A period of oppressive siloncc followed,
which was at last broken by Mr. llaud

"Whcu I found that my boy did not

The Conduct of Military Ofllcera
in Washington.
Statements made lo as yesterday, by
some ol the mo't respectable citizens of
Capitol Hill, concerning recent doings of
the military cflicera al Capitol Hill bar
racks, which, if correct, aro sufficient to
excite tho disgust and indignation of every
man, woman aud child possessing a grain
ot common senso and a singlo Hpark of
humanity. Tho most prominent and dis
gusting of thescacts are said to have been
witn-sscd by a largo number of residents
in that vicinity on Saturday evening. Wo
give the stories as they aro told to us .
A Eoldier of Compmy II, Eighteenth
Vettran. Reserve Corps, (the regiment
stationed iu that barracks,) named Chris
topher Eldctbrand, visited the Twentieth
Corps for the purpose of scciug a friend,
became intoxicated, and did not return lo
the barracks iu si ason to auswer to roll
o a 11 . Const quetitly, at ix o'clock on
Saturday evening Eldctbrand was sus
pended by the thumbs to a rcuud of a
ladder placed with oho end on the ground
and the other ajainst thocavos of tho buil
dings. IIu was kept suspou-lcd until fif
teen minutes to uino o'clock. After two
hours of fufaring, the cries cf Eldrr
brand (who is ab.ut seventy years of age)
wcro bo loud- and lieart-reuu ng tti.it a
gag was placed in his mouth to suppress
the noijio.
Tho erica of tho sufferer sxoitud the wife
of a lieutenant in the barracks to such a
degree thai Ax threatened f.o cut the niau
dowu herself if no other person would.
Tnoso who were present and saw Elder-
brand taiiuii down say that the blood is
sued from both Ids uoio and mouth
Yesterday morning tho two citizens
whom we havo uiotitioueo above as having
made remarks concerning the punibhuicut
were before Col. John-on, the couimauder
of the regimm.t, ono ol them having boon
taken there under arrest. Col. Johusou
charged them with inciting the crowd to
riot, and ordered ono to report at a fixed
tiui", and tho other when notified.
The ouc, however, who was taken bo-
fore the unload under guard, yesterday,
oallod on S.cretary Stanton, aud laid thu
facts bofore him.
The Seoretary called in Gen. Fry, and
requested him to investigate tho caso.
The Socrelary thou dispatched a cour
ier with a'n order from Col. Johnson, re
quiring tho rolouso of tho gentleman who
called on him from arre.-t, wilh whioh or
der tho Colonel is said to have complied.
Wbilo in oonvorsatioti with tho Seore
tary of War, this gentleman also informed
him that a soldier had been confined in
tho guard houso of tho barra'eks for thrco
months, lacking a few days, aud had been
lying very ill for tho most part of the last
month of his confinement, having been
deprived of the services of a physician,
and, until within tho past few days,
still remnitiing iu tho guard-house. This,
tbo Secretary said, should bo nlso inves
tigated. The folks in tho neighborhood testify
that it is a general praotioo of theso offi
cers to plaoo men,for tho cligbtost offences,
in the street with a ladder around their
peaks, and to compel them to carry it for
two hours at a time.

numor.i still continue in refcreneo to
tho resignation of Secretary Slanton. It
ii even intbnatcd that there is not most
complete haimony between tho President
and Iho War Secretary j that the latlcr,
at tbo lust Cabinet meeting, endeavored
to exercise a controlling influence here
upon tho President suddenly "took tho bit
boiu'cch his teeth" and puriued Ms own
oourse regardless of whip, spur or rein,
Whether there ia auy truth iu tho story or
not, wa do not pretend to decido, but the
fact is pitent thai the conservative Repub
licans desiro a now man in tho Vv'nr Of
fice If there should be d change, tho
radicals will demand tho appoiotuiont of
Butler, or some other man ol that school.
The conservalives will ask for tho ap
pointment of ono possoising broader views
aud a clearer record, A decision as to tho
proper man has not yet besn arrived at,
but whoever ho may be thero ii reason to
expect as great an improvement in that
department as there has been in the 'I'rcas
ury since Secretary McCullooh succor dod
Chase.
Wo havo already suggested tho name
of Governor Cur'tib, and there is no doubt
ho would mako an csoellent Secretary for
the times. Tho friends of General Sher
man havo now oomo -forward and ask for
the appointment of ill eir favorito com
mander. Thorn oan bo nn question thai
tho appointmont of Gon. Shormati would
meet tho approval of a larno numbor of
people of all pailios. His political views
aro unknown. Ho is believed to havo
been educated a Vhig,and sitioa'tho break
ing up of that organization, bus not de
fined his position politically ,but has some
times voted for Democrats and somctimos
for Republicans. Upon this subject the
New York Journal of Commerce remarks
as follows :
"The career of this d'lEtingui-hcd officer
has endeared him not alone to his army,
but aleo to every soldier and to tho entire
American people. The enthusiasm with
which ho has been received in Washing
ton will be equaled in all the oountry,and
he will find himself already known in
every house whero a patriotio hoart beats
for tho soldier ol tho Union. It is ono of
tho most remarkable incidents of tho
times in whioh wo live that tho attempt
should bo made to destroy tho reputation
of suoh a man. It was as iniposslb'e lo
effect this as it has proved in other at
tempts ou other officers Tho peoplo of
this coutitry havo a strong appreciation
of the meritfl of the soldiers who have
be n protniuent in the war. Willi very
great skill, and novr mistaken judgment,
they select the true patriot aud brave sol
di r, while thov do uot fail, with equal
olenini'fS. to mark arid understand tho
men who seek to build up military fame
by personal aud political relations, or by
procuring publio notice with9ut deserv
ing it.
"Tho publ'o know nothing about Gen.
Sherman's politics He has n political
notions so far as they arc iuformcd, He
is a frank, fsarloss nun, expressing opin
ions, only at they rotate to tho business in
hand, and bear on tho immediate work be
foro him. In some oases his opinions thus
expressed havo notjbeon sudt as wc oould
approve, but this mado no differenco iu
our admiration of tho man and tho sol'
dicr. Ho seothi eminently fitlod by his
esperienco and his crcoutivo ability for
any position to which ho may bo called,
and having mado the most thorough per
sonal Intpeoliou of the South t nd its con
dition, it scents uot iniprubablo that he
knows moro of the military necessities
there than any other man. Tlo War Da
partment will bo closely occupied for sonic
time to come with puestions relating to the
military occupation of the South, and Gen.
Sherman would probably mako a gooil
Secretary of War in this view. On the
principle of honoring and giving employ
ment to bravo and skillful soldiora, tho
President might consider this idea."

Sherman and Stanton
Gen. Sherman In his reply to Halleok
calls him and Stautou dssasssina j here
aro his words :
"I ihink I understand both tbo circum
stances and men sufficiently woll lo ap
preciate tbo motives of your despatch.
Both you and Mr. Stanton sent mo warn
ing to betvaro of assassins. I did not
know then that tho authors of tho warn
ing were themselves ths assassins I tad to
fear."
Ono would think that a thrtitt like
this would penetrate tho rhinoceros skin
of tho hurley Secretary ; but it only had
tho effect of raising tho writer of it in
Stanton's estimation. Wo aooordingly
bavo it announced by telegraph that tho
friends of Gen Sherman and Seoretary
Stanton are endeavoring to reoonoile tho
former to tho latter. S it socais that tho
General has Stanton upon his knccs,shrink
tig further ch istiseniont. This is tho truo
spirit of ti whipped spaniel or a baflled
conspirator. But instead of the heroic
Boldicr hooding tho whining of Stanton's
messenger, begging pardon for their mas
tor, the daumloss soldier is mingling with

The EjiPEiton Nicholas and the Ac
tor. Tho following anecdote is now, and
exhibts tho late Emperor of Russia in a
new character, as well as records ona of
tho most happy escapes from an awkward
position that wit and presence of mind
might afford. Some yars ago thero 3 was
a very celebrated oomio notor at .St.
Petersburg na,mcd Martioff. Ho had most
extraordinary powers of Imitation and was
a great' favorito with tho publio as some
times to venture interpolations of hu own
instead of following tho advice of Hamlet
to players to "speak no moro than is set
down for thorn." Tho Emperor at tho
samo timo had a high chamberlain, or
personage filling a similar office, named
Poloff.-ky.
Whether lor fun or malioo MartiofTJ
while porforming, contrived to let Ily aomo
puns Bgaintt this great tnau, which wero
warmly received b the audience. Tho
consequence was, ris soon as4he pity wu
over, tho actor found himself in tbo cus
tody of a guard of soldiers, who took bim
to prison, where He was told no was to
be confined for a fortuight. Not conten
ted with this, Poloffsky either told the
Emperor himsclfjOr contrived that itiho'd
oomo to his cars, ihas tho player bad ac
tually had tho presumption to indulge in
imitations of His Imperial Majesty.
Ou his liberation, Martioff, wont to
Court to pay his ro-pceta as usual and tho
Emperor told him of his accusation, whiob
ho denied. "Well," said tho Emperor,
"if you never did so, let mo havo an im
itation of myself now. We know you
ean do so if you choose." This was an
awkward and dangerous position for tho
poor actor, who tolt ne mould get into
trouble for cither falling short of or over
doing tho character. Still the autocrat
was determined ; there was no osoap'e.
Suddenly a bright thought struck tho
player, aud drawing himsolf up, be as
sumed the oxaot bearing and manner of
the Emperor, and in a voioo so liko that
