General Taylor was an officer Of the regular
atmy; but he had entered ths army from oivll
life; he had large interests in Louisiana, whioh
brought him into constant relations with the
most ferious and instructive aspects of civil
life. Even General Scott received his earliest
influences, from tTeatises not on Infantry Tao
tics and Cavalry Drill, but frem Blackstone
and Coke upon Littleton.
General Grant, still com paratively young
map, was educated at West Point, and passed
at once from the Academy into the field. With
the exception of a few years of his life OF
which it Is not necessary for us to speak more
particularly than to say that even his most
ardent supporters have never pretended to
assert that their experiences were Of kind
likely to develop in him any special fitness for
public Office or any extraordinary claims upon
the confidence Of his fellow-oitizens, General
Grant has been nothing and knows nothing
Of the world save as soldier. If we may
once more use an exactly descriptive epithet
without being misunderstood in regard to
the meaning we desire TO have put upon it,
General Grant is "by caste" soldier, and
only soldier.
His conduct in regard to the Office upon
which he is about to enter is precisely what
might be expected either from a soldier of
deep aud dangerous ambition, determined to
avail himself OF the forms of the Government
oOnfded to him for the purpose of subverting
its foundations and establishing a personal
government Of his own, or from soldier Of
henest intentions but limited civil capacity
who finds IL impossible to conceive Of and to
adjust himself to the profound differences be-
tween the methods by which executive sutho-
rity is enforced and maintained in civil and in
military life.
We leave Il to those who are more directly
interested in the fate Of his administration as
the responsible authors Of its existence just
now to decide which explanation is the more
accurate. When once the secretaries of the
various executive departments shall have
been "assigned to duty by command OF the
President" the country in general will have
both keener interest in knowing and better
facilities for ascertaining the exact truth on
this point.

Army Reform.

From the ", z. Tribune.
We have usuallysfound General Garfield OF
Ohio 30 sound thinker and 80 wise legislR-
tor, that our surprise fully equalled our regret
at finding him reported as saying, last Friday,
in the House, that
"Many of these men whom the amendment
OF last winter would strike from the rolls of the
army have known no other duty for twenty
years; their whole lives have been spher0a into
another thing TO turn them adrift in their old
age, with nothing to fall back upon but their
poverty and their good names, with no profeH.
sion, and perhaps no special aptitude 10 enter
upon one say that la equity there ~ a reason
In this thing, and am willing to stand by the
justice OF that reason "
Here General Garfield, il we understand
him, plants himself distinctly on the proposi-
sition that certain army officers shOuld be re-
tanned in commission, not because they are
needed In the service, but because they need
the pay, and could hardly ger ON without it.
In other words, the army is regarded as a
gigantic sOup.house, to be kept up to the
present standard because certain officers could
not otherwise make a living.
The injustice OF this position is placed in a
strong light when we consider that these Off
GERS were educated at the nations expense
not merely provided with an education, but
paid iOr taking it. When il was finished,
tney were at perfect liberty not to enter the
army, had that been their choice. But thev
chose TO accept the rank and pav of army
9ncers, and to enjoy them until they could do

Universal ExtrayG GgaHce.

From ne 80. LOHts Republican.
Only few days ago the telegraph informed
the country that Grant had begun to make
inquiries in relation to the frauds committed
on the revenue, and that IL was his determi-
nation to reform that branch Of the pablo
service. This certainly must have been graft
flying news TO the taxpayers OF the country.
But we need not only suppression OF fraud
and peoulation; for, great rs these are and
have been, the extravaganza that now per-
vades all branches OF the public service is
equally burdensome and pernicicus in its in
fuences. Our Government o'day is the most
expensive on the globe. The estimated ex-
pense for the two houses OF Congress alone
for the coming year is So, 800, coo, more than
enough TO build our bridge across the river
or railroad from here to Galveston. This
entire sum is expended upon the members of
Congress, excepting only about SIG 600, which
is used for the Congressional Library. Of
this sum over $3.50, 900 is for the benefit OF the
sevepty-two Senators, or about SIC, 600 apiece.
How this amount can legitimately and honestly
be expended is a question for the taxpayer.
The Congressional printing costs over 81 400
000 certainly nice round sum. The balance,
SO, l70, 600, is used by the House of Represen-
tatives, the se-called popular branch OF the
Government. Thus the public funds are
squandered Is II astonishing that under
such circumstances the national debt, instead
Of decreasing, actually increases, despite the

tional politics on foundations as broad aud as
secure as were those laid by jefferson and
jackson. The tone and temper Of the peopls
require such new party organization, which
shall ignore old party lines and be- free from
old party oorruptions. The circumstances OF
our public affairs, both domestic and foreign,
are favorable to il, and General Grant himself
has the prestige necessary for it's successful
accomplishment. President Tyler tried to DO
this thing, and he failed, because the people
were not prepared for it. President Johnson
also tried It., and he failed because he had NOT
the requisite personal prestige. The oPportu.
nifty is now offered, by ooncatenation OF gIeat
events, to General Grant, and as ne resolves
70 history AZ a Jefferson or a Jackson, or as
Tyler or an Andy Johnson. The initial step
is involved in the Cuba question, and General
Grant should be prepared to give it an early
and prompt recognition.

are in duty bound 70 keep doing so, whether
we need their servces or not. We dissent.
Understand that We presume the laborer 10
be worthy OF his hire. We would pay the
officers not because they need, bat because
they earn their wages. We do not know that
there are too many now on the rolls of the
army, though we believe there are. Bat, be
they many or few, we insist that they are TO
be retained, II at all, because they are needed,
not beoause they are needy. A different rule
would degrade the service and dishonor those

enormous taxation impovsrishing the oouu-
try When the nation wac out Of debt, and
the national exohequeF was filled to over
flowing, such extravaganza might have been
pardonable. IL is different now, and inevita-
bly, leads to financial ruin. The expenses Of
Congress for the fiscal year Of 1866 were
"a, 204 600. Al the time, this was considered
enoi nous and unprecedented. In the short
space of two years, however, our radical legis-
lators have succeeded in increasing the ex-
penses 81, ,096, 900. II the increase continues
in the same ratio, the entire taxes collected
will soon be needed to defray the expenses of
the National Congress. II we compare the
estimates of 1869 and 1851, we discover a still
more startling fact. In 1861 the appropria-
tion for the members OF Congress was
81, as 96l. This was the first appropriation
made after the commencement OF the war,
and far surpassed any made under a De-
mocratic administration. Compared with
the appropriation OF the fiscal year 1859,
IL sinks into ipsigni6oance. Since 1861 the
increase of the cost of our National Congress
has been So, SSl ,039-surely wonderful aud
rapid increase. Is this the promised economy
of which the radical newspapers and politi-
clans said so much before their advent to
powerY However, If we look back to the
early days of the republic, aud compare the
expenses OF Congress then and now, we will
notice still more remarkable contrast. The
cost Of Congress for ten years, from 1892 to
loOl, WAS only 1Ii0Io, $40. In Other words,
the expenses of Congress for ten years then
were hardly more than one-third OF the sum
now required to support the national
Legislature for one year. Are not
such facts calculated to astonish the
peOplef But these vast expenses of the
national legislature are not all paid by the
people to their legislators. Every State
has State Legislature, which, OF course on
smaller scale, reflects the condition of affairs
in the National Congress. In every State we
find cities and counties governed by still
smaller legislative bodies, and here also the
condition of affairs is the same. Extravaganza
is the order of the day. Economy is unknown.
Is not this condition an evil as great as fraud
and pc oulation9 Fraud and peculation are
demoralizipg in their influence; 80 extrava-
gance. Fraud and peculation impair the ma
tional credit; 80 extravaganza. IL it not under
such circumstances, one Of the most undenia-
BILE evidences Of general corruption, that ex-
travagance, instead of decreasing, daily grows
more enormousY How shall the vast public
debt be paid, If the money collected is use
lessly squanderedf Will not universal
crash finally be the result
