The conclusion of the Swaim court of inquiry, at Washington, will shortly be followed, as is generally believed, by the order of Secretary Lincoln convening courta-martial for the trial of Judge Ad vocate General Swaim and Colonel A, P. Morrow, on the charge of conduct un- becoming officers and gentlemen. In the case of General Swaim the charge ia based upon dishonorable monetary trans- actions with a Washington note-shaver named Bateman, the scandal connected with which has forced into official notice, what the public has had reason to be- liove tor a year concerning Colonel Mor row's triplication of his pay vouchers, The simultaneous pullication of this|* double army scandal will doubtless afford the papers, whose business it is to pick flaws in our present military morals and management, an excellent opportunity to resume their tirade against the regular army and the officers who command it. We may expect to have the cases of Reno and Tlges, of SBimpson, and Cummings, of McKibben, and Robertson rehashed with all the variations on the old key of *‘rot- tonness in the service,” The proportion of offonders to the total number of officers on the roll will be carefully suppressed, the fact that fewer officers are brought before general courts-martial than formerly will not be mentioned, and no allusion will be made to what is well known, that the purification un- now of the army by the expulsion of worthy officors has been accomplished ontirely by the army itself, that the charges have boen made by brother- officers, end that the accused have been tried and sentenced and expelled by the very class against whom such sweeping and general charges of dishonesty and corruption are so fllppantly made. These are items which must be set against any general bill of indictment drawn against the service. It may bo said, at tho outset, that, perhaps, the public expects too much of the army, or, rather, of army officers as a clags, On some accounts, it is natural that this should be so. The honor of the country and the honor of the soldier are often very closely connected, and the rank of an officer and the qualifications of a gentloman are presumed to go hand-in- hand. This feeling is nowhere so strong as in the army itself, and it is due to its strength among the officers that thoe de- velopments of the past year in court- martial cases have come to light. In ench and overy caso brought to trial prompt justice has been measured out to the accused, and the honor of the army has been preserved by the dishonor of the offender. There is no reason to doubt that the same inflexible sense of justice will assert itself in the cases of General Swaim and Colonel Morrow. Honorable officers everywhere, assertions to the contrary notwithstanding, the great mass of army officers are honorable, have been scandal- ized by the developments of the past month in Washington, Secrotary Lin- coln will give no faint hearted support to every effort to aid the service of men with whom brother officers feel it a dis- grace to be compelled to associate. A mistaken executive clemency, which in the past has forced back into the army rozues expelled by court martial, is not likely to be exercised in behalf of such offenders by President Arthur. And prominent officers have not hesitated to express the opinion that if the scathing and often unjust criticisms of irregulari- tics in the service have done no other good, they have at least rendered difticul in the future the exertion of political in- fluence to restore to rank and command men who have been branded by their army associates as unworthy to associate with officers and gentlemen. Tux recent riots are having a salutory effect in Cincinnatth, The number cf her murderers will bo materially reduced at an carly day by some healthy legal hangings. The criminal courts have been increased from one to three. The judges are refus- ing all applications for continuanco un- less for the most vital reasons, and a much better class of men (il the boxes. Minor offenders are disposed of with a promptness that would have been declar- od quite impossible threo months ago, and when convicted the judgo looses no time in sentencing thom, and the sen tences are severer than under the old regimeo. Oliver, who was convicted of murder last Saturday, was defended by Major O. H. Blackburn, one of the ablest criminal practioners in Ohio. Major Blackburn looked for an acquittal, or at the worst a verdict of murder in the third degreo.

In Philadelphia the under- ground electrical couduits are working successfully, and all companies not hav- ing complied with the ordinance granting them privileges have been notified that their rights are nuil and void, The day is not far distant when Omaha will follow in the wake of the eastern cities and force the wires under ground, and thus do away with the unsightly and dangerous street obstacles, Dn, MiLLer is certainly making the voice of Nebraska democracy heard throughout the land. The Chicago News thus speaks of his recont declarstion: “Dr. George L. Miller, the able editor of the Omaha Herald, says that the Neb- raska delegation to the national demo- cratic convention will favor ' conservatism on the tariff’ questi)n. We are of the opinion that this will be very reassuring intelligence to the great mass of thinking peoplo who are keenly cognizant of the fact that without Nebraska the grand old democratic party would bo simply noth- ing.” Rear gsrATE in Omaha still booms on the hills while it is being disturbed by contractors on the flats.

Sold by subscrip- tion only., The volume is beautifully printed and illustrated, and has a hand- somo illuminated cover. The auther is a lady—an American—who has occupied a high position in Washington circles, and is thoroughly qualified to write upon the subject of Mormon life in Utah., The story is written in charming style, and tho plot is intensely interesting, as con- siderable ingenuity has been exor- cised in its formation, Tho facts narrated in the story all have their counterpart in the well-au- thenticated experienco of actual lives, Tho incidents aro not at all exaggerated, Those facts upon which the stury hinges are more hideous in their naked truth, than those clothed in fiction’s drapery. The author has evidently been among the Mormons to gather her material, which sho has certainly dressed up in attractive array. Weo venture to assert that her work will bear good fruit, and will im- press upon the people the hideousness of polygamy and the necossity of crushing it. It is high time that heroo action be taken towards removing this cancer from tho body public, and wo be- lieve that the author and publishers cf this powerful story, will contribute not a little towardsa consumnation so devoutely to be wished, The motive of the story is one that commends_itself to every in- telligont avd high-minded porson, and therefore it should receive tho heartiest welcome and gupport, as we believe it cortalnly well. In her preface the author makes the following appesl: “Somo womon in Utah are held in si- lence by domestic tyranny; some by hope, through their zeal, of gaining infly ence parameunt with Lhmr lm.\hand, and thus, pandering to his vice, obtain mastery of him. Disgrace to woman that thus it is! and yet is it truth, “‘But to you, men with daughters, those silent tongues lpnk with oluqu»nco bu ond all wo!

Newell (Orpheus C. Kerr), finely illustrated, published by Fords, Howard & Hulbert, New York. This novel opens, with immediate,strong dramatic effect, in the metropolitan so- cieiy of the patrician old Knickerbock- era, sixty years ago; and, after a roman- tic prelude, both surprises and keenly freshens the reader by transferring character and action to one of the most fascinating tropical paradises of the Orient. Here the web of the story be- comes piquintly “‘international’— the best American and English social types coming together in a series of scenes and adventures as picturesque and animated as they are unhackneyed. Upon the texture of a delicate and poetic love- story are etched, incidentally, the strange and stirring principal acts in_the carecr of the famous English Rajah Brooke, of Borneo; and through all the alternations of the Anglo-American social drama with the most heroic and chivalrous passages of modern personal history in the Orient, comes conspicuously forward the charac- ter of a great Darwinian naturalist, who has visited the home of the orang-outang, to work out the problem of the *‘miss ing link,” Here an enormous Ape comes into the plot, in a subtly woven scientific illustration, which by a series of most atriking pictures, brings a denoucment such as none but the “Orpheus C, Kerr” of the memorable Papers could ever have devised. 1t ina striking, ingenious, unhackneyed, and poculiarly *‘taking” story and study.

Simple. direct, with- out the lazy gracesof quitude and leisure- ly polish, it opens with an unpretending scene of villiage life, introducing the maidenly and most attractive heroine of the story—a girl of sensitive nature but rather unusual force of mind—on the day of her ‘“‘graduation” from the village high-school, Her brother, too, was a stalwart, prosperous, clear-headed young physician, claims attention.

And if it be true(which can hard- ly be questioned) that, as we arc told in this book, patients are never discharged as cured unless by the express order of of those who are responsible for paying their expenses in tho institution; it isin- deed time that the public at large should know why. ———— PERSONAL POINTS.

At the out. break of the war he was commis: ed by Gov. Houston as a brigadier general of volunteers, and in the succeeding years of strife did what he could to estab- lish a southern confederacy. At the end of the war he went over to the wirning side, and in 1865 he was ap- pointed judee of the Fifth judicial dis- trict. In 1868 he was elected to the state constitutional convention, In 1869 he was elected to the state senate; and two years after was elected governor of the state, In 18 sent to represent his district in another constitutional convention, thus assisting in the formation and adoption of two state constitutions. In 1872 he was chairman of the Texas delegation to the republican national convention, and in 1880 he was one of the Texas members of tho Grant guard of 306 at the Chicago convention, It was here that he asked the famous question which brought him prominently before the country as a man of great statesman- ship and a keen sense of the objects of » plitical party. Mr. Barker, a delegate from Massachusetts, the morning after the platform had been agreed upon, brought in a clvil service plank embody- ing extreme New England notions of civil service reform, and lugubriously de- plored the manifestations thac he saw around him, that everybody had a main eye to the offices. Mr. Flanagan lost all patience at this, donounced the resolution warmly, and as ‘What are we here for!” the question being hailed with ronrs of laughter.
