p 'ople who mo not present, that econtf
my is noi lo lie -r cured merely by re
diii'lii; tho appMjirialion of th" public
money In the.-e bills. Outlays which
are dependent upon the iiniount of mon
ey appropriated may be reduced III this
manner. Where th " expenditure Is en
tirely dependent upon the appropria
tion you may limit mid curb your out
lay by cuttliur down appropriations,
but you will not curtail and curb your
outlay by .lmplv falling to appropriate
money iu cases llku the present, where,
under the law, the outlay will be Incur
red at all events. If you have 11 fly or
hlxty thousand men, rank and llio, In
your military service, and in your ap

Hum that which Is neces-ai v to miiiiiIv

outlay ; but you have practiced a decep

people. While upon tho face of your
bill yor show hut a limited appropria

you know, or you may know, that the
amount actually expended will ureatlv
extent that; that it Is merely a ipics-
lion oi lime; mat wnat is not voted in
.March will lie voted iu Dcceniberor ut
some other date hereafter
.Now, sir, we are to meet our obligation-,
and to meet them In tlio -spirit in
which you, sir, ordinarily meet your
public le-ponslbilllles as a member of
iliK .Senate- meet them I'ranklv: cover
up iiothlngidi-'-ulsenothiii!,'. 1 propo-e
to you u mode of reducing the expen

Commander-in-Chief of tho Army and
to till men concerned with lt, "o'n tho

Wo havouo infoi m.ition Unit upon tho

Hem of outlays lo wliich reference lias

Xow, in-lead of merely talUliigaboiit

villed to reform, let us, by tho adoption
of nn iimendment like tills, mtii re re
form, and. -irtiie it against all accidents.
Itisniy impression that so large a force
as thirty tlioti-and is not neeis-ar.v;.thal
Iu all probability nn army of twenty or
twenty-live tlioti-and men will meet

which .o have any knowledge or ex
pectation, lint, -ir, 1 uni content to
take the limit wliich I have named. 1
would ehaige upon the President, the
Secretary ol War, and the Oeneral of
the Army a duty which they can easily
and conveniently perfoVm.
lint gentlemen may say, "We do not
knou what Hill happen; there may lie
renewed I isurreclionMmiewhcro; u new
Indian w nr or m veral Indian wars may
preak out; and to make un absolute
limit of this sort may bo found incon
venient after awhile." .Mr. President,
this Ci ingress will ho In ses-ion long nf
ter this reform takes effect if tlie amend
ment 'jo adopted. Wo will doubtless
be here until tlie middle of tlio .sum
mer, until the approach of fall. In
fact, we may havo some members a
niong us de-irons', as they were last
year, to sit In permanent sc ion. If
any unexpected emergency .should arise
Congress will havo no dltllculty In auth
orizing nu increase of force. The Inter
val between the pi'e.-cnt long ses-ion
and the next one will be, ut all events,
very slinrt, a few weeks meiely. There 1
can, glut 'leiore, oe no aigiuiieiu uu-eu
upon the possibility of some great and
now unexpected emergency during llio
pre-ent year.
Sir, If you cm by an amendment of
this sort strike oir twenly-llvo or thirty
million dollars from the public outlay,
you will lelolte the hearts of the peo
ple; .oti will do something whkli they
will undeistand; you will call out to
yourselves their respect and their confi
dence ul-o. They will believe you aro
in earnest.

or two upon that point 1 will coucludo

largo reduction of the Army can bo
made. That is their opinion. "That
being so," gentlemen say, "why should
Congri" act'.' Vh should not tills
iiurstion be left to their Judgment'.'"
There is a very le.uly answer In this.
It is un ungracious thing to disinl-s
men wlio an- employed by the (ioveru
nietit, to turn them our ol their places ;
it Is an ungracious and unpleasant duty
to dismiss olllivi-w ho hold our com

At a conference of I'lilon soldiers nnd
sailors held In this city, on Monday,
December 1(1, 187, to consider tho pro
priety of calling n national convention,
le-olutlons were uiinnlmoti-ly adopted
recommending Unit an invitation lie
extended to all loyal persons who have
served in (lie military or naval servlco
of tho United Stales, lo unite iu i-siiiug
a ca ' for u national convention, to b
held In May, 1WIS, for the con-ldera-lion
if national ipie-tlniis, and the nom
inal n of candidates for l're.-ident and
Vic -I'l e-lileut of tho I'liited States.
'I nu disordered slate of public affairs,
the restoration of rebels lo power, the
de-lgning elforts to destroy our national
credit, the failure throtighotil the coun
try to recognle tbejust claims of the
veterans of the war; these, coupled
with u desire to perpetuate the funda
mental principles of our government,
are deemed sulllcienl rea-ons that tho
men who crushed lebelllon should
counsel such incisures ns shall tend to
pri serve and protect tlio civil and poli
tical rights of all the people.
Iti'igadler (ieneral T.T, Crittenden,
Chairman.
William A. Slioil. Secretary.
The purport oftbe-e calls would lead
many to believe that thc-e propo-ed
conventions were to bo held solely in
the interests of the soldiers nnd sailors.
Hut do not ullow yourselves to bo de
ceived by expediency men and design
ing politicians. Ciider the pretext of
serving -oidlers anil sailors they are
laboring to delude you into their ranks,
utter which tlie same fraud, falselioo.l
and ingratitude will bu practiced upon
you that has been so signally evinced in
tlie past.
" The tlhortterul tittle of jmbtlv af
fair," has been brought nbout by this
same party, which has been in power
for years, nnd by a system of usurpation
and uncalled for legislation, stripped
thu executive branch of the government
ofall authority to stay the tide of evil
indicted by them, from timu to time,
upon thu country,
" The rcsioratitm of rein la to jMttrr," a
paltry plea (only practiced by tho par
tyin powcr.nslnlrlye.xhlbilcd.) .should
rail the blii-h of shame to thu cheek of
the manly -oldier us lie beholds a pros
trate and now starving foe, reaily nnd
willing to yield to any terms consist
ent with tlio honor and dignity of u
great Christian peoplo and nation.
" The tlesiyntnu efforts tit destroy our
iiulontd cntlll" will Indeed be a small
Inducement to soldiers when they tiro
aware of the fact that tbe.-e conventions
aro to bo called in tho interests of n
party wliich litis for its objects the. sup
port of a moneyed aristocracy, wliich
exempts from taxation, and gives lo
the rich bondholder thogoldnf thu pub
lie trea-ury at a premium, wbilo it
heavily taxes every laboring man and
soldier, anil exnets that be should bo
paid for Ids services in a depreciated
currency Increa-lng the rich man's
dollar, and making the poor man's less,
"The failure thrtjityhout Ihe country
lo nvoyni:otheju.-t f'ttiinii ot' Ihe titer
am of Ihe tear" has nowhere been so
openly nnd wantonly exhibited a- by
this same party in the United Stales
! Senate, in tlie njeetlon ntul icfu-al to
appoint thousands of our bravo disabled
comrades during tlio past lew year-'
".I tlntlre to pernluttti ttefttiutuiiirii

Aro you In favor of conlluuliig n
lliuiiicial policy which uxempts from

prosporod upon tho misfortunes of the
country, and taxing the laboring ela-i
of people, giving to thu former the coin
of thu Treasury, nnd to tho latter a de
preciated paper currency, thus exempt
ing thu ricli from assisting in thu pay
ment of thu war debt, nml Imposing it
upon tho poorer class 7
Aro you in favor of having your com

Are you iu favor of long continuing

Are you In favor of throwing aside

We warn you, therefore, against Invi

bu extended to you, some coming from
persons and organizations having no
local habitations, urging you to partici
pate lu a national convention of soldiers
anil sailors, for the purpo-o of nomina
ting candidates fur the Presidency and
Vice-Presidency. Politicians, often un
friendly, to soldiers and sailors, who
desire (o make themselves prominent,
nro apt to have such calls clrciiliitud.the

not to lend our Inlliience to any set of

Tnui:i; men once walked through a
railroad car on Its way to New York,
looking about them sharply, us If in
neareli ol'sotiie one. Presently, ono of
them laid his hand on a gentleman who
was half asleep ill ono of the seats, nnd
said, "Will you have a game '."' "No,"

nt being waked up so rudely ; and, be
sides, be was one who never pla.sed
cards; so hu answered In a very strong
way. "Well, you needn't lane n lei
low's head off for asking you," return
ed the first, and pas-cd on with Ids
companions to the next car. They
were In quest of somebody to gamble
with them.
They looked around here, and soon
aw a man who appeared easy unit
good-injtured; and they Invited him.
I don't play very often," he answered;
but it's sort of dull here, nnd I don't
know but 1 will have a game."
"lletter not," said u gentleman at his
Ibow; "they're simrpers." Tint he
heeded not the warning. He went
over and joined the card-playeiv, and
the first and second games be beat.
"You're u pretty 'cute player," -aid
they; and he began to think tlio same,
though he had never been considered so
anywhere el-e.
"Let's put down a dollar just for
fun," prnpo-ed one of the men as they
divided for tlie third game. They
played and the stranger won the dollar,
mid giew quite proud of Ids skill; nml
the next garni he hlin-elf proposed to
put down ten. "While we're playing."
aid he, "we might a- well play tor
something." They agreed; and tbl-
tlme, for the car had nowalmo-t reach

vcry much vexed when he found he
had got to open his pockt-t-book, and
hand out ten dollars to tbe-o strange.
ugly-looking men. When he went
back to his. seat, he was quite crcst-fullon
and, as he sat down, he muttered,
Well, I was u fool; that's all about
it." His friend who had warned him
smiled u quier kind of a smile, ns much
as to say, "Cuttfhl in tt ((;). !-
Tom KIchariUon had In en u hard
drinker, but was reformed, nnd now,
for live years, had not touched a diop
of any thing that could lutnxlcato ; and
hu was very careful, too, not to go Into
the way of temptation. lie would not
trade at a store where whiskey was
.-old; and would on iiouccount go near
a tavern, or associate with tho-e who
were in the habit of drinking.
Ono Christmas Day ho went with his
family to ell tie with a friend; and,
among the many good things that
were spread upon the table, there
appeared a tall, black bottle.
"That looks suspicious," said Tom to
his friend. "I thought you were a tem
perance man."
"So I am," he replied; "every bit of
it. 'fids Is nothing but lagir-beer.
Why, man, It's perfectly harmless;
wouldn't hurt a baby! I u ink," Mild ho
"drink ;" and he poured out u mug
ful, nnd placed It before Tom,
".No no," said Tom; "don't tempt
me. I want none of your new-fangled
stiilf. It's half whiskey, I'll bu bound."
Not a droii lu it, Tom ; Its pure lager
right from Philadelphia. You can
