PoL1T1CAL HARI-kARI.-If Assem-
biyman NJ. y. Bartlett runs for Con
gress this fall the chances are that the
mem bers of the Damphool 1nfirmary
will vote in body against him. On
the Fourth he acted as ensign for the
Knights of Pythias, carrying the flag
of the order in the procession. This
was strongly repugnant to the North
American sensibjli;ies OF q patriotic
member of the lntrmary, who re-
marked that ..Mr. Bartlett might think
he was making a strong point with the
Germans by carrying that id Dutch
flag, but he would find before the cleo
ton was over that he would have done
better TO have toted the Stars and
Stripes. "-[Eureka Sentinel, July II.

And last of all, he Is swindling the ladies

He stopped at my house for dinner,

Rutherford closed on him, and they went

for returning TO the pension roles the
names of those soldiers stricken there
from on account of sympathy with the
rebellion.
In the course OF the discussion Mr..
Hunton said that the number Of persons
who would be restored to the pensions
rolls under the bill would be only $50,
snd their annual amounts o. pensions
sS,965. The amount of arrearages was
not exactly known.
Mr.. Caswell moved &c amend BY for
bidding the payment Of arrearsge
Mr.. Caswelrs amendments was oppos-
ed by Mr.. Harris and Vance, the latter
making an appeal 10 the liberslity of the
house in regard to those old pensions.
Mr.. Hale remarked the democratic
side of the house was not exhibiting $
spirit of liberslity in cutting down nee
esssry appropriations and reducing the
salaries Of officials ssd In
turning out of office hundreds
of deserving men and women.
A Il this was done on the ground OF ne
cessity of economy. He reminded them
that there had been suspicious and sug-
gestions that every dollar saved BY this
pairing policy, would be eaten up By cer-
tain claims of one sort or another.
Coming from the southern part Of the
country, Mr.. Hunton responded, and re-
minded Mr.. Hale that when the annual
pension appropriation bill was before the
House, mem bers on the Democratic side
manifested any opposition TO It, and he
should never suppose anybody would
raise a question about the crippled prs
oners OF the war Of 1872.
Mr.. Banks said that there was some
l eason in Mr.. Halls suggestion, but still
the necessity OF retrenchment was so OBJ
vious that no member could safely refuse
to vote for il. But the question WAS en-
tirely different. 1t was an obligation, 3
debt on the part of the government He
thought the exception proposed by Mr..
Caswell ought not 10 be made.
The amendment offered by Mr.. Cas-
well was further opposed by Messrs. Har-
rison of Illinois, Hoge, Townsend, Cox
and others
Without disposing of it the committee
rose and the House adjourned.
