TUK PA YMEN1 OF PENSIONS.
We Lave frequently discussed tho necessity
lhat exists for an entire change in the system
of paying pensions, and exposed the grieyous
wrongs that are done to the pensioners by the
present arrangement for doling out to them
the pittance allowed by the Government, and
the newspapers throughout the oountry hare,
almost without exception, united in calling
for a radical reform. Various measures, and
some of them good ones, hare been intro
duced in Congress, that if enacted would do
away with the evils complained of, and not
only secure to the pensioners tho
prompt payment of all that is due them,
but would abolish the whole horde of
greedy agents and other hangers-on who
not only draw fat salaries from the
treasury, but who grow rioh on the fees and
perquisites that they oontrive to extraot from
the pensioners. Congress, however, has been
too busy with other matters, and the influ
ence of the PeBBion Bureau attaches has
been too great to allow any such measure as
this, that only involves a question of jus
tica to a poor and politically unimportant
class of persons, to engage the attention of
our lawmakers. The consequence is that the
whole subject has fallen into negleot, and
there seems to be evry probability that
nothing whatever will be done to put a stop
to the present abominable system. The pen
sioners are mostly poverty-stricken men
and women, and many of them are aged or
maimed, and consequently unfitted for most
of the active, money-making employments of
life. The amounts paid them by the Govern
ment are exceedingly small, and as they are
in recognition of suoh services as no pecu
niary recompense can adequately repay, the
country has a right to demand that they
shall reoeive every cent the law allows them,
without being obliged to submit to the extor
tions of the office-holders who act as the
agents of the Government.
That such extortions are made is notorious,
and a case has been made public within a few
days that, if all its features are as repre
sented, demonstrates in a very decided man
ner the evils of the present system of pension
agencies, and that show how the agents man
age to grow rich at the expense of those who
are, in a measure, dependent upon them for
the pitiful sums that the Government under
takes to pay them. Grave acousations have
been made against Colonel W. T. Forbes, one
of the pension agents of this city, and the
facts already elicited are such as demand that
a strict investigation of all the affairs of his
office shall be made, and if he can be conclu
sively shown to be in fault that he shall be
punished according to his deserts. It is al
leged that Colonel Forbes has been in the
habit of making advances to pensioners, and
charging them extortionately for the accom
modation, and that the funds of the Govern
ment havebeenusedforthis purpose, while the
profits have gone into the pockets of the
agent. It is asserted that frequent representa
tions were made to the bureau at Washington,
but no attention whatever was paid to them
until a few days a go, when A. B. Newoomb
and Charles A. Sears, operatives in the secret
service division of the Treasury Department,
were detailed to make an investigation, under
the direction of the chief of the division,
II. C. Whiteley. These officers made a report
based upon the statements and affidavits of
pensioners and of the former chief clerk in the
office of Colonel Forbes, and they presented a
a mass of evidence that should reoeive the
serious attention of the Treasury Department.
Notwithstanding this report Colonel Forbes
is still retained in his position, and it is
asserted there is a decided effort being
made to hush the matter up on account of
the political relations of the accused with
certain Congressmen and his connection with
the Grand Army of the Republic. If that
organization attempts to use its infiuenoe to
shield such of its members as may be guilty
of malfeasance in office, it will speedly fall
into contempt, and it will be abandoned by
all its decent members. This affair of Colonel
Forbes demands a full and complete investi
gation. The charges against him are serious,
and they should either be proved or disproved
emphatically. On no consideration whatever
should any attempt at whitewashing be per
mitted, but the public should know all the
ins and outs of the case, and exactly what are
the grounds for the charges that have been
luado.
Whether Colonel Forbes is in fault or not,
(his whole affair is a forcible illustration of
the evils that attend the present system of
management of the Pension Bureau, and it
will be useless to expeot any real reform
until a complete and radical change in the
whole method of paying pensions is made,
and such checkfe upon the agents established
as will give the pensioners a reasonable gua
rantee that they will not be plundered. If
there are enough honest men in Congress, a
change will be brought about speedily iu
spite of the political influence of the pension
agents, their backers, and the Grand Army
of the Republics; and if Congress does
not move in the matter, the conclusion will
inevitably be that the members care more for
good-will of the Pension Bureau attaches and
their friends than they do for that of their
constituents. As for the Grand Army of the
Jtepublie, such action as has been charged
against it is in the highest degree discredit
aMo. It la composed, of officers anil ex-oflicer3
of the army and navy, who might be supposed
to have some feelings of regard for suoh a
class as the pensioners of the Government;
bnt when it gives its support and influence to
those who seek to accumulate riches by prey
ing upon the necessities of the poor and
needy, it certainly does not carry out the
objects of its organization, and the sooner it
disbands the better it will be for the reputa
tion of its members.
THE ONEIDA SUFFERERS.
The latest rumor with regard to the Oneida
disaster is that, aocording to the statement of
a naval offioer who has just arrived at Wash
ington from Yokohama, Captain Eyre would
have stopped his vessel after the collision,
but for the entreties of Lady Temple, wife of
the British Minister, who feared shipwreck.
Even if true this would not mitigate the guilt
of Eyre one particle, but unfortunately for
even this weak plea in behalf of the brutal
Englishman, there is not one word in all the
testimony that will in the slightest degree
implicate Lady Temple in the transaction, and
the whole blame for the loss of so many pre
cious lives must still rest upon the shoulders
of the British commander. At the court of
inquiry held at Yokohama every particle of
testimony that could possibly favor Captain
Eyre was brought forward, and not one word
said about any interference whatever on the
part of Lady Temple or any of the passengers.
In fact, the discipline on board of the Bombay
seems to- have been perfect. Captain Eyre
was in command of the deok, with all his
officers at their proper posts, and he alone was
responsible for all the movements of his ship,
or all that was done or left undone. The
whole secret of this lamentable affair is that
Eyre was simply carrying out the usual polioy
of British steamship captains, in not stopping
for anything, and when he cut into the
Oneida he preferred to run on and take the
chances that the injured vessel would never
more be heard of, and himself and his owners
be spared a lawsuit that would detain him in
port beyond his appointed time, and perhaps
entail upon him a heavy bill of damages.
After all that can be said in favor of this
brute, the fact remains that he did run away
from those drowning men, leaving them to
their fate with as little compunction as he
would a lot of dumb beasts. Even the English
papers that were disposed to extenuate Eyre's
conduct, probably for the reason that a
Yankee frigate was the sufferer, have been
compelled to take this view of the case and to
unite in the universal verdict of condemna
tion. Captain Williams, of the Oneida, was a gal
lant and skilful offioer, who served with dis
tinction during the entire war for the sup
pression of the Rebellion, and he had claims
upon the kindly regards of his fellow-oountry-men
that should not be forgotten now. It
appears that Captain Williams leaves three
children, between the ages of five and twelve,
who were entirely dependent upon his pay as
an officer for support, and who by his sudden
death are left without the means of livelihood.
This is certainly a case that appeals in the
strongest manner to the sympathies of the
patriotio people of the country; and there
ought to be no difficulty in raising a sum of
money that will place these orphans in a posi
tion of independence and secure their proper
education. In Boston efforts are being made
to collect a fund for the children of Captain
Williams, which will be placed in the hands
of K. B. Forbes, Esq. This gentleman is so
well known and so highly esteemed that his
name is an ample guarantee that the money
will be applied in the most judicious manner
to the object for which it is intended, and we
hope that a handsome amount will be promptly
raised as a testimonial of the national sympa
thy with these children in their bereavement.
Edward Shippen, Esq., No. 532 Walnut street,
will receive and transmit to Mr. Forbes suoh
contributions as Philadelphians may be dis
posed to give, and as the smallest sums will
not be refused, it should not be a difficult
thing for Philadelphia to add such an amount
to this fund as will be creditable to the
liberality of our citizens.
Ocb Democratic contemporary, the Age,
in commenting upon the celebration yester
day complains that "the negro is now as
little as ever the chosen associate, social or
political, of the white man." The idea is be
ginning to dawn upon the editors of that
journal that in spite of the repeated predic
tions of their political associates intermar
riages between the races will not necessarily
be increased in frequency by the fifteenth
amendment, and they are deeply disgusted
by the now proof of the fallibility of the
Democratic prophets. The Age also com
plains that the "radical leaders of the city
shrunk from publio fraternization with their
colored brethren." We Bee no evidenoe of
the truth of this charge, for, as far as we can
judge from the proceedings, white Republi
cans participated in them, in person or by
letter, as fully and freely as the proprieties of
the occasion warranted. But what does the
Age want? If it will be good enough
to define the strict line of duty
for the partisans it opposes so resolutely they
will be better able to obey its sagacious coun
sels. Heretofore it has blamed them for
with doiDg too much for the negroes. It
has condemned them for abolishing slavery
and for ratifying the fifteenth amendment.
Now it tukesopposite ground, und pretends to
Le virtuously indiguaut at the absence of a
f-l'irit of fraternization and tho want of a cor
dial "fusion" between blauk aad whito Re
publicans. The Age is so diflioult to please
that we hardly know what to advise, and it is
doubtful whether any thiug will satisfy it short
of the support of the Democratic ticket at
the coming eloction by the whole body of
colored voters.
Now that the fifteenth amendment is not
only ratified bub duly celebrated, and the
system of government, so far as it , affected
races, has been radically changed, The duty
will become more pressing than ever to purify
the adrainifttratinn of publio affairs, and -to
govern cities, States, and the Union wisely
and wU. tiinoe men need quarrel no mora
over fundamental changes of the Constitu
tion, they can devote increased attention to
the primary duty of selecting honest and ca
pable officials and representatives. Toters
should bend their best energies to the hercu
lean task of reforming their partisan organi
zations and of condemning to deserved ob
scurity the corrupt race of offioe-hunters who
are perpetually devising schemes to plunder
the publio.
The North eun Pacific Railroad Com
pant is pushing its work with energy, and in
spite of the opposition of our estimable con
temporary at the corner of Sixth and Chesnut,
the probabilities are that before the summer
is over a large section of the road will be
built and in operation. As will be seen by refer
ence to an advertisement in another column,
the company will reoeive sealed proposals for
grading, masonry, bridging, and ballasting
of the portion of the road extending from
the Dalles of the St. Louis river to the Red
river, a distance of about 230 miles. The
advertisement gives all necessary information
about the character of the work to be per
formed and the proper method of making
application. This road will go through
a magnificent country, which it will
open up to civilization, and it is gratifying to
see this indication that the work of construc
tion is actually about to be commenced. The
men who are at the head of this great enter
prise are so well known for their financial
ability that their names are guarantees that
the road will be built in a first-class manner
and with as much rapidity as is consistent
with prudence, and ere long, under their
management, there will be another iron band
uniting the Atlantio to the Pacific
The shameless manner in which Stokes, the
misrepresentative of the Eighth Legislative
district, violated the confidence reposed in him
by his constituents last winter, has rendered his
defeat next October a certainty. W. L. Mar
shall, Esq., has beoonte a formidable candi
date for the Republican nomination, and he
is enlisting the support of all the best and
most substantial citizens of the district, who
have good cause to repose implicit confidence
in his honesty and ability. There are other
gentlemen in the district of approved capa
city and integrity who would fill the position
acceptably, some one of whom is certain to
receive the nomination, even if it should not
be secured by Mr. Marshall. '
