GUN-CoTToN IN WARFARE.--Accord-
ing to our Woolwich correspondent, an
other use has been found for gun-cotton
in warfare. The novel explosive is to
be employed for disabling the guns of
the enemy. 1t is to take the place, in
fact, of the spike and of the armorers
hammer. A slab of gun-cotton, simply
laid upon the muzzle or gun and detona-
ted, 50 Injuries and distorts the weapon as
to render it practically useless for firing
while in the case of a muzzle-loader it at
once precludes any attempt to load the
gun. The old plan, it may be remem-
bered, OF rendering an enemys gun use
less after stormng battery, was to
spike them by driving an armorer's nail
into the vent or touch-hole, and then in
the event of the attacking party being
driven out Of the battery again, or retlr-
ing, the weapons Duld not be used
against them-at any rate for time.
The rapid injuring OF gun by means of
gun-cotton IN the way now suggested
will prevent the cannon ever being en-
ployed again; but this is, after all, a
questionable advantage, for in the case
OF spiked gun, if the enemy can use it
once more ON the subsequent boring out
OF the spike, so also may the storming
party, should they prove strong enough
to hold the position. This is not the
first application that has been made OF
gun-cotton fol the purposes Of destruc-
tion before the enemy. A new body
OF men termed Cavalry Pioneers, first
created by the Austrians, and now adop-
ted in the British army, are to employ
charges of gun-cotton III similar way
for breaking railway lines and destroy
ing bridges quickly. The trooper
mounted on strong and rapid horse, is
provided with belt containing few
pounds of compressed gun-cotton, and
on arriving at railway he dismounts
and places charge upon one of the rails.
The gun-cotton is detonated with fuse
and the result is that half yard Of met
al is seen flying over the next hedge
Probably not more than sixty seconds
are necessary to work the mischief, but
the man is up and away before the ex-
plosion can take place. In the case of
bridges the work is naturally of longer
duration, but two or three intelligent
men would not be long in discovering a
weak point in the structure, and adjust
ing their charges so as to do the greatest
amount of harm. London News.

MOTION FOR A GRANT IN AID OF THE
RHoDoPE SUFFERERS WITHDRAWN.
LONDON, Dec. l7.-An editorial in
The Times to-day says: Some commo-
ton was caused in the House of Com
mons by the Chancellor of the Excheq-
uer that he would not proceed with the
moion for a grant III aid of the sufferers
in the Rhodope district. The Opposi-
ton triumphed over the sudden change
of front, yet the introduction and with
drawal Of the motion became very sim
ple when then the reasons are stated.
it was thought by The Ministers that the
distres revealed by the report OF the
Rhodope Commission was fitting OBJ
ect for Parliamentary aid, but it would
have been indecorous to make an act OF
charity the occasion of heated debate,
and the purpose of the Government was
no sooner known than it was clear it
would be resisted on both sides OF the
House. The Chancellor of the EXcheq
uer thought it better to refrain IRON
making the motion even at the cost o
sarcasm, with which he was rewarded
last night. Many conservatives are op
posed to grant public money at time o
severe distress at home, and a large par
of the Opposition would have seen II
the act political purpose.

NEEDLESS EXPENDITURE OF OVER
$3.50, ,00C-THE LAW VIOLATED.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.-Mr. Glover of
Missouri, Chairman of the Committee
on Expenditure in the Treasury Depart
ment, has sent to Mr.. Atkins, Chairman
of the Committee on Appropriations, a
statement to the effect that national
bank netes have been printed in the Bu-
rea of Engraving and Printing instead of
under the direction of the Comptroller OF
the Currency, as the law requires, and
that the bureau obtained work on the
back of notes by offering to do II tor S8.-
92 thousand Impressions, which was
less than the bid of any of the seven bid
ders; but from Jan. to July l, 1873. only
about one sixth of the work was done at
this price, the rest being charged secret
ly S14 thousand for the second PRINT
ing, or green tint, and $50 thousand for
the third printing, or faces. Mr.. Glover
says that Congress and the public have
been deceived as to this expenditure
that the bureau figures are wholly un
trustworthy; that the bureau reports DC
not make proper showing of cost, and
that the bank note printing indicates
needless expenditure and extravaganza
within the last fiscal year TO the amoan'
of IN ore than S130, 900. The expenditures
or the bureau before 1874 are not ever
known, being mixed with so-called eX
penses of the national loan, and 1t woult
take corps of clerks six months to as
certain the actual state of the account.
