Six distinct charges were made by Briga-
der General Mitchell against Col. Lynch
The first was that Col. Lynch did not carry
out the orders of the brigade commander
relative to the digging of sink. Inc Sec
ond was that he absented himself from his
command without permission. Inc third
was that he failed to have his command re-
port as ordered by the brigade commander.
The fourth was that he disobeyed the orders
of the brigade commander in not placing his
command as ordered at dress parade The
fifth was that he was unfit for duty by rea-
son of the. use of intoxicating liquors. The
sixth was that he did not promptly return
the reports OF the companies of his regiment
The court of inquiry absolutely aequit Col
Lynch OF all these charges except the fourth
and sixth. AS regards the latter, the court
says In effect that his culpability consisted
In not bringing the officers of the companies
OF his regiment whose dutyit was to make
out and forward the company reports, up to
their work. That is to say, he was too in

how five of the charges against Col, Lynch
might have been made, in the full belief that
they were true, notwithstanding the evil

cult to understand how the fifth charge-that
of drinking intoxicating liquor to such excess
as to make him unfit for duty, which is by
far the most serious charge in the list, and
the one, too, In which the proof most slgnally
failed-orignated unless it was born Of
somebody's malice, Certainly it was little
less than outrageous to make such a charge
"a charge affecting his character as citi-
zen-without very strong evidence to sup

as little better than a sot, and then wien

Mitchell makes himself responsible for the
charge. we very much doubt If the response
bility really rests upon him. We are inclined to
think that the worst thing he can be charged
with in this connection Is listening too readi

The campaign Of 1884 was fought by the
Democrats with the war cry: Turn the
rascals out" The late Thomas Hendricks
electrified the West with the stories of the
huge sums the Republicans had stolen. But
when the Treasury was turned over to the
Democrats there was shortage of only two
cents in the accounts of nearly % years. At
ter four years the Democrats deliver back
the sum In the treasury with a shortage of
$2S. This shows that under both parties
the money of the country was conscientious

the Democrats in ability to perform the
