POOR PENDLETON'S PICKINGS.

Pendleten adds another name to tile list
of fallen statesmen. Ninety thousand dol
lars out of the Government treasury into
the pocket of "Gentleman George" the
ambitious Democratic aspirant for the
Presidency, at one grab, is not SO bad-for
Pendleton. 1t stamps him as the very
prince of lobbyists. Mr.. Samuel Ward
and Mr.. Samuel Randall dwindle into in
significance in the story of the Lucky Rail
road Spectators success in worthless
claims. Belknap even, with his paltry
$50, 900 proves mere pettifogger in the
light of recent developments. In 1869
Mr.. Pendleton became the President of the
Kentucky Central Railroad. This road
had an old claim against the Government
for freight and transportation charges
alleged to have been incurred during the
war. Two successive Secretariesof War
MIR. Stanton and General Rawlings-had
ignored the claim as illegal and unjust
Mr.. Pendleton, in the double capacity of
President of the road and Administrator
of the estate of deceased brother in. law
Bowler which estate held three -fifths of
the interest of the Company, came to Wash
ington to push the claim, relying undoubt-
eddy for success upon the fact that General
Belknap was Secretary of War. He pre-
sented his claim, secured its reference to
Assistant Advocate General Dun, who
reported it favorably to the Secretary, the
q,
friend of Mr.. Pendleton. The Secretary
passed the claim. ordered the account to be
made up in the War Department for $14S,-
500. 6e, for which amount requisition was
made out and paid Mr.. Pendleton OF
this amount he appropriated to his ind-
vidual use and account the handsome sum
of 800, 900, possibly only $4,000 On this
point Mr.. Pendleton's memory being some
what defective. The Railroad Company,
to whom the amount was payable, if at
all due, had long considered the claim a
hopeless one. Bowler, while living, would
gladly have sold it at five cents on the
dollar, and the Directors of the Road very
readily agreed to pay Pendleton one half
the claim if he succeeded in realizing it.
Thus it appears that in consideration of
the eminent legal services and the physical
outlay of two visits to Washington, the
shrewd railroad President and faithful
Administrator realized the smart fee of
$50, 900 or 500, 900, which morally belonged
to the Railroad Company over which he
presided, and three. fifths of which was
justly due the children of the deceased
Bowler. Viewed in any light, the facts of
the case place Mr.. Pendleton in the dis
graceful list of political sharpers who prey
upon the Government, and stamps him as
unworthy the reputation heretofore enjoyed
by him.

DEMOCRATIC ECONOMIES.

There is one commendable thing in the
action of the majority of the House in cut
ting and slashing away at the pay and posi-
tions Of department clerks, who are both
without powers Of retaliation and means
of preventing their designs. Again, the
Democracy stand in no danger of hurting
any of their Southern friends, as the ma
jority of such gentry left to join the South
ern Confederacy at the outbreak OF the
rebellion, taking with them all of Uncle
Sans property they could lay their hands
on. So it wont hurt the Southern Democ
racy; beside, when the rebel element re-
turns to power again IF they do, and all
these places are filled by the men who run
things before the war, the salaries can be
put back at the old figures and every thing
will be lovely again.

THE DISTRICT BONDS.

The joint resolution to provide for the
payment of the interest on the District
bonds met with another rebuke in the
House on last Friday. Political buncombe
was considered of more necessity to the
wants of the Democracy than providing
for the pledges of the Government to pay
its debt. This may be economy in Dem
ocratic sense, but hardly think the peo-
pie will see it in that light.

" ARLINGTON, ID. c., March 10, 1876.
DEAR WuIo:-The galleries of oar ex-
Confederate House of Representatives have
been unusually well filled during the past
week, every day it being whispered that
something was to be done in the " Bclknap
affair." Good Christians, therefore, neg
lected their Lenten dutes, and laid on the
shelf, for the time being, the unimport-
ant duties of the church in order
to be on hand when fellow NOR
tai was to be humbled. | am not going
to write much on this eruption, because
every thing has been said that can be.
Gushing reporters have invaded the most
sacred precincts of domesticity in order to
| cater to depraved taste for the slightest
information concerning the movements of
the disgraced family. The crime itself is
almost lost sight of in the delight of hav-
ing sensation.
Two of the marked characteristics of the
American people are their greed for sensa-
ton and arrival at hasty conclusions.
Their passions are easily excited, and for
the moment, reflection has very little to do
in shaping their action. Under this condi-
ton of things, MISREPRESENTATION is made
of what is either said or published con-
corning men in official positions. and it
would be folly to try to reason upon the
innocence of any public man charged with
completely in crime.
But to return to our
Ey- CONFEDERATE FOG BANK,
the proceedings of which, during the past
week were not only boisterous and disor
derby, but actually disgraceful. The mem
bers of the majority forgot the dignity of
the positions they have proved themselves
to be SO capable of disgracing, and the
major part of the week was wasted in I'M
SEE mly wrangling, the evident intent of the
| Opposition being not to transact legitimate
| business, but to make capital against the
| Republican party in the pending New
| Hampshire campaign. Whatever of gam
they may have made by the exposure of
| BtlknapS malversation will certainly be
doubly discounted by the repetition of such
scenes rs occurred in this wonderful House
within the past few days. The whole
management of Beknap's case so far has
been for political buncombe, and every
attempt Of the Republicans to follow the
| true line of the law INSTRUCTED, simply
! because OF the fact that if adopted it would
rob the Opposition of the opportunity for
| speculation. But the game wont work,
the hypocrisy is too apparent, and the
manifest object of the Democracy too clear
to deceive the people. And what
