he dismisses
the gravest charges, with a careless
grandiloquence that only equals his
brazen determination to force himself
on the people.
His reference to Mr.. Wright's cour-
age is based on a falsehood. He says
MI. Wright showed the white feather
on several occasions, and mentions the
Shaughnessy affair. Those who know
about the settlement of that affair,
know that shaughness fully apologlzed
on the island for an insult offered on
this side Of the river. If Capt. W. II
Spears were living, Beck would jump
into the river, before he would say to
him, that he (Spears) settled that
affair dishonorably to his friend, MT
Wright. But it is a waste Of thine to
discuss Beck's point blank refusal
either to challenge or put himself In a
