The Armv Safe.

The Washington correspondence of the
New York Herald says:
The conference report of the army bill
having been agreed to by both houses, now
awaits the Presidents signature. The
Senate refused to agree to any reduction of
army officers pay, and insisted on striking
out the seven sections which contained new
legislation proposing reforms, organization,
ETC., and in those respects the House yielded
the House conferees agree, rather than
further delay the passage Of the bill, to the
following provision, viz:
That the whole subject matter Of reform
and reorganization OF the army shall be
referred to commission consisting of two
members of the Senate and two of the
House, to be appointed by the presiding
officer OF each, and two officers of the
army-and one from the staff corps-one
from the line, to be selected by the Presi-
dent with special reference to their knOwl-
in the service. Said commissioners shall
carefully examine into all matters with
reference to the demands of the public SER
vice as to the number and pay of men
and officers and the proportions of
the several arms, and also as
to the rank. pay and duties of
the several staff corps, and whether and
what reductions can be made either in line
or staff, in numbers or in pay, having in
view just and reasonable economy in tho
expenditure of public money, the actual
necessities of the military service and the
capacity for rapid and effective increase in
time OF actual war. The commission shall
assemble as soon as practicable, perform
their work and report to Congress. through
the President, by the first day of the next
session of Congress, with all the evidence,
record or otherwise, and the pay of the
army officers shall be according to the pres
ent rate until the fourth of March, 1877,
after which it shall be paid as fixed by the
report Of the commission, if approved by
Congress.
The bill retains the provision of the House
that hereafter the post traders shall be ap-
pointed by councils of administration, com
posed of army officers; gives authority for
employing 300 Indian scouts in place Of $50
employed under Custer. The personnel of
the army is q, 600 men, as fixed by Repre-
sentative Banning's bill, and the number of
enlisted men in the signal service is 500,
being fifty more than was originally pro-
vided for in the House bill.

Border Life, Present and Past.

Border Life. Present and Past.
The terrible fate of Custer and his gallant
three hundred adds another tragic chapter
to the great book of border events, whose
beginning dates from the earliest settle
ments Of our country, whoee end will be
only when the Indians as race shall have
become extinct.
The horrors of the Modoc campaign are
yet fresh in our memories. the historic
lava beds, Indian cunning be- filing the skill
of our soldiery for so long a time, savage
malignity and treachery eliminating in the
death of brave Candy and others whose
mission was honorable treaty and peace
der. Their parallels in device and atrocity
are only found in the deeds that compose
the history of the dark and bloody
ground or among those which mark the
bloody tracks of the treacherous Mingoes,
descending from their Great Lake fast
nesses upon the unsuspecting tribes and set
Elements of the Susquehanna and Allegheny
So with this heart rending story of Gus
ter and his men, which has been sprung
upon the country 30 suddenly, and which
is being read amid tears of sorrow and calls
for vengeance from one end of the land to
the other. Some may find its parallel in
the history OF Leonidas and his three hun
dred; some may seek for like sacrifices
amid the annals of the Scottish Chiefs or
Polish patriots. But it is only when We
turn to the thrilling chapters of our old Dor.
der history that we read and re-read in in
tensified form the bloody story of Rosebud
and Big Horn rivers. Custer and his three
hundred, ambushed by q willy foe and
melting away IN death before odds rem
dered doubly and terribly formidable by
bewildering shrieks and stealthy mode of
fighting, recall with vivid effect the tragedy
of BraddOck's Field, whose details are 80
graphically and fully narrated in that won.
derful book, "Our Western Border One
Hundred Years Ago."+
Or if other parallels be sought, they
abound in the same brilliant, stirring and
faithful volume; for Custer and Big Horn,
Candy and the lava beds. Modoc and Sioux,
are but repetitions, now fainter, now
fercer, Of Dalzell and Bloody Run, Craw-
ford and Battle leland, Harmer and the
Miami towns.
The new story, whether of victory or de-
feat, massacre or escape, cunning or adven
ture, treachery or dash, hardship or retreat,
is but an epitome of the old filed with its
quaint and primitive pOrtraitures, haloed
about by thrilling traditions, and sanctifed
to US by the facts that our fathers were
part of it and these our dwelling places
we're scenes in the midst of it.

Antoine is unexceptionable and beyond re-
proach. Fourteen years ago, he married
Miss Maria Ross, q young woman of liberal
education, native of New Orleans. He
has two interesting daughters, one Of whom
is being educated under the care Of Profes-
sOr N. T. Allen, at West Newton, Massa-
chusetts. His domestic happiness is COM
plete.
In his capacity az second officer of the
Ste to Of Louisiana Lieutenant Governor
Antoine has secured the admiration and
confidence of his race and the respect of the
whites, and his good qualities are acknowl
edged even by his political opponents. A
man of the strictest integrity, his private
character is unblemished. Always faithful
to his promise, his word once given is as
good as his bond. Frank and honest, he
ever seeks to promote the interest and well
fare of bis people and his country, and
with the stristest consistency-which is
indeed a jewel-he always corrects an or
ror when he finds he has made one. With
heart singularly free from narrow preju-
dicee; q mind remarkable for the strength of
it's common sense, q demeanor unpretending,
simple and pleasing. genial and generous
almost to a fault, he has won hosts of
friends. Indeed, he has won the praise of
even his bitterest political enemies by his
gentlemanly demeanor and unassuming
manner.
He has been called upon to discharge the
duties Of Governor ON several occasions, at
which times he has clearly demonstrated
his ability to rule by that happy medium of
susvity and strength which never governs
go well as when it does not appear to gov
ern at all.
As presiding officer of the Senate he is
impartial in his rulings, and an appeal is
very seldom taken from his decisions. In
all of his official relations he conducted
himself with that modesty which 80 fully
indicates real merit. He is thus laying q
firm foundation for lasting reputs alton,
and we predict for him . glorious future.

he could not have refused to respond to the
cry for immediate protection that came up
from his constituents from all parts Of the
State, demanding the passage of these acts.
When, however, time had developed the
mischief which the laws so enacted could
be made to work when placed in unscrupu-
lous hands, he manfully took his stand for
reform, and for two years he stood, firm rs
the rock of Gibraltar, in that cause. The
same noble principle, the same fidelity to
his people, the same honest desire to do
what was right, which induced him to vote
for these laws at one period, prompted him
to struggle with all his ability for their re-
peal. when he saw that the good of his
State demanded different legislation.
His moral courage deserves all praise.
Cutting loose from his dearest friends, sac
rificing his business interests, he joined the
reform RePublicsns, and through sunshine
and storm was as constant as the north
star, to the cause he had espoused. His
course was commended on all hands. The
Democratic party, in the ardor of their
praise, passed resolutions recommending
him and the other "Wlderness Senators
to the people for office.
Even such violent journals as the
Shreveport Times, which has since taken
peculiar delight in abusing him, went 80
far as to commend his honesty in the arm
est terms, and classed him, in these attri-
butes, above Confederate Generals and
Congressman, who were mentioned by
name. Thus, out of the mouth Of his enc
mics, was ordained praise.

Among the many artistic novelties

claiming iR determined tones, " halt. "
The Liberator opened it's batteries
Jan. l, 1881. It battled with 8 zeal
and devotion bora of the justice of its
cause. Garrison was almost alone
poor, and universally hated North as
well as South. He commenced with
the motto: s Ny country is the world
my countrymen are all mankind. I"
He said: am in earnest, will not
equivocate, will not excuse, 1 will
not retreat single inch and toiII be
heard" He boldly declared it his
purpose to " cover with thick infamy
those implicated in the slave trade,
and he did. His bold printed words
shook the nation. Indeed, they shook
the world. Despotism and slavery
everywhere tottered to their founda-
tiOHs. And it was of no avail to per-
secute Garrison, and mob him. With
such q motto and in such q cause be
was as resistless as an avalanche. The
first No. of the Liberator found the
whsle nation asleep over the wrongs
and dangers of slavery, and full of
prejudice and hatred toward the great
agitator. The last No. issued in Dec.
1865, after a stormy conflict of IS
years, not only saw the curse removed
and the slaves set free, but an amend
ment to the National Constitution
adopted, forever prohibiting slavery on
American sell. Well could Garrison
retire on his immortal laurels.
On this Centennial Thanksgiving 1
think every citizen can justly feel
proud of what the Newspapers Of his
country are and have been-for the
good they have done. Guided by men
or conscience and integrity, aud work
ng in the advocacy and defence of the
Right, they are a power. The people
and the press should always be friends.
May they continue to work together
against corruption and wrong until
Liberty and Virtue are as universal as
Gods sunshine.
