Rosgrtsoy.—The sentence of the court martial in the case of 2 Lieut. Rob- ertson was, as has been stated, suspension for a short time, not overa year. The court found Lt Robertson ‘not gutity of the offense charged, con- duct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman, but guilty of conduct prejudictal to good order and military discipline, under the sixty-second article of war. Judge Advocate General Swaim, in his Teview of the proceedings, takes the ground that the court was not justified, under the evidence, in bringing in a verdict: of guilty of violating ‘the sixty-second article of war, and recommends that the findings of the court be disapproved.

SHERMAN NOVEM- BER 1ST—RESULT OF THE CHANGE—A PROBABLE SHIFTING OF PLACES ALL ALONG THE LINE—TALK AMONG ARMY OFFICERS. Gen. Sherman has expressed the intention of turning the command of the army over to Gen. Sheridan on the first of November, and Gen Sherl- dan has expressed his intention of being In Wash- ington at that time to acceptit. That change ‘will be followed by a number of important ones down the line, and as the date mentioned draws near the subject of what they will be and what officers will be affected by them is bejng vew widely discussed in army circles. Gen. Miles and Gen. Augur are both absent from their commands on leave: the one, it is said, came on business in connection with a lawsult with which he ts inter- csted: andl the other to ascend he apnrosbning marriage of hisson. It ts generally understood, however, that all their time will not be occupied With these matters. When Gen, Sheridan assumes command they want something, and they will be on the ground to make a strong effort to get it, General Miles would _liko very much to succeed Gen. Hunt in command of the department of the south, but fears that Gen. McKenzie will be agsigned thete. Gen. Augur, It 4s thought, prefers to remain in Texas, and will try to prevent Gen. Terry from succeeding him there. ‘There ts considerable talk as to who will succeed Gen. Sheridan as commander of the de- partment of the Missouri, and it is goneralty ought that Gen, Schofield willbe the man. His friends have claimed for some time that hte is cer- tain of it. Of late Gen. Pope’s name is prominently mientioned, but the chances seem to be tn favor of the former. Gen. Pope will not care to be sent to San Francisco, and in case he is not selected to succeed Gen. Sheridan will make an effort to re- main at Fort Leavenworth, ee ‘The Cruise of the Yantic. COMMANDER WILDES’ SUGGESTIONS AS TO FUTURE EXPEDITIONS. ‘The Secretary of the Navy has recelved from Commander Frank Wildes, of the U..S. 8. Yantio, full report of the cruise of that vessel In asaist- ing the Greely relief expedition, under Lieut. Gar- lington. He gives in detatl a description of the Yantic’s cruise to Littleton Island, and the search along the coast to the south for the members of the e; ition party, after learning of the loss of the Proteus. In céuclusion, Cpminander Wildes says: “I earnestly represent fo the department the inadvisability of again sending a vessel north of Newfoundland unless built and equipped to en- counter heavy Ice and provisioned and clothed to Spend an Arctic winter. From the latitude of Cape arowell northward it is Impossible to say where the ice will be met, and thick weather prevails to Such on extent that, with the ytmost, care, a ves- sel may become involved. Had the Yantic been of this description there was nothing to prevent my forcing a passage into the fast ice about Cape York and remaining there, or of maintaining our position until the ice opened or moved off shore. I purposely put this vessel on sevoral occasions into he edge of the pack to get some !dea of how she Frould behave, abd. the result, was not encourag- ing. Darhage to screw, rudder, and rudder post was greatly to be feared. All vessels which cruise i these waters carry heavy, iron, two-bladed lifting screws, as well as Spare ones, and a spare rudder.” CAUSES OF THE FAILURE OF THE EXPEDITION. Commander Wildes’ report sheds no new light on the causes of the failure to reach the impris- oned observers at the Lady Franklin bay station, though 1t contains many interesting particulars Of the disastrous voyage of the Proteus and the adventures of her shipwrecked crew. Commander Wildes writes with delightful naivete of his expe- riences in the northern latitudes. At first he says, “we began to think that Arctic crulsing had been somewhat exaggerated,” but subsequentiy they came to the conclusion that “this frozen re- gion ts not to be trifled with.” ‘THE PIKE-GARLINGTON CONTROVERSY. It will be remembered that Lieut. Garlington, in his correspondence with the War department, re- garding a second expedition, dwelt on the impor- tance of securing an American crew, under naval discipline, as a pre-requisite of success. This showed there had been some friction between him and Capt, Pike and his men, and lately the public has been treated to their side of the story. The Evening Mercury of St. Johns, Newfoundland, ina Tecent issue, introduces the publication of Capt. Pike's log by some very ugly statements, appa- rently inspired by him or his friends, the purport of which ts that the loss of the Proteus and the failure of the relief expedition were due to the arbitrary overruling of Capt. Pike’s judgment by Lieut. Gartington. According to tils story, the Yessel could have liad a clear passage to Lady Franklin biy had the sea captain’s advice been followed by the cavalry officer. Mahone’s Methods. VIEWS OF AN EX-MAHONEITE—THE YIRGINIAN'S FONDNESS FOR OFFICE—THE RECENT OONFER- ENCES OF LIBERAL LEADERS IN FAVOR OF AN “UPRISING IN THE SOUTH.” A Virginian who has been {identified with the Mahone movement in the past, but whose ardor has cooled off considerably, talking about the recent conferences here in the interest, ostensibly, of a general independent uprising in the south, sald: “ Why Mahone’s scheme was plain enough to anybody who understands the man and his methods. There is no people on the face of God’s Green earth fonder of office than the Virginians, T’m one of them, and I know their love for the fiesh-pots, I was present at several of the secret conferences of Mahone, Cash, Chalmers, and the other so-called liberal leaders. Mahone delights in his claim to be considered the pet of the admin- istration. He contributes all he can to the im- Pression that, he ts the great mogul; that Presi. lent Arthur moves at his beck and call. He had 4 double object in agitating the subject of a liberal movement in the south at the time he did. He wanted to impress the President with his impor- tance as the head center of any movement lookin, toarevolt against bourbonism, so that he coul fet more patronage from the administration; aud @ Wanted to make it appear that he was the Grand dispenser of administration favors. It he could create the bellef that he had only to ask for office to get it, he would have no trouble In car- rylng Virginia.” The truth is there was nothing done at those secret conferences of which somuch fuss was made. Mahone would look wise and shake his head when visited by reporters, imply- ing that some important political revolution was about to break forth. ‘The liberal uprising talked ce was all in the minds of Mahone, Chalmers and MR, OURY AND MR. J. AMBLER SMITH THINK MAHONE 18 LOSING GROUND, The prevailing opinion seems to be that the out~ Jook in Virginta is unfavorable to Senator Mahone, Mr. Oury, delegate in Congress from Arizona Ters Titory, has just returned from a visit to Abingdon and other points in the southwestern portion of the state. He studied the political situation closely, and by careful Inquiry sought, to get the Grift of political sentiment. He 1s satisfted that Mahone is going to be badly beaten in that part of the state, where he has hitherto rolled up large majorities, Many of the white readjusters, ac- cording to Mr. Oury’s observation, are down upon Mahone and will vote"against him: ‘They accuse him of having gone over to the republican party, and declare they will not follow him. Mr. J. Ambler Smith sald to a Stan reporter: “I know that the tide of popular feeling {s against Mahone in the valley. ave been in the Shenan- doah valley very recently, and was brought in contact with men who are posted as to the polit- tcal status.” Gx, NELson A.

The work of arranging the gallery of the old hall of representatives, now known as statuary hall, at the Capitol, is almost completed. A tier of shelving, about five feet high, extends clear around the semi-circular gallery, and It ts filled with books. This is an arrangement for the re- lef of the House lUbrary, and not of the Congres- sional library, as has been erroncously published. ‘The gallery ts to be connected with the House ltbrary by meansof a passageway extending along back of the Goddess of Liberty, which stands just above the place which was occupied by the speaker in the old hail.

Proposals had been very widely advertised. The work to be done consists of the construction of a tunhel, res- ervolr and dam, which works may be given out separately or all together, according to the bids. ‘The money for the work has already been appro- priated, and the contract will be promptly made after the bids are opened.

THE EXPLOKING EXPEDITION IN ARIZONA—A LET- TER FROM PROF. JAMES STEVENSON. Prof. James Stevenson, of the bureau of ethnology, now with an exploring expedition in the far west, writes to the Postmaster Genergl, ‘Whose son is with the party,trom Kearne’s Canon, Arizona Territory, under date of September 20, a3 follows: “Our party arrived here yesterday from. an exploring tour among the ancient Indian tribes of the Province of Tusayan, in northwestern Arizona, The weather during the time was de- lightful, and all the Indian tribes we visited met us with more than ordinary cordiality, except one—this tribe called Oriadi is the farthest off toward the (toes canon of the Colorado river,and has seldom been visited by white men.

I merely mention our visit to this village as an In- cident. Otto enjoyed his trip to this village very much, and he, In company with our guide, visited the Orlabl peach orchards and ate all the fruit they desired. We made several trips to promi- nent ruins in this part of the country and secured nee archaelogical and et logical collec ions.” . “Raising” the Postal Notes, INGENUITY OF NEW YORK THIEVES. As soon as the postal notes were issued the question of their being counterfeited was at once raised. The reproduction of the notes, it was said, would be a very easy matter, but in all the dis- cussion the possibility of “raising” the notes was not considered. This is now being done in New York city, and it promises to give some trouble to the post ‘office authorities. The writing on the notes 1g easily altered, and the only difficulty 1s caused by the system of punching out the num- bers in the coupon attached to the note of the dollars and cents drawn, It is said this 1s accom pilshed by punching out another figure and_using 2 particle of paper to Mill the first hole. For ine stance, if the note 1s drawn for one dollar, the counterfeiter punches out the part containing the number 4, taking care to preserve the straight Une, and then inserts this in the place where the ig thus making a nove payable for $4 instead o 55 ee Home From Louisville.
