The I'ost and other papers argue that as the population has increased from 44,500,000 to 47,000,000, while the army on a peace footing remains at * €45,000 men, it is expected to create a new annual contingent of 25,000 men, ‘This is the minimum proposed in the government plan which s to form a new army corps of 20, | 000 men, the remaining 5,000 tobe aistributed among the artillery.

The Tennesseean Lacking in Moral Courage to Save That State to the Union, SOME INTERESTINGWAR HISTORY The Craze Among People to Get a Look at Money—A Big Syndis sate Getting Possession of Pine Lands. The Plumed Knight's Criticism of Bell WASHINGTON, Nov, 20.—[Special Corre- spondence of the Bre.]—Mr. Blaine's se- vere but just criticism of the course pursued during the war by the late Ion. John W. Bell, of Tennessee, whom the Plumed Knight holds largely responsible for the secession of that state, recalls to the mind of your corre- spondent some facts furnished by an old Ten- nessee politician, who is well informed in istory of the *‘volunteer state” during last past half century, and whichare of great interest at this moment. Mr. Bell, it will be remembered, was the candidate of the southern unionists for presi- dent in 1560, True. Douglass received thou- sands of votes in the border states and some in the cotton belt, but the great bulk of southiern unionists, who were the old whigs, supported Johin Bell for president and Ed- ward lLiverett, of Massachusetts, for vice president. In Lennessee, to illustrate, Doug- las received 110,000 votes. while Bell received a plurality of the vote of the state and got its electors, as he did in Kentucky and Mary- land, o0 great was the influence of John Bell in Tennessee that it is not doubted, as Mr, Blaine says, that had he remained true to the union the state would never haye seceded,” said the l'ennesscean. “His old neighbors at Nashville have told me that in sympathy, in feeling, he was really opposed to the dis- ruption of the government; that he always hated Jeff Davis and the secession leaders, but that while ot wanting in physical cour- age he was lamentably delicicnt in moral coutage. When the preliminary steps wero being taken to carry Tennessee out of the union and the secession mob in Nashville was pushing things with a high hand Mr, Bell ealled upon his neighbor, the Hon. John ‘Trimble, a staunch unionist, and wringing his hands, asked with pathetic voice, “I'rim- ble, is there no way by which we can save Tennessee to the union? *Yes, said ‘Trimble, ‘there is one way by which it can be done. ‘In God's name,” said Mr, Bell, ‘name it.” “Well, sir,” continued Trimble, ‘if you will seize the glorious old banner of stars and strips and march through the streets ot Nash- ville and call on the people to rally to it they will do it in such a manner as to strike terror to the rebel leaders and stay the tide. “Why,’ said Bell, ‘the secession mob would assassinate me.” ‘That might be,” was Trim- ble's reply, ‘but you would save Tennessee to the union, and yon will never have such & glorious opportunity to dia,’ “But instead of following Mr. Trimble’ advice Mr, Bell bowed to the storm and per- mitted himself to be bulldozed, & few days after this interview, into making a rebel speech. Te responded to the serenade of few rebel troops and declared his advice to his old union friends to be that they should o with thelr state. Soon after this Mr. Bell was prevailed upon by the secession leaders to visit Kuoxville and bring out to the con- fede:aid cause the loyalists of East Tennes see. Accordingly an appointment was made for him to speak at the Knoxville court house, Axriving there he sent a note to Parson Brownlow, requesting an interview with him and other union friends, Bell was em- barrassed by his new attitude in public life, and wanted personally to explain and palliate his course to his friénds. ‘Theparson and others assembled. Now, In 1860, Brown- low done more in the eampaign to advanee the cause of Bell and Everett on the plat- form of “the union, the constitution and the enforeement of the laws” than any other man in the south, So he mado one more appeal 10 his old ehief to stand firm and support tne old flag in the conflict about to ensue. At the interview Brownlow poured out his wrath on Bell’s head because. the latter was aiding the confederacy, and Bell bowed h head in_grief and shame, while the tears streamed down his yenerable face. So start- ling, so striking was the avpeal that it seemed to those who heard it to be irvesistable, But die was cast. Mr, Bell faltered in his t career and turned his back on those who had stood by him all the years of his manhood. The effect of this rebuke of Bell by Parson Brownlow and the friends who were with him was manifested the next day when Mr. Bell came to speak. But the speech was altogether unsatisfactory to the secessionists and unionists, because he de- elared neither for the union nor the rebellion He cave the lie to his life eer, and went down to his grave unhonored by either of the ties to the great struggle, “On the other hand Parson Brownlow remained true to Lis principles, true to himself and true to his country, and made for himself o lasting name. MAMMON'S MONOMANIACS, “It's strange what @ craze therc is amon, the people to see money,” said a treasur clerk to your correspondent, “Stranzers to Washington are the wost eager, as a rule, to visit our department and stand around the ash-room and look at the money. 1f it were not for the east-iron rule forbidding visits to the vaults it would require a clerk at the treasurer’s oflico to do nothing but attend to applications of those who want to see the money. Lliey seem to hayve 1o limit to their curiosity in this respect, Why, the great bulk of hunianity would rather stand and gaze upon a few wagon loads of money than see a cireus. “Well do I remember the seenes we nsed to bave in the northwestern part of the building on the first floor, where the currency is cut, counted and put 'into packs, and_ wiiero the old currency and stamps for cancellation are summed up. There used to be open iron bar screens bef the aoors and corridor windows, so that the passers by could look into the work of counting and handling the money and revenue stamps, althou h they could not enter the rooms, People used to come along there—good-looking, well- dressed und evidently educated and intelli- gent men and wowen, but evidently unused 10 seeing large quantitics of money—and stand and look in for hours. They would look and look till we wondered if they would not faint. When noon eame, if it was in the morning that the crowd of visitors ap- proached, they would patiently wait till we were througn with lunch, then take up their places and continue to wateh the money till they appeared to grow stoop shouldered. ‘Their curiosity could mot be appeased. Finally curtains were put up, 50 1o one could “look into the rooms, 8s the money- sers became a nuisance.’” A GAMBLING CRRAZE. During the two weeks of racesat 1vey City, this district, and at Baltimore, only forty-five miles distant, Washington has had a taste of gambling which was never equaled, except during the war period, The lotels huve been flooded with inen who live by betting, and they bave sown the seeds of the disease of gambling sodeeply that it will take montl (o eradicate it.

The vacanvies wetd to be njed clerks of the $100 & monii elass, and about six months elapsed-oeforethenew appoiutees were decidid tpon. Six weeks ago the ap Paitiiments wors made, and the head of the department decided that —the new ap- pointees should “receive the increase the ol ones recerved from the time of their dis- missal to the date of the new appointments. The figures threw about 30 back pay into each oue’s pocket. The clerks smiled over drawing pay for the interim in_which no one served.” Being easily earned, it it was quickly and”ineautionsly spent, But a day of reckoning came. ~The ~comptroller a few days ago decided that this money did not belong to the new clerks, and that it must be returned, whereupon last pay day they found upon’ opening their envelopes a note instead of their half month's pay, and it an- nonneed that the $50°would have to be re funded. The complaints were much more Joud and bitter than the congratulations were cheery when the extra pay was received. The clerks regard the incident as a great hardship.
