Waiting For the latks to Fall. TYtm the If, T. Tribunr. There ia a proverb tbat "when the f-ky alls We shall catch larks." From the anxiety of lua Demooratlo politicians to have a quarrel between General Grant ami the Republican party, we should imagine them to be hope- fully waiting upon the skies. The clouds of evil rumors that darken the Washington uni verse, only preaage the l)einocratio ;storm. General Grant does not truHtthe Urnblioani t He will not talk to their statesmeu I lie spends LU time in diotatiog "conversations" to cor respondents of the World, assailing the lead ing members of the Republican party, and eulogizing MoClellan 1 He floats over Congress as .a ghostly Nemesis, and like tbat fabled daughter of Night, bis mission is to see that the Republican party is not too happy in ita triumphs 1 The General has actually dined with Mr. Seward, and finds it impossible to escape from the fascina tions Of Mr. Evarts I Ergo-TAt. Seward will be the new Premier, and Mr. Itvarts will teach the General law as glibly as he teaches it now to Mr. Johnson I General Cutler means mischief else why his motion to repeal the Civil Tenure-of-OlHce bill f That World "cor respondent" has found a reason. Batler means to impeach Grant t He can "trust" the Senate, and he hopes to see the General 'flop over," and that the new President may more effeotually "flop," Batler will remove all obstaoles from his path I Then Stanton liates the General I If that is doubted here are eertain "orders" devilishly contrived by Btanton to destroy Grant when he was on the eve of capturing Vicksburg. To be sure, Btanton never gave any such orders t That makes no difference. Grant means to have revenge J The sky Is really falling and the Pemoorats will rejoice in a multitude of larks I if Lemooraoy wants anything now it is a good supply of larks. Read the sorrowful announcement that comes from Albany: 'Governor Iloffuian has so maoy applications for the office of notary publio that he cannot even answer their letters. lie cannot appoint one in thirty." Over in Jersey one poor Senator has been found. This is really all 1 To expeot the mighty Democracy to be content with attesting bills of sale and carrying around protested notes is cruel. Yet there seems to fe nothing more left ! All the tuneful larks are flying joyously to the Uepublioan mea dows. Mr. Excisemen Siny the looks wistfully for the lark that "tirra-lfrra chants," but gives no note of Eussia, while the naval office that seemed to come to Mr. Deen "more tunea ble than lark to shepherd's ear" has soared into the misty skies. We read of "merry larks" being "plough men's clocks," but no sound comes to jMr. Perry Fuller, or the new "Minister to Constantinople." We fear it. is their lark "who sings so out of tune, straining harsh disoords and nnpleuing sharps." And when we contemplate the horrible deoision of the Senate to confirm no more of Mr. Johnson's nominations, we have no doubt the expeotant Democrats conolude that the 4 'lark and loathed toad change eyes," and that even as it grows 'more light and light" to the party of free dom, their woes become "more dark and dark." These larks have not only poetry but substantial prose. Their absence takes from Demooracy many a dainty dish. The renowned Charles Elnie Francatelli, who did the cookery for the Uuen, discloses to us maoy toothsome properties in larks. There is the lark d la minute, which with mushrooms and lemon-juice is delicious. Then we have the lark A la chipolotu, not to speak of the lark with fine herbs, and the lark with truffles, after the manner of the Italians. So when these Republican skies fall there will be pro digious singing and eating. But will the skies fall t This is now the harrowing question. Every Democrat but Mr. Stockton, of New Jersey and the small tribe of notaries sent by Mr. Hoffman to patter along Wall street after anxious debtors every larK-ioving Democrat in tne land as&a this question. If Mr. Seymour had been elected, and the larks had been as plenty as crows or mosquitos, there still would have been a famine, for Democratic necessities are great. Seymour was not elected, and now if the skies will only come down ! There must be some way of convincing Grant that his interests lie with the Democracy. To be sure, he was a drunkard and a liar and a traitor and a butcher, and a frightfully inoompetent nobody whose intellect never soared above the stable, but that was when Mr. Seymour seemed about to be Jupiter, King of the Heavens. Grant must feel that the only men he can trust are the men who endeavored to make him in famous, lie will soon be called upon to appoint a "General" of the Army. Could be find a more proper commander than the dis tinguished officer who wrote so many letters to the World to show that he was a mere military butcher? He is expected to select a Cabinet. Could he do better than name the whole Blair family, probably the most lark adoring family in these broad Uuited States or Mr. Reverdy Johnson, who has had so many opportunies of learning how Mr. Franoatelli cooked the lark with trollies, after the manner of the Italians. There is the renowned Pome roy, the Buzzard of the 1-aat, whose meeting with Pendleton, the Young Eagle of the West, at the oelebrated Buzzard's Roost on Fifteenth Street, was so brilliantly commemorated by the Democratic leaders of New York t These are the men whom General Grant should trust. Andrew Johnson believed them, and see how nobly they repaid his confilence. Only let the aklea come down as they did under the Second Jackson, and Grant may expeot to see himself gazetted as Jackson No. HI, with a new Phila elphia Convention called in his honor, and Couoh and Orr making a new entrance, fol lowed by the celebrated wagon-lead of rioh men and Doolittle and Raymond and Randall in tears and no speeches delivered and finally an enthusiastic Democratic Conven tion in Tammany nail remembering to "in dorse" bis polioy, but loritettine to do any. thing more. Could any pro.'peot be more beautiful f General Graut has only to send bis larks winging into the eaves of Tammany Hall, and his administration willbeasucoesi. Think of the hungry millions who would be blessed and "recognized" and filled to reple tion. Wuat Oin lie expect iroru tne radicals f Thus far they have only given him votes Let him trust the Democracy, and they will give him sopport. "Support" is what is wanted, and this they are yearning to bestow. They are willing to "support" the new ad ministration, and all they ask is that the new almistration will "support" tlieui. But, friends, do not be impatient t When th bky really falls, then you may oatoh the iaik4. I'or the present, we fear you must L.ook before and after, And algu lor wbai Is nut." 7 MlKKAurl Case In Congress. r, m (a 0 r ? rfcu Congress have set the seal vyv v iB the case of the eon- w.v fjmtu Missouri district, ly Yoting an allowance of "a year's pay" to Mr. I Swltzler, the lawfully-elected member whom, I in the faoe of two reports of the House Com mittee on Elections, they have refused to admit to his seat. Snch a vote as this is simply a oonfession that thoRe who proposed and passed it know themselves to have perpetrated an outrage npon the person in whose behalf it is made. But the reparation is as rascally as the wrong. By what authority do these men vote away five thousand dollars of the people's money to a person whom they have prouounoed to have no right to it? Mr, Switzler's seat in Congress was not a piece of property for the loss or which by theft he is entitled to a compensa tion from the thieves, which oompensat on the eaid thieves can give him only by stealing it for the purpose from the people at large t A Beat in Congress " tr8t- T,? hU truiit from the person to whom it had been delegated by the people, and give it to a per son to whom it had not been delegated by th.3 people, is an outrage not only upon Mr. Swltzler, but npon the people. And it is but an aggravation of the worst features of the outrage to offer Mr. Switzler, at the expense of the people who have been insulted and in jured throngh him, the salary which he has not been permitted to earn. It really would seem that there is no viola lion of common decency, honesty, and justice so extravagant and so impudent that it may not be perpetrated at Washington without exciting, we will not say the indignation, but the attention even of the public. L'otf to Save (Jul to a Number t Millions of Dollars From the X. Y. Time$. We see no present use, and we can see no prospective use, of a regular army of forty-five thousand men, costing forty-three millions of dollars per annum. The Army Appropriation bill, which was reported to the House ou Thursday, was made the speoial order for Monday next; and in the meantime Congress has been receiving testi mony and obtaining information on the sub ject from army officers and other parties. WT. 1. I. -i 1 1 I J! a . t i ,. it a uupo ti win uo uiBcuaaeu luiiy, lairiy, dis passionately, and intelligeutly. If it be found that the state of the country rf quires the people to support a large and costly military establishment, then ot course the argument 's ended, and we shall accept the situation as cheerfully as possible, not withstanding the bad condition-of the finances and the severe burden of taxation. But if it be found that, without injury to the publio peace or the publio interests, the army can be reduced by fifteen thousand men, or by ten thousand, or by five thousand, or by a single regiment of soldiers, then we urge Congress to make the reduction as soon as possible, and thus save the iuduatry of the country from so many millions of dollars of taxation. When Congress proposed to reduce the army, in the early part of last year, General Grant asked that no steps might be taken at that time in that diiection, and offered to take such steps towards reduction as were authorized by the existing law. Congress acceded to the desire of Grant, who forthwith proceeded to diminish and retrench as far aa was then feasible. Grant did not desire the army to be sud denly and largely cut down at that date for two reasons: Firstly, an important campaign against the Indians was projected for the fall and winter season; and secondly, the South ern States were agitated by the revolutionary utterances of Blair and Hampton, by the de monstrations of the Ku-klux, and by the prospect of a revival of the "Lost Cause" through the election of Seymour. There is an entire change now in both of these particulars. The winter campaign against the Indians has been successfully closed, and General Sheridan himself reports the assurance of a permanent peace. Peace and order prevail in all the Southern Stat63 if we except the local disturbances in Tennes see and Arkansas, which aro controlled by ths civil authorities and militia of these States and in Texas, where a small military force will doubtless be required for some time. So far, therefore, as the arguments against reduction last spring are concerned, they do not now apply, and cannot be urged with any show of reason. We know that under the practical policy now being carried out by General Grant, the army is being reduced by the stoppage of en listments; and we know that, in any event, it will number several thousand fewer men at the close of the year than it now numbers Uut still we agree witn several of tne leading officers of the army in believing that, besides this, there might be a peremptory reduction of ten or fifteen thousand men, which would save some eight or ten millions of dollars to the Treasury and the people. And we know that in the present state of things Congress cannot auora to overlook sucn a retrenchment. Fx-President Johnson. From the X. Y. Timet. It seems to be generally understood that Air. Jonnson Has no thought, on retiring from the Presidency, of subsiding into the inac tivity and insignificance of ex-Presidents Pierce and Fillmore, but that he will rather imitate tne example of John Qiincy Adams, and plunge again into active political strife. lne papers ot iennessee regard it as certain that he will be a candidate for Governor, and probably for the United States Senate on the expiration of Mr. Fowler's term: but it is suggested that he may prefer to run for Con grebe. It seems to be deemed quite certain that he will plunge at once, as a candidate for something, into the thickest of the fight, and his characteristic pugnacity and the ability he has always shown in this direction render it quite certain that any tight in which he is engaged will be a hot one. As a matter of course he will be an ont-and-out Democrat. though he will probably take the liberty of ergratting a few prtmilph s of his own upon the party creed. That part of his late mes sage relating to tne national debt was doubt less Intended quite as much for future politi cal operations as for the action of Congress. Mr. Johnson says very freely to all who talk with him about it, that his views are certain to become popular, ud thtt four years hence there will be no party iu the country in favor okaying the debt in any other way than that which he has euggested. . All Mr. JoLdhou's political positions and prominence were won by hard fighting, not only against the opposite political party, but generally by an equally vigorous and deter mined contest against the leaders of his own. Those leaders we,re the champions and special defenders of slavery, and looked upon him as a representative ot the class of poor and aspiring whites. They felt it to be, therefore, for their interest to keep him nnder politi cally; but he always made fight, and gene rally with Bucoees. He always claimed to ba the special champion of the rights of labor and the special enemy of the aristocratic classes. He had just the qualities for a suo ceetful demagogue, and will probably renew his old contests in his own State, with a good many advantages derived from enlarged power and experience in political affairs. lie clearly Las no intention to stagnate after he oeases to Le President, nor will anything else in his political neighborhood. The Worms In the War Department. grvmtheX. T. World. A clover English" Journalist Borne time ago drew a most formidable piotnre of the om nivorous appetite and the indiscriminate de gtractivenees of the common domestic oat, as illustrated by the devastations which, even in the best regulated households, are habitually and snocesefully charged to tbe aocount of Grimalkin. The cat oonsumes with an equal avidity whole jars of raspberry jam and whole bottles of olives, drinks Burgundy and beer, tears np choice literature for his mirth, and make gifts of oostly laoe and glittering diamonds to the tender object of his most mu sical, most melanoholy passion. What the cat is, both in and out of the cup board, the wortna, we are uouQlent, will one day be fonnd to have been iu the War Depart ment. When that unhappy one yet unborn, the "future historian of the civil war," by the permission of his Majesty's War Minister, or of the Committee for War of their Mighti nesses the Supreme Congress, or of whatever functionary may, in that far-off time to be, contiolthe military archives of the nation, shall enter in to examine the legends of the age of Grant and Llnoolu by the help of documenty evidenoe, he will surely find that the worms of Washiugton have male almost as much havoo with reports, instruction?, general orders, and the rest, as the piscatorial monks of Mount Athos with those ancient and priceless manuscripts of their multitudi nous convents which they discovered to be an excellent kind of bait for turbot. But with a difference. The monks, with all their misogy nism and their orthodoxy, were no bigots in the way of bait. They out up Arian vellum and Athanasian parch ment with equal shears, seeking only the eventual turbot, and thinking nothing of what they might be saving in the way of arguments for heresy or losing from the armory of the true faith. Tne War Depart ment worms, on the contrary, will be found, we venture to say, to have been "trooly-loil" worms. Their intelligence will amaz the naturalists as much as their aotlvity will aggravate the historians of the future. It will appear that their appetite for official re cords was guided and controlled by a strict devotion to the renown of the radical leaders and the fame of the "almost divine Stanton." In fact, this is already, in our own time, be ginning to be suspected of these remarkable "creeping things." The World long ago pointed out the extreme probability that nothing but a "new broom" vigorously used in the department could guaran tee the preservation intact of the national military records. When Pre sident Johnson endeavored to supply some such guarantee, he was instantly assailed by the whole radical faction and foroed to fore go his purpose. And now comes General Banks and pretty clearly intimates that the mischief has been done. In an artiole under stood to have been "inspired" if not written by General Banks, which appeared the other day In the Boston T rurrller, it is hiuted, with a quite Hibernian directness that "Mr. Stan ton took advantage of his position as Secretary of War to destroy important publio docu ments, and especially those which might pre vent his own political preferment." "Mr. Stanton?" Not at all I It is the worms that have done the work; the worms of which Senator Sumner forgot the gluteu and the creed when he was at the' superfluous pains of adjuring them to "stick," as much as Pre sident Jobnson forgot tne instincts and the tastes when he vainly hoped that self-respect and decency would act upon them a3 a ver mifuge. - SPECIAL NOTICES. rT" COLD WEATHER PUSS NOT CHAP a-2-' or roughen the skin ail'jr ntnni?

By 1 s charter, the Company Is permitted to Issse ItscwoFIRKT MORTUA9K BONDS le the same amount as tbe Oovernmont Bonds, AMD NO MOBS' These Bonds are a First Mortgage npon the entire road and all lis equipments. THEY HAVE THIRTY YEARS TO RUN, AT SIX PES CKNT., and both PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST tag PAYABLE IN GOLD. Buch securities are generally valuable In proportion to tbe length of time they bave to run. Tbe longest sis percent, gold Interest bonds ot tbe Untied States (tbe'8;s) will be due In 12 years, and tbey are worth 112. If they had so yea' s to run, tbey would stand at not less than 12$. A perfectly safe First Mortgage Bond like tbeUnlon Pacific should approach this rate. Tbe demand for European Investment Is already considerable, and on the completion of tbe work wUl doubtless carry the prloe to a large premium. SECURITY OF THE DONDS.
