THE country has been ridden to death
with soldier statesmen, so-called. These
men, bred and trained to think only Of
themselves and their companions, have
no care for the people, or the effect of
the dread Of civil war upon trade. War
is their businessman is what soldier
lives for, whether he is too cowardly to
fight or not-he recognizes state of war
as season of harvest-a time when he
may promote his own aggrandisement,
and this he is sure to do. The General
of Army never lets an opportunity slip
that he does not drawl out long speech
eulogistic of the American soldier. And
yet the glory and life of our country
heretofore was chiefly in the fact that we
had no standing army and would not
make use Of soldiers. Armies are great
cormorants and eat out the substance of
peoples, WI lie at the same time they de-
stroy all liberty and establish aristocratic
classes, from which the United States was
free. If the people will act wisely they
will urge the reduction Of the army to a
mere skeleton and advise the disband-
ment of three-fourths of the ten thousand
officers who now lounge about the coun-
try in idleness, while receiving high pay.
Only think Of the strange fact that the
rmy consists of 1900 privates and
10000 officers. The soldiers who occupy
high places will keep this up if they can.
A TRIBUNE DIsCovERY.-In an arti-
Gle on the carpet-bag exodus the New
York Tribune has made discovery
which has been apparent to all but vio-
lent partisans for many years. 1t says
"The fact is that the republican party
has been running political poorhouse
quite too long. The one fatal defect Of
its policy since the war has been that
it gave opportunity for adventures, who
were utterly without standing or consid-
Grafton in any Northern community, and
who, if not propped up by the United
States bayonets, could not have been
elected to any Office by colored men oi
the South, to fasten themselves upon the
party and the country as the representa-
tive republicans Of reconstructed States
Had the Tribune held to this view
years ago it might have done the country
a service. As it is, the very excesses o
the carpet-bag governments in the Soutl
have at length proved their downfall
The people throughout the country hav,
voted their extinction.

Horrors of a Siege.

D.. !.
One of the most remarkable episodes
of the present Turkish war, which has
not as yet received the attention it Ge.
serves, was the defense of the fort of
Bayazid in Armenia by a Russian garri- d
son of 1900 men against q. Turkish army
of 10000. The Moscow Gazette pub
fishes an account from the private Jour.
nal of garrison officer, of which the fol- ir
lowing is brief extract: 'st'es1i e''Isi
June 10.-The enemy has blockaded
us on all sides and intercepted the aque- a
ducts. One cistern and few. bags of
biscuits are all we have to live on, At
night, by the light of the burning town
beneath us, we saw the atrocities perpe-
trated by the Kurds on the helpless in
habitants. 1t was horrible beyond de-
scription. Women and children were
thrust alive into the flames and carried
about the street on lances, horribly mutt
lated and shrieking with anguish. The
sight was SO sickening that one of our
officers was quite overcome by it, and had
an attack of brain fever that night.
June General assault of the Turk
ish forces, which we succeeded in repuls
ing toward nightfall. Our rations have
been reduced to half a pound of biscuit
and one glass of water per diem. ,..,i,

summons for us to surrender. Our
commander answered that being so much
stronger the Turks could we'll try and Z
take the citadel by storm. l*bttHst ssdI
June 26.-0ur ration has been further
diminished to a quarter of pound of
biscuit and two spoonfuls of stagnant,
rotten water. We suffer terribly from
hunger and thirst. After days hard
fighting l am utterly PROSTATE and
scarcely able to write these few words.
June 28.-For two days and two nights
we have been exposed to terrific can
nonade. On the 29th general assault,
which we repulsed, followed.by repeated
injunctions to surrender, to which our a
answer was the same as before. i iii..7
