WASHINGTON, D. O., Jan. pa very
interesting question is now agitatinl
army and legal circles in connection with
the recent proceedings in the case o.
General Swain.
The rather startling proposition hat
been advanced by some Of those versed
in military law that the effect Of the ac
tion Of tho President, in ordering Gen
eral Swain before retiring board
was TO pardon him, and that, Conse.
uuenLly, llo Is now again dc jurc the
Judge Advocate General OF the Army.

therefore an officer suffering sentence O
suspension from rank CanIi0t 10 brought

rank he cannot bO retired, for, II retired
il must be on some rank. II Is claimed

Of course, did not 30 intend Il, hiS &C

much earncstness and force by high at
thority, and II Is said the chance which

10 Ills notice. II Is not anticipated that
anything more will como out Of the
matter than learned and entertaining
discussions on the points involved.

Co.'s weekly review Of trade says
The state Of trade is unusually per

Of dullness there are evidences that tht

niable that the prevailing temper is one

ness since the new year began, and this
Is not wholly explained by the steadily
declining prices Of products,
At Southern points, after some de-
preston, trade appears to be improving,
In the northwest, trade Is fully equal to
that OF last year, and at some points
clearly larger. The supply OF money

ing OF commercial credits. In the great
iron industry, consumption for all otlier
than railroad purposes appear TO be
larger than ever, but there Is serious
disturbance in consequence, The Iron
Ays reports a general weakening, which
there Is no use blinking ut, and holds
that furnaces which cannot face without
serious loss q decline Of fully 81 from
present prices may wisely suspend pro-
duCtion. At western points, Southern
iron Is offered at prices equivalent to
$l2 at Birmingham, which Is considered
equal to $l7 for Pennsylvania iron, and
large sales are reported at prices below
published quotations.
A decline in the price OF coke Is con-
sidered probable, and the anthracite coal
market continues weak, The decline in
wheat continues, the price having fallen
q cents for the week. As the prices
reached this week O3l to 03Ec, there has
been some buying for export, though
not as yet for Great Britain. Corn has
fallen a cent, and oats arc lower, Pork
products have also declined, mess about
30 cents per barrel; lard zoe, and hay
l0C per 100 pounds. There is little
activity in groceries, but thesurgar mar
ket favors holders.
The supply Of money here increases
both by remittanCGs from the interior
and by excess OF Treasury disbursements
over receipts, which reached Sl,70O,0OO
for the week.
The business failures number 349,
against total OF 3s7 last week, and Ssl

MRS. RAwSON'S TRIAL


Peculiar Letters Received by Her sympa.
thizcrs-lhc Defense Continued.
CHICAGO, Jan, 25.-Tho defense was
continued to-day in the trial Of Mrs.
NIeckclea Rawson, for tho shooting Of
Lawyer Whitney. DR.. Walter Hay, OF
Hyde Park, was called as an expert in
insanity, and occupied the chair up to
the time Of the recess for lunch, in lis
tening to and answering very long hy-
pothGtical questions, intended to prove
that Mrs, Rawson was insane at the time
OF the shooting, The general trend OF
the doctors evidence was favorable to
the theory that the woman was in
sane when she committed tho deed.
When the Rawson case was resumed
this morning letter was passed around
among the ladies OF the Women's Pro-
tectiv0 Agency, who have sat In the
court room beside the defendant every
day since the trial began. The letter
was received this morning by one OF the
ladies who Is Mrs. Rawson's particular
friend. 1t was anonymously written In
mans handwriting. The writer threat
ened to destroy the reputation Of the
Indy on account Of her friendship for
Mrs, Rawson. 1t appears that ali the
ladies who have interested themselves
In the case have received similar letters.
The handwriting in each Is different
and all was masculine. Some OF them
would render the writers liable 10 the
penitentiary for sending obscene matter

railroad, died last night at his residence
in this city, aged seventy.nine years,
He was elected President Of the Phiia'

is given Of enabling President Lincoln
to pass through Baltimore on his way
TO his Inauguration unreCognized. Il
was due to his foresight and zeal also
that the route to Washington by way o.
Annapolis was opened when Baltimore
was closed by the riot Of April, 1851
The mental and physical strain endured
by him throughout the civil war proved
too much, aud in 1866 he suffered {
