The bill on the subject of Revolutionary PEN
sioas, has al length passed the House OF Repre-
'sentafives, after having received variety OF
notifications. Much dlherance of opinion exis-
ted upon the amendments which ere.proposed,
both 10 reduce the amount and to restrict It's
benefciaries, and the principle which has been
adopted, was accepted as a compromise OF opin-
ion. II was decided by large majority MOI 10
repeal The lau. II is difficult topFedtct what will
be the final issue of the strict scrutiny under
which it is now passing, that there have been
abuses in the present law, and that those abuses
call loudly for redress, is not and cannot be
doubted we refer TO the proceedings OF Con-
gfess for the particulars of the new bill. Con
gress seem 10 be possessed with a wonderful zeal
for retrenchment this session, but truly it appears
to us to.be exhassting itself in correcting small
issues and expences, while large ones are still
suffered TO exist and increase 1t Is we'll 10
check little abuses, but this does not much avail,
if immense expenditures and appropriations Con
tnue TO be made in every other department OF
Government. They may reduce the number Of
the Printers of their Laws, from 10 to 20-the,
may make only paupers, subjects OF their Pension
fund; take away the pen knives, and portion
81 the stationary OF their members, and diminish
their contingent expence but what wall It all
amount to J. While every office at the capital rs
overlooking with clerks-thousands wasted IA
negligent or fraudulent contracts, or talked away
ia long aud useless speeches or lost by the
fraud OF the agents OF government, or squandef-
ed in objects OF limited advantage. Let not
Congress practise exclusively upon the adase
" take care OF the pence, and the pounds wiil
take care of themselves but let them keep an
eye upon the pounds, and not satisfy their con-
sciences by parsimonious retrenchment in tri-
fes while matters OF higher importance are wink
ed at or passed unnot,ced. Congress keep IN
continual vibration from extravasanoe to re-
trenohment as soon as there Is any surplus mon
ey in the treasury, their invention Is at work to
find means to spend IT but as soon as the trea-
sufer reports deficit, a cry ii alarm is heard,
aud violent reaction lakes place, aud govern
ment through all its departments feels The shock.
The truth 10 there is "a want Of system Ia the adj
ministration OF our finances, system which shall
operate steadily IN every change Of our fiscal
concerns.
