There Is a tide In the affairs OF merchants and
OF business men, to slightly alter Shakespeare,
which, II taken at It's nood leads on TO fortune.
No man doing business In Washington can fall
to note the fact that extraordinary demands are
about being made upon citizens for the comforts
and conyenlences which the thirty thousand
strangers now pouring into the city from all
quarters will naturally and absolutely require
1t Is not alone food, board, and rooms that they
want, but nevertheless every one able TO supply
these should make use OF the columns Of the
REPUBLICAN In letting the faca be known. A
majority OF the strangers will naturally look 10
this Journal for information, and to a great ex.
tent will be guided by Its recommendation and
regular advertisements concerning the thinRs
they want. Dry goods merchants, dealers In
fancy articles, &C., OF course know that thou.
sands on thousands OF ladies' are preparing for
the Inauguration ball, and have got to have
dresses for the occasion. The business adyant-
ages which Washington offers them In this re-
gard ought TO be made known In the REPUBLICAN
II Increased trade, large sales, and quick profits
are objects worth aiming at Restaurant Keen

before the thrOng Of visitors their bills OF fare
and prices. They will be read in the RBPuBLI.
CAN, and lead TO immensely increased patronage.
Livery stable keepers ought to let all the strSn.
gers know where to secure horses and car.
rlages. Those who have rooms and board will
obtain quick and profitable tenants by taking a
line or two Of space In the REPUBLICAN. An
who have anything for sale or anything that will
attract the attention Of the rapidly Increasing
mood Of people must remember that the medium
OF the REPUBLICAN Is the safest, surest, widest,
and best means Of communicating with the
public.

THE PENSION LAWS

III C9dlfying the pension laws II waB hopcd
that Congress would have placed ON grounds of
equality all persons entitled TO pension under
the law; but the bill now receiving Its finish.
ing touches seems to pcrp0tuate great lnjus-
tiec, For example = soldier, within year
"r Two after the war, applies for pension; his
application Is held under various prctcxts at
The Pension OnlcC, or perhaps his own ina
hility to proceed, for Ave years, and then,
unless the records Of the War Department,
necessarily and coniesscdly incomplete prove
the claim, II Is barred and rejected, while the
one who has applied recently has Gve years
In which 10 procure his evidence.
Such rule could be justified on one theory
only, that the delay was the cuIpable ncgli.
gencC of the claimant; but the facts arc that
the office Is mainly responsible for all the de-
lays In other words, debtor keeps his cred.
itOr at bay for five years, and then brings
him under statute Of limitations.
The House Of Representatives has twice
during this month repealed this part Of the
law, and placed claimants, carly and late,
ON the same footing, excepting, indeed, that
no new claimants get any pension for their
past years Of suffering. II they have battled
with disease rather than ask aid Of the Gov
crnmcnt they are now assisted only from the
date Of filing conclusive evidence Of their
right to pension.
We hope the Senate will assent to the bill |
OF tue House Military Committee. It may be |
added that an amendment has been proposed |
which would meet to some extent the evils |
complained Of, hut that ii Is nulllhed by the
fact that the War Department cannot report
from the records as they arc as fast as il Is
required to, much less undertake the task of
radical corrections. 1t will bc seen at A
glance that this amendment affords no relief
whatever. II Is claimed that the repeal Of
,ccuon q, act Of July I, 1864, by which
'laims arc barred, would let In claimants and
'ost the Government something. We can
'nly say In reply that economy might sug.
,cat the repeal Of all pension laws, and leave

LAST NIGHT's DISPATCHES from the Pacific
slope furnish accounts Of recent talk had
by certain peace commissioners with Captain
Jack, the MOdoc chief His men, some Of
them at least, are armed with needle guns,
and claim that they can do much more exc
cution 10 the next battle. All things con-
sidered, this appears us no idle boast. The
peculiar impTegnabIlity Of their naturally
fortified position, added to their determined
'plrit and experience in such warfare, make
the band dangerous enemy for our troops to
encounter. We arc In favor of the peace
policy with reference to the Indians, but, at
the same time, we arc inclined to think II
quite necessary to occasionally show them
the power Of the foe they arc dealing with.
From present appearances, ihero will yet be
some fighting before peace b established, and
II Is to be expected that 10 more blunders
will be made when our troops again engage

THE CREDIT MOsILIER DEBATE.

The debate in the House yesterday was
virtually a continuation Of the discussion
Prccipltatcd ON MoDlay by the submission Of
General Buffers impeachment report, In
which the jurisdiction Of the House over the
acts Of members ommitted before their elec.
tiOn as such mcubers was denied. The utter
absence Of au' combination, partisan or
otherwise, In support Of the Poland report Is
most notable feature. Both parties seem
to be divided but evidently there is major
ity In support Of General Buffers theory.
Tho end approaches, and to-day the credit
