Throwing the GencraIl overheard.


The Washington correspondent of the New
York Herald says the Democratic purpose to cut
down the army is very strong, and that in the
reduction, the four regiments OF colored troops
are to be included. He adds
'But the reduction which has partially been
or will be proposed soon after the holidays, and
which will strike the public will strike the pub
lie with the greatest surprise, s that winch Ii TO
bs made among the leading generals.
determined effort is to be made to force the
passage OF bill thrusting both Sherman and
Sheridan, two of the three major generals--Han-
cock, Schoheld and McDowell-and three of the
brisadier generals, from the army, and consign-
ing them to civil life, with perhaps, one year
salary to begin the business of life upon. That
4 measure so sweeping or so unjust could thnd
advocates in sufficient numbers in either house
to pass it would be highly questionable II pre-
sented alone and simply on its meri Its, but 1t Will
in all probability be attached to some one OF
the large appropriation bills and forced through
as rider. The democrats will vote for 1t as
party measure and as step in favor OF econo-
my. The republicans, particularly in the Sem
ate, will hesitate in regard to voting against it
for fear OF committing themselves i'll the public
eve against reform and economy
"The effect OF the bill, as sketched, would be
to bring the army down to the dimensions 1t
bore in 1860, when ma ior general the highest
rank then recognized by law, commanded the
whole. 1t is questionable II such measure
whether the result of real or pretended reform,
will add to the numerical strength OF the party
responsible for it. There are several hundred
thousand Union soldiers, with their hundreds OF
thousands of friends scattered throughout the
length and breadth OF the land, and who when
they see their old and favorite leaders-Sher-
man and Sheridan-iudely forced from the po-
sitions won by their heroic services for their
country, banished too, by the votes OF men who
but few years ago were striving to destroy the
Union, will ask themselves il the time has not
arrived to call a halt.

NOT TO BE CHARGED TO AMERICA.

We have not had, as yet, any full reports oil
the expressions of the German newspapers on
the Mosel explosion, but it appears from the
kilograms that they have been commenting with
great severity on the character Of the American
people, conceiving that it is precisely exempli-
lied in the person of Thomassen, or Thompson.
II it be true, as is last reported, that he was
German by birth, it Is hard to see where the
press of the Fatherland can get any hold Oh us,
which we have not on their own nation but, in
any event, the action of the meeting OF Ameri-
CANS at Berlin, last evening, which we report
elsewhere, was eminently proper and their de-
claration that the act of Thomassen Affects the
honor, not of any one nation, but Of the whole
race is entirely true.
Thomassen appears, indeed, to have been
citizen of the world. He had drifted about in
many countries, and engaged in various enter
prses. He was born in Germany, reared in
America and had lived on both sides OF the At
lantic at different times. During the war he en-
gagged in an occupation quite natural to that
character which his latest and most atrocious act
displayed, being then commander Of vessel
running the blockade on our Southern coast.
The danger Of the service, the enormous profit
il it was successful, its unlawful and desperate
character, were all in accord with the
features of the dynamite plot, and il
he is to be charged to any particular sec
tion of the planet, or considered the pro
duet OF any special sort of civilization" h'
may properly be placed to the account of thu
Shareholders Rebellion and those who sympa
thized with it. Captain Wirz who committee
the atrocities of Andersonville, and the fien'
who proposed to introduce articles infecte
with smallpox into the Northern cities, may b
put into Mr.. Thomassen's company and max
Up a very congenial and we'll assorted trio.

However much the people may desire all rea-
sonable and proper measures of economy in the
national expenditures, they do not ask,w think,
that the great commanders of the Army-Sher-
man, Sheridan, Hancock, and their companions
should be unceremoniousy thrust out of their
positions. II the present majority in the House
attempt this step as we are told they will do, it
may well shock the feelings Of the people to see
the gallant leaders of the Union armies degra-
ded at the hands OF the ex-Confederate soldiers
who now control the House.

Of the appearance, ways and doings of a
party of 400 Mennonites who stopped at
Duluth the other day while on their way to
Manitoba. 1t says: ''They are almost uni

FIVE feet three in height-though one here
and there in the crowd would run up to
six feet in height, resembling huge pair
of tongs, as compared with his fellows.
They are all dressed alike. The males,
from little to big, wore a fiat cloth cap, a
jacket, and loose pair of trowsers-the lat
ter fitting them about the same az q circus
tent would corncrib-and the texture of
their clothes was of the very coarsest ma
terial, and seemed to have been worn by
the respective owners about eighteen years,
on the average" The female portion of
the party were "all good-looking about
alike" "brown with exposure to the SUM-,
heAlthy-looking, lean, tough and no con-
sumption in sight," AS to their wardrobe
we are told that ION their heads they wore
a cotton handkerchief, la turban, a chemise,
and short skirt tied about their waists, no
stockings or shoes in most instances, though
some of them had on kind of sandal, or
slippers run down at the heel, we don't
know exactly which," 1t looks as though

LARGE NUMBERS OF MENNoN1rEs

They are destined for Manitoba, and are
