RECEPTION OF A FIRE CoMPANY.-The firemen
of our city turned ont in large numbers last
evening to receive the Howard Fire Company
of ChariCstOwn, Mass, who purpose spending
few DAYS in the City of Bro.herly Love. The
welcome they received must have convinced
them that there is n ore ~ that appellation than
the mere name. Upon their arrival at the depot
hey were cordially greeted by the long line of
their fellow -fremen which was present to do
them honor. The line of march was then taken
up and each member, dressed in uniform, bore
a flaming torch, throwing a glare OF light along
the streets through which the procession passed.

:. = Co.,, - MiIitary InsubOrdinatio on,

Tho following eloquent extract from the
,ooccb Of Henry Clay, delivered in the house
or representatives, January 7, 1919, is so
we'll ad lpted to the present crisis that ro'
.oectlully ask its publication
oRecull to your recollection the Tree ma
tons which have gone before u.s. mere
arc ibcv now Aud how have they lost
tle,r lbcrtieq? # We could transport our.
selves back-back to the ages when Greece
and Rome louri.hcd in their greatest pros.
nnrity. and. mngling in the thronE should
a,L q Grecian il he aid not fear that some
daring military chief ain, covered Win Eiory'
some Philip or Al 'Xauder would some gay
overthrow the liberties o! his country, ms
couGicat and indignant GrecIan would eS
claim, Mol mol We have nothing 10 Tear
from our heroes; our Liberties will be eter
nal. The same interrogatory propounded 70
a Roman citizen would have brought forth q
.;milar r.ply. Yet Greece fell; Caesar
pnssed the Rubicon, and the patriotic arm
even of Brutus could not preserve :he hber.
ties Of his devoted country. The celebrated
Madame de StaeI, in her last, and perhaps
best work. has said that in the very year,
almost in the very month, when the prcsl.
dent of the directory declared that monarchy
would never more show its head III France,
Bonapar.e, with his Grenadiers, entered the
palace Of 81. Cloud, and dispensing, with the
bayoue, the deputies Of the people ,deiberat.
ING on the affairs of the state laid the Iounda
ton of that vast fabric of despotism which
overshadowed all Europe. There is one i'm
difference between the formation Of
habits By al individual and by governments
The one contracts it only after frequent
repetitiou--a single instance fixes the habit
and determines the directions Of govern.
mcp,s. Beware then how we give a fatal
sanction to military insubordiuatIon. Re.
member that Greece had her Alexander,
Rome her Caesar, England her Cromwell,
France her Bonaparte, and that five would
escape the rock on which they split, We must
avoid their errors.

During the three years since the close OF
the war, the expenses Of the government
have been upwards of nine hundred mil,
Ii ms IF dollars In democratic times the
annual expenses of the government aver
aged scarcely one hundred millions. II
there had been democratic congress at
Washington, during the last three years, SIX
Luudrcd millions of dollars would have
been saved to the tax payers of this coun'
try,
Why? Human nature is the same thing
in all parties, says some one
That ia not quite true, becuse tdRatIcdt
human nature is reckless and devihsh, while
conservative human nature is staid and
steady and reliable But, for the sake Of
argument granted that what "some one
saws is true. Does that answer our assertion
that u democratic congress would have
saved two.thirds the cost at which the radi-
Gals have administered the government?
No!
The democratic policy would have re.
stored tho Union three years ago the demo
cratic policy would have abolished the
standing army of50,0OO men; the demo
cratic policy would have established no mil,
itary government, at au enormous expense,
over ten states OF the Union the democrat
ic policy would have erected no treedmens
bureau for the benefit ofcarpet. bagadventu-
rers and black lGzzaroni, TO eat out the sub.
stance Of the people; furthermore, the dem
ocratic policy would have changed the en-.
tire character of the internal revenue sys.
TEN. so as to enable the government to col,
lect its taxes by a far less complex and
costly machinery. Thus would the expenses
of the government have been reduced.
Now think Of it!
Is it not about tine that change Of pub
lie servants be enacted
Is il not shout time to vote in men who
viii have some regard for the public welfare
and who will labor to decrease, instead of
dsvsing schemes to increase, the burdens of
the national debtY

gain Of few thousand in Vermont. The
gain consists simply in the fact that few
thousand republicans who staid at home last
year have voted this year. That's all il
amounts to. No democrat in Vermont hat
gone over to the radical party. On the con
trary, good many radicals have come over

DEAN SIR: | address you rs a member Of the
committee appointed by the Soldiers and Sailors
convention lately held in New York.
In divers respects, and particularly as party
measures, deem it Of the highest Importance,
that an early and complete organization of the
democratic and conservative soldiers aud sailors
| il Illinois should be effected under the title Of
constitutional Guards" These gHe,i military
| organizations strike the popular Imagination
with magical and powerful force, know this
from observation.
If possible they should he made to comprise
the three military arms, viz Cavalry, Infantry
and Artillery, formed in ascending series into
companies battalOns, regiments hrirudcs di-
visions and corps Let one or moro Of these or
CARNATIONS he formed in each town, city or coun
ty in the State. Let each Congressional Dis
trct furnish Brigade or Division Of Infantry,
with proper compliments of Cavalry and AruI-
lcry, and let these organizations be rcpalcd
without delay to these Head Quarters.
The whole ought to be provided with sppro-
priste uniforms, which may be done at the cost
of ono dollar and bAlf per man.
A regiment of Infantry with due compliments
| "i Artillery and Cavalry, all uniformed, has NJ.
| ready been reported and an order recognizing
| Tue TACT published from these Head Quarters.

What Republican says of Grants Accept
anC0.

A republican writes to the Jersey Sta"
dqrd, and gives his reason why he cannot
support Grant. He concludes as follows:
Grant in his letter of acceptance, says dis.
tnctly that he has no policy. This is either
false or true. If false, we do not feel ncljn
inclined to support man who will falsiiy
himself to gain Office. If true, we cannot
support man, who, in advance tells US, 81
will take the oath of Office to support the
constitution of the United States, but | have
no policy my line Of policy must be sug
gested to me by my political friends
can respect man who has al opinion Of
hi. own, even though it may be different
from my own. | can respect man whc
darcs to act, though sometimes he does not
act right, but cannot respect man whC
has no fixed opinion, or who, if he has IN.
idea of right or wrong, dare not take the in
itiative and act out his conviction.

No Radiation in tho Army.


The radicals have admitted that the army Il
nearly twice AS large as il need be. II cost N,
| people moro than one hundred aud hity-six mil
lions Of dollars foT 1867, and Is costing nov
| eleven millions Of dollars each month. The army
numbe 90, 900 mon. There Is no nesd Of a mau
above 10000. But the radicals enter tho can't
paiKn refusing b. get rid Of the enormous cost Of
an army which they admit to be twice too large,
and TO support which they screw out OF the hard
earnings Of tho people eleven million dollars each
month. The senate passed bill reducing tho
army to 10000 men. On Saturday the house
referred the bill to a committee, which OF course
buried it for the session, for congress adjourned
without passing it. Every democrat fayors and
earnestly demands the reduction Of the army.
Bat we give neither the radical senate nor house
any credit for desiring such reduction.
There has been, and there is to be no re.
iuction Of the army, under radical rule
You might az well talk about reduction OF
government expenses Or the national debt
All that has been done in regard TO the
army,by the radical congress which adjourn,
"a, ad interim, the other day, is to increase
the pay of the officers. The pay Of the prl.
vatc soldiers remains rs before. The pay OF
the officers was increased so rs to make 1t
equal 10 gold. The poor privates have TO
pl. 40 with qreenbacks. There are only
two classes Of people that the radicals think
are entitled to gold--the bondholders and
the officers Of the army All other people
are entitled to nothing but greenbacks and
taxation. Instead of reducing the army,
the last radical congress proposed to increase
it by armng the negroes Of the south, The
expenses Of armng the negroes was only
about 2l2,000,000 That is n small item OF
radical extravagence. -Qpmy Herald.
The truth of the matter is There are
stationed in the FIVE military districts Of the
south, at this time, the following troops
In the first district, there arc one company
Of cavalry, four companies of artillery, and
tweuty.seyen companies Of infantry.
In the second district, there are four com
panies Of cavalry, three companies Of artiI
lery, and twentyeight companies of infant
| ~.
In the third district, there are two com
panies Of cavalry, two companies ofartiiIery
and forty.four companies ofihiantry
In the fourth district there are two com
panies of artillery and forty.two compane
Of infantry.
In tho fifth district, there are twelve com
panics Of cavalry and ninety.two companic
