THE New York EspresS last Friday
says: ''This Office of General-in- Chief of
"the Army is one Of the most expensive
"luxuries of an expensive army, and with
emo more real utility in it in time ofpeace
ethan are two wheels to a velocipede or
Five wheels to a coach" Then why in
the interest of economy and retrenchment
does not the Bzpress move to abolish it al
together7 Gen. Sherman, we suppose, is
the only obstacle, but he need not be inter-
fered with in any way. Congress might
leave him in the enjoyment of his present
salary for life and send the gentlemen on
his staff to their regiments. It would be
all the same to Gen. Sherman if, as the Ez-
press says, he is now only mere figure
head. The removal of the army headquar-
ters, whether merely ornamental or not, is
not regarded with much favor by the press
generally. For instance, the Cincinnati
Gazette wants Congress to legislate Gen.
Sherman back again as soon as possible.

INAFEw brief lines in our dispatches
yesterday morning, giving the details Of an
accident on the Baltimore and Ohio rail
road, there were recorded the deaths of two
heroes who went out Of life at their posts
Of duty, falling as calamity and nobly as it
was possible for men to fall Engineer
"Dan Perdom and Fireman Joseph Parent
"were instantly killed. They might have
"sayed themselves by jumping, but they
"died at their posts and thereby saved the
olives of the passengers. Perdom was
"found dead with his hands on the throt-
"tle." Such was the brief record but it
speaks volumes, and thousands and thou
sands have been honored with the applause
of the multitude, with monuments and
funeral orstions, who deserved far less than
they did of their fellow men. Perdom and
Parent-they are not very romantic or his
toric names, and one was q simple engi-
neer, earning, probably, seventy-fve dol
lars month, and the other poor fireman;
but they had within them heroic souls, and
they died as heroes should die. How many
of Us would have done what they did2

Submission. No such temptation or op-
'portupity to avoid the decision is held
g out to parties in the new arbitration act
(which the last Legislature granted

far as the form of the act is concerned,
tive may, with confidence, appeal to its
well-considered provisions, as comprising
"a perspicuous and comprehensive plan
''for the operation Of an efficient court Of

"the Legislature has been timely act.
Mercantile interests are peculiarly liable

Constructed. Men engaged in commercial
pursuits have frequent occasion to resort
"to some authoritative tribunal to settle

requisite to a complete remedy. The
merchant whose goods, in trGRsitH or in

If THE CAPITAL of the United States is
in trouble about its form Of government, we
may perhaps find some consolation in the
fact that the metropolis Of England is
afflicted in similar way. What we know
as London is composed Of a number ofsmaIl
boroughs, all Of which have different form
of government 1t is proposed to change
all This by extending the corporate
limits Of the city proper so as to
embrace the outside districts. Two or
three bills providing therefor have been in
troduced in Parliament, and it is thought
the change viii be beneficial one. Under
its operation, we are told, the power Of the

pecially Of the mayoralty and aldermanic
power, (which in London, as in all large

curious that while the power of the people
is thus being enlarged in London. the prop
osition which seems to find favor with

In view Of the foregoing facts, we feel
compelled to declare that the Hon. ]. Am
bier Smith, who contests Mr.. Burgess
nomination, has rendered himself liable to
the punishment which usually follows from
repeated violation Of the discipline and the
authority of the party from which he has
been the recipient of dignity, honor and
place. It is to be hoped, in view Of the fact
that he pledged himself to one, at least of
the editors Of this journal to abide
by the decision of the Congressional
executive committee, in this unfortu-
nate affair, he will now reconsider his
determinatio to continue as q candi-
date and withdraw his name. He must
acknowledge that Mr.. Burgess cannot
be expected to withdraw, because he is
sustained as candidate by every authority
to which an appeal can possibly be made,
and that the interest of the party demands
8 sacrifice from him of his pretentions to
candidacy. He must know that votes cast
for him while another Republican candi-
date is in the field will divide the party
strength and serve to insure q victory for
the Conservative ticket. We believe that,
remembering the repeated favors bestowed
upon himself and his family by the Re-
publican party, he will not hesitate to
make this sacrifice, and we call upon him
in the name OF justice and in the name Of
party discipline to withdraw before the as
surance becomes apparent or positive, as
charged by his enemies, that his present
course is deliberately intended to aid the
election of Ex-Governor Walker.
