The work of the commission charged
with devising a plan for the r~eorganiza-
ton of the army has apparently come to
a dead lock, the last meeting having been
held some three weeks ago. The differ
ence OF the commission turns upon the
adoption of the German principle of a
large company OF two hundred and fifty
men as the unit, which brought up to a
war footing, enables the war department
to double or treble the size of the army
without increasing the numter Of regi.
ments or impairing its efficiency, and a
combination of the present system under
which the number of men is very small

The English Navy of the Future.

The recent experiments at Spezzia
have shewn that steel plates manage to
keep out the terrible missiles from the
hundred ton gun, although the
metal gets fractured in the operation,
and, if we contemplate still increasing
the plating of our vessels, steel will
probably replace iron in future. Against
torpedoes steel has always proved to be
a greater protection than iron, and on
this account the change would also be
advisable. But the recent preparations
of the admiralty seem to point rather to
a belief in unarmored vessels, fer of the
forty ships that were under construction
in the summer no fewer than thirty-six

During the last session the house com

would have conduct of all Indian affairs,
regulating the support of tribes, thu res
ervation and sale of their lands. %and
their civilization. Another plan pro.
poses to raise the rank of the Indian
commissioner, and place that officer at
the head OF a department like the depart
ment of agriculture. While the course
OF all legislation is extremely doubtful
this winter, it is not improbable that
some definite action may be taken by the
house. The summary execution OF Gen.
Sheridan's order of 1869, requiring
troops to attack all Indians found off
their reservation, where execution in
the past has, Col. Moneypenny claims,
cost fifty million dollars, is causing con
siderable criticism, and, according to
the Indian commissioner, is likely to
precipitate an Indian war in the south
west.

One Phase of English Law.

Mr.. John Rigby, the inventor of the
Rigby rife and one of the famous shots
of the first Irish international rife team,
was recently fined e. los. for firing one
Of his own guns without a special permit.
He had made some change in his rifle
which he wished to test by experiment,
and in doing so violated a provision Of
the Arms Licensing act, which prohibits
the discharge Of firearms without a
special permit from the commissioner of
inland revenue. The case attracts
attention as illustrating the sever
ity of English rule owe Ireland. 1t also
shows that the government is no respect
er ofperson, but fines the rich manufac-
turer equally with the lawless prowler
among the bogs.-BostOn Transcript.

Centennial Receipts of the Pennsylva.
mia Road.

We understand that the Pennsylvania
railroad company, in net cash receipts
for the year 1876 estimating the month
Of DeCember), is at least one and a quar-.
ter million of dolllrs in excess ofthe net
cash receipt in 1875. We see it stated
that the officers of the company have
been engaged since the close of the CEN
tennial exhibition in e%ndeavoring to as,
certain their business on the great six
months transportation campaign. 1t is
estimated that the entire number Of pas
seugers carried during Il csc six months
exceeds $500, 900 and to accommodate
this multitude 22,j42 trains, composed
of l44, 264 cars, were dispatched. Dur,
ing May the passengers are placed at
SOC, ZOO, and during the following three
summer months mt 1,000,0 900. The
greatest days receipts came in on the
24th of October, when AS, 700 persons
were transported over the road and fifty
eight thousand dollars were received for
tickets. The company had to employ
over 5000 attendants, and was compelled
to borrow cars from other lines, MANY of
which have been but just returned. Dur
ing the six months of the centennial
season, closing November 10Th, $50,
nearly 5000, 600 passengers were carried
by the Erie railway without a single ac-
cident or injury, or the loss of a piece of
baggage.-PhHddeLphja Lcigey.

The ~postotfice department calls atten-
ton TO the provisions of the general postal
union treaty made at Berne, which positively
prohibits the transmission in the mails of
gold or silver money, jewels or precious ar.
t%icles, or any other article whatever liable to
customs duties. -
A distressing case of restitution Wa
discovered the other day in Baltimore. A
man and his wife, the latter with a ha f.fam.
ished baby at her breast, were found pros.
trated with sickness, and in the same room
the corpocs of three young children, starved
to death.

Their removal will commence at once. The

national body at Chicago was largely preoc.
cupied with arrangements for buying and
selling so as to dispense with middlemen.
When the war closed the government
had an immense amount of rolI;n, ..o,L. |
and other railroad material upon its hands.
Instead of removing it, it was sold to the
southern railroads on credit, and their in.
debtedness to the government finally reached
more than seven millions of dollars. There
were fifty roads so indebted and all but FIVE
have finally liquidated their indebtedness.
The total amount now due, principal and in
)terest, from these five is 81, 76s, 55S. This is
certainly a good showing.
