The Patrons Of Husbandry aud their
wives, who have been IN secret conclaye
this week, at Washington, allow one
rather surprising fact regarding them
selves to be made public. Many per
sons, probably, suppose the Changers TO
be dying out as an organization. On
the contrary, the organization has lately
increased, according to the annual re-
ports. The attendance on the Nation al
Grange is larger than ever, although t
has ceased 10 be wonder and sensa-

THERE 10 NO ESCAPE from the
position in which the GAZETTE put Mr..
Bradford and his defenders. He either
asserted what is false and slanderous
or his remark rests against the ablest
and purest men of the State of both
parties. Because tho Constitution
was not made by Democratic Con-
vention F.; nor were the laws that Mr..
Bradford's apologists refer 10 framed
by the members Of that party. They
were framed by the ablest and most
learned men of the Wing party when
that party was in power. Their legis-
lative enactments have remained on
the statutes until this day and the
people Of Delaware have never been
willing to trust party in power that
expressed itself ready to change the
laws. In the days Of the Wing party
1t was said by its friends to contain
'an the learning and morality"
Whether this was true or not there is
NO question that the gentlemen the
oAzATTH has named in previous arti-
cles on this subject were held to be
the brightest examplers of a civili-
zation that was the boast Of our peo-
pie. This cannot be truthfully de-
MED. Mr.. Bradford's charge of
''barbarism" against the Democracy
must, therefore, rest against all the
great men that the GAZETTE has
named or it has no existence in fact
at all and dwindles into the insig-
nifcant and fiippant IGpsus lingue, we
have termed it, or becomes a deiber-
ate Misrepresentation.

THE IRISH VoTE IN ENaLAND.-It
is said to be a fact not generally
known that although it is only about
thirty years since the emigration of
lrishmen to England on a large scale
can be said to have begun; yet it is
estimated that the number OF Irishmen
permanently settled in England alone
is now computed at 100000. They
already represent, in other words,
nearly nine per cent. of the population
and they are increasing more rapidly
than any other section OF the people.
They are mainly congregated in
large urban constituencies, where, if
they cannot return candidates of their
own race and religion (and this they
are sometimes able to do), they can
dictate the nominee, or at least turn
the scale between the Liberal and
Conservative applicants. 1t is tue
that the newcomers were alien in race
and religion, but these circumstances
should have been as incapable of
checking the tendency to amalgama-
ton as they have proved in the United
States. 1t is no mere difference of
creed or of nationality which accounts
for the existence of an Irish quarter
in every English town. 1t would be
indeed a poignant chapter which should
record all the insults, injuries, and ig-
NOMINEES perpetrated in obedience to
the proinptings of anti-Irish prejudice
The emigrants from across the Chan
mel have had to go through the work
oflife with the ineifaceable ban upon
them of being Irish. Laborers have
literally had to tight their way into
English workshops, and servant girls
to live down the prohibition that "no
Irish need apply" There is really no
other reason than the deep and bitter
sense Of personal injury, for the COM
plete isolation of the emigrants and
sons of emigrants from the public life
around them in England.

THE STORY OF THE CREDIT MO-

credit only where II is due and censn,e
only where merited. The work in not
designed as a political work in apy
sense" 1t is matter OF history that
members Of Congress were connected

MORE TRooPs AND MORE WASTE
General Sherman is again asking for
an increase of the army. The N. Y.
Sun says all his reports for years back
have insisted upon an increase Of the
army upon all sorts of pretexts.
He is now forced to admit that the |
extension of the railroad system to the |
Pacific, with the civilizing influences
which naturally attend it, has render
ed useless many of the former frontier
posts, which he recommends to be
abandoned and sold, as they are soon
likely to become Commercial towns"
His present plan is to establish what
he calls strategic points, and to main
tain large garrisons for operations
against imaginary foes. There ale
some extraordinary suggestions in this
report. Gen. Sherman says we have
fifty millions of people, and "the idea
of any hostile force landing on our
coast is preposterous. Yet he pro-
poses to fortify and garrison fifteen
ports on the Atlantic and Pacific, mere
ly TO relieve IAN apprehension of dan
gerp'
In other words, he demonstrates that
frontier posts are no longer needed, and
that an invasion by sea is preposterous.
Thus doubly protected, by land and by
water, 1t follows necessarily that the
army ought to be reduced, according to
the showing of its commander. But
Gen. Sherman puts aside the inconsis-
tency Of his position, and wants more
soldiers to swell his grandeur and TO
give ostensible employment to the null
tltude OF officers without occupation.
There are now 26,5l0 enlisted men in
the line and staff and 2,544 officers to
command them, or one officer for ten
men when the ranks are full. This sim
pie fact tells the story OF top-heay v
military machine, upon which millions
are expended every year to keep it in
motion, without particle OF benefit to
the taxpayers.
The cost of the army, according to the
last Treasury report, for the eleven
years beginning with the first OF Grant
ism, aggregated the enormous sum of
four hundred and eighty-five millions in
round numbers, or nearly fourth pa t
of the existing public debt. Think Of
the immense good this money coulI
have effected, practically and wisely ap-
piled! Every dollar of it has been was,
ed in time of profound peace, and some
Of it was used to hold States in subje,-
ton to carpet-bag thieves, to make Se;.-
