Present indications are that Tilden will
be the nominee of the democratic party
for the presidency. Inquiries sent to four
hundred different points in the country by
the New York Times brought one hun
dred and twenty responses favorable to
Tilden, the other replies being divided be-
tween seventeen favorites, the highest of
which, McDonald received seventy-two.
1t is thought that if Tilden should state
his desire fora nomination seventy-fve per
cent Of the democracy would rally about
him and stand BY him to the last.

The ''Chief'' of last week contains an
article in which it is disposed to find
fault with somebody on account of a
lack of recognition of that locality by
the Republican conventions Of the past.
If this were true, it would give Just
ground for complaint, provided that sec
ton of the county had presented good
men for the positions and they had been
rejected because of their locality. We
think if the DIR. would look over the
ground carefully he would hardly know
what particular section to blame. Ev-
en- if his theory were true that his sec
ton had been Disseminated against.
The facts however are that Kirwin del
egaues have had their own way as often
as any part of the county, in the selee-
ton of officers. 1t is true that st the
time they were elected County Treasur.
ers both Thos. Cox Jr. and Frank Strain
were residents of Kirwin township, and
both received the support of Kirwin del.
egates. and have held the treasurer's
Office for eight out of eleven years, at
the end of which time another Kirwin
msn was a candidate for it, but
failed to get it. In the mean time two
Long Island men held the Office, each
one term, and BIr. Smith has been re-
elected, bat his second term does not
begin until next October.
The ofieeOf Probate Judge has had
but two eneumbents, J. S. Shurtz and
H. C. Spaulding. The former lived in

ed pay for a soldiers duty, no part Of
which, General Sherman says, is that Of
a farm laborer. He very properly asks
the government to allow the private the
wages for outside labor that are allowed
to the man the government should, or
might, employ for the purpose in case
the soldier was not required to do it.
There is reason and such justice in this
that there can be made to it no sufH-
Gent answer. To allow such pay will
enable thesoldier to lay by some money,
will secure the work in a better manner

OFFICIAL ORDER.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-The follow
ing order has been made:
1t appearing that certain persons have
been practicing systematic frauds on ex-
Union soldiers and their widows and or
phsns, or other heirs, by making false
representations concerning pension
claims, aud extorting Illegal fees for SER
vices pretended to have been done, or
promised to be rendered, and this de-
partment having reason to believe that
some postmasters have been aiding these
fraudulent claim agents by furnishing
them list of eX-Union soldiers and 9th
ers supposed to be entitled to pensions,
and also by distributing their unad-
dressed circulars among That class,
therefore postmasters are forbidden,
hereafter, to furnish such lists, or to
distribute any circulars OF the kind in
dictated, unless they are addressed to
some individual and are prepaid as re-
quired by law.

oENERAL sHERMAN.s ADVICE.
Secretary.

General Sherman. on retiring from the
command Of the army, in very earnest
language protested against our present
system of working the soldiery. While
be insists that the army is better condi-
toned than at any time since 1876, yet
It is fAet that has long been apparent
that the character of the private enlist
2sntS hiss been deter0rat ng. The class
Of men we desire do not take to regular
army life with avidity- One of the
qhisf causes. among several others, is
that st the distant posts the men are
compelled 70 do aN kinds Of hard labor,
without adequate reward-to toll in
fields, 60 hOw and draw wood, to dig
drains for officers quarters, to butcher,

New Bridge oter the Mississippi.

CHICAGO, Nov. 19.-The secretary of
State of Illinois licensed, this morning,
the Chain-of-Rocks Bridge Company,
which proposes 10 bridge the mississippi
ten miles above the big ST. Louis bridge,
with capital stock of 81, 000,Q00 The
project is believed to be in the interest
of the Gould line, and the Chicago and
Alton company.
ST, Louis, Nov. 19.-Regarding the
proposed new bridge across the nj s.
issippi river at Chain of-Rocks, above
this city, license for the construction of
which has been issued by the Secretary
of Illinois, it may be said that
the project is an old one, and if it
is built it will be used for freight only,
and be controlled by the Chicago & Al
ton, Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, In
dianapolis & st Louis, Cairo Short Line
and possibly some others: Should the
Gould interest build the bridge, it will
probably be at Arsenal Island, three
miles below the centre of the city,
where ground has already been ac-
quired as contingent site for the cen
trail pier.

general rule is, and has bsen, that
where an official has the use OF a Coy
eminent carriage, SO do his sisters, his
cousins, his aunts, his wife, and all his
wife's relations. Sheriden's love of
