GEN. SHERMAN, who has been ira
yelling in the Hayes Caravan, recen-
ly made q speech urging the people to
use their influence with members of
Congress to increase the army. 1t
costs now s5O,0O0,000 annually to
keep up the present military establish
ment of 25,000 men, and Gen. Sher-
man is not happy. 1t docs not come
up to his ideas Of grandeur If Con-
gress would discharge the large sur
plus Of drones under pay, they might
add to the rank and file without in
creasing materially the present enor-
nous expenditure. 1t need not re-
quire six officers to command ten men.
After all, our reliance is not depend
ent upon the army to repel invasion,
IL any should occur, which is not 10 be
expected. II is to the people them
selves, to the citizen soldiery, that
we must look for protection. Put Gen.
Sherman with his $4,000 men on the
borders, where they may be useful,
but give Us no more soldiers to con-
centrate at Washington and other pla-
ces to force the edicts of party to Sc
cure the triumph of fraud.

The Congressional Conte at.

There seems TO be singular, not to
say surprising, unanimity of senti-
mcnt in at least two quarters in regard
to the contest from this Congressional
district now pending in Congress.
Notwithstanding the resolution unani-
mously adopted by our county con-
vention, three weeks ago, expressing a
sincere belief in the election Of Ex
Governor Curtin by the honest vote of
the district, and giving n hearty en-
dorsement to his course in contcsting
his right TO the seat, our neighbor of
the Hdtchmdn condemns the contest,
and our Republican friends exactly
agree with him. They are in sweet
and loving harmony with each other.
Indeed, the resolution passed by the
Republican county convention, of last
Tuesday, condemning the contest and
endorsing the right of Mr.. Yocum to
retain the seat, reads as though it
might have been written within the
inner precincts Of the Watchman's cosy
sanctum, so beautifully does it har-
monize with the views expressed by
that journal upon the same subject.
But in defiance of all this exhibition
of impotent disappointment the contest
will still go on. The friends of Ex-
Governor Curtin have an abiding con.
fidcnce in the justice of his cause.
They believe that the evidence in the
case shows conclusively that he re-
ceiycd handsome majority of the
legal votes of the district, and know
that Democratic majority will not
be so far derelict in duty to the party
as to refuse to award him n seat to
which he was fairly and honestly
elected. As an offset to the opinions
expressed in the two quarters above
indicated, we append the following
extracts from recent issues of the
Washington Post, by way of showing
what is thought about the propriety
and justice of this contest at the CAP
ital
when the Republicans controlled
the House they we're accustomed to
turn out almost any Democrat whose
seat was claimed by his competitor re.
gardless Of the facts in the case. The
Democracy have not followed those bad
pIecedents, but have been guided by
the principles Of law and equity in
deciding contested elections. Mcssrs
Yocum and Orth will. in all probability
be eliminated from the present House
for the good and sufficient reason that
they occupy seats to which Mcssrsl
Curtin and McCabe were elected
zone Of the first duties that will de.
volve on the House, when IL meets 10
December, will be to put Andrew q.
Curtin, of Pennsylvania, and James
McCabe Of Indiana, into the seats to
which they were duly elected last year.
and from which they are debarred by
the temporary tenure OF Yocum and
Orth, respectively. The howl which
the Radical press is raising. in antici
patton OF this event, is not calculated
TO alarm the Democratic majority. Both
justice and expedienoy demand that
the Democrats elected to those seats be
installed in them. And we have a
strong conviction that this will be
promptly done"

PRoF. J. WISE, the famous aeronaut,
who made an ascention from st. Louis
on Sunday evening, the 2sth ult., in
company with Mr.. Burr, has not yet
been heard from. They have no doubt
met the fate of Donaldson and his COM
panion who were lost some time ago.
Prof. Wise was an old man, and spent
his life in experiments to successfully
navigate the air. He resided in Lam
caster county, in this State; was well
known to our people, and much res
pected.

We feel inclined of say to our gal
liant and distinguished friend, Gen.
Beaver, in view of the speech he made
the other day in the Republican coun-
ty convention, that he might as well
stick to his old sentiments of good
will towards the South, to the end
that all sections of our common coun-
try may dwell together in peace and
harmony. II is entirely too late in
the day for him to unfurl the banner
Of the bloody shirt. No good will
come of it, for there is not gore enough
on the miserable rag to last until the
State compaign of 1882 comes off
The sooner, therefore, our friend ap.
preciates this fact the better it will
be for his future as a public man, of
which he has a right to entertain
great expections."

THE Republican platforms 50 far as
promulgated this fall, seem to claim
that the States have no rights that the
Nation is bound to respect, and that
state rights is an exploded theory and
the reservations Of the Constitution in
favor of the States mere chimeras of
the old fogies W no made and adopted
it. Well, perhaps the Republicans
will come to their senses after the No
vember elections, and see things in a
different light.

J. BLAKE WALTERS, Esq, Cashier
of the State Treasury, has been ap-
pointed Paymaster of the National
Guard of Pennsylvania, with the
rank Of Colonel. The Patriot says the
gallant Colonel sis ready to march at

the thought that "grim visag'd war
hath smoothed his wrinkled front
and that there il no smell of villain
Gus saltpetre in the land"

some reckless Democrat, without
fear of the wrath to come, was wicked
enough to say the other day, that
whenever a colored man at the south
gets cowhided for being in white
mans chicken-house after dark, he
sends word to the New York Tribune
that he was there as a Republican for
political purposes, and another brutal
outrage is announced. But nobody
hears from the chickens

THE rush and roar of the Grant
boom was last heard in Nebraska.
In all the speeches made in the Re
publican Convention of that State the
other day, Grant was named as the
standard bearer for 1880. Sherman
must speedily work up his solid
south" or he is irretrievably lost.
