The llote boo^s do not show his name, lie was not seen at the Executive M union by those who alien led the late dinner given by Jfr.

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 einployed on matters of less impor tance.
