Utilize THE .dRMY.

The military authorities are loud in their
complaints of the insufficient force at their
command for the task of subduing the In
dian war now in progress i'll Idaho and Ore
gon, and are clamoring for further increase
of the army. How unreasonable are these
complaints and how senseless the demands
for more soldiers is apparent to every one
who takes the trouble to inquire into the
facts.
The present law authorizes the mainten-
ance of an army of $4,000 men. It is noto-
rlous that not single company in the entire
army has full complement of men, and
many OF them are less than half full. The
entire available fighting force of the army
does not exceed 1900 men. The question
may be asked why, if the army is so very in
adequate, an effort is not made to recruit if
up to the full force? There are plenty of
men who would gladly join the ranks if the
opportunity was offered them. But recruit
ng is stopped entirely, and the war depart
ment appears to prefer skeletons of COM
panies rather than the number required by
law, probably to accommodate lot of lazy
officers who would rather lounge about
Washington or show their epaulets in the
streets of cities than perform the active du-
ties for which they are hired and paid.
There are at present but two points where
troops are required-on the Rio Grande and
on the Western front:s.ye yet less than one
tnlrd OF the troops are stationed SO as to be
avaliaple 1or duty at either of these points.

Faribault Republican, July 10: Corn is
making a splendid growth, under the in
fuence of the moist and hot weather. 1t is
now a critical period for wheat, and the
amount of the crop will largely depend upon
the weather for the coming fortnight. The
hot. damp weather that has prevailed for the
past week has been unfavorable, and from
some sections we hear that considerable red
rust is visible upon the blades, though it has
not yet sattacked the stalk. Mr.. Richard
Murphy has shown US some specimens that
show that danger is to be unprecedented. The
recent heavy rains. which have caused the
heavy grain to lodge, will produce bad re-
suits, unless followed by cooler weather AMI
clearing winds. Senator Finseth from Ken
yon, thinks that the western portion of
| Goodhue county will produce but about two
thirds of last years crop, in consequence of
rust Christian Deike, of Wheeling, says
that the wheat is lodged very badly in that
section, and there is great deal of rust
The crop looks better on the light than the
heavy lands.

TIE ISSUE hide Up

The nomination of w. D. Washburn for
issue before the people. Deny it as he may,
every one understands that he received his
nomination to Congress by the use of money.
Ii the people had been left to themselves
they would have retained DR.. Stewart, at
least second term. He has made faithful,
attentive Representative. No one finds fault
with, or unkindly critcises his labors. but
suddenly he is repudiated and disgraced with
the most remarkable degree of unanimity.
The causeless uprising extends from one end
OF the district to the other. Tt knows no
east, no west, no north, no south, but rises
up like a whirlwind and dethrones faithful
public servant. This course is, withal, in
violation of all law and custom in the party
whereby faithful official always secures a
second term as an endorsement, if he de-
sires.
NO one is so verdant as to imagine that
there IS any such popular outburst for Wash
burn. 1t would be impossible to yollntarl1y
secure such an expression for any man living
under such circumstances. Mr. Washburn
desired to go to Congress, and bought the
nomination. That is all. Not always buy
ing delegate outright, but paying some
one for securing them, and, doubtless. in
many instances, paying the delegates direct.
A nomination secured i'll such a manner
IS without binding effect upon political
party. 1t absolves every member of the
party from obligation to support the nomi-
nee. in fact, there is no popular nominee.
1t is simply purchase. The Republicans
OF Minnesota are strong enough to be able
to afford to repudiate purchased nomina-
ton. Public and political morality demand
that it shall be repudiated. If the Republi-
cans concede that such nomination
is binding they sound the death knell
OF their party. 1t will degenerate
into corruption most appalling. 1t will be
public advertisement that here isa congress
sIonal district where the result is determined
by barter and sale. Merit, the popular will
experience, past resources, all go for naught,
and the standard of corruption is boldly and
triumphantly raised.
The defeat of Mr.. Washburn would ulti
mately strengthen the Republican party OF
this State. 1t would stamp the seal of disap
probation upon the man who could present ne
other claim than the cash to make the pur
chase. The next Republican standard bearer
after such defeat, would be man selected
by the party organization, without molesta-
ton.
The friends of DR.. Stewart will not forfei
their party allegiance by sustaining his indie
pendent candidacy. They will simply be re
pudiating corruption, and in reality strength
ening their organization.

1T has finally dawned upon the stupid
mind of Tecumseh Sherman that the army
retains few of its powers, notwithstanding
the posse conitatus clause of the army bill.
He has accordingly defined what constitute
the duties of the military under the consti
tuition and the laws. and it will be seen by a
perusal of his order that the clause in ques-
ton has not lett the army quite as useless a
body OF men as he has repeatedly asserted ii
would be. Even under his construction OF
the bill it will be seen that the army has all
power necessary to maintain the public
peace, and in several respects it's privileges
would yet bear a little curtailment

TILDEN AT LONG BRANCH.

the Dog Days--PresidentiGt Gossip.
! Long Branch (July 81 Special to Cincinnati
Enquirer.
That the story of Governor Tilden having
gone to Europe had no foundation was veri-
fed by me last night. Mr.. Tilden was dis
covered walking close between the hotel and
the ocean, his hands behind his back, and
his promenade frequently interrupted by
stop, and very brown study. He looks
better than ever in the face. and wears a
white hat with mourning Grape, gray trous-
ers and black coat. After looking at me
several times he came forward and shook
hands. There is decided improvement
in his color, form and style: yet he appears
solemn, and some might say unhappy.
talked with several persons who have con
versed with Mr.. Tilden since he came here.
All agree that he is desirious, if not hopeful,
of a denomination next time, and has ceased
to repose any hopes in the Potter investiga-
ton, except as an agitator.
Mr.. Horace White, a fellow-guest at the
hotel, expressed the following views on the
situation: ''Governor Tilden," he said. sis
for the first five minutes of conversation SO
vacant and limp of countenance that he APP
pears to have lost his mind; but you must
listen to him an hour, and he will then be
found a fund of information, well classified
and digested. He has a great self esteem,
and is an idealst in many things-a man, I
think, of certain strong purposes. AS a
President he would have been obstinate with
his party, but certainly a greater success
than Hayes, who is a very cheap produc-
tion.''
Mr.. White seems to think that at present
the two leading Democratic candidates are
Thurman, of Ohio, and Tilden. He thinks
that as Thurman becomes more prominent
Hendricks will glide in the rear of Tilden
and be content with second place. Indiana
will go for the old ticket, Tilden and Hen
bricks. Tilden's danger lies in New York
repudiating him. If Thurman is nominated,
Mr.. White supposes Bayard will be put up
for Vice President. He believes Grant will
be beaten for the Republican nomination,
and that Edmunds, of Vermont. is as likely
as not to be the candidate. locality having
very little to do with it, as Blaine. who lives
further east, nearly got the nomination two
years ago. White thinks Hayes nomina-
tions to office worse than Grants. M

scattered about New England, where they
are as useless as fifth wheel to wagon.
Eight companies of the Second regiment are
stationed in Maryland and Virginia and the
balance in Texas. The Third regiment is in
New York, where it is not needed, and the
Fifth is in the South, where it has no duty
to perform. The cavalry may be said to be
all on duty on the frontier, save company
here and there. OF the infantry the entire
Thirteenth regiment is in the South; SO is
the Eighteenth. The Twenty second and
Twenty-third regiments are in Michigan
and Kansas, where there is no use for them.
The remainder of the regiments are doing
duty in garrisoning forts in Dakota, Mon
tana, Wyoming, Arizona, New Mexico and
Texas. There are only about 1900 troops,
all told, engaged in operations against the
Bannocks and their allies, who number, ac-
cording to the latest and most reliable data,
nearly 5000 warriors.
| 1t would be liberal estimate to allow five
thousand men for garrison duty at Eastern,
Southern, and Western points remote from
the scenes of strife. Computing the
present force of the army at $4,000
men, this would leave 1900 soldiers
who could be placed in the field
and made effective against the Me4icans OF
Indians. And if the army was recruited ur
to its maximum strength there would be q
force of 10000 men ready for active duty
a number sufficiently large for all contingent
cies that may arise either on the Southwest
ern or Western frontiers.
1t would be the part of wisdom if the
military force would stop their grumblns
about the smallness Of the army for little
while, and devote some attention to filling
up its depleted ranks and properl,
disposing the existing force. Let the fou
regiments now in New York, New Englan,
and Michigan be sent forward to fight tn
Bannocks; let their strength be increased b,

New York, July 1.-THE conference Of
Secretary Sherman to-day with representa-
tives of the late syndicate was informal and
according to the best information to be OBJ
tanned related solely to the question of re-
sumption. Mr.. Sherman expressed conf
dence in his ability to resume at once if
necessary, and the bankers were generally of
opinion that there was nothing to prevent
resumption to-day. The secretary said al
though he could not begin to redeem green
backs before January, yet it was in his power
at any time to pay checks and drafts upon
the treasury in specie, and intimated that he
would soon begin to do so. No specific date
was named, but a member of the syndicate
said after the conference that he would not
be surprised to see the treasury paying out
gold on or before the LIST of August.

many of them half dozen. Ex-Gov. War
moth, not to be behind, has evolved one out
of his inner consciousness. He believes
that Sherman wrote a promise to provide
for Anderson, and Mrs. jerks put it in her
pocket, and had fictitious letter forged to
appease Anderson, while she kept the origi-
nal to trade on with Sherman, and probably
has made good trade. Warmoth says both
jerks and Anderson are original scoundrels.
A very ingenious theory. but IN order to
swallow it we must needs believe that Mrs.
