PERSONAL NOTES _— Things have not picked up much socially in Washington, although a number of houses, which have been deserted and dull for the last three or four months, begin to show signs of returning life.

Court-Martial Proceedings at Washington Disapproved. Private Fred Lockhart, Company G, 15th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, having been tried by a general court-martial con- vened at Fort Washington, Md., and found guilty of behaving himself with disrespect toward his commanding officer, absence without leave and indecent exposure of person, was sentenced to be confined at hard labor, under charge of the post guard, for two months, and to forfeit $10 per month for the same period. The record in this case having been sub- mitted to Gen. Gillespie, commanding the Department of the East, for action, he in- dorsed the papers as follows: “In the foregoing case the record fails to show that the prisoner was afforded an opportunity to plead, or that the court ar- rived at a finding on either of the four charges. The members of the court being no longer in this department, the record cannot be returned for revision. The pro- ceedings are, therefore, disapproved, and the prisoner will be released from confine- ment and returned to duty.” — Marriage Licenses.

Fort CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS Work Being Done by Committees of Both the Parties. Democrats Not Making © of Co! duct of the War—Republicang Looking for Gains in West. While the interest in the war has diverted public attention to a considerable extent trom political operations, the two congres- sional campaign committees, with head- quarters in this city, have been doing a great deal of work, and are receiving inters esting reports from all over the country, The managers of both committees antict- pate that the last three weeks of the cone Sressional campaign will be full of activity ' and the contest in every doubtful district Will be conducted with great energy. Both sides are professing confidence in thetr ability to elect ajority of the House, but a week or so ago the republicans felt the effect of embarrassment in several quarters. At this time, however, the re- ports received at the republican committee are very encouraging, and the indications rongly to th point House in the next ¢ ONRTESS. publication of the democratic cam- paign book was waited with a great deal of interest, it being expected that an attack would be made on the management of the war, based on the criticisms which have been indulged in freely in the newspapers. With some ¢ erness 4 wisdom, the democrats avoided making an issue of this sort in their campaign book, and, while in- dividuals on the stump may go into the question, this course of the committee seems to preclud the administration be- ing put on trial in this campnign for the Management of the war. At all ents, it is not the intention to make a party issue of it. It is b with which the nt has instituted an investigation of the various charges that have been made is chiefly what discouraged the democrats in any idea of making an is- sue of this sort Two other things, to that end. followers w the promptn: however, have operated One is that Mr. Bryan and his nt to focus attention still upon the money issue, upon which their domina- tion over the democratic party depends. The other is that the men who are laying down the plan of campaign have not any fai in an investigation resulting in seri- ous blame being rested upon the adminis- tration, and they realize that the people of che country are not apt to be led into cast- ing a vote of censure upon the administra- tion which would take away much of the glory that resulted from the war. {t is for this reason that the committee, in seeking some point of criticism upon the republican party in connection with the Cuban matter, dwelt chiefly upon events in Congress prior to hostilities, They had very little hope of gaining anything through public discontent on aggount of any feature of the conduct of the war. The chief concern of the republican com- mittee has been over some factional @iffer- €nces in the casi, where they have feared the loss of several seats in the House.
