An article by Col. Forney, written for a Lon
don newspaper of the 9th inst, is reprinted in
the Philadelphia Press. He discusses the prob
able nominations for the Presidency, and after
refusing to beeve--notwithstan the tenor
OF some of his correspondence either that Gen-
eral Grant DESIRES or that the Republican party
would think Of giving him, third nomination,
he names Messrs. Washburne, Blaine, and Nor
ton as composing the group from which the Re-
publican candidate is pretty certain to be So
lected, the very high position which Secretary
Bristow is now granted in tho estimation of the
people not having apparently dawned on the
London horizon. Nor does the Colonel think it
needful to mention Charles Francis Adams in
the Presidential connection. On this side the
Atlantic, we decidedly think both these gentle
men must be counted in tho list of probable can
didates.

The proposed lseduc,ien of the Army.


From the Ne,e Fosk Herald, Dee. ".
If the Democrats iii Congress- carry out their
PURPOSE to reduce tho army from 25,000 to 15,-
900 they will perpet,ate political blunder for
which the saving in expense will not be = com
pensation There is no first class power in the
world which maintains small AIN army ours.
France, with population of 3G,OO00OU haa a
standing army Of 100000 men; Great Britain,
with population of 80, 900, 900, has army of
225, 900; Germany, with population of Al 900 900
has peace establishment of 37i, 900. Even
our weak neighbor, Mexico. with population
OF only 5000, 900, maintains an army nearly as
large AZ ours il at present, tile Mexican army
consisting of %, ,3S7 mon. Our military burden
in time of peace is altogether smaller taM that
OF any other nation i'll proportion to our terri
tory, population and resources If there be any
reason why we should maintain all army at all it
ought to he at least as large as 1T Is at present.
III 1855, twenty years ago, under Democratic
administration. with jefferson Davis al Secretary
of War, the army consisted OF IL, 729 men, hay
in round numbers 10000. Ourpopuation at the
preceding census % 600, 900. Our p0pull
ton IN 1870 was about 40, 900, 900 ; and il our
army bore the same proportion to the population
at present that it did in 1855 it would amount to
about twenty three Thousand, or only two thors-
and short OF the actual number. But we have u
greater proportionate use for troops tlmn we
had twenty years ago. At that time our settle
ments had not penetrated through the whole re-
gon between the Mississippi Valley and the Ia
ciiic ceast. Our new settlements and mining
establishments throughout the vast region on
the slopes Of the Rocky Mountains require mill
tary protection against the incursions Of the In
dians and create necessity for corresponding
army. Twenty years ago the Mexican border
was not in state of chronic disturbance as 1t is
at present, nor WAS there the same necessity for
taking precautions against conflict of races in
the Southern States. Moreover, we had not
then purchased Alaska, which requires constant
military superintendence We quite agree will

New England dinner, thatit would be unwise t.
reduce the army below its present number

DON'T EXAMINE THE WAR RECORDS

Senator Bayard has new champion from
whose friendship he may well desire to be pro-
tected. THIS lis that blatant sympathizer with
the Rebellion, and hater Of everything that
tended to preserve the Union, the New York
Day Book. During the War, no newspaper at
the North was more emphatically "disloyal,"
in the proper sense of that term, and now it
cries out, with entire consistency, against
any examination of the war records " Of

Sun suggestion that Mr.. Bayards e war re-
cord" is not clean excite. its vehement lndlgna-
ton, and it demands that when ga first class

Beef-Steaits and HOW TO Cook Them.
The following is from the London Queen

A facetious friend declared that, although he
cared little for a stake in the country" he
liked steak in town. The sublime idea OF
beef steak IL by no means fixed. by travelling
across the sea it changes, il not its inherent
eence, at any rate Its phenomena or
outward manifestations, and presents wide
ly different features under various
skies In England the bean ideal is rnmp
steak, and the point" where a noble fringe
of fat encircles plump triangle OF lean, s most
highly esteemed. As to the thickness to which
these steaks should be cut doctors differ. A
large majority rule in favor of thick steak, bnt
intelligent and voracious minority declare
for thickness of half or ut most three quarters

The Board of Trades regular meeting takes
place this evening, and there should be a gener-
al attendance of members, in order that atten-
ton may be given to the proposition of erecting
a Delaware building at the Centennial. The
public interest in this matter is quite warmly ex-
pressed, and if the Board decides to take hold
and push it, there can he no reasonable doubt,
we think, that the building will be erected.
