Under the heading of Increase of Pen
sions, The New York Independent of Jan
uary 21st inst. say. : The Pension roll, as
shown by the report of the Pension Office,
in 1881, numbered 268,830 pensioners. In
1882 the number rose to 285,69a, to 303,6o
in 1883, to 822,766 in 1884, and lor the year
ending on tbe 80th of last June, to 845,125
pensioners. The last report of the Pension
Office shows that, while 162258 name, were,
during the year, dropped from the roll, 85,
768 new names were added to the roll, with
out counting the reinstatement..
The increase of pensioner, in four year.
amounU to nearly thirty per cent. The an
nual value or pensions, four year, ago, was
$28,769,967 and it is now $38,090,985,
showing an increase or more than $UJ,uov,
OUU during these fonr years.
The increase of pensioner, and ol the
amount of pension, to be paid, en the basis
of tbe law as it now standa, baa by o means
reached it. msxiam point. It is estimated
that, without any larger legislation, thi.
increase will rise to between 425,000 and
600,000 pensioners and that the annual pay
ment, exclusive of payments under the Ar
rears Pension Act, will rise to between $44,
UW.000 and $50,000,000. The Arrears Act
itself created an ultimate liability, which is
variously estimated at between $254,000,000
and $524,600,000. The Government ia now
annually .pending in pension payment..
more than sixty million dollar.
It is now twenty-one year, since the War
was ended, and far the larger number of the
soldiers and sailor, who were engaged
tbe War, and who, if living Would be enti
tied to pensions, have already died ; and the
same is true of the widow, whom they left
at tbeir death. Now, we submit that this
large increase of the pension list within the
last four yean, looks suspicious. It creates
a strong probability that a great many name.
have been placed on the list that ought not
to be there at all, not necessarily by any col
Insion, or even negligence, of the Pension
Office, but as tbe consequence of undetect
ed deception and fraudulent papers. Tbe
law, aa it now stands, fnrnishea an ahnnrfant
opportunity for such deceptions; and pen
sion agents, especially those in Washington,
are too sharp-sighted not to see their oppor
tunity and improve it. They make it a bus
iness to get np pension claims in all parts of
tne country, and then get them through the
Pension Othce, expecting to reap large prof.
its there from.
The Government haa been enormously
swindled through its Peision system, ; and
it is high time that Congress took some elfi.
cient steps to put an end to this swindling,
we believe In extending the most generous
liberality to the soldiers and sailors who
fought to save tbe Union ; bat we do not
believe in swindling tbe people under the
disguise of such liberty. Nor do we be
lieve in a reckless and extravagant pension
system, in order to catch the soldier vote
of the country for party purpose., which
haa been the political sin of Democrats and
uepublican. alike. Far too much of our
Pension legislation haa had no other motive
behind it.
A Large Party.
Last Thursday night was a night of such
beauty and splendor as not to be forgotten
soon by those who were fortunate enough
to be out, and who bad time to appreciate
Tbo elements of nature all seemed to
combine to make it pleasant for all living
things which were exposed to the weather.
The sleighing waa fine, the temperature of
the weather was moderate, and the white
ness of the row-co ered land vino waa
not unlike burnished silver under the brl'bt
and silvery ravs of a moon that had scarce
ly commenced its wane. The view to be
obtained in tbe narrow valley of the Lick
ing Creek, between Patterson and Port
Royal, by moonlight, appeared to be grand
lib Herring Bone ridge bristling with
host, of sollly soughing pines and tbe dark
and tippling creek flowing at its base. But
alter having passed through Old Port Roy
al and taking the main road toward Spruce
Hili, Turbett township appeared before ns
like a silvery map, fences, trees and build
ing, all could be distinctly seen at a great
iatance dotting tbe snow-covered land
scape. The Tuscarora Mountain loomed
up on tbe southern border of tbe township
like a great, gray wall, it. .Ides bad not yet
been lit up by the ray. of the moon, and
Mecbanicsburg could be plainly seen nest
ling close to the foot of the mountain. But
we were nearing our destination, which was
the home of Joseph Graham, on his fath
er's (arm, about three mile. Irom Port Roy-
Tbe house i. situate in a sheltered
nook, facing the sonth and Tuscarora
Mountain, about three baeitird yards sonth
of the main road, and on tbe road to I exes-
burg, Perrr county. We had come in res
ponse to an invitation to spend the evening
in social entertainment. The majority of
the young people present were from Port
Royal and vicinity, but the writer and ev
eral others who were fortunate enough to
be favored with an invitation were from the
county seat. We were among the last to
arrive and the guests bad dispensed with
all unnecessary and out door wraps sod were
enpying themselves in various wsys. The
arty was large and was composed of many
of the best people of Port Royal and vicini-
and it was soon evident that we were
oing to bare a very pleasant time. Re
freshments were served about nine o'clock,
and every one present appeared to partake
of them with a relish, and well they might,
for they were good and nicely served. Af
ter refreshments had been served tbe par-
proceeded to entertain themselves,
which they were able to do pleasantly. We
stepped out on the piazza on the sonth side
of tbe house and looked in silence toward
Tuscarora Mountain, which is not more
tbsn one mile distant, and while looking
n thn vrand work of nature, we heard in
the distance, the ' too whoo, whoo hoo,"j
of the large hoot owl, and we thought
of how short a time ago tbe red
men inhabited that part of the coun
try, we wondered whether Alfaretta. the
Indian maiden, in company with her sisters
bad wandered away from the "Blue Juni
ata" into Turbett township, then a howling
wilderness, or ever crossed the Indian path
which crosses the mountain through Jen
ney's Gap, warcely a mile distant, but
nothing but the silence of the night answer
ed our thoughts, and we again entered tbe
hospitable home of Mr. Graham. The time
so pleasantly spent within passed away very
quickly, and we soon found it was time to
leave for our respective homes, reeling tbs
we bad spent one of the grandest evenings
of our lite, thanking Mr. Graham for his
hospitality, we bade him good night. Tbe
drive borne through tbe moonlight could
not drive away tbe pleasant thoughts of
the party, and all the next day, with the
silence of a printing office about ns, w
could not dispell (and we did not try) the
pleasant feeling caused by attending a par
ty gotten op by our sister town Tort Royal.

Poet Royal, January 23, 1886
a. Enrroa : In one of the public jour
nals of your town, a communication ap
peared laat week that purported to have
beeo written here, as the minutes of the
meeting oi an association of seventy of the
married women of this town. It was a cross
slander on the wive, and mother, of Port
Hoyal, and tbeir husbands and sons and
daughters, feel a if an effort bad been de
liberately made to belittle the family circle,
and domestic life, of the people of the town.
by a good for nothing, worthies, person
should be permitted to have the use of tbe
columns of newspaper to draw such scan-
aaions pen pictures of communitr of
Christian people is hard to account for.
There is no mora peaceful communitr in
the Commonwealth than this. The domes
tic relationship and family circle ia as bar-
monioua here as anywhere else among tbe
same number, of people, and there Is no
town of iu size that has larger churches and
more harmonious congregations. Our
schools compare favorably with schools or
more pretentious place, and no communi
ty can be freer of startling scandala than
Port Royal baa been, all or which proves
that wbat the communication under consid
eration says ia not true. Tbe communica
tion hold, np the married women of this
town aa a pack of threw. ShaAne, shame.
on the man who would write and publish
such an article about respectable people.
There is not one decent thought expressed
in the communication. It ia tbe product of
a co. rse unworthy person. It is the kind
of literature that ahould But find ita way,
to decent and respectable family circles. It
is the kind of a communication that causes
mothers and husbands to say "don't bring
such a paper into tbe house." The com-
minication may have been written in this
town, but I have serious donbta abont it.
An effort is being made to find out who it is
that so slandered tbe womanhood of Port
Royal. If bo ia found out he will learn how
the husbands and win. and daughters, of
slandered wives and mothers will treat a
slanderer.
