MILITARY TRIBUNALS.
How General and Garrison Courts Marti
Are Conducted.

How General and Garrison Courts Martiai
Are Conducted.
The Articles of War" provide for
the trial by courts-martial of all per-
sons under the control of the military
authorities of the country who may Dc
accused of offenses committed against
the regulations and laws enacted for
the government of the armies OF the
United States. Unlike the practice In
civil life, the combined powers OF both
Judge and jury are vested in the officers
composing a court-martial, they dellD-
Grating upon the evidence of the Wit
nesses, determining as to the guilt or
innocence of the defendants. and pass
ing sentence upon culprits. An officer
is appointed as Judge-Advocate, whose
duties are to conduct the prosecution
as we'll as to act as counsel for the &C
cused when the latter has no legal ad-
wiser of his own. and to object to any
questions that might lead to an answer
on the part of the defendant tending TO
criminate himself.
So-called general courts-martlal are
convened for. the shearing and Judg-
ment of important cases and for the
trial of commissioned officers, and may
be appointed by any general officer
commanding a separate army or de-
partment Such a court consists or
thirteen members, unless the exigen-
cies of the service prevent the assem-
bling of that number of officers; but in
no case may a general court have less
than five members.
Garrison and regimental courts-mar-
tial, having three members, are ap-
pointed by the commanding officer OF
any post or regiment, and are con-
vened for the trial of minor offenses on
the part of any of the enlisted men
forming the command. AS the law
now stands, even the slightest infringe
ment of the rules of discipline calls for
action by court-martial, and such
petty breaches of good conduct. as alb
sence from roll-call or from quarters
after ''taps," slovenly or untidy dress,
quarrelsome Or abusive language to
comrades or non-commissioned officers,
ETC., the penalty for which is usually
the imposition of a slight fine to be
stopped from the soldiers pay, are
treated with all the form and cere-
mony of trials for grave offenses. The
sworn testimony of the witnesses, ac-
cording to the rules of evidence, must
be reduced to writing. and a report
made of the proceedings in each case,
as the regulations prohibit the execu-
ton of any sentences by a court-mar-
tial until its action is confirmed by the
officer ordering the court When the
fact is taken into consideration that.
according to the report of Colonel
Lieber, Acting Experimentation
eral, there were 10.447 trials before
garrison courts during the past year in
an army the total peace footing of
which is limited by law to a force of
but 25, 900 men, it would seen. that a
system less cumbersome and less irk-
some to both officer and men might be
devised by which petty violations of
regulations could be punished sum-
marily without injustice to the SOL
Weekly.

This Seems to Settle 1t.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, March IA dis
covery was made yesterday which prac-
tically settles the right of the Legislature
to create offices and fill them by election.
In 1853 the office of Attouey-General was
created by the Legislature and filled by
election. The Governor denied the au-
thority of that body to take such action,
and the case was taken to the supreme
Court. Some one in looking over the
Eighth Indiana report yesterday found
the decision in that case. The court up
held the power of the Legislature to cre-
ate offices and select incumbents. The
case is identical with those of the officers
just elected by the Legislature, and prac-
tically settles the controversy.

LONDON, March 4.-While it is pre-
sumed In London that the visit-of Sir Ed
ward b. Malet, British Ambassador at
Berlin, to England, is due to family af-
fiction-at least so it has been given out
it is asserted in Berlin that he is the
medium OF "a secret communication from
Prince Bismarck to Lord Salisbury on the
subject of forming an alliance between
Germany and Great Britain. Color is
lent to the truth of this report by the fact
that Sir Edward held an extended confer
ence with Lord Salisbury yesterday after
noon. instead of devoting himself to FAM
ily matters, as he would do if the reasons
assigned here for his return were true.

FOR OUR YOUNG FOLKS.
JACK AND DICK.

Two boys who once grew up together.
Grew up IN the same old town,
But one is now q scapegrace, rather,
And one has gained renown.
Two boys who started out in living,
Each in a different way,
And differently took the worlds free giving,
And SO they are different to-day.
Jack, he had widowed mother
And Dick was rich mans boy;
Jack had always his wishes to smother.
While Dick had every joy.
Jack earned his own bread and butter,
And part Of his mothers, too;
And often the wish was heard to utter,
That he had more work to do.
Jack got out at the elbows oftel
Grew too fast for his clothes;
Had but little his lot to soften,
But his cheeks were red as rose.
Dick wore clothes of the finest order,
Nothing he seemed to lack;
Always father, a careful warder,
To keep all hardness back.
One studied hard to go through college,
No hinderance the other knew;
One found thorny the way to knowledge,
The other was pushed right through.
Ones muscles grew fabby, and cheek grew
faded,
One grew stout and strong,
AS bravelY and proudly and all unaided,
He wrestled his way along.
Now, to-day in the halls of the nation
Is heard Jack pow erful voice;
And Jack in his proud and lofty station,
Does something but make a noise.
For he labors well among his peers
None ever ask if he
Had enough to eat in the long-gone years.
If his pants were out at the knee.
Dick and oh! how hate to tell it,
He is a poor weak thing.
He'd a heritage but he had to sell it,
Just living to bring.
Only cumberer, not one needed,
In all the worlds great strife.
man who is scarcely ever needed
That's what he's done with life.
Works little, drinks strong liquor,
His children cry for bread;
And he's travelling down, and daily quicker,
Down to drunkards bed;
Life pampered one and strengthened the other.
1T is good to bear the yoke
Honorable Jack tells every brother;
Word truer he never spoke.
Hard are the blows which shape to beauty
The marble cold and white,
And rough is the poor boys path of duty,
II it leads to a golden height.
So all you Jacks keep ON your trying,
Trying and trying again
Rich and poor with each other vying,
AS often the poor Will win.
-Pansy.
