The recommendations of the President
and Secretary Brisiow do not by any
means meet with the approval of tile
Democracy. Several members of the
House have resolutions already pre-
pared repeating the specie resumption
act of last January. There is no power
that can prevent This destroying ques-
ton from being discussed, and when IL
Is the amenities that now exist are
bound to go by the board. Talks with
leading Democrats, as we'll as the rank
and file, about this subject are of the
most psrplexing. Some are i'm favor
of Withdrawing all the National Bank
notes and issuing a billion or so oi
gr~eenbacks. Some believe in doing
nothing; u few in specie resumption,
but the present indication among the
Democrats show a prevailing desire To
repeal the present specie resumption
act. Some of the members may lie
imprudent, but the majority will wait
the lead of whom they shall designate
as their chief.
A measure will be introduced by Mr..
Randall early in the session cutting
down the army from the present max
imum Of %, 900 To $1,000. This il a
proposition that will call forth the
most earnest effort Of the army ring Ia
| secure its defeat. 1t is claimed by the
| Democrats that the standing army be.
| fore the wal Of 1900 was enough for
all purposes when the frontier was
| more open and exposed than now. The
| building of the Union Pacific Railroad
and the rapid settlement OF the from
| tier States have dOne much to do away
| With the need of an army, and it is
| deemed by d~isinterested military au-
tliorities that $4,000 Is ample for all
practical purposes. The army cost
last year in the neighborhood Of $780,
OOO, 900, and the reduction Of the army
| by 40 per cent. will thus be u net gain
to tho Treasury to the amount OF &c.
DOC, 900. The reduction, If carried out
in the anne ratio to officers, will throw
out 400 as ornaments upon the cold
charities OF the world. The possibility
| of the passage Of the bill by the Sen
| ate ordinarily would not be of the best,
but in view OF the fact that the House
IL sci upon the high road Of economy,
the Republicans can hardly allow
themselves to be placed upon thu
record in opposition to so wholesome
a change. As u matter of course al
sorts OF influence will he employed tc
secure the defeat of this measure, a.
the army is at present the asylum Of
the sons Of rich and influential fam
lilies. There is now fully 80 per cent,
more officers I'm the service than are re.

The Treasury Getting Short.

A dispatch to the New York Tribune
says the Expenses of the Government
exceeds its income, and there is much
excitement among the officers of the
Government. The President and Sec
retary of the Treasury have known the
condition of affairs for montha, but il
has been kept secret. The Little Tariff
bill will add but 81 500, 900 10 50 900 900
to the revenue, but it viii probably be
signed by the President. The free list
amounts to Sl90.000.00O, and a ten per
cent. tax is favored hy the Secretary Of
the Treasury. The President and the
Cabinet are disgusted with the Civil
Rights bill, as it causes delay. $1,000, 900
in pensions must be paid March 4, and
there are only S8,000,Q0e Of greenbacks
available in the Treasury If the re-
eeipts do not increase or the expendi-
lures are not reduced, it is possible that
the Treasury may be depleted before
the end OF the present Congress"
This is the result of the reckless ex-
travagance Of Grants administration.
The folly Of the increase of the Presi-
dents salary and the salaries of all the
officers will soon become apparent. But
all of these together would not equal tho
terribly depressing effect upon trade and
the people that results from the policy
pursued by Grant and Congress towards
the Southern States.

Geaa Grants Effort to Make Il
PnrIu fOf. Himself.

The most conspicuous failure OF An
drew Johnson's life WAS in his alleged
attempt to make Il party OF which he
was to be the head and the candidate
for the Presidency.
Being open and honest he made no at
tempt to conceal his ambition to serve
the people in the capacity of President
And there is now scarcely doubt but
that it would have proved a great bles
sing to the country had the people nom-'
mated and elected Mr.. johnson Presi-
dent with House and Senate in accord
with his views.
Had this been done the carpet-baggers
would never have robbed and ruined the
Southern States; nor would the Credit
Mobi,ier and Sanborn schemes and Paci-
tic Mail subsidy been successfully played
to the end. These evils are the out
growth Of Radical corruptionists with a
weak, inferior and corrupt man in the
Presidential chair.
And now this man Grant has the an
dacity to suppose that the people will
support him in his attempt to force him,
self upon the country for a third term.
He is surrounded by phalanx of fiat
terers, impenetrable to honest and res
pectable men, even OF the Republican
party, and doubtless fiattered into the
opinion that he may succeed in getting
a third nomination of the Republican
party; and getting this, his eighty thou
sand offiee-holders and with his use of the
army, he may be able to foitt himself
again into power. No one can fail tt
aid of the monied men, the army, and
such of the independent press as he can
And for this purpose he is visiting al
around, dining at clubs, and no doubt
making promises by implication. If he
does not Swing around the circle" max
ing speeches it is perhaps because he ii
incapable of making arespectable speech
That Grant will fail in the nomination
is the opinion of nearly all the indie
pendent journals-and that he will fai
in an election if he gets the nomination
we cannot doubt. But he is evidently
dangerous man, and will not stop to us
the army to aid him should it be appar
ent that the votes of only two or thre
States are necessary to give him a pre-
text for holding on to power during
third term.
