THE ARMY.
Report of General Sheridan,

Report Of General Sheridan
CHICAGO Nov. 9.-Gen. Sheridan's annual
report to the General of~ the Army sets forth
that there are in Dakota 1850 officers and men,
in the Platte 2840, in Missouri 4720, and in
Texas 3640. He considers the force entirely
inadequate to the great territory and numerous
demands upon the army from the Northern
and Southern borders. The ratio is about one
man to every rs square miles, and in Texas
one man to every 125 square miles. The
result is the troops are frequently overworked
and often compelled to take the field against
superior numbers. The officers and men are
equal in intelligence, activity and devotion to
duty to any army in the world, and no army
of its size accomplishes one-thlrd as much
hard work from one years end to another.
He refers to the rapidity with which emigrants
are taking up land in the far West, and calls
attention to the recommendations of Gen.
Pope that permanent posts be established in
lieu oft he present costly and insufficient small
posts. He says the railroad companies are
the strongest allies of the military in the
West, and shows what wonders of enterprise
are being accomplished by those vigorous cor

October, was the largest known in the history

David Davis,

CHICAGO, Aug. 9.-The Times
this morning publishes a letter from
senator David Davis to a gentleman
in Washington, in which Judge
Davis says: "The training and hab-
its of my life naturally lead me to
prefer civilians to soldiers for great
civil trust, but, as parties are organ
lied, voters must choose between
candidates they present, or must
stand aloof, Indifferent or neutral,
which no good citizen ought TO do
at a presidential election. l have no
hesitation in supporting Hancock,
for best of all reasons to my mind,
because his election will put an end
to sectional strife and sectional par
ties, and will revive patriotic senti-
ment all over the land, which polit-
ical leaders and factions, for sinister
ends, have sought to prevent. There
can be no permanent prosperity
without pacification. Great IS were
tine achievements of Gen. Hancock,
it was his conduct in peace, when in
command of Louisiana and Texas,
in 1867, that still greater and justly
commends him to the confidence of
the country"

count by millions, and Garfield
walks about, head and tail up, with
So, 900 in his pocket. But alasl sin
vestigation" tracks him; he comes
before the investigating committee,
and, completely cornered as he was,
he tried to make out that it was a
professional fee as attorney for the
paving company. There was no
professional business done for it; he
admits that he offered no brief either
to the paving committee of Wash
ington or to any other recognized
body. What was wanted was not
law business, but a recommendation
of the pavement, which it required
q mechanic rather than a lawyer to
make. In fact, Garfield himself
admits that all he did for his S., 900
was to talk to Boss Shepherd about
the pavement, and in addition
Though he does not admit that) he
recommended Incorporation and
got it for them, and on the part of
the company the 5000 was well in
vested.
But all these transactions were
peddling petty larceny compared
with the theft of the presidency.
These were bad enough; they were
part of system by which wealthy
corporations were enabled to make
enormous profits at the expense of
the nation by the eonnivance of
congressman and cabinet officers
method by which the machine was
rendered profitable to those who
worked it, besides furnishing cam
paign funds for presidential cleo
tons, as will soon be made clear
when Mcdonald publishes his rec
ords of the whisky frauds.
But in 1876 it was necessary to
steal not money but the presidency.
1t will require a separate paper to
give the details of the nefarious
transaction by which this was done
under the chief management OF
Sherman and Garfield, Our readers
must wait for them; they will soon
be given in detail. Enough has
been related to show what the sys-
tenn was and what the man, that
the system required just such man
and the man exactly fitted the sys-
tenn; that, in short, such system
and such men are inseparable; the
one cannot go on without the other,
and the nomination of such man
must be taken as evidence that the
system is to go on and to be worked
out to its utmost capacity, if only
the men can be continued in power,
Don't talk to US, then, of person
alities; the system cannot be at
tackled without attacking the men ;
the system and the men are one and
must stand or fall together. The
men must be expelled from the
high trusts which they have SO
shamefully abused, or the system
will go on until it devours all that
is left of our once republican gov
eminent.
