Grant After Number of Protests Had Been Considered. —— ‘WASHINGTON, Dec, 1.—Private John ‘"%, Bmith, of the Hospital Corps at Fort Mott, N. J., who married a negress, and ever whose case there has been much controversy, has been ordered dismissed ‘fP trom the army without honor, Acting Gecretary Ol!ver, of the War Department, in accordance wit} the Fecommendations of Gen. Grant, com- , Manding the Department of the Bast, and the Surgeon-General of the Army, bas directed his discharge. Private Smith is a white man of ex- edilent caracter, but his marriage to a . colored woman by a negro pastor caused @ great commotion in Southern Jonsey, where Fort Mott ia situated, the excitement centring at Salem. The mat- ter was brought to the attention of the ‘Ware Department, whore fear of a long color line argument caused more than & ttle apprehension. It was some weeks ago that Smith @ Manifested the most pronounced affec- tion for a dark but good-looking ne- reas, described in an official com- munication as “color of an old saddle.” j@ persisted tn taking her to public jtaurants, and several proprietors re- to serve them because of the ‘s color, Private Smith was re- 1 peatediy lectured by his supertor oft- 4 cer, the post surgeon at Fort Mott. The advice was unheeded, Instead. Private Bmith sought & negro pastor and married the object of his affections. Then white residents of Salem peti- ened the War Department for the dis- honorable discharge of Smith. Negroes prepared and forwarded a similar petl- tom, Btrong representations were made 4 that unless action was taken quickly the residents would take matters into thelr owa bands and do bodily injury to Ginith, The Post Burgeon also trans- mitted @ tecommendation for his sum- mary dismissal, and declared the ser- ‘vieg had been scandalized by Smith's rommanding officer at Fort Mott, the matter in another vw Bane ie @aid that under the laws of Jersey & white man could legally “Bnitt. heard ot ie “pers, take: 4 atl oO action mag proclaiming that only followed the campe et Commander-in-Chief the Presi- jent, saying that “if the head the army & hegro food enough to get wee 8 & 19 Was good enough to become the wife of Private Smith.” ‘ Ly up officials of the Wer De- ent were excited when the various communications it to 8! doqu ured In pou them. itt sibility, All inte were laid before Judee Stern Generel Davis for an opinion.
