Senate.
WASHINGTON, June 26-Mr oyan. from
the Committee on Military Affairs. reported
with amendments the House bill to equal
ize the bounties of soldiers who served in
the late war for the Union. 1t was placed
on the calendar.
The message of the President, recon
mending the continuance of appropriations
upon the present basis until next year, was
referred to the Appropriations Com mmittee.
The army appropriation bill was then
taken up. The amendment proposed by
the committee to strike out the sections re.
organizing the army, reducing paw, ETC.,
was agreed to-yeas "a nays 13-Mr.
Maxey voting with the Repu blicans in the
affirmative.
Other amendments offered by the COM
mittee were adopted. Also an amendment
offered by Mr. Maxey. providing that cav
airy regiments may be recruited to 100 men
10 each company, and kept as near as pos
sible to that mum Der, and sufficient force
of cavalry shall be employed in defense of
the Rio Grande and Indian frontier of
Texas. The bill passed.
During ths debate on the army bill Mr..
Maxey, of Texas, spoke of the necessity of
protecting the Rio Grande frontier, and
said he was opposed to striking out the
clause of the House bill providing that the
cavalry regiments shall be reduced to 100
men for each company, and that a sufficient
force OF cavalry shall be employed in the
defense of the Mexican and Indian frontier
of Texas. He said he had called upon the
President in regard to the protecting of the
Rio Grande frontier and had been informed
by him that the force was not sufficient to
protect that country, most of the cavalry
force now being in the vicinity of the Black
Hills. The people of Texas had the right
to have their frontier protected and if the
force Of cavalry was insufficient, it should
be increased.

The Eastern Question Causes Disseusion

correspondent says he hears, from q trust

in the Cabinet on the Eastern question, and
intimates that the present policy is Mr..
Disraeli's and not Lord Derby's. The cor
respondent says: The reason why such an
obstinate silence has been observed in Par
lament on the policy of the government on
this question is that a debate would
make manifest these differences, which
could not fail to prove very prejudi
cal to the government. Lord Derby and
Sir Stafford Northcott, Chancellor of the
Exchequer. on the one hand, and the Pre-
mier, Mr.. Hunt, First Lord of the Admir-
atty, and the Marquis of Salisbury. Secre-
tary of State for India, ON the other, are
widely at variance on the extremely seri-
GUS point of the amount of support to be
awarded Turkey by England in the event
of crisis. Every one is hoping for tho
best, but nobsdy's eyes can be closed to the
alarming resemblance the present situation
bears to that Immediately preceding the
Crimean war. If We do not this time drift
into hostilities it certainly will not be owing
to unity and energy in the cause of peace Of

And fsart defeat sff,onl the g3ze

To ca 90 the Kell6 g trouble,
Shows Wheeler Is the man to raid

For compromising Wheeie's might
Must compromise their chanccs.

the South at largo will produce the Same
happy results everywhere where slavery
once existed. If, however, this wheeler
compromise in Louisiana has been used as
Republican means to Confederate end,
and that end the overthrow first of the Re-
publican administration at Washington, and
finally the overthrow of the Republican
party in Louisiana, then the same influences
which have produced these results will IN
der Republican auspices at Washington con-
firm both by establishing the Confederate
power on yet flmer basis in each Southern
State and throughout the Union. But be-
fore we reach this possible consequence We
meet lion In the path. May not the 'com-
promise policy" inaugurated By the Repub-
Iican convention at Cincinnati, give of fact
a fatal impulse to the political reaction
against negro citizenship and the Repub-
lican reconstruction of the South, which will
form the chief campaign capital of the
Confederate Democratic party in the sp-
preaching contest. And if We should
ton in 1876 on the issue Of reconcilia-
ton and compromise, will it be worth
while to have any further discussion
Of the question whether the Confederate
power will be confirmed or not in

The Census of Ireland.

The compilation Of the census of Ire
land, which has Just been made pnblic
contains many interesting statistics. The
population of the Island is set down at
5,4I2,397. In 1861 it was i, ,798, ,957; in
1851, 6,553.163, and in 1S4l, 8,176, ,124.
II has thus fallen off yearly three mil
lions in less than twenty-five years.
This falling off is somewhat accounted
for when we turn to our own census re-
turns, and discover that in 1870 there
were 1852 persons still living in the
United States who were born in Ireland.
There has also been very large emigra-
tion from Ireland to England, Scntlard d
anG Canada. During the last ten years,
according to the Irish census, the total
emigration from the island was $40 S36
and il was not "a large during this decade
as during the two previous.
The returns as to religious denomina-
tions show very little change from form
er years. The Catholics, however have
slightly decreased in numbers, and the
Episcopalians and Presbyterians slight
ly increased since 1861. The former
number 4.15O,S57, the Episcopalian'
667 ,9o5, the Presbyterians 497 ,948, and
all other denominations together 65, ,864
