NIGHT REPORT.
N


Disposition Of The Army in the South
Washington, Aug. ga general
order just issued from the War Depart
ment directs Col Ruger, upon asspm-
ing command of the Department of the
South, on OF about September LIST, to
transfer the headquarters of the De-
partment to Atlanta. The companies
of the Second Infantry now in the De-
partment of the Gulf win be transferred
to the Department of the South and the
headquarters and companies of the
Sixteenth Infantry 10 in that Depaft-
ment of the Gulf.
Bad for Pensioners.
The reduction of the clerks in the
departments promises to work great
hardship to applicants for pensions.
In 1875 the force of the pension divis-
ion of the surgeon generals office was
reduced to twenty-seyen, and during
the year 5,675 cases accumulated which
could not be attended to, out of a total
of 20, 1872 referred from the pension bu-
reau. On all applications for pensions
the cases are referred to the surgeon
general for a medical history of the
soldier, and the cast cannot be decided
until this history is returned In the
reduction to be made under the recent
Legislative bill the force is further re-
duced by t~hirty-four, and the conse-
quent accumulation OF cases unacted
upon will be more than doubled In the
year. This Will create q delay OF nearly
two years In settling. The pension APP
plication cases referred last year were
2,ooo more tnan the year pe1ore, n
the number Will be greater this year.
Another Inconvenience.
The error of an e~ngrossing clerk of
the House in omittinq from the signed
bin the contingent appropriation for the
Attorney Generals Office, cuts off all
allowances for the purchase of law books
for that office and the offices of the
Judges and district ATTORNEYS through
out the country, as well as for telegraph

The Herald on Morgan.

The Herald on Morgan.
New York, August 24.-The Herald
editorially says:
The nomination of Gov. Morgan is a
strong one of itself, but the real strength
of any Republican nomination at pres
emit lies in its fitness to secure party
unity, land from this point Of view, even
if from no other, Morgan is well select
ed as the leader of the State canvass.
He is an able and experienced party
tactician and if he be not quite a match
for Gov. Tilden in this respect, he may
be relied on to give close attention to
the details Of the canvass. The nomi-
nation of Rogers for the second place
is one Of the best that could have been
made, and the ticket as a whole will be
a very hard one to beat.

than one absurdity on the face of it.
In the first place, it it absolutely GER

way being abandoned, every effort is
being made to push if forward, and to
secure the best means for its compile
ton, and in the next place, if the Can

announcement would be made, not by
the Governor-G General to a deputation
of Victoria citizens, but by a respon'
sible man to the whole people of the
country.

A THIEvING SET.

The telegraph reports the arrest Of
United States Paymaster Spaulding in
San Francisco in accordance with
orders from Washington. The charges
which led to this summary proceeding
have not been made public, but the
supposition is that it is for completely
in the Pinney defalcations. At present
arrests for defrauding the revenue, or
plundering and swindling the Govern
ment in some way or ether, is the order
of the day. 1t seems as if there were
but few honest officials among the
Presidents appointees. In st. Louis,
Chicago, Cincinnati and other Western
cities, all, or nearly all, the distilleries
have been seized; and the fact is in
disputable that majority of the rev.
enue official have been implicated in
the frauds. This is startling state of
affairs, and proves that Government
officials from the highest to the lowest,
are, as a rule, dishonest. Pinney, an
adventurer, with no other qualification
than theiying procliyitles, aud capac-
ity for doing the dirty work of the
party, was appointed to responsible
position in San Francisco. He made
the most of his opportunity by stealing
over million dollars from the Govern
ment, and then leaving for parts un-
known. And now to cap the climax,
Paymaster Spaulding is arrested for
supposed completely in Pinney's THEW
ing. Another Government official was
also arrested in California yesterday
for defalcation in the Land Office, of
which he was Receiver. Verify, the
time has come when honesty among
Government officials is at Discount,
and the greatest thieves in the party
in power have been appointed to Office.
