Editorial Notes.

THE Hon. A. II. Stephens writes TO a
Washington friend that he has abandoned
all Lope Of being able TO take his seat in the
House Of Representatives during the winter,
and that he has no intention of resigning.
Ii Is mentioned as remarkable coinci.
dence that the first month Of this Centen-
NAL winter closely resembles that of 1870.
The journals Of that year speak Of the unus-
ua mildness Of the season, and il had great
influence both upon the offensive and defen.
sive operations Of the American army.
TnF recent amnesty discussion has had
the effect to convince the public that there
was not quite enough rope stretched at the
conclusion Of the war. Men who deliber-
atey starved and murdered helpless prison
ers had no right to exemption from punish
ment under any rules of warfare known TO
civilized nations.
Tur Prohibitonists of Ohio intend to en-
ter the state canvass early, and have called
their convention for Wednesday, the Odd of
February, at Columbus, Ohio, TO nominate
state officers. As Ohio will hold her state
election next October, and the result is re-
gardcd as forecast Of the presidential cleo
ton, the course Of the Prohibitionists has
considerable political Importance.
A CORRESPONDENT of the Charleston
Ners, who was expelled from the privileges Of
the South Carolina IIousesof Representatives
wasinfouned tina: he must apologize before he
could be re-admitted. lie accordingly wrote :
al am charged with accusing certain mem
bers Of yonr honorable body with jobbing,
corrupt practices, etc. did make such a
charge 1t is true, and am sorry for it,"
The House does not consider the apology"
satisfactory.

MOODY AND SANREY.-A New York cor
respondent speaks thus of the preparatory
work which has been done for the long-an-
ticipated meeting of the revivalsts in that
city: "The transformation of the New York
Hippodrome into house Of prayer is com
pleted, but here and there evidences of its
former use are still to be seen. The great
hall has been divided into three compart.
ments-one upon Madison Avenue, with a
seating capacity of six thousand one upon
Fourth Avenue, with seats for four thousand
five hundred persons, and an intermediate
space forty feet wide, which has been part.
toned off into private room for Mr..
Moody, choir.rooms, etc. The platform of
the great hall will seat one thousand people,
and the other platform six hundred There
will be telegraphic communication between
the doorkeepers and the platforms, for
the purpose of giving directions TO them,
and for use in case OF accident The
structure will be heated by fourteen fur
naces, which will require three tons OF coal
every day. About two thousand persons,
besides the clergymen, will assist at the SER
vices, including eight hundred singers, six
hundred Christian workers, and six hundred
ushers. The work began on Tuesday, Feb
ruary LIST These meetings will cost about
$4,000, and the committee which has UNI
dertaken the burden asks subscriptions,
which may be sent to J. p Morgan, Treas.
urer, at No. 90 Wall street, New York.

PRoposED REDucrIoSs-Fo seine years
past there has been strong tendency
towards increasing the number OF foreign
appointments and the pay of the appointees
Congress, in view of the hard times, and
the general reduction of wages and salaries
in business circles has felt that it would be
proper to curtail public expenses by abolish
ing all Offices which can be dispensed with
and by curtailing the salaries attached 10
those which may be deemed indispensable
The House committee on appropriations
have, therefore, agreed 10 the following re.
ductions All firstclass missions-France
England, Germany and Russia-are reduced
by the committee from $4,000 to $4,000
all $4,000 missions TO $4,000; all $4,000
missions to $4,000 and all $500 missions
to $4,000. The Grecian mission is abolished,
and a consulate is established, with a salary
of $4,000 attached All South American
MISSIONS except Brazil, which is reduced
are consolidated into two, making Chill and
Bolivia one, and Peru Ecuador and Columbia
another. All consulates are reduced ten per
cont. The committee claim TO be in poses
sion of facts which justify the proposed re-
ductions of the diplomatic force, and the
cutting down of salaries We have no doubt
of this. The pay is, in many instances
unjustifiably large. Let the pruning knife
be used literally. DO not confne reforma
tory efforts to diplomatic officials Thore is
room for increased economy in every branch
OF the public service, and the people demand
of Congress the exercise of its power to cur
tail the squandering of public money in ex.
orbitant salaries, and in supporting useless
otIicials

NEW HAMPSHIRE AND THE CENTENNIAL,
The Centennial committee of New IIamp.
shire met at Manchester, Wednesday, and
adopted plan for building to be erected
on the Centennial grounds The main
building will be thirty by forty feet, two
stories high, with two projecting and spa
cious piazzas on three sides. The location
is one of the best and commands fine view
of the grounds The committee are short
of funds, aud it is proposed to appeal to the
citizens of New Hampshire to contribute
toward the erection of the building and in
making a credtable exhibition Of the yari-
Gus industries Of the state.

Delegate Cannon, of Utah.
presents TO the House another petition from
the females of that Territory. The signers
of the petition, TO the number of two thou
sand five hundred, want free passes from
Utah to the Centennial Exhibition. If, as
Mr. Cannon declares, the former petition
from the female population of Utah, asking
for the repeal of the law against polygamy,
was not obtained by any compulsion or de
ceit, aud they really prefer one-fifth or one
tenth Of husband apiece it is a great piece
of eifrontery for them to ask the government
to pay their travelling expenses, whichif they
had a husband apiece, he would naturally
do without the aid of Congress. 1t would
seem quite enough that the Mormons ex-
pect the government to allow their immoral
practices; it is rather too much that they
now ask it to support their harems.

Tnosr GRAssHopPERs,-The House com
mittee on agriculture, at Washington, has
before it a series of resolutions from the
State Horticultural Society of Kansas, set
ting forth that the Rocky Mountain locusts
or grasshoppers, which have been so destruc-
tive to crops in the West, originate in the
Rocky Mountains, and calling for the APP
pointmont Of commission to investigate
the matter. These resolutions, though they
came from Kansas, are said to have origin
ated in Philadelphia, and their object is to
furnish transportation and compensation for
three or more would-be grasshopper hunters.
The idea of the government sending out a
commission of entomologists and statisti-
clans to track the predatory grasshopper to
his lair must strike every one as supremely
ridiculous, and it meets with no favor at the
Agricultural Department, But some Of the
Western Congressman are urging an appro-
priation for this purpose, and will endeavor
TO secure the passage of bill creating a
grasshopper commission.

The Elmlra Prison.

DIR, +. F Sanger, of Bangor, Maine, sur
geon in charge of the hospital at Elmra
prison camp in 1864, writes to the Press that
Mr.. Hills shameless comparison of the treat
ment of prisoners of war at Andersonvile
and at Elmira is wholly unjust There was
no lack of food or care at Elmira, he says
Very many Of the Federal officers had quar-
ters inside the palisades and the medical
staff took as much interest in the treatment
Of their patients as at home. Humanity
knew no difference between Federal and
rebel. The rate Of mortality was large, for
the prisoners were home guards, whom age
and infrmity disqualified for confinement
and army rations conscripts aud old soldiers
whose constitutions were undermined and
impregnated with the diseases of maaria
regions and camp life. The men needed
treatment when they were brought in, and
over eleven hundred out of ten thousand died
in ivemonths-an average of seven per diem.
A headboard marked every grave, and the
official records gave a history of every indi-
vidual. At Andersonville the dead were
picked up and dumped in trenches, like rot
ten sheep, without enumeration. by the
prisoners calculations, there was daily av-
erage of one hundred deaths inside of the
enclosure, reaching as high as one hundred
and thirty, in mean strength of thirty
thousand. The hospital rate outside is I'M
known but the deaths of prisoners who re-

GoNE 10 HoLLAsD.-The forger Wins
low, late treasurer of the Boston Post has it
is ascertained, taken passage to Holland. 1t
is thought that he took with him nearly two
hundred thousand dollars, and that this is
very nearly the amount Of forgeries com
mitted by him. We have no extraditon
treaty with Holland by which Winslow
could be demanded for extradition. Some
hopeful Boston creditors have asked the
proper authorities TO make a special request
of the government Of Holland for Winslow's
surrender on his arrival in that country.
There are precedents for such a course where
no extradition treaty exists. The decision
OF the Holland government will soon be
known, but we confess that we have little
faith that anything will come of it,.

on our outside this week the address Of Mrs.
Governor Smith, one Of the Woman's Cen

which she so ably espouses is one in which
every woman in the state should take an
earnest and active interest. A fne building
called the Woman's Pavilion has already
been erected, covering an area of three thou.

POSTAL MATTERs.-The House has unan-

Appropriation act, last March. The in
creased postal rate was made during the
closing hours OF the last Congress, no one
seeming to know the force and purpose Of

Sundry Civil act by the conference commit
tee II is stated that the bill will meet with
some opposition in the Senate, where the

TROUBLE WITH MEXICO The Rio Grande
troubles are far from being ended. Indeed, the
congressional committee appointed to inves-
tigate them are considering the propriety of
asking the President to proclaim martial law
throughout the disturbed districts. Captain
McNally, who has been on duty there of
late, reports that from three to ten thousand
cattle month have been stolen from the
citizens of Texas aud taken to Mexico. 1t
is surely high time that efficient means
should be employed to stop this wholesale
pillage and plundering.
