OUR ARMY AND NAVY-The annual re-
ports OF the secretaries of the MAR and navy
departments reveal startling condition of
things IN respect to the personnel of each. In
the army, the proportion OF men to each otfi-
Ger Is rs nine Ia one, and, in the navy. as
three to one. This is coming nearer to ha,.
ing an army and navy all officers and no sol
diers or sailors than it is pleasant for the
citizens to contemplate As regards the navy,
had Roheson been retained in charge. there
would have been less vessels and fever Off
GERS aud seamcn had cruises otf-soundinps
been ordered. The terrible disaster To the
Huron was one OF the calamitous consequences
OF his secretaryship Had he been Obliged
ever to go to sea IN one OF the vessels he had
built or repaired, either he would have made
less money from rascal!y contracts by having
them sea-wcrthy, Or he would have lost thS
number OF his mess ashore. 1t might assure
better work in future if every contractor ap;,
builder, and the secretary OF the navy also.

weather IN every ship they each had any.

FRANCE AND IIEg AEMY.-It is E0w pro-
posed to re-organize the French army, some
what after the Prussian system, III the enlist
mrnt of men and the term OF service-to
reduce 1t from FIVE years, as 1t is, to three
Years. The effect viii be to largely increase
the force and to provide a greater number OF
reserves. 1t will also give the advantage at
the tw" years release t" agricultural manus
featuring, trade and mechanical pursuits.
Bat Bismarck regards the proposition with
much jealousy, and is planning To prevent IT.
He is resolved that France shall not grow in
military strength if he can curb her IN the
attempt

Too BAD-The remOrSelcss manner in
which Governor Wade Hampton Of South
Carolina is pursuing what the Chicago Inter-
OceaD calls the obnoxious republicans, Is
altogether too bad. That paper is sadly ex-
ercisel because in the Palmetto state juries
will insist upon indicting and convicting
obnoxious republicans. 1t really Is too
outrageous but then what can he done? All
these obnoxious republicans are fashioned
upon the moral and social pattern OF which
Messrs. Small and Patterson are such excel
lent examples. They all stole, they all forged,
most of them committed perjury, and, un-
luckily for them, they have been detected,
and now are undergoing the ordeal of trial,
conviction and punishment.

HAYES IN POLTTICAL BANKRUPTCY
Fraudulent President went into political
bankruptcy on the 4th of March last, and
the New York Sun AYERS that he has been
sinking deeper and deeper In the slough ever
since then. The fall elections showed that
his party had deserted him. and the extra
session has shown him to be without credit
or honor in either branch Of congress- The
house declared him to be a usurper at the
time he took Office, and its terrible mdict-
ment still confronts him on the eoficialrecords.
1t is through the suffrrance Of the demo-
cratic members Of the house that he Is al
lowed to hold COMMUNICATION with 1t at all,
and it IS through their votes that the meas
ures, ON account of which the extra session
WAS convened, have been passed. In the
seu23e Ae Is ~ StW Moye peeD3,as 203
he{piess pceaieauaeat, Not only do the re-
pnbiican leaders there, from Conkhns to
Blaine, hold him III contempt, but IN the
whole body of republican senators there Is
not one of respectability ready to stand by
him. When bitterly assailed a few days ago,
not voice was raised IN his behalf, and
even the carpet-bag senators SUNK away
from him when he was denounced by one OF
their own number. His suggestions are dis
regarded, and the nominations about which
he is most anxious remain uneontirmed. He
has tried to induce members Of both houses
to call upon him but even those who do so
! quickly tHrn away. Republican caucuses
have been held for the purpose OF seeirS II
anything could be done about him, but
judging from recent occurrences, these eau
cuses have turned out very adversely to his
interests. This is the fate Of the Fraudulent
President He stands isolated and helpless
without party or purpose. Evarts was
IL Andy Johnson S. cabinet, and Evarts is IN
Hayes Fraudulent cabinet; but, though
Eyarts helped himinto the White House, he
cannot help him now that he is there. The
regular session OF congress has commenced !;
and before it terminates Hayes viii be the
mcst helpless fraud that plays any part IL
the politics OF the country. His bankruptcy
will have brought forth results that he did
not foreSce when he went into it on the 4th
uf March last.

HoSTILE-Latcst accounts from Europe
looks as though the British lien was about
to lock horns with the Russian bear. England
has intimated an intention to intervene III
case Turkey is pressed to far, and the Rus,
sian bear has very emphatically expressed
his rcpugnance for English interference;
England is evidently preparing for war, and
when Old ".ironsidcs" takes a hand IN the
fight Russia will iind her hands fall. Other
people may take sides as they ike, but
whenever II comes To contest between Eng
lish civilization and Russian harbarism, all
our sympathies are with old Brttania

SEPARATE WAR AND SEPARATE PEA

SEPARATE WAR AND SEPARATE PEACE
Russia intends that Turkey, whose armies
she has fought for over half year, shall
make peace with her and not with her enc
mics, nor even with those Of her friends In
whose sincerity she has little faith. This is
purpose so reasonable that it seems almost
ridiculous any one should deem it unjust.
But England's position. is that peace between
Russia and Turkey must not be made by
these powers; that their war must be settled,
not by themselves, but by their neighbors ;
and that, in short any pretence to settle this
great conflict otherwise than By conference
OF the powers is an invasion of the rights of
England.

Misunderstanding to the leading organ OF
the radical party, the radical control OF the
senate is dependent upon the caprice OF an
unprincipled adventurer, meaning fa'ter-
son No worse thing could befall the
party in the senate, says the New York
Times, than to have the responsibility
wiihou. the substance of power, and TO b'
reduced TO making terms with some OF tn,
meanest and despicable of its members.
This is hard.

AVERAGE EXETrlAKs Fair specimens of
the genus Southern radical legislator art pre-
scented in the persons Of congressman sulals
and senator Patterson. One Is sentenced to
the penitentiary, the other on the road for
the same respectable retreat. What pity
it is that the radical party i'll the South
should be utterly destroyed, when it WAS
able to favor Congress with such y liberal
supply of state prison birds, with others who
only need few legal forrnahties to reach the
same honorable distinction.

In times more troublesome than any that
Morton experienced. The democrats know
that there is less tlan a year and a half be-

them a strength that they never had when
