MEXICAN WAR PENsIoNERs-The
Senate Pension Committee have re-
ported adversely the bill to grant pen
sions to the survivors of the Mexican
war. This decision is understood to
have been arrived at more as a meas.

of belief that such pensions ought to
be paid. This is one of the many
matters which are to be Intentionally
laid over IN the hope or expectation
that they will be favorably acted upon
by the next Congress.

THE ALDINE-Tke AldiRe for June (No. 1S OF
the current series) has come to hand, and it may
he called one of the most substantial numbers OF
the publication which has yet appeared, appeal.
ing, throughout, to the most refined and eleva.
ted sentiments. This fact is especially notable
in several of the publications, Mothers Darling,
the first, being perfect apotheosis of that holi-
est and most selfsacrifcing of affections convey
ed by the name; while in two companion-pic,
lures, ''The Helping Hand" and "Saved and
Lost" the story of mans spiritual peril and his
only abiding refuge is told most strikingly.
Three fine pictures open the promised series of
Picturesque Europe" in "a Waterfall in
the Pyrenees," gem of Albert Reger, the orig
inal of which formed one of the leading art-at-
fractions at Vienna in 1S73-and two charming
ovals, "Surmont on the Bonze," and "The Her
on's Rock" both from picturesque Auvergne.
The other full-page picture of the number is a
graphic "Battle ofBunker Hill, following out the
patriotic Centennial series commenced three
months ago; and handsome illustration of Scott
the drinking Stag" three noble views'of Dur
ham Cathedral, and portrait of Hon. Luther B.
Wyman, of Brooklyn, make up the art contents
of the number.
In letter-press, no story of the secession war
has been so plainly and yet sweetly told, as is
"a Virginia Girls Experience at the Fall of Rich
mond," of which part is given in this number.
The novel Of the Revolution, The Spur of Mon
mouth" broadens and deepens in interest, and
introduces new characters enough to indicate a
wide field before the conclusion. Bsides these,
of prose, there are a charming little domestic
story, "The Bellenden Difficulty" by Florence
Allen, understood to be the promising daughter
of the lady who taught the world the sweet
words of "Rock me to sleep, mother" pleasant
paper on Germantown" by Chaudos Fulton;
the first of scrappy series by John Thomas, Jr.,
on ''Odd Personal Resemblenees;" careful papers
on Bunker Hill, on music, Art and literature.
Then, and to conclude, we have the following
Poems-all worthy of their place; ''The Mothers
Darling" Gllustratory) by John Hay Furness;
THE Best to Come" by a pen of much past hon
or, that of Mrs. Susan Archer Tally Weiss; "June
Roses" by Alice Williams; 'One Maiden's Way" "
by C. Woodward Hutson; and 'The Brook of Kill
dare" by Sarah ID. Clark-making up whole of
quite the average AldiRe excellence, which is all
that need be said. The Aldne Company pub

VIOLATING CoNFIDEECE.-SOme of the papers
are in a bad way, ard are going for the Topeka
Commonwealth for publishing and commenting on
the grasshopper circular of the Kansas Pacific
Railway. They call it bad manners, violation
of confidential communication, and all that.
Tley think that editors who did not feel like
complying with the order, should have sent it
back, declining it, and have said nothing about
it. We published and commented upon the cir
cular, several days before the Commonwealth did,
and suppose these lectures on manners apply to
us as well. For our part, we did not feel that
we had violated any Frle of propriety in that
publication. The circular was not private let
ter or personal communication it was printed,
and a similar copy sent to every paper in the
State. 1t was q request, almost an order, that
the newspapers should suppress all damaging
reports of grasshoppers. The papers, to which
the people look for news and facts, were asked
to suppress the facts and deceive the people, os-
tensibly to restore the reputation of the State,
but really to revive the depressed busines of a
railroad by deceiving the people. The papers
that are making a fuss about this violation of
confidence, and misrepresenting the grasshOpper
facts it is pretty safe to say, obeying the or
ders of the Railroad Company.

PROPHECY ABOUT THE BEECHEE TRIAL--It
now seems to be pretty certain that the great trial
will have one of two results-eithcr verdict
in Beechel's favor or IA disagreement of the jury.
The chances are in favor of the latter if the jury
resembles the average sentiment of the public
after a reading of the evidence. Ii would be
difficult to find twelve men, good and true, out
side the Brooklyn courtroom, chosen without
any previous knowledge of their sentiments, who
would agree on verdict of guilt or innocence.
For the particular jury inside the courtroom tn
apree 10 n verdict on either side would be for
them to assume that they were able, to the com
plete satisfaction and conviction of every one OF
them, to sift the mass of complicated evidence
and harmonize the contradictions, which have
divided and puzzled equally Intelligent men
outside the courtroom. The probabilities, there
fore, are strongly in favor of disagreement

YoIume Nineteen.

7h;s ;s the first number of the nineteenth year
of the publication of the ChieE. We have been
:, tho habit at the beginning of each volume, of
onte,;ro into short review of the past career of
a.. ,,orer. Int we have concluded to omit this
nntiI n. completion of our twenty-frst year.
w. once more shake hands with and cOngratu-
late those old stand-bys, who are recorded on our
hooks as having commenced with volume l.,
Nnmber /; and we tender our sincere thanks to
the hundreds of patrons who have come to our
list from that time down TO the present.
W. can Init promise to do our best in the fu-
.,-a to make an acceptable paper, as we have
dome in the past. Just now is a fearful time for
,,o,rspaners. In every direction, they are falling
bv the wayside, or curtailing their proportions.
We sball endeavOr 30 do neither. We do not
tnoyv in what shape we shall come through, if
ve come through at all; but we hope to be on
hand nromptIy We want to be as lenient as
possible with our patrons in the present emer
rancv: but we trust they will not forget that
the printer and his hands must live, and that he
must pay cash down for every sheet OF paper and
pound of ink used in making newspaper Ev-
ery one should endeavor to pay at least part of
his Indebtedness If he cannot pay all. We trust
that all knowing themselves in arrears will re-
spond. without waiting for bills to be sent them.
We expect to give all the County news and the
most interesting of the general news, and to fur
nish such entertaining and useful reading as
shall make every one feel that he cannot keep
house without the Chiet, notwithstanding the
hard times. Let MS all keep a stiff upper lip,
help one another through, and stand to our posts
until old Doniphan County is ont of the wilder
ness, and again on the high road of prosperity.
If all do this, the burden will seem lighter on
each one, and

F The Democracy have been promising the

thieves and corruptonists. As fast as they get
the power, they carry out their pledges-like
they have in New York. Last Winter, We heard
but little else besides Gov. Tilden's war against
the thieving Canal Ring in New York; but up to
date, not a single member of the Ring has been
punished. On the other hand, Tilden has par
doued IngersQll, one of Tweed's Ring, out of the
Penitentiary; and now the Court of Appeals, al
most unanimously Democratic, has released
Tweed, the greatest Ring thief of the age. Yes,

q" The Atchison Champion publishes extracts
from newspapers, to prove that it is the Oldest
paper in the State The witnesses are argainst
US, and We have left us now only the single fact
that the Chief was established in the Spring of
1857, and the Champion in the Spring OF 1858.
That is hard fact to get over. This point set
tied, the Emporia Netrs ranks as the second old
est paper, having been establiehed few weeks
after the Chief. The Champion is undoubtedly
entitled to rank as the third paper in the State,
in point of age. On the same principle that it is
setting up claim as the oldest, its editor might
as well borrow George Washington's military
suit out of the Patent Office, and then claim to
have been Commander-in- Chief of the American
army in the Revolutionary War.

II 1t is said that Senators Ingalls, and Harvey
are making raid to secure the removal of George
7. Anthony as Internal Revenue Collector for
Kansas. Anthony has been over the State, beg
ging for signatures to petition in favor of retain
ing him in office; and has been in Washington,
begging the President not to kick him out An
thOny is too honest-we have heard him acknowl-
edge that he is hOnest-in fact the people of this
County had to pay little bill to convert us to
this belef-a sort of missionary work, you know.
Still, the Saints in Heaven should not be COM
PEELED to furnish Kansas with Federal officials,
when there some pretty good mortals who
would be willing to serve. If Ingalls, and Har-
vey succeed, although they may offend the angels
they will deserve the thanks of mortals for one
act, at least.
