Rcstore,l 10 tho Pen.,on L,,..

There is some little comfort in think
ing that the spirit of Radical injustice
cannot last forever. The bow Of bitter
ness and alienation cannot be kept
always bent. Time and the sense of
justice will at last relax it. Under an
ACT OF Congress-, passed in 1862. the
names of soldiers Of the war OF 1872, and
of their widows. who live in the Confede-
rate States, we're struok off the pension
list. They saddled all applications for
pensions from such persons with the con-
dition that they must provo their 10y
atty. By a bill which has just passed
the House of Representatives, this con-
dition has been removed. Governor
Hewley. of Connecticut, opposed it with
the usual staple of denunciatiop. but he
failed to make any serious impression.
His speech met no echo. Messrs. Will
lard. Bingham and Farnsworth sustained
the recommendation of the bill, and B.
q. Butler-mirdbile diciui-asked Con-
gress to discriminate between tho New
Orleans aoldiers of 1872 and those of
1852. He was loudly cheered, The
strangeness Of his sentiments, no doubt,
contributing to the favor with which they
were received. Tho bill passed, and a
small measure OF Justice has been done
by it.

The following is the text of the .reso.
luton introduced by Mr.. Banks in the
House Of Representatives.. Whereas, an
armed contest for independence, which
hus been maintained by the patriotic
people OF Cuba against the Government
OF Spain for more than four years, is
now without any reasonable expectation
OF present or remote termination; and
whereas this contest has been obstinately
continued, in total disregard of all the
rules Of civilized warfare, with O wanton
and careless sacrifice of the lives OF non
combatants, whether men, women or
children, and such a disregard of the
rights Of other nations as tolthreaten the
Intervention of peaceful relations with
Spain; and whereas it is believed that
the principal Governments of America
and Europe, in the interests of humani-
ty aud Christian civilization, desire that
some just and efficient means may be de-
vised to assuage the horrors Of this fra
tricidal struggle and promote q inst and
permanent peace; therefore, be it
Resolued, That the President of the
United States be, and hereby is, re.
quested, if in his judgment it be not in
consistent with tho rights Of this Go
vernment, to open communication with
such foreign Governments of America or
Europe as he may deem proper. with q
view to the adoption OF such general md
efficient measures as will ensure tho
safety of on-combatants, whether men,
women or children; encourage the eman
cipation OF slaves; enforce the strict OBJ.
servance Of the rules Of civilized warfare,
and establish in the island of Cuba, with
which oil nations have hitherto main.
taincd peaceful and important CONNER
cial relations, just and permanent
peace.
The resolution was referred to the

A most melancholy thing recently
happened to young gentleman in Paris.
He had been dining out and wining
pretty freely, and as he was going to the
bal doperd, he submitted himself to the
operations of street shoe-black. Lean
ing back in his chair he was. asleep be-
fore the polishing was concluded; but
when the juvenile artist found out the
condition of his customer he fastened
to improve it. He gently drew off the
boots. added his victims purse and watch
to the booty, gathered mp his brushes.
and departed. The gentleman was at
last aroused by his cold feet. and igno-
miniously made the best of his way home.

plain, reliable narrative of the news,
even without any head limo, to those ex.
travngant displays which arc too often

State. Notwithstanding this fact, the

The Mccullough Iron Company are
building another addition to their sheet
iron storage house at Rowlandsville, one
hundred feet long. The master wheel of
the lower rolling mill was broken about
two weeks ago. The upper mill is run
ming on full time. A reduction of wages
was made about the first of November of
IL per cent; and recently further reduc-
ton amounting to q per cent in all has
been made. Considerable dissatisfaction
was manifested by the workmen at this
"shrinkage in value" of their labor, but
they concluded it was better to continue
work till times frightened at the reduced
rates. The Company have partially grad
ed track from the Depot to the mills,
which is designed to bring the cars along
side Of the warehouse for loading the sheet
iron. The coal supply will be blought by
the same means, when this Improvement is
completed, within close proximity to the
furnaces.

school. this will make pure citizens.
3 The stud y of General History, one of
the usual sch col studies, when it is taught
philosophers lily, must have tendency to

4. In pa rticular the study of the Con-

debate.

Protracted meetings have been going on
at Cherry Hill, St. Johns and Flint Hill
churches for the past few weeks So far
the meetings have been successful, and
will probably continue for some time.
1t appears the Fourth is not yet rid of
bad and malicious boys, who care nothing
for character or reputation; but through
ignorance and bad training will persist in
inluring others to the disgrace of the neigh
borhood in which they reside. A few even
ings since while attending a singing school
one of our young friends had fine horse
blanket ripped from one end to the other,
and bolt taken out of his wagon. while
another had two bolts taken out of his car
riage, so as let him down as soon as he
started.
There has been a new hotel started at
Cowantown lately, we presume it will be
quite an advantage to the agricultural
