Army ChaplninS.

employment Of army chaplans that is very

pay shall be $1,000 "A year These. in addition
to the thirty -four post chaplains nowprovided
for, will, it is thought suffice to administer
to the spiritual needs Of men of all religious
beliefs The military committee Of the House
has agreed upon a bill covering the above
points, which Secretary Proctor warmly
endorses. He thinks it would prove e.

OF chaplains before they arc given
further appointments, and he also says

Editor Davenport of the Reformer in the

ture of democracy in Vermont. He says
that while the republican vote has grown
from wing vote of about $1,000 in 1S4s
TO a republican vote Of upward Of 4S, 900
in our day, the democratic vote is little, if
any, more than it was in 1862. In other
words the Vermont democracy now holds
nothing Of the growth and progress of the
last fifty years, while tho wing and republi-
