A Democratic meeting in New Orleans
had three hundred vice-presidents. The
meeting must have been like Artemus
Wards military company, all officers. How
these Democrats do love office. A Demo-
cratic Utopia would be where every one
could hold an office and vote as many times
as he pleased.

:" The Confederate General Forrest lost
100000 by the war"
Not only this. He lost the esteem of all
honorable men. He lost a place among
respectable and humane persons. But he
gained the reputation of being the most
brutal and bloodthirsty rebel who took mp
arms against the governments desperate
before whose atrocities those of Nena Sahib
fall into insignificance. And he has gained
place as leader in the Democratic party,
which welcomed him apprOVingly in its
National convention, conferred upon him
high place in its councils, and selected him
to nominate its candidate for Viee-Presi-
dent, who proposes to declare the legisla-
ton of Congress null and void" and
trample that body into the dust. The
butcher of Fort Pillow is a most appro-
pirate character to inaugurate the new era
Of revolution with which the Democracy
threatens the country.-Albdny Journal.

Report of Quartermastsr General

The annual report of the Quartermaster
General has been submitted to the War De-
partment The balance OF the appropriation
TO the credit of the department undrasn
July l, 1867 was $40 600, 900; the def
cheney appropriation for the fiscal year of
1867 was sl2, 01O,00e the amount credited
TO appropriations on 4ccouut of various sales
was 5000, 900, making total SUN subject
TO- the requi>ltious OF the Quarterinaster
General of $1,000 900 The expenditures
balance of appropriations Tor 1868 ansl the
appropriation for 1869 of l3, 100000, nearly
5 10000, 600 available for the fiscal year OF
1869. The present number of officers in the
Quartermaster's corps has been found Who'll
ly Insufficient to discharge its duties and the
Quartermaster General argues that true
economy would lead TO an increase, as the
duties are such as require officers of e1peri-
enee In the varied business Of the depart
menr. The Operations connected with the
settlement of the Southern railroad accounts
are treated of at length. The total debt OF
these roads for material purchased and inter
est upon it is SIS, 500, 600 The payments
to September 30, 1868, had amounted to
| less than 81, 900, 600 Sixteen railroads have
paid in full. The report treats of the national
cemeteries Their number is now seventy
two and reports have been rece we'd from
three hundred and twenty local posts or pri-
vate grounds. The total number of graves
is 3l6 233.of which the occupants of l45-
764 have been satisfactorily identified. TIE
amounts expended for sites, care, transpo1-
tation and all purposes connected with ihe
| work to June Both, 1868, was 81 60O, 600
The estimated expense for the next year Is
$500 900. The Quartermaster General rec
ommonds the employment OF disabled sol
diers for superIntendents and all other ser
vices about these grounds He thinks that
, the States should not be applied to for mon
uments, but that the government should
consider the whole care as sacrel trust.
Fifteen rolls of honor have been published,
five are in the hands of the printer and six
more will complete the number. They con
tain list of graves of nearly two hundred
thousand soldiers, with the record OF the
place whsre the remains where found, and
list of nearly one hundred thousand graves,
which are as yet unknown, but which exis

of everything found with each body and OF
all that could serve to help identify have
been preserved. The wooden headDoards

The Condition Of Spain.

The procrastination of the Government
of Spain is submitting the question of its
future character to the immediate decision
of the people has been productive Of evil.
The latter have become impatient, suspl-
clous and restive.. 4 political procession
paraded the streets of MalriI three weeks
since bearing an immense placard, upon
which was inscribed Respectful Appeal TO

ton OF Reyerdy Johnoon's singular course
IN Englani, that he is acting under private
Instructions given by the President, with
whom, 1t IS said, he corresponds, regardless
Of Mr.. Seward. The report is that, under
the Impression that the Democrats were
going to carry the country, the President
instructed our Minister to pay his court to
the Tories and shun the Liberals-in 4 word.

The insurrection which broke cut in Gu
ba recently, progresses as though it was 90
ing 10 be successful, Notwithstanding the as
surances Of Lersundi, the Captain General,
that the insurgents had been dispersed and
the insurree,ioa ended The Captain Gen
erals statement, however, has little weight
with those who remember that it was accom-
panied by an appeal for aid from the Uni
ted States in the shape of arms --latest ad
vises state that part of the Government
troops had surreniced to the insurgents and
that the latter held nearly all the country
from Puerto Principe to Santiago De Cuba.
If this be so, the efforts of the insurgents
have been marked with greater success than
WAS anticipated, and to all intenls and pur-
poses they control the larger cities The el-
forts of the Spanish government to produce
the impression that the insurgents were
wholly composed of the lover classes, dis
contented people, criminals and slayes, have
proved unavailing. The assurances are Civ
en- that they embrace every class, from the
lowest to the wealthiest and most inGuen-
tial people of the island, while their contin-
ued success, and the inability OF the govern
ment to meet the exigencies created by their
efforts, prove conclusively that they are thor
oughly organized and disciplined. From
present appearances, it Is extremely doubtful
whether the Spanish government, in its
present unstable condition, will be power
ful enough to crush the insurrcction. Thus
far, all we have learned of the struggle leads
US 10 believe that the Island is upon the eve
of a change, with a decided tendency to-
wards pure Republicanism

Report of Adiutant General

| The annual req ort of the Adjutant Gen
eral has been made to the Secretary of War.
On the 30eh Of September, there were 49,
74l men in service, besides 4, $40 men in the
engineer. ordnance, and other special bran
ehes of the service. 4 large number of dis
charges were granted during the year. Re
cruiting for infantry and artillery was sus-
pended April 3, 1868, except in cases of old
soldiers desiring to enlist; and on the 24th
of July, 1868, instructions were issued
prohibiting all enlstments or re-eulistfl ents
except as musicians, OF any men in either
of these two branches II il added that to
still llfurtherreduce the expenses and strength
of the military establishment, the detach
ments at the reerui ling depots have been
reduced as much as possible and the schools
OF instruction have been suspended No re
cruiting of any kind but for cavalry has been
going on since the end of last July, and
there are only ive stations for recruiting in
this arn of the service The regiments on
the Pacific coast have, as far as possible to
avoid expense of transportation, beeu sup
piled with recruits obtained in California
The strength OF all the coiored regiments in
the service is nearly up to the required stan
dard. The Adju;ant General renews the
recommendation which he made last year
namely. that the men be eHl.s,ed for FIVE in
stead Of three years He further recon-
mends that Congress authorize the enlist
ment OF boys over twelve years, as musicians
with the consent of their parents The,
must now be sixteen, and are too old to be
gin training, especially for drummers To
meet contingency which he regrets has Of
late several times arisen, he recommend,
that the President be empowered to drop
from the rolls of the army any officer who
deserts and cannot be arrested f0rcourt mar
ual within three months Of the time OF de
SeItion. 1t is also recommended that the
Superintendents of the national cemeteries
be placed on the footing of enlisted men.

Twenty-frst Congressional District.

Twenty first CongroSsional D!sLrlc5'
BY the published proclamation Of Gov.
Geary, We see that he has refused l., accredi,
a member OF Congress from the Dist dis
trict-the returns from that district being
SO incomplete that the Governor is unable
to decide who was duly elected Two sep
crate certificates, one certifying that Hon
John Covode is elected, and the other that
Hon. Henry d. Foster is the lucky man,
have been issued hence the Governor has
very properly thrown the responsibility of
deciding the case upon the members Of the
Forty-irst Congress, who will have the evi-
dence presented to them. The reason Civ
en- for the issuing of certificates of election
to both candidates, by the return judges, was
the alleged informally in the holding of the
elections in several of the districts, in FAY
ette county, and the receiving of large
number of illegal votes 4 late Harrisburg
dispatch in referring to this subject says,
that in the Investigations III the Twenty
first Congressional District (Eion John Co
vode's) made since the election, it has been
discovered by the friends of Mr.. Covode
that large number of the Spowden patu-
ralization papers, all dated the 9th of Oc;o-
Der, 1868, and within Jour days of the e!ec-
ton, were voted upon by parties in Fayette
county, and By parties who have not visited
Philadelphia during the year When it is
known that it requires the presence of the
would be voter to be in Philadelphia when
the certificate is issued, the fraud is made
more glaring, and the course of Hon. Judge
Read meets with merited praise" If these
frauds can be sustained, the Hon. John
Covode will retain his seat in the next Con
gress-it not, then the Hon H. d. Foster
will be the next representative from the
