WASHLVG.TON LETTER.
Editorial Correspondence.
NUM
The finding of the Court-Martial
in the case of „Sergeant Mason, tried
under military law: for firing into
the jail of tho - district of Columbia
with intent to kill Guiteau, while
doing guard duty at the jail in
September last, has been approved
by General Hancock, the ' Depart
ment Commander; and is now made
public.. He is found
. guilty of the
charge of firing the shot with intent
to kill. Also of the charge of vio
lation of military discipline. The
sentence imposed by the =finding of
the Court;Martial is imprisonment
In the penitentiary for eight years,
and a forfeiture of all pay and ArMy
allowances and dismissed from the
service. The sentence , is regarded,
outside of army circles, extremely
severe, and the expressions of `dis
approval are vehement and very
general. The case now rests with
the President, and the only hope for
Mason, is that he will mitigate the
sentence or grant him full pardon.
Already, public meetings are being
held expressing sympathy with Mason
and petitions are flowing in upon
the Pxesident.for his pardon.
It would'iieinif that the dignity of
the Axmy might have been mautain
ed by . a sentence less severe for the
crime of making s a futile' attempt
upon the life of one 'of the most
dastardly wicked criminals known
to the annalsof crime.
The hallowing from Toledo;! Ohio;
is a specimen of the telegrams re
ceived here announcing the circula
tionof petitions for' the pardon of
Mason:
"A petition to President Arthur
for-the pardon of Sergeant Mason
was circulated here to-day. It has
already received the signatures of a
large number of prominent business
men.. The grounds presented for the
eiercse of 'Executive clemency are
the excitement under which the
shooting was dope, and the claim
that punishinent,. enough has been
suffered to -meet' the demands of
military discipline."

Of the thirty-four affirmative votes

Of the absentees-9 Republicans
who would have voted in the affir
mative were paired with 9 Democrats
who would have voted in the nega

Of the negative votes, 13 were Demo

clear indication of the political statue
of the two parties on the questioo of

While the measure is not decisive of
any prohibitory action, it is a step
in the right direction, and further
legislation will depend very much
On the character of the report of
this commission.
PENSIONS
f
Remembering that at every nation
al . and congressionrl election the
Democrats are profuse in their pro ?
fessions of friendship for the soPiers,
I made a careful examination of the
records of the last Congress to find
how manyl bills granting pensions
were passed by the Democratic
House, during that term. I find the
total number to be eightyfeight.
In comparison with the 'above
Democratic record, I find . that at
this early stage of the session, the
Committee - on Invalid Pensions. has I
reported .favorably, on about 150
cases of
.applications for pensions,
and this Republitan . House" has
already passed eighty-two bills grant-.
ing individual pensions:
To show which party is the true
friend of the soldier, it is only Dee;
essary to refer to the facts of the
record. The Committee on Invalid
'enSions of the last Congres4 was
composed of nine Democrats, dmong
whom were several ex-Rebel Briga
l3iers, and ,six Republicans. As'
eltzhoover, Democratic member
from YOrk, Pennsylvania, in giving
a reason to one of his constituents
why he could not'= pass his bill for
a pension, "there was too many ex-
Rebel Brigadiers on the Committee
and they did not look with fav'or on
bills to
_pension Union soldiers."
The Committee in, the present Con
gress is composed,pf nine Republi
cans, six 'of whom were officers of
the Union Army, f(i . nr -having been
Brigadiers, "and two Colonels, find
siX Democrats. Really it does make
I -
a difference, and our es-anion sol
diers when asked to vote the Demo
cratic ticket should note the fact.
Congress and Tariff Legislation
The Democrats graciously agree
that a vote-shall be taken -on the Tariff
,Commission bill if they are permitted
!to offer amendments. 'This means a
nimeral scrimmage on the whole
question of the tariff, but better that
than trot at all. ' What
: the people de
mand'is some definite action on the .
question' of a Tariff Commission, and
if CongreSs cannot make up its mind to
pass the bill, then it ought to - be gotten
out - of the way, so as to make room for
other tariff measures. The Protection- .
ists do not object to a full discussion of
the whole tariff question if desired, but
if they are wise and stick together they
will vote down all amendments which
will hamper the Commission in its
work, or limit; the scope of its inquiries.
'What is needed is a tariff revision
formed after - - a full and free inqairy by
a competent CoriniSsion, left- free to
.follow its own judgment. If Congress,
does not like iis work, it amend it,;
but it should 'not send it to. that work
burdened with. instructiensc• _ •
While the Majority of 'the House are
hell responsible for the-legislation of, a
session, the latter May fall very far short
of representing the majority's real pur
poseand desire. The rules seemed to
be framed with a view to retard rather
•
than 'facilitate legiSlation,- and they so
shackle a majority that they can make
but little headway except by the grace
of the minority. When other resources
of opposition fail, a strong minority,
Such as the 'Democrats now have, can
always ,filibuster and' prevent a vote,
and this they never hesitate to do when
earnestly opposed i to any pending
measure. A majority -of the present
House are Undoubtedly in favor of
some tariff_ legislation, not only this
session but early in the
,'sessilon: :Per
haps there are not a majority at pres
ent who wish the same thing, but more
than half are Certainly opposed to the
do-nothing policy which the present
situation indicates as imreinent. In

more industrious committees deluge the
House at eVery,sesSion the most impor
tant measure may be easily, Iniried out

for taking it -up out of its regular

A Brutal , Murder.
A terrible tragedy is reported from
Great Bend. It occurred, at an early
hod. Tuesday eCiening, and has thrown
the unusually ;quiet order-loying peb
ple of that prosperous little hamlet into
a great state of excitement. The story
isa short one, and points another mor
al' against the use' of intoxicating
liquors. John Decker, a young man
hardly arrived at manhood, and Mich
ael Cooney, another young man, with
others, had been drinking in saloOns
about the place, when a quarrel arose
between the two former. Hot words
were followed by a proposition to settle
the controversy by a fight, and the two
repaired to' the street to have it out.
But before they had a chance to get at
each other, Dennis Cooney, a brother
of the last named, joined in the dispute,
and, after a few words, drew a knife,
and stabbed Decker, pierc p ing his heart,
killing him almost instantly. As soon
as Cooney saw the result of his pas
sionate blow he fled, but was atter- .
wards captured. Cooney is about
thirty-five years of- age, and is said to
be a hard character. When the mur
dered man's body was taken to his
home, his mother was very much over
come, fainting thirteen - times before
she came at all composed.

Whin the architect who designed the

Minister Garnett's Death.
WASHINGTON, March 10.—The State
Department is informed of the death of
the Rev. Henry Highland airnett,
United . States Minister to Liberia,
which occurred at MourOvia on the 13th
of ; February. •
[Mr. Garnett was born 'a slave on the ,
estate of Colonel 'William Spencer; in
Maryland, in 1816. He escaped • to the
Free States when.a mere: lad, and -at
the ago of tiventrseven graduated from
the Oneida Collegiate Institute and
entered the thoelogieal school at Troy,
New York. 'He was for many years
pastor of the African Presbyterian
Church, in New York, and was a' gifted
public speaker and in eloquent preach
er. One of the few colored men 'to at
tain an eminent position in New York
City, he' was second to Stephen A.
Douglass: in. national reputation. In
politics he was an earnest Republican
and was a. delegate to the 'National Con
ventions at Cincinnati and . Chicago.
One of President Gaifield's last official
acts (signed July 1) was to appoint the
deceased Minister to Liberia. It is
said that Dr. Garnett's grandfather was
brought from the country which is now
Liberia, about a hut. dred years ago, by
slave-dealers, and that his daughter,
Mrs. , Barboza, a missionary, has for
some time past lived-and labored among
the native Africans in the very :place
whence their ancestor was torn.
Buffalo till says that the heirs of:
Philip Cody, his grandfather, are suing
for about fifty acres of land in the
Sixteenth ward in' Cleveland. The
property is nearly all on Euclid arena
and valued. at sl,6oo,ooo.—There are
seven heirs, the children of two sons of
Philip Cody. The latter died at Cleve
land in 1848. and was of unsound mind.
Three years previous he deeded away
his vast property, then mostly farin
laud, for a mere song. ! Only lately the
heirs came into possession of this knowl
edge, and have begun a suit against
each person who owns property on the
disputed land. Mdny offers of compro
mise have been made, but none were
accepted

In the memorial to Congress against

but !for Congress to move immediately
to its work. The pgislation of the
session was unimportant. Both sides
agree ,that the gevernor exercised
his absolute veto power with good
judgment. In Almost eve!y instance
his suggestions were! adopted, and his
approval thus secured.
On one point, however, the Govern
or and the legislature could not agree.
The Govorner held it hia duty trider
the United States statutes to nominate
certain territorial ezecutives officers,
whom the legislature assumed _to elect
under a territorial law, passed when
Brigham Young was Governor. The
legislature refuied to conce4e the point,
declaring that there weref• nil vacancies
in the said offices. The Governor and

mutual interchange . of compliment.

1118 BRILLIAT' RECORD.
General Wright's career was brilliant
from the beginning. In 1848 he be
came connected, as civil•engineer. with
the Pennsylvania railroad company.and
did, good service with . the surveying
party, that raw the experimental lines
over the AlleEbeny mountains. In 1843
he went over to the Turtle creek divi

surveys were completed. he traveled
about the world until the brooking out
of the war of the rebellion, during a
part of whichlie served as chief of the
enaineering corps of the armyjof the
Potomac, with,the rank of general.
LEI iHERM.L.`eB MARCH TO -TfIE ,SEA
He was apartichlar friend of General
Sherman, 'who admired his dash and
fine executive abilities, In' Sherman's
march to the sea General Wright had
command of a large force of men de
tailed for pioneer duty and 'Was often
brought in close• contact with gueilllas
and portionsCf the confederate 'armik
With the army of the Potomac he had
. speciali charge of the . Construction and
protection of burned bridges, a work
for which, by .reason of his dashing
bravery, lie was especially well fitted.
At The close of the war he built several
large bridges and vaiidus public ,works.
He hid char..,,e of the plans and con
struction of the Kansas and Missouri
bridge at Leavenworth and the bridge
at Atchinson, Kansas. •

with the De Lessees Party that visited
the isthmus of Panama two years ago,
being chosen by Count De -Lesseps as
the American engineer of that E.pedi-;
tint. When the 'party returned .to New
York. it was announced that General
Wright would make the principal ad
dress at a banquet given in honor of the
canal scheme. When the time came f oF
the address .Gene - r 4 Wright was not to
be found. Iu the. course of an hour
word was brought to the .
,bauquet hall
that the speaker of the evening was
helpless from intoxication. Since.that
time be .had remained! in obscurity,
sinking lower and . lower, by reason of
his appetite for strong drink, until the
end of the tragedy was reached Thurs
day night. General Wright was tin
married.. He has - relatives in Adams
county and at' Wayne Station on the
,Pennsylvania railroad.
The recent flood iu, the Mississippi
