THE Army BILL.
Washington, Nov. 1.-THE army bill
q reported to the senats to-day from the
committee on appropriations is amended BY
the entire omission Of the clause inserted

cavalry regiments should be recruited 70 the
full force of 1000 men each. and kept in
service on the Texas frontier. but that the
total number ofmen on the army rolls should
be limited to 20. 600. The senate committee
recommend the insertion in place of the
mandatory provision concerning the use Of
troops in Texas, the following clauses.
Cavalry regiments may be recruited TO
100 men in each company. and kept -
near as prac ;icable to that number. and a
sufficient force Of cavalry shall be employed
in the defense of the Mexican and Indian
frontier Of Texas. The committee do not
recommend any Increase in mounts voted
by the hou.e but on the contrary propose .

version Of smooth bores to riaed cannon;
$4,000 in the amount for hospitals; $780,

The official statistics of our commerce show that
the large excess Of exports over imports which
characterized the year 1876, has been materially
reduced. The balance in favor of this country be-
ing something like an hundred millions less this
year than last; but remaining at about one hun
dred million still. To this must be added in esti.
mating the future, the fact that the largest exports
for the current calendar year have not gone forward
or are not included in any figures yet presented.
We have an immense value in cotton, corn, wheat
and meat, which Europe is sure to make large de.
mands upon. There is also an accumulation OF
the precious metals going on in this country. The

according to law are increasing in force. Op-
posed to the natural and benefcent working of
these elements is the wild and wicked legislation
initiated in Congress- This, it is said, has 90 far
had no injurious effect upon credit abroad but
who can say how long such reckless arguments
and such unwise votes can be entertained and
given with impunity. The course of the demo-
cratic majority IN Congress tends directly not only
to parayze industry at home, but to cause the re-
turn to us of the bonds held abroad. 1t looks
now as though we should be dependent upon the
Presidential veto for financial safety and it is
whispered in Washington that President HAYES
has views of his own in regard to the silver bills
which are not fully understood either by republi.

The South Reasserting its
Power.

The dough face democrats of the North
must prepare to take back seats in the
management of the democratic party
The South has bold leaders and the con-
trolling strength in the party. and they are
not going to be managed by their northern
brethren. Just as fast as they are able
and just as far as they can. they will turn
the government to the interests of the
South. The following article from the
Raleigh, North Carolina) Observer of
Nov. 4, gives an inkling OF the purpose
of the south.
The present Congress affords to Southern mem.
bers an opportunity for true statesmanlhip that

solid South can, IL will, shape the policy Of the
Naiionsi Democratic Party, and in doing that
control the destiny Of the county. They now
have the power iL their hands, and, having that,
they must be held responsible for it. use-a re-

cratic party and from the application of which the
South is to regain all she has lost The time has
gone by for Southern men to take back seats and

Tho Renson why.

The other evening in Washington
q meeting of Reforme:s was held to
agitate the adjustment of the Pres
idency. The leading spirit in the
movement was Dr.. Mary Walker,
of the bifurcated garments. Her
motive for advocating the move
ment is found in her dislike for the
President. and thereby hangs a tale.
DR.. Walker has had a claim before
every successive Congress since the
war for nursing soldiers, and also
was accustomed to call frequently
at the White House TO enlist the
sympathies and aid of President
Grant. She seat her card into him
day after day, but never could OBJ
tain an audience. Finally, becom-
ing discouraged and disguised, she
sent the President a note complain
ing of his treatment as a servant of
her, sovereign of this great Amer
lean people. Ga the reverse of this
note, when it was returned to her,
was written the following:
Whenever Mrs. Walker will APP
pear at the door of the Executive
Chamber in apparel becoming her
sex she will be admitted.
