Finally, within the pas few weeks, wo have had tho adoption o the ballot in the place of the immemoria custom of viva voce voting, and now tin cable, brings tifo startling iutelligooc that, tired ot waiting for tho ass?nt o ?the '. House of Lords to the army bill Mr. Gladstone bas 'procured tbe aboil tion of the system of purchasing ??m missions in the army by an. exeroisp c tho royal prerogative. Almost from th time that England began to have a stand ing army the purchase system has es isted.. By means of that system th anray boa been made and kept an ariete eratic ri institution, officered alrnoi oxelnslvoly by tho 80.1,3 of tho nobility and the profession of arms has cou tinued to bo an arletocratio profession It is'notstrange that tho spirit of th nineteenth century reform,, whioh ho successively attacked the church, th landed interest, the universities and th bar, and whioh has placed the,ballot i; . tho uaudd of tho English working rn? who is a voter, should have assailed th ?couaeoratod abuses of the horse guard and the war office! It was obvious th? the purchase systom must go, nlthoug in abolishing it another blow would ti necessarily struck at the security of yea od 'property. But tho manner of th chango is moro startling than thc fact i self. It in oven a graver and moro sign ?cant innovation upon tho cstaulishc order of things than substituting in th army the system of promotion according to merit for that of promotion by pur? chase. '?rtfftV latter ret?rffr optilAjaose been etfeoied without! Any ju?p|i?tuE? from tho -ft)rma of the - Cpus tit utlon unc? the customary course o?fegittlati?a? Byk the course whioh Mr. Gladstone bas adopted is tlio most revolutionary mea? sure takeu siuoo the House of Lords was forced to suspeud its sittings ahd forego all participation in the work,of legisla? tion iu the time of tho commonwealth. It was. proposed to make certain reforms in the .army, the .abolition of the pur? chase system iuoluded, by Act of Parlia? ment; A bill was introduced for the pur? pose by the ministry, and albeit in ft mutilated and ragged condition, it was passed by the House of Commons. Not even tho amendments tanked o? by the Obmmous could reconcile the Peers, however, to thu leveling meoBiiro, and after considerable debate tho bill WOB thrown out. Mr. Gladstone then an? nounced tho intention to advise tho Queen to abolish ibo pa robase system by withdrawing tho royal warrant by which (he system was originally legalized-in other words, to do without Parliament that which he had sought unsuccessfully to have done by Parliament, and in spite of the House of Lords what the House of Lords ha>i expressly refused to sanc? tion. This announcement by Mr. Glad? stone was received by his liberal sup? porters iu tho House of Commons, we are told, with "Vuhemeut cheering, " in the House of Lords iu silence. ,?y i? When tbe bill for the disestablisbmorK' of tho Hish Cburch passed, it wus well known that it was contrary to the settled convictions of a majority of tho upper bouse, and its passage was A concession i by their lordships to the revolutionary spirit which threatened, in the event of their refusal, to abolish the privileges of their lordships' house. Such menaces were freely uttered at tho time, found expression in some of the leading jour? nals, and something very like thees in effect fell from Mr. Gladstone's lips. The'preseufc attitude of tbe premises looks very much like a step in this direc? tion. In any event, it oan not' fail tu greatly weaken the influence and to im? pair, if it does not destroy, the^prestige ot the House of Lords* , . ? . ' Ex-Land Commissioner Lo&lie is dis? satisfied with Senator Foster's atiswors to bis inquiries, relative to fraud iu tho Land Commission. The following is the substance of what tho Seuutur lins to say on .the subject: *'I think tbo testimony already taken is insufficient to show th fit you have neted 'dishonestly' in the disohurge o? your duties, or that'you have made 'margins or other moneys outside your, salary as Land Commissioner. ' But the testimony equally oouvinceo me that you made un improper selection of agents. There can be no doubt that the State has been defrauded through these agents and land dealers. It does not appear, that you were a party to tbeso lraudnleut transactions; but you, at least, failed to enter your protest, aud expose them. On the contrary, you approved many of them. You will hardly deny that a pro? per discharge of your official duty would havo prevented many, if not all, the frauds which were perpetrated by ugeuts and venders of land upon tbe State. The ooiicliision follow* inevitably that having permitted a wrong, which you could have prevented, involves you in equal moralguilt with tbe agents aud land venders." NKW ORLEANS GOING AHEAD.-We are pleased to note tbut tho great South? ern emporinm, Near Orleans, has bridged the disasters by war and tbo elements, und is again ou tho high road to pros? perity.

But we learn through the Times, of that oity, tbat the improvements-public and private build? ings-now in progress are estimated to cost' $2,385,OOO.

A BAD PLAOB FOU CAHPBT-BAGOBBS. Kingstree, a station un the North-eastern Railroad, between Florence and Charles? ton, is nota healthy place for "carpet? baggers." A few days ago a colored oouservative went into one of the oars, in wbioh was seated a promiuuut Radioul of the genus "carpet-bagger," and, shaking a bofro-wbip whioh he held iu h<s baud repeatedly over his head, in a threatening manner, cursed, abused and defied him, informing him at tbe sum? time that he owed him a bar-room bill f?r a oousiderable amouut.

As there has been co?aiderabh? discus? sion with reference to tho practicability of" narrow? gapgo railroads, we pabli?h the following interesting communication off thevsubjeojfcjiiaddjeseed to to? Secreta? rjiof ihe NorJ??rn Pacific Bailroad: Tho subjeot of railways with gangos narrower than tho present standard has already, in this country, become of very great importance, and many professional and amateur engineers have rushed into priut with statistics to show the immense superiority of such roads in economy of construction and actual carrying capaci? ty. It bas been reserved for the Denver and Rio Grande Railway to demonstrate, practically, how such economy is effected, and in what manner it is proposed, and to make their road (constructed on tie three-foot gauge) as sufficient, in point of carrying oapaoity, as roads of stan? dard gauges, as at present conducted. While tho discussion has proceeded in papers, magazines and pamphlets, the builders of the Denver aud Rio Grande line have been steadily at work, until now, the first eighty miles of the line is graded, bridged and tied, rolling stock completed, and nothing but the perverse delays in the arrival of the iron hinders the completion of the road and its open? ing for traffic. Tho construction and capacity of this rolling stock alone fur? nish tho solution of those two questions of economy and oapaoity, and the statis? tics below given will prove of very great interest to every one who knows what a railway is. Tho engines adopted for this gaug* aro of the samo patterns as tho standard engines iu uso on the Pennsyl? vania Railroad, with but slight modifica? tions, sud were adopted niter a careful comparison of those in uso on both foreign and home roads. The passenger engiues have four' driving-wheels, of tbirty-Bix inches diameter, and one pair of leading wheels; cylinders, 9x1 (j inches; weight on drivers, with water io the boilers/20,000 pounds; total weight, 25,000 pounds. A four-wheeled tender accompanies it, weighing 15,000 pounds empty. Freight engines have six driv? ing whools, thirty-six inches in diameter, with one puir of loading wheels; cylin? ders, 10x16 inohos; weight on drivers, 25,000 pounds, and a total weight ol 30,000 pounds. Tender weigha 15.0U? pounds empty. In the construction of passenger cara, there has been, perhaps, too much defe? rence paid to prejudices in favor of ex> istibgfpatterna to obtain the full benditi of the narrow gauge system. These can have the following dimensions: Length, thirty-five feet; length, including plat? forms, forty feat; height inside to centre of dome, seven feet nine inches; diame? ter of wheel, twenty-four inches; height of floor beams above rail, twenty-seven inches; capacity, thirty-five paaseugers. TUBBO oars are handsomely finished, ic the style of the Pullman car, and give the same seating room UH tho cars of thc Pennsylvania Road. They aro tho? roughly ventilated and comfortable, and are eight-wheeled, with an arrangemeul of springs which makes them very onay on truck. Their weight ia 16,000 pounds, Freight oars are mudo of present pat terns, but oro four-wheeled. Thoj weigh but*4,000 pounds, while having ? oapaoity of 10,000 pounds. This is but a nhort uud imperfect dc scriptum of this rolling stock, bntis ne pessary to a ready comprehension of TC suits given below-results based or actual comparison of actual power o engiues and actuul weights of rolling stuck on tho three feet and four fee eight and a half inch ganges, respect ivoly. We have taken tho Fouusylvaui? Railroad for purposes of this illustration because it ia ably managed und near a hand. Tho Standard passe tiger en gi nt in usu on that road has a weight m drivers of 4.0,000 pounds, cr just doubl? tho capucity of the engine on tho Den vcr and Rio Garande, but has a tots weight, including tender, of 105,001 pouuds, or fifty-two and n half tons Their usual local passenger fruin cnn sists of four passenger oars, Beatioj fifty-three passengers each, and weigh tug euch 40,000 pouhdt*, or twenty toiis eighty tons; ono baggage car, fourteoi tons; ono engine and tender, fifty-1wi and a half bina-total, 146,'^ torm. Thi train will accommodate 212 passengers if full. To carry tho same number o passengers ou tho three-feet gauge, wi require six passenger cars, seating encl thirty-five passengers, and euch weigh ing eight ton.s-r-forty-cight tons; om baggage car, four tons; ono engine am "tender, twenty tons-total weight, so venty-two tons, or less than oue-hulf tin total weight of the train on tho staudur? guugo. Then, since the smaller engiui huB oue-lmlf tho power of tho larger, i follows that it can reudily take its loni wherever the larger engiue eau go, aud ou the authority of W. Baird ? Co. who, from tboir long experience, ma; certainly bo considered trustworthy ii such matters, can tuko it nt a speed o thirty-six miles per hour as readily a tho other oau run forty miles per hour But follow this out in freight traffic whioh is the paying trafila of nuy road aud sue tho resnlt: The capacity of th freight ougino on three-feet guugo is ou uverage low grades, 405 lons; dedno cost of engine aud tender, twenty-tw> uud a half tons; leaving for load, 892J? tous; cars woigh two tons to carry fiv tous-of this load, tho 2-7 would b ours, or, say, 103 tons-leaving for pay mg -freights, 270 tone. On staudar g?tiges, freight engines having doubl the weight ou drivers; will bav? doubl tho oapaoity, or 810 tons; deduct engin and tender, ?ixty tous-looviug for load 750 tons. Cars weigh ten tons and curr ten tons. Then of load, oue-hulf wt! bo weight of eura, 375 tous-leaving fd paying freight, 375 tons. This shows ap actual capacity for th narrow-gauged freight cugiues of hoar! three-fourth* that of an eugitjo of mot (bun two uud a half times its weight But we have supposed, m this case, tiwi oars ou both gauges uro always filled which, unfortunately, is far from bein tho case, v Statistics show that on the s^ndard ganges moro than four tons of ?^?'.'.?t non-paying-JMUght aro apnually carried over these ?Cads to ea oh, tou ol pay?rig freight. SW othdy worfls, the average amount ot freight carried in eaoh car is but nne?$buith of its capacity. Allowing that thia ?3?80rop'ttiicy may ex? tend tb the throe-reeVghuge nlso, which, from the smaller size of cars, can scarce? ly be expected, and this is the result: Oars weigh two tons ?nd bu ve capacity of five tons; then in load, ns above, of 882 toort there will be weight of oars, 234 tons; leaving weight of paying freight, 146 tous. ' Four eight and a half gauge-in load, as above, of 750 tons; weight of cars, 600 tons; weight of freight, 15(T tons, or only four tons more than on the narrow gauge This, then, is the praotical result of the narrow gauge theory, and from this follow, naturally, ali ibo. principles of economy in construction and operation, cheap freights, lurgo dividends, its adaptability to other than mountainous cou ii trios, the feasibility of doubling thc miles of our railway ByBtems at no more than former outlay, the easy develop? ment of sparsely settled but valuable distriots, lied all tho long train of advan? tages which will accrue to the stock? holders of such paying roads us well as to the people along their routes. B. A RAIN OP Fitoas IN ARIZONA-STORY OF AN EYE-WITNESS.-Tho phenomenon, familiarly known as tho "rain of frogs," bas been ridiculed and contradicted by certain soientists, nevertheless there is abundant proof to show that it has oc? curred, aud probably will again. In 1864, the writar, iu company with sotno fifty other travelers, had personal expe? rience of thc fact. Wc were in Arizoun, not less thnu twenty milos from any stream, poud or water. The day was ex? tremely sultry, aud we bad halted to lot tho animals graze and rest for au hour or two. Not a li vi DR thing besides our? selves sud horsed was in sight, and 'cer? tainly no frogs wero bopping over the rich, tufted gramma-grass, which cover? ed tho ground for miles iu evory direc4 tion. Suddenly a deoHO, black cloud began to discharge a copious ruin upon our unsheltered beads. Tbo drops were very largo and the water quite warm. Nearly every person woro a broad-brim mod felt bat, which proved a groat pro? tection against tho rain ns weil na against tbe sun. Our attention wo*? soon arrest? ed hy tho pelting of something which struck our bata like bail, but which proved to bo frogs, and in loss than two minutes tho grass was fairly alive with those creatures. Soveral of tho party took souio from their hat-rims. Our un? expected visitors wore all of ono sizo, about a quarter of an inch long from nope to rump, very lively, and, appa? rently, in tbe best condition. Their fall bad boen broken by tho springy, resili? ent nature of the-grass. It is not proba? ble that soveral hundred thousand, per? haps millions, of frogs bad suddenly been hatched into life in tho ground by tho rain, or, if they bad, that iu their in? fantile glee they jumped flve feet eleven .inches, merely to show how tbe game of leap-frog should bo played. Nor bad they any such caudel appendages as aro generally, attached to juvenile rana. They carno from above, iii company with tbe rain, and this faot waa made clear by holding out tho hand and seeing them fall upon it, as well as by finding them on our hat rims. [Philadelphia North American. "PAPER OAR WHEELS.-Mr. Bench, of tho firm of D. O. -Wheeler & Co., straw paper makers, of Montclair, is now iu Vermont fer the purpose of witnessing a practical trial of tho application to railroad travel of Allen's patent paper car wheels. The paper for this test was manufactured at Moutolair; but this wheel has already been sufficiently tested npon a Pullman palace oar to warrarnt its success. A set of wheels have al? ready beeu run over 160,000 miles, while praclico baa demonstrated that irou wheels clo not average over 60,000 miles. There is no danger of tho break? age of the compressed paper wheel, aud one will wear out several thick steel tires. Mr. Pullman bas already countermanded all II?H orders for irou wheels, and will hereafter uso ouly paper, which, it is thought, will, in a few years, entirely supersede tho metal wheels. THE NEW BLUE LAW.-Tho Connecti? cut Senate bas passed a bill which ren? ders null aud void all business dealings for liquors-enables tho purchaser, even of a glass of whiskey, to recover back tho ten cents ho pays for it; declares null and void all sales, transfers, con? tracts, quit claim?, mortgages, attach? ments and liens made in consideration (part or whole) of the salo of any apirit iious liquor; makes null and void all leases of promises if liquor is sold on thom; punishes by a fine of $100 or a month in jail, or both, tho sale of liquor to any minor nuder eighteen years of ago; makes tbo person who sells re? sponsible for all damages done by dr liken men, and permits uuy tax-payer to sue such seller whenever the driuker abuses his family. Other striugent provisions follow. Another Indian war seems imminent in the North-west. Tho last steamer' from the Upper Missouri reporta that Fort Berthold was attacked by tho Sioux on the 12th.

The mail station between Fort Stevenson and Fort Totten was attacked a few days fiiuce, nut], despite tho pre? sence of u-military escort, the bonan and mail bags woro burned. This outrage was committed by a party of Sioux who had received rations nt Fort Thompson a fow days boforo. - - -- ...

A colored: constable went down to tho camp, about fourteen asiles from Columbia, to servo tbe war? rant, wheu the men refused to give them? selves up, and their co-laborers drove the ooDBtable off and declared their comrades should not be arrested; The constable returned to Columbia when Sheriff Fra zee, armed with a bench warrant, sum? moned a posse, proceeded to the.camp, and, without serious difficulty, arrested eleven colored men and one white man. The colored prisoners were brought to, Columbia and lodged in jail;-and the white man bailed to appear for examina? tion this morning.
