Duty OF ARMY OFFICERS.
The Policy of the Admipistration Re
gBr.siRg ths Military Service

NEW York, August 1.-THE Army
and Nary Journal, in addition to the
list of army oficerSwho will be ordered
back to their regiments, having been on
detached service more than four years,
sent in these dispatches last night, pub
fishes the following list of officers who
will be exempted from the operation of
the order, having been put in detached
service by the Secretary of War: Col.
Iohn G, Tidball, First Artillery, Artil-
lery School, eleven years, three months;
Lieut.. Col. Robt. n. Scott, Third Artil-
lery, war record, seven years, eight
months; Maj. Richard Loder, Artillery
School, six years; Capt. A. B. Blunt,
military prison, eight years. three
months; Capt. F. V. Greene, Military
Academy, thirteen years, two
months; Capt. Richard H. Pratt,
Tenth Cavalry, Indian School,
ten years, four months. The
same paper adds: The conclusions Of
the Secretary of War as to army admin
istration are further Indie lted by his re-
ply to the friends of au officer who wrote
asking that his assignment to a station
might be changed. This request the
Secretary declined to grant, and in an
swer to one of the letters he had received
announced his determination to enforce
the order, saying: You will pardon me
if say a single word. l find it very
! common in the army when an officer is
relieved for proper reasons, indeed, for
necessary reasons, for him and his friends
to demonstrate, as if he had a peculiar
right to perform a particular duty, and
his friends are very apt to think, because
| he does not like the removal, that some
persona injury is cast upon him or some
/ reflection is made upon his character or
| his services. Quite the contrary. Re
| moVals and appointments, as far as |
| know anything about them, or have any
| thing TO do with them, are made simply
| because The good of the service requires
them, and this is one Of those casss, and
involves no discredit to the officer"
| The Journal also publishes a letter
| from Adjt. Gen. Drum to a Congressman
| (suppress'ng the name) in which the
| Cougressman's request that young lieu
tenant just out of West Point, who had
been assigned to a negro regiment, TO be

LONDON, AUGUST 14-Gen. Booth of
the Salvation Army writes to the papers
that he has project for the formation of
an office of help and inquiry" with
headquarters in London and agencies in
the provinces and 10 the principal cities
throughout the world. Men speaking
different languages and familiar with the
hsuuts of vice and the traffic in girls
will be employed, who will be ready to
assist all girls who desire to reform, aud
who will aid parents and guardians in
tracing missing children. In con-
nection with the Office houses of
refuge will be established in Lon
don and elsewhere, capable of ac-
commodating 1000 persons each, where
girls will be provided for and taught
means of earning livelihood, and be
| restored to respectability. In these
homes the girls will be under restraint.
The establishment of such houses
of refuge will especially meet the
cases of thousands of girls who have
been thrown destitute on the world
through the raising Of the age of consent.
Receiving houses will be established in
Canada and the United States. Mr..

Icy of kzis FACTION.
New YORK, August 12.-Many of the
heavy guns of the county Democracy and
Tammany and Irving Halls have gone ia
| Saratoga to do some wire-pulling prior
| to the meeting of the Democratic State
| Committee, which has been called for
the 18th, and by Saturday, the States
and the other leading hotels at the
springs will be well filed with represent
ative men from all parts of the State.
From the DRIFT Of the conversation
among committeeman and others, it is
believed that the State Committee will
IN ali probability fix the date OF the
meeting of the State Convention at about
September 1st
There is considerable talk to-day about
deal between Tammany and the county
democracy for division of the local
| Offices, but knowing ones declare that
any arrangement made between the two
organizations is impossible as matters
stand at present.
The facts are these, said Tammany
sachem to-day, when the possibility of a
pooling of issues of the two factions was
alluded to: "Tammany, while loyal to
the State ticket, will not be led by the
counties in the local fight. She is not
only stronger than she has been hereto
fore, but she is increasing in strength
aud will dispute any dictation the other
side may Offer in the future. Already lead
ing men Of the counties have come over
TO US, and the break will soon amount to
a scramble to get into the old fold again.
Jimmy . Brien wants to come back and
he will probably be received, although
there are some of the boys who VIII kick
very hard. Charley L"ew will be our
new leader. That seems to be settled,
| and he has no particular affection for
Hubert .. Thompson, which YOU may
put down as meaning good deal.
Who is Tammany's choice for Gov
ernor?' the reporter asked.
Well said the sachem, 1--WE think a
good deal of Hid, for he is fair, square
man, and is disposed to deal justly wi h
our organization. Roswell P. Flower is
also well liked by all the boys. think
the choice will be between these two
men.
How about the stories that are ahoat
that Hubert o. Thompson and Boss Nc
Lau HIN are to join hands AID harmon
| lZe with TammaUy, So as to secure an
anti-administration delegation from New
York and Kings county in the State
Uonvention?
II don't believe there is anything il
them. Boss McLaughlin is all righ

Progress of the CDnfroVer-y on lhe
Civil service Question.

New YORK, August 12-The princi-
pal event to day in the controversy be-
tween the civil service reform and the
anti-civil service reform people in the
Gus ON house was the bringing of formal
cha, ges against Surveyor Beattie, the
leader of the nti-civil service force.
The complaint is made to chairman Ea-
ton by Charles II. Waring, au assistant
gauger. The complaint is designed by
The civil service reform followers to
bring about a test issue. Waring and
three others passed a civil service exam
ination in January and were appointed
TO Office in February by collector Rob
ertsOn On a probationary term of six
months, with the understanding that
they were to be permanently appointed
if they proved satisfactory in their con
duet aud capacity. The term expired on
Monday and all four were notified that
they would be dropped from the service
on charges of incompetency preferred by
the surveyor. Wariug says that he served
uuder Gauger Baker, who was the proper
person to report ON his efficiency, but
that the surveyor called him to his Office
and examined him. Waring says he was
given to understand that the examina-
ton was device to get him out of Office
| but that he answered correctly all but
one question. Surveyor Beattie says he
dropped Waring aud the others because
they were incompe ent. The charges are
preferred with the approval Of one oil
