rrerpoudence of the Radical.]
Washington, D. C., April 9, 1873,
Attorney General Williams has decided
to ?u«pend for the present all proceedings
against persons indicted in the Southern
State? for violating the enforcement act
and being members of the Eu Klux Klan.
He say? if the laws are respected, and no
farther attemptsjnade to-violate them,
the prosecutions will be suspended en
i.rely; but on the other hanji if disorder
t csaes prosecutions w ill be pushed rigor
ously. There are over one thousand of
these causes now pending in the United
States Courts.
The President telegraphs to his secre
tary here that he expects to reach Wash*
'cgtoc in time to hold the usual cabinet
meeting on Tuesday next.
Secretary Robeson left for New York
last night, to the absent until Monday or
Tuesday. While away the War and
Kivy departments are without any head,
the President not being here to designate
£::iag Secretaries during R ibeson’s ab
sence.
Frequent inquiries are made at the of
fice of. Internal Revenue as m the date at
which the act of December 24, 1872, will
be put in operation. The Commissioner
states that the law referred to will take
effect May 20, 1873.
Secretary Richardson Is just now receiv
ing a large number of letters from New
York, and elsewhere tendering gratuitous
advice as to the best plan to break up the
gold speculators in Wall street. Some
advise what be shall do, and others what
be should hot do ; but the Secretary re
mains mum as tu what he may or may
not do.
The necessity for a military prison for
the confinement of offenders subject to
military jurisdiction is shown in the case
of Robert D. Bogart, clerk to Paymaster
Clark of the IT. S. Navy, now undergo
ing a second trial before a- naval court
martial on the charge of embezzling $3O,
000 from the Government. He was tried
and convicted once before, but having no
proper place to confine him, the case got
into the State Courts and he was by legal
technicalities set at liberty. The law of
the last Congress for a military prison
rem ained no appropriation therefor, but
thN- oversight will probably be remedied
session.
G -vcmment clerks will take out install-
Cie r .ts of the new loan bonds
cs fast as they are ready for issue. Only
Uie actual expenses of the clefks will be
allowed.
The present members of the Civil Ser
vice Advisory Board deny that the civil
service reform rules, as approved by the
President, will be because of
the resignation of George William Cur
l:? - or that the resignation will in any
w &y affect their operations.
Various letters have been received here
by the heads of departments urging that
a recommendation be made to the nest
Congress for the establishment of Exam
ining Boards in all the large cities through
out the country, so that applicants for
positions in the civil service may be spar
ed the expense of a sojourn in Washing
ton for the mere purpose of competing for
a place. The suggestions embodied in
these letters can hardly be said to-
w >jlh general approval. , The idea of offi
t'als with whom I have conversed is that
such a course would result in making too
®Qch of the civil service. “Any young
tnan who possesses the requisite ability is
a fool to come to Washington" to:bury
b‘msell as a department clerk,” says
reasurer Spinner. The expense incident
to the establishment of numerous Exam- 1
toing Boards, the rush for positions that
'vouid follow, the conflict in respect to
,be number of places to be filled from
® ta,e » a °d the impression that would
,fc Crea that a department clerkship- is
the best thing in the world to have, are
considerations that will weigh heavily
against the desired Congressional action.-
Tbe Secretary of the Treasury has issued
a circular ordering all persons boldingcop
per, bronze, oor copper nickel coins, here
tofore authorized by law, that they can ex
change them for the minor coins, namely,
five, three, and one cent pieces, author
ized by the act of February, 1873, by pre
senting or forwarding them to the Ph ila
delphia Mint, in sums of not less than $2O
or multiple thereof, properly asorted by
denomination, advising the superintend
ent of tke amount and kind of coin for
warded, and the kind of coin desired In
return.
The following revenue officers have
been assigned to duly : First Lieutenants
Thos. Mason detached from the McCul
loch, at Portland, Me., and placed on
waiting orders ; George Williams detach
ed from the Grant, New and
ordered to the Delaware; Third Lieutenant
H. Newcomb ordered to the Petrel, at
Pensacola ; Charles H. Greenway to the
Hamilton, at Boston ; W. A. Training to
the Relief, at Galveston ; George Delap to
the Mosswood, at Eastporl; George E.
McConnell to the Nansemond, at Savan
nah ; John Wyckoft to Dobbin, at Cestine;
F. A. O’Cunner to the Stevens, at New
bern.
Mr. Biglow, Chief of the Loan Division
of the Treasury Department, who goes to
Europe in a few days in connection with
the new loan, will take hut three clerks
with him, and they will he selected from
among the most experienced and efficient
clerks in the department.
The act to revise, consolidate and
amend the laws relating to pensions, pass
ed during the last days of the late Con
gress, contains a provision which ,makes a
radical change in the pensions allowed to
children of soldiers’widows. Under the
old law one child, in the event of the
death nr re-marriage of the widow.receiv
ed no increase. Under the present law
the pensions of widows are increased
from and after the 20th day of July, 18G6,
at the rate of two dollars per month for
each child, under the age of sixteen year?,
of the husband on account of whose, death
the claim has been, or shall be, granted.
Under this law the two dollars increase
applies to all the children. Under the old
law the widow of an officer received noth
ing for her children ; now she receives
the two dollars for each child.
Eizzil.
Though thfr law seems to be clear on
the subject, the Secretary of the Interior
bas not-yet determined whether the law
is retroactive. The opinion of the bureau
is that it is. The Commissioner 6f Pen
sions finds it impracticable to arrive at
the approximation even of the amount re
quired to meet this new feature of the
law. There are many circumstances
which must be taken into consideration,
and it has been found that the actual ex
penditure must demonstrate the pecunia
ry requirements of the law. The provis
ions of the act which staled that all col
ored persons who enlisted in the army
during the late war, and who are now
prohibited from receiving bounty and
pension,on account of having been borne
on the rolls of their regiments as slave?,
shall be placed,on the same fooling as to
bounty and pensions as though they bad
not been slaves at .the date of their enlist
ment. The above applies more to boun
ty than to pension, the latter will not he
materially affected. Previously the moth-
er could not be held dependent on the
son when both were slaves. The inter
pretation of the comptroller states that it
applies only to claimants who were" slaves.
A colored soldier enlisted could not claim
bounty if a slave. If be survived, be can
under this law, but his mother or widow
cannot. According to the last repprlOf
the commissioner of pensions there were,
at the end of the fiscal year ending June
30, 1872, two hundred and thirty-two
thousand two hundred pensioners £ pf all
classes-on the roils, to whom were paid
$30,169,341.

The Pittsburgh Commercial of Tuesday
last says; Shortly before five o’clock
yesterday a steamboat disaster occurred
on the Ohio, at the head of Glass House
Hippie and near Brunei’s Island, which
will result, probably, in the .total de
struction of the New Slate, a freight and
passenger steamer plying between this
city and Wheeling. The New State left
Ike Pittsburgh wharf at a quarter after
four o’clock with a full cargo, of dry
goods, iron, glass, &c., and a considerable
number of passengers,, about twenty-five
of them being women and children. The
accident occurred at about 4:35; by colli
sion with the Eagle, a towboat, which
was on its way to this city. The river Is
high, aud it Was with difficulty that the
boats c'-uld he managed, while the place
of meeting was an unfortunate one. The
fault or blame, if any there was, cannot
at this time be pUictd but an invest,’tra
tiou will immediately f »II‘»w. Thrj E*>*le
struck the New State on the starboard
bow, knocking the bow off and staving
in the bull. The latter sank immediate
ly, while the towboat, which was without
weight upon it, seemed to be entirely un
injured, except the breaking of the gal
lows frame and the jackstaff. The cap
tain of the Eagle at once took the passen
gers from the unfortunate vessel and
brought them to the city, giving them
every attention. No person was at all in
jured by the accident.
It is believtd that the New State will
lie a total wreck, but much of the freight
will be recovered from her decks. The
second mate and a watchman were left
on board, with lights, to warn other craft
from the danger the sunken boat being
immediately in the channel and the river
rising. When shq was left by the Eagle
the water was wWhm two feet of the cab
in and rising. Tl/e New State was owned
by Messrs. C. BoMh & Co., of Wheeling,
and commanded by Capt. Dillon. Tbj
vessel and cargo are estimated to haft
been worth between $25,000 and $30,000,
but no information as to insurance could
be obtained. The £>gle is owned by
Capt. Thomas /Harper.

Attempted Burglary.—On Friday
night s thief entered the house of Capt.
R. Calhoun, of Georgetown, and was dis
covered, fortunately, before he had com
mitted any robbery so far as known.
Mrs. Curtis, about one o’clock, took the
lamp to go down stairs to get a cup of
fresh water for tier little boy, who was
thirsty, and proceeded through the hall,
sitting rd9m, dining room, into the ad
joining pantry, and remained there some
two or three minutes, perhaps,getting the
cup of water, when she started to return
dp stairs. Before coming out of the
-pantry she thought she beard some shuf
fling in the dining room, bat supposed it
was the cat’s, and concluded she would
turn it but. On stepping into the dining
room, however, she was terribly shocked
to see a mao standing & few feet from the
ce)la> door, nearly in front of her. After
an exclamation of surprise she managed
to walk by him and cet up stairs, though
very much (lightened. She described
him as a shor', thick set person, with
broad shoulders, heavy, short, black
whiskers, large eyes bps firmly Closed
with corners drawn back ; in dark
clothes and wearing a cap, she thinks.
Captain Calhoun went immediately down
stairs, but the thief had fled down through
the cellar and escaped. In shutting the
cellar door he slummed it so hard that the
noise was heard through the house dis
tinctly. No clue to the midnight prow
ler has been vet discovered.
For IQUnuesota.— A few days ago Lieut.
Hamilton of 2ud Cavalry, stationed at Fort Ellis,
accompanied by a Sergeant of the Post, left by
stage for the Bast, having in charge two soldiers
sentenced by Court Martial to imprisonment for
offences committed within the limits of the Milita
ry reservation at this place, and whom he will de
posit in the Military Prison, at Stillwater; in the
State of Minnesota. While the Lieutenant is call
ed from ns by duty, he is also favored with a four
month's leave of absence, by which he will have
an opportunity to visit friends and relatives in his
(Keystone) native State, from whom he has for
s-ome years been separated. We say that
bis manly presence, genial, gentlemanly smile and
affable manner will, during bis absence bo missed
by his friends, and their name is legion; and that
we sincerely hope his visit may be as plcastnt as
his return will be welcome. Speaking for our
selves we can do no less than say that In him we
recognize the gallant soldier, social companion and
courteous friend, than for whom our mercury
cannot rise higher in the barometer of social
friendship. —Avani {Montana) Courier.
Lieut. Hamilton, the subject of the
above notice, afrived at his home in Bea
ver on last Saturday, and we judge from
his appearance that life bn the plains
agrees with him. We hope he will spend
the next four months pleasantly.

It is a sad thing to pass through life only half
alive. Tet there are thousands whose habitual
condition is one of languor and debility. They
complain of nonspecific desease, they sutler no
positive pain; lint they have no relish for any
thing which affords mental or sensuous pleasure
to their more robust and energetic fellow beings.
In nine cases out of ten this slate of lassitude
and torpor’airisee from a morbid stomach. Indi
gestion destroys the energy of both mind and
body. When the waste of nature is not supplied
by a due and regular assimilation of the food,
every organ is starved. every function interrupted.
Now. what does common sense saggest under
these circumstances of depression? The system
needs rousing ana strengthening; not merely for
an hour or two. to sink afterwards intd a more
pitiable condition than ever (as It assuredly would
do if nu ordinary alcoholic stimulant was resorted
to.i but radically and permanently.
How is this desirable object to bo accomplished ?
The answer to this question, founded on the un
varying experience ot a quarter of a century, is
easily given. Infuse new vigor into the digestive
organs by a course of Hostetler's Stomach Bit
ters. Do not waste lime in administering tem,
porary remedies, but wake the system up by re
cuperating the fountain head of physical
strength and energy, the great organ upon \hich
all the other organs depend for their nurture and
support.
By the time a dozen doses of the great vegeta
ble tonic and iuvigorant have been taken, the
feeble frame ot the dyspeptic will begin to feel its
benign influence. Appetite will be created, and
with appetite the capacity to digest what it craves.
Persevere until the cure is complete—until health
ful blood, fit to be the material of flesh and mus
cle, bone and nerve and brain, flows through the
channels of circulation, instead of the watery pab
nium with which they have heretofore been im
perfectly nourished. apriU 1m
