ways true and loyal to the constituted author
tiles of the nation" On this vital issue tie
two great political parties of the nation
cross swords at nearly every sts-
sion of Congress since the close of the re-
bellion. With the army a mere skeleton
now, the Democracy attempts to further
decimate Its ranks on every occasion.
Twenty thousand men are called upon to
picket the borders of a great nation, with
thirty-eight States and ten Territories, each
in itself as large as an empire, to preserve
the peace and suppress riot and tumult
when the civil powers fail to do so, among
a population of more than fifty millions,
into which is pouring annually hundreds Of
thousands of the turbulent elements of the
old world; to guard an extended frontier
against the savages and to perform all
other duties required. In the face
of ali these facts it is sheer
madness, tainted with the rottenest sort of
demagogy, to talk OF national danger and
menace from the presence of such an army,
certain as the control of the nation falls
into the hands of the Democratic party, this
dangerous and disgraceful measure of Grip
pling this mere nucleus of an army that we
have, will be pushed to completion. The
Republican party has always opposed this
folly and will continue to oppose it, The
nation will not always be as it is now. AS it
goes on under the stimulus of the wonderful
developments of the present, its future
needs can only be surmised.
New complications, either foreign
or domestic may arise at any time whereby
the entire force of our small army would be
required for immediate and important serv-
ice, requiring, for aught we know, rein
forcement from the militia. The one feature
of large amounts of foreign capital being
permanently invested in the commercial af-
fairs of the country might give rise at any
time to difference OF national magnitude.
And in the future growth of our own State
important interests may clash and produce
local commotion that is beyond the power
of the civil authorities to handle. Such
things have happened and are likely
to occur again. Then it seems
but the part of wisdom to heed the charac-
teristic words of Sherman, and also profit by
the experience of the past, and avoid the
folly outlined in the purposes and practices
of the Democratic party upon this matter.
Let the regular army be kept fully up to the
requirement of the nation, and the system of
well-regulated militia maintained. Under
this head it is gratifying to note the services
of Governor Porter in raising the militia or
ganization of this State out of chaos, and
placing it upon working basis. Under the
administration of the late Democratic Gov
ernor, the State was compelled to ask the
presence of national troops in time of pub
lie tumult. whereas, if the militia had been
in as good trim as it is under the present adj
ministration, the State would have beer,
spared the humiliation of asking for help
when she ought to have been amply able to
help herself.

Anecdote of Ex-senator Conkling.


Mr.. Conkling was equally swift of mind
in replying to those who were rash enough
to question him at political meetings. l re-
member that when he was a young man he
was once interrupted during speech at
Utica by fellow who bawled out: do you
want me to marry black wench?' Conk-
ling pretended not to hear the remark dis
tinctly, and said, with great poiteuess of
manner: ''Will the gentleman who asked
me question have the kindness to come
forward and repeat it?' The Republicans
who were present cried out; Turn him
out, turn him out" "Oh, no; don't turn
him out. I'm sure the gentleman asked
some question which deserves a reply; let
him come forward said Conkling. So they
pushed the fellow forward to the middle of
the hall, where he pulled out his chest and
said defianty: do you want me to marry q
black woman" Conkling looked at the man
all over carefully for about three minutes.
1t was so silent that you could have heard q
pin drop. Then he said, with a drawl: DO
l want you to marry a black woma? No,
can't say that l dol have too much COM
passion for the black woman"

CORPORATIONS, we are informed have no
souls. But it seems that one at least has
some sympathy, and it is said that the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company has ordered that
the 600 men thrown out OF employment by
the destruction of tn e shops at Hackensack
Meadows be retained on the pay roll at full
wages until the structure is rebuilt, They
will also pay TO every man the loss he sus-
tanned by the destruction of his tools. The
example is worthy of imitation. The COM
pany can afford this generosity, and the good
effect will not be lost. The men will not

Decisive Battle. of the War.

John W. Harper. 'ti'',
General George H. Thomas and General
George G. Meade were the noblest soldiers
developed by the war. The one gained the
victory in the East upon which the whole
struggle turned, and the other the victory Ia
the West which was decisive there. Had
would have been in Washington in sixty
hours, in Baltimore in three days. and la
Harrisburg and Philadelphia few days later.
The blockade would then have been raised,
the Confederacy recognized and the Union
divided. Meade saved the Union if any one
man saved it.

Mr.. Blaine Disturbed.

National Republican.
Nothing has fretted Blaine so much !" re-
marked the broker yesterday, "as that little
paragraph about his antics on Wall street
He did not want it known that he dabbled in
stocks, and he made extraordinary haste to
deny that he was ever on the stock board
That was merely neat deceit. There is prac-
tically no difference between the board and
the private Office of the brokers. Blaine or
anybody else could have torn their huir out
by the roots just as we'll in the half secusion
of the brokers' retreats as on the stock board.
