MORTALITY OF THE FEDERAL ARM

MORTALITY OF THE FEDERAL ARMY.
The report Of the Provost Marshal Gen
eral of the Federal army has been publish
ed. The tables exhibiting mortality of
the army show that, without including
deaths which have occurred after muster
out, 200,739 officers and men have lost
their lives, in the army. OF this number
1921 commissioned officers and 90,886
enlisted men have been killed in action
or died of wounds, while 1921 commits
stoned officers and 1872 1923 enlisted men
have died of disease, or in. some cases of
accident. This will give one officer kill
ed in action or died of wounds to every
eighteen enlisted men, which makes the
mortality of the off :ers somewhat greater
than that of men, as the former consti-
tute about one twenty-6fth of the entire
force, supposing the organizations to be

BIG NAILS IN Two CoFFINs.-The
nomination of Mr.. Roscoe Conkling for
United States Senator by the Republican
caucus at Albany has driven huge nail
into the cffins Of two distinguished poll
ticians-Thullow Weed and Horace Gree.
ly. The former was laid out fat and
stiff by this nomination, because it was
partly in consequence of his hostility to
Weed that Coukling was selected over
Harris and Davis, As for Greedy, he
was barely mentioned in the caucus
There may be halfa dozen more promi-
neut men also knocked over by this affair,
but Weed aud Greedy are The greatest
sufferers. Their collins are nailed down
fast.-N. Y. Herald.

. In Fix.-!n the recent effort says the Ke-
waunee wis. Enterprise, to raise the per diem
of the members of the Minnesota Legislature, it
was discovered that there has never been any
law in that State authorizing the payment of per
diem and mileage to members of the Legislature,
and consequently, the bonds of the State Trea-
surers are liable for all such payments heretofore
made. This is not very sharp practice for a

THE LOWELL FAcToRIEs-If the cp.
eratives in the Lowell factories could pass
themselves off as "colored PERSONS" they
would infallibly succeed in their attempt
to get their eleven hours of daily labor
reduced to ten. While they remain
white, misfortune is likely to attend
them all their lives, they never can sue
ceed in arousing the sympathies of their
Boston employers. Elsewhere working
people are agitatiug for the chit hour
system, and success will crown their ef-
forts; but in Lowell, people must expect
harder work aud longer hours, in order
that red flannel jackets and tract missions
to- the unborn babes Of Africa shall be
sustained. Are they not in the service
of the Lords chosen? Then why should
they gruioble ?-N Y Herald.

SPECIE MOVEMENTS OF THE PAST
YEAR.-The receipts of gold from Cali,
fornia at this port during 1866 were $4l,
100. 500; from other countries, $685.
making total of $5l 1928, 994 -
The exports amounted to S62, 553, 700,
being an excess over the imports of SILL"
224,7O6.
The Treasury, on the LIST of January,
1866, held $45, 1851 in gold, and on
the LIST of January, 1867, $97,S41 sos
showing gain of $50, l06,317. 1t thus
appears that, with drain of coin to for
eign countries heavier than any preced-
ing year since 1857, the amount of coin
has increased in our country over $780,
000,000. This surplus can be accounted
for from no official returns, as they are
against such state of affairs. 1t is es-
tmated that each immigrant of age
brings to this country, on an average.
$50 in gold; this alone would give US
$15,OO0,0OO. Passengers from Califor-
MIA also brig about s10,O00,000 per
aunum, which do not appear in official
returns. Large remittances are made
also through the Territories.
From the amount of gold now in the
country it appears that the supply has in
creased at the rate of one million dollars
per esk.-Ne,o York Observer.

The Democracy Sustained.

Mr.. Justice Davis, of the Supreme
Court of the United States, delivered the
opinion of the Court in the celebrated
MiIligan case, in reference to military
commissions. In that opinion be says:
. "Tbe Constitution of the United States
is law for rulers and people, equally in
war and peace, and covers with the shield
of its protection all classes of men at all
times, and under all circumstances. No
doctrine involving more pernicious con-
sequences was ever invented by the wit of
man than that any of its provisions can
be suspended during any of the great
emergencies Of the Government. Such
doctrine leads directly to anarchy and des-
potsm but the theory of necessity on
which it is based is false, for the Govern.
ment, within the Constitution, has all the
powers granted to it which are necessary
to preserve its existence, as has been hap.
PLY proved by the result of the great eff
fort to throw off its just authority"
This is the language of patriotism, of
truth and of the genius of our institutions.
For enuneIating these immortal princi-
pies, Demacrats have been villifcd, pre-
scribed aud denounced but the dlspas-
sionate investigation given by the Su-
preme Court to this momcntous subject,
has yielded from the pen Of Justice Davis,
an appGintee of Mr. Lincoln himself, his
personal friend and his executor, this
most ample vindication of the correctness
of the tenets of our political faith.-JcE
