Also rapidiy incieasing, cape laily In the Southern and : leo Include substantially the funt- tions of the other, The efficiency of the ser vico would, wo thiuk, be much inercased by combining the two departments into one, Some of the distinguished experts who have appeared before the Committee have recommended that the Orduance Corps should he abolished and its duties be committed to artillory officers in the line of the army. ‘This rocommendation we cannot adopt, Tho fune- tions of the two branches are entirely distinct, and, without special training, an oflicer of the one cannot perform the datica of the ether, Tho Orlnanee Corps is charged with the manufacture and preservation of arms of all kinds, and with the preparation of ammu. nition and Its delivery to troops on the field of battle, The business of officers of artil- lery is to manage the cannon of an army in and to tako charge of fighting the great groans in fortresses, We cannot eco that anything would be gained by fusing the two corps. Tho three remaining departments are the Paymasters, the Quartermasters, and the Commissaries of Subsistence, These three can certainly be combined with great ad- vantage, As it now is, the Paymasters re- ive and pay over the wages of the trooy the Quartermasters provide eleshieg, wagon horses, mules, harnesses, steamboats, and food for beaste; the Commissaries furnish: food forthe mon. If @ Commissary has to supply an army with food, he must apply to a Quartermaster to get it transported to the place of consumption, Both duties could be discharged by one offlcer with great cconomy of expense and often of time. And when pay day came around, tho same officer could reeelve the money and pay it over to the troops without difficulty or fucon- venionee, We have long been convinced that these three departments could be profitably united into one; and we are much fortified in that opinion by the testimony of Gen, Rurus Incarys, who has advised the Committee in fayor of such a change: Gon, INcaLis is one of the ablest and most experienced officers of the Quartermaster’s Department, and we trast that his advico will have its due we'glt with the country as well as with Copgrees.

They belong to no party, and are of no sect. They are simply outlaws, and, accord Ing to the forme of law, they should be placed beyond the social palo as promptly as we tage wild beasts or exterminate mad dogs. - — ceks aud Turks. Col, Burn Porten, of this city, has ad ministered a well-deserved rebuke to the Hon, ap. Siranke, of Indiana, Mr. Snanks got up one day in his place in Congress end denounced Oman Pasa, the chief General of Turkey, as “the ‘Turkish Haynav.” Of arse, our excellont Indiana Congresaman ew nothing on the subject except what ho bed picked up from the partisan pamphlets end newspapers of the day; but he did not esitate to use such language, Col. Porter, va the other hand, is personally acquainted with OMAK Pasi, Las served upon his etait, vad testifies that, instoad of being a barba sous and crue! General, he is gentle, consider ae, and kludly, We trust that thie admonition may be profitable to Suanks; and we finagine that { it were rightly applied it might be profit De to us all, One of those notions which led into our minds from early childhood is that the Turks are foes of Christianity, that they are wicked boathen, devoid of e' virtue, and that we ought to detost them, kill them off, drive them ont of the world, On the other hand, we are wont to attribate to the people to whom circumstances have assigned the post of ren’sting the Maslem—we mean of tourse the Grecks—every good quality which ought to enlist in their behalf the sympathy of mankind. , Now, neither of these opinions is well founded. The Turks are as little worthy of our hatred and antagonism os the Grecks are of our aid and admiration, The Turks are an honcet, humane, good. matured, povtical, lazy people, ruling the racce which are subject to thom with great moderation and forbearance. The Grovks, on the other hand, are a people of knaves. There are individual exceptions, no doubt, Dut such is their national character. The word of a Turk may be relied on. You may give him your purse without even counting \te contents. You may leave your property In bis hands with certainty that it will he Justly returnod, But the Greck is a liar and a thief, and will cheat you out of your eye teeth, In Turkey you can travel alone with pafety. Robbers are not tolerated, In Greece you cannot goten miles into the country with out an escort; and even then the probability is that your escort will betray you into the hands of the brigands. In a word, the Turk fs a great deal better Christian than tho Grock, because Lis Ifo is much more in ac- cordance witit the Cliris\ian law,, It is now nearly forty ycors since Greece became an independent power, and what is she today?

The champion of the City College, the gen. tloman who pays taxes on $900,000 worth of real estate, has informed the public that his pet institution will require $115,000 in cash this year to pay the ‘salaries of ite professors and other expenses, This, he seems to thivk, is a moderate amount for the number of students educated, and not hy any meane to be grumbled at by the taxpayers who fur. nish it. We have already shown that, deducting tho introductory and Freshman classes, which pursuo the studies usually taught fn high schools, and the total expense of instructing whom necd not be over $15,000 a year, there are actually 174 students who may be pro- perly considered as belonging to the Col and that the average number of graduates for the past five years is less than thirty each year, Supposing, however, we count in the whole Freshman class, we shall have as members of the College proper 857 students, upon whom certainly $100,000 ont of the $115,000 are expended, ‘That this is a need. loss and extravagant waste of moncy will appear by a comparison with the cost of car. rylng on other institutions of the same kind, ‘Vhe University of Michigan had an income lant year of $65,000, $25,000 of which was de- rived from etudents’ fees. With this sum it sustained law, medical, and colleylete schools, wich ap immense laboraiory-for the study of practical chemistry, The average number of students is not far from fyteen hundred, Columbia College, with an income about equal to that of the City College, supports schools similar to those of Michigan Uni sity, with 750 students, and an annual grad. uating class of nearly tio hundred, The University of the City of New York, with $60,000 income, has the same schools, 500 students, and about 150 yearly graduates. Harvard and Yale have incomes about equal to that of the City Colloge, have cach between six and seven hundred students in their several departments, and graduate an nually between one and two huudred young men, are inst when fa tmnch a it ought, does not the fact remove every porsible pretext for continuing it in existence? We hops the Legislature will take hold of the matter. Let an in ting committee be appointed to inquire into it. Find out what salaries are paid, and how much work is done in return for therhy Get the statistics of the expenses of other colleges, and soe how they compare with those of the City College, Atk where all the money goes to, and see if the whole does not form a terrible leak which ought to be stopped. An ingniry of this kind will cause no trouble to compare with that of paying unnecessary taxes, and lis resulte cannot fail to be highly interesting. a There can be no objection to the New York Timea \oading the preseut attempt to blacken the character of Lows M, Startow, if it so chooses, A great journal like the Zimes ought not to be hindered from the performance of a public duty by any personal regard for an individnal, how. ever eminent, or by any consideration of past friendship, however cordial, But we submit that after Mr, Staxoy bes emphatically denied that he gave any exset orlers to Gen. Baxns to super. sede Gen. Guat at Vicksburg, itis rather rough for the Tima to try to conviner its readers that Mr Stanrow is a liar as well as @ troachcrous double-dealer by the cirentation of another tale whose untruth has been publicly demonstrated, In the work of caluimolating and disgracing such gman, the Thace ought at least to bring forward ho statements that are not plausible, and no wit nesses whose veracity has already been cou- clusively impouch Tt fe en ne urativ —— = 1 that the ordinary ceremony of will have to be somewhat varied in of Gon, Grant, because ho will not ride to the Capitol im the same carriage with Axpanw Jonxsow, This is but natural and manly on the part ofthe President elect, Apart from the gen- eral fecling of disreapect for Mr. Jonxsox, Gen, Garxe ought not to forget that the attempt was made by that person to convict him of falsehiond, » offence against truth bad really been led by Jowxson along, By all ueans let A.J. have a conch for himself, The Jewish Messoager thinks it would be a ¥ to shut up the College of New York on the the cane ground of expense, That ta not the grow which we advise euch a measure, Our ¢ fx, that the expense fa not borne by the right partion, It iy forced out of the pockets of the taxpayers, an extort n not practised in rela- Mego in the wold, If there ont number of milliouaires like Mr. Cuaruin who want to have such an fnatituon kept up, let them get togethor and put up the necessary endowments, After that they ean run the College without complaint from anybody.

From the beginning to the end of Gen, Guant’s career during the war, he had a constant and unwavering supporter in Mr. Staxtox.
