The National House OF Representatives
has passed bill providing that only such
number of graduates Of the Academy in
any one year shall be entitled to appoint
ment az 2d lieutcnants in the army, as are
required to fiji vacancies in that grade eX-
isting on the 1st of July in each year, those
entitled to appointment to said vacancies
to be determined by the academic board
Oh the basis of their standing in the grad
uating class, and hereafter do supernum-
cry officers shall be attached to any COM
pany or corps OF army. and all graduates
of the academy who are not appointed to
the army under the provisions of this act,
shall be discharged upon the graduation
of rhoir class. Under the past and present
arrangement West Point graduates were
at once commissioned I'd lleutcnants, but
1t Is now proposed to commission II such as
are needed for actual service.

NO, SIl.;, NUNE OF THAT PRESCRIPTION,
for such we may characterize it. We
have heard it intimated from various
sources that provision Is to be inserted
in the State Constitution prohibiting
citizen from being candidate for election
to Office while holding that or any other
official position, and this under the osten-
sibe plea that an official is liable to use
the Influence OF his position for his reten-
tion IN office or tor turthur political all
yancement. 1t will be seen that this pro-
position goes further than the one-term
principle so much talked of nowadays.
This Is the specious sophistry of design
ing politicians who would disqua.ify com
petent and trustworthy officials 10 make
room Tor themselves. The principle at
vanced in disqualification scheme Is not
tenable. 10 say that an Official can cor
rupt y use the influei ce OF his office to
secure his reelection or III thur advance
meut is to say that the people the source
Of all pow and authority are corrupt.
The propo ition, Oh a siglt Onsideration,
becomes palpably absurd. You will OBJ
serve that NJ sooner does an official be-

Before the late war began the debt
of Turkey was 81, ,125,0OO,00O. The
revenue for 1876 was $95,531, ,7G0,
and the expenditure was $115,7l6,.
$50. Thus while the empire was at
peace its income was too short foI
it's extravaganza by about $20,000,,
900 a year. The war has, OF course,
added much to the debt, but per-
haps not so much as might be sup,
posed, because no foreign country
would lend the porte anything, and
forced loans on its own subjects
were its main resource. 1t carried on
the war almost without money, and
under these trying circumstances
made creditabls resistance. ltnow
has &c carry an augmented national
debt, while its resources are dimin
ished to the extent of the great tri,
butte heretofore paid by the provinces
now lost. Up to this time Turkey
has been considered a formidable
military power, though not one of
the great powers. Henceforward her
extreme weakness may be better
pro lection against the aggression of
a pow erlul foe than the strength she
has beeh able to muster, which gave
some appearance OF an ability to take
care of herself. But Turkey is left
in wretched plight by the war. The
conference looks little like anything
else than proceeding to administer
on the sick mans small remaining es-
tate.-"Oregonian."

The Dyersburg TENN State Gazette, says:
''The Mexican dollar has deprecated at this
place from one dollar to ninety cents. This
was intended as a swindle $50 caled) by some
parties here who bought them up for less and
then put them out for dollar. 1t is said in
Newburn that three thousand dollars were
put on the people in that way, the parties
doing it getting three hundred dollars by the
swindle. This ID nice case for the grand
jury. The parties should go around consci-
entiously and hunt up every man and pay
him over his ten cents" These dollars were
sent for to Mexico at a low price and circu-
lated here at the full price of a gold dollar
The APPEAL warned the people against the
swinde with this foreign coin at the time,
but another Memphis paper assured the
people they could take it with entire con-
fdence. Here is the result. An immense
tax paid to Mexico, and self-imposed, while
we are grumblinR about the tax we have to
pay our government. 1t will be we'll for the
people to slft out papers that lead them to
loss.

inal courtroom was jammed with an excited
crowd. Lan9ham, with cool indifference, sat
smoking a cigar, while Harriet Samples, his
alleged negro mistress, sat quietly at his side.
The prosecuting attorneys for the State in
sisted that the testimony for the State should
5e reduced TO writing, notwithstanding the
defendant had waived examination. An ex-
citing wrangle over this point ensued, the
assemblage siding with the pros ecuting attor-
nays and frequently applau ling them. When
the magistrates announced their determine
ton 10 remand Laughan to Jail without
taking testimony, an attorney for the prose-
cution junfoed to his feet exclte1ly ana said
he would take tLe natter before magistrates
who understood the law. This was followed
by an outburst of applause, whilst vas pro-
longed, and in the midst of the utmost con-
fusion the court adjourned. A mandamus
was issued tonight compelling The magis-
trates to reduce the testimony Of the prose-
cu0pg witnesses to writing, which will be
done tomorrow morning.
