Arbitrary Conduct of a Military Officer.
Koiit 1Iakm:v, Ogn., Sept. 1st, 70.
IOditoi: Mkws: A piece of military
uespotisui has been enacted at tliis
u ,
1 0?j u b?w days ago, which ha aroused
IceiinLT oi indignation amomr the cit-
,
.ens ot the vicinity; and which, when
, , , ..,
j thoroughly ventilated, will have the ef
fect of inrensi lying the already existing
bitter antipathy in the hears of the
pplc, for the military organization,
and its ncioachments upon th -ir liber
tics. The Commander of the Post and oth
er officers having tikfn a day's l.-ave of
absence lately for the purpose of hunt

date, une However, a highly respected
citizen who figures prominently among
the stock-men of Grant County, bavin"
some very urgent business to attend to,
failed to leave the Post within the re
quired time. His liberty was of short
duration however, for suddenly he
found himself between two s'ddiers
with shouldered arms, escorting him to
a solitary cell in the Guarddiouso,
j where iie was confined quite a while,
a,,d t!i(in "larehod at the point of the
bayonet outside the limits ofthegarris-
OU
Tiiis too in a Post where a Public
house for the accomodation of the travel
ing public is allowed: where a trading
post and U. S. Pot ollice exist for the
benefit of the people of the neighbor
hood. But what did Commanding Offi
cer Sparrow care for U. S. mail or any
thing else, this was a military garrison,
and he was King for a day. Why he
threatened to have the acting Post-mast-er
confined for three weeks on bread
and water, and undoubtedly would
have put his threat into effect, but for
the timely return of the other oificers.
There can be no palliation orjexcuso
jfrthc arbitrary conduct of this over-
bearing and conceited nincuinpoop; it
cwnot even be ured that ho might
have a "little too much aboard," for he
was never known to dissipate in any
thing, except on rare occasions in a
pint of pea-nuts and a section of ginger
bread. Despotic conduct of this kind
must not be tolerated, and the people
must seek redress through the proper
channels.
