Is It Necessary:

The army bill appropriatts $27, ,7ol, :
500. Ii is a question whether this
large amount is necessary, especi-
ally at the present time, when the
country is being called upon for ad.
ditional taxation to the amount of
$50, 000, 900 or $40, 900, 900 q year. The
troops in the Far West, who are the
pioneers of civilization, are engaged
in laborious and dangerous duties, and
fully earn the meagre pittance doled
out to them at long intervals. But
throughout the Southern States there
are thousands of troops who are not
needed there, while in and around the
departments of Washington there are
hundreds of well paid officers who
perform no military duty whatever,
but who all draw their liberal pay and
allowances with true military regular
ity. If these men are not needed in
the Indian country they should be
discharged from the service. 1t will
require something moro than mere
"estimates" to convince sensible peo.
pie that 1t requires $27, 600, 900 yeal
to support an army of only 1000
men, in q time of peace. Now is the
time for retrenchment, but this Army
Appropriation bill is a very poor
sample of it.

The Hoiston river, at Knoxville,
Tenn, was yesterday 40 feet above
low water mark, and rising at the rate
of 8 inches per hour. In the afternoon
it had risen to within five feet of the
great flood of 1867. The weather was
threatening, bat u further rise was ex-
pected from the Upper Holston and
French Broad rivers, even if it should
not rain, The gas works were inun-
dated, several heavy slides and washes
had occurred on the railroads, two
spans of the bridge across the Hiawasss
were swept awav, and the mills in all
directions had stopped running.

man among them who led the patriot
fatlcrrs who is not unknown to fame,
Jamas Otis, of whom John Adams said,
when he haraugued the people on his
favorite topic, his words seemed to be
like fame of fire, carrying all before
1t. But what was the special grievance
that brought out James Otis to battle
for the cause of freedom ? 1t was the
writs of assistance, the search warrants
issued by tive Crown, to empower OIL
GERS of the Crown to cater private
dwellings, and stores. Yet we have
seen iu the last few years Federal Off
GERS entering into stores of the first re-
sidents Of the land, seizing private
books and papers, not to further the
intent of the law, but to glean from IN
formation which might be employed
to extort money for spies and imfor.

WAsHINdroN, Feb. 25.-The scene in

New York, Feb. 25,-General Ira

had been introduced which could in
any way show improper familiarity

which was exhibited i'll the Cathedral

sci for.the plaintiff announced that they
would prove Mr.. Becchel confessions
by disintercsted party, and named

had rested their case, and this pledge
had not been fulfilled. they had good
reason for not placing Mr.. Carpenter

what these reasons were. If lac had

Senator lSay ards Efforts 40 Have
Them Increased.

The present winter has been terrible
one all over the country, On lanl as well
as water, and the experience Of on SEA-
going peopic-rough aud dangerous at
most times when away from anchorage--
has been increased IN port during the
know that our Senator las not been un-
mlndf,l OF tho trials to whica tins lse-
full class of our people have been put
close within our own State.
At tunes during the past Two months
the Delaware River has been one field
OF ice from Philadelphia TO beyond the
Capes, and even the Break watel has not
afforded protection from its grinding ef-
fects apon the hulls of vessels.
The safest and best harbor on the Del
| aware is afforded by the Chr.stiana. Any
vessel that got within the mouth Of this
river vas safe froui ali accidents By wind
| Q. ice and was in an excellent place TO
procure supplies. But the Christiana is
| sadly in need OF attention, and unless it
receives it, the growing commerce Of our
city must experience much discourage
nent.
New Castle has been made the rendez-
vous Of large number Of vessels during
| the dangerous season just passed: and
one steamship which was cut through by
the ice was barely saved from sinking
opposite the wharf. A steam tug was
sunk ia about ten fatholus Of water.
Her crew was saved. Other vessels mar
rowly escaped destruction from the i'm
nense fields of floating ice. The piers
at the harbor being already crowded
with vessels 30 that there seemed to he
no room for the protection of others.
| This was the state Of the case; and
Congress should not hesitate TO at once
remedy as far us possible the danger
which increases every year as our com.
mercc grows. We need greater protec.
tion.
To meet this need Mr.. Bayard has
presented to the Senate Committee on
Commerce, amendments to House Bill
/ Ii. H. WulNh ItCclNtu but up
proval Of the Committee, as follows:
For the construction of an additional
pier in the ice-harbor at New Castle
Delaware, $4,000. For the Improvement
of the harbor Of Wilmington, Delaware
$4,000. For the continuation Of tn,
construction of the United States piel
at Lewes, Delaware, $4,000.
The bill as coming from the House
contains only $4,000 for Wilmington
$4,000 for Lewes, and nothing for New
Castle. We hope the efforts of our Sen
ators will prove successful. They know
how necessary these improvements ar,
and they will do everything in thei
power to have the appropriations made
How extremely silly it is in Congress
. to abandon these necessary improve
, rlents and vote many millions to pay a.
army that is not needed and TO pay laz
army officers who are idling away thoi
time liz every part Of the country. Their
Lever was a time when AN army was S
. littlo needed. We eyp9ndcl twent

and another twenty millions sill b
thrown away on an army next year, q

Mr.. Hoar confcssedly went TO New
Orleans to make out case for Kellogg,
Grant and Sheridan, and as the facls
which he found there did not support
the case which he desired to make out,
nobody was surprised to find that mis-
report contained far fewer facts than
false deductions. Nor was anybody
surprised that Mr.. Hoar should pervert
many of the facts given in testimony
before the special committee by per
sons to whom the taint of anti-Repub.
licauism might adhere. But tits little
remarkable that Mr.. Hoar should, fol
the sake of gaining very faint coloring
of party advantage, ,discredit and falsely
state the facts of the United States cen
sus According to the census of 1876
the nun ber of white males in Louisianl
twenty-one years of age and older was
81, ,O68 and the number of colored male:
of similar ages 81, ,9ls-a majority of 15s
whites. Mr.. Hoar, in contempt Of the
censes, states the number of colorec
males twenty-one years and older al
81, 121, thus figuring out colored ma
iority in that year of 55 colored votes
Whether the white or the colored peo
pie of Louisiana had in 1870 a majorit,
of adult males ranging from 60 to 15l
| is, in every aspect Of the question,
small matter, and this is just the pitt
of our criticism of Mr.. Hoar if he la
wilfully falsified the facts of the cen
sus.
