THE ARMIES OF THE WORLD.

At the present day the standing armies
70 the world are larger than they have
been since the great wars of the first
Napoleon, .f..-... ag..,.
The army of the United States now
numbers $1,000 men in all. For the ex-
tent of our territory this is the smallest
army in the world and we have reason
to congratulate ourselves upon the fact.
The cost of our army is 500, 200, 900, or
nearly $4,000 600 per 900 men.
The army of France has been fixed at
10000 men in the "active army" and
$4,000 in the passive" the latter being
named the National Guard Mobile.
Total, 100000 men available for war.
A contingent of loo, 600 men is annually
available to recruit the army.
The British army numbers about
200. 600 men. The bulk of this army is
at home, Ireland absorbing about $4,000
troops. Of the colonies of foreign
possessions, India takes the largest body
oftroops, the Dominion of Canada next,
Australia, next.
The Prussian army numbers about
| 600,O men. 9,s
The Italian hrsny now numbers 215, 0OC
men, and is very effective one. In
one of its arms, the Bersagaheri, or rife
battalions, it excels even the French
army, whose Zouaves were supposed tc
be the first light infantry in the world.
The Austrian army numbers abou
| 100000 men its cavalry is said to b'
very fine. The Government breeds il
| own horses, and thus secures good
mounts.
| The Russian army numbers abou
| 100000 men; it could be quickly in
creased to ], 200, 900 in time of war. I
spreads all over the Empire, from The
] Baltic to the Caucasus.
The Spanish army is small, not ex
ceeding $1,000 men; but is very vel
clothed and disciplined. It is also re-
] ceiving breech-loaders. ~ s...
The number of men maintained il
] the standing armies of civilized nations
is not less than $500, 900. All thes'
i vast numbers are snatched away from
/ useful industries and condemned t.
i idleness and vicious life, while the la
boring people are taxed for their sup
4 port and for the costly ornaments the.
require.

GEN. aRANT,s NoMINATIoN.

So far as Republican candidate for
President is concerned, there is NO need
of National Convention to harmonize
conflicting opinions, or decide upon a
choice. The nomination of Gen. Grant
has already been made not only in the
spontaneous and universal conviction of
the people that he is the man for the
hour and the place, but by Conventions
representing this sentiment. The Re-
publicans of twenty-five States have,
thus far, met in delegate convention,
and all, without break in the line and
with one acclaim, have pronounced Gen.
Ulysses S. Grant as their candidate for
the Presidency. When the National
Convention assemblies at Chicago on the
Goth of May next, he will be nominated
by reclamation, without . dissenting
vote.
An intuitive conviction Of the people
SO earnest and universal as is the popu-
lar sentiment in favor of Gen. Grant,
cannot be mistaken. The Nation recog-
nizes in this quiet, resolute, undemon-
strative but inflexible Soldier, who did
so much to save it in its hour of sorest
trial and need, those qualities of the
Statesman and the Patriot which are
necessary to bring back settled society,
law and order to the South; and give
enduring tranquility to the whole Re-
public, As strong as he is wise, as en-
ergetic as he is prudent, as resolute in
purpose as he is sagacious in judgment,
he does with certainty and completeness
whatever work he attempts to do, and
great as are the difficulties that lie in the
way of q permanent and happy Recon
struction, the people have an abiding
confidence that he will overcome them
and make the road straight and smooth.
No length of time can ever weary and
no obstacles can ever discourage his pa
tient perseverance and infexible force
of will, and however great is the crisis
that calls upon him for action, his buoy
ant capacity will rise, as it always has,
to the full height of the emergency.
His election will be as certain as is his
nomination. The ballst-box will ratify
the choice of the Convention, as the
Convention will express the choice OF
the people. s .1-af,s g..

terms, as we'll in political struggles as

KUKLUx KHAN

A correspondent of the Anti Slaverv
Standard, writing from Nashville, says
that the people of the North must have
by this time a pretty good understand
ing of the doings and designs of the
rebel offspring Of the defunct Knights
Of the Golden Circle, which is indigen-
Gus to and known throughout this State
as Kuklux Khan. Composed of men
who graduated from the rebel army in
all the barbarity required to be one of
the s:tChivalry !" and of those who had
neither bravery enough to take their po-
sition in the rank and file of either ar
my, nor honor enough to stay quietly
at home, but who went rowing over the
country, committing rhnrdersIi1d rupino
composed of such discontented and
worthless vagabonds of the late rebel
army and guerrilla bands, they are once
more at their favorite tricks. Taking
law into their own hands, they break
open jails and administer lynch justice
to prisoners; with anonymous letters
they serve warnings" on Union men !;
dressed in fantastic and ghosty habili-
ments, they ride over the country, heav-
lily armed, INDUCING in their choicest
sport-abuse of the negro, surrounding
his house in the dead of night, they
break down the door, dragging aim out
and whip or beat him near to death.
All this time the rebel papers latgh. Is.
it not laughable subject? OF course.
Still the rebel press ask the emignntto
take up his abode here, and, as soon as
he comes, not side with them in alltheir
diabolical doings, he is called 8 On
Radical" and marked out for heir
spleen.
The writer adds that Major General
Thomas is no sensationist; he is not
given to grapevine dispatches; he is
perfectly cool. That he has deemed it
best to lay the movements of this Kan
before his superior, is enough to cpn-
vince any one that the facts and danger
are not exaggerated. The public SAFETY
is endangered by this secret Rebel sr-
der, and the General Commanding
thinks the danger should be nipped IN
the bud. Our State authorities are un-
able to deal with them, and, if the Gov
ernor does finally Grill upon the United
States for help, these outlaws will find
themselves in the hands of one whom
they dread above all others. They met
him once before, and doubt very much
if they want to again.

MEADE RECONSTRUCTED.

The effect of actual contact with
chivalry, upon the various military
of the Southern Districts
has been, almost without an exception,
to render their RadicaIism intense.
Hancock alone was able to resist this
influence, and it may be doubted if ever
he did. so very successfully, were it
possible to arrive at his real feelings on
the subject. General Meade was any
thing but Radical when he assumed
command of his district, and his record
was of a character to excite fears as to
his course. The defiant temper of the
South and their openly rebellious
course has, however, had the effect of
reconstructing him into most fragrant
Radical. In commenting upon this
sudden metamorphosis, the Democrat
says:
His course for months has been in the
highest degree satisfactory to the loyal
men of his district, and his recent orders
contain the moot fragrant and undisguis-
ed Radicalism. For example, tho
Sheriffs elected by rebel votes under
the operation of "my policy" having
conspired together to prevent legal
election upon the new constitution by
resigning at time when the vacancies
could not be filled in season, the Gener-
al notifies them that they must continue
to act as Sheriffs under pain of military
trial and punishment. In the same
order, he notifies people who attempt
to control the votes of laborers or to
prevent them from voting by .intimida-
ton, that every such offense will be
punished by military authority, and
adds that he means to secure fair and
free election to every loyal voter. This
is the very essence of RadicaiisIn, and
it strikes fatal blow at the most cher
Iished institutions of Democracy. An
election without fraud, violence; and
intimidation, is utterly foreign and
hostile to the Democratic instincts. II
declaring for fair election, Genera
Meade makes public proclamation o
his Radicalism, and occasions anew thu
depression of surprise that every Gen
leral, no matter of what antecedents,
loyal and honest at heart, become
lconverted to extreme Radicafism a
soon as he is placed face to face witt
