The Democrats came very nearly suiieflhg
another defeat In the House OF Representa-
tives last week on the Wood investigation
resolution. On the first day that this resolu-
tion camcup the Republicans actually had n
majority on the floor Of the House, and the
Democrats were compelled to fight for an ad-
journment by Hibustering, and on the next
day succeeded In carrying the resolution by
slim majority Of four
Absentecism is fast becoming growing
evil In Congress. The Democrats the other
day received an awkward defeat In the increase
of the army, thanks to seven Democratic Con-
gressmen who were away from Washington.
At that time it was announced that the
Democratic caucus would create a committee
ON absentees who would see that all the DEM
ocrats were In their seats whenever an Inn.
portant measure was to be voted ON. Such a
committee would seem necessary, AS quite a
number OF Democratic congressman have a
way of wandering off from Washington ut
most inopportune moments.

Under the common head. Letters from the
People" we present this morning number Of
communications on subjects just now Of the
Kravest interest to the people Of Louisiana =
Legislative reforms, constitutional convention
and the city debt. With some Of the views
presented by these writer's we agree. and to
many Of them we are opposed. We print,
however. what the people have to say on both
sides Of these great questions, and shall con-
tinue to do 80 in all eases where the con,mu-
nications are of reasonable length and do not
require revision for the press. We cannot un-
dcrtake, AZ we are frequently requested, to
correct communications. Even the reading Of
those received yesterday occupied 80 much Of
oar time TINT. with other supervisory work
we have had little or no leisure to devote to
our strictly editorial columns.

The New York San p resents most dismal
record of the swindles OF the past five years.
In list of embezzlements, defalcations and
forgeries, filing no less than three columns OF
fine type of that paper. Eighteen of these
embezzlers made off with sums exceeding
S3Oo,00o, five of the number having secured
prizes of over 81 100000 each.
Out of the list of about $50 bank cashiers
and presidents, business men, confidential
clerks, public officers, church wardens and
clergymen who have sold themselves to the
devil, tie larger part had sold themselves
comparatively cheap, more than $50 selling
themselves for sums less than $4,000.
The total amount stolen by these embezzlers
was So. .ooo, 900, about one-third of which was
secured by the dozen leading robbers Geo
graphically considered, business dishonesty
seems to have prevailed worse in the East
than elsewhere in the Union, the embezzle-
ments in that section Of the country exceeding

Gen. Banning, chairman Of the House Mill
tary Committee propos4asto report within th'
week /, bill for the complete reorganization o
the army. This bill proposes many notable
changes In the organization Of the army. anr
the system on which IL is conducted. All the
existing infantry regiments are to be eonsoli
dated into twelve or fourteen. The Commits
sary and Quartermaster's departments are te
be consolidated. The staff is to be completely
remodeled and hereafter officers assigned &c
duty as staff officers will receive no more pay
than when they are on duty with their regi-
ments.
The rank and file Of the army IL to be
slightly increased, but ~ the changes made
army fully S5,OOO,OOO annually, this will not
prove very serious objection to 1t.
There Is scarcely any need Of showing that
the army needs reform. The Department of
War itself, IN an official document, admitted
the other day that we had more staff officers
than Germany and more than sufficient for an
army of 100000 men. 1t has also been shown
that Of the oity-one coloDclS of the line not
more than four have been on duty with the
regiments for years, and only three have been
in active command of their regiments since,
the war.
Banning's bill viii certainly be recon-
mendcd by the Military Committee, and it
seems to meet with considerable approval
among tho Democratic ih Congress. The
chance of saving s5,Ooo.OoO year is one not to
be lost, 1t Is not known positively what ac-
tion Congress will take on the matter It Is
said that the Republicans will oppose it, on
the ground that il is n dangerous tampering
with the army, and that while there Is no
doubt that many abuses exist in the army or
ganization and management It would be un-
wise to change the existing laws and rcgula-
tons as completely as Banning proposes until
the entire matter has been more thoroughly

The incrtAac of suicides with civilization has
often been noticed; but their increase In this
country IL n little too rapid to be pleasant.
We are getting decidelly too civilized. The
suicides in the United States were l345 In 1870
and 1881 In 1877. With but one single excep-
ton. the increase in the number Of suicides
In every State was much greater than the in
crease In the population. In Ohio they
sprang from 1917 to l6i in five years; IN Chia-
Ro. while only 10 persons committed suicide In
1870, 20 died by their own hands In 1876 and 55

The mayor of New York, In his annual mes
sage. has called attention to n municipal habit
that prevails perhaps in every American city
government-that OF living in advance of It's
income. "In January, Tor instance he says,
1--WE find 1t necessary to borrow money for the
current expenses of the city, and to continue
the practice until November, when the yearly
taxes are payable"
He wants to remedy this evil, but does not
think that the remedy ought to be tried too
suddenly. 1t would not be practicable, for in
stance to collect the taxes for 1873 this MONTH
when the taxes of 1877 are still In large
measure uncollected. The city might, how
ever, he Thinks collect its annual levy one or
two months earlier each year. and SO in a few
years get back to the only proper system of
collecting Its revenues before expending them.
In New York this would save S54O,OOO year
on revenue bonds issued In anticipation of tax
receipts, and bring everything down to cheap
cr and cash basis.

Although the Indebtedness OF American
ritin4 j. increasing. the future shows some
possibility Of relief for taxpayers In The re-
ouctin Of interest on these debts. Mayor
Ely, Of New York. In his late message. calls
attention 10 the possibility Of this reduction,
nnd proposes n refunding of the debt Of TINT

lower rntc Of interest than is now paid. St.

| poses 20 try IL ut once. Nearly half mil
lion dollars of Its municipal debt natures
this year and as much more in 1879 A small
amount Of thiA will he paid out of the sinking
fund, but the greater portion will have to be
replaced by new bonds. 1t ia proposed to
make the interest on these new bonds A per
cent. instead of q per cent as II II now; and
M the credit Of the city Of st. Louis is excel
lent the bonds being above par it is not ut
ell improbable that the bondboldcrs will az
cept the new ~ per cent bonds for the pros
ent ones held by them. This reduction would
save st. Louis $37b,oO0 year, while the plan
proposed by Mayor Ely In New York would
benefit Manhattan to the extent Of VI OOO. 900
annually.
Similar movements have lately been dcye]-
oped i'm Tennessee and Virginia
In Tennessee, the attempt made to compel
the bondholders to take instead of per
cent interest failed although tho creditors of
the State were willing to reduce their interest
to per cent. In Virginia, he forcibIe read
j,isters propose to reduce the interest to 3 por
cent, but IL Is hardly probable that such an
offer will be accepted The offer made in Vir-
gina is much more liberal than was expected
