Spectal Diputeh to The Tribune, WasmingrTon, D. C., Jan, 14.—The Appro- priations Committee to-day decided uvon a bill toreorsanlze the nrmy. It was, however, de- chled that, fnasmuch as a Commission had been appointed to consider the subject, Gen. Ban- ning should be allowed an oppurtuvity to bring the Burnside Com aisslon bill before the House, provided it conld be done within a few days yrier to presentation of this Army bitl. The Apvroprlation Committee's plan s substan- tlnlly this: Thers are three features fn tho bill for the purposo of reducing the force. The flrst portion repeala so much of the cxisting Jawas limits the nwmber of officers who may be on the relired list. ‘Then vrovides that every officer who - has ‘Deen thirty years in tho service may upon his own applieation, be placed upon the retired lst, aud that nfter Jan. 1, 1850, every ofiieer who hins been forty years in ecrvice, or who aball be €2 years of age, SIIALL TE NETINED, but the President may extend the limit of years 1o 65 swhen In his Judement tho oflicer possesses peculiar merit. The sccond featura of tho reduction portlon of the bill provides that eny officer who may soluntarily resign from Lhe active hst before Jan. 1, 1880, may bo discharged with three years' full pay, but this provislon cannot Lo taken advantage of by pereons who have been convicted of misconduct. Another feature of tho proposcd reduction nllows the next twp eradusting classes of tho Military Academy to recelve 8750 each and saileagre to their respective regiments, and the acceptance of this provielon renders cadets lu- ¢ligible to appolntment in the army until TWO YEANS AFTER GRADUATION. These are the provisfons of the bill that look to getting officers out of tho army, The further general reduction conalsts in seallng down the officers of the staft 20 per cent, with the ex- ceptlon of the Engincer Corps, which s left as ft fs, and of tho Imspector's Department and Bureau of Military Justice. In tho Inspoctor's Department thie number is reauced from seven to fours {n the Bureau of Military Justlce, from cight to four; aod tho rank Is gencrally reduced to that of Coluncls, *With thess exceptions tho scale of reduction adopted is 20 percent {n stafl, horizontal, In Rine the reduction is effected by REDUCING REGIMENTS IN THE ARMY 10 four of artillery, elght of cavalry, and twenty of Infantry. ‘This Is o rediction of just 20 per cent, or from forty regiments, na it s now, to thirty-two.

In fact, the Treasury, when tho transaction 18 closed, recelves from the banks n exchange for the 4 per ceuts elther 8 per cents or coln, and experience shiows that it gets about 90 per cent of the smount IN JONDN. Ko far as the Treasury fs concerned, It thereforo exchangos 4 per cents for 6 per cents, and little or no money passes. ‘The umount of 4 per cents now sold by the Treasury to private persons, and for which it veceives greenbacks, is very small, compared with the total amount of 4 per centa Qtaposcd of, and it is getting less all tle time, becauso private purchasees lind that Ahey can get better terms from tho banks, Which divide thele profits with thelr customurs.
