We have no change to note in the money
market, which continues easy, with an
abundant supply of funds and little demand
either in bank or on the street. A fair
movement was reported to-day in gold and
foreign exchange, and both were quoted at
an advance. New York sight ruled easier,
and sales were liberal. A few transactions
in stocks were reported, of which the par
ticulars are given below. City bonds were
quiet and quoted lower.
New State consOls were again active and
in demand, closing ut an advance OF Y

The Washington correspondent Of tn,
New York ZImes. of January l6. sa1a:


The Washington correspondent Of the
New York Times, of January l6, says:
The subcommittee of the House Military
Committee, of which General A. 8. Will
liams, of Michigan, is chairman, held .
meeting Saturday, when the resolution re-
ferred to them relative to reduction of the
army was considered. There were several
propositions for reduction of the force and
reduction in the pay. The question Of the
pay OF the army was fully discussed, and it
was the unanimous opinion Of the commit
tee that there could be no general reduc-
ton in the pay of either officers or men.
There was also some interchange of opinion
in reference to reduction of the force, and
it appeared that, 90 far as the committee lie
concerned, there is NO disposition to pro-
pose any serious reduction of the army.
There were, however, various propositions
submitted looking to consultations and
increase and transfer of duties among the
officers, principal among which is the one to
have the Indian Bureau transferred to the
War Department.

sARGENr,s BILL.

II there is one thing more than AN
other upon which the RrcoRp prides it.
eeif. it Is . willingness to give every
man and institution credit for the good
be or II or they may happen to bs the
author. Now we do not, We confess,
like Senator Sargent We think his
career 10 many respects has been far
from commendable. For a long time he
was mere railroad attorney and though
he pretsnds 10 have thrown of that yoke,
10 probably SO still. He no doubt is at
the bottom OF large amount Of the Of
hcial dishonesty which has 90 largely OBJ.
tanned upon this coast. Further. he is
the friend Of Sheppard and Babcock
and that Of itself would be sufficient to
condemn him. Those fellows had no
use for honest men. Yet. in spite Of all
his sins. even at this late day, Sargent
has commenced good work. He has
introduced measure into the Senate.
which II passed. will confer great and
permanent benefit on the Pacific Coast,
for II will check the Tartar invasion
which threatens to utterly destroy
the well-being Of the American
laborer and artisan. Sargent's bill pro-
vides that no vessel shall at any one
time bring more than ten Chinese pas
senesrs. That IL ten too many, bul
there ID considerable between halt SCORE
and landing them BY the hundred and
thousand. For devising q practioa
scheme to aid the Pacific Coast to &c
rid OF the Asiatic plague Sargent is en-
titled to much credit. II he bllows !
up BY sxerting his undoubtedly great in
husncs in the Senate so as to secure tn
passage OF his bill he will certainly de
serve and should receive the thanks o
all our citizens. No doubt be has don
much mischief and winked at more, bu
II be aids materially in removing tn
Chinese curse much will be forgive
him. He will not be remewb ered rs tn
railroad attorney, as the alder an
abettor Of dishonest officials, but rs th
man who assisted greatly 10 deiverin
his fellow citizen from . horrible intii'
ton, . curse and . misfortune. W
trust Mr.. Sargent will DO successful
this meritorious undertaking and thu
all his sins may be forgiven and forge
ton in return for his services in bis pr
sent laudable efforts.

Death, the King of Terrors, was de-
termined to choose a prime minister
and his pale cOurtiers, the CHASTITY train
of diseases, were all summoned to
attend, when each preferred his
claim to the honor Of this illustrious
Office. Fever urged the numbers he had
destroyed; cold palsy set forth his pre-
tentions by shaking all his limbs; and
drOpsy, by his swelled. unwieldly carcass.
GOut hObbled up, and alleged his great
power in reaching every joint; and as
thma's inability to speak was a strong
though silent argument IN favor of his
claim. Stone and cholic pleaded their
violence; plague his rapid progress in
destruction and consumption, though
slow, insisted that she was sure. In the
midst of this, the court was disturbed
with the noise of music, dancing, feast.

HIN WHAT HE IS.

A few weeks ago a saloOn-keeper in
Dover, Delaware, who patronized his own
bar very literally, stepped into back
room, where men we're at work about a
pump in a well. The covering had been
removed, and he approached to look
down, but, being drunk, he pitched in
head foremost. He had become so much
of bloat by the use of strong drink
that it was impossible to extricate him
in time to save his life.
There was great excitement in the
town. Men and women who had never
been inside of his saloon before were the
first to rush to the rescue, and to offer
sympathy to the bereaved family. As
he was being dragged from the well and
stretched out dead upon the saloon floor,
wholesale liquor dealer from Philadel-
phia stepped in. After the first shock
of thus finding one of his good custom
ers dead, he turned to prominent lady,
a crusader, and said, pointing to the
wretched victim, III made that man
what he was. l lent him his first dollar,
and set him up with his first stock of
liquors, and he's now worth $4,000 or
s15, 900"
Looking him full in the face, she re-
spOnded:
''You made that man what he was
drunkard, a bloat, a stencil in the
nostrils of society. and sent him head
long into eternity. and to drunkard's
hell? What is $4,000 weighed against
lost soul, wasted life, a wife, wild,
ow, and children orphans %
He turned deadly pale, and without ;
word left the house.
And so we ask What lis all tn,
business and all the revenue to the mil
lions whose homes are despoiled who's
children are beggared, and whose loves
ones are sent headlong to a drunkard'
grave and drunkard's hell? Put your
self in the place of that mother who's
son is pursued day and night by thi
demon, till the hairs of his head becom
serpents, and live Goals burn into hi
flesh to the very bone, and, fghtln
devils, he leaps out into eternity an
: then ask, Are my hands clean? Do
r love my neighbOr as myself? Am l d
e ing all can to stay the tide that
|. bearing so many down and may yet be;
is me DOWN."
