SHERMAN's ARMY TALK.--Our views
of Gen. Sherman's army talk at New
York the other day we find to be in &C
cord with those of other leading journals.
The New York World says:
Before Gen. Sherman talks any more
nonsense in public about the regular
army we respectfully advise him to con-
suit the official record of its history. He
Will learn, if he does this, that the nation
contrlVed to bear the worst strain of the
civil war in 1864 with a regular army
amounting in round numbers to 40. 600
men, and that two years after Lee had
laid down his sword at Appomattox the
| corrupt manipulations of the republican
majority at Washington swelled the
| men, thus burdening the taxpayers of the
United States in a time of profound
peace with a wicked and Wasteful an.
nual outlay Of about $40, 600 900 over and
ABOVE the expense of the whole armv
which was found adequate to our n4eds
In the worst crisis of strife through
which we have ever been called to pass
In 1850 10000 men sufficed for our whole
regular force. There is no sort of reason
ior MAJ aintainlng now a regular army Of
more than 10000 men at the outside, anC
yet in 1874 a republican Congress fixeC
the force at 25,000 men,"
The N. Y. Sun also has the following:
In his speech before the Chamber O
; Commerce Gen. Sherman spoke O
"pirates anchoring off Wall street," ant
demanding the money of the merchant
in case the regular army should be dis
banded. The general evidently forgo
that New York has civic army at lsas
as well disciplined and efficient as that h
behalf of which the general made such
plaintive appeal. New York's soldiery i

THE REVEREND WIFE PoISOEER.
Cheat Excitement at the Trial Of El-
der McGhee-Verdict Of Guilty.

Dixon, H., June l3.-The trial Of the
Rev. s. II. McGhee, for the murder Of his
wife is over. McGhee poisoned lis wife
with strychnine, in order, as is alleged
that he might marry Lorilla Paddock. the
pretty daughter Of a rich farmer. While
in Jail he induced his daughter Jennie to
sign confession 10 the effect that she was
guilty Of the crime. Jennie afterward re-
pudiated the confession. On Saturday
McGhee stood searching cross-eIamina-
ton. The States Attorney then opened
for the prosecution. He was followed on
Monday BY the counsel for the defence.
Then the special counsel for the State
made the closing argument. During the
three past days the excitement has been
intense. People poured in from every di.
rection with horses and wagons. The
streets and sidewalks were thronged, and
hundreds camped out.
This morning the jury rendered a yer'
dict OF guilty, but fixed the punishment at
The lowest penalty for murder, fourteen
years imprisonment.
McGhee belonged to the sect known Is
christians" !" and was pastor Of church
az Ashton, H. He was remarkably litter
ate,

Hayes Secretary Of the Treasury, Mr..
sherman recently ordered that relatives
in lis department must he thinued out.
This is getting the Secretary in sweat,
or rather the attempt to enforce the
family removals. A few days ago this
order was put in practical operation by
The discharge OF q number OF clerks thus
ercumbered. In one instance, sister
was dropped who had been drawing 4
salary Of 81 100 TO let the brotherremain
at 81, 400 a year. 1t is further reported
from Washington that it will be found
difficult to make 4 clean sweep Of the
relatives, especially in some cases ofnlan
and wife. Clerks have married clerks
but the name Of the lady has not been
changed in the rolls. In fact the mar
riages have been kept secret for the sole
purpose Of keeping both the man and
wife in employment. The denunciation
Of Sherman because OF his own liability
10 the charge Of relatives in Office grows
more severe with the removals now be-
ing made. Il seems that it was no. the
Secretary who denied the relationship
with the collector no Des MoiIes, bu: an
assistant secretary did it for him, and
hence got the Secretary into hot water.
II is now said that in addition 10 the rela-
tiyes ofthe Secretary in Office who have
been mentioned is niece in the Interior
Department.

tIr. Til5en, to-day, is more highly
honored and resrected by the American
people than Hayes. They greet him,
wherever he appears, as the elected
President the choice Of The people, while
Hayes is allowed 10 pass almost unnotic-
cd except by a few post-masters and
custom house officials. This the SKI
President experienced in his visits to
Philadelphia and NeE York, recently.
Wherever Tilden appears, the people, II
al parties, turn oCg, enmGss, TO do him
honor. At the departure Of Mr.. Hen
dricks for Europe last week, 4 great ova-
ton vas given him, and Mr.. Tilden was
there and made 4 speech, which will b.
found in another column. They are the
words ofatrue American patriot. and will
burn ike pan Of hot Goals upon tie
head of Hayes. The Cincinnati Com
merciaPs special reports of this incident.
The first round ofcheers greeted Til
den's assertion that every body knows
that after the recent election the men
who were elected by the people Presi-
dent and Vice President of tie United
States we're counted OUT and the men
who were not elected were counted in
and seated" Then he aroused enthusi>
asm by saying: To every man Of the
four and quarter millions who were de-
frauded Of the fruits OF their electoral
franchise, it is as great wrong az it is 10
me, and no less TO every man Of the
minority will the ultimate consequences
extend.
After this each sentence was greeted
with cheers, which grew more and more
in intensity as the Governor grew more
earnest. He spoke with great earnest
ness and with marked emphasis, and
was listened to with breathless atten-
tion.
Not less hearty was the reception ac-
corded Governor Hendricks, who was
next introduced.
After the meeting in the parlors had
ended, and while the guests were partak-
ing OF a collation., a serenade was ten
dered the guests. When the band had
finished playing, there were loud calls
from the crowds on Fifth avenue for Til |
den and Hendricks.
Mr.. Tilden appeared on the steps ofl
the Club house, followed by Mr.. Hen.
bricks, and the cheering was so long sus-
tanned that the gentlemen were kept in |
waiting many minutes. Both Mr.. Til |
den and Mr.. Hendricks said few words |
to the throng, and were frequently in
terrupted by cheers.
The enthusiasm reached its climax
when gentleman jumped upon the iron
railing in front Of Governor Hendricks,
as that gentleman finished his remarks, !
and called for three old-time cheers for
Tilden and Hendricks. These were
given with a will, and after q speech
from Lieutenant Governor Dorsheimer,
the crowd slowly dispersed.
