The Baltimore Gazette says that the only
man who ever honestly expressed the real pur-
noses of the leaders of the Radical party was
the late fl. Winter Davis, who, when the
question was first mooted, insisted that the
blacks should be invested with the right OF
suffrage, avowing that the Radical party want
ed mot intelligence but numbers. y If that
party could to-day carry all the elections in the
South without using the black man, it would
leave him DISTINGUISHED forever

The New York Journal of Commerce COM
ments quite severely upon Gen. Grants alb
sence from Washington on New Years Day,
and his failure to pay his respects, officially,
to the President of the U. S. 1t thinks it is
an unfayorable indication Of the temper of Gen.
Grant. and not in accordance with propriety or
good Taste A Washington correspondent
writes that the General keeps aloof from
President johnson, not from political motives,
but because the President, in the Stanton i'm
broglio. impugned his veracity. That "im
broglio" was one of the most unfortunate events
in the public life of Gen. Grant.

The LOCALITY OF THa TAX sALSs.-we
understand that In few days the Corpora
tion Attorney will give an opinion on the
legality Of the tax sales, which will reafiirm
the conclusions ofhis former opinion, namely:
that the act of Congress Of May 20, 1894, re-
quires that public notice Of the time and
place Of the sale Of all real property for
taxes due the corporation OF the city Of
Washington, shall be given In all cases
by advertisement iHisrted in some
newspaper published in said city, "ouce In
each week for at least twelve successive
weeks" and advertisement for the desig-
mated period in a supplement folded In
weekly newspaper or In q daily paper "once
a week." but not fastened or connected with
the paper, is not compliance with that part
OF the law requiring the notice to be inserted
IN some newspaper once in each week for
twelve weeks; and II the advertisements are
not In accordance with the law, the sales
will be void-confer no title, and create a
useless expense.-Stdr Of yesterday.

The REDUCTION OF FORCE IN THE WAR
DEPARTMENT. = Secretary Rawlins, having
returned to tho city, was at his Office yester-
day, and had for time under consideration
the subject OF the reduction Of the clerical
force In his Department. II seems that Gen.
Rawlins' recent order has been mlscon-
strued, as Ii Is not the intention Of tho secre-
tary to make the order sweeping In he char
acter, but merely 10 dispense with the ser
vices Of clerks not actually required 10 keep
up the public work. The law authorizes the
employment Of 65 regular clerks in the Ad-
jutant Generals ONCE, but as this number Is
not sufficient to keep up the work, ISL en-
listed men were detailed for service In that
bureau, besides 6s clerks who were trans
ferred from the Provost Marshal Generals
office when that Office was discontinued.
The enlisted men are paid out Of the general
army appropriation bill, and the transferred
ones out Of the appropriation to collect and
drill recruits.
In the Surgeon Generals Office but sixteen
clerks are authorized by law, with which
number II Is impossible to keep up the busl-
ness OF the office, consequently eighty-one
hospital stewards were detailed TO duty In
that office and paid out OF the general army
appropriation bill. As the appropriation
bills have been cut down the Secretary finds
II necessary to dispense with the services Of
fore called upon the head Of each bureau Of
the Department to furnish detailed report
Of the number Of clerks authorized, number
employed, work upon which they are en-
gagged, &c.
In the Quartcrmaster Generals Office q
number Of temporary clerks have been en-
ployed for sometime past, but as the Secre-
tary finds no authority for the employment
Of such clerks In that bureau, they will be
discharged.
The Commissary General Of Subsistence
reports that his force has been reduced 10
the number authorized by law, and the Pay
master General reports that his force has
been reduced to five below the number au
thorized. In the Engineers Office, Judge
Advocate Generals and Ordnance Offices the
reduction will not be very large. The Offices
most affected by the reduction will be the
Adjutant Generals and Surgeon Generals
but an effort will be made to retain as manJ
as possible In each office, as they arc all re
qulred TO transact the public business. II
the Surgeon Generals office, men who have
had some experience In the study OF anatomy
and pharmacy, arc required, the business
being of such q nature as TO require tha
knowledge, hence hospital stewards wer
detailed. The pay Of these enlisted men, In
Guiding Communication Of fuel, rations, &c.
Ia about 81 900 per annum, which Is In ex
cess OF the amount allowed for the supper
| of each soldier. All enlisted men who's
services can be dispensed with will be honor
ably discharged the service and not assigned
to any regiment, although the Department
| has the right to do so. Tho order designat
ing the number In each bureau to be dis
missed will be issued on Saturday or Mon
day.
