The IiUuOr Register.

Virginia papers have been looking after the
results OF the new method Of taxing liquor
since Mr.. Nlofett's registers have been put in
operation. You take your whiskcy punch;
you pay your dime or two dimes; barkeeper is
Instructed to turn a crank and presto there
is registered one drink, for which the State
gets two and half cents. You take your
glass of lager; another register, another turn
OF the crank, and the State gets half cent.
Results thus far quite satisfactory, save in
Norfolk and Alexandria. Judging from the
population, and knowing the bibulous habits of
many males;given such population, the register
ought to show so many drinks. But in Nor
folk and Alexandria they do not show as they
do elsewhere. Consequently the papers draw
conclusions. They say either Norfolk and
Alexandria do not drink as much as their
nelghbors-a stretch of charity the papers
will not make-or, and here comes the rub,
our barkeepers cheat. Norfolk, with $4,000
inhabitants, reports only 1858 tax; Alexan-
dria, with 10000, only s4s2,while Stanton,
with only 5000 Inhabitants, gives in SITS.
1t is evident there is something wrong; and
people arc wicked enough to say of Alexsl.
dria and Norfolk they are cheating-one Of the
Richmond papers telling Alexandria Il needs

The army bill is meeting with distractions
the Senate. As reported TO that body yes
terday the bill as it came from the House was
amended By striking out the mandatory clause
requiring four cavalry regiments to be recruited
TO the full force CT 200 men or service on the
Mexican frontier aud imitiog the entire force
to 20.O0) men. and inserting instead a clause
providing that the cavalry regiments may be
recruited to Que hundred mcn 10 each company
and kept az near as possible to that number,
and sufficient force Of cavalry shall be en-.
ployed 10 the defence Of the Mexican and 10
dian fronlier Of Texas. The whole bill is
piece Of bad legislation. 1hs army should be
large euoogh to guard and protect the entire
country, and If its commanding officer can not
be relied upon as judge Of its proper location
he should b.: impeacbad and removed. The
idea of providicg By law for the disposition Of
troops is ridiculous army officers and not legis
lators are supposed TO know Where troops are
needed, aad il they dou't know, they should give
place To Others who do.

PENNSYLVANIA LIKELY TO BRIDGE THE
DANUBE-On Monday foreigner, evidently
q Prussian by birth, visited the Office of the
keystone Bridge Company, 10 this city, and
stated that he was an agent of the Government
Of Russia, and exhibited documents to prove
his assertion. He said he was empowered to
make contract with parties in this country for
the construction of bridge to be thrown across
the river Danube 10 Rounania for the purposes
Of the war now raging between Russia and Tur.
key. The terms stipuate an iron bridge Of
2,l00 feet in length. which, however, must not
have single span for support. lie said the
structure must be finished 10 time for the open
ing of the spring campaign in order that the
army may be marched across the river. The
Russian Government, he declared, is ready to
spend S., 900 900 upon the bridge. A reporter
of the North American learned these facts at
the office of the Bridge Company yesterday af
ternoon. It will be impossible to construct a
bridge of this length without span, unless it
be suspension, and under no circumstances
could it be put up within tho time specified.
The Russian agent visited other bridge COM
pauies, but bis success is not known.-Phi2a.
