THE CASE OF COL. STEWART.
 Whatever may be the deficiencies of Col William F. Stewart, the late commander of himself and a com panion at the military post of Fort Grant, there is a prevalent opinion throughout the country that he has been consistently denied a square deal. He may be 'temperamentally unfit" but the manner in which he has been dealt with smacks of per secution.
 His retirement to a useless Flor ida military post would have suffi- ciently eliminated a "temperamentally impossible" officer from active ser vice, without depriving him of the comforts of existence.
