Adjutant- General Drums Report.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-Adjutant- Gen.
eral Drum, in his annual report to Ma
jor-General Schofield, calls attention to
the evil of desertion, which he says re-
suits principally from dissatisfaction
with army life and its restraints, restless
ness with recklessness of obligations as
sumed, and desire to secure transport
alton to distant and supposed favorable
points in the West. Desertion, he says,
can never be eradicated. but may be
greatly lessened by the adoption of
remedial treasures, such as the reduc-
ton of the term of service from five to
three years, and the right to purchase
discharge.
During the past year there were "a, 710
applicants for enlistment S,017 of whom
were rejected.
The Adjutant General says that not
withstauding every effort has been made,
so far as the recruiting appropriations
would warrant, to secure the necessary
recruits to fill up the army it is still more
than eighteen hundred below the au-
thorized strength Of $4,000 enlisted men,
and many of the regiments are greatly
reduced.

WASHINGTON NEWS,

Items from the Annual Report of Gen ner al
ochoheld-Recommend Looking to
the Increasing of the hiciency of the
serviee-The Desertions for the Past
Year.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 20-Maior. Gen eral
Schoheld, in his annual report, says.
The past year has been one of peace
among the Indians. formerly somewhat
troublesome in the Division Of the Pacific,
and In the Division Of the Missouri.
with the single exception Of the sup
pressfon OF disorder among the Crow In
dlans, the use of troops has been limited
to the prevention of possible trouble
among Indian tribes
The system Of practice OF the artillery
with heavy sea-coast guns has been
steadily developed. and is now adapted
Tor the entire sea-coast of the country.
de believes the troops will be fully pre-
pared to handle effectively the weapons Of
modern construction and OF the largest
callber as soon as such weapons can be
made ready to be placed in their hands
a moderate increase in the numerical
strength OF the force to handle the new
guns is indispens able.
Referring to Notifications, the General
says, the time and circumstances seem
peculiarly favorable to placing the sea
coast and frontiers of the country in
state Of security becoming the dignity of
great and proud, though just and peace
ful nation.
Reference is made to the impairment
OF the efficiency of the army through ab-
sence Of officers from their regiments or
corps. He thinks that the service would
be greatly benefited if such officers as
are disabled could be retired and their
places filled by young and active men.
Ii the retired list be temporarily in
creased, in a few years most Of the great
number Of veterans who were disabled in
the late war will have passed away. and
the list which now seems large will have
become greatly reduced in numbers.
The reduction in paw Of officers on
leave is, he thinks, no longer necessary,
and results in relative favoritism to the
port besides their pay.
There were 2436 deseriions from the
army during the past year, and the
average desertions for each Of the last
five years were 1913 per cent. of the
entire enlisted strength, or 51.5 per
cent during the whole period. Gen
eraI Schofeld recommends that the re-
ward for the arrest Of deserters be in
creased to 500, to be taken out Of his re-
tanned pay, and that it be made practical
BILE in time OF peace for an enlisted man
to dissolve his contract of enlistment in
manner honorable to himself and just
to the Government by obtaining a dis
charge with forfeiture of so much Of his
retained pay as may be necessary to re-
imhrrse the United States for expenses.

The moropolistic newspapers that
are constantly reminding their readers
that the republicans are not permitted,
as a rule, to vote in the south, will not,
of course. denounce the southern ont
RACES" an account of which is given in
the following dispatch from Raleigh,
North Corolina, under date of Decem-
Der 8:
Several negroes were before the
United States circuit here yesterday on
charges of intimidstine men of their
own race who wanted to vote the
democratic ticket. Joseph Lsssiller
was d scharged az he did not commit
the offense until after the man he ap-
preached had voted Major Herudon
was convicted of having intimidated
Reuben Gregory, and of having threat
ened to kill him. It is especially
worthy of note that while the republi-
cans have made many accusations, both
before and after election, as to the in
timidation of republican voters by
democrats, the only cases of iutimida-
tion which have come before the courts
have been those from Oxford in which
republican negroes threatened persons
of their race who voted the democratic
ticket. 1t is notorious that in soue
places negroes who dared so to vote
were practically prescribed by both
men and women of their race.
The republicans will not censure the
perpetrators of these outrages but they
set up howl when they imagine their
own OK Is gored. In fact 1t seems thai
from a monopolis'ic point of view there
are times when an outrage isn't on
outrage, even down south.-Pdtriot.

FRIDAY, DECEMBER IA, 1888.

An interesting trial occupied the at
tention OF the court on Monday and
Tuesday. 1t was the case OF w. f.
Bo line agsinst G ,lumbia County, in
which the plaintiff Brought suit TO re-
cover pay sor work done ON the court
room year ago. He had written
contract to paint the court room for
800, but the commits ,ioners made
many changes and alteration, in the
contract causing much additional work,
and then refused TO pay for this extra
work. Bodiue brought suit soon aft, r
the present boari Of commi ssiouers
came into Office, AMI the case was tried
before arbitrators, resulting in an
award Of 1925 for the plaintiff, and
there il should have ended; but the
commissioners appealed, and the case
was tried in court, the jury rendering a
verdict of 1855 for the plaintiff. The
entire cost to the county Of this case,
directly and indirectly will reach nearly
six hundred dollars when it uld have
been settled for two hundred dollars.
Such economy az this on the part of
the commissioners is not profitable for
taxpayers.
