A Preliminary Question.

There is preliminary question which of
course must he settled before there can
be any Intelligent action on the PROPOSE
ton TO reduce the army; and no action
should be taken until that question is dis
posed Of 1t is, which are we to have, war
or pcacei
II we are 10 have war, which nj present
seems highly probable, SO far from u re-
ductlon of the army, there will have TO be
large increase of both the army ana
navy; for no policy can be more hazard
Gus or more costly than to go TO war with
insufficient forces. We learned enough Of
this by an experience dear in both treas
ure and blood in the war OF the rebellion.
1t may just as well I've determined very
soon whether our troubles with Spain and
or not. There exists ut least n specous
pretonce, a ground which the country may
accept as sufficient, for hostilities toward
both these countries GRANT is ambi-
tious, and We think ne is sagacious enough
20 perceive that almost his only chance for
a third term depends on plungIng the
country into war. lie must mean some
thing 10y the threats which he has thrown
ont, and If he means peace the threats are
ridiculous. He has, we think, pretty clear
Of his letting bill to reduce the army
come TO the point OF Il veto before ne sends
IL his second message.

Two Second Marriages.

In the Brooklyn Court Of Sessions, last
Wednesday, the case OF MICHAEL BRowN
came Up. MICHAEL took 10 himself wife
several !; cars ago; but afterward came to
the conclusion that he could not live with
her. SO he left her. But he was not con-
tent to live alone, and he married another
wife. The statute of the State forbade bic
marrying tho second wife while the frst
wac living; aud although che came into
court and testified that they had lived
happily together, and although she had an
infant in her arms, MICHAEL had to go TO
the State prison, to be confined there at
hard labor for the term of five years.
CHARLES ii. VAN BRUNT had n wife, and
whether he could live with her or not, he
concluded that he would not So he COM
mitted adultery, ana on the ground of his
own adultery his wife was divorced; but
innsmuch as the fault was on his part, the
decree Of the Supreme Court, granting the
divorce, positively forbade his marrying
again during the life of his FIRST wife.
Nevertheless, VAN BRUNT married n
young wife in violation of this decree, the
same as MICHAEL BRowN married young
wife In violation of the statute.
MICHAEL BRowN is in the state prison.
CHARLES ii. VAN DRUNT is on the bench

A Clew 10 Grants Purpose.

People who arc sincerely DESTROYS OF get
ting nj the real intentions Of the President
in the Cuban business, may find useful
Clew to lead them to right conclusion. in
an article which we copy elsewhere, from
the Washington National Republican Of
Dee. II, aud which has hitherto escaped the
attention it is found TO deserve when ii
Is understood TO be n direct reflection Of
the views of Gen. GRANT. This we have
excellent reason for believing 1t to be.
The article is elaborate; but it is care
fully written. and every word Of 1t Is
worth Il thoughtful reading. The gist Of
the conclusion TO which it arrives Is stated
in the following torus. We quote from
the article:
mediation may he ndop'ei with friendly intent to
both parties to the contest, ant IS non ne oalg
pe1c,a6c resort ., ne cuban agIAr .ror TIC Ihasd

be maintained, into one Of pace Y Span dccei,, our

There is not much need of misunder-
standing language like this. Whether
Ulysses :. GRANT is the man to adhere to
it-fOr we have no doubt tins construction
Of his meaning was sanctioned by Lim-or
TO back out Of II, others who know him or
his history can judge as well as we.

1t has been supposed by some persons
that the costs In The SUNS eIectment suit
against the Tribune were limited by tie amount
Of damages. THIS is an error. In an action TO
recover real property a successful plaintiff Is
always entitled 10 costs. THE SUN recovered
about 500.

No secret Diplomacy.

Secret diplomacy is well enough for
rulers who wish TO enslave their subjects,
but free country should have none Of 1t.
There is 10 good reason why every person
in the United States who can read, should
not be permitted to see at once, the full
text of the diplomatic note which has
been addressed by our Government to the
great European powers.
The New Hampshire Republican state
Convention have just resolved that ours is
government Of the people, for the peo-
pie, aud by the people. If that is so, let
the people see their own letter, written
for them and in their name. by their aman-
uensis, clerk, or secretary, Mr.. FISH. And
they ought TO see il at once. Why should
they be made to waltz
We suspect that this note will amount
TO little or nothing more than u means Of
delay. II will enable the President and
the Secretary Of state to play at cross
purposes little longer. Then the crisis
will come, and FISH with his peace policy,
or GRANT with his war policy, VIII prevail

RAILROAD LITIG ITION.
Judge DillOn's Decision Ia the Atlantic aud
Missouri Pacific Cuses.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. fudge Dillon OF the
L. ;. Circuit Court to-day delivered decision
In the Pacific Railroad cases. lie said the appll-
cation OF St. Louis county To become a party de-
PENDANT In the bill to foreciose the second mort
gage on the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad, aud
to the bill To foreclose tho third mortgage on
the Missouri Pacific Railroad must be denied
for the reason that 1t was an unsecured creditor
md could not be permitted to interfere with the
foreclosure OF the mortgage, as IL had no Inter
est in the subject matter, lie also refused to
grant the motion OF the state to become party
In these cases TOR the same reason.
In respect to the suit Of y. \. COwdery OF New
York against the Missouri Pacific railroad and
Others, lie said the Uill was for the sole purpose
OF setting aside the third mortgage as iraudu-
lent, but that its avermeuts were not sufficient
for that purpose, II true, and that II the bull did
cont lin sufficient ALLEGATIONS to Justify the set
ting aside Of the third mortgage, no receiver
could he appointed under II, Tor the reason that
the lease Of that road had not yet expired under
its provisions, and for the further reason that
the object sought did not warrant the appoint
ment Of separate receivers. lie intmated that
II II was true, AZ claimed, that the tuird mort
gage was void, because of fraud, the proper WY
would be To Intervene In the suit To foreclOse,
and that If the company refused to defend, the
Court would, on proper showing, permit such
Intervention.

the first member OF the House to move in the
matter should be the same Democratic Com
gresham who had already signallzed himself by
taking the earliest possible opportunity to offer a
resolution giving the District Commissioners au-
thority to issue bonds for two millions OF dollars
guaranteed by the United States, in addition TO
the millions already issued, legally or otherwise,
for the benefit OF the Ring. The robbery Of the
poor freedmen was so intimately connected
with the pundering operations OF the District
and Seneca Sandstone Rings, that II Is OF the
utmost importance that the committee having
charge of the proposed investigation should be
entirely free from Ring control. And until Mr.,
DOUGLASS has satisfactorily explained his ex-
traordinary action In regard TO authorizing an
Increased issue OF the District bonds 1t will oc-
cur to many that he Is hardly the man TO lead in
an inquiry which, II honestly pursued, must iul-
plicate influential Ring leaders.

War with Mexico-The First step Taken
By the House of Representatives.

What may fairly be regarded rs the first
actual step toward IA war with Mexico was
taken by the United States House of Rep
Tesentativcs day before yesterday. II con-
sisted in the adoption of resolution for
the appointment of "A select committee to
inquire into the inroads. robberies, and
murders along the Mexican border In
Texas.
This resolution was offered by Mr..
ECHLECKER, Democratic member from
Texas. 1t was advocated by M REAGAN.
man Of good deal OF note. who said
that the authorities of Texas would not be
able longer to restrain the people OF that
country from taking up arms in their own
defence, n thing which might be greatly to
lie dcplorcd. Taking into consideration
the danger OF international complications,
lie believed that some committee ought TO
be charged with the whole question. 1t
was also supported by Mr.. MrLLs, Demo-
FRAT, of Texas, who referred TO the testi-
mony given by Gen. SHERMAN, before the
Military Committee, as 10 the Mexican in
Cursions into Texas.
The resolution encountered considerable
opposition, but 1t was adopted by the
Hod,e.
The next step will be the report Of this
telect committee. 1t may be expected to
make ont Il suiiic emily strong case against
the MeXicans Then for war speeches and
war measures
so We start of, and so we shall move on,
toward war with Mexico!
