WEBSTER JUSTICE REBUKED IN SOUTH
BRIDGE.-The Southbridge Journal of the 3D.
contains the following little incident" by
which it will be seen that the law is considered
too slow to suit the convenience of one of its
votaries in Webster, who paid the penalty OF his
rashness in dollars and cents:
Seymour A. Tingier, town clerk of Webster,
and a practicing lawyer of that place, was tried
before Justice Dresser, of this town, for assault
and battery committed on the person of Mrs.
Anna NJ. Hutchins, dressmaker of Webster on
Thursday of last week. The facts of the case,
as educed by the trial, were as follows: Mrs. H.
called upon Tingier, at his office, about four
o'clock on the day mentioned, and demanded
payment of a note of $780, which she held
against him. Not being ready to accede to the
demand, he put her off, as he had done previ-
ously and as she was about leaving the office, in
no very amiable mood at "the laws delay" she
seized Triggers cloak which was lying on a
chair, and would have doubtless carried it away
had he not jumped up from his desk and grabbed
her by the hair of the head, and pulled her back.
In this little fracas, he pulled out handful OF
hair, which was exhibited in court against him.
He also struck her in the face. 1t is reported
she retaliated with an inkstand, a dumb-bell
aud other promiscous articles. She got away,
however, and returned home, and Tingier after.
ward went to her room and tried to "make up ~
but she told him he had struck her one time too
many, hence the trial. Although he pleaded
not guilty, the justice fined him SIS and costs
which amounted to S12.95. Tingier paid the bill
and returned home.

A Milford correspondent of the Woonsocket
Patriot evidently thinks a Jail would be the
making of lis fourishing town. He also pro-
poses conundrum in regard to building an
addition to the Jail in this city. Here is what
he says about the matter:
"The criminal court records of Worcester pre-
sent hard look for Milford the last term. The
rumsellng business makes awful havoc in our
midst 1t is a prolific preparatory school to
people Worcester Jail, which is found too small
for present demand. Hon. Velorous Taft one
of the county commissioners, has presented the
matter to the legislature, and asks for permits
sion TO call upon the county to erect in the city
of Worcester a new Jail at the cost of 500, 900.
Why not put on an addition to the old building
Or does city pride demand a new and imposing
structure2 Perhaps it may be well to take into
consideration whether il would not be better to
think about a Jail at Milford. Certainly tGere
would be great saving in transportation. And
We can show quite as good a case as Fitchburg
for shire town in the county"

Forty-First Congress Second Session
WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 3.
SENATE

SENATE.
The vice president announced as the confer
ence committee on the bill of abolishing the
offices of admiral and vice admiral, Messrs.
Cragin, Wilson, and Stockton.
MIR. Anthony presented resolutions from the
Rhode Island legislature, asking the passage of
the house bill granting pensions to the surviving
soldiers, as well as to the widows OF the SOL
diers, of the war of 1872. Laid on the table.
MIR. Thayer, from the committee on military
affairs, reported adversely to the house Joint
resolution, making the 3OtE day of May (decora-
ton day. a national holiday. He did not con-
cur in the report, and would call up the bill at
an early day.
Discussion was continued on the subject OF
pensions.
The senate agreed to an amendment to APP
ply to the five or six survivors Of the little Bond
boys, who took part in the battle of Plattsburg,
and were honorably mentioned in Gen. Nc
Cooks dispatches and resolution of congress.
Mr. Wilson did not recognize these claims as
based upon either law or equity. The bill was
a mere gratuity, and the needy alone should
partake OF its benefits. He thought the pension
should be made dependent on the poverty OF the
pensoner. He would grant pensions to old
soldiers who asked for them, as a means of
/ keeping out of poor houses, but not pension
| upon the tax payers of the country for class
of men in wealthy or comfortable circum-
| stances.
Mr.. Sherman had been disposed to favor the
| bill as it came from the house, but as now
amended it would cause immense accessons to
| the pension rolls and enormously increase the
| expenses Of the government. The only case in
history of any government where nation had
| peusoned all its soldiers was that of the gen.
eral pension law for the soldiers of the war of
1872, and for revolutionary veterans who had
been paid off in deprecated and worthless cur
rency. II could not be estimated how much the
bill would take from the treasury, but it was
known that, twenty years after the close of the
war, $4,000 survivors established their rights to
the land warrants awarded to the soldiers Of the
war Of 1872. Provision was made for pensions
to the widows Of these old soldiers, but many
had, late 10 life, married young women, who.
when left widows had married again, There
were, probably, $4,000 Of these widows, and TO
pension them would require about $1,000, 900
annually. He wanted the bill confined to in
digent survivors and to those widows who were
married to soldiers at the time Of the var.
After further discussion, the bill passed with
amendments exten,liae STE isiic pasisde>- ,rdowe

RThe dynasty of King Amadeus
of Spain is Threatened. The two
branches of Bourbons-the followers
of Isabella and the Montpensierists,
have affiliated, and thus form pow
erful combination. Their plan is to
dethrone Amadeus, and make the
Duke of Montpensier Regent, until
the eldest son of Isabella, Infant AL.
phonso, arrives at the proper age,
when he viii be placed on the throne.
The united Bourbons are not alone
in opposition to the new King. The
Carlists still have aspirations Of their
own, and the Reds want Republic.
These parties, however, are indepen-
dent of each other, and it may be
that in the general scramble for pow
er, whatever the result, the Bourbons
can have little hopes of gaining the
ascendency in Spanish politics. If
they are wise, they will allow the rev.
Citations of the revolution of 1868 to
shape their course.
