Hicks, Forecast for September.

The first September storm period
runs from the Sd to the 18th, being
central on the 4th. An equinox of
Mercury is also central on the Sd, ex-
tending as far as the 10th with its
disturbing influence. About the 4th,
9Th and 9th look for some well devel
oped storms of rain and wind. Many
sections suffering with drouth and
heat will get relief at this time.
Cooler weather will follow about the
5th to 9th. From the 10th to 18th is
a reactionary period, in which storms
of much energy are liable. The au-
tumnal equinox will be in force at
this time, adding to other it's storm.
producing power. The same is espe-
cially true during the regular storm
period which covers the 18TH to 18th.
Very cool northward after storms.
The 21st to Gath is the center of
earth's equinox, with reactionary
storms due. The 9th to 3Uth is the
last September storm period. Look
out for wicked storms on sea and
land on ;and near the 2Sth and Goth,

The courthouse question still en-
cages the attention Of the people OF
Northampton, but happily for them,
they are not worrying themselves as
to whether the old courthouse shall
be repaired or not, or where the loca-
ton shall be. The site having been
fixed by the late election, and it hav-
ing since been decided that no at
tempt should be made to repair the
old one, the only thing left for them
to do, is to have new building
erected. This they will do, and as
soon as they can secure the money
necessary for that purpose Whether
they shall secure the means, as now
being discussed by them, either by
taxing the people or borrowing Il part
of the Glebe fund, is a matter of no
concern to US. But the fact that a
new courthouse is to be built in
Northampton suggests the thought,
whether Accomac, which needs q
new courthouse as much as our sister
county does, is to have one or not at
an early day, and if not why not.
The people want it; the old one is a
reflection upon the thrifty and intel
ligent people who inhabit our county,
and the money necessary to build it
being already in hand, as we are ad-
vised, there is no obstacle in the way
in that respect. 1t is a matter, we
respectfully suggest, demanding the
attention of our Board of Supervis-
ors, and we hope it will be their
pleasure at no distant day to see that
steps are taken in that direction.

The manner, in which the late war
was conducted, seems to have been
so regardless of the comfort and
safety of the troops, that an investi-
CATION is likely to be demanded by
Congress for the purpose of placing
the responsibility where it belongs.
There is no doubt that hundreds OF
the lives of the soldiers were need
lessly sacrificed by the mismanage-
ment of some one and the demand
seems too imperative to be disre-
garded. When Hon. John Sherman
can so far forget his duty to his party
as to want to impeach the chief of
one of the departments for gross neg
lect, as is indicated by the following.
that he does, it is very certain that
an investigation is needed. In an
interview recently published in the
Washington Times he is quoted as
saying:
The man who is responsible for the
Encouragement of the Cuban cam
paign, resulting in the needless loss
of scores of American soldiers lives,
and in the infliction of horrible tor
lures upon thousands of brave de-
tenders of their country's honor,
should not be in the Cabinet.
If the charges published in the
newspapers as coming from reliable
officers of the army are true, the
officials who are responsible should
be severely punished. I know of no
greater outrages than were perpetra-
ted upon our soldiers during the San
tiago campaign, assuming, of course,
that the printed charges have q
foundation of truth.
Right here, let me emphasize the
fact that | do not know whether
those charges are true or false. l am
speaking now on the assumption that
there may be foundation of truth
At any rate, there should be a rigid
investigation, and the responsibility
should be placed where it belongs.

GENERAL LEE IGNORED.

When the appointment of the COM
mission to arrange the terms of evac

those who made the appointment
thought Lee would at last be sent to
Cuba and meet Blanco. All his
friends have took it for granted such
was the intent when Lee was sent for
to come to Washington. Whatever
the motive in sending for him may
have been, if there was any, has not
been disclosed. When he called at
the White House the President mere
ly took his hand, uttered convention
al, mplimentary phrases, and end
ed the interview by telling him he
would appoint him soon to be a
second lieutenant in the army. This
was literally giving stone when
bread should have been offered, Pos.
sibly, it may never all come out, but
