ATLANTIC CrrY, June 1s.-Mstor-Gen.
II. L. Scott, who was commander in

same offence as will be given by civil
Judge in Arizona
The General declared that trial OF
military offenders by civil courts would
remove the means of maintaining disci-

Certainly the enlisted man has not
clamored for a change. It is an unheard
Of thing to see q court martial moved BY

fence. In fact they are more apt thar
civil courts to give the defence a wide
latitude.
1T has been objected that too largt

ton is due to the care with which
charges are sifted by investigation. II
which all that are not susceptible u
