The reports of the Quartermaster General and Com
missary General of Subsistence, well as those OF
the General of the Army and the department and di-
vision commanders, all concur in showing that the
army has been well and economically subsisted and
clothed while the character of the rank and file has
been materially improved. Great care has been exer-
csed the selection of recruits, and as one of the
gratifying results the number of desertions has
been considerably reduced the total decrease below
the number last year being $685.

Mr.. George W. McCrary, Secretaryof War. has sub
mitted his annual report to the President Under
the head Of THE Army" he says
It appears from the report of the General OF the
Army that according the latest returns, received

Mr. Frederick I,aner the oldest h

Mr.. Frederick Lauer, the Oldest brewer
in the United States, in his address be-
fore the Brewers Congress in this city
last wednesday, brought, out a fact
which may explain the cause of the
rapid decay of the Turkish Empire.
Mr.. Lauer said
"There are examples of nations that
have practised prohibition, but it has
invariably been 10 their great disadvan-
tase. The Mohammedans adhered tC
| total abstinence for period OF twelve
hundred years. They constituted the
principal population of Turkey, on tn,
three continents of Europe, Asia an6
Africa, and the Turks, as a rule, hav,
faithfully adhered TO their prohlbitor,
laws. We find as result that of all tn
the nations on the earth they are tn
most stupid, sluggish, slovenly, and ever
the most filthy. They are as far back il
civilization to-day as they we're whel
they conquered Constantinople, Dearl
five hundred years ago. Being natiol
of water-drinkers, they have become as
i, stagnant morass-an odense to civiliza
tion.o
The Russians,it should be understood
are good solid drinkers, They are wha
might be termed "Potable People.
In a conflict with weak, water-drnkin
nation they naturally proved conqueror
+ The Germans probably whipped IL
Y French tor the same reason. The Ge
mans drink beer and good, solid win,
while the French do very little in u
way OF beer and are given to light wine
i The Britons are nation cf drinkers al
: they Whip everybody that thew can Il
hands on. In our own country we ha
:, seen how the heer-drnking North wal
u ed off with the temperate and lig
IL tippling South. We might go in Il
e way multiplying examples indefinite

The Oregon Election.

WASHINGTON, June THE Post pub
fishes the following tomorrow morning:
"Portland, Oregon, June NEARLY
full and complete returns have been re-
ceived from all parts of the State, and
these justify us in the statement that the
Legislature will be democratic bya ma
jority of at least twelve over both repub-
licans and independents.
"Some of the independents will act
with the democrats and increase this ma
jority. 1t is positively known that the
democratic vote in joint ballot will be a:
high as fifty-one votes. Whittaker's ma
jority (democraticc candidate for Congress
will be between five and six hundred, ant
may run over the large figure"
''This is not disputed by the republicans
We also claim the election of Thayer
democratic candidate for Governor. Th
rest of the State ticket is in doubt, witt
chances favorable to the democrats.

THE PRESIDENTIAL FRAUD EXAMI- |
NATIoN.-The investigating committee
continued their work yesterday. The
revelations disclose facts daily, which
cannot fail to convince the country with
out regard to politics how necessary and
proper the Investigations is and how impro-
per it would have been to have suffered the
mass of corruption that is being unearth-
ed to remain uncovered. The whole
country will feel easier and breathe freer
after the expose is made; and no doubt
all will come to the conclusion that it is
only through the mercy of Providence
that the government was permitted to es-
cape from the hands of such a pack of
villains without the occurrence of some
thing very calanitous. In fact some
very horrible fate as was said was only
averted by the rope that was given the
conspirators. Had they been opposed at
the time, while Grant and the Sherlnans,
controlled the armies at Washington and
i'll the South, it is quite in reason to sup
pose that bloody revolution would have
been resorted to, to cover up the treacher
Gus course and traitorouS blows aimed a
the constitutional methods of investigat
ing the Presidency upon the choice of tin
people through the we'll known legal All,
proper forms.
Revolution was doubtless desired b
Grant and Sherman; and several Senator
were quite as anxious that the difficult
should take such shape, while scores {
inferior army officers looked to this as
stepping stone to promotion.
1t is hoped the committee will prof
the whole affair to the very depths.
may extend the work into variety
matters and may even reach the bribel
cases, in which tire Credit Moblier pc
Pile robbed the government. We ha'
always believed that Grant got fu
share Of all the money made by the ra
cally proceedings under his administr
tions and such affairs ought to be look,
into and exposed. He could not We
have managed the proceedings precedil
the Inauguration Of Hayes witho
the use of heavy contingent fund and
use and application to this matter is clei
ly within the scope of the Investigate
Committee.
That the course of the Democrats
this matter is approved by the people,
sweeping victory of the party in Greg
IS evidence conclusive.

Mr.. HAYES yesterday laid before the
House committee the letter from Mr.. Bull
dozer, of Louisiana, to Mr.. Evarts when
Induced him to endorse Anderson's ap-
p,ication for consulship as a especial
case" The letter says:
..If YOU have any vacant consulship at
any earthquake-shaken point, and cholera,
infected city, any yellow-fever point, Oh
any smallpox ridden community, or any
vacant commissionership to the fiercest o
our Indian tribes, to send him to one o

Evidence that a Louisiana Re-
turn was Forged.

WASHINGTON, June THE Potter
committee made good many long
strides to-day IN the direction of the
promised land of revelations about the
great fraud, and the precise nature of the
developments is so astounding that the
republicans are feeling for the first time
as if the ground was giving away beneath
them. The Louisiana case has been SC
involved from the firstthat only keen ex'
perts had perfect knowledge of all the
details of the eventful infamy, and fol
that reason very few OF those who
heard the entire examination of Levisst
OIL yesterday had any idea of the full le'
Gal value of the testimony to the demo
cratic siae Of the case.

JUNE u. 1878.

THE FRAUD INvEsTI CATION AP-
PRoyED.-The GAZETTE has urged the
investigation into the Presidential frauds |
ever since the meeting of Congress, and
have not asked that the investigators
hide anything that was wrong that was
done by the Democrats. We have faith
in free government; and to keep the gov
ernment free, we must keep it in the
hands of good men.
The Republican papers in this State
have uniformly opposed any investigation
at all, and the Republican, of this city,
has on every occasion attempted to ridi-
cule it; but its articles have always been
weak and trifling, scarce worth alluding
to and only served to remind one OF
boy passing throughthe woods whisting to
keep his courage up.
We have said the people approved the
investigation and cited the victory in the
election in Oregon to prove it. But other
papers will say that is only the false con-
clusion of the GAZETTE, and that the
election in Oregon had no bearing Oh
the case. And as the Republican calls the
Philadelphia Times an Independent papel
we refer our readers to its comments copi
ed as follows:-
"Oregon sends very plain and impress
sive admonition to the political brawler'
who have been yelling about revolution
to escape revelation. That State has
Senator and Congressman who ar
among the foremost to shield Republican
electoral frauds by bowling against in
yestigation as revolutionary; and it ha
taught both sides that fraud isn't in favo
with the people. While it gave Re
publican majority on the general ticket,
elected Democratic Congressman
place of Williams, Republican, and
Legislature that will choose a Democrat
Senator in place of Mitchell, Republican
The people of Oregon, like the masses
every State, don't love fraud, no ma
ter by whom it may be committed. The
didn't relish the Grover-Cronin fraud, ,th
Democratic Governor and State Office
attempted to deprive Hayes of an ele
toral vote, and they elected a Republics
Governor and State ticket. They dol
relish Republican frauds perpetrated
Louisiana and Florida and sustained
their Republican Senator and Represent
tive in Congress, and they have said tn
say about it by electing Democra
Senator, giving the Democrats two UNI
pected gains in the next Congress. Pol
clans and organs have notice from Ores
that the frauds which stain the escutc
ons of Louisiana and Florida will be C
dem ned by the people of all parties vi
ever they can deliver their judgment
the subject"
