The WAR OF THE "INSY AND THE
WOUTS."

More Rorgh and Tumble Work About the
Republican Oflce Holders In the Democratic
Commissions.
The resolutions passed at a recent meeting of the
Democratic General Committee calling upon the
different boards to dispace all republicans in their
employ and fill their places with democrats, Is cal
culated to create dissension In the the democratic
ranks.
Yesterday afternoon Timothy Desmond Alderman
Bergen and George Herman, VINO are sub-commit-
tee from the committee appointed by the Democratic
General Committee for the purpose of waiting on the
Boards, visited the City Hall and dropped into
the ONCE OF the Water Board. They found the
genial president, William A. Fowler at his post, and
proceeded at once to interview HIM upon the painful
subject. They wanted list of all the republicans in
his employ; furthermore they wanted the aforesaid
republicans to vacate-to get out. Mr.. Fowler
explained that he was democrat-that he liked
democrats; that he employed democrats far as he
could consistently; but there were some repub-
licans whose services he could not dispense
with until he could find democrats who
were as capable as they to Hn their places.
Mr.. Fowler said they had been going the list Of
employees and had discharged about sixty repub-
licans. This piece OF intelligence lightened the
hearts OF the committee and they then proceeded to
the office OF the Police Board. on the opposite side OF
The Police Commissioners were not in the most
happy mood, and were in no humor to be inter-
viewed.
Mr. Desmond proceeded to state that they wanted
st-a list OF the republicans IN their employ, and.
moreover, wanted the Board to turn these repubi.
cans out.
Mr.. BRIGGS president OF the Board, stated that
their request was out Of the question. The majority
or their employees were patrolmel, and how did
they know their politics. especially as they had only
been IN power for thirty days? He thought the
Democratic General Committee were little too fast
They would have to wait; they were in too big q
hurry.
Mr.. DEsMoND-some of you are thought little
shaky.
The MAYOR said he would not consent to have any
such list made out. 1t was not the courts busl-
ness. They were charged in radical papers
with being run by that commit ee. He
did not expect anything different from them,
but this proceeding gave color to the charges and
wanted them to understand that he would have none
OF 1t. AS TO the Board having shaky man In it he
wanted them to name him.
Mr.. VAN ANDEN, who felt that the 'shaky man.
meant him, snapped his fingers az the committee

REPORT OF THE SECRETARY
NoF WAR.

The report OF the Secretary Of Var
brings the expenditures for the year
ls59.70 below the appropriations for
the use Of the Department By $685.

ways, the Secretary has made COM
mendable efforts at systematic reduc-
ton of expenditure, whose results will
be developed in future reports. Our
regular army now consists Of 2,4ss
officers and e4,s7o enlisted men, Of
whom 1892 are engineer troops, etc.,
and 3l.l7S compose 10 regiments OF
cavalry, five of artillery, and % Of in
fantry, now authorized by law. The
academy at West Point has graduated
IS cadets as Second Lieutenants, and
admitted 65 new cadets. A personal
visi. to the school enabled the Secre-
tary to speak highly Of its efficiency
and discipline The Department
records show the burial In the national
and other cemeteries of 5000 persons,
victims Of the late civil war. No new
constructions for national defense have
been undertaken or carried on within
the year. The Department is still en-
gagged in selling off its surplus material
of war, Its sales Of old arms and ord
nance for the year amounting to $,-
GOO. 600.

Il the closing paragraph Of the re-
pot Of tho Secretary of the Treasury
occurs this passage:
The reduction of the national debt
already made has been advantageous
tothec0untry,no only In the particu-
lars indicated, but In other respects
hardly less important. There Is much
evidence tending to show that no other
event since the conclusion of the war
has contributes 90 much to the dinusion
Of republican opinions In Europe. The
spread OF thsis- opinions stimulates
emigration from Europe, and at the
Esame time prepares the way for the
establishment OF free Institutions on
that ccntlnents For, can there be any
doubt that the policy accepting the
debt rs permanent would retard emf
grafton from Europe, especially Of the
reading andSrehectlng classes? What
ever arguments may be adduced, or
whatever theories may be advanced,
the fact must ever remain that a public
debt Is q public evil. 1t Is especially
burdensome to the laboring Glasses,
and It is, therefore, In their Interest
to provide fol, the constant reduction
Of the existing national debt. 9

IRoy AND BIooD.-T This phrase,
"Eisen und Blut," Iron and Blood,
now exceedingly popular In Germany,
was made use of by Count Bismarck
at a sitting Of the German Parliament.
In an address on the general state OF
affairs, Count Bismarck said that it
was desirable and necessary to improve
the social and political condition of
Germany but that such improvement
could not be effected BY resolutions and
votes Of majorities or speeches Of indi-
viduals. but by "iron and blood"
The phrase. 1t however appears, Is not
original with Count Bismarck, but
was composed by Mosem, a German
lyric poet, who wrote "Blut and Essen
Machen Frei;" that Is, "Blood and
Iron are the True Liberators." Bis
marck, It Is also argued, has borrowed
his definition of a journalist, as being
ga man who has missed his vocation"
from Disraeli's description Of critics, as
"men who have failed In literature
and art" 10 ga

The INCOME TAx.-An interesting
question Is now before the Acting
Commissioner of Internal Revenue, In
reference to the income tax of $500 O
assessed against Brigham Young, as
trustee of the Mormon Church. 10
the above sum which was assessed
upon the income for 1868, has been
added a penalty Of $l9,5OO for non
compliance with the law. Young
alleges that his income is derived from
the voluntary offerings Of his people,
and consequently Is to be considered
rs a gift, and not liable to tax. An
other point IL also presented. Con-
gress at its last session passed a law
which relieved Shakers and other rell-
glous communities from the rigid con-
struction of the internal revenue law,
and allowed the usual drawback for
every five persons of such community,
instead Of only deducting 1t once for
the entire community. If the acting
Commissioner Of Internal Revenue
should decide that the alleged volun-
tary annual gifts made by the Nor
mons to Brigham Young, are to be
considered as income, the Prophet then
argues that he receives such gifts as
trustee OF the Church Of the Latter
Day Saints, and that he Is entitled to
have the legal drawback taken of for
every five members.

"USKSowS."- Silver weddings are
sometimes gotten up altogether for
effect. The old Indian chief, Winnie
lnucca, whose last wife he married just
twenty-five years ago, last week cele-
brated his silver wedding at Camp
McDermott. He accordingly notified
all the neighborhood as to what was
going to take place-as he expected to
make a big thing out Of it. There was
a goodly attendance on the occasion Of
the celebration-it was q big thing
and old Winnemucca was up to the
grand occasion. He sent n Of his
tuglemen to a tin-shop for a full set OF
"tea service" which he borrowed
from the tinker for the occasion, and
had it mysteriously marked on a card,
unknown" The dodge succeeded
admirably, as most Of the guests were
led to believe that 1t had been donated
BY some dear departed or live friend,
whose native modesty forbade him
owning up to such extravagant liber-
atty. The magnificent service has been
returned to the owner-so old Winnie
mucca t~elegraphs us-and, as 1t pays,
he says he intends getting up another
silver wedding next year, at another
camp. -.

A New REruBLIc.-The South Of
France, where the war Is not, is far
more ardent against the Germans than
tile North, where it Is. There was q
belief that the capture Of Paris would
end the war-that the provinces would
hold out 20 far. But 1t appears that
there is a project Of effscting n South
ern Republic, with Marseillaise as its
capital. This would probably continue
the contest. The probability is that
the Germans will spend their Christ
mas in France. We are now far In
December, and the siege Of Paris does
not appear more advanced than 1t was
two months ago. There is every pros
pect of Paris fighting 1t out to the last.
Her armament Is vast. Some idea of
the magnitude Of the fortress defenses
of France may be gathered from the
special report of General Won Zastrow,
now commander Of Metz, that up to
the present time 81 eagles, OIL field
guns. ammunition for more than IS
batteries, about 800 siege guns, &C
mitrailleuses, about 300, 900 rifles and
sabres, about 1000 military carriages,
large quantities OF unworked timber
and bronze, n valuable factory for
manufacturing gunpowder, etc., have
been found at Metz. The garrison, ~
we'll as the regular inhabitants, were
literally starved out, their chief animal
food for some time being half;starved
horses. At Marseilles, OH the contrary,
food is plentiful aud good, and ample
supplies pour in by the Mediterranean.
