"Only about two hundred per cent, interest." The pensions paid by the Government are for important services performed for the benefit of the nation services involving loss of life, loss of limb, and loss of health. The pensioners are poor, maimed, or aged sol diers, or the orphans and widows of those who fell on the field of battle. None of the pensions are for large amount, and in view of all the circumstances, those entitled to them have a right to receive without fee or tax every dollar that the Government undertakes to give. Under the peculiar system of pay ing pensions, however, now in vogue, tho pensioners not only receive thoir money at such long intervals that many of them are nnable to expend it to the best advantage, but they are obliged to pay to the agents employed to represent the Government various fees thtit dimin ish seriously the already insignificant amounts they are entitled to. It is a great shame that such a system should be permit ted to exist, but it is more skameful that the pension agents should be allowed to rob those under their care by discounting thoir claims at exorbitant rates. It is true that advancing money in this manner is expressly forbidden by the law, but it is a matter of common notoriety that it is done all over the country, and that pension agents grow rich in a manner that they never could from the legitmate emoluments of their office. So lucrative indeed have the pension agenoies become that the men holding them have been able to form a powerful combination that thus far has successfully resisted every attempt to bring about a reform. We alluded yesterday to the trial of George B. Thatcher, formerly a clerk in the office of Colonel Forbes, a pension agent of this city, as a practical illustration of the evils of which we have spoken. Thatcher has been found guilty of embezzlement and received a heavy sentence, which, in all probability, he richly deserves. The evidence adduced on the trial, however, seemed to indicate that Thatcher was made the scapegoat for the sins of his superiors; and by the admissions of Colonel Forbes himself, and the testimony of reliable witnesses, it was shown that he was in the habit of advancing money to pensioners at the rate of about two hundbed per cent, in terest. Colonel Forbes was a soldier himself, and it might be thought that he, of all men, would have felt some sympathy for such a class as the pensioners, and those who are dependent upon the bounty of the Government may well ask who will protect them if one who has himself borne arms upon the field of battle has no compunction at filling his pockets at their expense ? Whether Colonel Forbes was implicated in the particu lar transactions for which Thatcher was found guilty or not, enough has been clearly proved against him to demonstrate the fact that he in not a proper person for the position he holds, and it is disgraceful that the authori ties at Washington did not remove him long ago. The real question at issue, however, is not the retention or removal of an unworthy officer, but whether the whole system of pay ing pensions is not thoroughly rotten, and whether a thorough reorganization ought not to be effected. The subject was discussed with considerable enthusiasm in the House of Representatives .some months ago, and a bill was adopted which promised at least some protection to the pensioners. It then w ent to the Senate, and that is the last that has been heard of it. What the pensioners and the public now wish to know is whether the Senate intends to act on the bill, or w hether it is quietly to be permitted to die of neglect. Rumor says that the pension agents have great influence in the Senate, and that they have been laboring earnestly to prevent this bill from being even considered. The political or pecuniary influ ence of the pensioners is little or nothing, and unless the Senate is virtuous they will not have much chance against the "ring" of agents who have thus far managed to keep the upper hand without difficulty. If the Senators are not influenced by unworthy mo tives in preventing the passage of this bill, they can easily prove their integrity by dis cussing it publicly and recording their votes for or against it; but to smother it in commit tee will only tend to confirm the impression that there is "something rotten in Denmark." THE EXCLUSION OF Will Tl'E3fOHE. The action of the House of Representatives yesterday, in refusing to readmit Whitta more, the cadetship-peddler, despite his re election by a South Carolina constituency, will command general approval. The great necessity of American politics is the erection of barriers against corruption, and Congress would have committed a fearful error if it had condoned Whittemore's offense. It may be too true that he is a scapegoat more innocent in fact than some of those who have condemned him, but bis exclusion will nevertheless exert a good influence if it only proves that depths have at last been discovered to the pit of offi cial peculation. The very excuse offered on his behalf, that he acted in accordance with the fashion of the time, increases rather than lessens the necessity for his proscription. The all-absorbing passion . for money is rapidly undermining the virtue of the whole race of American politicians, and those who do not accept palpable or disguised bribes are becoming shining exceptions to a general rule. The alarming and constantly increasing tendency to prostitute public stations to private pur poses should be checked at all hazards, and by every means that legislative bodies or the people can devise. Its continuance will speedily make a mockery of our whole sys tem of government. This sad result, indeed, is already too plainly perceptible in the an nual proceedings at llarrisburg, for the mem bers of the State Legislature have well-nigh ceased to act in the interest of their consti tuents, and the worst of despotisms cannot be more galling, or, in the end, more injuri ous to the general welfare, than the exercise of law-making powers by bodies which draw their inspiration from packages of green backs. Even the most absolute of tyrants, if they are not downright fools, are induced by mere personal considerations to desire that the prosperity of the people whom they rule may be enhanced, but the sordid Congress man or legislator ignores all regard for the mosses, and in selling his vote or his influ ence paves the way for the destruction of everything that patriotio citizens hold sacred. Year after year votes and influence are becom ing more and more articles of merchandise, and the proverb of the English pr emier that every man has his price is rapidly gaining a strong semblance to truth in this country. The people cannot be aroused too quickly to a full sense of tho danger that must inevi tably ensue from the universal prevalence of corruption, and they cannot too soon com mence a rigid enforcement of the demand that their public servants of all grades must be above suspicion. The attention which Whittemore's case has attracted should help to make it the signal for the general reform that is so imperatively demanded. Although he may be but as one corruptionist punished to ninety-nine who still wear a brazen front, a beginning has at least been made, ami if it is vigorously followed up the National and State councils of the Republic may yet be purged of their avaricious and unworthy members. V UBLIU EXPEND1 Till KS. It appears from an acknowledgment made in the House of Representatives yesterday by Mr. Dawes, that a revision of the estimates of the present administration and its prede cessor establishes a balance in favor of the former, and that the outcry of extravagance against Grant, as contrasted with Johnson, which was made some months ago, was, therefore, not well founded. The Commit tee on Apppropriations has made a reduction on the estimates of more than thirteen mil lions of dollars, so that there is a fair prospect of a material diminution of the national expenditures. It is pro bable that Congress will be able to effect still further reductions in the appro priations recommended by the committee, and we hope it will promptly lop off nearly every unnecessary item. Nearly one hundred and fifty millions of dollars are required for the annual support of the Government, exclu sive of the sum devoted to the payment of interest on the public debt, the collection of customs, etc., under the revised programme submitted by Mr. Dawes; but if he is as fully in earnest in his efforts to promote reform as he professed to be some months since, he should be able to bring this sum down to one hundred millions. This saving would undoubtedly be effected if every section and every interest in the country were treated with the niggardly spirit that is so uniformly displayed towards Philadelphia. The House of Representatives will find immense reduc tions of the Dawes estimates an easy task if it rigidly enforces in every department the harsh rules applied to this locality. THE OLD MASTERS. The wonderful "autotypes" of the old masters that Lave lately been introduced to the Ameri can public through the agency in this city have been received by connoisseurs in all parts of the country villi the greatest enthusiasm. These copies in carbon are indestructible, and they give the actual touch of the artist and the other characteristics of the works they reproduce in a manner that is impossible by any other method. It is only by means of such duplicates as these that the works of the great masters of art can be studied in America, and the importance of the "autotypes" as aids to artistic culture will be recognized by all who are at all interested la art matters. At the agency, No. 1125 Chesnut street, a large Importation has just been received, to which we call the attention of our readers. A number of new nud important subjects are included, among which may be mentioned a splendid copy of Michel Angclo's "Moses," as weH as a freeh tock of thore with which lovers of art are already familiar. This espy of the "Moses" is esteemed one of the finest things that has yet been doue by the "autotype" process, and it created the greatest enthusiasm in Paris when it was exhibited there recently. An arrangement has been made to exhibit these works to the public until the eighth of Jul)', at the galleries, No. 1125 Chesnut street, and those who visit them during this time will be sure to find abun dant subjects for wonder and admiration. The introduction of the "autotypes" to the American public is one of the most important art events of the day, and they deserve to be better known and appreciated than they are by all classes of our tiilm ns.
