"THERE is O movement on foot" says
a Washington dispatch OF August 18th,
(which will be vigorously pressed the
coming session of congress, to induce
that body to increase the infantry regi-
ments of the army to twelve companies
each, instead of ten, as now constituted,
and allow each regiment an additional
lieutenant-c colonel and major. II sue
cessful it would give to the army % lieu
tenant-colonels, and the same number
of majors, 80 captains and lOC
lieutenants, in all 200 commissioned
officers. The pressure for such increase
comes from the south, the object being,
II successful, to induce the president 10
select the officers thus to be appointed
from that section. 1t is thought by
those who will agitate the subject, that
II the president will assure southern
representatives that he will select Off
GERS from the south, it will receive
almost the solid support of its repre-
sentatives, sufficient to carry the meas
ure through congress. 1t will be
urged upon southern representatives that
such legislation will tend to produce a
good feeling toward the army in the
south. and will remove the prejudice
which has existed against it since the
close of the war. Inasmuch as such q
movement would tend to further popu.
larize the president among the southern
people. it is more than probable that he
will recommend legislation looking to
the Increase of the army, and will cite
the experience of the recent railroad
strikes as evidence that larger military
force is desirable"

The Washington correspondent of the

District Attorney George NJ. Duskin, of
the Southern district of Alabama, is here
for the purpose OF attempting to prevent
a further destruction of the monitor Te-
cumseh, sunk in Mobile harbor in 1864,
when Farragut captured the forts. 1t is
understood that wrecking company
purchased the monitor some months ago
from Secretary Richardson, and, not
withstanding the fact that 200 men are
entombed therein, were preparing to

facts in this case are that Attorney Dusk>
IN, after the sale Of the Tecumseh filed a
bill in the circuit court of the United

company from blowing up the sunken

the bill filed, 1t is understood that the

Sherman, The RefOrmrT,
From the Quincy Heral,


In his Mansfield speech the other
day the secretary of the treasury boosted
OF the great work of reform and retrench>
ment set on foot by Mr. Hayes admins
tratlon, and especially the department OF
which the speaker was chief. "The eX-
peDses of the government" said Mr..
Sherman, "were unnecessarily large and
have been much reduced. This has been
done in all the departments. and especi-
ally in the treasury department, which,
from the magnitude of its operations,
employs throughout the United States
| about twelve thousand persons. In
one bureau alone, that Of engraving and
| printing, the force was reduced sos per-
sons, saving $3G0,C)0 annually. In the
| New York custom house the number
has been reduced llG, saving S255,0O0,'
and at Baltimore large saving has been
! made, The secretary continues the
reCital.o other retrenchments,in including
large amount saved in rents of buildings
used by the department, the aggregate
exceeding one million dollars. Other in
stances OF economy were referred to, and
it must be admitted that Mr.. Sherman
substantiated his assertion that the cX-
penses of Grants government had been
unnecessarily large. But isn't that just
what the Democrats have been insisting
upon: Have they not asserted, as John
Sherman now asserts, and proves, too,
that an unreasonable extravaganza
characterized both of Grants terms of
office: And, furthermore, it becomes
pertinent query why Mr.. John Sherman
did not raise his voice long ago againts
the continuance of this extravaganza.
He was IN a position to know all about
it. Chairman of the senate finance COM
mittee, a position which gave him an
Insight into matters of expenditure
more than some Cabinet men,
bers possessed, he must have known
that millions of dollars were being squan
dered, and yet in his campaign speeches,
and in all his public uttarance he con-
tended that it was impossible to econo.
mize further. Why the reduction of
appropriations by the Democrat House
had no more violent opponent than TINS
same John Sherman. It would appear
that the secretary's principles are all on
the surface; he is convicted out of his
own mouth, and when such "refOrmersn
step forward to engineer retrenchment
the people can look out for some heavy
leakages. We think somebody else
"would be better man in his place"

The business of life.insurance thriyes
upon the hottest aud tenderest OF human
affections. 1t is by appealing to the
husbands love Tor his wife and children.
and to his solicltude for their welfare IN
case he should be taken away by death,
that the insurance agent reaps his har.
vest of premiums. In undertaking in
the event of his death to provide a given
sum for their benefit tor fixed annual
premium, the insurance company under.
takes to that extent the divine function Of
becoming q husband to the widow and
father to the fatherless. TO enter this
sacred sphere Of the affections in the dis.
gruSe OF guardian and friend, only TO
ply the vocation OF the robber and the
gambler, and TO dcsolate the households
i had solemnly pledged itself to protect,
is a crime not against the laws Of finan.
clal morality alone. 1t Is a crime against

TIE revelations made by Ex-Governor
Moses touching the official yillainy in
South Carolina under his administration
and that Of his predecessor, Scott, in
crease in interest and are far reaching in
their ramifications. The bankrupt poll
tician seems disposed to make a clean
breast it. A committee of able men
have spent many days in draw
ing him out and are not half
through with their work. The
extent of the robberies already confessed
staggers belief. but it is given out that
Moses produces the papers 70 back his
words and does not spare himself as par
ticeps criminis. He estimates his own
receipts in the way OF bribery and cor
yyRti9p ct hall q million dollars, but the
at nearer a million by tour hundred
thousand. AS to where the money
went he strictly says he "spent it all" and
those who are acquainted with his profit
gate habit can well believe it. Accord
ing to his story $4,000 came to him, in
one pile, from "Honest" John Patterson,
who still holds seat in the Unitod
States Senate, and voted for an investi-
CATION of the Oregon case, that the
Senate might be purged of any unwor-
thy member. Patterson thought the
bribery OF individual members of the
legislature was a clumsy way OF doing
uisness, and proposed that Moses should
take the sum named and run the concern
on joint account. Under the improved ar
rangement things worked smoothly, and
Honest John obtained his senatorship
without doing very much of the dirty
work with his own hands. This is only
specimen brick OF the structure of
raud reared by these scoundrels. And
yet was once honestly believed by
many people that the stories of carpet
bag rascality in South Carolina were
Democratic campaign lies with very
slight substratum OF truth.
