AS TO THE ARMY.
How the Record OF De.ertious Has Been
Reduced.

The report Of the secretary OF war ex-
hibits several gratifying results attained
during the year by wise and commenda-
bic methods. The percentage Of deser-
tons from the army ian evil for which
both congress and the department have
long been seeking a remedy has been
reduced during the past year "A per cent,
aud for the months OF August and Sep
tembcr. during which time the favorable
effects Of the act OF June l6 were felt. S
per cent, as compared with the
same months Of 1859. The results
attended by a reorganization and con-
solidation Of the divisions having charge OF
the hospital service. and records OF volun-
teer soldiers are very remarkable. This
change was effected in July, 1850, and At
that time there were i0,0si cases awaiting
attention. More than half OF these being
calls from the pension office for informa-
tion necessary to the adjudication OF PEN
sion claims. TN the yDth day of June last
though over three hundred thousand new
calls had come in there was not
a single case that had not
been examined and entered. ]
concur IN the recommendations OF the
secretary that adequate and regular APP
propriations he continued for coast de-
fense. All works and ordinance plans have
been practically agreed upon, and there
can be no good reason for delaying the
execution OF them. While the defense
less state Of our great sea ports furnishes
an urgent reason for wise expedition. the
encouragement that has been extended to
the militia Of the states appropriately
designated the national guard should be
continued and enlarged. These military
organizations constitute In n sense the
army Of the United States, while about
flye-sixths Of tho annual cost of their
maintenance Is betrayed by the states.

About thirty republican representatives

Nearly all the leading republicans were
present. The only conclusions reached
we're that for the present there was no
reason 20 hold a party causus. and the

AMERICAS NAVY.
The President Thinks = Vast Improve
msnt Has Been Made.

The construction and equipment of the
navy has made very satisfactory progress.
Since March 5, 1850. nine new
vessels have been put in COM
mission, and during this winter
four more will he added, the construction
Of tile other vessels authorized being
pushed both in the government and pri-
yate yards with energy, and watched with
the most scrupnlous care. The expert
ments conducted during the year 10 test
the relative resisting power OF armor
sheets have been 81 valuable as 10 attract /
great attention In Europe. The only
part OF the work upon the
new ships that is threatened by
the usual delay is the arpor plating
and every effort is being made to reduce
that To- the minimum. IL is a source OF
congratulation tina, the anticipated inilu-
ence Of these modern vessels in the esprit
de corps Of the officers and seamen has
been fully realized. Confidence and
pride in the ship among the crew are
equivalent To a secondary battery.
Your favorable consideration is di-
rectsd 10 the recommendation OF the sec
retaTy.

OVERCOATS

The weather is against us for
the sale of these goods and the
only way to avoid carrying them
over is to put a price on them
that people cannot resist. We
are selling for $500 a good heavy
warm ulster, an article worth
fully half as much again and for
$1,000 a neat dressy chinchilla
sack coat in blue or brown. For
$500 We offer brown Melton
overcoat, well made and war
ranted to last fully two seasons.
For $500 we have steel gray
cashmere, one of the cheapest

JUDICIAL AFFAIRS.
Punishment Provided for Certain Political
Offenders.


Offenders.
The report Of the attorney general Is,
under the law, submitted directly TO con-
gress, but as the department Of justice Is
one Of the executive departments, some
rcfeence 20 the work done Is appropri-
ate. A vigorous and, in the main, effect
i've effort has been made 10 bring to trial
and punishment all violators Of the law,
but at the same time, care has been taken
that frivolous and technical oifenses
should not he used to swell the Golfers of
officers or hnrass the well-disposed citi-
sen. Especial attention Is called 10 the fact
of the prosecution Of the violators OF the
election laws, and Of ofenses against
United States officers, The number OF
convictions secured, very many OF them
upon pleas OF guilty, will. II Is hoped,
hove a salutory restraining influence.
There have been several cases where
postmasters appointed by me have been
subjected % violence. interference In the
discharge OF their official duties, aud TO
prosecutions and personal violence Of the
most extreme character. Some OF these
cases have been dealt with through
the department OF justice, and In some
cases the postoiIlces have been abolished
or suspended. have directed the post
master general 10 pursue this course in all
cases where other efforts failed 10 secure
for any postmaster not himself In fault,
an opportunity to peacefully exercise the
duties Of his Office. But such action will
not supplant the efforts Of the department
of Justice 10 bring the particular offenders
10 punishment.
The vacation by judicial DEGREES of
fraudulent certificates OF naturalization
upon bills In equity fled by the attorney
general in the circuit court Of the United
States Is new application OF a familiar
equity jurisdiction. Nearly 100 such de-
crees have been taken during the year,

number Of fraudulent certificates Of natu-
raliration have been issued, and in this
connection beg 10 renew my recommen-
dation that the laws be so amended as 10

O....CONCERN....
45East Park St.,
BUTTE, MONTANA,

The liberal patronage bestowed
upon us by ,he public shows us
that they appreciate our efforts
TO establish what has been
hitherto unknown in this city,
viz: A One Price Strictly Cash
Store. We claim, and are willing
to back our claim substantially
that we are selling goods cheaper
than any store in Butte. And
we should, for as we are doing a
strictly cash business we do not
have to make those who do pay
for what they buy, pay for those
who do not. Neither do we have
TO employ collectors and pay
them a percentage of what they
collect, nor bookkeepers at large
salaries. All OF these things
combined show our expenses tc
be smaller percentage than any
ofour competitors in consequence
of which it stands to reason that
we can sell our goods at a smaller
profit than they can.

AS TO SILVER.
The Presidents General Comment on the
New Rill

NtW mn
The act concerning silver bullion and
the issue Of treasury notes thereon APP
proved July II, ls1, has been admins.
tered by the secretary Of the treasury with
an earnest purpose to get into circulation
at the earliest possible dates the full
monthly amount Of treasury notes con-
templated by its provisions and at the
same time Ia give TO the market for silver
bullion such support as the
law contemplates. The recent de-
probation in the price Of silver
has been observed with regret. The rapid
rise in silver which was anticipated and
which followed the passage Of the act,
was influenced in some degree by specu-
lsting, aud the reaction is part OF the re-
suit Of the same cause and part Of the re-
cent monetary disturbances.
Some months OF further trial will be
necessary TO determine the permanent
effect Of the recent lcgislations upon sill
yer values, hut IL is gratifying 10 know
that the increased circulation secured
by the act has exer,ed, and will
continue 10 exert most beueflcIal influ-
ence upon business and upon general
values. While IL has not been thought
best To renew formally the suggestion Of
an international conference looking TO an
agreement touching the full use Of silver
for coinage az a uniform ratio. care has
been taken 10 observe closely any change
in the situation abroad, and no favorable
opportunity will be lost 10 pro-
mote result which IL is
confidently believed would confer
very large benefits upon the commerce OF
the world. The recent monetary disturb
ances in England are not unlikely 10 sug-
gest q re-examination Of opinions upon
this subject. Our very largo supply OF
gold will, II not lost by impulsive legisla.
ton in the supposed interest Of silver.
give us position Of advantage in pro-
noting a permanent and safe interna-
tional agreement for the free use Of silver
as coin metal.
The efforts Of the secretary 10
increase the volume Of money in
circulation by keeping down the
treasury surplus 10 the lowest
practicable limit have been unremittng
and in very high degree successful. The
tables presented by him showing the In
crease Of money in circulation during the
last two decades and especially the table
showing the incresae during the months
he has administered 10 the affairs Of the
department are interesting and instruc-
tive. The increase Of money in circula.
ton during the nineteen months has been

10000 was due TO the recent silver lepis.
laton. That this substantial and needed
aid given To commerce resulted in an
enormous reduction of the public debt
and Of the annual interest charge Is a
matter Of increased satisfaction.

SUI IS.

Our sales on suits during the
last week has been enormous,
many of our lines being entirely
gone while others are broken.
We have, however, telegraphed
our eastern buyer and will have
new fresh goods in the beginning
of the week. In the meantime
the broken lines must go. Our
profits go with them, but we do
not object to that as we must not
carry any odd suits. We have
cut the price of these suits from
20 per cent. to IS per cent. and il
teat does not sell them we will
give up, but we think it will. In
these lines we have not only the
cheaper class OF goods but some
we were selling at $500. $4,000
and s3o.co. These goods are
now cut to $500, $500 and
5000. They are just as good to
you as though we had a dozen OF
them but not to us and we are
perfectly willing to sacrifice our
profits in order to make room for
the new goods to arrive.
