CORllF.SPOXDSNCE ENQUIRER AND BUN.] Wabhinoton, Feb. 11, 1871. The debate on tho Army Appropriation II last week presented some interesting lints. Tho main features of the bill, as ferred to in my last letter, is a reduc- dii of tho force of the army to twenty- re thousand enlisted men. This is ef- cted by confining the number of enlist outs next year to ">,200. The amount vod by tho bill, as reported by the Ap- opriations Committee, is nbout four and ic-hnlf millions. Hore are some figures lawn out iu the courso of the debate, id they are from the Paymaster Geue- l's report: Last year there was paid to fleers for pay proper $4,080,551 ; to en ded men $1,080,124. Thus it cost 1,427 more to pay the rnuk than the file the army, and these figures do not ora- 'nco tho pay for quarters, fuel, forage id other allowances allowed officers, lore aro nbout 2,300 officers in tho army id about 28,000 enlisted men. About rioi) of 2,300 officers are liuo officers, o, as a rule, have plenty of duty with loir commands on tho frontior. The lnuco are stuff officers, who wear fine irnent about the various headquarters, d whoso pay is swollon, by tho allow- ces for such duties, to 'almost double at of the line. Here is an illustration this: Tho pay of Gen. Sherman is $13,500 ; s allowances swell this to $19,300. Ho vus an clegmt house hore, in which he isidos, and which he was presented by is grateful fellow-citizens. This is the one house that was presented to Gen. raut, and which that officer sold, after is olection to the Presidency, for $00,000. eu. Sherman draws, for “commutation : quarters,” about $3,000. A largo nuin- sr of army officers are lodged, luxurious- ’, in their own houses here, like General herman, and draw the regular allowance r quarters. We have iu this city eight rigadiers and sixteen Colonels, who draw ich $2,100 for quarters. Offioers serv- g on tho frontiers are not entitled to rcso extras, the total cost of which to le Treasury during 1873 was $404,015. o fault cun bo found with staff and de- iched officers for drawing these largo llowanceB. They are authorized by law, ,ud o really necessary for officers serv- g in large cities, whore the expenses of ving are throe times greater than at rentier posts. But it is thought that the taff of the army is too largo, and those amiliar with the working details of the ilitary establishment—and the civil war [ave us all lessons in this branch of gov- rmnent—believe that tho proportion of iuo stall* officers to lifteen line officers is ;reater than is required by tho demands f the service, and needlessly expensive ) the national treasury. This is really tho cause of tho light gainst a reduction of the file of the army, 'he only aim of the Appropriation Com- iitteo is to pare down expenses, But the ct of this paring down will, of course, ixtend beyond tho recruiting service, educing tho lile 5,200 will necessarily ave a largo number of officers iu the po tion Othello found himself—their occu- tion will bo gone—and a valid reason ill thus arise for reducing the rank. Tho pouonts of tho bill argued that the army not largo enough to perform the du- ies required of it on the frontiers. Thoso (bjoctions were ably met by Mr. Whool- r, of New York, who was charged with io conduct of tho bill. After showing hut a large number of troops were need- iftsly maintained in the Atlantic and Gulf tales—ail of whom could be readily with- rawn and sent to the frontiers. Mr. Vheeler said : “If these will not buffioe, ;o to the houses of prominent officials in Vushiugtou, and take out from there the mlisted men of tho army who are serving n private servants. Put tho army uni- was the principal menus of carrying the GEORGIA NEWS, section of the bill as reported by tho com mittee. There is now a fair prospect of carrying the bill through tho House with even a larger saving of money than pro posed by the committee. Tho Committee on Ways and Means have appointed a sub-committee to pre pare a bill to make effective the law of 1870 re-distributiug tho national bank currency. It is proposed to take about twenty-five million dollars of circulation from Eastern banks and give it to West ern and Southern States, which now have less than their quota. The present law requires that the rc-distribution shall take place when all of the $"4,000,000 of additional currency authorized by the act shall have been taken up. This pkraso is construed by tho Comptroller of tho Cur rency to moan actually issued instead of applied for. It will bo several weeks be fore tho last of tho $54,000,000 will be issued, but oven thou tho transfer of curroncy cannot bo made, for the law ap pears to have boon framed to facilite delay. Tho Comptroller must first make a requisition, when the banks having tho oxcossivo amount of circulation must sur render it. Then the bauks are allowed one year to comply with tho Comptroller’s requisition. If they fail to comply, a sufficient amount of their bonds must bo sold to redeem tho requisite amount of notes as fast us thoy nro redeemed at tho Treasury. Thus tho South and West might be kept waiting two or three years for their fair share of bank facilities and circulation. Tho bill which the sub-com- mitteo is preparing will remedy this by requiring tho Comptroller to issue tho requisition at once and give tho banks only thirty days iu which to comply with it. It is said that the Banking and Cur roncy Committee has not much confi dence iu tho success of their free bank ing bill. It is bolievod that if this meas ure should pass the East would koop all tho bank curroncy it has now, whilo the South and West would got only so much as they had capital to obtain. This latter bill is now with tho committee of the whole House. Such other financial schemes as may be reported by the Ways and Means Committeo will be considered in connection with it. No one ventures a prediction of tho disposition that will be made of any of these financial schemes. The Senato is working away on tho Bankrupt bill. Thus far the Judiciary Committee have been able to innintain control of the bill. Nearly all the impor tant amendments proposed by tho Com mittee have been warmly contested, and many others have been proposed ; yet the bill has not been materially altered from the shapo in which it was reported to the Senate. The main purposo of the Com mittee’s proposition has been to reduce expenses; to extend tho time for which default may bG made without resulting in involuntary bankruptcy, and in extending tho uumber of creditors and the amount of debts due such creditors required to enable a debtor to bo forced into bank ruptcy. The indications aro that the amendments having these purposes in view will be passed, aud that tho law as u whole will not be repealed. The House, it will bo rememberod, repealod the amendment, law prior to tho Christmas holidays, but since thon the sontlment of that body has undergone material chango, and it is safe to say a bill will bo agreed upon that will maintain tho goneral prin ciples of the present Bankrupt act. Thoso members of Congress who have tho best claims to represent tho farmers’ movement, givo tho following as the main points of legislation which will be urged in the iuterost of the Grangers : 1. The opening of tho mouth of the Mississippi to large vessels in such a man ner as to insure their entranco and egress at all stages of water without difficulty. As to the moans of accomplishment tho grangers aro indifferent, ainl whether the end is obtained by dredging or by means of a new canal, they will bo satisfied, their only desire being to insuro wator transportation for their grain to the ocean, if a largo sum is needed to open the river permanently, they will favor tho drawing of the appropriation usually made for a largo number of up river points, and tho con solidation of tho whole sum, and using it for this work. 2. Legislation to prevent, railroads, west of the Mississippi ltiver, from dis criminating iu their rates of freight agaiust points on tho river, and iu favor of nil railroad points beyond this, making it impossible lor farmers to avail them selves of cheap water transportation. 8. Legislation to prevent similar dis crimination by roads running Erst and West against North and South roads, thiiH preventing furmors, when the Mississippi River is frozeu, from sending their grain southward on railroads till tho open rivor is reached. 4. Legislation on rates for transporta tion of live stock on railroads from West to East. This is the only article they will ask to have rates fixed upon, and the reason for asking this is that it is tho on ly important article of their products that must come by rail to tho East, and tho only legislation involving money to bo asked for is tho opeuiug of the mouth of Republican the Mississippi by withdrawing expendi tures from less important works.

They underbid native labor. Thoy imparted no value to the community ; they wore pagans ; thoy evince no desire to become assimilated to our institutions.

Cincinnati, O., February !).—A special dispatch to tho (iazclte from Riploy says that tho woman’s temperance movement is at fever heat in that town, and that six teen out of twouty-threo saloon-keepers have signed tho pledge and abandoned the businosH. It is taking a profound re ligious turn. Tho men hold daily prayer meetings for nine hours whilo tho women I visit the saloons. The meetings are crowd- I od and deep religious interest is muni- I fested. Ladies visit steamboats nt tho I landing and call upon the bar-keepers not to sell to citizens.
