ARMORY.

SIONS AND WARRANTS.

SIoNS AND WARRANTS,
Colonel Edward F. Gaylor did not appear at the
Attn Regiment arlnory Wednesday, as he had prom
ised and LeutenantColOnel Eddy Is still In actual
command although Colonel Gsyor by reporting to the
Brgadier-Geueral at the expiration of his leave of
absence placed himself nomnally at the head Of
affairs Colonel Gaylor, after long talk with one OF
his officers early last week Promised TO meet him again
on Wednesday and 90 with him to the armory. But
Wednesday came, aud with it no Colonel. The reason
for his absence does not appear.
The misunderstanding that have been rife about
what likely 10 happen when Colonel Gaylor again
went TO the armory have been ludcrous one Umor
had it that there to be and that meeting OF
the officers 10 be held. before which the Colonel
would be arraigned. Another predicted that love
feast would be the result, and all would be forgiven
and forgotten but rumor seemed 10 spread Itself
that il was likely that nothing at all would be done.
aud IL is the unexpected that always happens, tat
is lust what must happen when Colonel Gaylor and
bis officers meet again for the first time II is hard 10
see how anything else could be. IL is fair 10 assume
that the officers Of the 47th Regiment are gentlemen
as well as disciplined soldiers. They met, and after
considering the condition Of affairs, laid the subject
before General Mcleer, who promised 10 take such
action as seemed proper. General Mcl.eer has not
made public what his action will be- but he says he
certainly will do something when the right time comes,
as his LOYALTY TO the regiment is greater than his friend
ship for any one Having left the affair to the
can do nothing but wait until he reports aud that is
inst what they say they will do. II Colonel Gaylor
goes TO the armory, he will be treated a gentle
man, and will be obeyed as the colonel OF the 47th
REGIMENT and no need trim his sails in antcipa-
tion of any trouble in the men who do not think
Colonel Gayor has done his duty meet him at the
He is still colonel and Will be treated accord
ingly.
Some of his old friends among the officers, II is true,
have talked with him plainly about their views. and
in return lie has talked with them about his troubles
He feels greved and dsleartened. Fnancia reverses
coming upon him at the same time as his military
troubles have been confounded by him, and he at
tributes the latter to the former. They have tried
TO show him that this is not true, and to make him
see that it is for efficient and respected colonel
hat they care, and not for wealthy man. How iar
they NAV persuade him to view the affair in tho same
light IT is as yet impossible TO tell. some OF them
hope 10 see IN his changed actions solution of the
difficulty. otherwise, there seems TO be no peaceful
course open to the colonel but 70 resign.
