the score OF public safety; but on what ground
can thsy be defended here The disbanding
Of our army would bring as much reliefto the
psOpl9 az ths extinction OF half or twO-thirds
OF opr public debt. There has never b4en a
time since we were an Independent nation
whom We had so little need OF an army,
except for service against the Indians, as We
have h present. We have million of
trained veterans engaged in the pursuits of
peaos. We have paid and pensioued them
with Suoh generous liberality, that any new
call for their services would bring them
throngirg and swarming to our standards,
with such slscrity that all our roads would be
d9rkened by the muI.itudes. ten days
call wculd bring together an army of a hundred
Thousand disciplined men at any place that
might bo appointed as a rendezvous. Foreign
nations know this; the South knows it; aud
this sonaa Of the prodigious forces which we
can any day extemporize, is a pretty good
guarantee that we shall have no occasion to
call them ont. II would be perfectly safe to
dismiss every soldier except those employed
against the Indians.
One OF tha best features Of General Buffers
plan ia his proposal to reduce the number and
The grades Of the army officers. He says that
seven milion5 year may be saved by this
mFsns alone. He would have the expensive
Office Of General abolished when General Grant
vsoste9 It; The almost as expensive 9fice Of
Lieptensnt General as soon as General Sher-
man Taostes chat; and he would have three
major generals as the highest army officers,
and small number of brigadiers. This re-
lu0tiOn 10 equally recommended 10y good
senRs End hy economy. Why should we main
tsiu .greSt hierarchy of officers suited to an
nnwisldy army of million of men, when
I've nty or thirty thousand would be more SOL
diera than We need? If our officers are dis
missed into civil life we SHOULD not thereby
lose them, any more than we do our disbauded
common soldiers. They will be ready at their

have been done in proving to them that We
the inheritors Of their vast possessions, we're
not wholly unworthy.
But we will be told by the hOpeless-and
certainly by those most interested in telling
it-that a new measure will bring in new men,
who, because they are men, will plunder the
Government and defraud the Iudians, aud
therefore things had best remain as they are.
We dissent wholly from this conclusion, be-
cause we have living faith that with the in
coming administration IL will not be taken for
granted that because men have spent their
lives in seeking office they are therefore quail
fed to fill ii; but that, on the contrary, an
attempt will be made to ascertain whether
our progress in Christianity and civilization
has not produced men who can be trusted.
We would 60 back still further, and this in
view of the unfaithfulness and Incompetence
of so many politicians, and say that the first
thing to ascertain will be whether man is
really incompetent; for II we find competent
man, we find also one who, during the days
of his apprentice ship, learned, as a part Of
his acquiTements that in the long run the
most money is made by being honest.

yks New Presidents Salary.

NJ rpHs W2 ~ z. NOTt0.
IL lbs a21ly part Of the winter the Times
broke ground IN favor Of raising the salary of
tbs rev President to one hundred thousand
dollars, and II kept calling attention to the
subject by persistent, Jealous advocacy. 1t
claimed 3i the time. that its articles met
with wide snG favoring responses from other
Republican journals in all parts of the ceun-
try, Sinoe Ghe distrust and dissatisfaction
which haVe grown up between General Graut
and tins Republican leaders, nothing more is
said Oh This subject. and it seems to have
dropped quite out OF the public cOntempla-
tiOp. 70 js now so late in the session that
nothing Will be done on the subject, and if
tbs salary IL not raised before the 4th of
March, il cannot be raised at all for General
Grants bs2eft, az the Constitution forbids
any iDCTsa5e Of the Presidents compensation
during his t9Tm.
Yyhy does not the Times revive and revamp
rs arguments, and press them home upon
CgrgTc2s ba@o-e it is too late If they were
souLd in December, they can have lost
nothing Of Gleir force. II the subject was
worth ths strenuous, persistent urgency
which was dieplayed then, the Times and its
8umBIous oosdjutors in this movement ought
not 70 dGssE5 good cause. But We shall pro-
Eably hesr no more of it. Before General
Grant had begun to lose favor with the Re-
publicane, il was popular thing to advocate;
ing his salary now than they would that of
Hoystio Seymour if he had been elected.
COngIsss3 has done no one thing this winter
which General Grant has recommended, or
which he would naturally like to have done.
de recommended the transfer of Indian
sfsHs TO the War Department, ana his
recommendation has been slighted. He
wants the Tenure of-Ofioe act repealed, and
he has not friends enough in the Senate to
pass bill Sor that purpose, although the
Ssnsts is almost unanimously Republican. 1t
is not probable that a repeal could even pass
the House, if the bill were now to be proposed
for the irst time. 1t passed that branch of
Congress early in the session, before the
present State of feeling had grown up. On
every reo6nt occasion when a speaker in the
House has intimated General Grants approval
as q reason ior the passage of q bill, he has
ba61 Tsbuked by some member for introducing
sn irrelevant consideration. Instead of the
alsority TO please a new President which one
shOnld naturally expect of the party which
hsg just elected him, he is treated with cold
nezs and distrust, and his known wishes are
Csteatstiously dtsregarded. OF course, NO
Republican journal will do SO unpopular a
| thing 81 TO advocate an increase Of his salary

HoT 10 Conquer the Iudians.

BroHl he ". T. Tribune.
The time rapidly approaches when we must
adopt some new plan for managing the In
diang OF the Plains-that is, If the massacres
which MaFk every month, week, and even
every day Of the year are to be suppressed.
Tbs necessity for devising a remedy for the
Indian difficulties is greater now than it has
been in any former period of our history, be-
oauae, with large addition to our population,
and with the extension of two lines of railroad
into the heart of their hunting grounds, COL
liEiOns between the two races at many points,
and often simultaneously, are inevitable. That
our troops have learned to converge upon
their villages, with great or even little loss,
ard shoot down or scatter all who oppose, is
60 far fTDaa being remedy that every victory
adds 10 the Indians desperation. What this
esspeYstion hiss become, aud what is to be its
character in the future, may be gathered from
the ciIcumatapce, ii we may trust the ao-
counts, that in the battle in the Valley of the

General Buffers Speecb on Tie Army

General Buffers Speech on Tie Army
From the ". Y. World.
IL is fair to give even General Butler his
due; and we will not withhold our just praise
and admiration from his excellent speech ad-
yocating great reduction of army expeneea.
It Is one of the felioties of our local position
that we are exempt from the necessity OF
maintaining great military establishment 10
guard against the aggressiens OF powerful ana
ambitious neighbors. We are separated from
all the great military powers by a broad OCEAN.
Canada on the north Of us aud Mexico on tbo
south are so feeble and interior that they
Would never think OF attacking us. For thS
preservation OF local order the militia OF the
States is aroply sufficient; aud If any unox-
pected emergency arises, the militia of all tas
States is subject to the call OF the President,
either to put down insurrection, repel invE-
son, or for any other legitimate purpose l0r
which an armed force may be required. EE~
cept TO man our forts on the seabOard and for
service against the Indians, We have no more
use for an army than nations will have Ia th9
millennium. Aud yet our army is costing rs
at present an annual sum exceeding the whole
expenses of the Government previous TO the
war.
why should the country bear this heavy
and needless burdeni The nations OF Europe

TIE STORY OF ToMBsToNE.-In Sc
Guided corner Of one Of our city cemeteries
there is modest little tombstone which has
attracted much attention at various times,
among visitors, from the simplicity and
touching beauty of its inscription. Upon II
is the name of q female, her age, and the
date OF her death, and verse OF the hymn
'Slccp in Jesus" There Is story con-
nected with this which may prove lntc-
resting.
\ few wears before the war commenced,
a Young girl of respectable parcntagc, who
had been so unfortunate as to have been Sc
duccd, came to this city and went into
house Of ill fame. The miserable existence
she led rs an inmate preycd upon her mind
so that her frame, which was rather deli
cate, began to give away, and consumption
set in upon her. Day by day she grew
worse, and finally she sent for physi-
clan. AS Providence would have if, Il
man was called i'll whose great profes-
sional skill WAS equallcd by his deeds OF
Christian bcneyolencc, and who to-day is
worthiy accounted one of the best men
in Richmond. The poor girl, sick at heart
as well rs in body, was attracted by his kind
ness Of manner, and told him that she
felt that she would never recover,
and expressed a wish to 90 where
she could prepare herself for bet
ter life. The good man, with the assist
ance Of clergyman, obtained an asylum Tor
her, and she entered upon a new sphere OF
life. She attracted the attention of all who
saw her by her great piety, and in course ol
a year she died the death of sincere Chris
tian. Among her last requests was to have
Il verse of the hymn "Sleep IN Jesus" put
upon her tombstone. Her kind friend &C.
ceded to her request, and the little tomb
stone in Hollywood Is the one under which
rests the unfortunate girl who was brought
by kind Providence to SO happy an end.

TIE DEAD AT MALVERN HILL.-It is Il
pleasure to state, after due inquiry, that the
report in regard to the dcsccration Of graves
on the Malvern Hill battlefield is greatly
exaggerated, if not entirely incorrect. The
fight took place on the land of Mr.. Crew,
whose son now owns the farm. The latter
gentleman requests us to state that por-
ton of land adjoining an old family burial
place was given the day succeeding the bat
tie as burial-placc for those who had been
killed in the battle. As the troops were
still cncamped upon the place, the bodies Of
nearly all their comrades were deposited in
the spot designated. A few, however, in
expectation of speedy removal, were bu-
ricd near road through the farm. Most Of
these 0hcre are probably two bodies re-
naming at this spot) were removed in u
week or two by their friends Besides,
there was long trench opened to receive
the bodies Of the Federal soldiers killed on
the field. These are believed to be all taken
up and removed to the National Cemetery
near by. These were all the graves known
to be on the place. But there have recently
been discovered five other separate graves,
in field, having no mound or mark to dis
tingllish them. The manager on the farm
has been instructed to note the places, that
he may point them out to the committee
when they go down to remove them. This
is believed to be a true and full statement of
the case as far as "Crew's farm" is the bu-
rial-placc of the Malvern Hill battle.
