Retiring the Old FeII0tcs.
Army and Navy Journal. |

Officers of the army will be pleased to
learn that Gen. Meigs has come out fiat
footed in favor of compulsory retirement
The general has written letter to the score.
tary of state-or rather to the gentleman
who was secretary of state few wears
since-in which he gives Tthe secretary and
President some wholesome advice as to mat.
ters pertaining to the army. He tells the
secretary that the army is incumbered with
a lot of old gentlemen-over so wears OF
age-who are very much in the way of the
efficiency of the army, and the only wav 10
get rid of them is to retire them and let
their places be filled by younger men.
etc.
1t is true that this letter was written to Mr..
Seward in April, 1861, or thereabouts, !: but
we must take it for granted that the general
is of the same opinion still.
This letter will be printed in the first vol
ume of the "Rebellion Record which we
will be able tc peruse in few weeks.
But it must not be considered that all the
general officers or the chiefs of bureaus are
of Gen. Meigs' way of thinking, for we have
before us a letter supposed to be written by
Gen. Marcy, in which opinions quite to the
contrary are expressed. The difference Of
years, but that makes but little difference.
as the opinions of men of sound Judgment
do not change after they arrive at the age of
30-at least so Bulwer said, and he ia an.
thority.
Now that this subject of army retirements
is so frequently brought to public notice, it
is not little amusing to note the inoonsist-
encies between the opinions entertained
when they were Young and those now enter
tanned by them, when they have reached the
age for retirement.
The opinion of these officers when thew
were in their physical and mental prime that
the army is incumbered with lot of old
gentlemen over 60 years of age, and that
these are very much in the way OF the eff
cheney of the army, should be accepted by
The President now and relieve him of any
embarrassment in making retirements.

City Hail Conference Yesterday

By appointment Mayor Dawson and City
Attorney Murray had conference yester-
day with Rev. Samuel G.. Smith, MIR. D. r.
Noyes, and other citizens, the subjects of
which are not authoritativeiy stated, but are
well understood to have been regarding the
best means of enforcing decent respect for
the Christian Sabbath in st. Paul and of re.
ducing if not extirpating the "social evil 50
1t is also understood that the mayor and
city attorney expressed their readiness to
undertake the full enforcement of existing
laws whenever they were satisfied of their
power to enforce them-their objections TO
doing more than they have done, if any,
being, that public opinion, on which the en-
forcement Of such laws largely depends,
would not be in favor of their rigid appli-
cation. The citizen conferees are said to
represent an organization which proposes to
institute prosecutions, if necessary, and q
lively winter campaign may, accordingly be
expected.

SoMs idiots have proposed that the DEM
ocrats in the House should form coalition
with the Greenbackers with the purpose of
retaining control of that body for the two
years ensuing. Such plan is impractica-
bic in the first place for the reason that
the Greenbackers do not bold the balance OF
power. In the next place all the honorable
Democrats would repudiate an alliance with
q lot of political adventurers who have in the
past proved recreant to all the pledges they
have ever made. Such an alliance would in
no way benefit the Dem ocracy.

Tie Notorious n. II. Finley GiUes Him a
Little Puf-Also Touch For BtI KING.
Gath in Cincinnati Enquirer.
l met Finley, of Minnesota, yesterday, for
meriy MIR. Tilden's confidential man in the
campaign of 1876. Although he has some
belittlers, he is On observing fellow of con-
siderable experience. asked him if there
was any Republican from the Northwest IL
able to 60 into the Cabinet of Garfield.
''Yes; Billy Window, of Minnesota. He
has four years yet 70 serve in the Senate, bat
there Is big pressure from behind for pub
lie honors in Minnesota, and Window would
strengthen himself by making room for one
more in the Senate and in the cabinet he
could distribute his favors throughout Iowa,
Wisconsin, Minnesota. Nebraska and Kan
ses, so as to increase his prominence to the
Presidency"
"He really wants to be President, then?'
"Oh, yes; he has got it bad. Window has
been very lncky fellow. but he may regard
his luck as ability. There is good opening,
however, for Presidential candidate in the
Northwestern States which are solidly Re-
publican. My impression is that MIR. Gar
field will have to make his administration
more Western than Eastern. He is better
appreciated better known in the Far West
than east of the mountains. The Western
States will give him the cordial support they
gave Lincoln, while in the East there will be
wirepuliers working for the succession.
Therefore, I look to see the cabinet made up
of Western men in the majority "a
'Is Bill King, Mr.. Finley, very useful
man to Windom?"
"No, don't think any such loud, reck-
less, rapacious fellow as King is of much use
to public man, or of much influence in 8
community. King made great deal of
money III the lobby on the Northern Pacific
railroad, and in various schemes. Window,
made most of his money on the Northern
Pacific railroad, and got out in time. King
had at one time the finest herd of blooded
cattle in the world. l suppose they cost him
about 100000. He had to go through
a clean-fingered little fat man, with face
of the digni6ed, bsnignant order.''
