merl like Sherniatmnd Hayea If
he baa tlm* gone abroad it would
be iustrufttive to see Mr. Hayes,
who hold office by reason of the
viUianies tor which Wells is to
be tried,and Evarts,wlio detended
.. those villiiintes, prej aring and
signing the papers necessary to
bring the culprit back. A mo
ments contemplation of thin possi
bility puts the position ot Mr.
Hayes in a clearer light t. a i any
thing else has done.
.Discussion over the silver hill
is losing interest to Congressmen
and outsiders. There are no
crowds to hear the speakers,
there is little applause from the
galleries, and it seetus certain
that the remonetization bill will
be soon pertccted and voftd on.
Its friends are confident, of’Micces*,
and its opponents expect to defeat
it.
Those who do not know wW
wrath is did not sec Gen. Sher
man when he found out that the
new army bill proposed a reduction
in the force aud in the pay of ofti
cerr, and an increase of pay for
non coininissoned .officers. lie
swore like our afmy at Bull Hun
This reduction • t officers pay i«
proper. It leaves tlie, pay great
er than that in civil employment,
the latter having greatly fallen
off in tlie last ten years The
increase of noii-coiutniMNiatied offi
cars pay will make a difference o
only about’$'*0 O00, and is to b
commended. An intelligent and
educated man may enlist in out
regular army in his youth; and
serve until .age compels the
authorities to refuse his fur
ther services; he may have
military ability, he may 1m? sobei
and honest, and still lie can novel-
rise above the grade of non com
missioned officer, and, under pres
ent laws cann #fc get more than a
score or so of dollars per month.
This fact has kept intelligence out
of the army. It’wo wish for de
cent materiul it is imlispensihle
that promotion from the rauks be
provided for, or that the pay be
raised for those positions to which
merit may aspire. While vVei»t
Point turns out twice as many
officers as we need it is not to be
expected officers will be chosen
from the rauks and the Military
Committee has done the next best
thing. The anger of General
Sherman should not prevail
against what common sense
pluiuly declare to be necessary and
proper
In the Senate yesterday the fact
that nearly every invalid pi nsh n
claim was delayed for over a year
by a lack of employes in one Bu
reau of the War Department,while
the Pension Office proper has force
enough to do its part of the work
promptly, was discussed. It ap
pears that if John Smith applies
to-day for pension, the pension
office would in about a mon»h re
fer the case to the Surgeon Gen
■a*
that such infiruiation is not fur
nished under tvVelve or fifteen
months. The tumble is tlie lack
of clerks in the Surgeon Generals..
His office is now making report*,
in cases sent to him over a year
ago. Fifty additional clerks would
soon “catch up” with the wmk
Tin* only question is Whether new
clerks shall la* ulitlioiij5t-d,nr those
detailed ter the work who aietiow

tance.
We are having a tempest just
now over the subject of a new form
