itAitatoiD SUBSIDIES.
A good beginning has leetr*ade'
in the Hove of Represedatives at
WashingtO by rejecting the first
railroad subsidy bill of the present
session. It was one-of the very nn
merous progeny of Pacific Railroad;
schemes with which the whole coun
try has been ringing; and _was re
garded on all handi at Washington
as a test case. Others; however, are
pressing forward, nothing daunted,
and very plausible statements. are
made on their behalf. , We, are glad
to see Congressmen standing up
manfully against them all, and we
sincerely trust,that they will continue
to maintan that, attitude through the
session, setting their faces rigidly
against all further subsidies.
This is the duty that Congress ()Wes
to the taxpayers of the republic. It
is so recognized by General Grant
and all who represent his views. Our
finances are itf no condition to war,,,l
rant our proceeding any further in
the career of reckless prodigality
that has excited so much complaint•,
and however desirable the schemes
or public improvement for which so
much money is demanded,they should
one and all be left to be accomplish=
ed by private and corporate enter
prise, as fast' is the growth of popu
lation and the movements of trade
shall warrant. We must now pause
and take time to look about us, to
ascertain definitely the state of our
affairs aid thy• future financial pros
pects, before we add to our fiscal
embarrassments. We must make
both ends meet. We must garner up
the immense resources we have been
lavishing.
We have heftily finished the build-
ing a one great through railroad to
the Pacific, and that it is sufficient
now to bind together the widely sep
arated parts of our far western do.
main. While that region is so thinly
settled it would obviously be unwise
to give this line any rivals to divide
its traffic. It is our duty to give it
time to develope the -country and
build up its trade. Let it have all
the advantage of a monopoly of the
field in order to insure its immediate
and rapid success, so that the mana
gers may be enabled to relieve us of
that portion of our national debt in
curred for its construction. This is
the true way to show that it is profit
able to go on building these works.
We are satisfied that with proper
management the road can and should
relieve us of that portion of our debt,
and hence we rejoice at the resistance
in Congress to all further subsidies
to Pacific railroads. We trust that
Congress Will stand firmly by this
view.
THE PENSION FOR MR& Lutcots.- 7 -
About a week ago Senator Morton
introduced a bill granting a position '
to Mrs. MARY LINCOLN, widow of the
late President of the United States.
This resolution was referred to the
Committee on PensionsVuesday, Mr.
C A N WINKLE, the Chairo n of that
Committee, made a report, in which
the Committee say, in substance,they
are unable tb perceive that Mrs. LIN
COLN', as the widow of the late Presi-
dent, c.r ..any other character, is en
titled to a penSion under the letter
and spirit of any existing law. The
Committee are aware the friends of
the resolution expect to make a per
manent provision for the lady under
the guise of a pension : but no evi
dence has Leen furnished to them or
reasons assigned why such provision
should be made. If such was the
intention, the Committee submit the
reference should have been Made to
some other Committee. The commit
tee on Pensions, at least for some
years past, have In t thought it com
patible with their duty, or the ob
jects of their appointment, to recom
mend in any case the granting of any
special pension, or any pension of a
greater amount than is allowed by
some general law. If they thought
the amount so alloWed too small,they
would feel it incumbent on them to
report a general bill for like relief in
all similar cases. If the increase
proposed was on account of extraor
dinary military or naval services, the
proper reference would be the Milita
ry or Naval Committee. Under all
these circumstances the Committee
have no altern4tive but to report
against the passago of the general
resolution
INDIAN AFFAIRS.—The Senate COM
mittee on Indian Affairs have agreed
to report adversely on the House bill
to transfer the charge of the Indians
to the War Department, and will re
port'in favor of the Senate bill to
erect the Indian Bureau into a sepa
rate department, with an official head
who shall have a seat in the Cabinet.
The ;Alley is questionable ; but
Congress having all the facts before
them in relaticn to Indian Affairs,
ought to know how to manage them
so as best to protect the treaty rights
of the red men and secure the safety
of the frontier settlements.
TILE INAUGURATION BALL —lt has
finally been settled that the inaugra
tion ball is to take place in the north
wing of the Treasury. This is the
new addition to the building now
nearly finished. It is thought that
the rooms will be ready for the ball
by the time they are required. One
of them, called the "cashier's room,;
will be, when completed, one of the
most elegantly finished rooms. or
halls, if not the finest, in the country.
Its walls_ are of the richest Italian
Marble. The height or the ceilling
from the floor is thirty feet.

HEALTH bp THE HON. H. ILL LOWRY
The Hon. M. 11 - .,Lowry, Senator
from the Crawford and Erie district,
(says the garrisburg Telepiph) was
slightly affected with _paralysis Mon
day afternoon while at dinner atlas
boarding house. The one side of his
body, and particularly the leg and
arm, were considerably paralyzed
yesterday, but we are glad to learn
from one of his attending physicians,
that he is sae to use:his leg again,
and is otbs - rwiso considerably im
proved. Itt will, however, require'
soul day's"patient rest, before he can
partially attend to his duties. The
absence of Mr . Lowry from"the Senate
will be severely felt by his constitu
, cuts, whose interest he is always
watching, and we hope that his
health may soon permit him to occu
py his seat in that body.
TENURE OF OFFICE the
United States Senate, on Monday,Mr.
Edmunds, Chairman of the Retrench
ment Committee, reported Senate. bill
amending the Tenure of Office act,
with -amotion that it be indefinitely
postponed ; and also House bill re
pealing the act, with amendment
authorizing the President to remove
a Cabinet officer as his pleasure dur
ing the recess of Congress, and to
suspend any officer during the recess .
in his discretion, without assigning
any specific reason therefor. The
committee consists of Messrs. Ed
munds, Patterson,of New Hampshire,
Williams and Buckalew. It is under
stood that the three former Senators
favor modification rather than repeal,
1 while the latter is in favor of repeal.
1 The modifications .'recommended will
probably be adopted by the Senate
and accepted by the House.. .
TROUBLE AMONG T 11 1 ,3 DEMOCRATS.-
Oar Demociatic friends seem to have
considerable trouble about finding a
candidate for Governor. Heister
Clymer, who was so badly worsted
by Governor Geary in the last cam
paign, declines the honor of running
against the Govermir a second time,
most peremptorily, Asa Packer
writes that he has no ambition of be
ing a candidate,yet, if it is necessary
that he should again be sacrificed as
he was in New York, when he Was
presented by the Pennsylvania delega
tion, 'as their candidate for Vice Presi
dent,he:must submit. Gen.WCandless
and Gen. Cass seem to be the only
gentlemen prominently pressed by
their friends. It makes, however,
little difference to the Republicans

League, drawn up by Mt. E. M. Da

per money is better suited to the
wants of the age than gold or silver,
and that gold bullion or grad dust
may be transferred to foreigners in

great expense in a mint. It also
claims that the necessity which
brought in greenbacks brought out

that the' countrY , produced, in the last
seven years; more wealth than it had
ever realized before in the same space
of time. What will the bullionists
and the copperheads say to all this ?
Of course,the' circumstance that most
of the assertions put forth' by the
