The Democrats cannot afford TO bc beaten

All sensible ti2cns viii approve Of the
proposition TO Dismiss from tn army such
officers as are really suYcrfuous. The number
Of these unnecessary officers amounts, it is
said To over five hundred, AID the saving to
be effected by 4 scharring them will be
something like q million Of dollars year,
The country will gain both by the reduction
Of the payroll, and by the transfer of five
hundred men from the non-producing 10 the
producing class; and yet it must not be for
gotten that our relation to this class Of
public servants il very different from our r.
lauon to those Of any other class, or that our
obligations to them arc Of n much more
sacred nature.
But there is another branch of the national
service 10 which the pruning knife of re.
trenchmcnt could be applied even more pro.
ttably than to the army. Indeed, we are sure
that it III GIT better be Topped of altogether
While we arc busy considering what We
