THE MILITARY IN WASHINGTON.
What the New York Herald Knows
About Ii.
NEW YORK, Nov. H.-The Herald has n
three column Washington dispatch about the
concentration OF troops there, giving various
rumors in relation thereto. IL SAYS the re-
ports of excitement in Washington are great
ly exaggerated. In addition to the seven
companies now in the place, three more COM
panies were hourly expected With the troopS
AT the arsenal, the sailors, the marines from
headquarters and the navy yard, Captain W
u. Moore's Washington Light Infantry, and
Capt Don McCathran's Washington Light
Guard, the government has at its disposal
WITHIN the city at present about | go men
fully armed and equipped. The most plausi-
Die theory yet afforded i'm explanation of the
necessity claimed 10 exist for the presence of
troops i'm armed force i'm Washington was
given tonight by prominent officer of the
war department during a conversation. He
says that the advertisement has been widely
made of
THE DEMOCRATIC RATIFICATION MEETING
10 take place I'm this city on the 18th Of this
month. Ii is understood that IL is TO be one
of the largest OF its kind ever had at the cap
ltal. Ii is thought that IL will be character
lied by illuminated transparencies and ban
ners which may prove offensive and irritat-
ing, and which may provoke disorder.
what the Tribune Says.
The ITl6tose's special says the whole truth
seems 10 be that a small armed force is being
assembled here, consisting of light artillery,
y
kets, and infantry. Its effective strength will
not much exceed 900 men. Naval prepara-
lions and orders make il probable that two or
three ships of war will soon be at the Wash
lngton navy yard TO reinforce this little ar my.
There is
NOTHING ALARMING
or even astonishing i'm this small gathering
Oh tne national police at the capital. On the
contrary, an assurance is afforded by their
presence that the laws will take their course
ana mat the excitement occasioned by the
~ frlx
will not occasion a disturbance of the public
peace. Apart from the security against tur-
bulent acts growing out of heated partisan
feeling, which II may be supposed prudent
10 obtain by the presence of troops there are
ordinary reasons sufficient to account for the
coming OF few companies. The arsenal has
scarcely had protection enough of late 10
guard IL against the raids of the preda tory
agents OF the junk dealers, and the threa forts
near w Washington have been denuded of their
garrisons TO meet the achievements for sol
dlers lor The Indian campaign and in the
southern states. Three or four companie.
could very properly be stationed perm anent

than was expected.
