LIBERAL LEGIsLATIoS.-Wc notice
that Mr.. Jones, one Of the Senators
IRON Philadelphia, has introduced a
bill in the State Senate which provides
that in convictions of crime or misdc.
meanor, where the minimum amount
OF punishment is within the discretion
of the Court, it may enter of record an
order suspending sentence for an in.
definite time aud may discharge the
prisoner on his going bail to reappear
for sentence when called upon. We
may be little too enthusiastic on this
point, but it seems to us that there
never was more equitable proposition
submitted upon this point OF our Juris-
prudence.

An INCONSISTENT SENATOR. - The
Philadelphia Times, in alluding to one
of the Sages OF the Northwest, remarks
A few years ago Senator Christiancy
delivered speech in the Senate against
the admission of Pincbback that called
a halt in the promotion of carpet.bag
adventurers 10 the Senate, although
Pinchback had been elected by what
was at the time Legislature, recog-
nzed by Governor Kellogg, and with
undisputed quorums in both branches.
That was when Judge Cbristiancy had
como fresh from the bench, where he
had administered law and justice. Now
he has spent four years in Washington,
has breathed the pollution Of partisan
lawlessness, and while holding a com
mission as foreign Minister, he tele-
graphs TO Washington that he will
hasten back to vote for the admission
of Corbin, who never was elected 10
the Senate by any pretended Legisla.
tive body that had quorum of any
sort OF members in attendance. How
must the Judge Christiancy OF 1874
estimate the Senator Christiancy OF
1872"

The defeat is bad one Tor Conkling,

true Conkling will last for six years,

RADICAL HoNEsTY.-The investiga
tions of the Potter Committee is 1evel.
oping some wonderful things. For in.
stance Gen. Brady, Hayes Assistant
Postmaster General, comes out of the
Potter fire with his reputation as badly
smirched as some OF the Louisiana
rogues. He admitted he obtained en-
trance INTO the Senate Committee room,
where the cipher kilograms were stor.
cd, and abstractcd (stole) certain Of
the kilograms in which he had per
sonal interest And it appears he not
only took his own kilograms, but made
copies Of those Of other persons. All
this time the ciphers were supposed to
be in tho custody Of the Senate Com
mittee and the Democratic members
were not allowed access to them until

the business, had the Republican dis.
patches abstracted and destroyed. Can

of the Philadelphia Bulletin, has taken
to lecturing the members Of his politi.
cal family. lie says "lf tho Lcgisla-

they are taking the money out of their

they have been accustomed to choose.
They will simply pay, under the com.

The editor in question should have de-
livered himself something after this
manner last Summer, then he would
have had the cart behind the horse,
and might have done some effctive

THEARMY ROSTER.

The Secretary of War has sent the
IIoase Ce,nmliiNa al Militarr-S+sa...Sl
by request, u statement showing the
actual strength OF the regular army at
u stated period in each year from the
beginning OF the Government TO the
present time, IRON which it appears
that the strength OF the army, both of
ticers and men, from 1889 to 1894, was
about $500. From that time TO 1917
II varied from 1900 to 6,G00, but in
1918 It was increased to l0,90S in con
sequence with tho war with Great
Britain, and IN the next year to 30,
l46. In 1915 ii was 80, ,434. For 1916
II fell to 10000, and in the three years
following to $3.50. From 1920 to 1888
it averaged about $500. For 1889 1t
was increased to nearly 10000, and in
subsequent years TO 1916 varied from
$500 to 1000. In l847 it was in.
creased to 81 ,6s6 falling in the follow
ing years until 1854 TO an average OF
about 10000. For 1854, 1882, and
from that year to 1861 the average
was 10000, from 1862 TO 1864 the usu-
al annual returns of the army were
suspended. For 1865 the strength OF
the army was 22,3lO; in 1886, 56,sl5
in 1868, $1,000; IN 1869, 36,77i; in
1870, 37O75, and from this period to
1877 it varied between 10000 and 80,
900. For 1877 it was $4,000, and in
1878, 25,71s.

Too LATEl-Tho editor of the venan.

appropriate way; "Thc producers are
now busy entering their protest to our
Republican State Legislature against
the threatened tax on petroleum. The
proper time to enter an effective pro.
test was last November, and on the
fifth day thereof, from I a. m. to 7 p.

their backs on the men who had bat.

THE CIPHER DISPATCHES

The inquiry into the matter of the
cipher dispatches has already unravc.
ed the mystery Of their publication.
A great batch Of dispatches, some
thirty thousand in number were de.
livored by the Western Union Com.
pany to the Senate Committee on
Privileges aud Elections. Some one
10 tho confidence OF this committee
abstracted large number OF the tele.
grams SO delivered, aud they were
then, after being copied and given 10
"a city journal iur publication, placed
secretly on General Buffers table A
fow OF the dispatches were carried of
by certain Republican officials who
feared they would be criminated by
them, and have never since been seen.
There seems to be no doubt that the
whole body OF dispatches surrendered
by the telegraph company lay in tho
committee room Tor several weeks, ac.
oessibe ioany one who was on friendly
terms with tho Clerk of the COmmitte.
Senator Morton's brOther.in-aw, and
with the Messenger, II man NAMED
Bullock aud IL Is equally clear that,
in the whole business, the Republicans
had an advantage to which they were
not entitled They could at will pick
ont and make away with the evidence,
it such existed in the telegrams, of an
intrigue for stealing tho Presidency,
while they could manipulate all tcle.
grains from Democratic sources in any
way whatever likely to advance their
partisan Interests 1t will be difficult.
II not impossible, ior the Committee
or its suborlinales to explain away the
disgaceiul features OF this utterly in.
deiensibIc affair
But il will bo even more difficult,
we imagine, for the Administration to
justify it, action in appointing to an
important consulate the person who is
shown To have abstracted the dis.
patches. This man, Bullock, was u
mere messenger to the COMMITTEES, Of
ordinary atlainments and without
social standing, and yet he was made
Consul at Cologne, over the heads Of
applicants infinitely his superiors IN
every particular. Wby2 No possible
reason for so extraordinary an ap-
pointment can be imagined than that
he passed the damaging cipher dis.
I patches from the committee room into
the hands Of persons able when they

but who could not afford TO be charged
with taking them themselves" Aud

REBEL LEADERs."-The particular

STILL BLusDERING.--Tho Radical

Samuel J. Tilden and his friends at

Florida and Louisiana. In attempting
to prove this they establish the fact
that a majority OF the voters in all
these States, cast their ballots for Mr.
Tilden, and the electoral votes were
afterwards cast for Rutherford b
Hayes, of Ohio. Now. the question
arises, how much did Mr.. Hayes'iriendt

WIDOWS TO BE MADE FREE.-An ex.
change remarks "Under the existing

rics, she iorieits her pension. There
are statesmen ut Washington who hold
that this prohibition upon marriage is
contrary TO public policy, and not con

been introduced in the House remov.
ing this obstacle to marriage among
pensioned widows, and giving them M
opportunity TO contract now matiimo
