Si: have received from a prominent officer of the Grand Army of the Republic- a commu nication in reply to an article in oar issue of Wednesday, informing us that Colonel W. T. I'oibes is not a member of the Grand Army of the Republic, and that, oven if ho were, mi ell membership would not oa any conside ration secure him the support of that organi zation in the event of his being in fault in the management of his pension agoncy. The Grand Army of the Republio, our informant says, is strictly a charitable and not in any HenBe a political organization. We make this explanation very willingly, but we insist npon our main point, that a total reform in the whole business of the Pension Bureau is noedod, and that bo far as Colonel Forbes is concerned, enough evidence of a condemna tory character has been elicited to necessitate a thorough investigation into the affairs of his office. Such an investigation is needed for the complete exoneration of Colonel Forbes if he is not in fault, as well as for his removal and punishment if the charges against him can be shown to bo true. The special officers of the Treasury Department, upon whose report our comments of Wednesday were based, obtained a mass of very precise and circumstantial evidence, that if true in all particulars cannot be allowed to pass into oblivion without making the officials of the Treasury Department and all others who may aid in hushing the matter up participants in the offenses charged upon Colonel Forbes. On his part Colonel Forbes contends that he has been victimized by one of the employes of his office, and if he can set aside the evi dence produced against Mm and show him self to be blameless, we will be very well pleased to make a note of the fact. In the meantime we await, with some impatience, a full report of the case from the authorities at Washington which will give all sides. If this report shall show any evidence of "white washing," we shall have no hesitation whut ever in expressing our opinion in plain terms, while we shall be very much pleased if it demonstrates the entire blanielessness of Colonel Forbes. A There appears to be no doubt whatever about one thing, however, and that is that the pensioners were compelled to submit to heavy discounts and charges of various kinds that greatly diminished the meagre amounts that the Government undertakes to pay them, and whether Colonel Forbes or his chief clerk were to blame in the matter, the whole case is a forcible illustration of the great evils of the present system of paying pensions, and of the necessity for an entire change in the whole business. If pensioners were paid monthly they would not be obliged to discount their claims, and if the business of the Pen sion Bureau was conducted as it should be, they would not be obliged to pay fees or taxes of any kind, but would receive without diminution every dollar and cent that the Government undertakes to pay. Such ir regularities as those charged upon Colonel Forbes are the natural results of a pernicious system that is devised and conducted, not in the interests of the Government or the pen sioners, but for the purpose of providing fat oflices for hungry politicians. It is be cause the agencies of tho Tension Bureau are mainly, if not en tirely, filled by politicians of more or less influence, and because in one way or another their emoluments aro greater than they should be, that it is so difficult to bring about a reform. If it were a question of re ducing the perquisites of tho pensioners, there would be no difficulty whatever in find ing plenty of Congressmen anxious to show thfcir zeal for the promotion of economy, but as it happens that professional politicians are the ones interested ia maintaining the exist ing evils, Congress finds itself too much en grossed with other matters to pay any atten tion to the subject. The only way in which a reform can be brought about is by a strong pressuro of publio opinion, and we propose to discuss the matter in a very pointed style until something is done to remedy the eviLs complained of. THE HALL OF THE HOUSE OF P.EPJIESENTATIVES. The subjeot of ventilation was pretty thor oughly ventilated in Congress on Thursday. A great deal of money has been expended to make the hall of the House of Representatives one of the most unhealthy and uncomfort able rooms in the world. The whole design of the building is radically defective, oa account of the fundamental error involved in the attempt to provide accommodations for a large audienoe. Mr. Garfield justly com plained that "the members were being sacri ficed to the galleries, as there were not twenty members whose voioes were suffi ciently strong to make themselves heard in the galleries for three-quarters of an hour; and thus the Ilouse was deprived of tho wis dom and raluable suggestions of some of its brightest and best minds." Stentorian lungs Beem to be an indispensable requisite for Con gressional orators, and influence on the floor is to be measured rather by the strength of the voices of the speakers than the vigor of their intellects. No benefit is derived by the bulk of the American people from the extension of gallery accommodations. The great publio are satisfied with the published proceedings, and if facilities are afforded to tho reporters to jx ... ...m tff s've a fttiMul record gf the action of their representatives, it is a matter of profound indifference whether the loafers and lobbyists of Washington have good Beats in the galleries or not. As a matter of choice, indeed, it is desirable that the Senators should not be surrounded by large crowds, for their freedom of action and expression is sometimes inju riously affected by the local influences, and they are tempted to talk and vote in the inte rest of their auditors rather than in the inte rest of thoir distant constituents. Legislation would probably be decidedly improved by a material diminution in the size of the galle ries and an enforced absence of the audiences which are now assembled in them. Another defect of the hall is said to be an arrange ment of the skylight which results, in even ing sessions, in a rapid roasting of the soalps and skulls of tho members, so that in this particular, at least, a serious personal incon venience appears to be involved in the publio services rendered to the nation by the M. C.'s. Another complaint is that the hall is fre quently filled with the fumes of tobacco, aud one member alleges that he does not know a more appropriate place for a smoke-house. But perhaps the most distressing grievance is that announced by the distinguished member from Tennsyivania, Mr. Covode, who stated that, while all parts of tho hall were badly ventilated, "experiments which he had tried had demonstrated that the foulest air in tho House was that immediately around where he stood." We are told that his cruel associates, instead of manifesting sympathy for his distress, received his statement with roars of laughter, but as the joint resolution authorizing experiments to improve the ven tilation of tho hall was subsequently odopted, we hope he will speedily be relieved, and meanwhile, if Congress should also resolve to diminish the size of the galleries and arrange the Houso in the manner best calculated to advanoe the interests of the whole nation, instead of consulting the convenience of the residents of Washington and the visiters to that city, that change would also meet general approval. THE FOLLY OF NAPOLEON. The folly of the Emperor in insisting upon an appeal to the people of France is becoming more and more manifest. If Napoleon had been content to grant liberal concessions to the Chambers and the people, he would have strengthened his position materially; but when he" comes before the people and de mands from them an unqualified endorsement of his whole policy, as the price of tho privi lege of endorsing his concessions, he but gives the irreconcilable element such an opportunity as it seeks so eagerly and so heartily embraces. Although the pronuncia mentos of both the Emperor and his ministers declared emphatically that the question of the empire could not be dragged into the canvass, the people were invited to assemble and discuss the plebiscite; but, at the same time, they were told in plain terms that the only result of such discussion that would be agreeable to the Emperor would be a unani mous determination to vote "yes," and that a negative vote or the neglect to vote at all would be regarded as a declaration of enmity to the whole imperial regime. The people, especially those of Paris, have not been backward about engaging in the public discussions which were invited, aud the re ports of the proceedings at their meetings which come to us by the cable show that all France is again in an uproar. The hostility to the empire which Ollivier crushed out for the time by consigning Rochofort to prison has been fairly aroused again, and is mani fested by marked disorder at the meetings in all parts of France, and especially in the capi tal, by cries of " Vive la Hepubliquef" and the singing of the "Marseillaise." But there is a promise of an even more serious demon stration against the empire. Many of those meetings have declared with great unanimity in favor of voting "no" on the plebiscite, or of abstaining from voting altogether, fully con scious of the fact that by so doing they will be pronouncing not against the liberal re forms which the Emperor has inaugurated, but against the empire itself. Present ap pearances indicate that the negative and silent vote will be very large, much larger than the Government had any cause to appre hend at the outset. It is possible that the crisis will pass without subjecting the pre sent regime to any serious shock, but if the opposite result should ensue, it will not be a matter of surprise. The British Farliament is now agitating itself over the question whether a man shall be allowed to marry his deceased wife's sister. The English law forbids such marriages, but for what reason no one has been able to account in a satisfactory manner. The question of the necessity and propriety of the law has frequently been raised, and efforts have been made to have it abolished. A bill is now before Parliament for this purpose, which, of course, meets with a determined opposition from certain members who ap pears to think that because the prohibition has been the law from time immemorial, it therefore must be based upon some substantial reasons. The probabilities are, however, that, even if the law is not repealed at the present session of Parliament, it will be before long, to the consternation of sound Churchmen and staunch tories, who seem to consider it one of the bulwarks of the Church and State. The world will probably wag much in its usual way, even if a man is allowed to marry his deceased wife's sister in England as he is in other civilized countries, and those who look for a darkening of the heavens and the inauguration of the grand finality when Parliament wipes this queer old regulation from the statute books will be doomed to disappointment, and will disoover that worse things might happen to England and the world. 8ttk Banks in Pennsylvania. Although nearly every bank of Unite In the country accepted the pro vlHtnnn of the act of Congress at an early date, and writ luio operation uwlur the National bant lug t JSU'II') '.Uuv still a few Oauks In this Statu which are operating nndfir the free banking law, and have no conncctloa with the national system. The report of the Auditor-General upon their operations during the year 18C9 has Just boon published, and from It we select several facts of Interest, which show, however, that at present these Institutions do not amount to much. The banks which still have some of their Dotes under the State law in circula tion are but twelve In number, and their outstand ing circulation on the 1st of January last amounted to but 170,490, the whole amount of their Issue h.vmg been 13,919,008, of which $3,140,172 has been returned and burned. During 186tf, tho Audltor-Ucnorat's oiflce was put to no expense In connection with tho affairs of these banks, and Us receipts from them were likewise nothing. On November 80, 186!), there was on hand a balance of 12, 074-70 to the creditor the contingent fund of the banking department. PcnnKflvania Ilemn, Rich iron ore has been discovered in Lycoin lnjr county. It is understood that thirty thousand tons of railroad Iron will be forwarded this season from JoliHHtown via Erie to Duluth, to be need in the construction ot the Northern Pacific Railroad. Tho emiprnnt trade on the Pennnylvanla Railroad is on tlio increase. Heavy trains pass over the road daily. The Wilkesbarre Ilecord states that parties who have been lying iu tbo river with rafts loaded with potatoes, waiting for such au abatement of tho waters as would allow them to go on tliuir way, are discouraged and are selling out their cargoes at !28 ceuts a buiuel. A carrier pigeon was carried from Coualio hotken by the down Pottstown accommodation train, the !iod Inst., to Penncoyd Station, scveu miles distant, and made the return llight in seventeen iu'mutca. Another pigeon carried by the same truln tho day previous to tho Falls, ten miles away, flew back to Conshohockun in twenty minutes. A most distressing accident occurred in PMllipsburg on Wednesday morning, by which a little teirl named Maugie Tine, in the employ of the litv. C. J. O'Keilly, at tlie parsonage ot St. Philip's and St. James' Church, lost her life by being burnt to death. She had used benzine in kindling a fire, when tho can exploded and set her clothes on fire, burning her so severely as to cause her death. The little sufferer lin gered a few hours in tho most intense agony. Tho Pittsburg and Connellsville Railroad is being pushed forward rapidly, with every pros pect of being completed within a year. Con necting lines, opening up a new and direct route from Chicago to tho seaboard, are already projected. A connecting road is also in prospect to lead from Pittsburg to Erie. Negotiations are said to be on foot for commencing work on the latter at an early day, and there is reason to believe itl will be successfully prosecuted. Con cerning tho former the Cumberland Transcript says: "Purveys are being made through Ohio, by way of Canton, for a route direct to Chicago, in connection with the Pittsburg and Connells ville Railroad. This will give the most direct line in the country from Chicago to the sea board; tho route frori that citv to Washington through Cumberland being the shortest that can possibly be built between the two points."
