AN ARREST FOR COMPLETELY IN FORCING PEN
SION APERs IN FAIRFAX COUNTY, VA-The Com
missioner of Pensions, says the Washington Star
OF Monday, has caused the arrest of Charles A.
Arundel. of Fairfax county, Va, on a charge OF
presenting a copy of an altered record of that
county, the alteration being to bring the marriage
of his mother within the limit of time In which
she would be- entitled to the arrearages of pension
paid to her (over 5000 as the widow of reyolu.
tionary soldier, IL seems that the marriage took
place in 1894, when she would not have been emit
tied. The record stood so, and was surrep,itiously
altered as to make it appear that the marriage
took place in 1893. There is no question of the
acls of the alteration, which shows plainly enough
when closely examined. The marriage certificate
return on which the entry Yves originally made
10 preserved, and itself proves the forgery charged
to have been perpetrated C. A Arundel was the
attorney managing the csse and presented the GER
t6cate OF the correctness of the forged entry The
Bureau claims to have evidence, we understand
proving that Arundel was aware that the mar
riase was 10 1874, not In 1793 and therefore pre-
sented the paper with the full knowledge OF its
fslsity. An United States deputy marshal of Viz
ginis passed through this city yesterday, with the
prisoner in charge, en- route for Richmond While
hare, Arundel had an interview with the Commits
soner and protested to be entirely ignorant of the
charge against him.

PRESIDENTIAL TICKETS FOR lS56-The
New York Herald gets up the following;
According to the new phase thrown upon
the political parties of the country by the
Virginia election, the following will probably
be the prominent opposing candidates for the
presidency in 1856:
National Democracy HeryA. Wise, of Va,
or Fernando Wood OF New York.
Know Nothings-George Law, of N. Y, or
Hon. Mr.. Don't know who.
Nigger Worshippers or Northern Dsun-
ionists-W. II. Seward of New York, or
Somebody else.
Massachusetts Mixed Ticket-For Presi
dent, Hon. Joseph Hiss. Vice President
Mrs. Patterson.
1t will thus be seen that New York, MS
heretofore will hold II prominent position in
the coming campaign. She may have one
perhaps two, oreven three presidential heroes
in the field. In this view what are our Know
Notlings about? viii they stick to Law and
his live oak platform, or fall back from Vir

DROUGHT IN l.oUIsIANA.-On "Wednesday
last, at Baton Rouge, the thermometer rose
to 80 deg. in the shade, and, MS the Comet
says, "threatened to 20 higher" The Advo.
cate says:
The wells are all dried up, the cisterns
exhausted, even the old pond is innocent of
any spot of moisture, out ut the penitentary.
Wherefore, they are diligently engaged in
hauling water for that institution from the
old paternal source of aqueous bounty, the
Mississippi.
The Alexandria Republican Of the 10th has
the following paragraphs:
The river is lower here now than II has
been this year. Unless there is n change
soon, the large boats will be banished from
the trade.
The town is now being supplied with
water from the springs on the other side
of the river. Price per barrel, two dol
lars.
If we do not have a good soaking rain
within week, there can not possibly be any
thing like fourth of corn crop made, and
the consequence will inevitably be productive
of great suffering and distress-almost starv-
ation-among the inhabitants of our Pine
Woods and upland lands, while the planters
on our rich alluvals will be hardly put to it to
get along.

rights of married women. The law took effect
Immediately after its pubication:--Any mar.
ried woman whose husband either from
drunkenness, profigacy, or from nny other
cause, shall neglect or refuse to provide for
her support, or for the support and education
OF her children, shall have the right, in her
own name, to transact business, and to re.
ceive and collect her own earnings and the
earnings OF her minor children, and apply the
same for her own support and the support
and education of such children, free from the
control and interference of her husband, OF
any person claiming the same, or claiming to
be released from the same, by or through her
husband: Provided, That it II is denied by
plea, that either of the causes, enumerated il
this act, rs emitting the married woman tt
| sue in her own name, exists in point of fact
then the issue upon this plea shall be triet
and determined by the jury trying the case

AN ADVENTURE WITH LIoSs IN INDIA
On the evening of the l4th Of March, two
large lions were shot in the immediate vi.
cinity of the environments ut Deesa. Al
about four o'clock in the afternoon, some
native brought the intelligence that two
strange animals had been near Old Oeesa, and
that none of the people knew whnt kind Of

SUPERIORITY OF AMERICAN lRoN.-lt is
clearly established, says the Buffalo Democ-
racy, in spite OF some OF our profession office
seekers who have sought to give the English
the prestige OF making the best iron, that
American is better than the British. On the
Reading road, where careful examination
have been recorded, and with tonnage un-
surpassed by any railroad on the globe, ,Zerah
CoDurn says it is found that American iron
wears out but from one-third to one-haf as
fast AS English iron. The average of six
years wear of 60 ID. English rail was above
eleven per cent annually. The average oi
four years wear of the "Erie" (Englisll) pat
tern, was sixteen per cent annually. In Amer.
lean rolled and pig iron the same general SUI
periorily is observable. The American pig is
both harder and tougher.

Another OUTRAGE IN. KASsAs.-Lynct
Lav.-The Rochester Democrat has the fol-
lowing account Of another outrage in Kansas:
On tile nth inst, Mr.. Phillips, lawyer,
was decoyed to the banks Of the Missouri
river, whore he was suddenly seized and
forced into sklf, ard carried across the river
into Missouri-thence he was taken seven
miles to Weston. l
An old warehouse stands Just below the
town; he was taken there, his head was
shaved, his face blacked, he was tarred and
.eathered, and then ridden upon n rail through
the streets of Weston, while music horrible
and hldeons accompanied the procession.
Before the hotel they exhibited him; and
then negro was compelled to sell him to the
lowest bidder, nnd they offered to him every
insult in their power.
After OBTAINING him several hours In this
manner, repeatedly telling him that IL he
would not leave the territory, or give them
his promise in writing that he would leave
they would hang him. He having steadily
and firmly refused, they let him loose. His
brother, who had come from Leavenworth
after him, took him into carriage, and late
In the afternoon started for Leavenworth.
II seems that the offence of Mr.. Phillips Is
that he is free soler. And It is pretended
by the pro.slavery men that he handed McCrea
the revolver with which Macom Clark was
killed. This is probably false, as responsible
men declare that Phillips did not at oil inter.
fere in the matter .a
