Ma GsoRos II. PnspLsrox has been
testifying before tho Committee on En-
psnditurss in the War Department. and
his testimony reveals his prominent
part in . very Questionable transaction.
During the war the Kentucky Central
railroad did q good deal Of work for the
government and was damaged at times
by the rebels. For tho formes II was
paid the prices agreed upon by all rail.
roads for government work. but which
vas below regular rates. The company
made . claim for full rates, together
with pay for damages done BY the rebels.
The government. Stanton then being at
the head Of tho War Department, re-
fused TO allow IL and the claim was
dropped. Six years after when Dslknap
had become Secretary. the claim was
revived BY Mr.. Psndlston and prompt
ly paid. Mr.. Pendleton was the
President Of tho company. but rs
such no took tho claim for collection
with the agreement that no should re-
esivs hfty per cent. Of whatever was OBJ
tanned. In other words, Is President Of
the company and tho guardian Of Its
interests. no made q bargain with him
self q attorney 10 collect the eompany's
claims. The claim was paid. apparently
with no objections, and the main ques-
ton which the committee has to do With
In whether there was any undue instru-
mentality in tho Department, and what
was the secret Of Mr.. Psndleten's infiu-
encs which procured the almost imms-
date payment Of 4 rejected claim. The
charge Ia that he had the aid OF Mrs.
Bowers then. Mrs.. Bslknap nov; but
this hs Of ours strenuously denies.

IL In now o matter of discussion with
tho management Of the great American
Centennial Exposition. as well A. with
tho holy inhabitants Of the good Quaker
City. whether the great show shall b
allowed to run on Sundays or not. To
tho people Of Nevada or California the
very idea Of even raising the question
would appear rather ridiculous; for we
can well appreciate and understand the
many disadvantages which would most
iniallibly result from such q n~onsensical
proceeding. Should tho bigoted Puri.
tanical notion prevail. and the great
Centennial Exposition DO closed on
Sundays. although II might suit and
agree with the red-neeked orthodox por'
ton Of tho Philadslphians. yet II would
not by any means suit the wishes and
convenience Of tho thousands coming

The two opinions delivered in
the Supreme Court yesterday by
Chief Justice Waite on cases aris-
ing under the Enforcement act o.
May 3lst, 1870, for acts committed
in louisiana and Kentucky, re-
spectively, are timely and will do
much TO mark more cleary the
relations of the United States 10
the various States in matters re-
lating to the suffrage. II was, per
haps, natural that in the period
succeeding the rebellion, when the
centiipetal forces evolved in that
great struggle were still acting.
that Republican Congress should
overstep the limits Of the Consti-
tuition in its haste to secure the
moral and material fruits Of giving
citizenship to the negro. The con-
stitutional amendments forbade the
States TO "abridge' the privileges
or immuities Of any citizens Of the
United States, or the right to vote
Of any citizens on account Of race,
color or previous condition Of SER
vitude /; but the triumphant major
ity in Congress lesped at once to
the extreme Of making the "sppro-
pirate legislation" the vehicle for
creating new privileges which the
Constitution did not confer, and de-
creeing unconstitutional pains and
penalties for the denial Of the priv
ileges 60 created. With a general
election looming mp and the coun-
try In . calm mood TO consider
constitutional limitations 1t is well
to hear the voice OF the Supreme
Court rebnking such legislation,
and declaring it imperative for

penal parts, Of application for want

A RICHMOND CITIZEN HAS HIS PORTRAIT
PAINTED BY ONE OF TIE OLD Masters
From private letter from citizen OF Rich
mond now in Munich we CLEAN the follow
ing item Of transcendant artistic import
ance:
lem perfectly delighted with Munich,
and especially with its galleries OF fine paint
ings. I am so utterly delighted with the
works OF the old masters that have en-
gagged one Of them to paint my portrait.
when it is finished I will send it home to
Richmond to show you what the old mas
ters can do"
II the correspondent had only mentioned
the name of the cold master" he had en-
gagged we would have been better satisfied.
we are now left in doubt as to whether II
was Mike Angelo, Murillo, or Jackano
EIderino.
