The Army Bill.
From the Tribune.

from the Tribune.
Before Congress votes an increase of our regu-
lar army to seventy-odd regiments, costing at
least $5O,OO0,OOO per annum, we hope some one
win attempt to answer our objection that there
aoia be no such dYmy-only the official skeleton
wherein there win be about as many Off
GERS as soldiers
Understand, then, that we object to an in.
crease of our infantry regiments to nifty and
our cavalry to ten, because the men will not
and cannot be enlisted to fill these regiments
that the intent Is to make good places for
officers who will have no commands, and who
Will divide their time mainly between Wash
ington, Saratoga, and Newport, living in idle,
ness and luxury on an already overtaxed
people. Let Congress ascertain whether the
regiments already authorized are or are not
full before they create any more. If we cannot
fill few regiments, when we have just mus
tered out nearly a million men, we surely are
not likely 10 fill twice the number after, the
taste for war has subsided, and our people have
had-as we trust they may generations Of
profound peace.

An Irish antiquary Of some celebrity has Just
died in Dublin-Dr. Petrie, the author of the
Ground Towers of Ireland" He was born in
l79l, and his original profession was that Of
painter, but his tastes were more for literature
and antiquarian studies, and, when an oppor-
tunity afforded, he abandoned the brush and
the palette for the pen. His Essay on the
"Round Towers gained him the gold medal of
the Royal Irish Academy. He afterwards gained
a prize from the same critical body for his Essay
on the Military Antiquities of Ireland" Many
interesting facts relative to the Cyclopean archi-
lecture of Ireland's earliest inhabitants were
given in this. He was afterwards engaged on
the historical and antiquarian sections OF
the Ordnance Survey OF Ireland. OF Irish native
music, which many years since was so success
fully treated of by Mr.. Hardman in his work,
DR.. Petrie is SAID to have left very valuable
collection.
MIR. Bayard Taylor is busy with the proof
sheets of his new novel, now rapidly passing
through the press of Hurd q Houghton. He

to contain even more of the elements of a popu-
lar novel than "Hannah Thurstonn or "John
Godfrey" The scene Is laid in and about the
village Kennett Square-the authors native

county life of Pennsylvania at the beginning OF
this century.

low, acting under the direction of Mr.. Seward,
called the attention Of the French Government
last Novem Der to certain acts or reported acts OF
Macmillan In Mexico, such as that OF a plan to
induce the immigration of negroes, and to place
them in a state of peonage, that relating to the
Yturbide family, and that regarding the severe
penalties against Mexican prisoners of war. The 1
correspondence published relates to this. But 1t
appears that the French Government reluctantly
laid It before the great bodies of the State, 1t
being deemed ''of nature to prove inconveni.
ent with regard to the negotiations commenced"
and only did so because the documents had been
called for by our Congress and published here.
At the time of the publication of the docu-
ments referred TO we, commented upon the
captious and irritable language OF the French
Minister 10 our Minister, Mr.. Bigelow. We think
it was unnecessary and undignided for the
United States TO take any official notice OF the
reported negro immigration scheme or the
Yturbde family. We should not have meddled
with the matter. But this does not exonerate
the French Government from censure for the
dsrespectful manner in which 1t treated the
official communications Of tue United States.
The subteriuges OF NJ. Drouyn de Lhuys, by
which he attempts to shit the responsibility of
what was occurring In Mexico from the French
Government 10 force us TO quasi recognition OF
Maximllian, and to sneer at the assumed absurd
position we had placed ourselves In by recogniz
ing Government shat had disappeared was
extremely disrespecttul, to say the least. Every
new development of this Mexican business shows
that the French Government finds itself in
delicate and very annoying situation, For this
1t can blame no one but itself, and certainly not
our Government, which has been patient and
considerate in the matter.
All the world knows that the only real Gov
ernment In Mexico since the intervention, except
the legitimate Government of the Republic, was
that under Marshal Bazaine; and however much
NJ Drouyn de Lhuys may object to the word
planted as applied to the French forcing
Maximilian upon the country, every one knows
that he not only was planted there bv French
bayonets, but that he is kept there by them. 1t
was an insult to our common sense to assume
that we did not understand this. We did not
and could not recognize the Imperial assump-
ton OF MaXimilan, and could go to no other
Government than that of France about any
matter occurring in that part of Mexico sub
ugated by French arms and kept SO by them.
The more the French Government stirs this
matter the worse for itself. If it dare not
frankly confess the truth as to the object of It's
Mexican policy let it remain silent But the
best and shortest way TO stop discussion and
cover up its fault is to withdraw every French
soldier at once, and leave Macmillan to stand
upon his own legs.

will satisfy the most critical, 1t maintains Its

The work before us is in two editions and is
most valuable expounder the common myste-
ries of everyday life. 1t is a clear solution Of
all the phenomena which seem so simple but
about which people know so little. 1t answers
such questions as child would naturally ask,
and which parent would find most difficult to
answer. As handbook to have ever at your

The last is not the best OF Miss Muloch's
works, Like many of our modern, most popu-

powers in one pet production. John Halifax"
is her chef d'@uUre. "a Noble Life" ends with
the death OF the hero; and the pleasant style of
the authoress cannot overcome the inevitable
tendency to melancholy which follows naturally
upon a work whose title-page is an obituary
of the hero.
