The Internal Revenue Committe
have agreed to report to the I louse a
lull taking the tax off savings brinks,
deposit, bank capital, watches, pat
ent medicine?, and bank checks.
This will make a total reduction of
$10.C.')0,r, io in the revenue.
The public debt .-tatement for
January shows a reduction dining
the month of $7.-'2.1o7.71. Thus
month after month, this colossal
legacy of Democratic fully and crime
is Ileitis; fctcadily w iped out by the
wife policy of the Republican party.
The usual resolution which makes
Ua !ini!iTnnM nt every fession of
the Legislature, to remove the State
capital from llarrishurg to Phila
delphia, has already been introduc
ed, and affirmatively rt ported. It
proposes to submit the question to
a popular vote.
Iakli v T. Coxe, the Democratic
Senator who could not taKe the
urescrilicd oath at the OUCninS! of
, - , t
the Legislative session, oecatise lie
bad improperly used money to pro
cure his election, and who.-:e teat
therefore became vacant, has been
renominated for re-election by his
party friends in Luzerne county.
General Wfavkr say there is
no truth in the report that the Dem
ocratic party proposes to ado it the
name and priciples of the Greenback
party and swallow up the ofiics.
The only "round for the rumor is
the fact that the Democratic prity
is dead, and is bound to break up
because it has no living issue.
' Ox Wednesday (9th inst.,) to-day,
the electoral vote for President and
Vice President will be counted in
the presence of the two Houses of
Congress, and Garfield anl Arthur
will, in accordance with the Consti
tution, be declared President and
Vice Prudent of the United States
for four years from the 4th dav of
March next.
SiseE our List issue the legisla
ture in ioint convention has token
one ballot each day for Senator with
out any material chanpe as to the
petition of the candidates. Mean
while business in both branches is
progressing as usual, and a large
i.umbcr of bills have been reported,
referred and read in place.
"Won't you walk into my parlor,
Raid the spider to the fly?" And
the innocent little flies demurely
walked in, and ftood up to be count
ed, and now they are vainly buzzing
and attempting to git -out. '"Xo
bolters iu ours." say the staunch
Ttnl true Republicans of Somerset
rounrv.
TirKKE r.evcr was an allegation of
fraud against the election and nomi
nation of Abraham Lincoln. Thci-
rebels bolted because they could not
lrevert it. There never has been
an intimation of fraud or unfairness
made against the nomination of
Henry W. Oliver. The Grow men
lolted lioeausc they could not pre
vent it. It is charged that Mr. Oli
ver lacks cxjierience arid ability.
It was similarly charged that Mr.
Lincoln was an ajc, a low black
guard and an imbecile. Tlie parallel
bet ween the rebels of lS01-ei2 and
the relwIsoflSSO-M might be ex
tended ad infinitum.
The Bedford Inmui-cr, gleaning its
information from the Myersdale
Commercial, says, the caucus system
is therefore repudiated by the o
puhlicans of Somerset ceiunty.
Does the Jivjulrrr remember the
ludicrous and abortive effort made
in this county last year to get up a
bolt, aud send contesting delegates
to the Chicago Convention ? Weli,
the same parties are encouraging
this attempt to give aid and comfort
to bolters nt llarrishurg, nnd in the
rnd their present effort will fall
tillborutu did the. former. The
Ucnublicans tf Somerset County
fiilljr appreciate the kickers, as well
as the value of standing by regular
ttominations, knowing as they &i
from the experience of many ye ars,
that this alone ha retained their
power in the county.
Tlie Mcvrdale Commercial insists
that there was fully two hundred
persons at the late Couuty Meeting,
Suppose tliere was ; there were
sixty Votes by actual count sustain
ing the bolters, being less than one-
third of those present in the meet
ing, and juit about the same .pro
portion the bolters at Harrisburg
sustain' to the regular party vote.
As to its allegation that almost
crcry district in the county was
re- resented, we differ emphatically,
Lut graaf that to Ik? true also; there
arc thirty-three districts in the coun
ty, which if diTided into sixty would
not furnish two vote to the district,
while on the otlier hand know,
as docs the QmmereuJ, that Mr-ver-
JaJe had over thirty delegates rcs-
it, and we can count on our fingers '
orcr twenty-five county officials and;
others belonging to the Court 1 louse
clique m this town,'who voted with
them, thus leaving not over half-a-j
dozen votes to represent tlie balanes
if the county. The Ommrrcwl must
revise H figures if it wants to show
that the meeting yoiced the senti
jnent of thn county.
AemiiDt.Vt; t- the programme
bo'ng carried out id Hamsburg, nil
that is requisite to give the mineri
ty control, is. for a Srcore or two, or
less, of dissatisfied politicians to in
fuse to go into caucus, set up in ia
dejiendeiit or bolting candidate,
slick to bint for a few ballots, and
then the '"independent" press will
raise a howl that the nominee of the
majority cannot lo elected, party
supremacy i engendered, the. ex
hibition is a disgraceful one, a coin-
pn.mise must le m-.ide, and thus if!
their advice is taken tlie regular
nojnir.ee is abandoned, the minority
have obtained their object, the party
is saved from the evil results of ma
jority dictation, and everything is
lovely until another set of soreheads
arc ready to attempt the same game.
Tlie Meycrsdalc Commrrtial al
ledgedthat ninty-ninc out of a hun
dred Republicans its editor had spo
ken to, were in favor of the liolters,
and that he believed that this was
the general outlook throughout the
county, and after the vote at the late
inci ting to lay oa the table a reso
lution approving the course of our
representatives at llarrishurg that
ournal savs: '"The editor of the
Coir.Hurriul would bo false to his
better nature did he not express his
grateful thanks to his fellow Repub
licans tfor their warm and ovcr
whclming endorsement of h view?."
How do the true Republicans of the
County like? this proclamation to
the country that they endorse the
Omiitierciiil and the bolters? and
how do the men who stood up ar.d
yo.ca to endorse me views Oi toai
paper, like to be thus squarely put
m tiic record rs bolters' by their
or. n (rg.tn?
Think is a la ighable effort being
made by the Grow boiler to claim
credit for fairness and a, desire for
conciliation, because they submitted
to Mr. Oliver's friends alist of names,
any one of which would be accepta
ble to them for Senator. In this
list were the r.amcsof thearcli bolter
Grow, and of his henchmen Wolfe,
and of the five others all but one
vCol. Thomas Payne) are fully
identified with the bolt, and do not
come as near the standard laid down
by themselves, as does Mr. Oliver.
The proposition instead of being
fair or in favor of a compromise was
a mere blind. "nd an indirect ir.tult
to the men who are standing by the
party organization. It must have
re-quired a vast amount of cheek to
say to Mr. Oliver, a? they have done,
your nomination was obtained fair
ly, you are un honorable man, oi
irreproachable- character, and we
will FUpport some other man of our
own choosing, if you will withdraw.
If you don't agree to this, we will
break up the party.
TnnitE is a good deal of squirming
among the small clique of gentle
men in this town, who are attempt
ing to ride roughshod over the time
honon d usages of the party, and to
exalt treason to its regular nominee
for Senator. And while their organ
is exultantly boastbij that they sus
tained.'.! and its open advocacy oi
bolters, by their Kpeechcs and votes
in the late county mooting, they ar.d
their backirs arc busily explaining
that they infant nothing, except to
vote down a n solution inopportune
ly oilered. The lody of the ostrich
is quite plain to the puMio, though
its brad is hidden under the sand.
What these gentlemen are driving at
is plain enough. Tiicy desire to
overthrow the only method hitherto
.iwwn to any party for nominating
candidates, a method on which
the government it.nli is founded.
that of the right of the majority to
rule. True, they do not boldly
proclaim this fact, but by endorsing
and upholding bolters, they hope to
dignify rebellion, and to coerce the
maioritv into submittinar to their
dictation. Their conduct is calcu
la ted to encourage rebellion in our
midst, and to overthrow party or
ganization in the county.
If thcre'sult ed a caucus or conven
tion is nert binding on the people's
rejtreser.tative-s, why should the re
sult of a primary election 1)0 bind-
on the people themselves?. It is cx
pectoel in both, that the voice or
voters of the majority Fliall control?
ami if not, whv hold a nominating
caueus er election ?
This sustaining of the bolters at
llarrishurg, is tmt the entering
vedire to tiie entire disruption of tlie
RepuV.,en party in tnc Mate and
jGoui.ty. We aduu.nkh Um Repub-
iie-ans eif llic couuty, and tlie candi

These getitlnnen were foolhardy
enough to cndor? ft rebellion on
foot at Ilarruburg, and th sanc
tion one at home ; now Let them
accept the consequences of their
act. A revolt against tlie party
nominatiems in this county two
year since, was mercilessly crushed,
.'Jthough ly leaders in it, had been
equally as prominent, ftijd far more

There is but one way to meet

IlobluserftolloM S.i-C'uiKvi Reformers.
A correspondent the other day
asked Colonel Robert Ingersoll to
give his opinion on the "machine"
in polities, and met with tlie follow
ing response: "All the defeated
candidates regard the persons who
eteieat fiem as constituting a ma-1
chine, and always imagine that
there is some wicked conspiracy nt
the bottom of the machine. Some
of the recent reformers rccrard the
people who take part in the early
stages of a political campaign, who
attend caucuses and primaries, who
speak of politics to their neighbors,
as members and parts of the ma
chine, and regard only those as good
ar.d reliable cither.s who take no
part whatever, simply reserving the
right to grumble after the work has
been elonc by others. Not much
can be accomplished in politics
without an organization, and the
moment an eirganization is formed,
and you might say, just a little be
fore, leading spirits will be develoji
cd; certain men will take the lead,
and the weaker men Tvill in a short
time, unless the get all the loaves
and fishes, denounce the whole!
thing as a machine, and, to show
how thoroughly they detest the ma
chine in politics, will endeavor to
organize a little machine themselves.
General Garfield has been in poli
ties for many vears. lie knows the
principal men in both parties; be
knows the men who have not only
done something but w ho are capa
ble of doinir some thing, and such
men wii! not. in my opinion be
neglected. I do not believe that
Genera! Garfield will do any act
calculated to divide the Republican
party. No thoroughly great man
carries personal prejudices into the
administration ol puokc allair.
Of course thousands of people will
be prophesying that this man
is to tiesnu!)! ed and another to Ik?
paid, but, in my judgment, after the
Itli of March most people will sav
that General Garfield lias used his
power wiselv, and that lie has
neither sought nor shunned men
simply because 1 c wished to pay
debts, either love or hatred."
Anol tier Link to the I'onnpiraey.
The scheme has been hatched.
There is no longer any doubt about
the policy of the leaders of the lo!t-
crs. I hoy are eleternuned to ruin
the Republican party, now that
their plan to control it has been
frustrated. Mr. Gro-v is, and has
been, of no account to them. Thev
have masqueraded under his name
sufficiently long to bring him t
that degree of disrepute among all
Republicans that they will glidlv
cc him dropped out of sight. Hiv
ing brought Mr. Grow to this hu
miliating po-ition, and inveigled a
number of members into bolting by
telling them what a grand thing it
is to be an anti-Cameron, an anti
Quiv. an anti-machine or an anti-
something elso f-llow, these leaders
are now ready to launch their latest
scheme. Under tlie direction of Mr.
Wharton Rake., a Philadolphian
who lias made some money by sell
ing stocks and shaving notes, an
independent organization is to be
formed to control the Republican
party. As Mr. Raker has the tnoncv
to hire the brains and the present
leaders of the bolters possess the
necessary malignity, there is elangor
that the scheme may succeed. The
plan is to form an independent or
ganization within the party that
shall nominate candidates for the
party accept. If the party does not
yield to the dictation of this organi
zation it will run independent can
didates m opposition to the norm
nees of the regular convention. Mr.
Wedfe. it is understood, to salve him
for his failure to sceuc the endorse
ment of the bolters for the present
vacancy in the L. S. Senate-, is to te
the candidate of the bolters in 1SS4.
According to the programme he is
to canvass personally each county
during the nominating pcrioel, and
then go before the people as the
independent, or bolter's, candidate
for Senator. This is in brief the
history ef the -origin and objects
of the recent Fecreit conference among
the leaders of the bolters. The facts
as narrated cannot be disputed and
show as conclusively as can be
shown that the loading kickers arc
for no one but themselves are de
termined to rule the Republican
party for their own aggrandizement
or ruin it. llamMninj Jetcrrajii.

Several of tlie seven arc men of
tine ability in their professions, but
not a single one combines in himself
the qualifications demanded by the
drow aeilres of one week ago. Mr.
Ravne has net shone in Congress,
Mr. .Shiras is a fine lawyer, but to
tally without IjCgislative expe-rience.
Mr. Wolfe's history and ediaracter
are wtl! known to those who have
kept up with tlie history of the leg
islature of Penna., during the last
halfdozen years. Senator Stewart
is an Kbie lawyer, but without special
experience a a legislator. Mr.
Wharton is a Piiladeiphian, known
to ponsoes a "bari," which seems to
be tho only reason known why his
name is mentioned tn this connec
tion. Of Mr .('row it is not noes-
sarv to sneak. Mr. MacVeagh ir. all
thingsconsidered, the ablest man of
tlie lot, but the chief trouble with
nun is that it is alwavs necessary
to inquire Mie opening of a cam
paign whether he is for or againfct
tne Jjepuoncan party. After nieir
experience with Mr. Kdgar Cowan,
the Republicans of Pa., do not desire
to be represented in the Senate of
tbe United States by a man who
cnunot be seconded upon to act
with his party on party questions.
Of course, the projiosal for a com
promise will not be entertained by
the Oliver men. They have a can
didate and they propose to adhere to
him until all c hance of electing hini
is gone.

Had Mr. Grow's friends entered
the Republican caucus, and carrieel
off the prize of the Senatorship, he
certainly should have had tlie sup
port of our Senator and member.
They would have been derelict to
theirdutyas Republicans if they had
acted otherwise. Rut when the Grow
men refused to go into a Republican
caucus, and threatened to bolt the
caucus nomination, our member
Mr. Holman, did only what every
true and upright Republican should
do refuse to sustain or vote for a
bolter.
Mr. Holmes "voices" the senti
ment of the Republicans of this
county when he sustains the party
nomination. I cannot be otherwise,
for the true Republicans of the
county would not counsel a destruc
tion of this organization by bolting
when a nomination eloes not please
the unsuccessful party. Mr. Holmes

Smith and Catherine Miller werci
executed this morning in the jail at
this place. Aoout 2 o clock Rev. J.
A. Rright, of Jersey Shore, visited
Smith in the condemned cell. At
Smith's request, the sacrament was
administered, after which lie seemed
m excellent spirits. The night wa3
spent by both prisoners in religious
exercises, e.nd they were much per
turbed in mind this morning. Smith,
however, said he was prepared to
die, and then, shaking of Mrs. Mil
ler, ins accomplice, stated that she
was fully as much to blame as he.
and that he murdered Miller at her
solicitation. A. statement to this ef
fect was preparet! anil read from the
scaffold. At 11 o'clock the prisoners
were led irom tlie cells, heard tlie
death sentence read, and then pro-ce-eded
to the scaffold, accompanist!
Ity their religious advisers and the
lieri'f and his deputies. As thev
approached the gallows, the woman
showed such evident signs of weak
ness that those who were with her
were compelled to assist her in as
cending tlie steps. Smith also was
greatly distressed, and exhibited un
equivocal signs of physical and
mental weakness. 15eing placed in
position uion the scafibld, the black
cap was adjusted ant! the noose fit
ted around their necks. Ik-ligious
exercises were then begun, and be
fore they were well finished the trap
was sprung, at 11:20 a, m. There
was scarcely any perceptible strug
gle by cither, aud no mishap accur
red of any kind. Several huudred
persons w ere assembled in the jail
yard to witness the execution.
The crime for which Mrs. Miller
and Geo. Smith were executed to
day was committed on March 18th
la"st, at Jersey Shore, Pa. Andrew
Miller, the woman's husband, was
discovered hanging to a beam in his
barn, w ith his skull crushed in.
After an investigation, the coroner's
jury found that he met his death at
the hands of Oeo. Smith and that
Catherine Miller, hi wife, and
Smith's paramour, was an accessory
beth be-fore and after the fact Both
subsequently confessed, but even up
to the last moment each accused
the either of having planned the

(FiM OrB SrOTlAL UOKKKaroXDZNT.)
Wasuinkton, Feb. 4, ISril.
There seems to be a possibility
of trouble ahead in counting the
electoral vtte on the 9th of February.
The democrats trice; their , best to
adopt a joint ruta to govern the
court, and by force make the Repub
licans take that or nothing, but
they slipjiexl' uiron mssing it for
want of a quorum of their own in
the House. It may be remarked
in this connection that the majority
in tliis Congress seem . to have a ca
pacity for. making a jtreat many
things, but their most ablo anil
herculean efforts have always been
devoted to make a quorum. They
can and elo make appropriations ;
they can and do make the country
grin ; they can and elo make asses
of themselves, individually ami ced
lectivcly, with the greatest ease ; but
tho "greatest efforts of their lives"
is that ofmakiug a ouoruui of
themselves. Once in a great while
they achieve one, but such is tlie
wear and tear to which the individ
ual intellects are subject on such ec-!
casions that most of them shrink!
from the perils of close contact with
their fellows in tho close commr.n
im with the cold tea of the House
restaurant which n "full"r House in-'
involves.
Hence it is, when a great f(uestion
involving a great principle comes up,
that the able ii cubators of the great
question aforesaid and the great
principle therein embodied have
such elifficulty in corralling a quo
rum. These attempts to do so dur
ing the past few weeks, beside af
fording a grcaa deal of amusement
to the country, have, it mut be said
to the credit of Ranelall it Co., grati
fied the curiosity of .their tcllow
members by vouchsafing them a
chance to become familiar with the
faces of those two eminent Wall
street operators, Tom Ewing and
James O'Brien. So last Tuesday
was set for the great rally. The
party lash was applied and warning
sent out that something must be
done or the Republicans through
Vice President Wheeler would count
in Garfield t Arthur -without the
assistance of the Rrig.nliers. The
absent Democrats rallied in furce,
so did the Republicans with lunches
in their pockets to stay. The gal
leries were crowded with anxious
faces to witness the death struggle
of the great and glorious Democra tic
majority. Rlackbnrn was early on
tho ground. Conger put in an ap
pearance with his hand in a sling
which kind of agitated the Briga
diers as they had hoped he was so
badly hurt by a fall on the ice that
he could not be there to take a hand.
Blaine stopped in for a minute to
give Conger a point or two then
skipped back to the Senate to keep
that end of the capitol straight. The
hour arrived. The Republicans
looked kind of shaky for they knew
the Democrats were in the city to
beat them if Randall could only cor
rall them in the house. Mr. House.
chairman of the Democratic ccucus.
adjusted his gold spectacles and took
a survey ef the empty seat3 on his
ide. Consultation with the Ser-
g'-ant-at-arms took place. John G.
clinched his first and made a run
for a restaurant across the street.
Soon he returned and reported every
thing just lovely. Up popped the
silver haired gentleman, Ricknell,
with his ioint resolution. Ilandall
recognized him quickly and was
just awful glad to see him. The
gavel banged for a minute. The
aisles in the House and area in front
of the speaker's chair were cleared
while perfect order was demanded!
Mr. Ricknell demanded the previous
question. It was seconded prompt
ly by some one. Mr. Conger raised
the point on the question of con
sideration. The chair decided of
course against him. He appealed
from this decision and was eicfeated
of course as only a majority of the
members was necessary to accom
plish this. Up popped Blount of
Ga., who moved to lay Conger' a
pcal on the table. A jangle took
place, Conger got the floor and Rol
eson of Xew Jersey made a telling
speech. iow leir a vote. Here is
where the Republicans got the Dem
ocratic majority into atran made by
one of their "own crowd and held
them there for five long hours, anel
as Reagan, of Texas, put in "they
ran up hill to slide right down."
Congtr's tactics, if I understood
them correctly were for the Repub
licans rot to vote on the motion to
lay on the table am! then raise the

On Friday ; (this being what is
known as private bill day ) I of course
went' to 'tlfe" Houe eajlery to watch
how the Democratic majority got
along with the calendar.
As soon as I got fairly seateel I
saw there was "11om1 in tho moon."
The Brigadie r were iu consultation.
Conger was oa 'picket"' m usual
keeping his eve on what w:.3 going
on. Thw ' quie'ted my nerve to a
eon-iielcrablo exte nt for I kne
the
Union was safe when he is about.
The first bill to be acted upon in
regular order was one restoringMark
Walker to his former rank in the
army and authorizing the President
to put hi in on the re-tired list, lie
was dismissed f. r drunkenness.
1 hat settled it an I los mil passed,
. X tie next one culm! r.;sel the
very old scratch. It was for tin- re
lief of the widow of Captain Page,
of the United States Xavy, for the
huge balance of 13S,So, duo that
gentleman when he resigned his
commission nt tho beginning of the
rebelliem in order to cast his fortuned
with his native State, (Virginia.)
Mr. Goode the man from tlie Xor
feilk district opened the ball with a
statement in be half of the widow
.. . ..
and with the usual indiscretion of
the Brigadier when he refers to the
"wnh, said that Captain Pare was
too okl at the time to enter tho ser
viee. but that lie (I'age w ould not,
if alive, thank anybeidy for saying
that he would not have pone into
the service of his native State had
he been physiendly fit to do so.
Mr. Longer eippose I the hill and
drew a picture of Captain Pago rais
ing the sworel, which had been given
him by his country, to strike down
that country. ( Laughter on the
Democratic sid donghfaccs joining
with but few exceptions.)
Mr. Conger. Gentlemen laugh
ind sneer; perhaps thev did the
same, i do neit envy th smite
that gathers over tlie faces of some
gentlemen on tho other side the
nme of derision at the picture 1
have daiwn. It is a becoming ex -
hibition of the contortions of which
fie human face is cipable under
adverse circumstances.
( fAiu'rhteron the Republican side.)
Mr. Conger continuing, said that
lie hael never heard of a proposition
to repeal a statute which prevented
the payment of the pemling claim,
except the remarks of the eentlcman
from Kentucky (Mr MackburnJ,
made inadvertantly, he believed, that
when the Democrats obtained con
trol of both Houses and the Presi
dency they would repeal tho laws,
"which, and which, and which ttc.
This brought Brigadier Joe to his
feet and a long and running coloquy
ensued between him and Conger as
to what hedid say about the "wiping
out" of eibnoxious laws from the
statute liook in which Conger floored
him unmercifully.
Tho scene got exciting. Old man
Wright, from Pa., declared if the
friends of the pending bill would
withdraw it from tho calendar he
would give the woman a check for
the amount.

Gen. Bragg,
(Democrat) of Wis -
consm, who com mam

Iron Rrigade" from that State dur
ing the war said that lie had been
charmed with the beauties of the
speech of his friend from Xew York

question as being a question of prin

any generalities. lie compared this

bravely on Lake Erie. It had been

that was another thing.

Mr. Bragg. There was that law
recognized everywhere that lie who
deserts his country's flag in the
hour of peril is entitled to no re
spect from that country afterwards
anless what she may give him by
gratuity. 1 should say that the
gentlemen whe broke the Constitu
tion and fled from it are not the
men to hold up before me. I am
anxious never to hear again the
subject of the Southern rebellion ; I
would fain wipe it out for ever from
my eye-sight and my memory, and
I say to my friends in the South
who ask the people to do this, "Do
not continue it on the claims cal
endar of this. I louse, anel keep it a
live issue by constantly endeavoring
to get from the Treasury something
which involves the discussion of the
rebellion." The difi'ererieo lies pre
cisely there. It ii in vain you ask
the people of the North to close
their eyes when their ears listen
continually to the nipping at the
Treasury door. I say let tlie rebell
ion sleep where it dot"? sleep.
Mr. Ilawlev said that if he were
asked whether he were willing to
pay the claim of a widow of a useful
officer he should very likely make
no objection : but when gentlemen
presented bills of this description,
anel said that they were as gooel a
tU-ht a any represented by any
bond, and that nothing had been
done to forfeit any obligation which
the Government was under, he was
disposed to resist it During the
war somebody was right and some
body wa? wrong; somebody won,
som ebody lost. The Fourteenth
Amendment was the judgement of
the Nation on that subject.
Mr. Goenle inquired whether the
gentleman held that the Government
had a right to visit Captain Page's
sin upon his widow and children.
Mr. Ilawley replied that Captain j
Page had virtually committed the ;
crime of treason, and that if he fell
a hair short of it, it was on account
of his 0 d age.

Pension Arrearage.
Washington, January 24. The
Commissioner tf Ikmsions estimates
that the total cost to the country of
the Arrearages Act will be the enor
mous sum of $521.UXM"0. This is
over $200,000.1 K X) more than has
beon previously estimated. In the
letter to Senator Davis, of Wist Vir
ginia, Chairman of theCommitteeon
Appropriations, m which the Com
missioner communicates this start
ling information, he savs that erne
tenth of the claims made for arrear
ages aro fraudulent. He has not the
means nnder the present law to de
tect and punish the perjietrators of
the IraudH. I lie Pension. Appropn-
ation Bill is now pending lietorethe
Senate Appropriations Committee
and before it is report eel some amend
ment will be dcvihctl to at least pre
vent the lieive'rnment from beins
swindled. The Pension Arrearage.-
Act will forever remain a atuixmdous
monument of Democratic stupidity
and folly. The act was passed with
out proper consideration in a anasm
of nnti.eleotton sentimentality.
While the Democrats in Congress
have hardly devised one measure for
the relief of taxpayers in tlie Arrear
ages Act, they have imposeel a bur
den on the country amounting with
in a few niillitms of the one-fourth
! of the principle of the public debt.
