The President is greatly troubled by the opinion which many leading Members of Con gress have expressed, that it is not probable that new tariff can be agreed upon this ses sion. He has informed several members with. in few days that if this Congress does notyso modify the tariff as to furnish more revenue, he will convene the next Congress in an Ex. tra Session early in the Summer. He has ex- pressly notified Mir. Phelps the Chairman o the Committee on Ways and Means, of this determination.
 1Hc States to-day reluctantly admits that the acquisition of Cuba by purchase, or any other means, is entirely hopeless, and thinks that MT. Buchanan will abandon his scheme of annexation as exploded and futile.
 The London letter, copied into your columns from 1he Bostom Advertiser, attributing Lord Napier's recall to Anti Slavery influence ex cites much comment here Its authorship is charged upon Mir. Sumner, but it is known here that the real writer was Mir. Henry T. Barker, Boston gentleman, who has long re- sided in London
 1Ac States says that it has satisfactory as surances that Lord Napier's recall was caused by his sympathy with Southern men in the Slavery controversy, and that he himself re gards his transfer to the Hague as degrada. tion.

Our Hartford neighbors had quite ceIe- bration on the 22d inst, on the occasion oi the first parade and dinner of the Putnam Phalanx," military organization recently started in Hartford. It is composed of the older citizens, and consists of two companies
 under Capts Gordon and Goodwin, forming a battalion, under Major Horace Goodwin. It turned out exactly 100 men. in the old conti- mental uniform-long-waisted full-skirted coats, with buff collars and facings, and brass but. tons the long buff vest of the old style brooches or short clothes, gathered and buckled at the knees yellow top boots and the full cooked hat, with black plume. Maj
 Goodwin is Il years of age, six feet four in. ches high, and with erect form, white hair, elastic step, made fine appearance. In front of the State House, Maj. Gen. James T.
 Pratt presented the corps with a beautiful banner, in behalf of the Mcssrs Brinley. de. scendants of Gen. Putnam. In the evening, dinner came off at tlre Allyn House, which was attended by the principal men ol Hartford, and pleasant occasion it seems te have been. "Song and sentiment" ruled the hour, and the old boys" fought their bat
 ties OCT again." Among the guests was z gentleman who descends jointly from Putnam

lions have been expended, and although 26 years have elapsed since the passage of that law, over two hundred are on the rolls, and were paid their pensions during the past year.
 On the passage of the act of February 3 1853, granting pensions to widows of revolu- tlonary soldiers, married subseq uent to Jan. 1, 1900, the estimate was that $24 900 would be sufficient for the first year. It was found wholly inadequate, and the additional sum ol S2OO,0O0 was asked for and appropriated in deficiency bill of the preceding session of Con gress
 There are other facts of curious interest connected with the passage and execution oi pension laws. Fhty-three years after the wal of the Revolution, 5000 widows were living and applied for pensions, who were married prior to 17S3, and nearly 100 are alive now.- In 1888, II, 7s0 widows were living, who were married between 17s3 and 1794. In l84S, sixtyfve years after the war, 6, 442 were alive who were married Between l7s3 and 1194 and over 1900 of these last mentioned widows were paid their pensions during the last year. being 75 years after the close of the war; The present number of pensioners oh the rolls is II, ,6l5 of all kinds, and the annual rate o their pensions amounts to $l ,033, ,20139 The act of June 3, 1858, will add to this list ovel 5000 more, at an annual rate of ovel s::o9o 9,GG331.-Register

fS The New-Haven papers announce the death of Hon. Henry L. Ellsworth, at Fair Haven, on the 18th ult in the 68th year of his age The deceased was twin brother of Judge Wm. W. Ellsworth, and son of Chief Justice Oliver Ellsworth. He was born in Windsor. graduated at Yale College studied law in Litchield, and, for time, was member of the Hartford Bar. He was an active federal politician while that party was in existence In 1924 he voted for John Quincy Adams for President, and in 1928, as chairman of the Adams State Committee, he ad- vocated the reelection of that statesman until the appearance of Mir. Adams's letter to Gov Giles of Virginia, in which the federalists of New England who got up the Hartford Convention were handled somewhat severely, when he abandoned the support of Mr. Adams, and gave his vote for Gen. Jackson. Thereafter Mr. Ellsworth was the ardent supporter of the democratic party and its new chief. He was once, believe, nominated for Congress in opposi ton to his twin brother. but declined the nomina- ton. Gen. Jackson appointed him Commissioner of Patents, an office which he held several years, dis charging it's duties creditably to himself and advan tageously to the country, bringing order out of con- ten years he left the Patent Ofce and established himself in Lafayette, Indiana, where he became a large landhoder and very successful farmer, cultiva ting several thousand acres. His health falling, he returned to his native State in April last and spent the few last months of his life at Fair Haven. He was an honest man, true friend, and sincere Christian. ti ...4z-. r
