REDUCTION OF THE ARMY.-The act
to reduce the army has gone into effect,
but as yet we are without data as to the
full provisions of the bill From the
Oregonian of Saturday we get wha. is
supposed to be the outlines of the bill
passed. It provides for reducing the
number Of infantry regiments from forty
five to twenty five; that the regiments
broken up are to be mustered into 9TH
ers, SO as to give the maximum strength
to those retained; that the Pay, Commis-
sary and Quartermaster's Departments
arc to be consolidated, and the new
branch called the Supply Department; !;
that the ordnance arm of the service is
to be broken up entirely and all its off,
GERS mustered as officers of artillery with
a chief of artillery and bureau in the
War Department, and that there shall be
a reduction of about one-third in each of
the staff departments. Late dispatches
say that the reduction will leave fully
FIVE hundred officers with no duty to per-
form. As no new officers are to be
mustered in, the Committee who reported
the bill thought that by death: discharge
and resignation the present force of off,
GERS would in three years be reduced to
the average requirement of the service.
1t is believed that this reduction of the
army will diminish the expenses of the
War Department at least S1O,00O,00O
per annum.

starved to death.

THE FRANK1NG PRIVILEGE.

The Cincinnati Gozette, in an article
on the franking privilege. says:
Upon inquiry, We find that one
fourth of all the printed matter that
passes through the Cincinnati Post-of-
fice. is franked by members. OF Con
sress. No estimate can be made, be-
cause no record is kept. of the mum
Der of free letters handled, but 1t rs
enormously large.
Now, look here, Mr.. Honorables,
isn't that pretty steep? The recent de-
velopments regarding the abuse OF the
franking privilege has set the people
to thinking, and they are rapidly reach
! ing the conclusion that the frankine
privilege-or rather the abuse OF 1t
it becoming public nuisance. Per
haps our bump of perceptibility is de-
fcient, but for the life efus we can not
see why a few dozen of NJ. C.'s should
monopolize one fourth of the Posta
department, at a frightful cost to the
public.
The law of Congress authorizes
members to frank their own private
letters, and documents printed ty or
der of Congress.
In the face of this plain provision
Hon. John Lynch gets his speech pub
lished in a New York paper, By hi
o,en order, and thereupon franks acop,
thereof to every postmaster in thu
United States. Avery good thing fol
the paper, which, by this means, scat
ters its prospectus broadcast ovel
the land without expense of postage
but not such a good thing for the pos
tai service. Hon. T.. Van Trump doet
a like favor for the Columbus CRISIS
and does not even ask that paper to
return the compliment by affecting iti
readers with one of his speeches; al
of which is very clever.
Furthermore, the Cincinnati p. o
officials can testify that certain circu
lars sent out by one Conklin, a claim
agent, passed through that office unde
the frank of 'S. f. Carey, NJ. C."-
the immaculate Sam. T. Carey-th,
Werkingmen's man! Conklin issue'
circular short time previous to tn
October election, setting forth the rea
sons why he, as Republican. support
ed Mr.. Carey for Congress. "Yo'
tickle me, and Ill tickle you.' Ii
conclusion, the Gdaette truly says;
We are satisfied that it would b
cheaper for Congress to vote Ss,076
year to members, for postage, than t.
continue the franking privilege. Th'
law, if strictly observed, is bad enough
The law, withits abuses, is unbearable

MIR. STRADER'S ELECTION TO BE
CONTESTED,

By the document printed in anoth
er column it will be seen that Mr.
EgglcstOn has served the legal notice
on Mr.. Strader that he will contest
his election to the House of Repre-
sentstives. He has been brought to
this determination by developments
since the election, in addition to what
was known Of its irregularities at the
time. The public have seen much ev-
Iidencs that the Democratic party had
Ideterlnined to carry the State election
lin Ohio by every sort IF means that
could be procured. 1t will easily be
understood that there is no locality in
the State to which they they would be
more likely to direct their extraor-
binary resources than to the First
frauds was entered upon, this city
district would be a principal point.
We are informed that many indi-
cations that the election in the First
District had been carried by import
ed voters came from the boasts of
persons in various places in Ken
lucky and In Northern Ohio, who
were so exubersnt over the victory
they had carried that they could not
keep it to themselves. There has
been so much of this that it has be-
come necessary to inquire if we are
to elect our own representative, or if
he is to be representative of Ken
lucky.
The irregularities specified in the
conduct of the election in certain
wards will strike the reader as
making The verification of the election
very questionable. Especially was
the conduct strange in the First
Ward, where fourth judge was lille
gally put on the board as Demo
cratic convenience.
In this affair we desire that the in
tegrity of our elections shall be vim
dioated without regard to its cOnse-
quences to persons or parties. The
people can not afford to have their
elections overcome by fraud. The
general conviction that they are so
would be fatal to the existence of the
Nor can the party in
power afford to set aside the certified
election of a member without clear
proof that it was fraudulent. And
We are confident that they will not
The developments of foul play, and
the general dlstrust they have cres-
ed, have made it necessary that this
election shall be legally inquired
nto. 1t will be tried and decided by
he evidence. If Mr.. Strader was
egally elected he will get his seat.
Il not, he will lose it. We wait for
he facts, and shall make up our
alignment upon them.-Cm. Gazette.
