Promise vs.. Performance.

The platform adopted by the kauicsi
Convention at Chicago, vigorously re-
solves that greater economy should be
used in expending the public money.
That resolution pledges the party to
abandon its past extravaganza. The
country has been looking for some evil
deuce of reformation. Retrenchment
in important particulars has been ex-
pected. As usual, the performance has
fallen wofully short of the promise.
We have q standing army of fifty
or sixty thousand men. 1t is not need
ed; it is not even required to continue
Southern subjugatiOn. Its reduction
has been anxiously awaited. Both
Houses of Congress have agreed that
the reduction ought to be made. They
have not made it. They could not agree
upon, the details. They could not de-
termime what officers onght to be re-
tanned at full wages, what should go
upon half pay, and what should be dis
pensed with entirely. Congressman
had their favorites. Favoritism has
defeated the reduction.
Furthermore, the members were swell
tering in the heat. They wanted to go
home 10 leok after their elections. They
wanted to get upon the stump and "save
the country" some more. The question
of reducing the army goes over until
next winter. In the short session then
10 be had, it cannot be settled. This re-
icra it to the next Congress, so that this
important measure ofretrenchment can
not be consummated in less than
eighteen months. What is the conss'
queucei Merely trifling debt Of forty
to ffty millions year. That's all. On
ly the cost of year of Democratic Gov,
ernment. A small superauous outlay
that will make labor toll little harder,
aud poverty pinch little closer, and
enable straps aud buttons and brass to
strut and shine as heretofore, for the
delight Of this independent and intelli.
gent people, who SO dearly Glove the
military"

Important Com mittee.

In the proceedings of the meeting OF
sympa,hizing friends held at the Intel
ligenccr Office on Tuesday night, men
ton is made of the appointment of "a
Committee on HALL" This Committee,
it is sad to think, has special reference
to the editor of the MtelIigencer, who
since the Grafton Convention has con-
stantly needed the supervision of his
friends. The report that he was obliged
10 eat with a spoon, to prevent his
harming himself with knife, lacks
confirmation.
