Army Reorganization.
HARRISBURG, May 2O.-The following passed
both branches of the legislature tonight:
WHEREAS, In the act of Congress making
appropriations for the support of the army,
provision has been introduced for its reorgan-
ization and reduction.
WHEREAS, Said proposed reduction is not de-
sired by the people of this commonwealth, be-
ieving as they do that it is the duty of the
national government to be prepared at all times
to protect settlers in the far West
while engaged in avocations of peace from
molestation by lawless and hostile savages,
and also to prevent violations of our
southern northern frontiers by any parties
from either side; and further to be able to lend
such assistance as may be necessary to State
governments temporarily unable to preserve
public peace within their several limits.
WHEREAS, For these purposes the national
army is too small, rather than too large, and
should be increased rather than reduced /;
therefore,
RESOLVED. BY the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives of the commonwealth of Pennsyl-
vania, that our Senators in Congress be in
structed, and our Representatives be requested
to oppose any reduction of the national army
as unwise and dangerous to the welfare, pros
perity and happiness of the people in the Unit
ed States.

Experienced In the Purchase Of Silver
Bullion.
New YORK, M1y 20.-The treasury department
has discontinued payment of standard silver
dollars for treasury notes at the sub-treasury in
this city. The object of paying out silver for
greenbacks was to get the former into general
circulation, but nearly all issued in this man
ner from the sub-treasury returned to it in pay
ment of customs duties to persons concerned,
thereby saving the premium on gold. For sim

WASHINGTON, May 20.-The following tele-
graphic summary Of the Investigations and OPP
erations of revenue agents in Cincinnati has
been received by the commissioner of internal
revenue:
CINCINNATI, May l9.-To Green B. Raum,
commissioner of internal revenue: In reply to
your telegram of last evening, we report that
an examination of the condition of this district
has been in progress the past week in the man
ner indicated by you. The result convinces us
that there has not been an effective organiza-
ton of the district. A portion of the local
force employed by the collector have been di-
relict in their duties. There has been no gem
eral or special canvass Visits to taxpayers and
examination of books of manufacturers have
been infrequent. There has been no system
adopted to enforce the tax for this district,
been offered to dishonest Taxpayers to
defraud the revenue. Many liquor dealers
have neglected to destroy the stamps on empty
packages, and have returned tho same t., the
rectihers, and they have been reused. large
number of stamps for fermented liquors. re-
moved from packages, have been found in pos
session of dealers. Empty beer kegs, with the
stamps perfect have been found in wagons.
Rectifyers in many cases have not made proper
entries and have reflled packages. Several
wholesale dealers have neglected to have their
books and have rectifed, compounded and sent
out spirits without stamps as required. In
many cases tobacco manufacturers have failed
To m lxnt he IN
cigar manufacturers have not complied with
the law and there is evidence that some are de-
frauding the government. Several lots of cigars
have already been detained. The indications
are that distillers are now operating in accord
ance with the law, but there is evidence that
for the past two years and up to within two
months the government has been defrauded
of considerable amounts of the tax on distilled
| spirits. Examination of frauds by distillers
is now in progress, but not sufficiently COM
plete to report full results. The routine clcr-
ical duties Of the collector Office seem to have
been fairly conducted, and he has number Of
competent and faithful subordinates, but we
believe the loose condition of affairs Is attrl-
butable to a lack of organization and utter
| neglect and disregard of duty by portion OF
the force. We have kept in mind the fact that
while the district is of first Importance in the
country, it il compact and capable of thor
| ough and effective organization, and not diff
fcult to police.
