Where unanimity is needed for every decision, and there are no means of forcing decisions, Progress can only be made by compromises, Woujd not the formation ofan international com- mission be almost an admission that the stipulations pf the treaty cannot be executed fully; and would It not encourage those who might feel disposed to execute only # few clauses of the treaty ” Advices from Philippopolis state that the International Com- mission has adopted, with some slight modifications, the scheme of reforms for Eastern Roumelia sléctive council general and popular elections for tertain local offices.

The bankrupt firm of Nicol & Co., of Bombay, had acquired the greater part of the mining rights in the district, and were pre- paring to organize a company for more extensive operations when the City of Glasgqw Bank failure de- feated the project.

A de- *patch from Rome says the Vatican has ‘decided on somplete separation from the Centre (ultramontane), party in the German Reichstag. The ultramontane organ, the Germania, of Berlin, says it finds little im the negotiations between the Vatican and Germany on which to rest hopes of peace with the Church.

EX-CONFEDERATE OFFICERS OF VIRGINIA ON THE REORGANIZATION OF THE ARMY AND THE [M- PROVEMENT OF THE MILITIA--A PLAN TO BE RECOMMENDED ‘TO CONGRESS. (BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.) * Ricumonp, Nov. 14, 1878, An important meeting of military men has just been held here which is destined to attract consider- able attention throughout the country. Jt was ameet- ing of volunteer officers and graduates of the Virginia Military Institutc, and is intended to inaugurate a reorganization of the entire military system of the United States. Its importance will be more fully un derstood when it is known thet it was conducted by old United States Army officers, ex-Confederates and the alumni-of the Virginia Academy. A committee, through General Dabney Maury, chairman, reported ® memorial to the State Legislature and to Congress asking for a reduction of the army, a reorganisation of the militia and a system of appointments to West Point by selecting from the most -eompotert of graduating clasecs of the State Military Institute, the cadets to be appointed by the United States Academy instead of ‘having them appointed by members of Congress, as at present. VIEWS OF BRADLEY 7. JOHNSON. General Bradley T. Johnson favored the striking out of the memorial all that portion looking to a re- duction of the army and to limit the change in the manner of appointments of cadets to those hereafter appointed from Virginia. He read an elaborate paper. in favor of a reorganization of the militia and limit- ing the army toeite proper funotions. , It set forth that it was the duty of Con, to pro- vide for anizing the militia, but it their officers m hey ony inted by the States, and that the militia co called upon to keep the peace® quell insurrection and put down disorder. The con- stitution nowhere authorized the federal authority to suppress disorder or act av @ porse comitatus, and that no circumstances could the army be used inany State without boing called for by the Legislature, or by the Governor when the Legixlature could not be con- vened in time. ‘A MILITIA ORGANIZATION. His proposition was for the organization of a force of militia, say 1,000 for each Congressional district, to be equipped and organized by the United States, but the officers appointed by the States, to be under the orders of the Governors of the States; the eppropria- tion not-to be paid until an inspection the federal staff showed the militia came up to the standard of efficiescy; the volunteers in each State to be enlisted for fwe years; one fifth to go out of service cach year, and camps of in-- struction not exceeding . thi days each year to be provided, This would give .000 men in the ranks at the end of five years. Three hundred thousand men would be trai and discharged, and at the end of ten years 900,000 crained and {ustructed men would constitute a reserve force for any emergency. ARMY REORGANIZATION. romani | to his plan the whole question of army reorganjzation ought to be left to the Congressional Commission appointed for thet purpose, and the army ought to be kept in the highest degrea of efficiency, Its staiY ought to be organized aud in- structed fully up to-the most advanced experience of modern Western Eurvpean nations, aud it ought to be the cadre of formation for the troops of the Union in time of war—readily vapuble of being expandel to 100,009 or to 500,000 men_as necessity required, ‘The memorial as amer@ed was adopted and will be presenicd by the Virginia members to the Howse and the Committee on Military Affaire and an attempt made to getahis Congress to provide for « thorough reorganization of the militia.
