STANDS BY THE PRESIDENT, LATIMEH APPROVES DISMISSAL OF THE NEOBO TROOPS.

Washington, January 19.-Special: 1 Senator Latimer, on tbe occasion of a recent visit to the White House, ex- 1 pressed to the President his gratification that at last, in the Brownsviilf case, the Chief Magistrate bad done something tbat be could agree with ( him upon. There bad been such a ] wide difference of opinion between them on almost every otber subject, and especially tbe race problem, tbat the South Carolina Senator said it gave him great pleasure to declare bis . approval of this one act. 'There was no hesitancy on the part j of Senator Latimer to give his viewe on the Brownsville tragedy, >'I am" he said,when asked as to the matter, "in hearty accord with the action taken by tbe President in regard | to tbe Brownsville affair. I had thought of making a short ppeeoh on tbe floor of tbe Senate expressing my ! views on tbe President's aotiou in dinmissing tbe negro soldiers involved in ! tbat unfortnnate affair, but the matter has been bo thoroughly discussed and the facts brought out so fully that I 1 feel it would be a mere repetition of what has already been so ably ex pressed oy omer ?enaiorij. "As to the guilt of those negroes no j one has expressed any doubt, except the senior Senator from Ohio, aod be 1 has not been able to present an argu- ' ment in favor of any other conclusion 1 that to my mind is worthy of con- 1 sideration. I have do question as to the President's right to discharge the ' troops. His right is expressly set ( forth in the 4th article of war, which reads as follows; 'No enlisted man, i duly sworn, shall be discharged from the service without a discharge in writirg, signed by a field officer of the regiment to which he belongs, or by the commanding officer when no field officer is present; and no dis- , charge shall be given to any enlisted ' man before his term of service has expired, except by order of the President, ^ the Secretary of War, the command- * iDg officer of a department, or by senstrv r\f a 1 PaII l?f _ *y1 u l*t yq 1 ' Thft j ICUUC ui a ^vucjoi vvui v ui>?< vim*. --v . power of the Presideut, the Secretary of war, the department commanded I and the order of a general Court-mar- < tial to discharge soldiers before the ex1 piration of their term of service is ab- < solute. This is evident also from j Article 69, which reads as follows: 'No officer shall be discharged or dis- j J mi>sed from the service except by or-| der of the President or by sentence of a general Court-marl ial. etc, etc.'.* "From the foregoing articles of war, j which I have just quoted, I find ample authority piven the President to discharge soldiers for the good of the service uuder circumstances similar to those which occurred at BiownsviHe. F do not see what else the President could have done under the circum-!, stances He had either to dUcharge the soldiers or do nothing at all, as the conspiracy of secrecy wan so complete' that had a Court-martial been ordered (' it would have resulted in a mere farce < \ and the guilty would have remained ' in the army to t>e trans erred to some other point and would have been , followed by a repetition of the Brownville out-rage. ! "I, therefore, hold that the aotion of the Preeideut in discharging these troop9 waa absolutely necessary to hold the respect of the American ?&.? .> -. . -V < .-'-j people for the army, to retain Its di cipline. and for the protection of tl right of civilians Id communities 1 which these troops would be locate "It is my opiuion siDce this ma ter has been brought so prominentl to the front by the Brownsville an other outrages commited by the 251 infnntpu f-hat nn winer action on tl part of the President or Congress cou be taken at this time, in the interee not only of the wblte people, but the negro as a race, than that evei egro should be dismissed from tl army and navy."

' She is charming," observed the man, mentally, as he closed the door of her home behind him. "Ye?, she's an unnaturally interesting woman," he repeated, as he turned the corner. And why? Simply because she bad sat for two solid hours and listened. Because by a tactful question or two she had drawn him on to talk of what he liked, while Bbe listened interest edly. Because, when he told her of ! marvelous achievements, she had seemed awed; when be spoke of a sorrow, bereyes bad been all sympashy; when he related an amusing incident ' she had laughed merrily. Always she had listened, intelligently, understandingly. And in his eyes she was? ! charming, an unusually interesting woman. 1 Since the days of the humorist woman has been laughed at and joked with because of ber talking propensities. She had been likened unto a magpie and she has been called a talking mashine. She has been accused of never letting a man get a word in, in the proverbial manner, edgewise. Now, the clever woman lets him round out his every word, and occasionally, ?h? nakM a nnentinn?a tantfnl. well timed question, and?listens. Listening is not merely making use of the two ears with which nature endowed human beings. The woman who has truly learned the art liatens with her eyes, her mouth, her bands? her whole attitude is that of listening, of being interested in every word of the conversation. Even a little girl is attracted to the woman who asks a small girl what she is doing in school, what sort of game she likes to play, where she goes and what she does, and listens to her childish way of telling it, always seeming to understand, is the woman who the child loves.
