of his remarks, the General stated
that he had received many offers
from English capitalists to take
up his residence in England as
superintendent of extensive engi-
neer works in that country, but.
he had concluded, upon calmly
surveying the different govern
ments of the world, their status
and their inherit strength, that
this country possesses the most
stable government of any land ON
the face of the earth, and that
for his part he was determined to
spend his life under the flag of
the government that was most
stable and leastliable to disorgani-
sation. It was nothing short of
sheer nonsense to talk of another
rebellion. If they wanted to raise
one they could not; it was utterly
impossible, and it will be impossi-

GENERAL GRANTS REPORT.

The good sense that has characterized
al! the actions Of General Grant since he
entered upon his public career is display
ed in his al,nuai report as Geueralin-Chlei
and Secretary of War. We have hereto
fore adyerteG to the economical policy he
has pursued since he took charge o. the
War Department, and in this report he
uiyes rs some details Of his retrencnment
lie tells US that the army is mostly OF
fccrel by men whose army experience
does not date back of 1860, and that they
have continued in time OF peace the e2-
pcnsive arrangements to which they were
accustomed in war. 20 this he has put q
stop.
lie has also abolished some five differ
ent bureaus created during the war, but
now deemed unnecessary, and which were
mere snuggeries for official drones, such
as the Bureau Of Rebel Archives and the
Bureau of Military Justice. In the Quar-
termaster's Department he has made even
a greater change, by ordering the sale o.
the greater portion of the vast accumuia-
tion of stores of all sorts, which far oz-
ceedei The wants Of our present military
establishment for many years to come
Being of perishable nature, and borne
in the return of officers accountable Tor
them, they had to be stored aad guarded,
although the cost yearly might be greater
than their value BY ordering the sale,
Grant has saved the expense Of rent Of
many storehouses, as well as the pay OF
large numbe, of civil employees.
In the Freeaman's Bureau he has made
useful change by closing the hospitals
at the south and substituting dispensaries,
as a more economical mode of relief TO
the sick. There is always to be found in
hospitals a class Of oilers who seek tha,
shelter because Of the good living to be
had there for nothing. Grant saw enough
Of this in the army during the war, and
soon detected this feature Of the Bureau
as being one of the leading causes Of ex-
pense. The dispensaries will furnish re-
lief to those who are really sick, but no
maintenance. Grant has also made
change in the distribution Of rations to
the needy. In August last he disconrinu-
ed it entirely, reserriug the funds and
supplies on hand for those who may re-
quire help during the winter. ltappears
that the whole expense of this relief for
the yeqr has been Sll5, 1886, for 233 .372
person. thc average number being 5S, 600.
Finally, the General proposes to reduce
the army very considerably, which is tie
most important feature Of all in lis re
treuchmeut policy.

Cotton has so long been one OF the chiel
staple products Of our country, that our
commerce, cur industry, our iipauce, have
all, in large measure, been built up on
it. Anterior to the civil war We were
the chief producers Of cotton, and the
vast Importance OF this staple was one OF
the main arguments OF the defenders OF
slavery and of southern domination. 1t
was said that emancipation would ruin
the cotton culture in the southern States.
1t has net done 50, although the cotton
crop is not what it once vas. War, with

the cotton culture than emancipation.
