SAN Francisco, November 10.
There was a meeting Of dissatisfied stock
holders of the Manhattan mine last even
ing. About sixty persons were in attend-
anee. The Investigating Committee re-
ported that they had access to a duplicate
set Of books of the Committee, but that
nothing satisfactory had been arrived at.
The condition Of the Company for Septem-
Der was reported as follows: Liabilities,
$5a2, 610 %; assets, $472, S27 50. Septem-
Der bullion product, S97 ,302; October Gus
tom ores. sci ,604; tribute, 50, $50; Curtis
and other shafts, $50, 1856; October total,
$50. $40 20. The monthly October reports
have not arrived in the Office Of the Com
pany. The monthly letters on file in the
Office show, for the months Of March, April
and May, an excess Of $50, coo in bullion
products over what the journal shows for
these months. Mr.. Reese, one OF the Com
mittee. reported that the cost of milling.
according TO the statement Of the Company,
was, during the year 1871, and before
the present organization Of the Com
pany in 1873, S31 60; in 1874, $50 80;
in 1875, $31 ~. There is no doubt
whatever, the report added, that
with economical infringement the cost
of reducing ore at Austin and hauling
ought not TO exceed S21 or $50 per ton.
The cost of extracting one ton Of ore from
the ~company's mine has been sos. Not
withstanding these expenses, the net pro-
ceeds Of the company have been S110,-
1853. 73. The mining costs in the year Of
1874 were $57 go per ton. A communica-
ton from John A. Paxton, President Of
the mine, was read, in which the writer
proposed that the investigating committee
send an expert to Austin to examine into
tie affairs Of the company, and no would

A paragraph in the recently received
,ruh.r N the British Army and Macy
u,,ege contains the following interesting
information
eve learn that it is intended to raise the
rrr;tad states army in future to q peace
foot;nc Of between AZ. 1000 and SOC 600 men,
one-tbird of this number to be held in con-
stant readiness for the prompt suppression
Of probable disturbances, the other TWO
thirds 10 be distributed along the Western
frontiers, in order to keep the red man IN
check, or stationed at the various coast
and harbor defenses."
1t further appears that this increase is to
be chiefly '.in consequence OF the WORK
mems riots which took place last year in
different parts of the Union" There may
be ground for supposing that the commit
tee of Congress chosen at the last session to
effect army retrenchment will totally fail
of its task and, if it does fail, the "sup-
preston Of probable disturbances would
undoubtedly be one Of the readiest excuses
for keeping the army at its present dimen-
sions.
To make the possible service Of the regu-
lar army in coercing citizens an element OF
consideration in determining the size Of
that army, is hostile alike to the ira
ditions and the spirit Of the Re-
public. The u%tterances of the found
ers of the Government and the Ian
guaee OF the Bills Of Rights and consti-
tutions Of most of the States, show it to
be a fundamental doctrine Of American
liberty that q well-regulated militia, and
not o standing army, is q safeguard of
public order. To make the army larger
than it would otherwise be, ''in conse-
quence Of workmen's riots" or as a pos
sible protection against future riots, is a
step in the path of absolutism. Retrench-
ment is to be successfully urged, not on
grounds Of possibly using one soldier less
here, and two there, but on the broad
ground that the army has been gradually
made to perform functions properly be-
longing to local militias and to civil au-
thority.
This misuse Of the army is one source Of
its being scattered into hundreds OF little
garrisons, including the settled and quiet
parts Of the country as well as the Indian
frontiers. We're there no such reliance on
the army to perform militia duty and the
duty of c~onstabulary, a large part of the
garrisons could be given up, and the troops
sent to the regions needing them. Whether
be true, as the Gazette thinks, that the
reorganization committee is going to urge
the possibility of riots as a reason for not
recommending army reduction, we shall
learn from its report to Congress.
