HARRISBURG, Pa, Dec. pa Washington
correspondent of New York paper tele-
graphed yesterday that Col. Thos. B. Weir,
one of the officers commanding company
under Major Reno on the day of the disaster
to Custer, had declared before his death last
December that he was in full view of the
tight when he was sent out to
reconnoiter during the action, and that he
reported to Reno and said that help would
be given their comrades. The dying officer
is said also to have asserted that Reno f1atly
refused to make the movement as urged, and
was openly accused at the time of cowardice
by his own officers. Col. Weir's statement
alleges that when he moved out with his
company sound Of firing from the Custer
column was distinctly heard by the whole
command, and that point from which he OBJ
tanned view of the battle was not more
than mile and half from where Renos
command lay.
This sworn statement was placed before
Col. Welr's death in the hands of we'll
known New York ex-officer of volunteers.

ographer of the late Gen. Custer, and who
solemnly promised Col. Weir not to rest I'M
til the matter was officially investigated, and
not to let the contents of the statement be.
come publicly known until an investigation
was ordered.
Major Reno, who is here, in card says the
publication of the SANDER on him is an evil
dent attempt to manufacture public opinion
in regard to the Little Big Horn battle in
view of an official investigation, the court
for which is to convene in Chicago soon.
He concludes as follows: 81 pronounce
every statement published as eminating
from Col. Weir, to be absolutely false and
shall so prove to tie court of inquiry
Major Reno expresses great confidence in
his ability to explode all charges of coward
ice and other misconduct

Especial Telegram to the Globe.I
WASHINGTON, Dec 29.-The pressure upon
Senator Thurman to be candidate of the
Democrats for Governor of Ohio next veal
IS increasing. but his decision is positive not
to take the risk. Prominent Democrats
here say that Ohio is a Republican State and
the fact may as we'll be recognized that fol-
Senator Thurman to make this single hand.
ed contest would be to invite defeat by lead
ing Republicans to concentrate ali thei,
forces there and make victory certain.
Some of Mr.. Thurman's friends profess
to think that il he were to be the Demo.
cratic candidate for Governor, Secretary
Sherman would resign his present place and
become the Republican candidate for this
position. They say that with the close Of
the term of the present administration Sec
rotary Sherman will have no political future
unless, meanwhile, he pre-empts for himself
place that in making the Ohio race he has
everything to gain and nothing to lose that
If he successfully leads the ticket
ne can easily persuade the legislature tc
send him to the Senate in 1880; that in such
canvass he has three very important con.
siderations: first, the Governorship; second
the Senatorship, and to which the former
would be the stepping stone, and third, the
Presidency itself.

Further Particulars.

New York Special Chicago Tribunsl
Mr.. Vanderbilt has been working
toward this consummation for nearly two
years, and made two trips to Europe to see
what arrangements could be made for YES
sells. Several causes delayed the movement
progress, the chief cause being the slow ad-
vancement of suit to determine whether the
Central company had right to make wharf
age for itself at its elevator at Sixty-ffth
street and North river. The decision just
rendered allows the wharfage to the company,
and thus renders it possible to load the
steamships direct from tn, elevator. The
vessels were secured for Mr.. Vanderbilt by
John O. Seager, ship broker of this city,
formerly one of New York's largest
grain dealers, who was ruined by the Chicago
lire. He went to Newcastle on Tyne and
succeeded in making terms with builders and
owners there for as many vessels as might be
required. Fourteen are now on their way to
this port. They are iron-screw freight
steamships of 1000 tons burden, each all
new and warranted. They will carry no
passengers. The ports made will be Liver
pool, Havre, Hamburg, Antwerp, and any
other that there is sufficient freight to load a
vessel for. The Zanzibar will sail for
Antwerp Jan. 8, the Lottie and Nellie
for Hamburg Jan. IL and 10 re-
spectively, the Cosmopolitan for Havre Jan.
-; and for Liverpool Grips to begin Jan.
9 are detailed the Elephinstone, Langshaw,
Amelia, Scraps, Woodbine, Stratharly,
Helios, Elbros, Ganos, and Jeranos. This
will be the finest feet of freight steamers on
the water, and will enable Mr.. Vanderbilt to
lrpaot 10 fhrn -l:-
| at his pleasure. The terms of the contract
as to the percentage paid vessel owners
could not be ascertained. The Union line
IL believed to settle the question as to New
York's commercial supremacy, which has
been threatened through lack of terminal ia
cilities. Every attempt failing to get terminal
facilities, Mr. Vanderbilt has taken the mat
ter in his own hands. Now he can com pete
successfully with Baltimore, Philadelphia,
and Boston, and can even cut under them
all, if he chooses.

The Arn,y Bill.
VIEWS OF GEN. SHERMAN.
Especial Telegram to the Globe. /,

Especial Telegram to the Globe
WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-Gen. Sherman in
an interview gives some interesting facts of
the inside history of the commission on re-
organization OF the army. He says that at
the outset of their work in June, 1878, the
committee called on him, as also on many
officers and citizens, who had made army or
ganlzat1on and administration a study, and
each submitted in writing his special views,
which were reserved by the committe
and will in due time be printed.
He says that the committee had
evidently given the whole subject much
study, and whether the bill becomes law or
not, it forms well digested system of army
administration. Gen. Sherman expressed
himself as wellipleased, because in the first
place the commission had assumed twenty
hve thousand men as the least number re-
CURED to fulfill the purpose Of national
oetense, and although these men were
grouped into regiments, each of three batal-
lions, differing somewhat from his prefer
ence, it was done in such manner
as to admit of an easy increase
TO any standard likely to occur in the near
future. The bill is regarded as liberal in it's
provisions for retiring the Oldest and most
meritorious officers who have devoted their
lives to the country, and is chiefly valuable
because for the first time in the legislation
OF the country it defines clearly and logical
~ the functions of administration and com
mand which have been the cases of more
confusion. mistakes and heert-burnines in
our military establishment luan any other
single case.
GEN. soHAfrER
mas just written letter to Gen. Sherman re-
gardlng the army bill In which he says:
'Ihis is the whole question in nut she'll:
Shall due subordination be enforced
throughout the army, or shall every chief of
stan In Washington have separate com
mand and that extending even within the
limits of the co amand of divisions and de-

TO create or perpetuate factious distinctions
between the military authority of the Presi-
dent and that of the secretary of war, and
thus to Torment discord between the war de.

by the strong hand of Congress, and this IS
what understand to be the purpose and

three of the proposed law.
