ORGANIZATION or MILITIA "A Wash

Sam says that Senator Henry G.. Davis,
Oh TINS State, who has been giving much
attention to the subject.has concluded TO
actress himself TO the preparation of a
plan to encourage the organization OF
the militia OF the States through the aid
OF the general government. Senator
Davis he's communicated his views to \
number OF Senators and members. and
finds that they make very favorable
impression. Senator Davis proceeds on
the idea, and in this he is sustained by
very many, that the true way TO insure
domestic peace and tranquility is not to
increase the regular army, but TO provide
an efficient militia. This is also the
view of O number of members of the
House, who advocate an army reduction
IL is held that the regular army in time
of peace should be brought down to the
lowest standard consistent with the
proper care Of the public works. fortifi-
cation, &C., TO the necessities of frontier
duty. Then let the general government
supply arms, ammunition, &C.. to the
several States, and also make annual
appropriations in money to aid them in
putting their militia on an efficient foot.

EASTERN WAR NEws.-The situation
in the East has somewhat changed with
in n few days. The Turks have met
with several heavy reverses, but they
are still fighting with the obstinacy
which has characterized them from the
beginning Of the war. Though Kars is
in state of siege, the last reports say
that the garrison has resolved defend It

fortress. and being we'll garrisoncd and
provisioncd, twill doubtless be able TO
hold out fora long time. The last Rus

In store, has SO far kept the votes OF
the party in reasonable degree of har.

cause OF the administration while it has

the Northern States been the means of
bringing out larger Republican vote
than would otherwise have been thrown.
The Republican Conventions in Massa-

important questions Of party policy and
the friends of Mr.. Hayes in the one

This condition OF things can hardly
continue however. The contest must
