rities.

This inequality cannot, of course, be pre-

vented by legal or artificial process. The securities

will be more equally distributed among the respec-
tive States, if not among the people, as the new

States approach the older ones in wealth. These
manifest truths indicate how important it is that
the debt of the United States should be a home
debt, so that the money which is collected for taxes
may be paid to our own people in the way of inte-
rest. In fact, a large national debt to be tolerable
must of necessity be a home debt. A nation that

7HE AMERICAN ARMY.

The following is General U. Grant's report
To General J.. M. Schofield, Secretary of War.-"
Sir—l have the honour to submit the report of
division district and department commanders fer
i.
the past year. These reports give a full account
of the operations and services of the army for the
year, and I refer to them for details. I would ear' e.
nestly renew my recommendation of last year that
the control of the Indians be transferred to the
War Department. I call special attention to the
recommendation of General Sherman on this sub'
ject. It has my earnest approval. It is unnecer
sary that the arguments in favour of the transfer
should be repeated. The necessity for it become°
stronger and more evident every day. While the
~Indian war continues I do not deem any general
legislation for the reduction of the army advisable'
The troops on the plains are all needed. Troops
are still needed in the Southern States. A further
reduction can be made in the way already used and
now in operation, where it is safe, namely, bl
dlowing companies to diminish by discharges with"
out being strengthened by recruits, and by stop"
ping appointments of second lieutenants. If 0
should be deemed advisable, the veteran reserfe,
regiment might be discontinued by absorption and
retirement of officers and discharge of men, with'
out detriment to the service.

LAW AND POLICE.

Arn. RUSSELL GURNEY'S Acv.—A curious point, a point
exceedingly interesting to members of benefit societies, has
been raising concerning the meaning of the word
" servant," in the Act passed in the last Parliament,
under the auspices of the Recorder of London. At the
Middlesex Sessions a man named Tyree, who had
acted as treasurer to a loan society established in
Marylebone, was indicted under the Act for having
embezzled £lB6 belonging to the members. The
prisoner's counsel submitted that his client, having been
paid no salary, was neither a clerk nor a servant within
the meaning of the statute. He was, however, found
guilty, but the judge reserved the point which had been
raised, and deferred passing sentence until it can be decided
upon by a superior court. In the meantime the prisoner
is admitted to bail.
BANTING IN COURT. —Mr. Banting, the Court under-
taker and anti•obese writer, seems to be " fated " to be
kept prominently before the public. He has been sum-
moned at the Hammersmith Police-court fcr having allowed
a person in his service to stand on th:, sill of a window fox
the purpose of cleaning it, That the window was so
cleaned there was no question, but the work was done,
not by one of Mr. Banting's servants, but by a competent
glazier employed for the purpose. The complainant, a
man named Hanson, contended that the tradesman was
Mr. Banting's servant whilst employed under his roof ;
but the magistr to decided otherwise, and dismissed the
summons with costs.

THE ELECTION DISTURBANCES.—A case arising out of
the recent disturbances in the northern division of
Leicestershire has been heard at Leicester. Fourteen
men were charged with " unlawfully, riotously, and
wantonly, with divers other evil - disposed per-
sons, to the number of fifty and more, assembling
together to disturb the public peace at Sbeepshed, on Nov.
20." Several farmers described the outrageous treatment
they received from a mob as they were proceeding to vote
for Lord J. Manners and Arr. Clowes. The counsel
for the defence urged that the proof of identity
rested entirely in the evidence of the policemen,
and even they could not speak to any particular
acts committed by his clients, only that they formed part
of a crowd who were guilty of riotous conduct. He asked
the jury not to convict the defendants, who were young
men of good character, of the serious off nee with which
they were charged. The jury, however, found all the
prisoners guilty, and they were sentenced to three months'
bard labour each.

c-,E CONFERENCE ON THE EASTERN QUESTION.
h€
arrangements for the Conference at Paris remain:
unchanged, and it is little likely that any obstacle will now
arise. Nevertheless, Europe has had a very narrow
escape from a serious war. There is no doubt that Greece
deliberately chose to abide by the chances of a struggle,
and it is scarcely less certain that Tuikey would also have
preferred an appeal to arms. According to information
from an excellent source, the Porte consented to accept
the invitaticn of Francs only when it was found that the
loan of five millions sterling recently contracted with the
Sociad G6n6rale of Paris could not readily be realised.
The sinews of war were wanting. Even now the Liberti
believes that the Conference has been accepted only to gain
time—and money.
The Paris correspondent of the Post believes it is
correctly asserted that the Emperor and his Cabinet are
Pleased at the meeting of a Conference in order to pre-

ing over the East. France has not armed to fight battles

renounced her traditional 7.61 e of protector of the Christians

A WARNING TO THE PREMIER.

The Freeman's Journal, discussing the return of
the Attorney-General for Ireland for the borough of
Mallow, points out that opposition to the officials of
the Government has been suspended, in order that
the Ministry may be afforded every legitimate oppor-
tunity of realising. their avowed policy towards
Ireland. "We are, therefore, patient and indulgent
because we believe we are dealing with men who mean
to deal honestly with the country. Should there, how.
ever, be any miscarriage of justice in the legislation
of the future—should the measures of religiout,
equality prove limping and incomplete, the disappoint..
ment will be extreme and the indignation
of the people implacable. They have been
led to expect much—they have been promised
much—the exigencies of the country demand.
much ; and hence anything short of all that is neces-
sary for the tranquilisation and the permanent
prosperity of the country will be a sad discourage-
ment to those who wish to recognise a real and
thorough union existing between the two countries;
while such half measures would be accepted as a boon
by those who desire to perpetuate an unfriendly
feeling with England, and who seem to believe that
the Imperial Parliament is neither able nor willing
to do justice to the Irish people."

7HE AMERICAN ARMY.

The following is General U. Grant's report
I'o General J. M. Schofield, Secretary of War.---
Sir—l have the honour to submit the report of
division district and department commanders for
the past year. These reports give a full account
of the operations and services of the army for the
year, and I refer to them for details. I would ear'
neatly renew my recommendation of last year that
the control of the Indians be transferred to the
War Department. I call special attention to the
recommendation of General Sherman on this sub'
ject. It has my earnest approval. It is unneces-
sary that the arguments in favour of the transfer
should be repeated. The necessity for it become/
stronger and more evident every day. While the
i
Indian war continues I do not deem any general
legislation for the reduction of the army advisable,
"The troops on the plains are all needed. Troops
are still needed in the Southern States. A farther
reduction can be made in the way already used and
now in operation, where it is safe, namely, 11
allowing companies to diminish by discharges with'
out being strengthened by recruits,
,and by stop'
ping appointments of second lieutenants. If it
should be deemed advisable, the veteran reserve
regiment might be discontinued by absorption and
retirement of officers and discharge of men, with'
out detriment to the service.

THE REPRESENTATION OF RENFREWSIIIIIE
is understood that Colonel Mure, of Caldwell, a large pro'
priei tn. in the county, is willing to stand for Renfrowshire
as a supporter of Mr. Glalitone's Government. Tilde
gallant colonel in 1865 supported Sir Michael Itob3rt
Stewart; but his friends state thal; since then his political
views have undergone a change. At the recent election
he refused to stand for North Ayrshire as a Conservatilrn
It is alleged that Colonel Mure not only entertains the
opinions of the Liberal pasty on the subject of the
Church, but that he is also in favour of the assimi:atiou (),

AMERICA.

The recent case of lynch law in Indiana has moved the
Senate to consider the means of preventing such outrage
in future. A bill has been drawn up providing that when
any person has been surrendered to the United States
Government on a charge of crime, the President shall take
all necessary measures for his transportation and for his
security against violence. The central Government
did safely transport the three men who were hanged at
the Indiana gaol, but the task of guarding them devolved
upon the local authorities, who proved utterly unequal to
it. Some of the Canadian papers are endeavouring to

prove that two of the three men were innocent.
Speculation was wholly in error as to Mr. Caleb
Cushing's destination. Ire has gone to South America,
and was last heard of at Panama. It is now thought
that the projected Panama Canal is the object of his
journey.

THE RESULTS OF THE GENERAL

ELECTION.

Under this title Mr. Busk, of Charing-cross, has published
a pamphlet by Mr. Dudley Baxter, of the firm of 'Baxter,
Rose, and Norton, and son of the defeated Conservative
candidate for Hull. Mr. Baxter's object is to prove from
the late elections that the Conservatives did wisely to
pass the late Reform Bill, and that, in spite of their
present depression, they have substantially improved
their position. For instance, in the old Parliament
the counties had a member for every 70,000
population, while the boroughs had one for 26,000 ;
whereas in the new Parliament the proportion
will be one to 60,000 and one to 30,000 respectively ; so
that the boroughs have now only twice as many members
as the counties, instead of three times as many, which they
used to have. Mr. Baxter asserts, also, that, reckoning by
the population of the constituencies, the Conservatives have
made a net gain of 432,000 of the population. That is to say,
while the Liberal-returning constituencies shew an increase
of population as compared with the last election of
1,734,700, the Conservative-returning constituencies shew
an increase of 2,166,800. This latter increase is wholly in
England, while the Liberal increase is divided over Wales,
Scotland, and Ireland.

A WARNING TO THE PREMIER.

The Freeman's Journal discussing the return 01
the Attorney-General for Ireland for the borough of
Mallow, points out that opposition to the officials of
the Government has been suspended, in order that
the Ministry may be afforded every legitimate oppor-
tunity of realising their avowed policy towards
Ireland. "We are, therefore, patient and indulgent
because we believe we are dealing with men who mean
to deal honestly with the country. Should there, how-
ever, be any miscarriage of justice in the legislation
of the future—should the measures of religioug
equality prove limping and incomplete, the disappoint.
went will be extreme and the indignation
of the people implacable. They have been
led to expect much—they have been promised
much—the exigencies of the country demand
much ; and hence anything short of all that is neces-
sary for the tranquilisation and the permanent
prosperity of the country will be a sad discourage-
meat to those who wish to recognise a real and
thorough union existing between the two countries;
while such half measures would be accepted as a boon
by those who desire to perpetuate an unfriendly
feeling with England, and who seem to believe that
the Imperial Parliament is neither able nor willing
to do justice to the Irish people."
