New YORK, Dec. 10.-The Herald's Wash

Cavalry Bureau, has submitted PROPOSE
ton for revision of the cavalry arm of the
service. which has received the approval of
many prominent general officers. The plan
cOntemplates that no soldier shall be per-
manently mounted until, he has received a.

pable of properly taking care OF horse !;
that one-third OF the force, consisting of
the recruiting regiments, shall be kept dis
mounted, with onlya sufficient number of
horses for instruction; that the regiments
shall rotate in being dismounted. After
regiment is mounted and sent to the field
it shall not receive any recruits until re-
called to the place of rendezvous. Bypthis
means there will be no troops in the field
but the most efficient. '.| l-i

The Cons1itutiOnnI Amendment.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10-0fiicial mforma-
ton has been received at the Department
of State of the adoption of the amendment
to the Constitution upon the subject of
slavery by the Legislatures of the States of
Illinois, Rhode Island, Michigan, Massa-
ehusetts, Ohio, Missouri, Maine, Pennsyl-
vania, Wisconsin, Nevada, Minnesota, Kan
sas, New York, Connecticut, West Virgin
la, New Hampshire, Maryland, Vermont,
Louisiana, Arkansas, Tennessee, South Car
Olina and Virginia. These make twenty
three States. Telegraphic information has
been received of the adoption of the
amendment by tne three States of North
Carolina, Georgia and Alabama. No
information of any kind has been received
of iCs adoption or rejection by Indiana,
Iowa. California. Oregon Florida, Mississip-
pi or Texas. Official intelligence of its re-
lection by the Legislature of Kentucky,
Delaware and New Jersey has also been
received. Immediately after the passage of
the resolutions by Congress, an attested
copy of the amendment was forwarded by
the Secretary of State to the Governor of
each State, and sometime ago the Secretary
also sent circular to the Governors re-
minding them of the duty imposed up
on him by the act of Congress of the Doth of
April, 1878, to give public notice when the
amendment shall have been ratified by the
requisite number of States. From this it
will be seen how desirable it is that the
States which have not reported or dwelt
upon the matter, should lose no time in do
ing so.

and civil police substituted on the 18th
inst. ...". ...1 ..s.s.
The members of the Legislature seem to
have decided that devotion to the rebel
cause during the war is to be the measure
of merit. and they have therefore resolved
to remove all the Union State officers, save
the State Auditor. holding office under ap-
polntment from Governor Pierpont, and
appointed next Tuesday for electing,
Secession successors to them. They have
also adopted an amendment to their
State Constitution, which not only does
away with all disabilities for holding office
on account of participation in the rebellion,
but does not even require the oath of alle-.
glance to be taken. A joint committee has
been appointed by the two Houses to con-
fer with the military authorities aud urge
immediate removal of the National troops
from the State, one member remarking du-
ring the discussion over the matter, that

ernment long enough" -

New York, Dec. 9.-The Commercial
says: The large sales of gold by the Assist
ant Treasurer have directly affected the
money and stock markets. 1t is understood
that it is the intention of the Treasury to
sell in all at present $5000000. This pro-
duces a large withdrawal of currency into
the sub-Treasury, which probably will not
get into circulation again until the 10Th in
slant, when $l0.950000 of interest npon the
I'd series of 1905 falls due. The result is
apparent in a partial changing of loans and
a comparative scarcity OF money. Some of
the brokers find it difficult to borrow, and
the consequent running around for loans
produces the appearance of very active de-
mand. while the amount of accommoda-
ton wanted, perhaps, is no more than
usual.
The stock market has taken a decidedly
bearish cue. The bull clique do their best
to stem the downward current and succeed
in checking the decline, but the money
market and very strong combinations are
against them, so that tall in prices would
seem almost unavoidable. Government
stocks are again weak. The condition of
the money market is inducing some of the
holders to sell out, and quotations are "a
Tc lower. The Directors of the Chicago
a. Northwestern railroad have decided to
pass dividend on the preferred stock, and
to appropriate its surplus to equipment
purposes.
Discounts are dull. The demand is ac-
tive, but, with partial scarcity of funds,
there is disposition to favor call loans at
the expense of paper. Prime bills are cur
rent at Z per cent; other grades at 10 to Is
per cent. On call loans the rate is uni
formly 7per cent. WA
Gold weak. The Government is under
stood to be still selling, and the downward
tendency is helped by the late bulls selling
out freely. The price has averaged about
