The | guards everywhere saluted me as I passed them. I wasa “‘great major’ and io high military company. The Army of the Tennessee, com- prising the 156th and 17th Corps, Maj- Gen, Howard commanding, and: the Army of Georgia, comprising the 14th and 20th Corps, Maj. Gen, H. W.

Bherman, were formed as the Army of the Poto- mac on the previous day, east and north of the Capitol, heads of columns resting on Capitol Hill The day was clear, beautiful and cool. The streets of the city were more dusty than the day before ; but this did not affect Pennsylvania Ave- nue, se it had again been thoroughly sprinkled, during the early hours of the morning. The crowds of specta- tors in Washington were Immense ; probably greater tian on the frst day. Guards were again stationed along the curb lines of Penna. Ave, and at the intersections of the streets, to keep the great thoroughfare clear for the great display. At 9a m. the head of the column commenced moving round the Capitol and down Penna, Ave., Gen. Sherman and stafl in the advance, followed by Gen, Howard, late commander of the Army of Tennessee and his staff, fol- lowed by the Army of Tennessee.

On both days over two hundred thousand veteran troops passed through Washiogton in review, Now that the war was over, and the excitement ended, the days dragged slowly along ; the monotony in camp was almost unbearable ; for some unae- countable cause, we were short in ra. tious, aud constantly hungry ever since we left Burkeville, Va, on our homeward march, nearly a month be- fore, aud discontent developed, On the night of May 27th, 1565, there was the Potomac; Sutlers and Hucksters were raided, and eatables of every kind seized ; the boys, so pear bome, were not willing to go hungry any longer iu the closing days of our great Military drums, They had vudured enough and were becoming very resiless, so the muster out was tecessarily being hurried, All night of May 27th the troops were astir, inclined to mischief and sport. A great camp lamination spontaneously developed, which was the grandest the army had ever put up; the camps, in every direction, as far as the eye could reach, were one continuous sea of bright glittering lights ; parades were formed, every man provided with » light ; sham bat ties were fought, and charges repeated. ly made, while rockets and mimie bomb shells went screaming through day evening at the Lutheran Jd.

In the overwhelming Re- publican majority of last week lies a great danger not only to the Federal Government, but to the several States in the reckless expenditures of the pub- licmoney. With little Democratic op- position to criticise apd challenge these expenditures, Congress as well as the State Legislature will be besieged with lobbies having all sorts of schemes for exploiting the public treasuries and despoiling the people in other ways. Phere schemes, of course, will all as sume the guise of benevolence or re- gard for the public welfare In this situation it will require all the courage atiributed to Presiden: twosevelt by his warmest admirers and all the firmness of conscientious Republicans io State Legislatures and governments to resist the threatened raids of log rollers, lobby jobbers, wire President Roosevelt is reported to have said io communiogs with inti mate friends that his hands have been tied and that he will be quite another when unshackled., If this be true he will have ample opportuni himself for the next four years, aud la doiug so he will bave no nullers and place hunters. confidential President Lies LO assert more hearty recognition than from ose who have entertained the most fears of him Phere will be no greater trial to his firmness than by the Re publican majority of the United States Menatle, - .-— AFTER sTATE' fs MONEY, Fhe t N rns » 3 wile fate 3 i Pennsylvania will hirteen Slate Moehools the next =1f Diente ask no ini appropriation from $20,000 to $40,000, decided at ig of un Iestit Lessee schools uss Lhe legislation which they advocate at the next session, I'he friends of the public i have no time to waste if they preserve the original appropriation of $11,000,000 made for public school pur. prowes It will be remembered that from the last two appropriations the sum of §6 mal school purposes be doubled, and if their Fhe public schools should bave the w hole of propriation, aud the direclors and tax payers throughout tha! the appropriation remain al State fund, tial monn sm TORKEWARD FOU HUT. for the knavish ballot law which urer.

Should Foeht be nominated for State Treasurer or any other office of honor and responsibility in the Common wealth there can be no doubt of his election in view of the tremendous power of the Machive. As for any attemp' to amend the ballot iniquity, that is quite tvo much to expect of the next Legislature.

K. Foeht is the hero of the Repub- licans of Pennsylvania, and he will bardly be permitted to languish for his reward. SL AM SSA Quickly enough after the election has the silence imposed upon the heads of the departments during the campaign been broken. The Presi dent's embargo on disclosures relativg to expenditures for war material hav- ing been lifted, the General Board of the navy has come out with a pro. gram for construction of three addi. tional battleships, five scout erusers, six destroyers and two eolliers, These new trappings of war will cost $41,500, 000, which must come out of tariff taxes and interval revenues, which in turn must come out of the pockets of the consumers.

The teachers of that county have taken a commen jable stand by enter- ing into a compact to expose any di- rector or official who makes a demand upon them for money to secure ap pointment, and to resent and make public any effort or attempt to bribe them to recommend text books and other supplies by school book agents and dealers, Buch an agreement, suggests the Milton Record, should be entered into by the teachers f every county and district in the state, not only for their own protection. but for the interest of better schools and school government. It is too often the cas: that teachers are coerced into endorsing books, ete., by a erafty and unscrupulous principal or county or city superintendent, whose favor they feel obliged to main- tain, aud who stands in with the agents or his company, for a money consideration, ——— pe tl Potter township did nobly at the polls, and the local chairmen justly feel very proud. atm—————— — If the election returns could be sent to Quay, he no doubt would be obliged to admit that “there are others.” ssc — —— With Judge Love defeated at the polls, the question among Republicans is, who Is the biggest gun in the party ? a — Governor Pennypacker's Thanks- giving proclamation is a model.
