Tho New Grade In the Army.

The following is copy Of the Joint Res
olution which passed the House of Repre-
sentatives on Monday, and which is at pre-
sent exciting some attention.
A RESOLUTION authorizing the President of the
United States 10 confer the title of Lieuenant-Gen-
eral, by brevet, for eminent services.
Resolved, by the Senate and House of Rep
resentatives of the United States of America
in Congress assembled, That the grade of lieu
tenant general be, and the same is hereby, re-
vived in the United States in order that when
in the opinion of the President and Senate, it
shall be deemed proper to acknowledge emf
in the late war with Mexico, in the mode al
ready provided for in subordinate grades, the
grade of lieutenant-gen may be specially
conferred by brevet, and by brevet only, to
take rank from the date of such services. Pro-
vided, however, That when the said grade of
lieutenant-general by brevet shall have once
been filled, and have become vacant, this joint
resolution shall thereafter expire and be Of no
effect.
The section of the act of Congress which
established the grade of lieutenant general
was passed on the 2sth Of May, 1898, and
is as follows Fifth Congress, session 2,
chapter Al, 1898: y
SEC. s. And be it further enacted, That
whenever the President shall deem it expedent
he is hereby empowered to appoint, by and
with the advice and consent of the Senate, q
commander of the army which may be raised
by virtue of this act, and who, being commits
stoned as lieutenantgeneral, may be author
lied to command the armies of the United
States, and shall be entitled to the following
pay and emoluments, viz $3.50 monthly pay,
$50 monthly allowance for forage, when the
same shall not be provided by the United States,
and forty rations per day, or money in lieu
thereof at the current price who shall have
authority to appoint, from time to time, such
number Of aids, not exceeding four, and secre-
taries, not exceeding two, as he may Judge
proper, each to have the rank, pay and emolu-
ments of lieutenant-cOlOn
The Mexican war transpired in the year
lS47, and the pay Of an officer with the
rank Of acknowledgement, as provided in
the act of 1898, from that time to the pres
ent, would amount to more than $4,000.
It will be seen that there is attached to the
grade of acknowledgement q staff of six
persons-four lieutenant colonels and two
secretaries with the rank and pay of
ieutenantco colonel

DEMocRATIc SECRET SoCIETTEs--The
Democratic party displays its usual consls-
tency in denouncing secret political societies.
1t is violently opposed to Know Nothinglsm
on the ground of its secreSy. Be it remem-
bered, that the first secret political society
ever organized in the West, was the "Miami
Tribe" in Cincinnati, composed exclusively
of Democrats, and we are not aware that this
organization was ever denounced by any reg
uar, recognized organ of the democratic par
ty. Recently, we hear of another secret po-
ltical society, said to have originated with
the German Democrats Of Columbus, Ohio
and now spreading rapidly among the De-
mocracy of that State and Kentucky, under
the euphonious title of Sag Nichts;" yet we
hear of no Democratic denunciatons being
hurled against them. 1t seems, then, that
Democracy is opposed only to such secret
political societies as wrest the spoils Of office
from their grasp We freely confess that If
we are to have secret political societies in the
country, we greatly prefer those compos-
ed of native instead Of foreign-born citi-
Zens.
