A not "Half Paid" Army officers widow writes
US from Washington moving appeal for further
donations of Public Money BY Congress in the shape
of Pensions for services rendered in the Mexican
War Apparently fearing that her own entreasy
will prove ineffective, she sOlicits of us "One of
those pithy editorials of yours the subject that
"will awake[nl Congress to its duty" Thus
urged, we feel impelled to say that We are opposed
to the Pension Systematically, irrevOcably. We
did favor, and still justify, the pensioning of our
Revolutionary soldiers simply for the reason that
they were paid mainly in Continental Money, Of
which hundred dollars would not buy breakfast
and which was never redeemed. 1t was not as
pensions, in the proper sense of that term, but a.
pay in the only practicable form, that we upheld
Revolutionary Pensions. To all Pensions for Mill.
tary services in this century, including the various
land stealing games practiced under the guise Of
giving Bounty Lands to Soldiers, we are inexoraby
hostile. They have been fruitful sources Of corrup-
ton, and one intermediate cause of our recent com.
mercial prostration. No more Of them!
Is it hard case, do you say, my lady. that the
widow of man who lost bis life fighting for his
country should not be supported outof the treasury
We answer-It is no harder than that the widows
of the gallant thousands who have lost their lives
prematurely by exposure to malaria and bilious
disorders in opening up and settling the Great West,
are not likewise supported. Our countrys bravest
and best army has ever been that which has fought
her battles against savage wildness and obstruction
against painless forests, unbridged rivers, treach
erous morasses, en-scummed brooks, shelteress
prairies and houseless territories. The widows of
this grand army are tens of thousands for every
hundred of the class which bOres Congress inces-
sanity with murmurs that it is mot half paid;"
but nobody proposes giving pensions to the former,
though their desttution and their suerings are by
far the greater. We protest against the voting Of
another cent TO the Military widows until those of
the Pioneers have had slice; and We protest
against tapping the Treasury for either.
Half Pads bitter friend suggests that as ave
military widOwsl are not eolored persons THE
TRIBUNE will exhibit no " true, disinterested phi
aHthropy' in their behalf. Begging your pardon,
Madam We are decidedly in favor of leaving ali
human beings at liberty to earn their own livelihood

Treasury, whether ''colored persons or uncolor.

tent We are opposed to that law, and will do our
best to have it repealed; but to all laws for taking
money out Of the Treasury and giving it either to
colored persons" or any other, We are stubbornly
hostile. Do you understand

They are thus false in rrciple and perniciou ID

In Congress yesterday, the SENATE adopted
the Joint resolution for the reception Of the
Turkish ce-Adniral. Mr. Trumbu!ls amend.
ment to the resolution providing for the taking
Of testimony in the case Of the bogus Indiana
Senators was rejected, and the resolution, after
bayirg been amended BY the sertion of provision
limiting the time allowed to ninety days, was
adopted. The votes of Messrs. Fitch and Bright
for Lecompton and Slavery are therefore secured.
Mr. Wilson offered an amendment to the Army blu,
providing for the employment of volunteers IN
Utsb and Mr.. Hunter gave notice that he should
move a substitute. Mr.. Houston presented reso-
luton instructng the Committee on Foreign Re-
lations to inquire into the eIPediency Of our Gov
ernments assuming protectorate over Central
American and Mexico. After an executive session
the Senate adjourned.
The HOUSE was occupied all day with discussing

recorded must be taken be deliberate determ 'na-
ton to permanently enlarge the Standing Army OF
the Federal Government. We lament to find Nj
Seward pledged TO such policy. and we rejoiee
that the other Republican members Of the Senate
unanimously repudated the scheme.
The following remarks Of SenatOr Houston ID
regard to the prospect Of any reduction Of the Army
are strikingly just and at the ssue time intimate
the reasons for such an increase as has just been
voted by the Senate:
"You may increase the Army but you never can
reduce il. Why II this II is not the Army that An
aisid of but It s the outward pressure of the officers
Of the Army and their frends to operate on the legs
lation Of this nation that dread. Members Of Con-
gress have their friends in the Army They ga!
Colonel Such-a-one, our friend, If we reduce tne
Army, will lave 10 60 into private life, for wnich ne

engaged; Lieutenant Such-s-one is a noble youth;
Captain Such-a-one If charming fellow AMI m'lor
So-ano go Ii an elegant man Edo not want the Army
reduced because the will strike some Of our friends
when it falls. We all have our personal predilec-
tioIs; We have our partalIties or we have our as
socia'ioLs in private life and we do not wish TO meet
their reproa ches frowps and therefore We cannot
vote ,or bill which our conscience tells Us we ought
10 vote for. We are not ompipotent than other
men. We have the in6rmtes Of humanity clustering
around our hearts and sympathy continually elawlns
at US. We cannot resist mpOrtunlties and thus II Is
that you may easily increase the Army, but you can
not make reduction when the necessities OF coun-
Try require it,
Every addition to the Army is weakening the
power of Congress to resist fresh additions. We
have reached the point where the influence Of the
Army is rensbly felt in Legislation. 1t already
turns the scale. How long may it be before its in
fuence will dominate in the Goyernment'

Two important arrests were made on Monday
night at KnickerbOcker Hall, in the Eighth avenue
A disturbance having occurred at the door of the
ballroom an officer attempted to restore peace,
wien he Was set upon by two 6ghting-men and ter
riby beaten; but fortunately other officers came to
the spot, and the offenders, known as jim Hughes
and Joe Coburn, were arrested. Yesterday they
were held to bail to answer for the Offense-Mi-
cbael Duffy, Of No ZAP West Thrtieth street, and
Thomas Dunn. Councilman and porter. house
keeper, having the pleasure of ofbecoming their sure
ties. One report states that the ardent friend of
Mayor Wood, Mr.. Peter Duffy, was very anxious
to serve the pugilistic captives, but Mr.. Justice
Kelly was too nquisitive as to responsibility. Be
that a. it may, il is we'll known that Hughes aud
the mob that follows at his heels were the sworn
friends and most active supporters of Fernando
Wood and that they, in common with their friends
Of the przering have for years possessed sufficient
political influence to get clear of all punishment no
matter what outrage they might commit. How
they will fare ths time remains to be seen. The
public long suffering under otfenses of this chsrac.

Tie Boston Journal has private dispatch from
Lawrence, stating that the Territorial House
Representatives have with great unanimity passed
bill declaring any endeayor to put the Lecompton
Constitution in force to be felony, punishable with
death. We do not know whether Territorial enact
ments can legally reach the villains who expect to
profit by the consummation of the Lecompton
scheme. But one thing is certain, if such laws as
the above should be enforced after Kansas shall be
admitted as State there will be far less reason t,
complain than has existed 10 regard to any law now
on the statute books of that Territory.

The Ereaing Post misstates our position in re.

that journal as follows:
In breath It THE TRRrxEl says subsidies ocean

Now, we beg to say that We never said any such
thing, nor anything like 4. Our argument was
that general projections for the education Of all
branches Of labor was sound doctrines but that

twill be seen by our dispatches from Washing
ton that Speaker Or's Committee Of Investigation
of the Kansas frauds have determined to stiie the
inquiry which the House ordered. This proceed
ing is of a piece with everything hitherto done,
about Kansas No regard has been paid to regu-
larty. to parliamentary rule, to fiirness nor to de-
cency, from the cutset, and Of course we may pre-
sane that 80 il will be TO the end. The majority
