Kennard, and in whose ease the jury failed to agree. Mr. McC. thought the case was one {n which the de- fendant might be allowed to go at large on his own recognizance, and stated that pre- vious to indictment the prisoner was allowed to be out on h& own recognizance. The jury had consid the matter and stood eleven to one for bis acquittal, and ten of the fury bad aiready signed a petition, and one more Would do so as soon as the petition was pre- sented to him asking the court to release kim on his own recognizance, and he would ask that it be done. The Court asked the District Attorney if be did not consider the case a bailable one? Mr. Wells answered in the affirmative, and remarked that the amount of bai} must be fixed by the court, and not by the jury. Judge MacArtbur said the jury merely Suggested to the court a course. He could Rot regard the case as one in which the party sbould be allowed to go free on his own recognizance. It 1s true that ten or eleven of the jury were in favor of acquittal, but the court could not overlook the iact that Fraw- ner bas taken the life of @ man, and the sng- gestion that he go free is one upon which the court was not disposed to act. Mr. Met nel! asked that the amount of bail be fixed, and suggested that Frawner’s friends could raise bail to the amount of 82,660. 4 Th t said that he could not fix the bail at less than $5,000. The case then weut ov Tre Fort Foote Homicrpr.—{n the ‘pited States cireuit court in Baltimore yes- terday the case of J. L.

The Baltimore Goaetie says: Rogers is a private in Company B, 26 United States ariiliery regiment, and appeared in court yesterday in uniform. Kendrick formerly wasa private in the same company, but since the homicide has bech discharged from service, and yesterday wore citizens’ dress. Moor at the time of his death was a storekeeper, or watehman of the engineer's storeat or near the fort. The par- ticulars of tle altercation, so far as could be learned, are as follows: On the 2ist of June, While a steamer called the Arrow was pas;- ing down the Potomac river, a cow on board j got icose and jumped into the water and | ®wam ashore in the vicinity of Fort Foote. Kendrick and Moor gave chase to and 3uc- ceeded in capturing her. They returned the cow to Captain Hollingshead, whom they saw the next day, with the view of getting What they called saivace. While at the wharf they met Moor, who objected to their Teceiving any pay or reward for what they had core.

The chorus is well | trained, and the company as reconstrucied is considered the best Mrs. Oates has ever had here. Mr. Howson as “Bolero” was very good, and kept the audience ina continual roar of laughter. Mrs. Chapman in the char- acter of the strong minded mother-in-law would be difficult to excel.

The Virginians seemed unanimous in their dis- trust of the Aqueduct company. and frankly stated thai they expected no relief from that quarter. After much discussion, on mo- tion of Captain Lacey, the chair was author- ized to appoint a committee of ten to take into consideration the whole subject of pe- titioning Congress for a bridge at or above the Aqueduct.

Sunday tne cures of the Roman Catholle churehés in Montr‘ al annonneed the reception of a pas- tora! ietter relative to the interment of the remains of Joseph Guibord in consecrated ground. The pastoral says: “For we have truly declared in virtue of the divine power that we exercise in the name of the pastor of pastors, that the place where this rebellious Son of the church has been deposited is sepa- rate from the rest of the consecrated come- tery to be no longer more than @ profane place, an ordinary plece of ground,” See Fatal Powsk OF Daunkenress—A striking instance of the fatal power ofdrank- enness to accomplish the rain of a once re- oe family was seen at Deubizh, in Vales, the other day, when John Simon, the parish clerk, was found dead in his chair in the kitchen.

REPORT OF GENERAL SHERMAN. The annual report of General Skerman, after stating the geographical limits of the various commands, says: The aggregate strength of the line of the army according to the last reports received is 1.340 officers and 24.031 enlisted men. During the past winter the troops in the ents of Missouri and Texas were employed in an arduous and severe winter campaign Northern Nebraska, mostly to steat and horses farms Railway and north of it. General Crook of the opinion that the whole army, acting offensively, cannot prevent these incursions, and suggests that troops be stationed in the midst of the Indians to watch and prevent them le=vin, Cat mae reend of hunting. Gen- pov J 8 king the di to life and prop- erty by Indians is believed to be less durin; the past year than in any former year, an the prospect is that as the country'setties up it will be less and less each year, but until they acquire habits of industry in farming or in stock raising they will need food from the general government, brcause the game on which they have hitherto subsis: diminished very rapidly. QUARTERMASTER GENERAL'S REPORT. In his annual report justi submitted to the Secretary of War, the Quartermaster Gene- ral says: That no such embarrassment to the military service is caused by the law which compels officers of the Quartermas- ter's department to keep separa-e accoonts with each appropriation on account of whica they disburse money. Officers of the depart mentare unanimous in recommending a re- peal of the la Tarough the co; y Edward Thornton one hundred c snch as are worn by the British troops in hot countries have been procured, and are being tried in Arizona. Measures have becn taken to bave the (uartermaster’s depart- ment represented at the Centennial at Phila- de)phia next summer by a display of articles of supply. A detailed statement of expenses on account of transportation by railroads and otherwise is given, as well as expendi- tures and operations in connection with In- dian agencies, national cemeteries, military posts and sea-coast forts; for the latter the erection of buildings ontside the forts for use in time of peace is strongly recommended. The passage of a law providing for tne de- struction or removal to @ siorehouse of the accumulated mass of useless papers is again urged. REPORT OF GENERAL ORD ON MEXICAN RAIDERS. General Ord in command of the depart- ment of Texas, in his annual report gives a lengthy account of the border operations of the Mexican banditti. The repori closes with the following significant sugzesti it seems to me that the cireumsiances of the plunder of the stock ranches on the Rio Grande are almost identical with the pira- cies committed on our commerce at one time by the Algerines, who fled in safety to their own ports with thetr prizes. Tuere the of- fences were committed on the open sea, and here they are committed on the open plains. Some more effectual means must be adopted than sending troops or sailors to look on while our people are being despolied and murdered, for it is very evident that the sail- ors and soldiers, however willing, can do nothing if confined to this side of the river, and an order to make reprisals, with the means to carry out the order, has sometimes resulted In indemnity as weil as security. REPORT OF HAREOR DEFENSES. Tue report of the chief of army engingers shows that the work now in progress upou our seacoast defences consists exclusively in the construction of powerful earth baroette batterles for guns of the heaviest calibre. These earthern barbette batteries, with mas- sive parapets, traverses on either side of each gun, and stroug parados, where needled, will furnish with @ depressing gun carriage the greatest protection for the armament and cannoneers that can be attained outside ef iron casé mate constructions. Among the aecesscries for the defense of our harbors are torpedoes, or sea mines, planted across the channels and in such numbers as to bar the entrance of the cnemy’s vessels, AUd Roll them under the fire of the batteries. REPORT OF COMMISSARY GENERAL, The annua! report of Coramissary Geaeral of Subsistence MeFeely shows the amount appropriated for subsistence of the army for cattle the fiscal year ending June 30, 175, was ‘$2,659,000, and the amount on hand on June 0 WHS SOIT He recommends thet he amount to be appropriated for tof the army for the fiscal year ending June 39, 15/7, be made available prior to the Ist of June next for the purciase of Supplies required for adyance shipments to Gistant po CENSUS OF THE INDIANS.

He says, as the Indians are superstitious] y op- posed to being counted, the taking of their census abounds with many greatdiiiculties; therefore the strengti above given is mbstly official estimate. REPORT OF THE CHTEF OF ORDNANCE. i chief of ordna ort to the Seerc It shows that the ¢ the year amounted to $4,254.578.08.

The Detroit Arsenal having beea recently turned over to the Interior depart ment for sale, as required by law, and the Columbus Arsenal haying been transferre t to the general recruiting service for depot purposes, the board strongly recommends th retention of allthe remaining arsenals east of the Mississippi as essential for the neces- sities and proper service of the Ordnance de- partment, unless Congress shall by lezisia- live enactment permit the execution of the plan of concentration proposed by the board on arsenals in 1874. That plan’ consists ia the establishment of a grand arsenal of coa- struction to the vicinity of New York city, retaining the Springfield armory and the Frankford arsenal as adjoncts, for manufac- luring purposes; retaining, also, the In- dianapolis arsenal, Indiana; ‘Kennebec arse- nal, Maine; Fort Mouroe arsenal, Virginia, and Augrsta arseval, Georgia. as places for Storage and repair; aud selling the Ali gheny, Watervliet, Watertown and Was’ ington arsenals ar rapilly as cireumstane: will permit, the proceeds of such sales to b devoted to the purchase of a site and the erection of worshops, storehouses, ete., for the grand arsenal.
