THE REFUSAL TO PENSION Mrs. LINCOLN
The Senate committee on pensions, in
their adverse report on the the bill to paw
Mrs. Lincoln a pension of So 900, say
that although the President of the United
States is, by the constitution, commander
uchief, he is civil and not military
officer that no principle on which pen
sions are granted is involved that the
families CT no other Presidents or other
civil officers have been so provided for,
although two other Presidents have died
in Office, leaving very dependent families;
that such course would be inconsistent
with free institutions, as when eminent
officers end their official term they become
equal, not superior, members Of society.
The committee find that Mrs. Lincoln is
not in destitute condition which has been
represented, her assets showing that she
has received $22. 600, being the balance
of her husbands salary for the unexpired
year 1865, and $36,765, being her share
of her husbands estate, in addition to
which there is some unproductive est ate
of which the committee take no account,
to say nothing of clothing, plate, &C.
Although $500 is not a fortune of
much consideration from a European
standpoint, the committee think that for
an American lady in a republican country
even one third of that amount must take
her out of the category of those whose ne
cessities in consequence of the casualties
of public service give them claim upon
the treasury Baltimore San.

The falling out of the rogues nnected

The falling out of the rogues connected
with the Georgia question will, it is hoped,
prove in. some way beneficial to honest
people,. Bullock, provoked that Senator
Pomery should have stepped between him
and extensive plans Of rascality, is now
telling on the fat gentlemen from Knasas.
He says Pomery would have been willing
to have gone either way on the Georgia
bill as it might affect railroad ring in
which he was interested. Pomery denies
that he is interested in any railroad ring,
or that be owns any railroad stock. So
he denied that he wrote contain letter
in which, for a considera ton, he offered
to vote against the impeachment of Presi-
dent johnson. Both denials may be true.
One is as true as the other, no doubt. =
Bullock refuses to account for $4,000,
of the money which he drew for manipu-
lating the Georgia bill. He paid Forney
$4,000, which seems to have been enough
to buy him. body and soul; but it is evi-
dent that if he tried to buy Mr.. Pomeroy,
be didn't offer him enough Boston Post.

The very best use which government

WE noticed in some of our exchanges

WE noticed in some of our exchanges,
Commenting upon the late Relief meeting
held Ii shis place, that Moses Walton,
Esq, is Represented to have taken very
active part on the occasion, ard as having
spoken at length in favor of the measure,
as generally proposed. In justice to Mr..
Walton we think it but due to give sy-
nopsis Of his remarks on the occasion, and
let him be judged, rather. out Of his own
mouth: He could devise no Constitution
al method, however great his sympathy
with the debtor class, beyond the legisla-
tive interference in the extension of the
time in the enforcement of the judgments
of the Courts. He took the conscientious
and constitutional view Of the question
depioring the involved condition Of the
country and sympathizing with the in
volved debtor, but at the SAME time, sought
to enforce respect for. constitutional obi
cations. He was unwilling TO sanction
any legislative enactment encroaching up
on Constitutional provisions whereby the
Legislature is prohibited from passing
any law impairing the obligation Of con-
tracts, or of asking the members Of that
body to disregard their oaths of
office. under the common idea that the re-
suit can be accomplished before the Courts
can be able to restrain He knows of no
method of relief where there was nc hope
of ultimate payment, except that proposed
by the Bankrupt Act, or that which
might be secured. temporarily BY an act
literally extending the time now allowed
By Law for the. collection of debts. He
thought that great benefit might be de-
rived BY both debtor and creditor from a
repeal of the law which nov requires the
sale of personal property to be- made for
cash. and the substitution of an enactment
authorizing fair and full credit, and also
amending such conditions as would pre-
vent the sacrifice Of property, so far as it
may be practicable to do SO by law. Mr..
W. SAID he occupied double relation to
this questionable one as Lawyer-tLe
other as a private citizen. AS lawyer

listed. As citizen he was entitled to the

Jects of common interest to all . He couu-

of the Third Auditor of the United States

claims of the State Of Vagina against the
General Government during the war of

est on this sum has increased the amount
now due to over a million and half of
dollars. If this claim can be made good
we can build a new Capitol, and have

Severe Thunder Storm Three Persons
Killed by Lightning.

SCRANTON. Pa. May 23.-The hun
der storm which passed over this place
last evening was the most severe that has
visited this section for long time. Two
persons were killed by lightning One
man was struck while setting at an open

Strange to say, his wife was not injured.
Another man was struck while walking in
the street. He lived two hours.
On Friday night SIR. Robert Merrifeld.

lightning, and instantly killed.
Although no further loss of life or prop
