NEGLEY has hen ap pointed Gas Inspector fur the city of Pitts• burgh by Governor Hoyt. HON. B. F. JONAS has been elected United States Senator from Louisiana to succeed Mr. Eustis. RICHARD HENRY DANA, poet and es sayist, died at his residence in Boston, on Sunday last, aged 93 years. COL. SNOWDEN, present postmaster at Philadelphia, who was tendered the Di rectorship of the Mint, has declined to ac cept, and will retain his old position. SENATOR CONKLING was defeated in his efforts to kill the nominations for New York city sent to the Senate, by the Presi dent. They were confirmed after a fierce opposition by Mr. Conkling. DURING the performing of a marriage. ceremony in the church of St. Francis Xaiver, in New York city, on Thursday last, the officiating priest, Rev. Father Alphonsus Pelletier, fell dead of heart disease. GEN. GEo. CADWALADER, brother of the late Judge Cadwalader, and the last of five brothers, died at his residence, in Philadelphia, on Monday even ing, aged about seventy three years. PRESIDENT MACMAHON, of France, tendered his resignation to the Chambers, on the 30th ult., and it was promptly ac cepted. The two Chambers subsequently met and M. Jules Grevy was elected Pres ident of the French Republic for the term of seven years. THE Chambersburg Repository, of last week says that 11. S. Grant for President and J. D. Cameron for Vice President would make a strong ticket. It would that, and a very popular one too. That ticket would go through "kitin." Wic are in daily receipt of that bright, sparkling and newsy paper, the Lancaster Examiner and Express, and during its brief visit to our sanctum we have become so attached to it, that we would rather miss our breakfast than forego the perusal - of its well-filled and interesting pages. Ow MONDAY hit the Brooklyn Presby tsry appointed a committee, consisting of three ministers and two elders, to investi gate the conduct of Rev. T. De Witt Tal mage, it being common report that he is guilty of falsehood and deceit and of using improper methods in preaching, tending to bring religion into contempt, etc. A PARTY of six persons have been ar rested in Lebanon, charged with the mar der of an old man named Joseph Raber. in December last. At the time it was supposed that the old man bad been drowsed, but within a few days evidence has been obtained which fastens the killing on .those under arrest. They bad heavy insurance, amounting to some $30,000, on the old man's life He was friendless and alone in the world, and the case looks very much as if be had been insured by these parties with a view to his murder. It is said that one of the men will make a con fession of the whole transaction. A SPECIAL dispatch from Washington, under date of the 4th inst., says that the rebel brigadiers and their Southern friends yesterday retaliated for the opposition they encountered in the payments of Southern war claims by voting en masse against the bill authorizing the Secretary of the Treas ury to sell forty millions of four per cent. bonds to pay the arrearages of pensions authorised by the recent act on that sub ject. The Southern and Northern Demo crate declare that they will withhold their support of this measure until Southern men can have an equal right to the pay ment of moneys due them. It now looks as if the Union soldier would have to go without his arrearages on account of the interposition of Democratic votes against the appropriation. PENSiON ARREARS-HOW TO GET In last week's JOURNAL we published the new pension law in full, since which time we have frequently been interrogated by pensioners as to how they - should pro ceed to get their claims before the proper department. The Commissioner of Pen sions, J. A. Bently. esq., has issued a cir cular letter giving all the desired infor mation on this subject, and for the benefit of those of our readers who are interested in the matter, we publish his instructions: Persons who are entitled to arrears of pension, under the act granting arrears, approved January 25, 1879, and whose pensions were granted previous to that date, will not rcquire the assistance of a claim agent in obtaining the amount - due them. All correspondence in relation to any claim for such arrears will be with the person entitled, and no claim agent will be recognized in such claim. A letter addressed to the Commissioner of Pensions, si g ned by the person who was in receipt of the pensions at the date afore said, and two witnesses, in the presence of a magistrate, will be the only application required, and upon which the rights of all parties concerned will be adjusted. The Pension Certificate should not be sent to the Pension office, but it must be exhibited to the magistrate. The letter should be in the following or equivalent form : To the Commissioner qt Pensions: a pensioner under pen lion certificate No. —, hereby apply for the arrears due me, under the act grant ing arrears of pensions, approved January 25, 1879. My postoffice address is—[here insert the name of the postoffice, and if the claimant resides iu a city, the name and number of the street and residence must be given.] Two witnessess.

Magistrate's Signature. THE ARLINGTON ESTATE. In the trial of the ease of the heirs of Gen Lee, for control of the Arlington es tote, now used as a cemetery of dc•ui Cruica soldiers, for some time no trial in the U. S. District Court of Virginia, sitting at Alexundria, a verdict was brought in by tho jury, cn Thurilay, ef Lr t favor of the rd-invilf. The del,nlciants en teted a motion for a eew trial, on tte grounds, first, that the Court erred in overruling the objections made by the defendants to the introduction of evi dence ; second, that the verdict is con trary to the eviabnce; third, that the Court erred in excluding evidence offered by de fendant. The following history the case is from the N. Y. Tribune : Editor, The verdict in regard to the Arlington estate, if sustained by the Appellate Court, will give the property to the heirs of Gen eral Robert E. Lee. who do not ask for a restoration of the homestead, nor desire to disturb the National Cemetery upon it, but only to pay a fair money value. The history of this interesting case may be briefly stated. In 1864 Arlington was sold under the Confiscation Act, to satisfy unpaid taxes amounting to $9l 07. By the terms of the law such taxes could be tendered only by the bona fide owner. Lee, who was in the Confederate Army, could not make the tender, and though a citizen of Washington offered to perform that friendly office, it was not accepted, and the property was sold by the order of President Lincoln. The government bought in the estate for the nominal sum of $26,- 000, but of course no money was actually paid, as the Government was both buyer and seller. Counsel for plaintiffs held that decisions of the Supreme Court in a number of cases similar to this have been to declare the law null and void. They held that the sale was illegal, for the rea .son that it violated a constitutional pro vision that no person shall be deprived of "life, liberty, or property without due pro teas of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use without just compen sation." They claimed further, that lands have always been exempt from sale for un paid taxes where there are goods and chat tels sufficient to pay such tax. At the time of the sale it is cl limed that there were in the Arlington House "zoads arid chattels" much more than sufficient to meet all demands of the Government. Mrs. Lee died in 1873, and her eldest son, Gen eral George Washington Curtis Lee, be came by the terms of his grandfather's will the heir of the estate. After several attempts to get compensation for the es tate, General Lee brought suit of eject' went, which was pending in the courts for some time. The interest of the case arises rather from the illustrious origin of the family than from the amount of money in volved Mrs. Lee was the only child of George Parke Custis, the "Child of Mount Vernon," so called because his youth was spent at the home of Washington. He was the grandson of Martha Washington. WHOLESALE MURDER. The recent slaughter of the band of half frozen and half-starved Cheyenne In dians, while attempting to escape from Fort Robinson, in Southern Nebraska, where they were penned like so many wild beasts, excites a thrill of horror through out the civilized world, and calls loudly for a thorough and rigid investigation, and the prompt punishment of those who may be proven responsible for this un called for and wholesale massacre. The Indians were only carrying out the in stincts ofhuman nature in their attempt to escape from the prison pen in which they had been confined for some time, and in which they were suffering. from cold and hunger. Men, women and help less children all fared alike, and were shot down like so many wild beasts. This trans action is a blot upon' our country, and must be wiped off by fixing the responsi bility where it rightly belungs. In com menting upon the atrocity, the Sew Ycrk Evening Post expresses itself in the fol lowing forcible manner : "So the last act of the piteous Fort Robinson tragedy reaches its bloody climax. The poor fugitives, escaping in the cold with their women and children, driven from one fastness to another, de climated by the repeated attacks of the troops, suffering from wounds, hunger and frost, yet heroically refusing to surrender, have met their fate with the stoicism which we read about now and then in novels, but rarely find illustrated in the modern Indian character. Out of the fifty Indian warriors who, fearing, transfer to a new reservation, fled from Fort Robinson, only nine wounded prig oners, so far as known. are left: . is one of the hardest of duties to speak of this melancholy epis)de of In dian warfare in the strong language which it deserves. But first it must be said in justice to the troops under Captain Wes sell's command that they and their leaders seemed to be absolved from the blame fit the massacre They were soldiers who simply obeyed orders. They confronted a band of desperat.... armed men who had to be overcome in a single way and that way desperate and murderous fighting. The unique feature of this whole outbreak has been the unyielding despair with which the Indian fugitives have fought. Their resistance has been the resis tance of convicts who, doomed to itnpris onment for life, Lave become careless cf life itself and welcome the death that takes the place of captivity. In dealing with such men there could be to halt' way work if they were to be subdued at all. "But far behind this sad butchery thtre looms up the real responsibility—the res pensibility fur broken treaties; invaded reservations, swindling contracts and the destitution and misery which has wade the life of the red man a burden. Because the wicked contractors and the indifferent offices of former administrations at Wash ington did not point the muskets and pull the triggers that killed the wretched fu gitives they are morally accountable no less for the sad necessity that forced un willing soldiers to be executioners in the bloodiest of modern Indian tragedies. If the thrill of horror which the event has awakened is to be more than a passing im pulse, it should direct public attention to the real source of the evil and have its uses in better ways than in persecuting the Indian and in slaughtering him when he flees. Before time dims remembrance of the butchery, let. us annul the system of wrong which makes a recurrence of the butchery not only possible but certain if the old forms of ma!-administration con tinue." REV. F. B.• RIDDLE fell upon the icy side-walk, near the residence of Presiding Elder Mitchell, on Wednesday, and sus tained serious, though not dangerous, in juries. The pavements, in their present condition, are dangerous, and pedestrians cannot be too careful. TIIOMAB MCCAMANT : of Blair county, has been retained as chief clerk undo. Secretary Quay.

Our •Tenure of Life Depends in great measure upon our regard for or neglect of the laws of health. lf we violate them we cannnot expect to "make old bones." But that the span of existence allotted to a naturally delicate constitution, or one which has been shaken by disease may be materially lengthened, is a fact of which we have daily proof. The vivifying and•restoratise influ ence of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters upon a failing physique affords a striking illustration of the power of judicious medication to strengthen the hold on life. Restored diges tion, complete assimilation, renewed appetite, sound repose, these are among the benefits conferred upon the debilitated by that supreme renovant. With a circulation enriched, a frame invigorated, and a nervous system tranquilized, the invalid, after a course of the Bitters, feels that his life tenure is no longer the precarious thing that it was—that he may yet enjoy a "green old age." [feb.7-Im. E. F. Kunkel's Bitter Wine of Iron. This truly valuable tonic has been so thoroughly tested by all classes of the corn munity that it is now deemed indispensable as a Tonic medicine.
