TIE RIGHTS or A NEWSPAPER CAR
RIER-Tne Philadelphia TuReS says The suit
Of Henry Hathaway, an eN- carrier OF the
Record, against VIM. j. Swain, the late pro-
Irietor of that paper. had a sudden termIna-
ton on Tuesday last. Hathaway served
the kscOgd, and because 10 was ascerta ned
that lie served Others papers his route was
taken. Before the present legal contest was
begun he brought suit 10 recover the value
of the route and other damages for its 10 oss.
The case was tried and he obtained a verdict
fer nearly ss0o against Mr.. Swain. For some
legal reason that verdict was set aside and n
new trial ordered. But the victor now IL Mr..
Swain. Judge Briggs, after hearing al the
evidence In Haihaway's behalf, decided that
tie testimony did not warrant the suomis-
sion OF the case 10 the jury, as the car
rier had not made out a good claim.
IL appears that the latter had testified that
IL was a rule of the Record that ite
carriers should not serve the ledger. He ad-
mitted that he had violated the rule, and he
understood that his route was taken from him
for that resSon. The Judge, when dismissing
the case, remarked that the carriers of news
paIers, SO far as the evidence showed, do
not have an absolute property In their routes,
but simply license TO distribute the papers
over a certain district ssThe license" he
continued, "may be revoked al any time
when the carrier disobeys any OF the rules
cf the ests blishment from which he gets his
papers. A point has arisen in this case as TO
certainly can sell IL, but he cannot force the
publisher 10 furnish papers TO the purchaser
for II that were so the interests of the journal
might suffer by the falling of its subscrip-
uon lists Into the hands OF objectiona bic per-
Sons.v

A SENsELEss AND OFFENSIVE Custom.
why do theatrical managers permit the Or
ling part OF the play? Surely music is not
necessary to make the strong points of the
play apparent to an intelligent audience,
while ON the other hand music at such times
distracts the attention hich should be con
centrated upon the stage, and In most cases
prevents the udience from hearing what is
every one is most eager 10 hear what is said.
Why Will our better theaters persist in main
tanning the senseless and offensive custom OF
lnter!arding the performances with the tradi-
tiOnal "slOw music."- ". Y Post, 18th.

ANNUAL REPORT OF GEN, SHERMAN.
The general of the army has submitted his
report TO the Secretary of War. On the 18th
OF october the army was composed of 2i,5oI
officers and men, 20 .610 of these being avail
able for war, to which should be added the
IL general officers and the officers OF the gen
eral staff serving with them, together with
$40 Indian scouts for the convenience of army
administration. Gen. Sheridan's report says
that the Mexican border troubles aud the
Indian wars have Kept the small and iuade-
quate force in bis division in q constant state
of activity, and almost without rest, night
and day. The expense and great loss Of life
attending these operations have arisen prin-
cipally from being obliged TO use an made
Quate force If the companies had been filled
10 100 men each the additional expense would
lot have been SO great in the end, as with
companies ranging from 80 TO 10 men, and he
therefore recommends an increase of all the
companies in the service to 100 men each.
Gen. Sherman endorses Gen. Sheridans
views on the increase OF the army, but de-
spairing OF success in such an application to
Congress, recommends such legislation as
will give 25 600 men for the regiments of the
line, making for the present 430 companies,
with 5S men TO a company. He thinks that
the cavalry and Infantry ShOHld be on q par
but that the President should have the right
TO increase the companies stationed at ex.
posed points at Ii e loss OF the others not sim
ilarly situated.
In speaking of General Howard's cam
paigD, he recognizes the labor, exposure,
fatigue and fighting OF that general AMI MS
command, and says that IL Is simply impos-
sible for infantry, or even cavalry Wi
their single hOrst :, TO Overtake Ind ans, who
drive along herd, changing from a tired
horse 10 one comparatively fresh AZ pleasura,
Knowing the country as these Indians d.,
ready to hide in the many rocky canons,
ravines and dense woods in which that
country abOunds, and able with small rear
guard 10 hold at bay any mum her in pursuit,
who often for miles must follow trails in
single file. In regard to the captive Joseph
and his band, Gen. Sherman says the pri-
sOners "are now en- route, by the most eco
nomical way, TO Fort Leavenworth, to be
there held as prisoners OF war until spring,
when. i trust, the Indian bureau will pro-
vide them homes on the Indian reservation,
near the MCdocs, where by moderate labor
they can soon be able 10 support themselves
in peace. They should never again be al
lowed to return to Oregon
