General and Secretary.

It. is understood that the new Secretary
of War has been won over by Gen. Sher-
man to recognize the latter's ideas of the
rights and prerogatives of the general
army. Gen. Grant, when he was general
of the army, took the same view as had
been held by Gen. Scott, when that officer
was in command, that he was indepen-
dent of and not responsible to the Secre-
tary of War. Gen. Scott and Mr.. Davis,
who was then Secretary of War, had some
sharp correspondence on the subject. Gen.
Grant contended strenously for the same
view of the case, but after he became
President he did not care so much about
It. Gen. Sherman, 1t win be remembered,
left Washington and established army
Headquarters at st. Louis, because Presi-
dent Grant, Secretary of War insisted
upon regarding him as subordinate.
Afterwards, when Mr.. Hayes came in, his
two Secretaries of War were not inclined
to make much fuss about it, and Gen.
Sherman came back to Washington and
had everything his own way. When Mr..
Lincoln was appointed Secretary of War,
as his appointment was due in great
measure to the influence OF Senator Logan,
and as that Senator has always been OPP
posed to regular army ideas and assump-
tons, it was thought likely that Gen.
Sherman would have to take back seat
again. But 1t seems that such has not
been the case. Gen. Sherman, 1t Is said
was the War Department, just as Admiral
Porter, who had to stand aside while Mr..
Thompson was Secretary of the Navy, is
again potential in the Navy Department.

Bicksler Found Not Guilty of Pass
ing Counterfeit Money.

The Criminal Court took up no other
cases to-day than the charge against Thos.
j. Bicksler for passing counterfeit coin.
The testimony was considered to show no
proof that Bicksler had passed counter
feit coin, although sufficient evidence of
his having, keeping and concealing bogus
money was given.
This afternoon the jury retired and re-
turned verdict of not guilty with few
minutes delay, holding that Bicksler was
not proved to have made or passed the
coin. He will be tried tomorrow on an
Indictment for having III his possession
counterfeit coins.
The defendant In these cases Is a tall
slim old man, with gray hair and long
gray beard, his features are sharp and
clear and he has piercing bright eyes, in
everyway he looks capable of clear, sharp,
keen practise and good planning but has
an appearance of responsibility hardly
to be expected. The woman Alice Ruff
alias Alice Westcott alias Alice Gheen,
and who It is thought by some is still
under fourth alias will also be tried to-
morrow If possible for circulating the
coin. The third OF this counterfeiting
trio Emma Baker appears as witness
against the other two. The cases will
probably attract great interest among the
persons who have heard SO much of the
numerous swindles committed by these
two women, and the circumstance that
Bicksler is supposed to have attempted
poisoning Emma Baker to prevent her
from testifying, increases the appearance
or possibility of startling revelations.

together with desire to shuttle of
this mortal COIL" deliberately tried
to commit suicide by drowning on
Fridy last, but was pulled. from the
water before his purposes were &C
complised. He went about it in this
wise: Visiting the upper wharf in
the Second Ward, he walked down
10 the foot of it, and seated himself.
He then tied his feet together with q
small cord, the end OF which he fas-
tened to rope around the wharf.
He offered 4 colored man, who at the
time was washing buggy on the
wharf, half dollar to go to the top
of wharf, which was refused him.
He then jumped into the water, and
but for the timely assistance of lit
tie negro boy, who happened to be
close at hand, would have drowned.
When taken from the water he was
stiff with cold and totally uncon-
scious. A note was found in one Of
his socks, asking that his body be
properly cared for. This is the first
instance of the kind OH record in this
Parish. To use the words of an old
woman whom we happened to over
hear on Sunday, che wanted to go,
but the Lord didn't want him."
