persons who receive Military Pensions from the u

appropriating funds for the payment of those pen

Ina, the appropriation will not be made in time to
meet the semi annual payments due on that day.
is therefore advisable that those concerned should

Bhle LighhsThe editor of the Boston Daily Advertiser
speaking of Harrison Gray OTIS that celebrated member OF
the constellation oil Blue Lights who met Hartford, Dec
Is, 1874 externally to disgrace themselves and who has
declined being the tory candidate for Governor the
election in Massachusetts,, says" We have always had the
highest of his fitness tor the Offices of his elevated
character and the proofs he has given of his devotedness

the gaows been robbed of its due 1t would be more
paradoxcal talk of the holiness of the sr than to talk
Of the dcrotedlss The public welfare" Of the fellows
who composed the Hartford Convention. Twas well for
Mr.. Otis that he declined When politician is sunk in

main in his obscuty TO attempt to rise, would only be

gmmer of be lights, and coming into the glorious mer
dian spendor OF genuine Repubcanism and trust she
will regard the vreches who have raised the dag
ger to destroy their country-but with scorn and contempt
and ignomny.
MIR. Harker, yoar mere denial of the charge of
asserting at Dover that Mr.. Rodney had taken
out goods on consignment and that Custom
House officer told you 500 will not do. You know
that you can no more clear yourself OF the charge,
than you create world. We have in our pos
session that, which were we TO publish, would ex-
pose you to the world as very prince Of liars. We
repeat 1t, and defy you to prove 10 the contrary,
that you busted yourself at Dover during the late
session Of the Legislature, in attempts 10 defame
the character of our Minister TO Buenos Ayr=s.
You there said in company, that " Mr.. Rodney had
taken out goods on consignment; - and when af-
forwards questioned on the subject by member of
the legislature who was present when you made
the assertion, you repeated it and when asked by
him what authority you had for making il, you
told him you had your information from Custom
House 0ticer.''
The assertion is a lie, whether Of your own ma
king or not. And if government has in her employ
an officer SO contemplate and dishonorable as TO
SANDER the name of one of her Ministers, whose
conduct has been irreproaehable and who could
SO to,cer himself as to mahe use of YOU to propa-
gate the SANDER, his name ought TO be given up,
that he may be dealt with according to his desert.
Are you dependant Of Custom House Officer ?
If not, why act so cowartly 4

WATSON, who encloses us Copy of Com.
Porter's charges against Lieut.. Kennon and
comments upon the conduct of the Secretary
Of the Navy, will now see how unnecessary il
10 to publish them-as Mr.. Alexander's reso
luton, calling for Copy of the proceedings,
&c has been adopted by the II. Of R.-The
Secretary is about TO lay them before Con-
gress with long Expose of the circumstances
OF the case and the reasons of his conduct.
We would consult the feelings of Mr.. Southland
as much as possible: Yet he has an arduous
office to fulfil. He has to cleanse the Augean
stable, whose filth has been gathering for some
years under the administration ofincompetent
predecessors. Young as Ike is, he has to nut
his shoulders To the wbeel--tO correct abuses
which have been committed or overlooked by
officers whose age and reputation are greater
than his own. Is he aware, that Young Of
ficer from the Pacific AYERS that merchandise
has been exposed to sale on the deck Of our
public ships, which was prohibited in the port
where il was sold, and in defiance of the regu.
lations of the country? Is he aware that a
late expedition to those seas has been made a
complete mercantile adventure, instead of n
cruiZe for public objects? that ships have been
sent there, and taken under the protection of
an officer, and enabled to sell out at Immense
proft) prohibited articles under his very guns /?
1t is believed, that all these things are known
to the department, and unless smothered mp,
will he made known in all their details TO the
public.-mr. Southland will sleep upon a bed
Of tborns, unless his " mind rises TO the level
Of the occasion" If he succeeds in reforming
the abuses of this great arm IF our defence,
the plaudits Of grateful country will attend
hm-and her shield will guard him from the
vengeance of his enemies. Ifhe shrtnIs, not
even the favor of the President can save him
but an indignant nation will hurl him from
his station.
