The French residents of New York, with
the exception of very small clique OF
Bonapartists, speak of the death of Louis
Napoleon with satisfaction. The editor OF
the Courier des Etafs Unis, as soon as the
tidings were received, visited French resi-
dents whose opinions are worth much con-
sideration. and on all hands the subject of
his death was met with Indifference, or a
contemptuous smile that spoke volumes Of
satisfaction or disdain." The Messenger
says that "his principal merit during life
was being good COMEDIAN and the
strangest thing of all is that there should
exist in France Bonaparte party.

an " inclination to submit the case To the

the conclusion that it was best to do moth

amongst those who suffered by the ravages

House by the Judiciary Committee, which
takes the ground that the money must go
into the general fund of the L. 5. Treasury,
it being indemnity for wrongs done to the
nation and not to individuals. But while no
legal claim can be made by any persons to
be paid out of this fund, the committee

measures for carrying out this moral oph-
CATION. The claims are divided INTO h'e

awards thereupon. The bill introduced in
the Senate differs from this in providing
special commission of five persons to sit at
Washington a year and decide claims.

is little doubt that the money will be

Mr.. Willard Of Vermont, from the com
mittee on invalid pensions, reported on
Thursday bill directing the restoration to
the pension rolls of the names Of such pen
sioners of the war of 1912 as were struck
from the rolls under the act Of February,
1862, on account of having aided and en-
couraged the rebellion, the pensions to be
paid from the passage of this act also
emitting such persons to the benefit of the
act Of the 18th Of February, 1871, granting
pensions to the survivors of the war of 1872.
The bill, if passed, will probably restore to
the rolls about one thousand pensioners who
were stricken off under the act of 1862. If
We understand the sentiment of Vermont, il
is, by a great majority, not in favor of
paying pensions TO any persons who gave
aid and comfort to rebels, or who took up
arms in support of the rebellion, though
they may have been in the service of the
United States in 1872 and received pensions
from the United States Treasury Such
service and the acceptance of such recogni-
ton thereof, seem 10 u only to aggravate
their crime Moreover, if we begin paying
pensions to rebels, where are We TO stop?
