THE ARMY BILL DEFEATED,

The Greascrs were discomfted yesterday
in the House in their attempt TO peril the
nation by decimating the army. BAN
NING's bill was defeated by significant
vote, which shows conclusiyely that all the
Democrats are not Greasers now any more
than all were rebels during the war to tear
down the Government. II is only those
who are ready 10 rcvolutionze the country
for party plUndcr who seek TO deprive the
nHtion of its dclcnscs and leave it exposed to
the fury of the mob, or the destructive in
llucnCcs and forces Of revolution. Thanks
10 those patriotic men in the Democratic
party who despise the crack of the
party lash and stand' by the intcg-
rity and pcrpctuity Of the Union. The
country is full of such, and as the rcvolu-
tiOnists push their schemes to development
they will step out Of the ranks Of party and
enlist under the banner of the nations well
fare as they did when the perils of 1851 be-
gan to gather around its future. Party ties
are not strong enough to hold the true pa
triOt in partisan captivity when the Republic
is in danger. The Greuser Democrats have
been destroying public confidence in their
loyalty to the public veal for months but
the last few weeks have multiplied the sig
mails OF danger in an alarming degree. Men
who do not like the Republican party are
forced by the logic of events to recognize it
as the sheet-nnchor of the nation, and, low
ing country more than party, they will en-
list with its future fortunes as in 1861.

THE transcendental publcst who writes
the dispatches from Washington to the New
York H,uH that are displayed under the
ostentntiOus caption From Our Special

Republicans in the House on "Wednesday
last, under the lead Of Mr.. HALE, lifted
"thcir hands against the Presidential title"
A more dcspiCablD and tOrtuDus mSrcprr-
,CntatiOn Of the facts in the case could
hardly be invented by this ingenious and
chronic malcOntent The truth is, and he
knew it, the Republicans, ~ party, re-
fused TO vote on the CARTER Harrison
resolution last Wednesday. They refused
because they knew their refusal would fnrcc
an exposure Of the real und revolutionary
designs of the Democracy, and did not pro-
pose by their aid 10 enable the Opposition
to go to the country with claim Of non.
interference with the Title. It was Il proper
refusal, and its result simply and eiicctuLlly
balkrd the little game of the ant-Grrilscr
Democracy to carry oil the credit Of having
secured the President from the danger that
threatened him of being placed under Obli-

DEMOCRNTIC ECONOMY.

The National Capital is full of the mar
ve!s Of Democratic economy. Take the
Patent Office Building rs one specimen.
There Is the wreck of connagration which
occurred nearly eight months ago, and Con-
grcss has been in session for more than seven
months and yet no provision has been made
for restoring and preserving that valuable
property.
Then again, the Patcnt-Oflice affords
ocratic wisdom and economy. The Com
missioner of Patents estimated for his
Bureau for the year ending June 30, ISIS,
for an appropriation of SlO5,00O, and Con-
grrSS appropriated the sum of $6O,OOO
This appropriation, under constant in
| lst of last April. The Commissioner
then asked for deficiency of SiO,OOO,
and the Secretary of the Interior asked
| for deficiency Of some $4,000 To
meet both these deficiencies Congress
appropriated $4,000, to be disposed of us
he might determine Under the division
THE latcnt-OaCe received less than one
! third OF tins amount, which lasted for
about three weeks, and now the work of the
office is at stNnd-stll, The patent spcci-
icarions are now increasing at the rate of
800 per week, with some 800 on hand at the
time Of the suspension. 1t is easy
enough to see what the effect of
this will be upon the inventive
genius Of the country. While this pnrsi-
mony may be aimed ut Department of
the Government, its worst consequences
fall upon the inventors throughout
this great country The patcntecs, under II
rule Of the Phtcnt-Ollicc, must pay the fees
in advance, and the lowest Of these is
SO in Il single case, and some are twice or
thrice that sum. This money is now lying
idle in the Treasury, and the patentccs can
neither get their money nor their patents.
This i, Democratic economy and justice.

SENATOR Zen. HILL, pending the debate
on the GRANT SHIELDS pension hill, 50 far
departed from the dignity of his position as
to endorse, by repeating it, a current SANDER
against General GRANT. The press report
of this portion of his remarks reads us fol.
lows:
do not know that General GRANT will ac-
ccpt this retirement If the bill should pass.
Perhaps he may; he docs not refuse much.

memory Of the chivalrOus refusal TO accept
the historic sword of General ROBERT T.
LEE, so bravcly welded for the South from
its first unshcnthing TO its honorable sur

MT restrain such insults to General GRANT,

times is written, the men who first agreed
TO submit the Title contest TO the Electoral
