The Pension LAws.-The special conespon-
dent of thu New York Herald. writes from Wash
ington, that the new Secretary of the Interior,
McClel!and, has decided that upon the death of q
soldiers widow, the nsion reverts TO his children
and there stops. The following are the facts of a
recent decision made as here alluded to:
''The law in question provides that in case OF
the death of the widow of soldier, then the pen
sion shall revert to the deceased soldiers children
There the law stops; but Secretary Thomas Ew-
ing decided that, although the act of Congress
goes no further than to the children, the common
law steps in and carries the pension to any other
heirs This decision has governed the matter since.
Governor McClelland the present Secretary Of the
INTERIOR has, however, decided that this construc-
ton of the law is wong. If the pension law had
passed previous to the enlistment and service OF
the soldier, then it would have fomed part oil
his emolument for service, and as such would
come under the provision of the common law, like
any other property, to the extent even of being
liable for his debts. But it was law passed after
the service had expired and formed no part of the
contract for service. The pension is simply a
gratuity gwen by Congress after the go. ernme mt
had fulfilled all its agreement and duty towards
the soldiers, and us such can only be used to the
extent the terms of the act authorize, and no fur
Their. This cuts off large number OF claimants
but the decision is maniestly in accordance with
law"

"THE DEMOCRATIC REVIEW. "

The Washington Union is out in some deserved
IL severe structures upon the so-called Democratic
Roviaw This periodical was once sound and re-
liable and was regarded with pride by the Democ-
,acy generally as faithful exponent of Democratic
nrnciples. For the last twelve months, however,
it has been wandering in strange and new paths.
1t has assailed many of the prominent and hon
ored members of the party, because they refused
to subscribe to its peculiar Doctrines and 1t now
seeks to commit the party, for which it has no
right to speak, to line of policy In relation to
Cuba that would, if followed, not only injure the
fair name of the Republic but PROSTATE the party
for wears to come. 1t says, broadly, that Cuba
must be taken possession of by the United States
that the island will inevitably fall into our hands,
and it might as we'll be laid hold of now! This
the Washington Union justly denounces as "buc-
cancer morality"
We are for Cuba at the right time and in the
right way. The prize, it is true, is gttering and
a tempting one; but treaties must not be broken
good faith the bond" we are under to respect
the claims of a nation with which we are at peace,
must be observed. Leaning on our shores, and
"laving her beautiful feet in the sea, the superb
slave still dreams in the sum-" When she wakes
to liberty, or when others stretch forth the hand
to obtain and WELD against this country the i'm
mense advantages which her resources and her po-
sition Afford then the hour for action by our gov
ernncut will have come. We sympathize most
deeply with the oppressed Cubans, and we should
hail with joy the independence of the island and
the consequent overthrow of Spanish rule. This
is the feeling, we are confident, of the whole Amer
lean people. But liberty, to be enjoyed, must be
won-won either in battle, or in a prolonged con-
test by the masses against aristocratic kingly
power.
We cordially concur with the Union when it
says: {" 1t is our ambition that the Republic shall
grow with the progress of natural development,
and not by the spasmodic effort of an ungoverna-
bic and destructive impulse. We wish its resour-
ccs to be developed and its dominion extended, not
by plum Ter and piracy, but by honest industry and
legitimate expansion. Therefore, whilst we abhor
the buccaneer morality and reprobate the insane
policy of the Democratic Review, we have yet been
the Jealous advocate of every measure contempla-
ting safe, rational, and honorable acquisition Of
territory"

THE TABLE EXPERIMENT.

The New York Commercial Advertiser has the
following on this subject:
In the family of friend Of ours several attempts
have been made to divine the of table-oving,
chafr-dancing, and other freaks of household fuTni-
ture, which form part Of the spritrapping exhibitions.
Last evening they succeeded perfectly. Standing
around small table, five six members of the fam
lily kept their hands upon lis surface for considera
Bile time, until the magnetic current between them
selves and the table was established.
They then found tt at by holding the hand a short
distance from the table, attraction remained IN full
force. The table, without being touched, thus
lifted, or made TO lean at angle of fortyfve
Degrees and subsequently, followed the operators to
some distance.
The table on which the young people experiment
ed was very small one. We presume that when
the experiment has been few times repeated, the
table will yield to the attractive force with ready
and wonderful agility. There can be no doubt that
it is magnetised, and if SO, each trial, believe,
will increase the power of attraction. This we take
it, solves the whole seeming mystery of the "spr-
tual " imposition which has been practised so long
upon the creduous and supelstitious.
The moving of tables by an unseen power has al
ways been accounted greater feat than the produce
ing of sound. ehave no doubt that the same agent
produce both effects. The imposture consists in
the pretence of supernatural intercommunications.
We hope TO hear that the key being discovered,
the whole imposition has come to an end. Of the
boldness OF the imposture have had, and have
given illustrations; and probably the rappers will
find some dupes even In spite of evidence of their
fraud"
The Wilmington Herald says:
The experiments alluded to in the above extract
have been tested here and with less ofsuccess.
Small pine tables under the influence of power
or other, cal it what you will, have been made 10
move from part of room to another, to stand
upon one or two legs, and to be controlled more or
less by the will. We have not yet these things
but upon the evidence of those who have, are
compelled to believe in the truth of the experiments.
We do not entertain the idea for moment that
the witnesses are either mistaken, wilIfully mis-
represent. guilty of collision In fact, in these
smart days we know what to disbeIieve. and are
almost prepared to swallow any theory however
strange or apparently impossible. This candid con-
fession, will, of course, provoke smile from those
superior intelligences who dismiss subject they
cannot comprehend with the brief exPletive g Hum
BUG,'' and dub those fools " who yield to the evil
dence of their senses, and disposed to give all
new theories trial in the search of TRUTH
