The Grand Chinese CarnivaIe.

We understood from DR.. All Kee,
that the Chinese New Years festi-
vities came to conclusion here last
night I'VE say here" because We be-
lieve the period of this noisy feast-time
is more matter of local choice than Of
universal custom.) If the good Doctor
is mistaken in this statement, the noise
of the bursting of many crackers from
the neighborhood of Chinatown to-day
will inform US all of the fact This just
ended festival has been more than usu-
ally vivacious. The plenitude of hya-
cinths has been almost unprecedented.
Not only is every Chinese establishment
adorned with these delicate flowers, but
nearly every citizens residence, AS wei.
Especially III families whore Chinese
servants are employed Is this fact obser-
vable. The children Of all these en-
ployer's of Cinnamon have been furnish
ed with fire crackers through the bestow-
ing of this generosity The widest coed
feeling has prevailed, and each China
man has seemed to vie with his fellows in
promoting the growth of hyacInths and
causing the loud banging of bombs and
crackers. Yesterday was day of
great e1plosiveness of character. The
extra noise of the afternoon took Us
to Chinatown. We got there just in
time to see and hear the performance of
exploding the longest string Of fire.
crackers We ever experienced. The
string was at least fifteen feet long---the
crackers woven in from side-to-side after
the usual manner---and was fired while
hanging suspended from a pole held
from a balcony high enough for the
lower end of the string to be we'll off tho
ground. While the sharp voll-y which
rang out from these was falling on the
ear. bombs were exploding in quick sue
cession and tremendous booming. Hos
FATALITIES were the order OF the day, and
the ladies and gentlemen who visited
the scene of the Celestial fun were
treated to candies and nuts and the
queer s~eetmeats that form an INSOFAR
able part of the Chinese larder. There
has been, in fact. during these holidays
a good deal Of Inflammation between
the Caucasisns and the Mongols.

Close of the Volume.

Again have We completed another
volume of the PALLADIUM, and again
for the forty fifth time do we return
thanks as one of the three or four
surviving publishers of the paper,
under its present name, for the patron
age bestowed upon it, and, as we enter
upon the 45th year. is it too much to
ask those who have stood by us for so
many years to give us another boost"
towards making the PAIL ALBUM still
better than it has been, by not only
taking and paying for it themselves;
but induce others to come and do
likewise?
Our political position is Republican,
from the crown of our head to the
soles of our feet; and we always do
our level best in dealing out ample
justice to our Democratic opponents

ical salvation-persuade them to

EXtrA-SeSsiOn.

Gov. Hendricks, gives the excuse
for calling an extra session of the
Legislature, because of disagree,
ment between the Senate and House
of Representatives at the present
session of the general assembly, a
failure to pass laws indispensable to
the administration of the state gov
eminent, including the revenue and
general appropriation bills, has oc-
Cured and, because thereof. the
public welfare requires a special
session of the general assembly.
Accordingly the extra session com
menced on Tuesday, yesterday
and will continue, it is supposed as
long as Noah's flood-'foity days
and forty nights but we trust it
will not be quite as destructive as
that notable event. Can't tell
though!

The Bounty bill.

Our neighbor of the '.Independ-
emit" goes off half cooked, in con-
sequence of the non action OF
President Grant, in regard to
what is termed the bounty equal
ization bill,'' which he refused to
sign, and, if there had been tirae,
he would have sent in veto mes
sage. The country may thank him
for saving S150,00O,O0O or $780,
100000 of the public funds from a
reckless, indiscriminate, and I'm
just distribution, fully one third of
which would have found its way
into the pockets of cormorant
claim agents, who would have
waxed fat and sleek on the profits
they anticipated from that source.
A contemporary gives the following
outline of the bill as it came from
the House, and its provisions after
the Senate fixed it up:
'sAs the bill came originally from
the House it was objectionable
onl y on the score of hard times
and an empty treasury. It pro-
vided for the payment of bounty at
the rate of 500 year for the time
of actual service to all who had
carried arms in the Union army
during the war of the rebellion,
after deducting in each case, any
Federal, State, county, or local
bounty that had been paid. This
was literally an Equalization bill,
since it provided for the payment
of bounty to actual soldiers who
had enlisted and borne arms from
patriotic motives and had received
no other compensation than the
pay of the regular troops. But the
moment the bill reached the Sen
ate, it was loaded down with
amendments destroying its original

Few persons have any idea of
the amount of money paid by the
Northern States during the war of
the rebellion in the shape of local
bounties. A statement recently
prepared for the information of
Congress shows that the total
amount thus paid by Twenty-Five
States was $2S6,647, 246 The
largest amount paid by any State
was that of New York, $50, 500, 22S,
Pennsylvania paid S43,154, 1856:
Ohio, 1913, 557, 1873, Indiana, S9,IS2,
355. These local bounties were
paid late in the war, mostly during
the last year or two. The bounties
paid ranged from 5000 to $500, and
in some localities as high as $1,000
was paid The enormous aggregate
shows that the national debt is far
from representing the whole cost
of the war Moreover, in estimating
its cost to the whole country, the
cost and losses to the Southern
side must also be taken into account
A correct presentation of the grand
total would satisfy almost any one
that the Democratic rebellion did
not pay.

''Mr Tyner's nomination by the

Senate, on the steam elevator which
is provided, and the little fellow,
leaning close to the side, looking
out of window, his head struck a

ascent or descent, and has no style

be built or the present one abol

The FOrfy.fhird Congress Leaves a
Legacy TO Its Successor.

The report of the Ways and Means
Committee in regard to the Pacific
Mail Investigation concludes as fol-
lows: In order that another Congress
may have it in its power to pursue this
inquiry and the guilty parties, il any,
we discovered. and that the disgrace
belonging to such discovery may at
tacl exclusively to tile individuals in
volved, and not rest upon the Forty
second Congress as a body, they re-
commend that the evidence, and
especially that relating to money paid
to these two parties (King and Shu-
maker), and to the action of Alden B.
Stockwell, be delivered to the clerk of
the House of Representatives, to be
laid by him before the next House, of
which body J. G. Shumaker and viii
liam s. King are members elect. Mr.
King is not a member of the present
House and not within its jurisdiction,
and the committee is not prepared,
therefore, to make any recommends
ton affecting him except as embraced
in the accompanying resolutions. 1t
is evident that the testimony of Stock
we'll may be of vital importance to the
credibility of Shumaker The COM
lnittee, therefore, think it may better
tend to just disposition of the case
to give an opportunity for further evil
dence, with the strongest motive on
the part of this witness to furnish a
more satisfactory explanation Of his
connection with these disbursements.
The enormous evil attending the ex-
istance of an unregulated lobby, with
license to appear before the commit
tee and urge measures upon the mem
bers upon the fraudulent pretense
that they are privately retained by the
interested parties, calls tor further
legislation. The committee in con-
Guiding their report deem it necessa-
~ for the protection of Congress
against future transactions as discred-
liable as those they have now brought
under review that a law should be
passed requiring every person oppos
ing and advocating measures for pr
yate interest to appear in his capacity
as retained attorney or agent. They
present bill designed to throw some
guards around Congress and the pub
lie interests in this respect
The facts of this case, also, they say,
disclose that sums have been paid to
influence the action or in reward of
two employees of this House, and of
reporters gallery. Such practices,
they say, meri; the condemnation of
the House. They also present in the
bill a measure to prohibit in future
this class of persons from using their
positions corruptly or for pay to pro-
cure the passage of any measure pend
ing before Congress.
The committee do not recommend
further action in the case of the two
employees of the House who, after the
passage of the act, received rewards,
as shown in their evidence, as they
are informed that both have resigned.

character, and embracing the fol
lowing classes:
l. The home guards, taking in
tens of thousands of men in Mis-
souri,, Kentucky, Tennessee, West
Virginia, and other border States,
of doubtful loyalty, who merely did
guard duty at home over their own
and neighbors' property, were
never under fire in the United
States service, and received all the
pay that was promised to them.
2 Transfers, wagoners, arti
fcers, musicians, and all the mani
fold dependents of active army
service, who are not enlisted,
rarely, if ever, incur danger, and
enter the service of the government
for the same motives they would
enter private service.
3. All the ex-slaves who had
been in any way attached to the
army, and who were amply paid in
gaining their emancipation from
slavery.
4. Certain Indian tribes in the
West who had engaged in war for
a period with other Indians Of
supposed rebel proclivities.
5 Seamen engaged all along the
Atlantic coast and the rivers in
transportation business.
6. Even these additions did not
satisfy the reckless demagogues,
and they made a linalf grand and
comprehensive bid for votes by
striking out the provision deduct
ing State and local bounties.
They thus destroy the equalization
feature of the bill, and provided
for paying those who enlisted in
the latter part of the war, and who
received local bounties ranging
from $500 to $1,000, at just the
same rate as those who enlisted
earlier in the war and did not
receive dollar of local bounty.
The Senate amendment changed
the original apr opriation of 1875,
100000 or $50, 00O,00O to $50, 600.
600 or S20O,O00,000. The Senate
then added the provision that the
Secretary of the Treasury might
sell bonds and increase the public
debt to any amount necessary to
pay the multitudinous claims under
this monstrous bill. Had the bill
been permitted to become a law, it
would have absorbed all the revc-
nue. from the new tax bill for two
or three years to come, and also
added S10O,00O,00O to the national
debt"
