GEN. GIBBONS REPORT.
Some Recommendations a. to Court
Martials-The Cnntesns Work Well.


The Secretary Of War has received the an
nual report Of Brig. Gen. Jno. Gibbon, COM
handing the department Of the Columbia. His
first remarks are upon the subject Of the In
dams of the extreme northwest, whom he re-
ports to be in a perfectly peaceful condition.
He thinks that they will remsin so indefinitely
unless goadsd to desperation by the constant
Entertainments of the whites and their acts of
injustice"
couRT-NlRTIAL PRoCIHDISos.
As to courts-martial he says: Supposed
irregularities in court-martisi proceedings have
recently given rise to a good deal of comment
throughout the country, and proposition has
even been made to take from department COM
nanders the power to order general courts and
rest it only in division commanders. / an of
the opinion that this would be a great mis-
take-would not be in furtherance Of the ad-
ministration Of justice, and would simply add
one more to the disadvantages Of the present
division organization"
IMPROVEMENTS RECOMMENDED.
He recommends. however, certain improve
ments in the administration Of military justice,
as follows: To authorize the Secretary, by law,
to establish schedule Of punishments for GER
tain we'll fined offsnses to hich courts should
conform In their sentences; by requiring .
strict compliance with the law in converting
general courts; by establishing military court
OF appeal, whose duties should be similar to cor
responding civil courts.
THE TROOPS IN GOOD CONDITION.
Gen. Gibbon reports the troops in his de-
partmsnt to be in good condition as regards
discipline and drill. and remarks that in his
opinion the various measures taken to decrease
the number of deser tons in the army will re-
suit benefcislly.
mo step" he adds, "will produce better re-
suits than the plan to get better material by
enlisting the recruits in the rural districts
rather than in the crowded cities"
THE CANTEEN WORKS WILL.
he says that all reports from the canteens es-
tablished in his department. continue to be
very favorable aud satisfactory in every re-
spect In his estimation the system is not only
better than that OF the leadership, but the
enlisted men are beginning to realize
how much better and more probably they can
supply themselves than be supplied py Others
All Of the posts. he reports, are regularly and
satisfactorily supplied with the exception of
Fort Candy, which is SO isolated from the
regular routes of travel a. to be difficult
Of access. He recommends that the War
Department charter a seaworthy vessel for the
transportation Of stores across the mouth of
the Columbia river and Bakers bay, as was
done until recently, when the contract for that
service was dsapproved. Since the stoppage
OF the steamer the garrison 1T the fort has been
cut Of from even the ordinary table supplies.

large number Of pennies boarded up during
her slavery came to Detroit. She showed
many marks Of abuse, even her tongue being
stripped and swollen Friday night while out
