The ood seuse that lias characterized
all the notions of General Giant since lie
entered upou Lis public career is display
ed iu his annua! report as Genera!-iu-Chief
aud Secretary of War. We have hereto
fore adverted to the economical policy he
has pursued since he took charge of the
AVar Department, and in this report he
gives us some details of his retrenchment.
lie tells us that the army is irlostly of
ficered by meu whose army experience
does uot date back of ISCiO, aul that they
have continued iu time ol peace the ci.
pausivc arr.tnireuieuts to which they were
accustomed iu war. To this he has put a
ttop.
lie has also abolished some five differ
ent bureaus created during the war, but
now deemed unnecessary, and which w-re
more suueries for official drone-, such
as the Huieau of Rebel Archives and the
iJureau ol .Military Justice. In Ibe Quar
termaster's Department he has made even
a greater change, Vy ordering the sale of
the jrreater portion of the vast aeeutuui;'.
tion of stoics of all sorts, which far ex
ceeded the wants of our present military 1
ct.tb!i-hmcut lor many years to come. j

than their value. Jy orderui; tne sale,

Iu the Frcedman's 15ure;iu he has male
a uselul change by closing the hospitals
at the south and substituting dispensaries,
as a mote economical mode of relief to
the sick. There i always to be found in
hospitals a class of idlers who seek that
shelter because of the good living to he
had there lor nothing. Grant s-aw enough
of this in the tirmy during the war, and
soon detected this feature of the Uurcau
as Icing one of the leading causes of ex
pense. The dispensaries will furui.-h re
lief fa those who are really sick, but no
maintenance. Grant has also made a
chaugo iu tho distribution of rations to
th'j needy. In August last he discontinu
ed it entirely, reserving the funds and
isuppiiis on hand for those who may ic
puiro help during the winter. It appears
that the whole expense of this relief for
the yen ha been ? 1 lfijOO'ljo, for '-' ,372

Finally, the Geueral proposes to rediue
the army very con-iderably, which is the
most important feature tf all iu bis ro

Few of our readers know anything
about a fellow in Fayette township, thi
county, by the name of J. W. Muters
baugh, neither would we annoy them wi'li
reading t his notice wore it not fur the.
fact that lie persists in meddling wM: our
busines?. A few weeks since he called
at our odiee and ordered us to discontinue
a paper we had been sending to a neign
Lor of his. This he done without any
authority from the gentleman who bad
heou receivinjj the paper, a-; he has since
iufonued us, and ordered ns to eoutiuue
it. From ccrtaiu circumstances v.e have
reason to believe that he has taken the
authority to collect money for us, aud or
der papers discontinued because, as he
says, the pcrsous getting them are "too
poor to pay for theui." We would just
inform .Mr. J, W. Mutershaugh that this
is our loss, and that if Lo continues toiu

Washington, Pee. 7. The public
debt statement Tor November was issued
to-day. It shows that Secretary M'Cul
loeh did not withdraw four millions from
circulation last month, and further con
traction for the present has been ahanded.
The bill from the Committee of Ways
and M.ins, to repeal the aet authoring
the Secretary of the Treasury to retire
?1,000,0G"J of the greenbacks monthly,
was t.iken up in the House after the im-resch-jicnt
matter was disposed of, and
adopted hy 128 yeas to C2 nays.
In Pike county the Copperheads were
mean enough to elect both Jury Commis-t-ioners.
The Republicans could have
done the same thing in En-iford, Tiojn,
lie., but they did not do it.
THE COTTON TAX.
A bill to repeal the cotton tax has been
promptly reported by the Committee on
Ways and Means, and us promptly passed
by the House of lleprcsentutivos. As
this was asked by all the manufacturers'
meetings that have been held in the north
ern ami western cities to devise means ol
relieving their present disastrous condi
tion, this response of Congress reflects
credit on that body, and will be hailed
with pleasure by business men generally.
Our own impression had favored the grad
ual reduction of the tax, but we cheerlul
ly indorse the action of the House, as the
cottou manufacture in the United States
has become a great interest, and deserves
encouragement in its struggle with the
powerful jSiiiisli interest (hut iseverseek
ing to monopolize our markets.
Cotton Ins so long been one of the chief
staple products of our country, that our
commerce, our industry, our fmaui.v, have
all, iu a lare measure, been built up ou
it. Anterior to the civil war we were
the chief producers of cotton, and the
vast importance ol this staple was one ol
the to. lin arguments ol the defenders ol
slavery and of southern domination. It
was said that emancipation would ruin
the cotton culture in the southern .Stales.
It has net done to, although the cotton
ciop is uot what it once was. War, with
all its desolation, has done more to depress
tho cotton culture than emancipation.
Still it behooves Congress to be wary
how it obstructs the recuperation of the
cottou interest by oppressive taxation. It
is t nc sentiment uoi it?s tnun tne interest i
of the people of the north that the
cot -
ton i ulttire should le fostered. It has
been of incalculable benefit to us in years
gofie by, and it does not speak well ol our
sagacity that so many ol the southern
planters now find it more profitable to cul
tivate wheat than cotton. The opposition
to the i ' : 1 1 lor the roj cal o
the enituu i-.x
lit. COIIOU tax
that was made in the House mu-t nut be
charged to liortliern sectional bitterness.
One ica.-ou for this oppositiou was that
-he wool luterett wished the sam
poocy
practised toward wool. Another was
that cotton speculators dcied a modifica
tion of the bill ti suit their own purposes.
From the promptitude with which this
bill was reported and passed, we argue

Till; PRESIDENT'S SIESSACIi:.
The message is too long fur our col
nmns. It is similar to all the other pa-
port, of the same character that Lave
comofro:u Andrew Johnson. Ills dis-
cussiou of the Itecoust ruction question is
simply a resume of the arguments of IIIs
various veto messages nothing new. l'e
regards the Congressional plan of Itecon -
structiou a failure indeed, an impedi -
meut iu the work of restoring the States
to their normal condition. Iu the face of
the evidence of 3Iilitary Commanders in
the South who have been compelled to
decapitale lawless llcbel officials, in all di
reetions, and the fierce, unrelenting ier
soeuting even to death of loyal I'w'oMs.ts,
white aud black, the Presidour insists
that :
''The execution of the laws is Dot now
obstructed or opposed h' physical force j
there is no military o' other uecco-fty,
real or pretended, which can prevent obe
dience to the Cou.-ti'ution, either North
or S'uuth. All tho rights and all the ob
ligations of States and individuals can be
protected and eut'urced by means perfectly
consistent with the fundamental law. The
com is may be cvoty where open, and, if
ien, their process v. mid he unimpeded.
Crimes sgiinst the IKiteu States can le
prevented or punished y the proper ju
dieial authorities in a .uauiicr entirely

The President argues at length the uu
constitutionality oP the Military Govern
incuts iu the South, aud urge? the repeal

The history of the Methodist E-.iscopal

its existence in the IV
a study well worthy the attention ol
thoughtful men everywhere. The mod-!
j csty of its beginnings furnish, an amazing
j contrast to Its present colossal power. The
j good which it i,as accomplished would
! sjctn to be merely the index to tho vast
' ability for its work now, after a century of
sturdy growth has placed it foremost
among the evangelical churches. Not
: only does it rank first in numbers, indus-
try and zeal, but it has just displayed a
power and wealth which is astounding.
The number of Conferences iu the
United States is sixty-six, we believe, and
the returns of the Centenary collections
from two-thirds of these show the aggre
gate fur the year of nearly seven millions
of dollais. It is altogether probable that
this immense sum will be increased by re
turns from the rcmaiuing Confoieuces to
nine million?, or even more. This liber
ality is unequalcd. The Weslcyan Meth

Church in l-nahmd. have heretofore giv
