the adoption Of the suffrage

stitution, and the benefits
that haveresulted therefrom.
and We pledge the Democrat
lc party to faithfully main

means; and We demand that
the Republican party shall
declare it's purpose to either
accept or reject 1t, and until
it ia accepted as a fiDality by
all parties we declare it 10 be
the duty OF the white people
to stand together for all's
protection.
The Democratic Party, rep
resenting the intelligence, the
virtue and the manhood OF
the people OF the State, re-
calls with pleasure the entire
absence OF scandals during
it's administration Of public

FORT WASHINGTON TRIALS.
Sentences in Recent General Courts
Martial

Private Edward Mccormack, 44th Com
pany, Coast Artillery, having been tried
by general court-cartial convened at Fort
Washington, Md, and found guilty Of vio-
lation Of the 62d article of war, was SEN
fenced to forfeit one months pay. The
sentence was approved
Private Hugh o. Shelter, 44th Company,
Coast Artillery, having been tried by a
general court-martial convened at Fort
Washington, Nd, and found guilty Of SELL
ing clothing and conduct to the prejudice
of good order and military discipline, was
sentenced to be dishonorably discharged tho
service of the United States, forfeiting all
pay and allowances due him and to be
confined al hard labor for six months. In
his review Of the case General Macarthur
says: The specification to the second
charge alleges that the prisoner had hid
den in his locker and appropriated to his
own use one pair of tan leather shoes
which he knew were the property of some
other enlisted man. The court, In sem
fencing the prisoner, appears to have re-
garded this offense as one of larceny. The
evidence as recorded does not show that
the property found in the possession of the
prisoner was stolen, does it justify the
finding of the court upon the second charge
and its specification, and this finding Is
therefore disa pproved. So much of the sem
tence as allows Of confinement at hard la
Dor for three months and forfeiture OF $40
per month for the same period is approved,
and will be duly executed at the station of
his company.
