THE ARMY.
Transfer of the Command From Gen.
Sherman to Gen. Sheridan.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. 1.-The
formal transfer of the command of the
army from Gen. Sherman to Lieut.
Gen. Sheridan took place at noon to-day
at headquarters of the army in the War
Department building. Gen. Sheridan
spent the forenoon in making himself
acquainted with the business of the of
flee. Gen. Sherman and members of
his staff rendered him every assistance.
Shortly before II O'Clock the two
highest officers of the army called on
the Secretary of War, Gen. Sherman to
take official leave, and Gen. Sheridan
to report for duty. The transfer was
accomplished quietly and without any
ceremony whatever beyond the issuance
of general orders notifying the army OF
the change of commanders.
These orders were the last and first
official acts respectively of the outgoing
and incoming commanders. The two
officers remained in conversation some
time after the change occurred. Gen.
Sheridan received congratulations from
prominent gentlemen all over the coun-
try.
Shortly after the transfer Gen. Sher-
man and Gen. Sheridan held an infor-
NAL reception, attended by all the Of
fiers of the army on duty in Washing
ton, also by officers of the Second Ar
tillery, stationed at Fort McHenry, and
the bureau officers of the department.
All took official leave of Gen. Sher-
man, and were by him presented to
Gen. Sheridan. Subsequently Gen.
Sherman and Gen. Sheridan, accom-
panied by the Secretary of War, made
an official call upon the President.

earn for Distribution.

Mr.. D. Y. Howell, Superintendent of
the Ohio Fish Hatchery, desires it
known that he will have 5000 young
German carp ready for distribution
within week. These fish will be CIV
en- to responsible parties in lots of fifteen
or twenty, and every farmer who may
have, or can construct on his land, a
small pond should not fail to stock it
with these fish. They are among the
best food fishes known, and their re-
markably rapid growth and hardness
makes it possible for them to be raised
with little trouble. In two years they
attain a wight of about two pounds,
after which their growth is still more
rapid. 1t is not necessary that the
pond in which they are kept be fed
by running water, but on the contrary
they seem to thrive best in u pond
with mud bottom. Applications for
the carp should be made to Mr.. How
ell, at his office, No. 81 Water street.

Exquisite DemaSoguery."
From Toledo Bee.1

For years past the Republican leaders
and organs everywhere have declared
that the Democratic party was respon-
sible for the decision which the United
States Supreme Court rendered in the
Dred Scott case, which was, briefly
stated, a decision against the negro face,
when a majority of the justices were
Democrats, and they have lost no op-
portunity to make political capital of it;
but now that the same court, a majority
if not all of the members of which are
Republicans, has rendered decision
regarding the civil rights bill which is
adverse to the negro race, Republican
organs are declaring that the attempt to
hold the Supreme Court responsible for
it "is a piece of exquisite demagoguery."
This simply confirms the well known
theory of the Republican managers, that
in all cases where their party interests
are at stake, what is sauce for the goose
is not sauce for the gander.

New York Times: There are now 49,
600 persons in the United States en-
gagged in the work of securing pensions
for applicants who may be induced to
employ them. Some of the agents car
ry on their business without violating
the law, and others have been continu-
ally engaged in deceiving and robbing
applicants by every fraudulent
device which dishonest pension at
torney could conceive. These rascals
have not stolen great sums of money
from the Government; although it is
probable that in some cases they have,
by collusion with dishonest applicants,
procured pensions by fraud. The mon
ey which they have stolen came in
small sums-two or three dollars here
and ten dollars there-from the pockets
of poor veterans and widows, who are
deceived by their circulars and adver-
tisements. With these contributions
the solicitors have built costly houses
and heaped up riches at Washington
and elsewhere. They have not been
content with the liberal pension laws
already on the statue-book, but have
labored increasingly in the lobby and
among the veterans for additional leg
islation. Their receipts have been sc
large that they have been able to publish
at normal rates, newspapers which are
circulated among the veterans from one
end of the country to the other. These
papers are made attractive by well-writ
ten stories of the war and by other con
tributions peculiarly interesting to the
soldier, but they are published for th'
express purpose of inducing readers tt
demand additional pension legislation.
