Rank of the Adjutant General.

The men of the regular army are con
siderably interested in a bill which is
pending in both houses of congress to
raise the rank Of the adjutant general
of the army from brigadier to major
general. An attempt was made to pass
this bill in the last congress, but it
came SO late that single objection
killed It. Now it is made a part of
bill to authorize Il chaplain for each
regiment of the regular army and also
TO provide for the retirement of Gen
general OF course the most impor-
1ant feature of the bill is raising the
adiutant generals rank. Into this has
been injected the personality of the
present incumbent of the office, Henry
{. Corbn. Corbin has been most
successful adjutant general and has
made the office of more importance
since he has been in it than it ever was
before even during the civil war. In
doing so he has created a number Of
enemies. some of them having high
rank in the regular army. On the 9th
er hand. he has made a number of
warm friends, especially in the senate
and house, who are anxious TO see the
bill go through. General Corbin has
conducted the affairs of the office dur
ing very exciting military period
with a great deal Of ability. He has
been the busiest man In Washington
at times, and yet his office is always
open. There has never been any ditii-
Guilty in seeing him. 1t makes no diff
ference who the man is, whether II
cabinet officer, member of congress or
a private in the army, all get hear
ing in General Corbin's Office, and he is
quick to decide all questions that are
brought before him. This very ETH
cheney has commended the bill which
is now pending, II it ever gets to
vote in either house, it will pass.

This Sabbath day came. From the al
tars of 10000 churches has smoked up
the SAVIOR of sacrifice. Ministers of the
gospel preached in plain English, in broad
Scotch in flowing Italian, in harsh Chloe
taw. Gods people assembled in Hindoo
temple and Moravian church and Quaker
meeting house and sailors bethel and
kings chapel and high lowered cathedral.
They sang, and the song noated off
amid the spice groves or struck the ice
bergs or loatcd off into the western
pines or was drowned in the camor of
the great cities. Lumbermcn sang it and
the factory girls and the children in the
Sabbath class and the trained choirs in
great assemhlagcs. Trappers, with the
same voice with which they shouted yes
terday in the stag hunt, and mariners
with threats that only few days ago
sounded in the hoarse blast Of the sea
hurricane, they sang it. One theme for
the sermons. One burden for the song.
