Washington special: The announce
ment comes, with all the solemnity of
an official proclamation, that Samuel
j. Tilden will press his claims for the
next Democratic nomination for the
Presidency. This will deeply interest
the men who set up and knock down
candidates, in their minds, but it will
not produce a sensation. If Tilden
should be hale and hearty twenty
years hence, there will be an element
large enough to attract attention, al
ways ready TO declare that the Lord
and the Democratic party should use
him to rebuke the wrong of 1876 z.
Tilden is not a sensation. He is o fix
ture, and only needs to be started into
action once every four years. General
Steedman has touched the spring for
1884. There is more than passing
preference in Steedman's recent dec
laration for the candidate Of 1876;
there is more in it than the fact that
a young scion of "0ld Chickamauga"
has been named in honor of the Sage
Of ramercy and Granger Of Greystone.
1t has been looked upon as a remark
able fact that Steedman could obtain
an interview from Tilden when
nobody else could. 1t may
be regarded as settled that
these ancient Democrats understand
each other, and when there is any talk
ing in public i. is by authority. There
are combinations here which are con-
vincing past a doubt. Tilden has
commenced the personal work of the
campaign of 1884, and is now looking
for some man to be associated with
him on the Democratic ticket. His
method luay not be the same as those
adopted in 1876, but he has lost none
of his cunning and ability to direct
men and means, and is still especially
we'll provided with means. The years
of1ilden are not as many as the people
generally suppose. The sarcasms of
the enemy have piled imaginary frosts
on his head and put lettering legs
under him. Physically he is probably
a stronger man than a prominent Re-
publican candidate who is fifteen or
twenty years younger han he is; and
intellectually-well. he cen close one
eye significantly and look with the
other as far ahead into a political cam
paign as he aver could. He is not
less ambitious than he was six years
ago, and he knows that there is an
army of Democrats still devoted to him.
He is steady ON his legs, clear in his
head and penetrating in the lowly
voice which whispers hopes of success
in 1884 to those who enjoy his conf
dence, or to those he may trust
to fttingly convey his sometime conf
dences to the public. Having due no.
tiee from the veteran victim Of fraud,
other Democratic candidates will gov
ern themselves accordingly.

COMPULSORY RETIREMENT.
what Army Officers Say on the Subject
Who Would Be Affected by It.

CuIcAGo, February l3.-1he subject OF
compulsory retirement, which has been
brought before Congress by Mr.. Butter
worth's bill, is being agitatsd among the
military men in the West. From recent
letters received here, from army officers,
and conversation with several OF those
stationed here, it is learned that there is
almost a unanimous desire in the army TO
have bill passed retiring all officers from
active service who have attained the age OF
62. This feeling is not confined to the
Younger men in the ranks, who will benefit
by the law, but is entertained by the older
ones, and petition recently forwarded to
Washington urging the passage Of the bill,
contained ,40V names Of military meA,
many of them being men who would, if the
bill passed, be retired at once or in few
years.
The arguments adduced in favor OF the
bill are many, but the chief ones are that
by making retirement mandatory instead
OF discretionary, all would be treated alike.
There would be no chance for favoritism or
political prejudice The officers would
know lust what to look forward to instead
of being in constant uncertainty, and the
army would stand on the same ground as
the navy in the matter. An examination
OF the army register shows that under this
law the following would be retired: Gen.
erals Sherman, Mcdowell, Rucker and
Barnes; Cofonels ingalls,, Eakin, Cuylor
King Benham, Macomb. Thorne, Getty,
Hunt. Dent, Brenham and King; Lieuten-
ant Colonies, Simons and Keeney: Majors,
Potter, Vedder, Brooks, Clark, Smith, Tch
and Broadhead, twenty-five in all.
