Tbe Congressional Investigation of this traftc, oven If It should elicit no fret suffl elect to convict a member, will be productive of great good, If It shall serve to draw pub lic attention to the abuses of which tbe present military and oaval academy systems are liable. The hue and cry raised about a money conslds ration for these favorite oitt clal plume appears tons very ridiculous lo tho faco of will established official trading In civil offices. Cadets hips are by no meant the only offices sold, though perhaps the last discovered, nor Is money tbe only con sideration given for office, though con fusedly a base one, especially If paid In no coosLUatloaal currency. There Is an old 'dare, very horacl v but verv aDt. which savsi Ttr$ art othtr tniyi n killing a dog hnUn (noting Mr uit buttir." We do not stand rusponslblo for tho elegance of the senll xnent, but we commend the moral of It to the Congressional Investigating Committee and all others cognisant of the prices paid or oOlce. The trade, we mare them, Is ex tensl re, though the circulation mediom Is variable. Aa to the cadetshlps, we must confess the pticas reported to have been paid are very Inconsiderable, and far below thslr actual Talao. The gentlemen who disposed of toeu, If any did, for cash In hand, raust have bsen Inexperienced la tbe assessment of valnes to sell at any price, from $500 to 13,900, positions which cost the people of the United States at tho rate of 130,000 oaco. Thev do belter with such offices In Kngland, where the sale Is Id open market. ana involve no charge of corruption. It Is strange how the same thing Is viewed In different Joeatlonsj but aa Shakspeare truly say i "Men's Judgment are a parcel of their fortune." It Is a question whetbar the salo of cadet ship by a Government auctioneer In open market might not be qnlto as fair lo the Individual citizen, while It would certainly be more profitable to the Government than the present system. HI true competition amongst the rich would excludo the poor from an opportunity of getting their sons duelled at Government expense) but Is It as fair as that now f At preaent, through tbe appointments at large, army and navy offlei-rs of the line get their son Into the acadsmla and perpetual family distinc tion, while U each Congressional district of one hundred and twenty-Are thousand In habitant on boy whese father Is In favor with tbe member of Congress 1 selected. If a cltlsen of tbe Republic wishes to edu cate hi son for tbe army or nary he mnst await the following extraordinary conblna tloa of circumstances, to wilt II must edu cate his son np to a certain required stand ard, and during the short period of time that th son 1 eligible to appointment the father must so have trimmed his political sails or managed his relations, social, business and political, a to bavo secured th favor of tbe Individual who, for during tho period, hap pen to represent his district. There are a hundred accidents of life against gratifying his desire to one In lis favor. These circum stance not combining, h would be clad to ducat hi con for th army or navy at his own expense, but this boasted Republic will not grant htm permission. The boy who gets me piac may be tbe son of a million aire who means are as ample to educate hi on for military service as are those of thousands of fathers who educate their sons to be staff officers of both army and navy at tu i ...,, HIJM 1 their own exiasr,yet we. the heavily-taxed I People, mnst nBthamnfrinnnntn-. I cat the rich man's son and edncate our own children besides. The sue cess fa 1 boy may have no military taleat, and, a frequently happens, retire from Government service lmmedlatley after graduating-, to follow aomo private pursuit! whlli a hundred other lads excluded bytha s access f til one's ap pointment might have been fall of military genlnsj and not only are those prevented from ever gratifying thslr bent, but the country loses tUa great advantage which uoh spirit would bring to the service. Nor do the evils of the Academy system top with the method of appointment. Thev axe manifold and palpable to the sense of the most can (ess observer. They hare fas tenod upon the country two anomalous and nnrejiablican branches of public service, euIflcUotlr powerful to arrogate to them Bftlvwi grand and aristocratic tltlss, dJipro. portlonately lsrgn compensation for service, exclusive courts, a Ufa tenure of office, and pensions for their families after death. The contrast Llwaeu the civil officers of the Government, who rspresent the power constitutionally and theoretically supreme, and the military and naval officers of the line, who are constitutionally bat not prac tically subordinate, 1 so graat that we won der the Congressional Representatives of th pwople do not make some effort to restore their proper relations. Our father did not look with much favor upon high military titles, and although they had several naval wars with foreign Powers that brought fame to inch distinguished name a Stewart, Balnbrldge, Lawrence, ferry and Deeatar, tbsy never found It necessary to grant a hlgbr rank than com modore. Now wa bare an admiral, vice admiral and a docen or so rear admirals, tome of them obscure and unknown men, whoo names carry no enthoslasm, but who, In tho ornamental positions of postadmlrala with steam yachts and barge at their ser Tleo, cost us about 1100,000 a ysar each to wind red tape for the dignity of the service. Some offices are too grand for use, but when a grand office with titular distinction Is created there mast be some pretext for its existence. General Washington, tbe first of Americans who enjoyed that distinction, followed th most illustrious examples of history by resigning hi commission when the war was ovr and It was a habit in ancUm Germany so wIt established that no generality existed afUr th war which raated a necessity for It was ver. Our naval line oflloers, not aUafld with im extrBordlnary and unprecedented honors nih.erlT ttaJpmlrlotlo paopl In the midst of a cl,U wr, wb.relutbey tterformad fnr th. ,-.. ' "I MVJ Lt !,;:: .

Is It because some of tbe Utter are mechanics, and the aris tocracy of the Una wish to make the line of social demarcation so clear that It may be een by those who are unable to distinguish between gentlemen r Or Is It because tbe staff have paid for their own edncatlon In stead of bring educated at Government ex pense? we can do without admirals, as the wars of onr alorlous old commodores baver-hnwnt but we cannot do without en gineer In tV di v of Iron-clad steamers. We think It time some more republican vMem if train in the youth of nur country tu arm ehnnld bo adopted. Every cltlsen of lit Tvpub'lc shout l have an equal chance to enitiry his son's dolre for military edu cttlmt And fur army service, aad as he woul I as willingly pay for It as he now does for a lftful, medical or other professional dneatlon, Congress should provide the mean. Y want no exclusive academies, whre certificates are equivalent to titles of nobility, and whoso class spirit controls the military ant naral branches of the Govern ment by a jit em whtch kills all aspiration among the people. We want schools all over the country of eqial worth and Influ ence, and where every man who chooses to pay for his son education la army or navy matters may do so with the assurance that If he passe tbe examination of a proper Government board hi name shall be entered for service when wanted. At ready the Government has granted aid to the States for agricultural collages. Why not make these the germ of a new military system, by assigning military officers, at Government expense, to teach the art to the pupils of tbeae colleges. It would at once give the deal red lmpttns to these Institu tions, now llngerlog for the most part to a slow death, and also give officers something to do. The Constitution authorized Con grcfstoorgantxethe mllltta of the United States. What better method of officering an efficient military reserve In each State than to haro a school In It where any rather may send his son at his own expense, with tbe assurance that la passing his ex amination he will be commission sd, and may be called Into the national service We throw out this Idea to germinal In tbe brat ns of our lawgivers, not having space In this article to develop It details.

This reduction 1 " from 3,700 pounds of rtfutt or turf act ore " from th above lodes, thus giv ing a yield of $00.53 to tbe ton. The mines are the property of the Ilelmlck Sliver Min ing Company, and I owned by Washington parties entirely. Tbe company l well or ganised, with ample capital to push forward these great tunnel enterprises. Before the month of June these rich silver lodes will be reached at a depth of two hundred and tlfty feat, when a yield of f 450 per ton Is fully expected and when so reached forty tons per day can be mined at a small cost psr ton. A wsll-known professor of this olty, who has mad a personal examination of Lsav- en worth mouotaln, (la which these mines are located,) and other motntatos In the neighborhood of Georgetown, Colorado, says i "From present Indications and de velopments they Indicate the richest mine ral region la the world.' Tbe tunnel privi leges of the company amount to 13,800,000 feet of the surface msasurement and about 330,000 lineal fset of ore veins, some of tbsm eight feet thick, embracing the most valua able portion of this well known mountain. It will be seen by their advertisement that there Is a limited amount of stock of this company for sale. Parties wishing to pur chase can now havo an opportunity of mak ing a prod table Investment.

The complication of "The Situation" .at lha legitimate results of the rebellion, en hanced by the different standpoints occupied by the rreeldent on th on side and by tba Oonrrees on tbe other, under tbe adminis tration which followed close npon Its termi nation. These antagonistic relations between the exeentlre and legislative branches of the Government were more folly discriminated, and made mote promloentty positive by the action of the recent national conventions, so-called. In the construction of their re spectire platforms, and tbe nomination of their respective candidates for the Presidency and Vice Presidency of the United States. The Issuee which were thus presented be fore the people were, many of them, real and fundamental they Involved the pre servation or destruction of the national life, and the national life being gone, atl that partaln to and upholds the right of human nature, on this great continent, perchance throughout the world, Is gone also. Could we have united the two opposing parties, or a majority of them on the Issue which. In each, were fundamental; dla severed from those alms and lesnea which, in cbih, wirq uiiieiT pa.fi.i.M.u vr aociiuuKi. the preservation of th national life, and the security of the rights of human nature under It, would have been placed beyond all pern. It Is still to be booed, now that the contest and strife of parties la ended, that there will be a hearty co-operation of all right-minded men to sustain ine existing Aaminisiraiion In the great work of restoring peace to th land aod good-will between all IT Inhab itants. With this Tlew the writer ventures to submit to the consideration of the thoughtful statesman and student the fol lowing sirgestione aabeartag"npou tbe fun damental Issuee to be determined under the new Administration. All through our revolutionary struggle th fathers declared, emphatically and oft, that their grand aim wa to establish, pro tect and defend, for themselves and their posterity, (A rigMt qf human tutfurt. This waa their favorite phraseology. With It they gave answer whenever their motives or alms were questioned, and with It they commended the Justice of their cause to all the peoples of the earth. Their labors culminated In the production and adoption of the Federal Constitution, so-called. The governmental organism pre scribed by that covenant they regarded as securing tbe ultimata consummation of all their far-reaching hopes and alms. In It they defined and discriminated with an ac curacy. Justness and wisdom unparalleled In the annals of nations, the rights, dotlee and powers of the people, the States and the nation which were to be established and perpetuated under this paramount charter and guaran tee of an Indissoluble national Union. And all the complications and peril which to day environ tbe national peace aod life have bad tbelr origin In early and later In fringements of and departure from cove nant contained la this Magna Chart of national, State and Indlvldaal right la the United Bute of America. Its declared aim and ouroosss are to form a more perfsct union, establish Jusllee, Insure domestic tranquillity, provide for the common oeience, promote sue general wei fare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity."
