Gen. Thomas Habits and Tastes.

Gen. Thomas was simple, severely 50,
in his habits of life and dress; yet lie
was an aristocrat in whom there could be
no guile. His was an aristocracy of
worth and not Of pride, money or posi-
ton. He was gentleman Of the olden
school, whose self-respect was too great
to allow the commission Of a dishonor-
able or meretricious act. He never
ate, even in the ARMY, except from solid
silver service, but always Of plain, whole
some food. An indulgence in wines and
liquors was the exception, and then new
er when young man was present
Profanity found no place upon his lips.
In all his service, those the most init
mate never knew him to be thrown off
his guard, or to give expression to a
warm, hasty or indignant word. He
never was compelled 10 apologize fer
wounds caused by indiScretion either in
temper or language. lie was complete
master of himself His head quarters
were always model Of neatness, sobriety
and discipline. lie was so Indifferent to
all pomp and circumstances of war, on
the other hand, though made a major
general on April IS, he had no stars on
his coat until after the battle of Stone
River, eight months afterward, and they
were put on by the strategy of his SER
want, at the instigation of some mem
bers Of his staff. He wore his colenels
coat until the moment of his taking
command at Mill Springs, though he
had been brigadier-general six
months.

Beust informed the Vactican that, in case
the Ecumenical Council should adopt the
dogma of the infallibility of the Pope,
aud indorse the Syllabus, the Austrian
Government would not even permit the
publication of those resolutions in its do

The Canadians have the authoritative news
that the Government of the United States has
refused to allow troops to pass through It's
territory to put down the rebellion in Winni-
peg. There being no reason why we should
gratuitously assist rival and monarchical ma
tons to trample out every republican cropping
up on this continent, we hail with satisfaction
the announcement from Ottawa. The people
of the Dominion have our best wishes
for their prosperity, but they must
not expect us to fight their battles unless they
join our banner. Their Imperial Government
having decided to withdraw its troops from
the Dominion, our neighbors must not blame
us if we refuse them the convenience of our
territory. They are at liberty to revenge them
selves on our fishermen, aud make reciprocity
a little less reciprocal than ever. They are
also at liberty to become what is more to the

WHAT NEW YORK NEEDS IN TIE WAY
or LFGISL1TION

Rascality is fertile in devices and evasons,
rendering new laws, or the amendment of old
ones, a perpetually recurring necessity. Though
the laws were perfect yesterday, they may
need reinforcement to-day, because vllainy
has meantime devised a new mode Of evading
their penalties while comprising the scoun-
drelly end they were enacted TO preclude. The
best code ever devised by man, if left unal-
tered for dozen years, would be found I'M
suitable and inefficient. The older and moro
civilized people, the larger and more elabo-
rate will be its compend OF digest of criminal
statutes.
What this City primarily needs to-day is such
legislation as will render illegal vetng and tho
miscounting of votes 80 perilous that they will
rarely be attempted. The present Legislature
will be worthy of honor if so much good shall
be extracted from it.
The end in question is very difficult of at
tainment. There are probably ut no time less
than twenty thousand men in this City who
would readily commit a safe murder for
hundred dollars, break open house for
twenty, and take false oath for five. Most
of these are of European birth, though we
have also native miscreants who are ready for
any crime that will pay. And this vast army
of villains are shielded and embOldened by
their consciousness that very few honest men
personally know them and that r0gues will
seldom expose them. Hence, they have no
more fear than scruple as to voting illegally
while they are, with rarely an exception,
Democrats by instinct and by conviction
that the party which is unanimously and zeal
ously supported by blackegs, rumsellers and
keepers of brothels, must look with lenent
eye on all who live by vice and crime. Thou
sands Of re dangerous classes will vote lille
gally for their party's sake tens of thousands
will do it for their own sakes if literally paid.
1t rs quite within bounds to say that the Demo-
cratic Hireworkers in this City can at any
election sN'ell their vote ten thousand by fraud
at cost of $4,000 and thirty thousand at a
cost of 100000. 1t cost them the latter figure
to make John T,SHoiiman Governor, although
he was Mayor at the>time. and thus enabled
to render them considerable assistance by
proclamation which said in effect to the ruff
fianism of our City, Go ahead with your re-
"peating and voting on fraudulent Naturali-
cations you shall not be punishedw
There are those who affect to talk of Repub-
lican frauds: but nobody is deceived thereby
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1870-02-24

New-Orleans furnishes new Illustration OF
the nscrutable method and mystery of public
finances in that quarter. To improve the credit
of the State the Legislature impeached the
State Auditor, the people in public meeting
declared for conditional reputation, and the
press represented that Confederate debts would
be assumed. The city has already earned an
unenviable reputation by compelling its cred
itors to resort to the law courts for the coec-
ton of ordinary bills. Now, The Ne,c- Orleans
Republican declares that the Controllers est-
mate of $4,000 for printing to the publishers
of that paper is nearly three times as much as
the sum actually due. That journal "begs to
" decline the honor of being so large a creditor
81 to so poor a debtor" lie will be in accord
ance with the fitness of things and the polite
ness of the occasion, if the Controller now in
sists that the newspaper shall take the extra
two-thirds for its honesty.
