 Action.
 Montgomery, Ala, Sept. 26.-Gover- nor Cunningham to-day received the report of the military court of inquiry appointed to investigate the conduct of Co. F, Alabama National Guard, which was overpowered by the mob ar Huntsville, Ala, that lynehed Horace Naples, a negro.
 The report, which is signed by Col one1 T. S. Frazer, Captain P. D. Smith, Captain W. F. Walden, recommends that Co. F by mustered for ineflciency and that in the future all officers be re- quired to pass an examination on the state military law before receiving commissions. October 14 was fixed for the mastering out of the command. The court found that Captain R. L. Had had no definite plan of action; that most of the men had no load in their guns though plenty of ammuni- tion was to be had and that one senti- nel was overpowered and badly hurt by the mob.
 It was also found that members of the military company were cursed and assaulted by the mob after the jail was lset afre and that they lost their mill I itary dignity in the crowds
 It was further found that the attack | on the Jail found the military sitting around on the steps and curbstones 1 eating supper; also that there was then an entire lack of concerted effort or plains for the protection of the jail or prison. The report concludes: That the combined shortcomings of the mil itary allowed a life to be taken unlaw- fully by a mob under circumstances which justify us in concluding that the same could have been prevented, there
 by ref1ecting serious discredit upon the military called into service"
