Post.hum-Ous HonOrs.

Boston is building q monument to poor
NED KEyDALr, the famous bugle-player, who
died in that city several years ago. This
tribute to that eminent musician is well-de-
served, and We were not surprised to learn
that On immense audience attended the con-
cert given for the purpose of raising funds
to commemorate the wonderful talent
which was for many years a source of pleas
ure and pride to Bostonians. But in this
case, like u thousand others, one is inclined
to wonder at the tardlness Of the public to
appreciate extraordinary merit as they
ought. NED KENDALL lived and died poor
man. After having delighted the ear of all
the admirers of melody in Boston for many
years, he was finally obliged to earn his sub
sistence by travelling in circus band, and
it was only when he was dead and other mu.
sicians had attempted to fll his place that
the public realized how much they had lost.
Many have equalled him in the execution oI
difficult passages upon the bugle and post
horn, but none ever approached him in tone
and expression. There was peculiar sweet
ness and resonance in the notes he produced
such as no other performer has given, and il
is the memory OF these-the echoes of wood
Up," Love Not" and thousand other
beautiful airs that come back from the 81
lent shore-whch has prompted the citizens
of Boston to pay this tribute to his memory

EXPEDITION EXTRAORDINARY
TO MEXICO,

With the authority Of the Government we
take great pleasure in announcing that Hon.
LEWIS d. CAMPBELL, Envoy Extraordinary and
Minister Plenipotentiary to the Republic Of
Mexico, accompanied by E. L. PLUMB, Esq,
Secretary Of Legation, and Lieutenant Gen.
eral WV. T. SHERMAN and his Chief Of Staff,
will positively leave the port Of New York
tomorrow on board the United States steam
frigate Susquehannah. This war ship will
be commanded by Captain ALFRED TAYLOR,
a distinguished officer Of the navy. Our
Minister to the Mexican Republic will there
fore be aankcd by renowned officers of the
American army and navy. The Susquehan-
nah will proceed, without delay, to point
designated in Mr.. CANPBEIL's instructions,
and will there meet the representatives
designated for that purpose by the President
Of the Mexican Republic.
The probability now is, that this extraordi-
nary Diplomatic, Military and Naval Com
mission Of this Government will be joined by
the United States Gulf feet, and demonstra-
ton will be made in assertion Of the American
doctrine, known as MoSRoE's, that will prove
highly satisfactory to the American people,
and show the nations Of the earth that, not
withstanding oil their efforts to prove to the
contrary, we really have q Government.

YET UNExPLAINED.

Two DAYS before the terrible Convention
riot occurred in New Orleans, Gen. BAIRD
sent the following important dispatch to
Secretary STANTON:
NEW ORLEANS, La, July %, 1896.
"Ion. Eaioin M Stanton, Secretary Of War
"A Convention has been called with the
sanction Of Gov. Wells to meet here on Mon
day, The Lieutenant Governor and city
authorities think it unlawful, and propose to
break il up by arresting the delegates. /
have given no orders on the subject but
have warned the parties that l could not
countenance or permit such action without
instructions to that effect from the President.
Please instruct me at once by telegraph.
tSigned) A. BAIRD,
"Brevet Major General
The official memorandum on the dispatch
is as follows:
''0rvIcE U s. MILITARY TELEGRAPH,
"HEApouAnrERs WAR DEPARTMENT.
The following telegram received at 1920
p. m, July %, 1866"
General BAIRD not only complains Off
cially that he awaited, but never received,
reply to this important dispatch, but there
is no evidence in the budget of official dis
patches, published in the REPUBLICAN by au-
thority Of the Government some time since,
that Secretary STANTON erer ansWered the
above highly important dispatch himself,
and it is q positive fact that he nerer sent
it to the President until weeks after the riot.
Had The President seen the above dis.
patch Of General BAIRD the riot in New Or
leans would never have occurred. Why Sec
retary STANTON neither answered the dispatch
himself nor informed The PRESIDENT Of its
existence. remains unexplained to any one.
Notwithstanding this apparent great culpa
bility on the part Of Mr.. STANTON, no reason
able person can withhold censure from Gen
BAIRD for allowing riot and bloodshed ant
murder to be committed in the streets o

Will the Heads OF Departments
Recommend it?

This is the anxious expression Of every
clerk who expects to be benefited by the
extra compensation act. We do not wonder
The present salaries are not sufficient, ant
something ought to be done. 1t is vel
known to every one that the cost of living
is double what it was when the present rates
were fixed. House rents are proportionately
high, and how the clerks who have families
can provide comfortable home is some
thing we are unable to understand. If the
heads Of the several Departments will recon
mend an increase of clerks salaries to the
favorable consideration Of Congress that body
will, we have no doubt, take such action a!

Bounty in Case OF the Loss of Dis
charge Papers.

Application having been made for the ad
ditional bounty by soldier who had lost his
discharge the proper accounting officer de-
cides that the law forbids the payment oI
the claim, and that in such cases, however
hard it may operate, no authority is vested
in any officer Of the Government to dispense
with condition which the law has imposed
The fourteenth section of the act of July %
1866, referred to says, THAT no claim fol
such bounty shall be entertained by the Pay
master General, or other accounting officer

Decision Relative to Pensions.

Hon. 0. II. Browning, Secretary of the
Interior, has given decision on an appeal
from the action Of the Pension Office in re-
gard to claims for the increase Of invalid
pensions under the act Of June 6, 1866. His
construction of the law is contained in sub
stance in the following paragraphs, quoted
from his decision:
"Three grades Of disability arc described in the
act but 1t Is not to be presumed that Congress sup
posed that all invalid pensioners who received tho
maximum amount under former laws would bo
therefore entitled to its liberal provisions. The
applicant for the increased allowance must afirma-
lively prove that his disability is of the specific
character mentioned In the act, or Is equivalent
thereto, unless the fact be sufficiently established
by the proofs accompanying his original applica.
tion.
II am Of the opinion that the proofs do not bring
case within the act in question: unless they show
that the disability is permanent and incapacitates
the applicant from performing manual labor to the
same extent as If he had lost hand or foot"

Executive Committee at Washington" So
called, created by committee of the Ma
tional Union Convention, at Philadelphia,

party has been everywhere triumphant, with
the exception of Maryland and Delaware.
Without stopping to quarrel with, or Gen.
sure this inefficient and uninfluential sub
committee for not doing what they now show
to the country they neither possessed the
comprehension nor capacity to accomplish,
we pass to q more important subject, with
reference to the future, and call upon the
National Union Committee to assemble and
either authorize their own Executive Com
mittee" to go forward and organize in the
States, or else create another Executive
Committee and there are competent men
enongh on the general National Union Com
mittee to constitute such q working body
Among other things, the General Committee
should stipulate with each member Of their
Executive Committee-pm each man under
odth-that he will not insist upon having
from The President Federal appointment
the day after he is empowered as a commit
tee-man, and that while he is on the COM
mittee he will not engage in contracts or
schemes with his friends to plunder the Gov
ernment. This will give us pure and influ-
entail committee. Then let them go to work
and organize the National Union party upon
the platform of principles adopted at Phila-
delphia, which appears elsewhere in our paper
to-day.
Such action should be taken at once. The
honest Conservatives in every State in the
Union who went TO Philadelphia to accom-
plish great end, and have been cheated by
the corrupt hacks of the old Democratic
party, demand this action from their com
mittee. Let us 60 to work for the future

Tonnage Duties.

The Secretary OF the Treasury has issued
circular to collectors Of customs relative to
the tonnage duty on vessels, specifying the
vessels subject to tonnage dues, when such
dues must be paid, the liability of vessels
and the power Of the collector to detain the
same for non-payment, &c. The following
vessels are exempt from duty:
Tonnage duty is not chargeable on vessels
arriving in distress, if condemned and sold to
be broken up; nor upon vessels lost or sunk;
nor if arriving in distress, on making entry
Of but part Of her cargo, only sufficient to
defray expenses Of repairs; nor if so damaged
as to be incapable of repairs when the cargo
is reshipped on another vessel; nor ON scows;
nor on lighters not engaged in trade, or
transporting merchandise from port to port;
nor on pleasure yachts, carrying neither
cargo nor passengers for hire, but if over 20
tons, they must be enrolled and licensed, and
pay the fees incident thereto; nor on vessels
laid up, or otherwise out Of use, for calen-
dar year; nor on whaling vessels during their
absence; but tonnage dues on such vessels
will be collected, in future, on taking out
marine papers, or on renewing them, il not
previously paid for that year; or, if on
entry, then for the year only in which
they enter from that whaling voyage.
1t is not chargeablo on foreign vessels OF
war; nor upon prize vessels; nor upon vessels
picked up dereict at sea, without men OF
merchandise on board--in such latter case
however, the facts should be reported to the
Department before the exemption will be
allowed. Nor upon canal boats or other
vessels plying only on waters Exclusively
within the limits Of State, and having nc
outlet in navigable river or lake on which
commerce with foreign nations or with the
Indian tribes can be carried on. All vessels
of this latter class, from and after the first
day of August last, when subject to any tax
come under the jurisdiction OF the officers O
the internal revenue. 1t is the business O.
fishing, of trading, or transporting goods oil
passengers as common carrier, for which {
vessel must be registered, or enrolled ant
