SAN Francisco, Sept. 2.-The few scattering

Report of the Secretary of War.

One of the first recommendations of the
secretary of war, in his annual report, is
for an increase of the engineer corps from
200 to 500, for topedo service. He speaks
confidently of the efficiency of our sea-coast
defences, the torpedoes having more than
met the expectations of the department.
He asks for an appropriation of $17500
for next years surveys and examinations
at the mouth of the Mississippi. He also
asks. for the following appropriations
Notifications and other works of defense,
$2,044, 900; public buildings and grounds
and Washington aqueduct, $714,474 sur
veys, $4,000 engineer depot at Willett's
Point, N. Y, $4,000 office expenses,
S34, 300 improvements of rivers and har-
bors, S14,301, 130: total, $l7, 298,740. He
says the army was reduced to $4,000 men,
and they are more contented than hereto
fore, there being less desertion, while the
class of recruits now being received is su-
perlor to those formerly in the army. He
desires legislation authorizing him to en-
list music boys under twelve years of age,
and urges the establishment of military
band of twenty pieces for each regiment.

The actual expenses of the war depart

fiscal year ending June g. 1876, were SAL

The estimates for the military establish
men for the ensuing fiscal year, ending
June 30, 1877, are $33, 1852, 306; those for
the current fiscal year, ending June 30,
1876, were $50, ASS, 1863, being an increase
of 1903, 427. The appropriations for that
purpose for the current fiscal year
were 1921 ,404. The excess of the
amount of estimates for the ensuing fiscal
year over the appropriations for the current
fiscal year arises from the fact that expert
ence has shown the appropriations were
not sufficient to meet the demands of the
service. He recommends congress to APP
propriate some 100000 additional to enable
the war department to give an adequate
and practical exhibit of its resources at the
centennial, and concludes by saying, 81

coupled with desire to gain some undue
advantage could induce board of canvass
ers, or governor, to withhold regular Gre
dentials on such grounds.
The constitution and laws, to be sure,
designate the officer as representative in
congress- but the former instrument,
also, speaks of "members." For instance,
it Is declared that the senate shall be COM
posed of "two senators from each state,
but, in speaking of the house, 1t says that
it "shal be composed of members chosen
every two years" etc.-and it is, doubt
less, on this account that we always speak
of "senators' in connection with the SEN
ate wilhelm speaking of the honse, we
designate the representatives as "members
of congress" The trifling and natural
mistake, however absurd it may seem, has
been deemed sufficient ground to deny
Norton his credentials, to base a contest
on, and to cause a congressional investiga-
ton. Congress. however, has shown its
wisdom in temporarily admitting Norton to
his seat, pending inquiry, and it is to be
hoped that ii will not consent to defeat thu
will of the people and defraud the thirty
third congressional district of New York Of
its rights on so flimsy a pretext as this.

SPLITTING HAIRS.

At the general election, held in Novem-
Der 1874, Augustus Fallen was chosen rep
resentative in congress from the thirty
third congressional district of New York,
composed of the counties of Cattaraugus
and Chautauqua. Mr.. Allen having de-
ceased, special election was held, Novem-
Der 2, of the present year, to all the vacan-
cy, Nelson j. Norton being the republican
candidate and Charles s. Cary the demo-
cratic. The result was that Norton re-
ceived ten thousand seven hundred and
seventy votes, Cary rec eived nine thousand
one hundred and thirty-nine, one Flint
Blanchard seventy-two votes, and one Au-
gustus N. Lowry five votes, giving Norton
an apparent majority of sixteen hundred
and thirty-one. We say apparent" ma
joriiy, because, by splitting hairs, it is
claimed that he is not elected at all.
1t is attempted TO be figured out in this
way In Cattaraugus county, Norton re-
ceived four thousand nine hundred and
sixty-one votes for representative in con-
"gress," and Cary four thousand five hun
dred and twenty-five votes. In Chautau-
qua county, Cary received four thousand
six hundred and fourteen votes for "repre-
sentative In congress" and Blanchard
seventy-two votes; while the five thousand
eight hundred and nine votes polled for
Norton were for "member of congress,
and Lowry received five votes for ''ropre
sentative in the Forty-fourth congress.
Upon that state of facts, both Norton, Cary
and Lowry claim the election. The board
of state canvassers, who closed their labors
Friday, resolved that Cary did not receive
a majority of all the congressional votes
cast in the district for Representative"
and member of congress combined,
although he did for Representative in con-
gress"; that they cannot declare and Ger
THY that Norton was, by the greatest num-
Der of votes, regularly elected "a repre-
sentative in congress-; and, ignoring
altogether the claims Of Lowry. they de-
clined to declare that either Norton or
Cary was elected, or to give a certificate of
election to either.
The mistake made by the voters of the
district, or rather, perhaps, by the ticket
printer, was as natural as it Is trifling. 1t
is trifling because the will and intention of
the voter was as clearly expressed on the
ballot where the office was designated
"member Of" as where 1t Is called "repre-
" sentative il" congress. In common par
lance, both terms mean the same thing, the
former and incorrect one being the more
generally used. We constantly speak, or
hear, Of members Of congress, very rare
ly of Representatives In congress" and
only factious regard for technicallties

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

The opportunity of reading the message
of the president of the United States has
now been placed within the reach of all,
but its extraordinary length has probably
prevented that attentive consideration of its
details which document Of so much i'm
portance merits. Its greatest fault is its
length, and this might have been avoided
and yet allowed full discussion of the
various topics considered as we'll as, at
least, a passing allusion to other matters in
which the country is, just now, particular
ly interested. One of these omissions, and
very significant one too, is in relation to
the recent activity which has pervaded the
navy department. The public press has,
for weeks, been filed with rumors of war
based upon this very activity, and yet, while
these preparations are still in progress,
the message of the president, of length
almost unparalleled in such documents,
and the report of the secretary of the navy
are presented to congress and not one word
is found therein throwing the least posi-
BILE ray of light on the subject. Why this
silence If there was a necessity for the
naval preparations, the country is entitled
10 know it. If the government has been
badly scared and has, thereby, been led
into extraordinary expenditures, the "poli-
"cy of silence" will not long avail, and
the best course for the president would
have been to have made "clean breast
oft.
But these and few other things aside,
we can heartily commend the tone and
temper of the message and second most of
the recommendations therein contained. As
for the matter of recommendations, how
ever, General Grant has usually been
found" Excepting his San Domingo
scheme and his southern policy, his
recommendations have generally met
with a cordial assent on the part of the
people; and even those on the latter sub
iect have been, at times, tempered with
patriotism and true spirit of fraternal
feeling--but, unfortunately, his policy has
not always accorded with that spirit nor
been based upon the language of his recon-
mendations. The trouble with the presi-
