OBITUARY.
Bnraa Js !.
The recent death of Baron Joseph Eotvos, a
celebrated Hungarian literary man, Id announced
in the latest foreign journals. He wrote a num
ber of comedies, tragedies, and other works,
prominent among which were "The Carthu
sian," "The Village Notary,'' and "Hungary in
1514." He also published a number of treatises
on "Reform," "Pauperism In Ireland," "The
Influence of Modern Ideas on Government and
Society," and ktndrel subjects. In the early
days of the struggle for Hungarian Indepen
dence he was a fellow-worker with Kosuth and
was always a consistent and moderate liberal.
He was Minister of Public Instruction both in
1848 and 1867, and the latter year he also was
Minister of Public Worship. He was a frequent
contributor to the newspapers and was an
ardent advocate for a free press. His death was
sincerely mourned both in Buda-Pesth and
Vienna.

THE BRITISH A RAIT.
The Movement Toward Aboltnhlna the Pur
rlinte ("j.imi KapoalllOD ol the Old Abuie.
Mr. Irevelyan, member of Parliament, has
lately occupied a prominent place among the
amateur reformers of the British military ser
vice, and is also foremost among those who
speak "right out." The first ingredient in the
panacea he proposes for the relief of British
preetlge 1b the removal of the Duke of Cam
bridge, commander-in-chief. The necessity of
that step appears to be generally felt in Eng
land. Mr. Trevelyan in a recent speech at
tacked him for his defense of the purchase sys
tem, and gave the following vigorous exposition
of the working of that system:
"In the Prussian army of 600,000 men the officers
were 18,000; but in the Eng.lsh army, the numoer
of which they had heard so olten lately thtt. proba
bly they were sick of It, there wtre only 2ti00
olllcers less. The cause of this was the grots lneill
cleucy of the purchase olllcers. After referring to
the excessive number of olllcers in the English
army as compared witn those in foreign armies,
II r. Trevelyan said that the great cause of expense
was not the sums paid to olllcers serving, but the
sunm that had to be paid to oillcers to compensate
them for the losses they underwent by the purchase
system. The number of ofllcera who
were unable to sell out, and of
those who died and whose widows were conse
quently thrown upon the world, was so great that
lor the two hundred years the system had lasted, a
great system of compensation for losses by purchase
had started up under the name of half-pay, widows'
pensions, payments to generals and honorary colo
nels, and payments for distinguished services. No
less than x:t38,ouo a year was paid In half-pay, aud
the principal use of that was to euable mea to be
promoted who could not ail'ord the purchase, and to
facilitate the system of purchase and compensate
or It.
'ln the Indian army there was no purchase, and
out of 7000 olllcers only 404 were on half-pay ; but out
of our 10,000 olllcers there were In one year 2SG1 ou
half pay. That was to say, those were the men
who were ruined through the purchase system and
bad to be provided for. We patd T3 030 to generals
whether they were employed or not, and we were
obliged to have a great number no less than 234,
though only 42 were actively employed, We paid
XltiS.MiO a year la honorary colonelcies, and the
money was said to be for pensions, but It was really
Jobs. A few got money who ought to have penBioas,
bat the majority got it by favor.
"The truth was, that a sinecure post was not the
w."y to pay a man. What they ought to da was to
lix vhe number of ofllcera at the number that was
wanted, to pay them fully for their services, and
when tu'ej had served a certain time to pay them a
pension u proportion to the time servcl, and to
their income. To widows 155,000 a year was paid,
and in many cases it was a very proper thiug; but
in other cases, ihe ladies were the widows of mea
well oir. For distinguished services 27,000 a year
was paid ; but It vas not all paid, as It should be,
to old and meritorious olllcers, bat to men having
influence Jand connections. 40,000 a year was
paid to army agents we bankers ot the army for
whom there was no necot'slty. They were In grea
favor at the Horse Guards, aud up to quite receutly
it was thought as much as the posltlou of a cabinet
minister was worth to say anj thing against those
agents. They were men who, wjeu called to give
evidence belore commissioners Appointed to ex
amine Into srmy matters, had as if they were
thieves giving evidence against each etner to have
It stipulated that what they said would .not be used
against them. Of the i.'40,"00, 30,000 w.at to one
firm. 1 he system was a dirty one, and It w.'S a bio
and a disgrace to a Liberal Parliament t' have
been ten years under the guidance o.' a
Liberal Government without having done
aw8j with it. After remarking that tho
people should see that the militia was properly
officered by responsible military olllcers, and that
the troops provided should be real troops otllcered
by real officers, Mr. Trevelyan said two principal
points to be insisted on Were abolition of the pur
chase system and of the Horse Guards. Referring
to the recent statement made at Manchester by
Lord Derby, to the.ertect that the Koyal family had
only two or three military poses open to them, and
that It was very doubtful whether those posts would
long remain open to them, Mr. Trevelyan said he
wondered his lordship's remarks had not been taken
notice of in high quarters."
Rev. Dr. Henry surprised some of the at
tendants at a temperance meeting in Litchfield,
Conn., the other evening, by recommending the
temperate use of wine at meals.
A leading Democratic paper in Alabama is
kind enough to admit that "the old Virginia
soldier, General Winfield Scott, although he
tarnished his honor and stained his sword by
drawing It like a renegade against the land of
his birth, still is not without reputation for
former glorious services."
