THE COMMISSIONER or PENSIONS.
DIR. HENRY VAN AERNAM has resigned the
Office of Commissioners of Pensions to avoid
being removed, and J. II Baker, of Mime
sofa, has been nominated to succeed him. It
is to be hoped that under the new Oemmis-
sioner some very-much needed reforms in the
administration of the Pension Bureau will be
instituted, and Mr.. Baker cannot make q
better beginning than by the removal of
Colonel w. T. Forbes, of this city, from the
pension agency, over which his has for some
time presided with more advantage to him
self than to the pensioners on his pay-rolls.
Colonel Forbes was retained in Office after
abundant proof that he was guilty of irregu-
larities in the management of his agency that
under an honest administration of the Pension
Bureau would have ensured his instant
removal, but Commissioner Van Aernam
undertook to whitewash him, and by so
doing assumed share of the responsibility
of his performances. The case of Colonel
Forbes was great scandal, and it served to
prove conclusively the oorruptness of the
administration of the Pension Bureau and
the rottenness of the whole system of paying
pensions. If Congress had been honest
law would have been passed to effect total
and radical reform, but Congress seldom or
never is honest when the bread and butter of
host of professional politicians is in ques-
tion; and although some improvement has
been effected, and the interests of the PEN
sioners and the public better protected than
they were, the administration of the Pension
Bureau is still far from being what it should
be. If it is necessary to have pension agen-
cies, they should be given to retired officers
who have been wounded in the service of
their country, and who are, consequently,
untitled for active employment in either civil
or military life. With such men there would
be reasonable chance that the pensioners
and the Government would be honestly
dealt with, and the business of the Pension
Bureau would be removed out of the corrupt
ing atmosphere of party politics. The PEN
sion agents would hold their positions by
reason of their honesty and efficiency, and
they would not be retained in Office, as Colonel
Forbes has been, after gross misconduct had
been proved against them, simply because of
a hope that they would prove useful as politi-
cal wire-pullers in an election campaign. So
far as Colonel Forbes is concerned, his own
admissions were sufficient to have ensured
his removal if Commissioner Van Aernam had
been disposed to do his duty and the new
Commissioner cannot make better beginning
than by doing what his predecessor declined
to do, and by requesting Colonel Forbes to
hand over his agency to some more suitable
person.
Hon. James FL. Baker, the new Commits
sioner, is native of Ohio, from which State
he removed to Minnesota about fifteen years
ago. He is lawyer by profession, and was
Secretary of State of Ohio when Chief Justice
Chase was Governor of that State. During
the war he was general in the army

EVEN RocHEFoRT, it is said, denounces the
leaders of the Partisan revolt as fools or
tyrants, or both, and the whole civilized
world concurs in this severe judgment. They
are insanely warning against the best interests
of the community in which they live, as well
as against France and republicanism. If
their pretended fears that monarchy will be
re-establshed are verified, that result will be
due mainly to heir wild and wicked exec sses,
while if genuine republic is permanently
established it will because republican princi-
Piles prove strong enough even to counteract
the alarm created by their demonstration of
the incapacity of crazy Parisians for self-gov-
ernment,

made fatal blunder some years ago, for
which the sisterhood never forgave her-she
got married. Open the black book, put her
down, score her under. Being a woman,
however, she still had the inside track, If we
may SO express it, but-no quarter for the
husband. Reform Let us reform these
reformers; that is what society wants. And
we do think that few more sucn exposes as
that offered by the Lynd-G case
would go far towards reforming them out of
existence.
And this Mrs Woodruff is the person who
was publicly introduced to Philadelphia
audience recently by Mrs. Lucretia Mott.
That highly veneratsd and respected lady in
dorsed the crazy philosophy of the female
candidate for President including, we sup
pose, the principles of her ''cosmo-politicT
party, and affirmed her belief that Mrs. Wood
hull was ''on the right track" Arriving here,
and where we should have climax, we feel
discouraged. But it has been said that truth
is mighty, and some people still believe that
il will prevail. And we hope, and believe
too, that this libel suit will go considerable
way toward the desired end.

SENATOR SHERMAN proposes to amend the
anti-Ku-klux bill by insisting that all the
damages caused to property by riotous assem-
blages shall be collected from the communal
ties in which such riots occur. This would
be q step in the right direction, but, if pos
sible, it ought to be carried further, so that
all the expenses arising from military inter-
ference could be assessed upon the States or
counties in which such interference becomes
necessary. If the Ku-klux assassins will in
sist upon terrorizing the communities in
which they live, their syupathizers, instead
of the innocent people of the North, should
be made to pay all damages. If the adoption
of this policy should practically lead to the
confiscstion and sale of large tracts of land in
radically Rebel districts, even that result
would prove beneficial rather than injurious,
for it would tend to transfer Southern terri
tory to loyal landowners. Of one thing at
least the unreconstructed and unreconstruct-
able authors of mischief ought to be assured
that if they get up another war no pains
will be spared to punish them pecuniarily as
we'll as by force of arms.

JENNY LIND,

UDNH L LINDs
IT is not often that we get hold of an item of
news 80 entirely to our taste as one that we
published yesterday relative to the Jenny Lind
Goldschmidt libel case. That charges So con-
spicuously inexact, SO infamously untrue,
should have been, for once, savagely re-
buked, gives us renewed faith in the trial by
jury. In rendering its verdict, the foreman
well said that the jury was of opinion thatno
amount of damages could really compensate
the plaintiff; nevertheless, it is comfortable to
feel that there was considerable money ip-
volved, too. The whole reading world has
been imposed upon by these lies about Jane
Lynd, the singing woman" as a Quaker
preacher once termed the famous songstress.
For years Mr.. Goldschmidt one of the best
of men and most attentive of husbands, has
suffered from the shameful imputations that
he had squandered his wifes fortune, and had
even personally maltreated his wife. We re-
member reading these sad stories, and believ-
ing them, and many of our readers have
doubtless pitied the hard fate of the lovely
and gifted singer. 1t is good news to learn
that this pity was quite wasted. For a long
time lately the hbellous tongues were silent,
and Mr. and Mrs. Goldschmidt were congra-
tulating themselves upon escaping from this
unenviable notoriety, when suddenly the
shameful storm again arose. Such wilful, de-
liberate lying, without shadow, or the shade
of shadow, of truth !-how is it to be ex-
planned, exr rept on the hypothesis of the
sometimes ineradicable baseness of the human
heart {?

nate these falsehoods, but merely copied
them from an American journal. So much
the worse, possibly, for the American jour-
nal, although the English copyists were still
some to blame. Some, but not all. They
should have been sure of their facts before
making such violent statements. What,
however, shall we say of the authors, and of

The Synod of Illinois has formerly
withdrawn from the General Council of

action is dissatisfaction with the Council,
in that it lightly treated four cardinal points
on which the union of the past hanged,

ical sacramental fellowship.
