SIGNAL OFFICER Hffl
A Man Who is Very Unpopular With
Army Officers.
THE CHARGES AGAINST HIM.
Vailed a Ceward and a Perjurer A Few
Army Questions.
Washington Correspondence of the Times.
Let us leave politics just once and talk
about the army. It is a subject that is
very interesting here just new, for the
"army circles" are powerful, select and
active. The army and navy people, by
whom I mean the families of the officers
of both branches of the service, are the
aristocracy of Washington. They find
their way into nearly all the old families
and it would astonish you were I -te tell
you, as I may some day, of the ramifica
tions of some of these families. Tlie boy
who graduates from West Point next sum
mer will be a brigadier general thirty
years from new, and the Annapolis boy
will be a commodore or an admiral. The
boys will marry into an army or navy fam
ily, and thus they become quite a power.
Of course all the West Point aud Annapo
lis boys can't marry in the army or uavy,
but wherever they marry the family into
which they go at once has a great interest
in the service. And I am rather inclined
te think that the service holds its head tee
high sometimes. But let that pass. Just
new "army circles" are stirred te their
centre about the retirements aud promo
tions. The greatest excitement is ever the ap
pointment of Gen Ilazen te be chief sig
nal officer. It is the grossest piece of fa
voritism that has occurred in the army for
many a year. Hazcn is very unpopular
among the army officers, for the staunch
fellows who go out en the plains, light In
dians, live in tents and are short of rations
and clothes new aud thep have a natural
and a just aversion te the favored officer
who happens te have lmluential political
connections, who arc constantly getting
him relieved from disagreeable assign
ments and finding soft places for him.
Ilazen is of this kind. He belongs te Ohie
and married in an influential family there.
He has had less hard or dangerous duty
since the war than any officer of his grade,
and he has had mere lavers than any
three put together. His assignments have
always been the best, whether he was
quartered in a city or whether he was
en duty traveling in the various countries
abroad. He has always had mere leaves
of absence than any ether officer and if
by chance he happened te be sent te a
disagreeable place he whined like a big
baby until he was relieved. He has done
a great deal of leafing about Washington,
and is what is sometimes called a " lobby
officer"-r-ene who will lobby te have him
self sent te a pleasant pest. This among
officers is thought te be dishonorable. It
is certainly unmauly.
These are net the worst points against
Hazcn. It has been asserted aud pretty
well established that he is a coward, which
te a soldier should be regarded as the
worst of all crimes. General Stanley, an
officer of equal rank, has called hint te his
face a coward aud a perjurer, and also in
the newspapers and in official documents.
It is said that at the battle of Shiloh, in
April, 18G2, at about 10 o'clock in the
morning, Hazeu "separated himself, get
away or skulked" from his brigade and did
net return until the evening. In the
meantime his command had fought nobly,
aud thought their commanding officer had
been killed or wounded, and they searched
the field for his body. He said his com
mand had deserted him. General Stanley
made the charge of cowardice and perjury
openly against Hazeu and finally preferred
charges against him aud asked for a court
martial te establish them. Political in
fluence stepped in, and our noble president
decided that "the service would net be
conserved by convening a general court
martial te try you at this time." Ail this
time Hazcn was resting under these terri
ble charges aud never asking for a court
himself. Reader, if he had been a high
minded officer, with conscious honesty in
his heart, would he net have begged for a
court, and, failing in that, knocked his as
sailant down ? But he did neither. Stan
ley then wrote him a personal letter of the
most insulting character, ending by calling
him an imposter. This was done, no doubt,
for the purpose of inducing him (ilazen)
te bring charges and specifications against
Stanley. It had the effect aud the two
officers went into the military court. Gcn
erel Hancock was president of the court.
Stanley admitted nearly all the specifica
tions and ilazen was most roughly treated.
admonished in neutral orders bv the ccn-
eral of the army." General Sherman in his
order admonished Ilazen quite as much as
he did Stanley, and ordered both back te
their cemmauds.
In the impeachment trial of General
Belknap, Gccretaryef war, General Hazcn,
unless my memory is geno, committed
perjury. He wrote certain letters which
contained facts that were fully established,
aud he went en the staud aud swore te
quite another thing. There was net a
senator or a spectator present who did net
leek upon him with contempt. He was
confronted with his letters and next day
he tried te fix up his testimony se that it
would square with the facts. While Bel
knap was in power he was writing flattering
letters te him, but the minute Belknap
get into trouble he became a willing wit
ness against him, although a secret one.
He went privately before the Clymer com
mittee and told what he knew about pest
traders and asked that the fact might be
concealed. Was that like an officer and L
gentleman? Anether charge against
Hazen is that he charged noble old "Pap"
Themas with falsehood in order te glorify
himself. I have been shown a copy of a
letter written by Hazcn te thu historian,
Benjamin J. Lessiug. Ilazen, you under
stand, was looking out for his place in
history. General Themas, in his dis
patches from Chattanooga after the battle
of Mission Ridge, said that the Ridge had
been carried simultaneously at six differ
ent points. Hazen writes te Lessing:
"Nothing can befartlierfrem truth," and
then he proceeds te tell what wonderful
things he did. I wonder hew the boys of
the old Army of the Cumberland will like
Hazens's comment. It seems that Hazen
also asserted that he was the first te arrive
en Mission Ridge, but he was flatly and
pointedly contradicted by General Sheri
dan under oath. Hazcn has been aptly
termed a "glory filcher." When his
name comes up in the Senate for confir
mation as chief signal officer it is likely
that some of the senators will call atten
tion te the style of man he is and te the
scene in the Senate chamber. General
Sherman does net like him, Sheridan does
net like him, and few officers of the army
like him. There was no reason for his ap
pointment. Mr. Hayes was guided no
doubt by the fact that Hazen is from
Ohie and that he has a strong political
backing. There are seveval colonels who
are his seniors who have had hard and con
tinuous service since the war, while Hazen
has been basking in the sunshine of royal
favor abroad or parading his fat person in
drawing rooms in the East. It is clear te
see why he wants te be signal officer.
There is no danger in that and he will have
nothing te de but te leek handsome and
draw his salary and quarters' cemmuta
tien. His nomination as signal officer has
had a marked effect en the weather al
ready, but it will be a cold day when he is
confirmed. .
There is a geed deal. I fear, about army
matters that you aud I, Mr. Editor, don't
knew about, and that we shall never bear,
but we may be allowed te comment en
some things that leek strange te us. Fer
instance, we may think it strange that Mr.
Hayes did net fellow his civil service no
tions he is always preaching, as he did in
the case of General Drum for adjutant
general, who is net only a noble officer,
but a glorious gentleman. If the next in
grada te the late General Mver in the sig
nal office could net have been appointed,
why net nave taken Colonel Gibben, Col
onel Ruger or Colonel Getty all seniors
te Hazen, and all better men, thank
heaven ! And while asking questions.
why was that grizzly old warrior, General
Ord, retired ? I followed than stubby old
white moustache of his for nearly three
years in the Pennsylvania reserve corps,
and the Pennsylvania boys have a great
liking for him. Next te General McCall,
he was the first commander of the reserve
corps. He kuews nothing of parlor duty,
of complimentary letters, European pres
ents aud lobby duty. He has always been
iu the field. He is about sixty years old
ana is as robust and healthy as almost any
officer in the army. He is a better man,
physically, than Hazen. He is younger
than General Sherman, General Meigs,
General Marcy or General McDowell. Be
sides, he is peer, while mauy of the ethers
are rich. He was capable of many yeats
of hard service and was the best officer in
the army for the Mexicau frontier. Reader
why was he discharged '.' He never asked
for it aud he didn't want it. I'll tell you :
His place was wanted for one who had
powerful relatives aud political influence.
Is it net a devilish outrage ?
When the war closed Grant, Sherman,
Sheridan aud Stanten get together te fix
up the general officers of the army. Of
course all the brave major generals and
brigadier generals wanted te go into the
regular army with major generals' or brig
adier generals' commissions. This could
net be arranged. Several were appointed
with the understanding that they should
go out at once and take asylum en the
retired list. Of this number was General
McDowell. He was the first commander
of the army of the Potomac,
and, if I mistake net, was the first briga
dier general appointed in the regular
army after the war broke out. However,
when he was appointed major general in
the regular army he premised te retire. Se
did ethers, te get promotion, premise te
retire, but they all forget it. McDowell
has had mere parlor seryice and less field
service than any general officer in the
army. He has been about New Yerk and
ether centres se much that he has made
many powerful friends, while Ord, Creek
and some ethers have been en the plains
making acquaintance with hardship and
deprivation. McDowell is also rich and
can afford te take the half pay of a retired
officer. Why should net he have been re
tired instead of Ord, who was earning his
money ? It is due te General Sherman te
say that he protested, in a letter te the
president, against Ord's retirement. Then
if he didn't have it done, who did? Let
tts see ; Colonel Nelsen A. Miles, a noble
fellow and gallant soldier, is appointed in
Ord's place, jumping Colonels Gibben,
Stanley, Wilcox, Ruger and ethers,
Colonel Miles married the niece of Jehn
and General Sherman, and the lady-is also
the sister of Senater Den Cameron's wife.
There never was a better soldier than
Miles. He had been en the plains ever
since the war and everybody would be glad
te see him prosperous, but he is young and
General Ord ought net te aave been put
out te make a place for him. By the way
the general of the army was along age
eligible for retirement. Why doesn't he
letirc, and give General Sheridan a chance
or General Grant? And, pray, why don't

Frem Je. Heward's Sunday Times Letter.
Imagine me just this side of the ferry
gate the gate which opens en the bridge
te which a Jersey City ferry-beat is
chained. The season winter, tlie time
midnight. The dramatis pcrsoine are your
humble servant and a black-eyed girl,
about seven years old, Says she te mc :
" Customer, buy a Telegram .?" Says I te
her : "Ne, I thank you." She cries, I miss
a beat and the lollewiug iollews :
sn nrkfiun I hiive wmr ninnps
u,Twv. ..j .... jv,i.. ;..1,v..r.,
rs, what
will you ue?"
"I'll go home?"
" Where ?"
" Sixty-five Christopher."
"And get a geed supper aud a nice,
warm bed?"
"Igncss net, I don't get no supper and
I sleep en the fleer."
"Well, suppose I don't buy any of yenr
papers whet then ?' '
"I'll stay till I de sell' im."
" But what if no one buys them ?"
"Then I'll get licked."
"Honest?"
" Honest."
In ether words, while the Society for the
Prevention (with a capital P) of Cruelty te
Children is arresting well-dressed, well-fed,
well-paid children en the stage of the
Academy of Music, it permits little seven-year-old
girls te be starved, exposed and
outraged en the public streets at an hour
when every philanthropist in the city is
abed and asleep. Fer years I have en
deavored te selve this little girl problem.
Our streets are filled with them. Cut
offices are infested by them. They sell
papers, matches, apples, nuts aud oranges,
and encounter net alone the pitiless hat
of the summer and the fierce blasts' of
the winter, but the terrible tempta
tions of a city where wolves might
be considered missionaries aud wilder
beasts might pass for Christians.
This humbug society with the long
name has a suite of convenient offices
luxureusly furnished and a list of repu
table officers. It has patrons, a patronage
and money enough te purchase palaces.
But se far as I can discover it never touches
a child in rags, it never succors a girl in
distress, it never helps a boy in trouble.
But it it is everlastingly sending meu te
the back doers of theatres, always hauling
up managers who hire and pay children
by the week and never wearies in making
happy children miserable. This society
permits school exhibitions, for which cliil
tren are tortured, and winks at academic
Bhews, for which children are crammed, as
ether geese for Christmas. But it never
gees te Fulton ferry, where littic girls arc
trained in the vices that our decks arc
noted for ; where girls of tender years
consort with drunken sailors and are the
sportive companions of inebriated contra
bands, and where language of which the
hottest Hottentet never dreamed is the
constant argot of the babies en that block.
Seme of our writers make a great fuss
because district messenger boys are util
ized by bad men and vile women, but I
den'c care for the beyp, especially at all
events net in this letter. What I am call
ing attention te just new are the little
girls. Big girls can be bad if they wish te.
They knew' what they're about. But
isn't it a shame that these little girls
should be steeped in vice and saturated
with vulgarity befere they reach their
teens ? We have all seen and beard
bold, bad girls of sixteen, but here
are little ones of seven, eight and ten
who can discount the veriest loafer
in language and are familiar with the
lowest phases of semi-crime. It is useless
te call the attention of the secietywith the
long name te this abuse. Why? Because
it requires patience, continuity in self-sac-
niicc, daily vigils, nightly attention and
would secure no publicity. The deviltries
in which these little apple peddlers are
versed would amuse the Christian women
of the laud. The infamies practices to
wards thee children by men and boys can
net be exaggerated. De the girls object ?
Net at all. But surely that will net be
urged as an argument agaiust interference.
That a child is steeped iu siu and finds
pleasure in its commission is proof positive
that she needs a strong arm te pull
her from the pit and te protect her
afterwards. Please don't put me
down as a poser iu morals. I am simply
an observer. I leve children aud would
gladly help any one of these little girls te
a plane as comfortable as that en which
my own staud. I meet them every night
cold, wretched, hungry, cheeky, dirty
aud iu some respects repulsive. I don't
bring them before the public in .any
ehurchly sense. I take them by the hand and
show them te you as fit subjects for this
ridiculous society which ignores its proper
field of duty aud seeks notoriety by inter
fering with children who would be far
better off if they were left alone. I de net
envy the man who insults one of these
girls. I don't care te smoke, drink. live
or die with the cur who dares utter words
te them he would never use in the presence
of his own. That there is a Ged I never
.doubted. Whether lie xeally takes cogni cegni
zauce of us as individuals is an open ques
tion. If He does He must regard with a
peculiarly jelly eye the operations of the so se
called charitable societies of Getham.
Huger shams were never known. Gresser
frauds were never exposed. Mere success
ful beggars nevcr flourished.
In this inclement season and heaven
kuews it's cold enough te freeze the tail
of a brass deg there are hundreds df boys
and girls who literally sleep iu barrels and
garbage boxes, behind bill-beards and in
hallways, te whom one het meal a day
would be an unheard-of luxury. As for
warm stockings, whole shoes, undercloth
ing or caps, of course little things like
these arc net expected. Last night, as I
came toddling down the square, 1 noticed
half a dozen boys huddled together in the
middle of the street, near the World office.
Naturally I stepped a moment, and inves
tigation showed that the group were
gathered ever the steam escape from the
press vaults under the street. The wind
blew a hurricane and great clouds of dust
filled all the air. The city hall clock
showed half an hour after mid
night, and there for hours yet
would be that shivering, scant-clad gang,
quietly taking turns ever the curling
steam. I tell you, it made a shiver start
from the outside of my heavy ulster, pierce
its thick, double folds ; pierce its comfort
able lining, pierce my double-breasted
coat, pierce its vest, pierce my linen and
undershirt and cuticle and stab the inner
most cockle of my heart. In about a min
ute up walks Mr. Policeman : "Hi, you
there ; get en, move off, stir your stumps,
get en or I'Hrun yen in," aud the boys
scattered iu a twinkling, and mingling
with the dust that filled the air were lest
te sight :is they damned their luck and
wondered what in the name of heaven and
earth they were born for.
" De you knew," remarked u prominent gen
tleman te us a few days age, " Dr. Hull's
Cough Syrnp is really a geed thing. My
daughter would have me iuc it for bad cough
and it did cure me."
