Are Army Officers mere Hirelings

In speaking of Mr.. LOGAS's Army Lill
and Of the probability Of the Scnste's passing
1t as hastily as did the House, the Tribune
argues as follows
:, In fact tLis bill is generous to the ,uperAuous
officers With whom he service /, encountered Wa,
supoSee, for whom his employer h. wOrs no
longer, Moud not consider him-ti wei u. cd "a PAID
up IN iull aud YEAR, salary IN addition -
Let us teko Mr.. GREELEY's estimate of
what an officers position should be, and
imagine the result if that estimate were TO
be accepted by the people at large 1t
places the officer on the same footing s the
day latorer. Forgetting that most of these
men entered the service in their earliest
youth, devoting themselves exclusively 10
the profession with no other expectation
than to be employed during life or good be
havior regardless of the truth that there is
no better way in peace 10 be prepared for
war than TO have just such experienced men
ready tor an emergency, the bill says, in Mr..
GREELEY's words: ave are done with you
Cor The moment the contract has ceased
10 lie profitable to the Government only that
moment the Government withdraws, and the
employee is discharged.
Suppose the officers who are not mustered
out by this bill should take Mr. GREELEY at
his word and assume the place of hirelings,
with all the advantages as well as the dis
advantages that belong to the hireling class
One Of these advantages is the right to leave
the service Of their employer whenever that
employer needs them more than they need
him that is to say. when the people have
all the profit and the officer all the risk in
short, to resi- Pn whenever they lose more by
remaining than by going. A war breaks
out and the hireling, or, as Mr.. GREELEY
rails him, the employee SAYS: "If | am
killed my wife has nothing to live upon ex.
cept a miserable pension of $50, for which
she must beg like dog; and my children
will starve. | have gotten out of the Gov.
eminent all can get without personal dan.
ger, and now is good time to leave and 60
into some Other business that pays better"
Perhaps the officer avals himself of another
privilege of the hireling, and prefering to
work for those who lay the best, selects
come such crisis as that which occurred at
Fort Sumter, Fortress Monroe, Fort Jeff6r.
son, Fort Taylor, or Fort Pickens, to identify
himself with rising political party. Could
cur distinguished contemporary find words
sufficiently strong TO characteri2o such con
duct ? And yet docs he not make such
course almost just fable by the interpretn-
tion lie puts upon the contract by which
these officers entered the service of the United
ktAtesY

Tue St Domingo campaign in the Senate
still drags its lazy length along, occupyin time
which might be devoted TO more practical ques-
tions On Friday novel style Of argument was
introduced in the debate, in the shape of collec
tion Of vegetable and mineral products of St.
Domingo, among others a lump Of salt from the
salt mines Of Neyba. The mine from which this
salt was procured has been all along one of the
discordant elements in this st. Domingo matter.
The Spanish Government, when in posses sion Of
the island, gave title 10 this mine to New
York company, and this grant was confirmed by
the CABRAL administration. The agent of this
company in st. Domingo was Mr. DAVIS HATCH,
citizen of Norwalk, Connecticut; and as the pos
session of the mine was Of primary importance to
the success Of the annexation scheme BAEz i'm
prisoned Mr. HATcH, and then declared that the
grant under which he held the mine was illegal.
Mr.. liArcH was subsequently sentenced to be
shot, which sentence was afterward rescinded, on
condition that he should leave the country.
Instead, however, Of obtaining his liberty,
which would have been fatal to the plots of the
annexatonists, Mr.. HArcH is still in confinement
II appears that Mr. HAMILTON FIsH, on the 18th
of Janusry last, instructed our consular agent in
-. Domingo Mr.. RAYNoSD II. PERRY, "to use
his efforts to procure his release, and to extend to
him such good Offices as you can exert in his be-
halE' In reply, Mr.. PERRY writes to Mr. Fish
from -. Domingo city, on the sth ult, as fol-
lows; " The communications relating to Mr.. DAVIS
lIATcH, now confined at Azua, have been attend
ed to. wrote NJ. NJ. GAUrIER, the Secretary of
State, and lac replied in a very unsatisfactory
manner. / have requested the release Of Mr.
HATCH several times since my arrival, and the
Government promised to comply with my re.
quest, but they have kept their word no better in
this matter than in many others" These e.
tracts are from official documents furnished to
the Senate by the President on the lst inst. aud
on Wednesday last.
In the face Of such pratuitous ins'4it to our
Government, the action Of Admiral I.ooR in bul.

On occasion ofthe treaty negotiated with the

dollars from the funds Of the State Department
to be distributed as presents among the Turks.

years OF solemn meditation on the snbject, to re.
ciprocate the compliment by making present to
the American people in the shape of ten thou.
sand dollar Turkish carpet for the of the White
House. tis, however, not intended to be per.
sonal gift to the President, as the Turks fear that
his excessive delicacy in such matters would take
offence at the proposition. The carpet is destined
