THE ARMY.
Gen. sherman,s Annual Re,or,

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-The annual report Of
Geu. Sherman shows the actual strength of The
army Oct. 18th, to be as follows:
GENERAL officers IL; general staff officers 566
hospital stewards 1856; eneineer battalion 199
oronance enlisted men 346; enlisted men OF
stan corps 73l; ten regiments of cavalry, off.
GERS 439, enlisted men 1911; five regiments of
artillery, officers 284, enlisted men 1921; TWEEN
ty-hve regiments of infantry, officers S77. en-.
listed men 2,77S, besides which there are sep.
arateo as non-com mlssioned staff unattached
TO regiments, military academy recruits upas-
signed, Indian scouts and prison guard amount
ing to 1877; signal corps 404; retired officers
3Ol, and captain of United States army by act
OF Congress l aggregating officers and men
A,5ol, OF which the force available for war is
made up OF the cavalry artillery and infantry
regiments amounting to 20,601 officers and men,
to which should bo added the II general off,
GERS and the officers of the general staff serving
with, together with $40 Indian scouts, The
General details the operations of the army dur
ing the year.
1t appers that General Sheridan in recon-
mendlDg an increase of every company in the
service to 100 men, expressed the opinion that
mad this been the case some time ago Indian
troubles could have been settled promptly with
strong probability that there would not have
occurred any at all. Sheridan adds: Indian
troubles in my division are over for the present,
cannotsay they are finally ended. Compli
cations are still liable to arise and our expert
ebce snoulo teach us to be better prepared than
we have heretofore baep
Mr.. Sherman says he agrees with Sheridan's
recommendation which would raise the army
to nearly 80 600 men, but despars of success in
such application to Congress and thereto
earnestly urges such legislation as will give us
$4,000 men for the regiments of the line. This
would make for the present 430 companies, an
average OF 81 to company. 81 believe" he
adds, lit to be wrong and damaging to increase
tae cavalry at the expense of artillery and in
1antry. The latter do as good service as cav
airy, are as necessary and cost much less for
malateoance. All are equally necessary asd
should De on par, but the President should
have the right to increase companies stationed

CONFERENCE WITH THE PRESIDENT.
The committee of Republican senators Sc
lected 10 the caucus last Saturday, consisting
Of Senators Edmunds, Kirkwood, Hamlin,
Christiancy, Bruce and Howe, called on the
President Tuesday and had full and
frank interchange of views upon the political
situation and the relations between the Presi-
dent and Senate. The topic upon which most
OF the discussion turned was the appoiL tine Mt
OF Democrats in the South to office, in regard
to which Mr.. Hamlin is understood to have ex-
pressed very decided views. 1t was generally
agreed, however, that where appointees were
IN accord with the spirit of the reconstruction
acts aud would administer the offices for the
good of the whole people, the appointments
would be confirmed Senator Bruce is under
stood TO have indicated his intention to give the
Presidents policy aud nominations cordial
support. The interview is represented as sat s.
factory on both sides, and is certain to brir o
ABOUT good understanding between the resi-
dent aud the Senate. Another caucus will
probably be held late in tue week
THE RESUMPTION REPEAL DEBATE.
The debate on the resumption repeal bill will.
according to the present programme, close on
Friday afternoon, and the bill aud amend
ments will be voted on on Saturday. The list
otspeaKers Is increasing, and many members
will be Obliged to p int their remarks 10 the
Rkcord. General Ewing will close the discus
Sion, and expects to be able to defeat all the
amendment and substitutes and to carry the
committees bill with the Fort amendment re-
tanning free banking by decided majority.
ANYTHING BUT BLAND.
Representative Bands performance at the
meeting of the senats's finance committee on
Tuesday evening excites much unfayorabls
comment among members of the committee
and the opponents of the pending silver bill,
MIR. Bland, as is asserted was present by in
tation of President Jones, aud his treatment
OF the New York and Philadelphia men was far
fIom courteous or respectful. He shook his
list In their faces calling them 'sYou men of
Wall street. ,anl telling them that thew did not
pay the debt of the country, but that the la
boring men OF the North and West did. At
the close OF his TRADE he attached the usual
threat of open reputation if the demands of
the silver men wer3 not respected. 1t is GER
tain that the cause of silver in the senate has
not been helped by Mr. Bands advocacy. A
member OF the committee Oh aracterizes the
speech as the widest and wickedest he ever
heard made by public man.
