CuRIous Pension oAaE.-The sOn-
ate Committee on Pensions Gin Con-
gress) has agreed to give pension to
The widow Of David Bailey, Of the 18th
West Virginia Volunteers. Tho cir
cumstances Of the case, as brought be-
fore the committee, arc rather curious.
Bailey, who was home sick, on fur
Tough, went on election day, May rs;
1868, to the town Of Cologne. While
at tho polls he became engaged in
political dispute with a Confederate
sympathizer, whom no struck. After
ward on his way home from tho polls
he was attacked and beaten so severely
that he died in q very short time.
The case is one which clearly does not
come under tho law, as'Bailey died
from the effect Of o private broil, but
the committee say that the proyocatiOn
which he gave was because his feelings
as a "loyal man were outraged, and
they think he deserves to Be enrolled
as one Of the country's martyrs as
much as il he had fallen in battle
Morgan Mercury.

has been said lately upon the subject Of

settled law Of this country that the
right Of o State to tax property de-
pends upon tho duty ofthe State to

lection and taxation arc to go together.
Our constitution provides that tho

the duty Of the State To protect proper.
ty held for religious or charitable uses
none will deny, aud iftha argument
stopped here, the question would DO
one Of easy solution The fact, how.
ever, Is, that churches, schools, and
ether charitable institutions arc all
created and carried lin the interest
ofthe State, their Office being to re-
strain The vicious. educate tho young,
clothe and feed tho poor, and 70 heal

these institutions, IL taxes the least
costly aud most efficient agencies
which it employs to do its own work.
This fact leads to hesitation in the path
that otherwise would seem plain and
clear"

culation per head Of S12 40, whereas
now the circulation is reduced to about

passed him on o run before ho reached
tho Elk bridge. After entering the
bridge no was caught by the wrists by
some one, and in tho struggle that en-
sued he succeeded in releasing one
hand and with it drew areyolyer, but
this was wrenched from his grasp be-
fore he could use it, and then as rapid.
ly as possible they proceeded to rife
his pockets Of all his money, even
hunting out tho nickles and pennies

PROPOSED NEW INSTITUTE FOR YOUNG
LADIES.
On the 25th Of September there appeared IN
The NATIONAL REPUBLICAN an article headed
Education in Washington" which has been Of
great service in bringing about the probable con-
summation Of an enterprise which will not only
be an additional attraction to the vicinity Of our
city proper, but also muchneeded comprehen-
sive establishment for the education Of young
ladies'
Prominent ladies and distinguished gentlemen
like Hon. Montgomery Blair, the Bishop Of Ma
Tyland, Colonel Charles Aberd and others are
taking an active interest in the matter and move
with energy and great promise Of success towards
the speedy realization Of the plan. The Yestry Of
Rock Greek church have already passed resolu-
tiOn granting from eight to ten acres Of their
beautiful grounds for the purpose Of q site
A committee has been appointed for prepara
tory measures and subscription Of funds The
architects, J. L. Sm1thmyer & Co., (whO in the
competition for a new building for the Congress
siOnRl Library won the victory have been Sc
cured, and plans were prepared, and are now on
exhibition In the store Of Messrs. Chapman &
SOlOmOns, on Pennsylvania avenue for an ele-
giant edihce in the collegiate style, to be con-
structed Of brick with blueEtOne dressings bell
tower and several steeples of minor altitude-tbe
main building to be four stories high, so feet
long and us feet deep, with grand lecture-rOom
and capacity OF receiving three hundred stu
dents.
The exact location Of this institution will he IN
one Of the most picturesque spots within sight Of
the ume-hOnOred ROcE-creek church, and in brief
everything in the programme combines to Justify
grand expectations, and according to present
prospects there will not pass a year before our
charming enYirons will embrace, among other
attractions, an educational establishment Of the
highest character, inferior to few If any IN the
entire country and not only our permanent resi-
dents Will ENJOY the Dement'S Of so desirable an
improvement, but the families OF members Of
Congress and other transient visitors who gen
orally spend the winter and part Of the spring in
the District, Will rejoice to have SO great adj
Tantages so near them for the education Of their
young ladies. There can be no fear that an insti-
tuition, started under such auspices, should lack
patronage.
