4 National Militia.

Gen. Benet, Chief of Ordnance, in his annual
report, makes a novel recommendation with
respect to a national militia He recommends
the passage of such laws as will make an eff
fcient national militia of some 100000 men
The proposition in substance is that the militia
of the several States, when they have arrived
at certain degree of efficiency, and have
complied with certain conditions, NAV. &C
cording to the pleasure of the respective
States, be enrolled as a national militia, in
which case they shall be maintained at the OK =
pense of the General Government The degree
of efficiency is to be determined by the reports
of officers to be called Inspectors of Militia.
who shall be appointed partly from the regular
army and partly from civil life Col Benet.
the Chief of Ordnance, recommends
that one-haH shall be selected from
among those who have served in the
Union army and one-half from those who
have served in the rebel army. This is the
first time that proposition of this kind has
ever. proceeded from any bureau officer. To
obviate any objections that might arise on the
ground of State rights, it is proposed that any
State shall be at liberty to withdraw it's militia
from the national enrolment in it's own
pleasure, subject to certain regula-
tons. Among the conditions of ad-
mission to the national enrolment are that the
State shall consent that under certain circum
stances, itsmilitia shall be subject to the order
of the General Government. Col. Benet rec
ommends an appropriation of 81 000, 900 to put
into effect any law that may be enacted upon
this subject.

The old fight between the War an

The old fight between the War and
interior Departments threatens to break out
anew. Gen. Sheridan, in message to Gen.
Sherman about the Ute Indian war, rather
harshly criticised the halt in the pursuit of the
murderous savages, and spoke of Gen.
Merritts command as being tied up"
and sold out" Secretary Schurz there
upon rushes into print and takes Sheridan
to task for his dispatch, and defends the order
ing of Gen Merritt's command back to the
White River Agency, on the ground that it was
the best thing that could be done under the
circumstances. Gen. Sheridan retorts by say
ing that he wishes no controversy with the
Interior Department, but that he still stands
by what he said.

bonds before their maturity
At Cabinet meeting last week the
Ute Indian troubles were discussed. Secretary
Schurz and Gen. Sherman gave all the infor-
nation in the possession Of their departments.
The discussion turned upon what steps should
be taken toward the Indians, and it was decid-
ed that for the present only precautionary
measures should be adopted.
The Commissioner of Indian Affairs
last week received dispatch from Agent Nc
Gillycuddy at Red Cloud Agency, saying
Twenty Sitting Bull Indians just in with a
pass from Maj. Walsh British officer at the
nearest post across the border). Many more
will come when the Missouri freezes.
Do you want them fed?" To
this Commissioner Hayt replied as
follows: @The Secretary desires me to say
that the Sitting Bull Indians returning must be
looked upon virtually as prisoners of war. They
must surrender their arms and ponies. The
idea must not be permitted to spread that they
can simply come back and be fed. Every one
of them, if fec, must be made to earn his ra-
tons by work for the Government. Enforce
this policy strictly, and keep them well
watched"

Study the Face.

A story is told of a great French
satirist, which finely illustrates his
knowledge of human nature. He was
travelling in Germany, in entire igno-
rance of its language and currency.
Having obtained some small change for
some of his French coins, he used to
pay drivers in the following manner !:
Taking a handful of the numismatical
specimens from his pocket he counted
them one by one into the creditors
hands, keeping his eye fixed all the
time on the receivers face. AS soon as
he perceived the least twinkle of smile
he took back the last coin deposited in
the hand, and returned it, with the re-
mainder, tc his pocket. He afterward
found that in pursuing this method he
had not overpaid for anything.

Killing Monkey a Crime in Georgia.

A singular case is to be tried in Gil
mer Superior Court next week. About
q year ago Snowman was exhibiting a
trained monkey in said county. Among
other tricks, the monkey had been
taught to fire a pistol. A Snowman
handed him q pistol and told him to
"shoot the ugliest man in the crowd"
Some mischievous boys had put shot IN
the pistol, and, when the monkey
picked out his man and fired, the shot
took effect and slightly wounded the
ugly man, who whipped out his knife,
cut the monkeys throat, and whipped
the Snowman. The monkey died next
day. The ugly man is indicted, but we
know not whether it is for the murder
of the monkey, malicious mischief, riot,
or assault and battery.-Forest (Ga.(

Another Advance i'm the Price of Paper.
AT a meeting of manufacturers of print and
book paper, held in Cincinnati on the 23d of
October, an advance of one-half cent per
pound was made upon all grades of print and
book papers. This, added to the advance
made on the LIST of October, brings the price of
paper up full tcemty per cent. above the prices
of the past six months. It will not be long
before consumers who have not pre-
pared for this advance by laying in a stock OF
paper will begin to feel the effects of the "rise"
in the paper market The following circular
has just been issued by the manufacturers of
fine paper, cardboard, etc., and speaks for
itself:
"The increased cost in al material used in the
manufacture Of paper makes it necessary for
us to advance the price Of our goods one-haIf
cent per pound from this date, and If stock ad-
vances in price we will feel the necessity of 9.
