In the HouRe, on Tuesday, Gen. Logan reflected teverely uron a letter written by Gen. SHSRUAH to Senator Wilson criticising the biil passcd by the House reducing the arroy, and also the pay of general officers. Logan thouglit the letter remarkable, let, for being written at all, and 2d, becauso of its statements. He cvidently don't recognize the right of tho General of the Army to dictato in in&tters cf legislation : which protest, howcver, comeB at too late a day, and not with a very good grace, from one who has aided to place the military abovo the civl power, not only in the conquered province?, but by making the President - though commanderin-chief - subordínate to the General of the Army. The Radical leaders have anewreadng for this clause of the Coustilution : "The United Statea ühall gnarantee to ovcry State a Republican forra of governiüent." They omit that Hltle and mcaningless word "forin," and substitute for "governiiiCDt," aiministraiion, a synoDymous word io their vocabulary, and then the reading is : "The United States ehall guarantce to cvery State a Rcpoblican administration." Don't this givo Congress tho right to roconstruct TeDnessee, compel Georgia, Texas, &c., to come to their terms, and to deal ith Now York, Now Jersey, Kentucky or any other Stat? presumiügto elect Democratie cfficers ?

Thomas died, at San Francisco, oa Monday niog last, of apoplesy agcd 53 years, having b:ea bowl in SouthainptJn cíunty, Virginia, July 31, 1816. Oen. Thomas graduated at West Pmot iu 1840, and entatetl service as secood lieuten&nt ia tho 3d U. S. Artillcry.- He wod nn honorable name in the Mcsic-.in war, and at the breaking out of the recent rebellion he was on duty on the Indian frontier. His career durifiz the war for the preservatiou of tho Union is fresh in the minds nf all, and it is suf ficient to eay tbat he was oue of the most efEcieat, enorgetic, popular and beoved oEcers of the army. His death Ls a great loss to the army and. the county.

U.nöer the hending, "How the People ire Kobbed," the Civil Service Jouraal, [Washington, D. C.,) gtves a list üf ihe progcuy of "Old Subiidy" now nsking nharity of CongrefS. It figures in raoney and land, to steam&hip and railroad coirpnnies, only $511,000,000.

Tui Toledo Commercial puggests thtt Dr. Puck "feels uo alarm" becauso the Democracy run two candidates ngainst him, "as he once beat four men at a single eleotion." Ye BU[poee that the Democr.tls despairing of the suecess of any candidate they could put in theSeld, thought to ease up their defeat by dividing it between two. That may not be the reason wliy two were placed iu nomination, but we'll bet a glass of Maumee fluía that it is a better one than wi)l be assigned. Dkfavlting and absconding Collector Bailev, of Now York, has been heard from.

TnE Senato Committee on Finance has reported a bill continuing the odioue ncorae tax indefioitely after 1870, at ihree per cent. There ia no hope of relief from nuequal and burdensome tasation until the old fogies are turned out of the halls of Gongress, - the Angoan Stablca cleansed, - and men frsh from the poople installed in their places.
