REoRGANIzATIoy on THE ARMY.

REORGANIZATION OF THE ARMY.
NEW YORK, February l6.-A Lon
don dispatch says that the principal
points in CardWell's bill on the reOr-
ganizatiOn Of the army, which will be
brought forward for to morrow as the
great event of the session, are that the
purchase system be abolished, and
promotions be made by a fair system
OfseniOrity and selection. The horse
guards shall be removed to the war
office, thereby abOlishing the dual
government 50 long denounced.
The appointment of cOmmander-in-
chief shall be in the future limited to
five years, and he be the head of
discipline and patronage, only this
Is not directed against the Duke Of
Cambridge specially, but in the inter-
est of future discipline. The Depart
ment viii have a force always ready,
which will be fixed al 100, 600, with
strong reserve. The militia newly
organized is to work with the regular
army. Volunteers will be LETT as they
are, but required to give the war Of
fee guarantees Of their efficiency.
This measure was shrewdly designed
to head of an anticipated COnserva-
tive attack on the war Office.
The Radicals support the admins
tratiOn on that dangerous issue.
