GEN. sHERMAN's RETIREMENT
Regrets at Washington and Welcome
at st. Louis.

WASHINGTON CITY, Oct 16-Washington
society and its public men will bid Gen.
Sherman good-by with regret. There has
never been much sympathy here with the
idea of retiring him, even among those who
| in matters of military history have been his
critics Beyond question he is as much
fitted to-day, both physically and men
tally, to command the army as he ever was.
The feeling has always been strong here that
in the matter of retirement an exception
should have been made in his case, and he be
allowed to hold the position created first for
Gen. Grant and afterward given him for
distinguished services so long as he should
be able to perform any duty. The position
in time of peace is one that calls for no spe-
cial effort, and the duty of commanding the
army did not add to the burdens of the rank
which was given him as well-deserved com.
pliment. His friends did not manage the case
of the general at the time the retirement act
was passed as literally as many who did not
profess to be special friends would have done,
for the feeling was then that an exception
should have been made in his case, and he
left in command of the army.
ST LOUIS, Mo, Oct 16-At a meeting of
the Pensioners union of Missouri several
hundred names were signed to the following
resolution:
Whereas, Our old commander, Gen. W. T.
Sherman, is about to retire from active duty
and to live and die in our midst; and
Whereas, Two decades have passed since
we severed our connection with him asa COM
maader who ranks to-day as one of the most
illustrious soldiers of the world; therefore,
Resolved, That special committee of re-
ception be appointed to accord him glo-
rious welcome home.

---St. Louis Troubles

for an Injunction against Messrs Moore
& Dillon, editors of The Post-DiE
patch, to restrain them from publishing, using
or destroying the shorthand notes of wit
nesses' testimony before the last grand jury,
alleged to be in their possession, The court
refused to grant the injunction, On the con-
stitutional ground that it has no right to in
terfere with the liberty of the press. The

Police Commissioners John H. Maxon and
Alexander Kinkead

questioned by a reported on the gambling

Destruction Of Port an Prince

LONDON, Oct. 16Advices from Hayti,
which have just reached here, state that half
the city of Port au Prince has been destroyed
by an incendiary fire, started, it is supposed
by sympathizers with the revolutionists The
city is said to be entirely in the hands of the
mob, who are pillaging and numbering in all
quarters The government forces are bonn
harding the town, and its entire destruction
is not improbable. Foreign war ships are
present and will do all in their power to pro-
tect the lives of the foreign residents.

The Late Pool Swindle.

New YORK, Oct. l6.-The tapping of the
wires of the Western Union Telegraph COM
pany last Saturday, bymeans of which bogus
dispatches were sent all over the country,
announcing false reports of the
Jerome park races, and through
which nearly 100000 were lost
by pool sellers throughout the United States,
remains as much of a mystery as ever. The
Western Union is having strict inquiry made
into the affair, and if the guilty parties are
discovered they will be prosecuted to the full
extent of the law. Ex-pool sellers or en-
ployes of booksellers are believed to have
planned the fraud.

O'DOnnel1, the Ayenger.

LONDON, Oct 16.-The recorder of the
central criminal court, in charging the grand
jury in regard to the case of O'Donnell, said
that the prosecution claimed that the pris-
oner committed a deliberate murder of
the worst kind, because his victim
was man who had aided the law,
and who was under the protection of the
crown, and was killed out of revenge. He
pointed out the conflict in the evidence in re-
gard to ODonnell's exclamation to Mrs.
Carey after he had shot her husband. The
recorder said that it would be the sworn
duty of the jury to return a true bill for
murder against ODonnell

CIVIL RIGHTS MUST GO,
So far as the States Are Concerned.
An Important Decision.


WASHINGTON CITY, Oct 16-A decision
was rendered by the supreme court of the
United States in five civil rights cases, based
on the first and second sections of the civil
rights act of March l. They are respectively
prosecutions under the act for not admitting
certain colored persons to equal ac-
commodations and privileges in inns Or
hotels, in railroad cars and theatres The
court held that congress had no con-
stitutional authority to pass the sections in
question, under the Thirteenth or Fourteenth
amendments of the constitution. The de
cision however, is held to apply only to their
validity in the states and not in the territories
or the District of Columbia, where the legis-
lative power of congress is unlimited. So
far as the states are concerned, the two Sec
tions of the law above referred to are declared
unconstitutional and void. Justice Bradley
rendered the opinion, Justice Harlan dis
serting.

Hancock for the Old Ticket, With a
Condition.

CHICAGO, Oct 16.-The Tribune has the
following from Washington City: "The fact
has become known through army circles that
Gen. Hancock is exceedingly anxious for the
old ticket, provided it is not too old He
thinks the ticket of 1880 about the right age,
and he is very DESTROYS of having that par
hcular old one tried again. To that he will
gladly pledge an undivided support. The
general was very pronounced in his support
of the plan, but Mr.. English was discovered
to be quite Indifferent"

By leaving his coat hanging over night
on the railing of his house Alderman John
Lyons is $475 out of pocket, and had the
thief attended to his regular business he
might have had nearly as much more. On
returning home on Sunday evening, while
resting for moment Mr.. Lyons took off
his coat and hung it on the railing of the
stoop in front of his residence. Receiving
a sudden call from his little boy, the gen,
tleman fastened in to the house, forget
ting to take his garment, in the pockets of
which there was nearly nine hundred dol
lars, contained in two sacks, in one of
which there was $475 in cash in the other
there was notes and money amounting to
$400 or more, the exact amount Mr.. Lyons
could not state. The supposit1on is that
the stolen sack projected slightly from the
pocket, and the thief as he passed by,
seeing his chance, grabbed the sack hit or
miss, and went on his way as unconcern-
edly as if nothing extraordinary had oc-
Cured. AS the coat was hung on the rail-
ing at about 6 O'Clock on Sunday evening
and remained there until the next
morning, it was impossible to tell at what
hour the robbery was committed,
neither is there any well defined suspicion
as to who the thief may be.

IT is evident that the French are getting
somewhat troubled over the reports of the
high-handed doings of their admiral at
Tamatave, and are not easy over the growl-
ings of the British lion. thereat They have
received no regular dispatches from their
forces at that port, and are trying to be-
lieve that their naval commander has not
got the ''big head" upon him which the re-
ports therefrom thus far indicate. If he
has, however, they intimate to the lion and
the unicorn that he will lose his epaulets
and that they will apologize, as they want
no disturbance of friendly relations. The
fact of it is the weapons of war have been
made so destructive that hardly any civil
lied nation cares to tackle an equal or a
superior. The same principle also applies
to intelligent men, with the exception, how
ever, of fre-eating southern editors of
.Ehonah"
