from this army this ponderous staff and moth

The two essential elements of the army dis.
tinctively arc the officers and the enlisted
men. The former, who may be graduates OF
the military academy and those promoted
from the ranks after long and meritorlous ser
vice, alone rise TO the dignity and ability of

this proposition involves n long controversy
which may not be entered into here. 1t can
le demonstrated, however beyond all posi-
bic question. The enlisted men will compare
favofably with those of the army OF any
country on earth. But with this grand army
and this incompatible staff the government
has not been able to catch the Apache Indians
or restrain them In their recent course of muir
der and pillage. Gen. Crook, with all his re.
puted intelligence in relation to Indian affairs,
is regarded as n failure, and the sooner he is
relieved from command in the Indian
country the better 1t will be for the gov

United States at Rome, who was recalled by
cable, paid his respects yesterday to the De-
partment Of State, also to the President, in
the general reception, without especial iden-
tihcation, During the civil war Mr.. Byers
was Union soldier, and was indorsed for
promotion in language of the strongest
character by Gen. Sherman, ,whoknew him as
a soldier, and rescued him from the confcd-
crate prison at Columbia, S. G. For sixteen
years Mr.. Byers was United States consul
in Europe, having been appointed by Presl-
dent Grant, and was promoted for merit one
year ago to the position Of consul general
at Rome. His reports to the Department
bear testimony to his fidelity to the interests
Of the government, and eYince the first
order Of ability, His record as consul gen
eral in the department was simply perfect.
