REDUCTION OF TIE ARMY,

Ihc action OF Congress in providing
for gradual reduction Of The army hiss

policy, Nothing Is more forcIga to his
feelings Hnd his wishea thaa tue
continuance ofa military establishment
beyond what Is actually needed to meet
the imme liatc demands OF the country.
Tho moment Lee SURRENDERED, General
Grant issued orders having for th=ir oh.
iect the dlsband dncnt Of tho arny IS
1apIdly As the troops could be returned
to their honee. In less than ten days
after johnson surrendered 10 Sde1maa, 4,
every regiment Of troops that conlu be
spared by the exlKencies Of the service
was under orders to return h1nc for dis-
bandment, and these orders were pronp,-
cd BY desire On the p1rs Of Gcncral
Grant to reduce the e1penscs OF the gov
eruneut, to restore the men To civil h'c,
and TO terminate, "a rapidly as was con-
sfs:ent with safety, the further use Of mill
tary fotce in c1ecntiDg tao laws. When
General Grant IVES Acting Secretary Of
War, he redueed the military service at d
its e1penses 10 the utraoss limit oil Tie
power In his hande-sbc reduction being
equal to tn millions Of dollars per an

With all the extraordinary efforts put
forth by the Universal Suffrage Black
Republican organs Of the State. soon
after the election, to secure the legal adj
vertising, the glittering reward could not
be reached. What pity the Law re-
quired the consent of the Senate before
any one newspaper could be designated.
If it had not been such, our neigh

body took trip to Nashville and

We are sorry that our neighbor should
be made to feel badly, but think the law
an outrage upon free people, and would
no. have thought the iberality OF these
Liberals would permit their touching the

truth, our nsighbor gets hungry, and
doubtless runs short of small change,
