The Ro,dhOIders Before Congress.

From the ". Y.;HeTaLd. 7'
The first day of the adjourned session of
Congress did not pass over without move
ment being made in that body in favor of the
bondholders, Mr. Edinunds, of Vermont, iu-
trOduced joint resolution in the Senate de-
claring that the faith and credit of the Govern
ment were pledged to redeem the public debt
in coin or its equivalent, that the debt is owing
in coin or its equivalent, and that Congress
thereby pledged the United States to make
payment accordingly. The resolution was
read, laid on the table, and ordered to be
printed. Mr. Edmunds gave notice that he
should call it up at an early day, and said he
hoped 1t would be passed with entire unanimity.
We notice, too, from our Washington CORE
spondence of the oath inst, that the sub
ieot of national finance was the absorbing one,
and that members of both houses of Congress
are preparing to discuss it. 1t is evident, also,
from the letter of Thaddeus Stevens, endorsing
one from John Law, of Indiana, on the ques-
tion of paying the debt in greenbacks, that
the great radical leader of the House is paying
particular attention to this subject. Altogether,
we may expect to have, early in the session, a
very full discussion of our national finances
Mr. Edmunds fired the first gun in the great
fight coming on between the bOndholders and
the taxpayers about the national debt, and it
comes from the bondhOlding side. There is no
difficulty in divining the nature and object Of
this hasty action in the Senate. Public opinion
70 in favor of paying the debt, or large portion
gift, in legal-tenders, has been growing rapidly
OF late, and the bondholders are very anxious,
eYidently, to fOrestall or head that off by some
@cIion IN Congress. 1t is an effort to get sort
VI snap Judgment on the question before the
people have acquired clear ideas on it. There
Is, however, another side to, this question, and
we thlnk the Senator from Vermont will not
carry his resolution with that unanimitv he
processes to anticipate. There is A great deal
OF ignorance in Congress on the snSiect n Ia
true; but as it has been introduced IL Iii ,,oa1
be well ventilated. Judging from wbat Nv
d CURED last spring and winter in Conoress o,'5
!. from the current of publ opinion, tbera l.
reason to believe the resolution will meet yvitL
considerable opposition, at least i'm the U",sa
! Of,RepresentatiYes. Bat whatever the resnI1
may be- the action of this Congress eannot
bind that of future Congresses If it be the
will of the people TO pay the debt, or a portion
of it, in lawful money while that is the cur
renoy OF the country
Mr.. Edmunds assumes too much when he
says "the debt was contracted or incurred, ex-
6ept where specially provided Otherwise, upon
the faith and oreditOf the United States that
the same should be paid or redeemedGin coin
on It's equivalent" The contrary is the case.

A stranger who, like everybody else
hare. nd heard OF Bill but had never
seen him, came into town pretty well
set mn with whisky, and, as he said,
snoiiing for a hght. After comparing
himself 10 all the fighting animals that
even Col. Anderson's menagerie could
boast, he wound up with the usual
Western proclamation, that he could
whip any man in town, to all OF which
Bill :who was standing by, said not n
word. But when the stranger an
nounced that he was Wild Bill, and
moreover was wolf, the original
w. b. not liking TO be scared by his own
name, quietly replied, ives, you're
coyote, ~ q. e. prairie wolf, the mean
est thing know in this country.)
The consequence was a small fight, IN
which 1t is sufficient to say, that via
Bill remains in possession OF the us
puted nickname.

nAXIMILIAN

There is no doubt that the public
mind is more largely occupied by Mex
lean affairs, at this time, than 1t has
been before since the foreign invaders
landed at Vera Cruz. Macmillan is
the central figure of this interest There
is a great anxiety to learn his fate, and
= general hope and desire that his life
may be spared by the victors. Little
thought is bestowed on Miramon, Mar
auez and the other Generals who ad-
hered to the fortunes of the Empire 10
the last-few care to inquire whether
they will be reprieved or shot as an
act OF useless rigor to appease the
eIamorous wrath of the Mexican Re-
publIcans; the absorbing question is,
will the Archduke be spared? The alb
sence ofinformattou furnishes no clue
to the situation. On the one hand 1t
might be said that If so important an
event had taken place, the news would
certainly have reached US before this ;
tina. the Mexicaus are not slow in exc
cutting their deadly purposes against
prisoners, and that the circumstances
OF uelaS sANC SOAOA ~ $3.50
that Macmillan has been permitted TO
depart in personal security.
Il is sincerely to be hoped that the
second sober thought has convinced
Juarez of the good policy of sparing the
life of his distinguished prisoner. His
execution could effect nothing, except
TO crafty the momentary passions of
revenge harbored by the multitude.
Macmillan is no longer a rival for the
supreme pU~e-, and no faction would
be quelled by his death. The lesson
which Europe was to learn has been
taught by the ignominious failure OF
Napoleon and his protege: not another
drop of human blood is needed to add
TO its impressiveness. It will be very
hong time, We apprehend, before an
other European Power will seek active
Intervention in the affairs of Mexico;
che lesson of FIVE years of war will not
be lost, even ifJuarez spares the life OF
his prisoner.

Pensions for Soldiers OF the War OF
IsIa-Mfsrepresenta Corrected.
The following has been forwarded TO
us from the Pension once for publtca-
ZION:
DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR,
PENSION OFFICE. June 6, 1867.
Col. G. D. Pennebnker, Kentucky State
Agent:
cation OF the 4th inst, calling my atten-
zion to an advertisement which repre-
aeuted that "Soldiers of the war of 1872,
or their widows, can now obtain Gov
eminent pension of IS per month";" In
reply, l have 10 state that such Tepresen-
tations are lCh0uy unlrdrrunted, no law
having ever been enacted by which PEN
stone are granted either to the soldiers
of the war of 1872 or their widows, ex-
cept-as provided more than fifty years
sInca-to invalids, and to the widows of
those dying of wounds or disease incl
dent to the service.
In view Of the many inquiries made
on the subject. 1t may be proper to add
that The bill for granting pensions to
the soldiers of the war of 1872, aud to
their widows, failed TO pass either
branch OF the Thirty-ninth Congress.
The unanimous adverse report of the
Pension Committee of the last House of
Representatives thereon leaves little
20 expect that, with the present heavy
burden of the national debt, this in
crease SO earnestly pressed upon every
Congress during the last eight
or ten years will ever become a law.
Our pension system has been liberal
beyond that of every other nation; but
1t extends no further than to provide
some partial compensation for the cas-
sL1LtieS of war. 1t never contemplated
life annuiIip4 man gbn loft tho aaF.
vice unframed, or TO the widows of
such as have once served for a few
months or years, and afterward died
from causes entirely disconnected with
the war. The proposed enactment
would have added to our pension list
nearly or quite as many, in all proba-
bility, as the whole number already en-
rolled by reason ofthe casualties OF the
late war. II pensions are granted by
reason OF mere service in the war Of
1872, like claims might as equitably be
urged on behalf of those who served in
the war With Mexico, and of all those
who, on land or sea, aided in suppress
sing the recent rebellion. Whether the
country can afford to increase on 30
liberal a scale, a pension list already
sweIling beyond $40. 900, 900 per annum,
I will not discuss. The improbabtlity
OF any such legislation, al least. is man.
ifest. SO delusive hope ought not TO
be encouraged; and much less does II
seem to me that the representations To
which you have kindly called my at
tention should be regarded as merely
injurious, and not the least SO on the
worthy class of persons whose hopes
and interests are thus trifled with.
