Swaim has submitted to the Secretary of War an opinion upon the ques- tion “whether or not the charge of conduct un- becoming an officer and a gentleman under the 61st article of war 5 proper to be brought against officers of the army who neglect to pay just debts incurred by them, and by their manner of life and current expenditure fail to exercise such proper economy as might enable them in time to save from their salaries amounts suflictent to satisty their creditors in whole or in part.” Gen. Swaim says that in po case should an officer be brought to trial in a matter of indebtedness unless the same Was incurred through cheating, talse pretenses, &c., in which case, by some statute of the United States, or of the state, territory or district where the indebtedness was contracted, or by the com- mon law, the same would subject the officer to criminal Ifabitlty. In closing his opinion Gen. Swaim says: “I conclude, then, that a failure to satisfy an indebtedness, fairly con- tracted, would not be a violation of the 61st article of war, although the officer may be prodigal of his means, and tothe Joular in- quiry which you make—which fs presumed to be the case of a debt fairly contracted—I would an- siwer in the negative.’ PERSONAL.—Representative Jorgen8on, of Vir- ginia, is at the Riggs.—Senator Davis and fam- ily, of West Virginia, are expected to return to thé Arington next weeks tor the winter.—Gen, ‘Thos.
