General Sherman in biß report opposes
any further reduction in the army, and
does not want it to be further diminished.
The unsettled condition ot many parts of
our country require the present standing
army, especially in the far West. The In
dians will have to be kept down; our lines
of railway protected, ana some parts of the
South have yet to be watched. He refers
to the labors and the increased expenses of
the officers, and hopes that their compensa
tion will soon become more satisfactory.—
Ho speaks of tho absurdity of the staff
making their reports to the Secretary of
War. Ho advocates an increase of pay for
the private soldier, and hopcH that the new
fortifications at Portland, Boston, New
York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, New Or
leans and San Francisco, will be soon com
floted, and in conclusion urges that Seal
Bland, Alaska, St. Paul and St. George be
sold to the highest bidders, which would go
far towards indemnifying the Government
for tho otherwise poor and costly country.

From the Annual Report transmitted to
Congress by the Hon. J. A. J. Creswell,
Postmaster General, we take the following
extracts, which embrace all the points of
general interest:
The ordinary revenues of the Postal De

San Francisco and Sandwich Islands.
The total number of postage stamps,
stamped envelopes, and newspaper wrap

of $15,078,001.H0. The amount expended for

catchers, recently introduced into the ser

from and on railway trains at full speed,
was $l,OOO. This amount does not appear
in the table last mentioned, but is included
in the item of mail bags.
Since tho completion of the railroad lino

The Postmaster-General mentions the
fact that no American vessels are engaged
in tho foreign mail service, and makes ike
following remarks:
If it bo possible, I should greatly prefer
such legislation by Congress as would so far
revive and encourage our own sbip-build*
ing interests as to enable American build
ers and mechanics to enter into active com
petition in the construction and equipment
of steam vessels with the builders and me
chanics of other countries. If, however, it
should be decided that this cannot bo done,
then I would rospeclfully suggest the pro
priety of so moditying our navigation laws
as to authorize the issuing ol American reg
isters to such foreign built steamers ns may
bo purchased and employed by citizens of
the United States under contracts with this
department in the transportation of our for
eign mails."
Should either of tbeso recommendations
be adopted, and authority given to the Post •
master-Goueral to contract lor tho convey
ance of muils by sen for a term of ten or
fifteen years, at u compousation not to ex
ceed the < ocean postages, it is believed that,
lines of first-class Americansteamers would
be speedily established for the conveyance
of our mails and freights across tho Atlantic
and that thereby great benefits would inure
to the commercial and other interests of the
United States.

The Postm aster-General recommends
the entire abolition of the franking system,
and says: - _ ,
The objection that Congress may desire
to print and disseminate public documents
should not avail against the appeal of the
department for deliverance from the frauds
that are fast overwhelming it. If the priv
ilege be abolished official publications may
stifi be forwarded in the mails. It is only
asked that they like all private matter may
be chargeable with postage. If it be urged
that this would preyent or impede the diffu
sion of theknowledgeofpublie affairs among
the people, then it may be said in reply that
if it be tbe purpose of Congress to give infor
mation to the people, a far more telling ex
pedient may be restored to. An unburden
ed press, managed and directed by private
enterprse, can ao more than Congress to en
lighten tbe masses. Better far that the
frankiDg privilege should be abolished,
and that all newspapers sent to regular and
bona fide subscribers from a known offiice
or publication should be carried free, with
out regard to weight, throughout the Uni
ted States, as now throughout the county
wherein printed and published. The re
ceipts of the department the last year from
“newspapers and pamphlets” amounted to
$77,782. This portion of its receipts the de
parment can forego, provided it can be
protected againct the frauds,more than three
times in amount, inseparable from the
franking privilege.
He concludes by recommending a change
in the laws providing for the punishment
of offenders against the postal laws, and by
recommending a reorganization of tbe De
partment.

Report of tbe Secretary ol the savy,
Washington, Dec. 6.—The report of the
Secretary ol the Navy details at length the
employment of vessels in active service, ns
follows: North Atlantic sqaudron, 12 ves
sels, 76 gunß; South Atlantic squadron, 4
vessels, 43 guns; Pacific fleet, 14 vessels,
129 guns, including the frigate Gnerriere,
now refitting at New York; European
squadron, 6 vessels, 106 guns; Asiatic
squadron. 10 vessels, 72 guDs.
The commander of, tbe North Atlantic
squadron has been directed, while preserv
ing strict neutrality between contending
powers in Cuba, to permit no injustice to
citizens of tbe United States, to prevent in
terference with our commerce, and at once
to repel and punish any disrespect or vio
lation of our flag. The othersquadrons ull
need reinforcements, and the action of
Congress is invoked for means, largely
adding to their efficiency. The service needtf,
says the Secretary, and the positon of our
country require a greater increase in the
etTective force of the Navy, not so much in
number of Bhips that constitute it but in
number und character of those employed,
lie recognizes the necessity for close econ
omy in the expenditure under the recent
circumstances of the country, but naval
expenses make but a small part of the
naval appropriation, and tbe wealth of
the country will not bo increased by neg
lecting the means of national safety and
honor, nor more money saved by refusing
adequate protection to commercial enter
prise. Tbe Secretary earnestly urges the
propriety of commencing at once the build
ing of sea going iron clads suitable to cruise
on foreign stations, and able to protect
our commerce, and vindicate our prin
ciples in any emergency. This will ulti
mately require no less than ten, and
without attempting to build them all at
once, we should commence immediately
on four—one for the Asiatic, one for tbe
Pacific and two for the European squad
ron ; recommends that plans tor the boil
erß and engines of these vessels be sub
mitted by persons outside of the navy, the
best of which may be adopted. These, with
some additions to our wooden vessels, and
the proper employment of such effective
ships as we now have, and with our moni
tors and torpedoes for harbor defence, will
give us tho nucleus of a navy sufficient to
command respect abroad; to afford time in
case of sudden war to organize nud apply
the sources of our country and the resources
of our people. The Secretary also urges
that monitors be provided with additional
armor and late improvements iu’ordnance
for harbor defence; that means be given for
the perfection of the system of sub-marine
torpedoes; that a large number of costly
vessels and a large amount of expensive
machinery on hand and unadapted to naval
service be sold; that inducements should be
held out to our merchants and ship builders
to build ocean steamers on plans to be
approved by the Navy Department, sub
ject, In case of necessity, to be taken
by the Government at au appraised
value. The improvement of navy yards
and buildiDg of more dry docks, are ro
commended as those of the Pensacola
yards. A great increase in the caso of Mare
Island yard, immediately ; tho commence
ment of works at League Island, in the
Delaware river, and New London ; the in
crease in the size of the Gosport yard; tbe
establlshmentof another yard on theSoulh
ern Atlantic coast; the passage of strin
gent laws for tho protection of timber lands,
und theadoptionofmeusures foran increase
©f tho Navy, including the training of boys
and the education of men for warrant and
petty offices, nud the registration of all sea
men in the United States. The estimates
for the next year are made on a basis ol
twelye thousand men, an increnso of four
thousand, which, it la hoped, will be ap
proved. The actual expenditures for the
year ending December Ist, were $20,081,285.
The estimates for the fiscal year ending
Juno 30th, 1871, are $28,205,671.

The York Gazette states that Gabriel
Bare,of West Manchester township, about 0
miles from York, met with an accident on
the morning of the 2d iust., which termi
nated in his death the same evening. Mr.
Bare was sawing wood with a circular saw,
driven by horse power, when a screw is
supposed to have become loose, causing
the saw to separate into a half-dozen
pieces, one of which struck him in the
mouth, passing upwards betweeu the
right eye and nose, severing the cranium
aud passing out about midway betweeu
the top of the head and neck. After the
accident Mr. Bure went to his house with
out assistance, and died as above stated.—■
The head of the unfortunate man may be
said to have been literally cut in two, yet
strange to say, he, alter meeting with this
frightful accident, walked alone and unas
sisted, from the barn to the house, a dis«*
tance of about fifty yards. The dreadful
accident occurred about half past seven
on the morning of the day mentioned,
and about four o’clock in the alternoon
of the same day, the sufferer, unassisted
raised himself up in bed, while at the samo
lime, a large portion ofthe brain had oozed
out, and the rest was plainly visible through
the frightful gash. He also spoke intelli
gibly, Drs. Kerr, W 7 eist and Ed. Weiser,
student, were called in. They brought the
sides ot the head together, and did all in
their power to relieve the sufferer, not
doubting, however, from the first, but that
the case was a hopeless one ; yet the unfor
tunate man lingered until about nine
o’clock that night. The deceased was a sin
gle man, übout thirty five years of age.

the Superior Court in Lawreuce, Kansas,
on Tuesday, 23d ult. Lowell pleaded guilty,
and the others, who were on bail, not guilty.
By consent of counsel, thejury, by direction
ofthe Court, brought in a pro forma verdict
ofguilty, the facts in the case, all that thejury
could try, being admitted. The case will be
taken to the Supreme Court on points of

It may be remembered that Godsoe and
Lowell, who resided in Amesbury, deliber
ately exchanged wives with the entire as
sent of Mrs. Godsoe and Mrs. Lowell, and
Mr. Godsoe was married to Mrs. Lowell at
Portsmouth, aud Mr. Lowell and Mrs.
Godsoe were united as man and wife at the
same time. The two couples lived together
under the new deal for some time before
aoy one interfered with them, and as far as
can be ascertained, satisfactorily and pleas
antly ; but people in this part of the coun
try are somewhat prejudiced against these
little arrangements, and somehow the case
got before the Grand Jury. The parties are

rently between twenty-five and thirty, and
the wives are neat looking and far from bad
looking. They did not appear to thiuk that
any harm had been done

THE (ECCBESICAI COtSOL
personnel of tbe Great Ecclesiastical
iisomblj-Skftcb off tile Hierareli y or
tbe Roman Catholic Cliorcli—Questions
to be Considered.
Tbe General Council of the Catholic ,
Church commenced its session on Wednes- j
day—the Feast of the Immaculate Concep
tion. No similar convocation of the higher
prelates and fathers of the Church has taken
place since the Council of Trent, three hun
dred years ago, and it is therefore an event
of the greatest importance, not only to
Roman Catholics, but to tbe inhabitants of
the whole world,.
Tbe Catholic hierarchy has often enlisted
tbe admiration of many who were strangers
or even opponents to the Catholic creed. It
is the only monarchy among the great re
ligious organizations of tbe world. Neither
tbe Greek Church, nor a single one of the
Protestant bodies, nor Judaism, nor Mo
hamedaniBm, nor any other non-Christian
form of belief has a monarchial head. The
present Pope, Pius IX., was born on May
13, 1792. and is therefore now in his 78th
year. In the lißt of bishops of Rome, as 1b
given in the official PaDal Almanac, he is
accounted the 25th. Like all of his prede
cessors daring the last 300 years, he is an
Italian by birth; the last non-Italian Pope
having been Adrian 11., who was a Hol
lander, and died in 1523. Of all the bishops
of Rome only 49 were non-Italians, and of
these 13 were Frenchmen, 7 Germans, and 2
Spaniards. The Pontificate of Pius IX. is
one of tbe longest on record. Having been
elected on the 16th of Juue, 1846, he has
occupied tbe Papal chair for 23 years and
six months. It is a well-known legend—
the correctness of which, however, even
most of the Catholio Church historians are
not willing to defend—that St. Peter was
Bishop of the Roman congregation for full
25 years, and with this legend a common
expectation has connected itself, that no
following Pope will occupy the apostolical
chair an equa? length of time, until the last
Pope, under whose pontificate this world
will come to an end. Certain it is that no
Pope, so far as documentary history has
been traced, has ruled for 25 years. Only
two have exceeded the length of the pontifi
cate of the present Pope, namely: Pius
VI., who died in 1779, after a pontificate of
24 years and 8 months, and in the earlier
history of tho Church, Silvester 1., whoso
pontificate extended to 2S years and 10
months. The pontificate of Pius IX. has
been agitated by great storms which more
than once have threatened to sweep away
the whole of the Temporal Power. At the
same time, however, the borders of the
Church have been areally enlarged, and its
organizations in many 'countries consoli
dated. No fewer than 116 new dioceses, or
about one-seventh of the total number of
Catholic dioceses, have been established by
the present Pope.
The Pope is assisted in tho government
of the Church by the College of Cardinals,
which consists of seventy members when
full, but there are several vacant bats at
present, which will probably be filled this
winter. The best knowm members of the
Holy Collego, are Lucien Bonaparte, a
cousin of the French Emperor; Prince
Schwarzenberg, Archbishop of Prague;
Prince Hohenlohe, a brother of the Prime
1 Minister of Bavaria; Count Reisacb, who
iis now ono of the six Cardinal Bishops. Of
! the other Cardinals, Archbishop Bonald of
j Lyons, Archbishop Rauscher, ofVienna,
! ami Archbishop Cullen, of Dublin, have
' occupied a prominent position in the recent
history of the Church, and are widely
known.
There aro twelve principal Archbishops,
who are called Patriarchs. These rule over
the branches of the Church in whole nations
and groups of nations. Under these there
are 139 archbishoprics and 723 bishoprics,
and a large number of dioceses inpartibus,
or without beads, making altogether 981
dioceses in tho Catholic hierarchy.
In the United States we have seven arch
bishoprics, held by tbe following prelates :
Most Rev. Martin John Spalding, Arch
bishop of Baltimore; consecrated Sept. 10,
1818 ; formerly Bishop of Louisville; trans
ferred to Baltimore May 6, 1864.
Most Rev. John B. Purcell, Archbishop
of Cincinnati; consecrated Oct. 13, 1533.
Most Rev. John M. Odin, Archbishop of
New Orleans; consecrated March 6, 1842 ;
transferred to New Orleans in 1861.
Moat Rev. John McCloskey, Archbishop
of New York ; consecrated March 10,1844 ;
transferred to New York, May 6, 1864.
Mo>t Rev. Fruncia N. Blauchet, Arch
bishop of Oregon; consecrated July 25,
IMi.
Most Rev. Peter B. Kenrick, Archbishop
of St. Louis ; consecrated Nov. 30, 18-41.
Most Rev. Joseph S. Alemany, Arch
bishop of San Francisco; consecrated Juno
10, In')0 ; transferred to San Francisco, July
llli, 18. >3.
I Under theso there are forty-six suffragan
j bishoprics, one of which is oyer Philadel
phia, und the Right Rev. James Frederick
Wood is the Bishop. This gentleman and
Bishop Bailey, of Newark, N. J., are con
verts from the Protestant faith.
Besides Cardinals, Putriurcbs, Arch
bishops, and Bishops, also the Generals of
Monastic Orders and the mitred Abbotts
: have a right of admission to the Council.
According to a recent statement made by
tho Pontifical Chamberlain, there are -9
Abbotts aDd 32 Generals of Orders. Hurdly
any of them has a literary name; hurdly
any, we believe (except, perhaps, Father
Becks, the General of the Jesuits), will be
better known, even in Europe, than Father
Hecker, the Superior of the American
Paulists. But, though well known, these
Generals represent a considerable army.
Religious orders of both men and women
are ugain making rapid prognss. In the
United States, in England, in all the States
ofGermany(especiallyiu Prussiajin France
the number of inonnstries is increasing
with great celerity. The Francisians again
claim ">O,OOO memjigrs, the Dominicans,
4,000; the Jesuits, 8,200; the Carmelites,
4,000; tho Trappistp, 4,000 ; the Lazarists,
2,000 ; the Parists, 2,000 ; the Redemptorists,
2,000 ; the female orders together, 190,000.
This council is called tho First Council of
the Vatician, and will pass into history as
the twenty first (Ecumenical Council of tho

Marring:© of H. rani Goraml ami Marie
Wormley.
The marriage of M. Paul Geraud, a
broiher-in-law of the Portuguese minister,
and Marie B. Wormley, colored, took place
at the parsonage of St. Matthew’s Church,
in Washington, on Tuesday night. The
Washington Republican giyes the paiticu
lars of the notable affair, a* follows :
It had been rumored for some days that
the wedding was to take place, but the ex
act time lixed upon was kept a profound
secret until yesterday morning, when it
was hurriedly annouueed for last night at
half past eight o’clock. Long before that
hour little squads of colored women and
boys commenced to assemble around the
front of the parsonage, and quite a number
who had been specially invited obtained
admission.
At tho hour nurned several carriages
drove up to tho front stoop, and soon the
bridal party entered the room; the bride
and her father headed tbo party, followed
by tbe groom, escorting Mrs. Wormley.
The bride was attired in a dress oi white
tarleton, cut in “ curiclo” stylo, with flow
ing trail and six narrow flounces, waist
neatly pulled, tho whole trimmed with folds
of white satin. A wide sash and bow of
white satin completed her costume. On her
head was a wreath of orange blossoms and
a long costly white lace veil. Her hair,
short in front, was trimmed with natural
flowers. In her hand sbecarripd a fragrant
bouquet.
The bride is a quadroon, with an intel
lectual cast of countenance. The groom la
about 5 feet 7 inches in height, with heavy
moustache. He was attired iu a dress suit
of black, white vest, and a corn-colored
neck-tie. Mrs. Wormley was handsomely
dressed in dove colored poplin. Her hus
band was in full dress. The bride had as
her attendant Miss Fisher, sister of General
C. B. Fisher, of the Boys in Blue. This
lady, elaborately dressed in white satin,
was not strictly a bridesmaid, butappeared
as a friendly assistant. Her kind offices
were necessary from tbe fact that there were
no bridesmaids or groomsmen.
The little niece of the bride, beautifully
dressed, stood by her side until after the
ceremony. The company in attendance
werenearly all colored* there being but'
three or four 'white ladies and about ten
white gentlemen present.

A young lady told the following story to

man of this city attended a select gathering
of a few female acquaintances at the resi

while there accidentally discovered that be
had lost one of his sleeve buttons. But its
whereabouts he could not discover. They
hunted and hunted, but the missing sleeve
button was no where to be found. The
party separated about midnight and the
young lady friend retired with a ahum to
her room and began the process of disrob
ing. As the dress was opened the sleeve
button fell to the floor, iLs jingle being al

BUI far Uulformlty la Electing members

The Committee on Elections have agreed
upon a bill which provides that the day for
holding elections for members of Congress
shall be uniform throughout all the States.
As it will require some change in the laws
of several of the States to conform to this
act the bill provides that it shall not take
effect untiil the first Tuesday in November,
1872. Tbs bill has two objects, first, to in
sure a full representation of all the States at
the orginization of each new Congress on
the 4th of March, and, second, to prevent
persons from one State going into another
to coloniz.'. It is thought that having the
Congressional elections going on in all the
the States on the same day, every district
will find enough to do at home without
going to help their neighbors.

Where there are so many Fur Stores as i he re
is In the city of Philadelphia it is dHllculi /or
the uninitiated to determine whereto buy—
whoare verged in tho'liinarentquallrics
of Furs however, know where to go, and those
readers of this paper, who iiro not acquainted
with the various grades of Fuis, wo would ud
viso them to go toan establishment of the In
reputation, where they can purchase with the
greatest confidence, and be uatl«fied that they
are honestly dealt with. Wo know of uu bol
ter or more reliable sto o than that of Me-srs
JOSEPH ROSENBAUM A CO , No. 516 Attcu
Street Philadelphia, being ttielr now loca
tion, where wo are confident from their long
experience In the Fur business, that persons
can get good Furs and the worth of their
money.
Their New Store is the centro’of attraction
on account of the good light lii which thev
show otTall their goods. J
» On Saturday they do no business.^ £*
The most fashionable Ears this season will
be the Mink sable, and this Is the most Her
vlcable Far and they havo them In various
styles and qualities, and for prices to suit all •
and since a lady does not wish to got a now
set of Furs every season, it Is very essential
to know where to go and purchase good
i nrs.
To see the silky fineness and darkness and
elegance of flulsh of all their Furs will well
repay a visit to this establishment, and nil
their Furs are warranted to be genuine as rep
resented.
A Mink Sable set cost $l5 to $65, and some
very rare dark sets bring a little higher: but
from $3O to $5O will buy an excellent dark sot,
and those se a Lasts a Jody from eight to fif
teen years.
Then thrro Is the Hadson Bay Sable, the
