This is one good effect of the new salary bill. The naval appropriation bill, as the Senate is about to pass it, cuts down the original estimate* $2,000,000. The office of Brig idicr-Gener.il of M irines is abolished as soon as a vacancy oc curs, and the marines are cut down to 1,500. The Louisville Courier-Journal says: “Let us have peace,” said Grant in one of his inaugurals. The market price for that useful article, according to tin» estimates for the War Depart ment, is <50.000,000 a year for the army, ami >35,01)0,000 for the navy. As amended and cut down by the committee, the army appropriation bill appropriates $28,449,916. It was peeled down twenty per cent, below the original demands of the War De partment bureaus. This reduction con templates a reduction of the regular army by 5,000 men. Congressmen are already beginning to speculate concerning the possibility ofan adjournment on May 1st. They argue that the House has assumed such a position as regards retrenchment, that no bill taking money from the Treas ure can pos*ibly command attention from Congre** at this session, except ordinary appropriation bills. O’Meara, Mitchell and Williams. What do honest Republicans in Ore gon, savs the Democrat, think of this combination? Mitchell in the Senate, Williams in the < ’abinet, both blackened with deserved infamy, and O'Meara in Washington, for a beggarly stipend, to whitewash them through his cor respondence with the Bulletin. Isn’t it cheerful ? The R idical officials of Texas, who attempted to hold their offices against 45,000 majority, hoping to get aid in their usurpation from Grant, as Kel logg of Louisiana did, have given up their position and Governor Cooke and the rest of the Democratic State officers have been inaugurated, and peace and (piiet reigns supreme in the “Lone Star” Stale.

The Sacramento I nion of January 27th says: “As it seems almo*t cer tain that a running race will be made between Thad Stevens, the California champion, atxl some horse of the sta ble of Homewood A Johnson, ot \\ est- tield, New York, it is to be hoped that the Sacramento horsemen will make a brave effort to have the contest take place over the Union Park course in this city. It is the only course in the State over which a fine horse can do himself justice.” Mrs. Annette Hazard writes from Waverly, Morgan county, Illinois, de siring information concerning her brother, David S. Agard, who she says was in Napa City, Cal., as late as 1858, and was afterwards reported to have died at some place in Oregon.
