A STANDING ARMY.-A late Wash
ingtou telegram 10 the Cincinnati
Commercial says that "oue of the plans
OF the Southern Republicans, which
has been determined upon by the
caucus committee, is to propose tue
increase of the standing army to
100. 900 men," Under ordinary cir
cumstances, correspondent who
would attribute such design to auy
man or ret of men III Congress would
be considered u luuatic. The Chatta-
nouga Convention even did not get AZ
far as this. 1t made summarized
statement concerning the White
League. AM intended TO supplement
it with an earnest Call for "mere
troops" but this was struck out upon
the recommendation Of Senator West
Tue army now consists Of 25, 900 men
OF all arms, strong enough for AL legiti.
mate purposes. If all the organiza-
tions in the service were recrnlted up
to the maximum, the rank aud file of the
army would number As. 900 men, which
would be the largest number possible
without creating new regiments. There
is no prejudice more deeply rooted in
the American mind than that against O
large standing army, and it is not to
be presumed that such q monstrous
proposition as that mentioned by the
Commercials correspondent il seriously
entertained by any one."

party had no existence. Now mind, the
charge of the Record was that Graham
tried to carry water on both shoulders, by
seeking the nomination from both parties
at the same time, and then they bring
forth the afhdavits to sustain the charge,
when the time set forth in the afidavits Is
two months previous to the organization Of
the new party with which he is accused of
soliciting a nomination. How now stands
the case. In law it would be called an
abb. As it is, / call it stupendenous
blunder on the part of those who have al
lowed themselves to be used to cover up
the greedy personal motives of the Record
editors, in their unrelenting warfare
against Graham, with view of again get
ting at the official teat. Mr.. Graham Is
charged with having done something at a
certain time that it was absolutely impos-
sible for him to do. He could not have
sought the nomination for Treasurer on the
Independent ticket previous to July 1873,
for the sufficient reason that there was no
Independent party. And yet the Record,
in spite of these lndisputable facts, con-
tinues to adhere to the old charge, and by
bringing in and mixing up lateral issues,
hopes to deceive the public, and thereby
relieve themselves from the odium of o
classification, as we'll as covering up the
greedy covetousness that has been the
incentive to the vindictive warfare against
Graham. ALEDo.

peculiar circumstances which combined to
advance its interests it would have been
disgracefully defeated, Irrational as it
was. the school issue undoubtedly contrib

to make the whole majority reported for
Hayes. Notwithstanding the positive
anti-scctarian school plank of the Dem
ocratic platform, the foolish utterances of
the Catholic Telegraph on the Geghan bill,
and on division of the school fund, created
enough uneasiness in the minds of Jealous
Professionals to make them vote TO give the
most pointed rebuke to the claim in it's
very inception. And while the Geghan bill
is so free from objection that the Repub-
lican convention of Cincinnati tabled res
olution demanding its repeal, it Heverthe
less seized upon the prejudices of bigoted
sectarians, while the denomination of Geg-

Withers and Randolph also addressed the Sen;

in the Kellogg case was contrary to tbespirit

in opposition to it by Senators Jones, Wallace
and Thurman. Several amendments offered
by opponents of the resolution were =7tled
down by strictly party vote, except that Mr..
Hamilton, of Texas, voted with the demo-
cratic Senators. Mr.. ChIistiancy, the new
Senator from Wisconsin. felt it necessary to
explain his vote in favor of the resolution,
which he held did not recognize Kellogg as
the legal Governor, bat only as the executive
power. The resolution was Matched as sort
of sop to the President, and adroitly worded
to catch the votes of some who have not lost
all regard for popular rights.
The special session was on Wednesday adj
jOurued sine die. In the executive session
the nomination of Don Pardee to be United
States judge for the district of Louisiana in
place of DurtE was laid on the table by nine
majority.
