the ARMY APPROPRIATIONS BILL.

mo 'kiuerS on Appropriation bils'-
No Reduction of the Army.-No with
holding of Supples,-No subyersion OF
the Constitution
Under the above motto, on the lst
Of April, Hon. I. II. Brents, our
Delegate in Congress, delivered an
eloquent and able speech on the floor
of the House of Representatives.
His remarks were not lengthy, but
cogent, comprehensive and incisive.
His denunciation Of the questionable
course of tacking the election law
clauses on the appropriation bill was
simply unanswerable, and the way
that he planted red hot shot between
the eyes OF a Democratic Congress
stamps him at once as a live, ener'
getic and fearless defender of the
people. The selection of subject
and opportunity in this, his maiden
effort in Congress, we consider for
tunate, as it enabled him to display
patriotism and ability for the right.
Our Democratic friends, in their
zeal to carry the "rule or ruin" poll
cy into practice, are about to over
step the bounds of constitutional
legislation; and, should the present
policy of their leaders prevail, it will
defeat and humble their party in the
future. Mr.. Brents very properly
urges that, if the repeal of the eleo-
tion laws is desired by a majority of
both Houses of Congress, and the
necessary legislation can be consti-
tutionally accomplished, why not in
troduce these measures separately so
that they may be acted upon in view
of their merits or dement's alone :?
speaking OIL the absurd proposl-
to still further reduce the army, Mr..
Brents reflects the unanimous senti-
ments of his constituents. With a
domain nearly four million square
miles ip area, with a population of
fifty millions, and With hordes Of
savages to keep overawed-7to say
nothing of the labor riots and other
local disturbances that constantly re-
qdire force of arms to enforce law
and order-we have an army of but
twenty-five thousand men; and it is
announced that even THAT number
will be reduced. Our frontier set.
Elements are almost wholly unpro-
tected, and the lives of honest citi-
zens are daily jeopardized-all be-
cause of the niggardly policy of the
government.

ANOTHER MILESTONE.

With this issue, we start on our
third years management of the Ar
GUS. Two years ago this week we
entered upon the laborious duties OF
an editor, in community where the
people are difficult to please and
where large proportion of them In
sist upon having the paper published
to suit as many different views as
they may please to entertain. We
started with practical ideas of the
business, and a determination to
build up substantial journal-fully
believing that any ordinary result
is within reach when pluck, industry
and perseverance, are brought to bear
upon it. The rise and progress of
the paper up to the present time has
demonstrated that our selection of
location was actually judicious in
some respects. Had success, been
easy, many valuable lessons would
have been deferred and perhaps
learned afterwards through defeat
and humiliation.
Our motto has been PROGRESS, and
vet that careful advancement only
which is fully warranted by increas.
ing patronage. To the public we
say, give us more liberal support
and you shall have more in return.
We have begun and carried on sew.
eral material improvements, and
would have saved more money had
we dealt more sparingly in news (for
paid labor is sxpensive) but we have
given "as much as possible for the
money"
Doubtless few enemies hayesbeen
made by the Independent, fearless
and straightforward, course Of the
ARGUS, but they are benefit rather
than hindrance. Relying on gen.
erous and impartial public sentiment,
we have kept aloof from individual
bias and warpiug influences. 4 We
have perhaps learnedto be less per-
sonal than formerly, to follow more
elevated course and to correct other
faults which formerly existed. Our
policy, by being honestly and con-
scientiously followed out, has attract
ed the sympathy of friends and COM
manded the respect Of foes. The
public of Jefferson and adjoining
cenntieshav our lasting gratitude
for the liberal support which has
made progress possible. Our future
is not merely hopeful, but bright
with promise. Ordinary success
being assured, there is that which
encourages one to renewed exertion
after excellence.
Politically, although sincere Re-
publican, we have net failed to re-
cognize true merit wherever found
among Democrats-hence our sup
porters and cordial co.workers are
to be found among the good and
pure everywhere. Our opposition
has not, thus far, been worthy of the
name; and, beyond the annoyance
of its slandering propensities, has
given US no uneasiness. Dstested
by the better element of the party
it prstends to champion, it is power
less to do us substantial injury.
This week the ARGUS goes to its
readers enlarged triAe-as much
as our facilities will permit-and its
makeup is slightly altered. Some
months ago we abandoned the coop
erative plan because we could there
by improve the paper; today we re-
turn TO il for the same reason, al.
though under far different arrange
ments. We expect BY this plan,
after today's issue, to furnish i'm
portant news that we could not
otherwise give. Help us and see.

The popular impression, strengthened by
some scientific opinions, that consumption
cannot be cured, has no doubt fastened the
death of many invalids, by depriving them Of
the consolation of hope. Persons afflicted with
pectoral disease should be supported by every
assurance of a cure, not alarmed by the
gloomy, foreboding countenances of those
around. For our part, we do not believe that
consumption is incurable, and let physicians
theorize as they will, we have mass of evil
dence to prove that persons having all the
symptoms of consumption, cough, deep,
bloody expectoration, pain and oppression,
sore throat, diarrhea, night sweats, burning
fever. &C., have been permanently cured by

The Stock Exchange never presented such
an admirable condition for profitable and
rapid stock operations. There never before
have been so many fortunes made by quick
fluctuations and skiful manipulations. Care
full and reasonable people only operate through
the combination system of Mcssrs. Lawrence
& Co., which enables those with large or small
means to invest and realize handsome profits,
which are divided pro rata among the share
holders every thirty days. New combinations
are constantly forming. From S25 to $4,000
can be safely invested with splendid opportu-
mites for quick profits. An Illinois grain
dealer made Sl3,2204l in two investments.

Sound and Patriotic.

We are pleased to see that the sound Dem
ocratic sentiment of Maine has found true ex-
preston from the lips of Hon. +. Wilder
Farley. No mans counsel is entitled to SUI
perior weight, or is more worthy to be fol-
lowed. His experience, both in national
and State politics, his devotion to the
democratic party, and his heightened and
patriotic loyalty to principle under all cir
cumstances rendered it eminently fit and
proper that he should speak, and he has done
so with a plainness every one can understand
and with wisdom which cannot be too high
ly commended. No man, however he may
differ from him, will believe that he has been
or can be influenced by any but the most pa
triotic motives, and if the advice of Gov.
Seymour to the democracy of the country
would be regarded as representative and po-
tential so may that of Mr.. Farley to our po-
litical friends in Maine. He does not dis
cuss the merits of the action of the Governor
and Council. but takes the case as now pre-
scented, and points out the pathway to solu-
ton of the difficulties which, if followed will
give every man his rights and compromise
the honor and integrity of none. His recon-
mendation is for every member of the Legis-
lature who holds a certificate of election
against clear and undisputcd plurality of the
voters of his district to rise in his place SO
u,
in his judgement that his opposing candidate
was elected at the polls, decline to take adj
vantage of any technicality, and refuse to
take his seat.
If any additional suggestions were needful
it would, perhaps, be to urge that all con.
stituencies, like Portland for example, which
in fact made choice of representatives not
withstanding defective returns, should be al
lowed representation and be permitted to par
ticipate in the election of Governor and in
organizing the new government. 1t is said
we are aware, that this would be contrary ia
prect dent, and that it is perfectly fair and
just to the republicans to follow their prior
examples. But this reasoning will not stand
the test of candid scrutiny. In the first
place, there has never before been presented
such condition of facts as now exists
Secondly, if republican preccdents were
wrong the higher Law of right and even OF
party expediency demand what Mr.. Farley
appropriately urges, let justice be done
though the heavens fall. The course thus
recommended is in accordance with what has
been suggested in these columns, and in nc
way in conflict with what we have insisted
the Governor and Council were required to
do under the peculiar provisions of the local
law and constitution. The eye of the coun-
try is now directed to Maine as never before,
and it is to be hoped when the first Wednes-
day of January shall arrive, such action will
be taken as will stand the test of sound po-
litical ethics, and confer honor upon party
which, though often defrauded, is too patriotic
to obtain ascendency behind the rampant OF
technicalit:es unsupported by the popular
will.--Bostoa Post.
