Chattanooga, Tenth, Dec. 21.—The drat official act of Captain C. C. Hodges, superintendent of the Chatta nooga division of the Southern railway, was to appoint J. B. Stanfield general yskdmaster at this point to lake effect January L Washington, Dec. II.—For nearly three hours Senator Foraker, of Ohio, addressed the senate yesterday on the subject of the president's dismissal of a battalion of the Twenty-fifth Infantry (colored) In connection with the Brownsville, Texas, affray. With characteristic vigor and bold n»ss, the Ohio senator analysed the at titude of the prealdent In an effort to onvlnce the senate the prealdent mis conceived both hla constitutional pow ers with respect to the action he haa taken concerning the negro battalion end the testimony upon which Ills ac tion was based. Attacks Exscutlvs Action. Although he was twice Interrupted by Senators Lodge and Knox, he dead with the entire range of the subject and created a decided Impression upon the senators; The speech of Mr. Fora ker, although he endeavored to be con servative, was a severe attack upon executive action. Senator Foraker. after reading ex tracts from the material sent to the senate by the president, added: "Senators will study in vain to find a precedent connected with the United States Army. The nearest approach to It Is a precedent given of action by General Lee in discharging a regiment of Confederate soldiers. What Gonenl Lee's evidence may have been I do not undertake to May; but there Is no prec edent in either the volunteer or regular service for what tho prealdent has done here. Certainly none so far as #e have been advised. Therefore, I say again, somebody Imposed upon him. TVhc:i tho president undertakes to say that there are plenty of precedents for what he haa done, I say there are no precedents." . "There is no Precedent.” Mr, Foraker said that whatever prec edents there may have been in the case of General Grant or General Lee com manding In the field during the time of war, would not apply to time of peace. "What may have been done during the civil war," Mr. Foraker continued, "would not only not apply because It was done during time of war, but ba- cause It was done before the articles of war in the form In which I have read them were placed in the statutes of the United States. Since these articles were framed ajid promulgated as they are teday no man can be convicted of an offense without first having a chance before a court-martial to make his de fense, face his accusers and cross-ex amine the witnesses who seek to dis grace him before the world.” Resolution la Postponed. W hen 8enator Foraker concluded his remarks he received consent to modify the resolution so that It now directs the senate committee on military affairs «o Investigate the circumstances leading up to the discharge of the negro troops. Mr. Lodge replied briefly lo Mr. Fora- kef's speech. 'ITie resolution of Mr. Foraker goes over without action until after the holl day recess.

TOM HUDSON DID HTS BEST TO PLEASE What time Colonel Tom Hudion If not busy showing Georgia farmers the tvay to become plutocrats he Is per forming some kind of good office for friend or constituent. For Colonel Hudson does not know how to say no to any kind of a re quest. Yes, he's a pollttclun all right, but ho'a much more than that—he’s, a man with the milk of human kindness fairly overflowing his whole system. Now and then this obliging spirit and kindly disposition to do all kinds of odd behests leads him into complicated situations. Occasionally he finds in gratitude. But nothing sours him. He goes ahead willingly to aid the next unfortunate with a new zeal. Which leads up to a trouble that over took him not so many months ago. A friend and neighbor down In south Georgia was very much Interested In getting a pardon for a good old negro, who had got himself Into trouble by a small offense—his first one. I "Tom,” said the neighbor. "I want you to get Aristophanes out of the pen. You know old Aristophanes that worked for me so long?” Colonel Hudson said he knew him. That Is the way of him. He wouldn't openly confess that there's a min, woman or child, white or black, In Georgia that he doesn't know person ally. Least of all Any one in his neck o' the woods. Unfortunately he did not recall old Aristophanes, but ha argued that the name was unusal and easy to locate The sequel Is sad. Ho Colonel Hudson came up to Atlan ta and made an eloquent plea for the pardoning of Aristophanes. The prison commission gave him respectful hear ing until hn concluded. Then one of the commissioners Inquired: "Colonel Hudson, will you be kind enough to give us the other section of Aristophanes’ name? There are three In the Georgia penitentiary bearing that euphonious name.” Colonel Hudson looked blankly at his Interrogator. Finally he said ho didn't know the other • part of Aris tophanes’ patronymic. After much pui- iIIuk. he determined to trust to luck, and get the right one by finding the locality he came from. Aristophanes was pardoned and Col onel Hudson went away glowing with the thought of a good deed performed. A few weeks later he was In the south Georgia town and met the neighbor for whom he had performed the errand. "Well." said Colonel Hudson, genial ly, "guess old Aristophanes Is back at work for you now 7" “Like biases ha Is. You got ths wrong Aristophanes pardoned!” STATISTICS.
