THERE was a good deal of talking done
at the impeachment trial Wednesday
and JERRY BLACK distinguished himself
by piece of rare and sudscious cynicism
that will take rank with his ironical de-
tense OF STANTON published in the Gal.
a,ey two or three years ago. He justified
BELxNAP on the ground that he was no
worse than GRANT and others of the
party! As Democrat he satisfied his
personal hatred by exposing the
whole Administration to contempt;
ss counsel for the accused
he avenged upon BELKEArs former asso-
cistes their desertion Of comrade and
their assumption of superior virtues be-
cause they had not been caught. Verify
it Is sight for Gods and men to see the
counsel for Secretary of War inn
pesched for taking brides, argue that his
client should so free because the Presi-
dent and the Acknowledgement and the
whold administration are fully as guilty
II that in an epidemic of official dis
honesty one man should not be selected
to be made ar example Of.

against MCKEE, which are to be used IN
procuring the Iatter's pardon. MCKEE
was also one of GRANTS intimates, and
was convicted Of sharing in the ring

Of course he IS to be psrdoned. That
has been understood for long time, sad
when MCKEE is restored to freedom, he.
in return, will make an affidavit for Nc.
DONALD and JOYCE, and they will be let
loose to return to their former vocation,
according to the bargain with BABcocK.
AVERY, who, as a clerk in the internal
revenue, and as chief clerk OF the treas
ury, betrayed his trusts, and colluded
with the thieves, who stole official papers
from the files, and was the tool of Bah
COCK and his confederates, has been
promised pardon by the President
which is temporarily withheld for fear OF
its damaging effects on the Presidential
canvass.
Thus, on the one hand, BRIsTow, WILL
SON, YARYAN, DYER, PRATT, and others,
who prosecuted the whisky ring and con-
victed the chiefs, are driven out of office
because they were earnest and honest;
and, on the other, MCKEE, MCDONALD:
JOYCE, AVERY and their associates, who
were found guilty by the evidence OF their
accomplices, and by forgerles and frauds
filed in the treasury, are treated as the
victims of cruel persecution, restored to
favor at the White House, and will soon
be active champions of HAYES and
WHEELER, who are held up as Republi-
can reformers.

WHERE the SOLDIERS ARE.

According to the latest report sent to
the House, there are over 1900 federal
soldiers stationed in the Southern States.

They manage things differently, if not
better, in France. Here is President
MAcMAHoN turning over tothe national
breeding studs of the Republic over
which,he presides, four choice black horses,
sent him as gifts by the Emperor Of Mo
rocco. The martial Chief Executive
OF France, in his simple, soldierly
way, arrived at the conclusion that the
picked animals would not have been for
warded as presents to him but for
his official position. Properly regard
ing himself as the servant of his fellow
countrymen, he turns over to their ben
eft that which comes into his hands by
virtue of his service. In our older Re.
public there, too, presides military
President, who has received no end Of
gifts, but unlike his old-wo-ld colleague,
he retains them ali. So complacently
has the American Executive accepted all
gifts, large and small, and so pertiEacious-
ly has he chung to them, every one, that
were he at this late day to follow
the example of IMAGINATION, his country
men, would be apt to think that the
head OF the nation had been turned. No
danger need be apprehsnded on this
point. Gen. GRANT is not going TO turn
over anything to the nation, except,
perhaps, few dozen more Of psrdoned

The reorganization of the United
States army is to be submitted to special
commission. Something ought to be done
about it and that quickly. The chief
objection of the Democrats to an increase
of the army has been founded on the fear
that such increase would be used for
polit cal purposes in the Southern states
