Celebration at Washington by tho

Praise for the ssBoys i'm Bluc."
WASHINGTON, Nov. %, 1873.
At the celebration last night OF the veterans OF
the war OF 1872 General Sherman responded to the
toast to the army and navy, saying that, az the
most Of those present were old soldiers they would
understand that he must speak as an old solder.
He had been connected with the army since 1S4O.
1t was not his fortune to be in the OF 1872 He
was born after they were commissioned officers,
and yet he had reached tue head OF the Army OF
the United States which he had attained by fair,
square promotion and service He was
GLAD TO ASSURE THE VETERANS
they now have in the army fine a set or young
men as perhaps they were, and nine-tenths OF
them had seen service in the war of the rebellion,
most of them being veterans OF from to 20 bat
ties. At present the army is greatly reddced, and
they who had not been West could scarcely COM
prehend how scattered the army is and how thin,
numbering, as 1t does, only about 10000 men, and
One-third nearly are non-combatants. Even for
the purposes OF defence only it is much too small;
but should the occasion arise war with Spain or
other Power they
COULD FILL THE RANKS BY THE BLAST or A TRUMPET,
as it were, and put large force in the field. This
nau Oeen proved III tue late war. Iney nad found
that men came from their vocations and entered
the ranks, making excellent soldiers, with an
alacrity that astonishing, and at the close or
the war they cheerfully went back to their pro-
fessions as If no war had occurred. 1t was pre-
dicted during the late war that the country
would be ruined by the military when the war
closed that they would never return to their former
vocati0ns without much rloting, robbery, &c. In
fact~the whole army, regular and volunteer, would
be band OF thieves and robbers. But they had
proved
AMERICANS CAN TAKE UP THEIR ARMS AND LAY
THEM DOWN
when the war Is over with cheerfulness. and
quietly resume their professions. Thus it at
the close OF the war OF 1912 and the Mexican war.
We have proved that when the necessity for the
soldiers ceases they can return to the civil walks

troops nor volunteers are dlsturbers of the public

may be called into it. The young officers OF the
armies. more brave, intelligent, reliable set
could not be found. They should not think that
men have degenerated, for they have not, and
those OF the present army would compare favora-
bly, with those who were young in 1872. AS for the
navy, they knew with what despatch it was being
prepared for war. The dock yards are now hives

TWEED AND SHERIFF BRENNAN.

The Attorney General " Wants to Know
Why the Boss Is Not Sent to the
Penitcntiary mt Oncc.-
Sheriff Brennan yesterday received letter
from Mr.. Francis G. Barlow, Attorney General OF
the State in which the latter says that 'it is now
nearly week since William NJ. Tweed was SEN
fenced to term OF Imprisonment in the Peniten-
tiary, and that he the Attorney GeneraD
learns from good authority that Tweed
remains at the Tombs or City Prison in
stead Of being sent to the prison to which he
was sentenced IT, therefore, the sheriff does not
execute the sentence and send Tweed to the Peni-
tentiary by this morning. as ordered by the Court,
he would lay the matter before His Excellency the
Governor for such action as may be necessary in
the premses.u
When reporter OF the HERALD called at the
Sher1ns Office Mr.. Brennan had already lett for
home. Under Sheriff Joel Stevens, however, when
questioned on the subject, said that such letter
was received but that the Sherinvs office knew
how TO conduct its own business and could not be
inundated by the threats OF anybody"
IL Is not known what action the sheriff Is going
to AXE in the matter, whether he viii send Tweed
to the Island or keep him prisoner in the Tombs
until the meshes OF the law can be unravelled by
having stay OF proceedings granted bill Of ex-
ceptiOns filed or another trial.
In the meantime the ex-"Bossr remains IN his
old quarters at the TOmbs where only his most
intimate friends and relatives are allowed to visit
him.

THE CREDIT M0BlLlER SUIT.

The United States Judges Dismiss the
Bili-Law That Connot Reach Fraud.
HARTFORD, Conn.,, Nov %, 1873.
The important Credit Mobilier suit, which was
tried in this city last october. has been decided
by United States Judges Hunt and Shipman, and
the opinion was dled in the United States District
Court IN tins city to-day.
The motion of the defendants counsel to dismiss
the BILL involving the question of jurisdiction,
decided in favor Of the government on the second
point.
The Court sustains the demurrer and dismisses
the bill as to the parties who demurred. The
ground OF the demurrer is that the damage to the
government by the Credit Mobilier frauds is too
remote to be reached by the process pursued or by
any other, and that the government has at present
no pecuniary interest to be reached by the bill.
The Court taxes the view that there is no trust
anywhere raised in behalf OF the government to be
protected. The motion to dissolve the injunction
is granted.
1t is not unlikely that the matter may 60 TO
the Supreme Court, though there is not much
PROBABILITY OF reversal.
