General sherman,s Report.

We extract the following from the
annual army report of General Sher-
man to the Secretary of War:
"The IL generals, 1859 officers, q, $50 men
and 233 Indian scouts, together with such
officers of the staff as are assigned by the War
Department with the troops, constitute the
army proper, or the 'combative force.' All
other parts of the military establishment are
provided by law for special service, more or
less connected with the army or militia, but
are not available for frontier defenses. Thus,
for instance, the 397 enlisted men of the Ord
nance Corps are in fact workmen at the arse
mails. The 1872 men of the Engineer Corps
are at Willet's Point undergoing instruction in
torpedo practice, and are not subject to the
division commander. The 456 men OF the
Signal Corps are employed in observing the
weather or in working teIegraphs. The ia
Ordnance Sergeants have charge of old forts
or fixed magazines. The Isl Commissary
Sergeants are in charge of stores 1877 men are
stewards of hospitals. The West Point detach-
ment, 1856 in number, is localized at the Mill
tary Academy. The prison guard at Fort
Leavenworth comprises seventy men, and re-
cruiting detachments absorb LILO men at
Davis Island, Columbus, Ohio, and Jefferson
Barracks, Mo. These various detachments,
a%ggregating 3,463 enlisted men of highest
grades, compose about one-sixth part of the
enlisted men provided for by law for the whole
army, leaving but 20, 799 for actual service.
I" mention these figures in some detail, be,
cause I know that it is the popular belief that
is shared by many members Of Congress that
we have Is, 900 men on duty. I have done all
in my power to reduce these detachments tc
the lowest number possible, so as to afford more
men to our skeleton companies, but have found
it impossible, and l notice that similar
detachments are reported on all army
returns for fifty years back. There are 43t
companies in the regular army $4,000 mer

Thanksgiving Day.
The following proclamation has bee
issued by President Hayes:

The following proclamation has been
issued by President Hayes:
DAT no recurrence Of the season which the
devout habit of religious people has made the
occasion for giving thanks to the Almighty God
and humbly invoking His continued favor, has
the material prosperity enjoyed by our whole
country been more conspicuous, more manifold,
or more universal. During the past year, also,
unbroken peace with all foreign Nations, the
general prevalence of domestic tranquility, and
the supremacy and security of the great insti-
buttons of civil and religious freedom, have
g~laddened the hearts OF our people and con-
6rmed their attachment to their Government,
which the wisdom and courage of our ancestors
80 fifty formed and the wisdom and courage of
their descendants have SO firmly maintained, to
be the habitation of liberty and justice to sue
~cessive generations.
Now, therefore, I, Rutherford B. Hayes,
President Of the United States do appoint
Thursday, the 9th day of November, instant,
as the day of National thanksgiving and prayer,
and / earnestly recommend that, withdrawing
themselves from secular cares and lahors, the
people of the United States do meet together OF
that day in their respective places of worship,
there to give thanks and praise to Almighty
God for His mercies and to devoutly beseech
their continuance.
In witness whereof, 1 have hereunto set my
hand and caused the seal of the United State:
TO be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington
l'AA this Sd day of November, in the
year of our Lord 1879, and of the Indepen-
dence of the United States the one hundred and
fourth.

Of State.

mere nIafter or Rusine...

In Elliott County, Kentucky, the fol-
lowing notice has been served on the
Judge of the Circuit Court:
"Behold, we come again | Not with fire and
blood in our tracks, but we CONT to this Court
as supplicants at the throne of mercy, begging
and pleading that they will not continue any of
the cases of felony that are on the docket, or
that may come to it during this term, on mere
legal technicalities, but give them what the
law provides, viz. a speedy trial. Bear this in
mind The country, justice and God demand IL,
and we, as a band Of over 1000 in three coun-
ties, says that we will give it to them in
three days after this court adjourns, if you
don't. We don't want to threaten this court
or any part of it, because they are perfectly
safe so far as we are concerned, but we want
the thieves, robbers, houseburners, and men
who slay their wives and are SO handy with
pistols to distinctly understand that we mean
business. We don't like to do this it is no
pleasure to us, but a stern, hard duty that we
can perform, if necessary, and all such men
aforesaid had better be tried here; for If we
have to call a special term of our court, woe be
unto you, for death is your portion. Remem-

would give Hfty-eight TO each, which is as
small as any company should be, and I earn
estly recommend that you ask Congress to SO
~legislate that the twenty-five thousand men
provided by law may be allowed exclusively
for regiments of the line, and that special pro-
vision be made for these several detachments,
as has already been done for the Signal
Service. The army can not, with just
ice, be held responsible for the work
of twenty-five thousand, when SO large
q fraction is necessarily diverted to other
uses, perhaps of equal National Importance.
The table above referred to show that the grand
aggregate of the army roll is 2,187 officers
and "a, 1852 men in s%evice, and 1888 officers re-
tired.
General Sherman devotes a large portion
of his report to the Ute troubles. He intro
duces the subject with a history of the tribes.
These Indians he says, { are of the wors
class, and occupy the toughest part Of our
country for farming, grazing, or for military
operation. Their management is complicated
by the fact that their country is known to
possess mineral deposits, which attracts a bold
and adventurous class of white men. They are
very warlike and have no difficulty in procur-
ing in exchange for their deer skins, horses
and sheep, any amount of the best rifles and
ammunition. As long as game lasts they will
not work or attempt farming except in the
smallest and NEST ridiculous way, and that only
by compulsion."

body was placed in a magnificent casket,
upon which was inscribed in solid silver,
"Zachariah Chandler, born December 10

Mexican Troubles.

Mexico could rot be happy without
some sort of a revolution going on
within her. The following telegram
from San Francisco shows the political
status in that unhappy country just at
the present time: By parties who pro-
fess to be inside of the movement in this
city, it is asserted that a very large pro-
portion of the population of Mexico are
dissatisfied with the government of
Diaz, that this dissatisfaction has taken
the shape of an organized revolutionary
government, which includes many of
the most distinguished Mexican soldiers
and politicians, and that the outbreak,
which will involve several of the most
important Mexican States, is imminent.
The agent of the Government of the
Restoratio Of the Republic Of Mexico,
of which General Angel Maria Carrillo
de Albannos, is President, is in this city,
endeavoring to negotiate for material
aid to further their schemes for the
overthrow of Diaz, as President of
Mexico. The agent invites capitalists,
who are now considering the schemes
to supply the revolutionary government
with certain arms and military supplies,
in return for which they are to be
granted:
First-Authority to organize a Ma
lional Bank of Mexico, the notes of
which are to te legal tender for all debts,
public and private, and to be receivable
in payment for public lands at the rate
of a dollar per acre, all the public lands
of Mexico to be set apart for this pur.
pose.
81 con6-Ffanchises for railways and
telegraphs throughout Mexico, and sub
sides in bonds and matured bank notes
sufficient for their construction.
Third-The abolition of all duties Oh
importations of goods from the United
States into Mexico by land. The rights
of immigrants are guaranteed; location
and service in the Mexican army fol
a stated period is to be RENTED, and re
ligious liberation is to be assured.

The workmen in the Chicago slaugh-
tering houses have demanded an ad-
vanse on wages of IS per cent. Several
establishments have refused to yield
and discharged all their men, while
others, who have yielded, are discharg-
ing as fast as practicable. The pork
packers held a meeting, and resolved to
keep up the discha-ging process until
the present force was reduced 1000
men. In an interview upon the subject,
one of the heavy packers said: 1--WE
packers don't object to giving an ad-
vance in wages, but we don't intend to
b, run by our workmen. We volunta-
rly advance the pay for skilled labor.
Before We would submit to the arbitrary
demands of u men, we will cease
operations and allow our houses to 60
to rot. We will not buy a single hog
to-day. This will cripple, even if it
does not blot out, the leading industry
of the city, throwing out Of employ
ment fully $1,000 men, including stock
yard men, railroad men, box-makers,
etc. The packers are working very
quietly, but very determinedly and very
unitedly. Unless the prospect brlghtens,
we will cut up the hogs we have on
hand, and then, probably, cease opera
tionD."

A correspondent of the Detroit Free
Press, who is lurking in the Underwood
country in Kentucky, says that there is
now in that ne;ghborhood three men
name Underwood, relatives of the I'M
fortunate family who have been killed,
who hail from the West, and that their
purpose there is to ayenge the murder
of Jesse Underwood. In other words,
il is their purpose to clean out" the
Holbrook family, who have for 70 long
a time been a terror to that community.

rrlehtrul plunge OF Train.

Owing to the railroad drawbridge be-
ing left open Of the New York and
Greenwood Lake Railroad over Hack
eusack River, near H~ackensack, NJ,
a few days ago, a local passenger train
consisting of an engine aud coach took
a frightful plunge into the river. The
train was moving at a speed of fifteen
miles an hour. The engineer observing
that a catastrophe could not be averted,
jumped from his engine and was in
stantly killed. One OF the brakemen
was seriously injured and also two or
three OF the passengers. The car be.
came detached from the engine and
foated off with the current, while boats
pulled alongside and rescued the passen-
gers from the car windows.

All Away to Rest.

The late General Joe Hooker who died
r. cently at his home at Garden City,
L. l., has been removed to Cincinnati,
his former home and where his friends
live. and placed in a vault in the beauti-
full cemetery of Spring Grove. Cincin-
natl, in a measure, suspended business
for the day, and paid tribute to the
dead by the most imposing ceremonies.
Flags were placed at half mast on the
public buildings and during the time
occupied by the long procession as it
marched through the principal streets
and out to the cemetery, the bells were
kept tolling. And another life is shut
out forever.

An Affectionate Bird.

bad enough for an asylum. Wherever
the old man went the gander would 60,

deemed expedient. The poor bird,
however, persisted once too often, and

The Nerve. a. . source or Trial.

Instead of being q vehicle for agreeable SEN

usually be found, are dyspeptic, lack vitality
and flesh. What they need is more yigor.
There is a means of obtaining it, if they will
but avail themselves of that means. It is

has shown to be Of the utmost service to the
dibilitated, nervous and d~yspeptic. Diges-
ton restored upon q permanent basis by the
Bitters, ministers as it should to the wants Of
the system, and its integral parts, of which
the nerves are one of the most important, are
properly nourished and invigorated. The var
ious functions are thus more actively dis
charged, and obstacles to return to health re-
moved by increasing vitality. Instead. of

Democratic defeats this year seem to
follow upon the heels of each other.
Why this should be true, there is, of
course, a variety of opinions. By way
of generalizing, it may be said that the
complaints offered by the several Dem
ocratic State Committees are to the
effect that the party failed to preserve
harmony and unity. Of some States
this fact is patent, as instance New
York, q State universally Democratic,
buG owing to a disruption in the party
ranks it has for the first time in many
years lost its Gubernatorial Office.
NEW YORK,
Cornell, the Republican candidate
for Governor, has been elected ver
Kelly, the Tammany candidate, and
Robinson, the anti Tammany candidate,
by a majority of between rs. 600, and
$4,000. In the city of New York the
vote in round figures was as follows:
Kelly, $4,000; Robinson, $4,000; Cor
nell, $4,000. The Anti-Tammapy
County ticket has pulled through in the
city by a bare majority, if elected atall.
AS to the Democratic State ticket it is
probably elected, but the Legislature
will be Republican. 1t will stand per-
haps as follows: Senate, Republican, 26
to 6; General Assembly, Republican,
128 to "a. The excitement in the city
of New York was said to have been very
great, and more scratching was perhaps
done than was eve known at any for
mer election in that city.
,fIccI CurcrTrc
Butler has been smitten by his former
friends, the Republicans, Long, the
Republican nominee, being elected by q
majority that will probably reach 1900.
In Boston, however, Butler gains about
a thousand votes over last year. In
other towns he has MADE some gains, but
the total vote is crushingly against him.
The vote for Adams, the straight
Democrat, was a small one, not exceed.
ing Abbott's vote for last year. This is
owing to the fact that Butler drew the
greater amount of his support from the
Democratic party.
