A measure will be introduced by Mr.
Randall early in the session, cuttino

the most earnest effort of the army rino
10 secure Its defeat 1t is claimed BY the
Democrats that the standing army before
the war. $4,000, was enough for all pur.
poses when the frontier was more omen
and exposed than now, The building of
The Union Pacific Railroad and the rap;d
settlement OF the frontier States have
done much to do away with the need of
an army. 1t is deemed by disinterested
military authorities that 10, 900 men are
ample for all practical purposes. The
army cost last year in the neighborhood
OF forty millions. The reduction of the
army by 40 per cent. will thus be NET
gain to the Treasury to the amount of
sixteen millions. The reduction if
carried out in the same ratio as to officers
will throw out 400 ornaments upon the
cold charities of the world. The posi-
bility OF the passage of the bill by the
Senate ordinarily would not be of the
best, but in view OF the fact that the
House ID set upon the high road to econ
omy, the Republicans can hardly allow
themselves to be placed upon record in
opposition to so wholesome a change.
As matter of course all sorts of infiu-
ence will be employed to secure the de-
feat of this measure az the army ia at
present the asylum of the sons of rich
and influential families. There is now
fully thirty per oont. more officers in the
service than are required by the number
OF men composing the rank and file. The
army ring has for long time SO manipu-
lated matters that favorites are detailed
on special service at Washington, while
men out of rank are assigned to the Far
West and other disagreeable duties. The
House proposes to break up this system
OF favoritism, cut down the army and
make what remains do full service,

It's we'll to WOO, 'tis well to wed,
For 50 the world hath done
Since myrtles grew and roses blew,
And m0rBiug brought the sun.
But have care, We young and fair
Be sure ye pledge with truth;
Be certain that your love will wear
Beyond the days of youth.
For II you give not heart for heart,
As well as hand for hand,
You'll find you've played the unwise part.
And built upon the sand"
lis well to save. it's well to have
A ao0dly store of gold.
And hold enough of shining stuff,
For charity is cold,
But place not all your hope and trust
In what the deep mine brings;
We can nos live on yellow dust
Unmixed with purer things:
And he who piles up wealth alone
Will often have to stand
Beside his Golfer chest and own
tbs built upon the sand
tbs good to speak in kindly guise
And e0othe whera'er we can;
Fair speech should bind the human mind,
And love link man to man.
But stop not at the gentle words;
Let deeds with language dwell;
The one who pities starving birds
Should scatter crumbs as well;
The mercy that is warm and true
Must lend helping hand
For those that talk, vet fail to do,
But build Upon the sand"

LAwRENUE BARKETT.

BY Barrett was last night eompli-
mented by an immense audience, largely
representative Of our most cultured peo-
pie, and, we need hardly say, proved
himself pre-eminently worthy the
honor. Without a superior upon the
English-epeaking stage, he never fails
10 meet the anticipations Of his most
asnguine admirers; but there are char
9cters into which he enters with
greater love Of his work than others-
Characters that are his special pets, sig
niiicent Of pointed phases Of life, stand
ing as types Of good or evil fortunes. of
nights and depths Of human passion,
misery or happiness. One of these is
the character he portrayed last night
with 20 subtle an insight into the very
soul OF ShakespeaIe's creation'as to make
'ihe counterfeit Presentment" seem re-
a!ity. We place his "Shylock' with
his "LeaT," "Hamlep' and "Riche-
lieu" and regard them as productions
unsurpassed in the annals Of the stage.
Tonight he plays Orchard III,u char

NASHVILLE, February 12.-New bills
in the senate: By Mr. OvertOn: To
more efectually detect incendiaries; au-
thOriZiDg magistrates to institute a full
investigation as to the origin of fires i'm
mediately after they occur. By Mr..
Ragland: To amend the criminal laws
in relation to grand larceny; ordered
printed. The senate bill prohibiting
public officers from tippling was dis
cussed at length on its third reading. 1t
was advocated by Messrs. Hodges and
Logan, and opposed by Mr.. Wade on
constitutional grounds. The bill was re-
jected. The senate bill to establish q
board of medical examiners, consisting
of five physicians from each division of
the State, was rejected, Messrs. Ellis,
Boyd aDd johnson alone voting in the
atfirmative-these gentlemen all being
doctors. The senate bill 70 punish any
attempt to bribe State officer to resign,
also to punish any stats officer for re-
signing OF account of a briOe, was report
ed adversely By, the Judiciary committee.
MIR. Logan made strong speech in
favor of the measure, in which he re-
ferred to the Hobbs scandal, and de-
nOunced the action of Hobbs and Dun
can in severe terms. The bill passed.
In the house, petition was presented
from the citizens of Rutherford, praying
for the passage of bill for the relief of
SolUent debtors. By Mr.. Gardener: A
resolution, providing that on and after
next Monday all bills shall be considered
on their second reading, and no rider,
by way of amendment, be allowed on
the third reading. There was consider
able debate on the bill authorizing the
receipt of past-due coupons in the pay
ment of one-half the State taxes, at the
rate of sixty cents on the dollar, which
was before the house on its second read
ing. Mr.. Finlay made speech against
the bill, arguing that it proposed to allow
holders of the bonds to speculate on the
of the State, while the small
ax.payers would receive no benefit
from the measure.
The evening session and part Of the
forenoon were devoted to the bill, which
was finally rejected-98 to "a.

MINORITY REPORT NUMBER TWo.

Mr.. Cooper, also a member of the judiciary
committee, presented report, in which he
states that he is opposed TO repeating the law
allowing as much as ten per centum per an
mum TO the creditor for the use of money. His
opposition is based chiefly upon reasons con-
nected with the crisis now upon us. He be-
lIeves II TO be a wise policy IOf the State 70 ix
a rate OF interest beyond which the lender
cannot charge. II the rate is too high by law,
II falsely educates the public mind. FOO many
suppose that, because the State allows q GER
tain peTcentum to be received, they can make
that amount Of profit on the use OF money
and that money Is worth that much. SO by
false education we establish fictitious values,
and strut round in stills only 10 fall. In times
fully prosperous, ten per centum per annun
would be TOO high, and the rate could be
changed without producing "A shock, but,
as facts exist at present, to turn about aud
say that no more than six per cent shall be
received would, in his Judgment, be to deal a
dangerous blow at the business relations Of
the people. should a rate Of irterest be estab-
nshed that is less than tie actual value Of
money, the result would be that the borrow
ing class would be injured by having to pay

sonal interests are understood to be al
lied with the Central Pacific railroad
company, whose officers are among the
strongest opponents of the Texas Pacific
here. Their opposition, however, has q
very greedy origin. They are only OPP
posed to it because they cannot control
the construction Of the western half.
The Texas Pacific bill in the house side
of the capitol is still in the hands Of the
subcommittee, and 1t is very doubtful
when it will be reported. The commit
tee is composed Of thirteen members,
but there is one vacancy, occasioned by
the death of Alvah Crocker, of Massa-
chusetts. The following members are
known to favor the bill: Messrs. Sy-
pher, Killinger, Houghton, Wells and
Staudiford. The following are I'M
changeably against it: Messrs. Sawyer,
of Wisconsin, chairman; Williams, of
Michigan; Corwin, of Illinois; M'Dlll,
of Iowa, and Neal, of Ohio. The other
two members, Messrs. Barnard and
Creamer, doubtful, with probability of
their support for the bill. Should they
divide, the committee would be a tie,
and the member yet to be appointed for
the vacancy would have the casting
vote. This would place new and very
great responsibility upon Speaker

NEW ORLEANS, February 12.-In the

to appoint committee of three to draw
up plan of compromise to be submit

each member binding himself, by oath, to re-
frain fl ON independent action, in his repre-
sentative capacity, as regards the Hahn house,

On motion, all the resolutions offered
were laid on the table. A motion to go

being intimated that something import
ant was to be brought before the caucus
relative to adjustment.
