HE WOULD AGAIN BE JUDGE-ADVOCATE-GENERAL OF THE ARMY—THE QUESTION OF HIS RETIREMENT, ETC. The efforts that have lately been made to secure the pardon of Judge-Advocate-General Swaim, now under sentence of suspension by court-martial, has caused the discussion of several fine points of military law among army officers. Geu. Swaim’s sentence is for twelve years, beginning in July, 1884, thus making it extend to July, 1896. So that if the President should remit the remainder of his sentence now, or pardon him, he would by law revert immediately to his post of judge-advocate- general, de facto, which he now holds, on the face of the army register, merely ex-officio, as it were. He would thus become REINSTATED TO HIS FULL PAY, and would have about seven years to serve be- fore, under the operation of the thirty years’ service act, he could have the option to retire. Thus, if the President should pardon General Swaim without any further step he would be virtually defeating the sentence of the court- martial. which had for ita object the removal of that officer from the army far alltime. There are two ways for the President to prevent this. One is to make a direct nomination to the Sen- ate ofa successor to the judge-advocate-gen- eral, which would, upon confirmation, legislate him entirely out of the service. Such a mode, however, is not thought to be likely; it is unusual, and might possibly fail from a lack of the consent of the Senate. RETIREMENT AFTER PARDON A POSSIBLE SOLU- TION OF THE PROBLEM. The other method, which is very probably the one that will be adopted should the Presi- dent see fit to take any steps in the matter, is to secure the retirement of Gen. Swaim imme- diately after his pardon. There are three grounds on which an army officer can be re- tired: The first ison account of disability, the second on the basis of thirty years continuous service, and the¢hird is the age retirement, at sixty-four years. The last is compulsory, the second is entirely optional, and the first is par- tially optional and partially compulsory. Gee. Swaim will not be sixty-four years of age for about seven years, and he has ‘been in the ser- vice but twenty-three years, so that he will not beable to retire on either of those grounds until the expiration of his sentence, which the court had in mind when the length of his term of dismissal was fixed, FIT FOR RETIREMENT ON ACCOUNT OF DISABILITY. It is understood that Gen. Swaim has said that he is in a disabled condition, fit for retire- ment, and, further, that he wishes to do so. There are certain inducements that would lead him to such a desire; for instance, he is now on half pay, while his pay on the retired list would be three-fourths of his former compen- sation. _ Therefore it is thought that, should the Pres- ident pardon him, he will first order him before an army retiring board for examination as to his disabilities. If they reported that he was unfit for further active duty and recommend his retirement the President could then remit the unexpired term of suspension, and immedi- ately after order his retirement on the ground of the action of the board. WHO WOULD SUCCEED HIM? The post of judge-advocate-general would then be left vacant and the President would have the appointment of a successor. In that ‘event Col. Lieber. who is at present performing the duties of the office, is thought to have strong chances for succession to the head of the judge-advocate-general’s department, SOUTHERN R EPUBLICANS. Legislation They Desire—They Will Not Press a Southern Man for the Cabinet. Judge Russell, of North Carolina, has been added to the committee of five republican members-clect to the Fifty-firet Congress, here- tofore selected to look after the interests of the south under the next administration. The committee has informally talked over affairs, but nothing will be decided upon until Judge Russell’s arrival. The purpose of the commit- tee is to ascertain the prevailing sentiment of the republicans of the south on various public questions, and then to communicate this senti- ment to the republican leaders in the north. The committee has received nearly two hun- dred letters from prominent republicans in every state in the south. These letters advo- cate the repeal of the tobacco tax, the passage of a national election law, and the passage of the Blair educational bill, Many of em ‘avor the entire abolition of the internal revenue system. The writers generally say it would be encouraging to the republicans of the south if a southern man was given a place in the cabi- net, but that they do not wish any demand therefor to be made upon Gen. Harrison. Bax- ter. of Tennessee, and Bradley, of Kentucky, seem to be the favorites for Attorney-General, and Mahone, Judge Houk, of the committee, says, appears tobe an almost universal favorite for Postmaster-General. Shelter for Herdic Patrons. To the Editor of Tu Evento Stan: observe that a petition is being circulated by one or more of our public-spirited citizens asking the herdic company to have shelter placed at the intersection of 15th street with Pennsylvania avenue, where transfers are made over the different routes of the company. This shelter is a need which has long been felt by people who have to wait in inclement weather for the herdics to which they desire a transfer, and there can be but little doubt that suchan improvement as the one suggested would prove as advantageous to the Berdio company as to its patrons, W.P. —_ Real Estate Matters. a Frances Miller has bought of Josephine Wal- deker, for $6,750. sub 14, square 479—1,973 — feet, fronting 21 feet 13¢ inches on .east ide 6th street, between O and P streets west, sama How He Cuaxozp tue Bm. afternoon the case of Michael alleged flim-flam oj Criminal Court, Ju on ay .

The Commissioners Send Their Views to Chairman Hemphill. “Phe Commissioners bad a board session this morning and gave final consideration to bill “to abolish water rents for the use of tomac water for domestic purposes in the Dis- trict of Columbia.” As the result of theit conference this morning they addressed a lét- ter to Representative Hemphill, chairman of the House District committee. In this letter they said? “This bill was prepared and sub- mitted by the Commissioners in deference to the general sentiment of this community, and, in view of the favorable financial condition and resources of the District, which render feasible as well as desirable the transfer of this burden from the water-takers alone to the general public, except when the use of the water is directly connected with the conduct of business for profit. In this connection the Commissioners take occasion to again invite attention to the following statement of their views quoted from their letter originally transmitting the bill to your committee: “The assessment of these water rents under the existing law, and the keeping of the records incident thereto, are effected by an assessment department, under the chief clerk of the water de ent, separate from the assessor's office, with a separate complement of clerks and other official paraphernalia. One of the results of the proposed change would be the discontinu- ance of the chief clerk’s office of the water de- ent and the consolidation of the remain- ing duties of that officer with those of the assessor. to which toe 4 are germaine, and plac- ing them under the latter's supervision, thereby materially conducing to economy and convenience, The water rent is nota permanent tax, but isa flexible charge, changeable from year to yegr at the pleasure of the authorities, subject to the restriction only that it shall be cient to pay certain liabilities incident to the extension, maintenance, and operation of the water department, and never be a source of revenue other than as a means of keeping up in said cities of Washington and Georgetown a supply of water. Whenever the expenses of this department are augmented there must be corresponding increase in the yearly charge upon consumers, und this necessity is the source of much embarrassment to the authori- ties and of irritation to the community by the frequent additions to the water charges, while the amount of water supplied per house is not only not increased, but in many cases dimin- ished, and there is consequently a general de- sire for the abolition of this cane for water used for domestic purposes. “It is proposed to continue a rent charge in cases where water is used for business purposes at a rate bearing relation to the quantity used, which can be ascertained with reasonable ac- curacy by the use of meters or otherwise. “The Commissioners believe that the amount of rents that can be collected for water used for business purposes, without hardship to the consumer, will be sufficient to pay all liabili ties on account of the interest and sinking-fund now chargeable to the revenues derivable from water rents, and that the ordinary expenses of pipe distribution in the fature can be readily met out of the general revenues.” The Commissioners further recommend that the words ‘in business of any kind, conducted for purposes of profit,” in lines 9 and 10, sec- tion 1, be stricken out and the words ‘‘waste- fully or for other than domestic purposes” in- serted in lieu thereof.” THE NAVY TO THE RESCUE. American Interests to be Protected at Samoa, Hayti and the Isthmus. The government is experiencing the novelty of having three foreign danger points to watch at once, andall of them being considerably dis- tant from our borders it is necessary, in order to protect American interests, to have recourse to the navy, The Haytian, Isthmus andSamoan difficulties coming all together render the vigilance difficult in view of the limited num- ber of vessels at the disposal of the Secretary of the Navy. It has been his good fortune, however, to have three vessels, conveniently located, practically ready for sea, The Atlanta, which is about Yeady, will be sent from New York to the assistance of Admiral Luce at Port-au-Prince, where matters are assuming a very dangerous outlook. The Vandalia, at San Francisco, is also practically ready to sail, and will be or- dered, it is understood, to Samoa to reinforce the Nipsic. The American interests on the Samoan islands ure not very extensive, our only property there being a coaling harbor that was given to this country a number of years ago. It seems, however, to be deemed wise for the United States to be represented among the Germans, English and natives by more than a (= ie ship. The Mohican, now at Mare Island, Cal., will be ready, it is thought, in about two weeks, and she will then be dispatched to Panama. The Trenton is at rei on the eastern side of the isthmus, here is great fear that the unsettled state of things in the region of the unfinished canal will lead to serious outbreaks among the thou. sands of ignorant laborers employed on th work, and, judging from former experiences at that point, it is well that this country should have forces on both sides: of the isthmus. Cannot be Blinked Out of Sight. To the Editor of Tux EveNtNo Sra: Your editorial of yesterday on the purchase of school-house sites by the District Commis- sioners treats the subject fairly, and I believe reflects the sentiments of all honorable c zens. I agree with you that the President can- not be held responsible for the action of the Commissioners in this matter up to this hour, as he has not the time to devote to an exami- nation of all the details of District affairs. But with the facts connected with these trans actions staring him in the face, should he re- ya oped Commissioner Webb, whose term of office expires next Sunday, then the President becomes involved in the transaction and will be held equally responsible with the Commis- sione! It will not do to try to belittle this business. It is a serious matter and cannot be blinked out of sight. I don’t know how much Mr. Cox has made out of his position as middle- man for the Commissioners, but learn from a retty reliable source that it is considerable. me putting his profits as high as $18,000. In the case of Weller & Repetti, they held some building lots belonging to'an invest- ment company which they offered to the Dis- trict Commissioners for 37:4 cents per square foot, This was their asking price, put on their bulletin board and lithographed on their plat of the lots for all the world to read. ey would have been glad to have sold the lots for several cents per foot less, net cash. Instead of availing themselves of this opportunity to urchase directly and with a discount for cash, e commissioners employed a middleman to stand between them and the seller. This middleman ‘8s the highest price for the land if sold on ig time, then exacts from the seller’s agent one-half of his commission, then turns the land over to the Commissioners for 45 cents per square foot, net cash. It would seem as if Mr. Cox ought to have been satisfied with the #32 he received from Messrs. Weller & Repetti as one-half their com- missions for the few minutes’ work he devoted to this unnecessary business. But instead of this, however, he, with the consent of the Commissioners, proceeded to sell these lots to the District in the name of Daniel 8. Pickerell (his own name not 4) in the tion) for 45 cents per square foot, thus realiz- vo (ge foot profit, amounting to ¥ .Sesides the #32 he received as one Ralf of the agent’s commission, total of $323.44; that he received for and the sellers, or tween the over ten times as much as .Weller & Repetti, | nia & Southern Land Co., California Monthly Hail.
