THE ARMY.

CHICAGO, Feb. 13.-The subject of COM
pulsory retirement which has been brought
before Congress by Butterworth's bill is
being agitated among the military men in
the West. From recent letters received
here from army officers and from converse
ton with several of those stationed here,
it is learned that there is an almost unani-
nous desire in the army to have bill pass
retiring all officers from active service who
have attained the age Of SO. 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 a petit
ton recently forwarded to Washington
urging the passage of the bill contained
400 names of military men, many of them
being men who would, il the bill passed,
be retired at once or in a few years. The
arguments adduced in favor of the bill are
many, but the chief ones are that by max
ing retirement mandatory, instead of dis
cretionary, 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; Gener-
ais Sherman, Mcdowell, Rucker and Barnes.
Colonels ingalls,, Eakin, Cuyler, King, Ben
ham, Macomb, Thorn, Getty, Hunt, Dent.
Brenham aud King; Lieutenant Colonels,
Simons and Keeney, Majors Potter, We'd
der, Brooks, Clark, Smith, L. G. H., and
Broadhead, twenty-five IN all.

ADRIAN BONDS.

New York parties with whom he negotiat-
ed the bonds The belief is strengthened
by the activity displayed by the New York
parties TO fad property on which to levy.
It was discovered to-day that Navin had

whether the entries made upon the land
