A DlsCR EDlTABLE PARDoN.-President
Grant has finally pardoned Bowen, the
bigamist. With singular propriety the
pardon was countersigned by Bancroft
Davis, the bribe.taker, as Acting Secre.
tary Of the State. After this there is no
reason why any convict should not bs
pard0ned. No matter how black their
crimes or how clear the evidence of their
guilt, President Grant can consisten ently
discharge them all. Bowen il a scoup.

About the only thing Of political
nature reported from Washington City is
the examination Of witnesses by the
Ku.klux committee. A great many
prominent conservative men Of the South
who wcro summoned to appear before
the committee have failed to do SO, aud
it ia reported that they had been tele
graphe,t TO, by somo officious Radical who
feared to meet their evidence, that they
need not come, as the committee would
not have time to examine them bu,
they have now been telegraphed to come
Ut once. The Radical witnesses are
swearing TO some pretty hard stories
before >hs committee, but that they ore
exaggerated is fully shown BY the evil

The Determinations of Loyalty.

1t is semi officially announced by the
commissioner Of Pensions that in ad min.
isteriug the act Of February II, 1871,
granting pensions to the survivors Of the
war of 1872, when witnesses testify to the
loyalty of a claimant, their own loyalty
must be shown by the certificate Of on
officer Of the United States commissioner,
or an officer Of the Internal Revenue
bureau. The rule applies only to the
South, and no question is raised at the
North.
BY this bigotod regulation. says the
Washington Patriot, there is to be one
law fol tho Northern people and another
for the Southern. According to the
usual form heretofore in similar cases, a
claimant was required to make oath that
he had at no time rendered laid aud
comfort" to the rebellion, and to prove
the same by the afidavits Of two disinter
ested witnesses, whose creditability had
to be certified by the clerk of court Of
record.
But now the Southern soldier is

be able to establish his rights by twenty
witnesses, and if they happen voluntarily
or compulsorily to have aided the rebel
lion, then the veteran who fought for his
country is excluded from pension

more wicked contrivance to deprive old
Southern soldiers Of their just rights.

every candid mind will denounce as out

should have human beings of year talking
politics, joining trades unions, marrying, and
in fact going the whole round of the tread
mill we call life. There is no evading the
logical conclusion of the Generals argument
if we once accept his seductive premises
Then this most rare Nimbus acts not only
upon the physical nature As it induces with
plants and flowers not only greater quantity
but rarer quality ef fruit and fragrance, SO
man under its influence may be expected
to shoot into moral stature
little less than appalling to the degenerate
sense of the present age. The Good Bishop
in Les Misera6les, or the popular G..
Washington himself, could not have held
candle to the moral completeness of the in
dividual who thinks and acts on the belief
that Blue is the only Wear. Then conceive
our jails with blue glass roofs. A fippant
person may say-'Tt would be good thing
for the prisoners" So it would, but not as
you insinuate. No; let one good hour of
sunshine pour through the celestial panes,
and the prisoner would have no desire to
escape. He would be glad to remain where
he felt himself growing in grace every
minute. Or suppose sudden blast be let in
upon an old bachelor, that worst pest in
busy world. No sooner does the bachelor feel
it, than piff he is off for the old flame he
has lost sight of for many years. In short,
the application of General Pleasantons theory
has no limit, and with these hints to guide
him, the biect can safely be left to the
readers Imagination.

GEARY.

GOVERNOR GEARY has had enough of the
minor honors of the executive chair of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and he is
beginning to develop designs upon the Presi-
dency. He apparently proposes to run upon
an independent workingmens ticket, and to
give both the Republican and Democratic
organizations the cold shoulder This is WE'LL
for Geary's characteristics are too we'll known
both to the Repu licans and Democrats for
him to have any great hope of obtaining a
nomination from either of them, but if he
can rally to his support the various trades
unions there may be some chance that one or
the other of the political parties will take
him up. 1t will be observed,
however, that there is very large ''if' in
the way, and the men who manage the trades
unions, despite the many foolish things they
