that a large num

of officers have retired in this manner—Lieutenants as Majors and Colonels, and Captains and'Majors as Brigadier and Major Generals. The injustice of the arrangement is the more apparent. when it is considered that disabled volunteer officers, who do not

It is expected that the defeated candidates for Clerks, Door Keepers and "sieh," reinforced by the heavy delegation* of wrathful and disappointed ones last evening, will now make a combined assault upon the deputies' chairs in the State offices. This is their last chance, and the forlorn charge is likely to be exceeded in de-perat ion only by that of the other "six hundred."

Victor Emmanuel, King of Italy, entered Rome on the last day of the year, and after passing a single night at the Quirinal, the palace where the Cardinals elect and proclaim every newly elected Pope, withdrew" as abruptly as become. It is known that during the alarming illness of the King more than a years ago, overtures were made from Florence to reconcile him with the Pope, which were partially entertained, but resulted in no substantial change of their relations. The bull of excommunication stdl stands, and the events which have happened during the last few months are not likely to lead to its withdrawal, •he Pope is the god-father of Victor Emanuel's daughter, the Queen of Portugal, and her sister, the wife of Prince Napoleon, a Christian whose lovely charac. tor redeems the conspicuous faults of her husband, irone of the greatest favorites at the Vatican.
