Gen. BAncooK's defense closed yesterday,
mud II is understood that Mr.. SToHns will
this morning formally reques. tie Court to

d Washington dispatch Of Wednesday told
n neat little story to tho effect that the Gov
ern1nont steamer Dispatch was ready to sail
with sealed orders, aud intimatcd that hor
mission had something to do with tho Cuban
business, thus preparing tho public mind for
some startling event. It now appears TINT
thero were some inaccuracies in tho aboyc-
mentioned telegram. It is nscertnined
beyond q pcradventure that tho Government
has vessel propelled by steam, which vessel
is recorded in the Navy Department rs the
steamer Dispatch. It is also known that this
vessel is liab1c, as her namo indicates, to bo
sent upon any triaing crrand from ono At
lantio port to another, md her mission at tho
sa1na time not bo important enough to war
rant press dispatch announcing tho fact.
The nub Of the original story is, however,
spoiled by tho later announcement that tho
vessel has not received sealed orders, and it
Is not publicly known that she has received
any orders at nil.

Tho House Appropriation bill for the pen
sion disbursements went to tho Senate in
shape appropriating specifically certain
amount for nrn,y inva1ida, another for
widows. minors, and dependent relatives, and
still another for the survivors md widows of
tho War Of 1879. Tho scnate did not con-
slider tho details Of tho bill, but passed. bill
appropriating in bulk tho total amount
agreed upon in tho House, via: s28, 100000.
We regard this on an error on tie
part Of tho Senate. It should haye
aya;led itself Of the subdivisions in the
House bill to cut of portion of
tho pensions altogether. Tho million md
half appropriated On account of tho War
of 1912 might aud ought to be saved the
country, for the slight militia services in that
war have been paid for over and over again
long since. There ought also to ba material
reductions by this timo In the amounts ap-
propsiatel for widows and children, who
in the nature Of things must Iayo do
creased in number,-tllo widows by death
and remarriage, and the children by death
and coming OF ago. It is now nearly fifteen
ycars since tho War began, and nearly eleven
ycars since it closed Certainly during
that timo the deaths, rc1aarriages, and
aging OF minors Of both sexcs ought
to have 1nads material reductions in
the pension rolls; yet. in spite Of this, the
aggregate amount appropriated js as large as
ever. Had the 6onato given tho bill tho
proper examination in detail, it is scarcely to
be doubted that they would havo found
abundant evidences Of numerous fraudulent
disbursements in these itoms that would have
warrantod q reduction in the appropriations
Of several millions.
There is certainly one fenture in tho man.
agament Of pensions which bears evidence on
Its faeo Of gross extravaganza, This is tho
| cost Of disbursement. The Commissioner of
Pensions reports that It required Lust year
$685., ,507 to pay out tho pensions amount
ing to $29, ,500, 600. Now this Ia about II
per cent, while small collections can be made
and disbnrsed through agents anywhere in
tho country at from u to 5per cont. It is
easier aud cheaper to diBburse than to collect /;
| yet tho Government pays from three to Ave
times as much for disburaing the pensions a.
private persons pay for collecting their dues.
Nearly Ares millions and q half arc annually
paid out for salaries, foes, postage printing,
and tho other rcd-tapo processes incident to
tho pension disbursements. Tho salary
and fec list hes increased from S250,-
QUO In 1867, when tho pension.1ist was
nearly Us largo rs it is now, to 81, ESQ, 900 Ut
tho present time,-an increase Of 800 pei
cont. This showing cannot 10 explained OF
excused in any way satisfactory to the peo.
plc, and no appropriation bill should be
passed without reducing the expenses Tor dis
bussiug tho pensions in tho same ratio rs thos
have been increased within tho last few
yeara.
This reduction may still he mado by tht
House, eince the Senate have amended tht
form OF tue bill. 1t now goes buck to tht
J House for concurrence in tho amendment

Among tho members Of the present House
Of Representatives is tho Hon. GusrAvE
SouLE1ouEa, from Texas. He Is German
OF ability and promise. He ID known already
in certain circles as tho Democratic Carl
soHuaz OF tho House. Like most Germans
and all Terms, he Is uncompromisiugly in
favor Of honest money. lie knows and
recognizes specie alono as real money. He
rooently delivered in the House one Of tho
most striking speeches that has been made in
favor OF specie payments, and, while We are
not prepared to give 1t an unqualified ap-
proval, wo do not hesitate to pronounce it as
ilnmeasurably superior to tho policy OF tho
Resumption act which now stands in the
statute-books, and VIC dsairo to commend Mr.
sou1ElouKu for tic bold and straightforward
utterances on tho subject Of money which
should put to the blush men Of American
birth who desire to keep our national cur
ronoy below tho value Of that Of other
nations.

ingenious. IIo showed tho injustice Of re-
dcnming intersstbearing obligations Of the
Government before paying OF the non.inter-
est-hearing uotes, and cited United atatea
law Of May II, 1869, tho first section OF
which reads as fol]owss

twcon tho 6-2o bonds and the 10-to md
other per cents which on their faco aro
10 DO paid in gold. Tho interest on nil tho
bonds ia required to bo pnd In gold. But
tho Supreme Court Inns decided tint thai grcon-
baoks arc promises.to-pay dollars, not paper
dollars, but gold tiollars. II tho 6.20 bonds
arc payable In greonhacks, they arc, untlcr
tho decision OF tho Supreme Court, payable
not in paper dollars, hut in paper pfomisca-to-
pay gold dollars. The abolition Of greon-
backs, or promiscs-to-pay gold doilars, and
tho substitution Of paper money which is not
to bo redeemed at all, Is therefore VIOLA
tion of tho contract with tho lloldorH Of tho
Ego bonds, oven M TINT contraet is interpret
ed by tho paper-tuonoy party itself.
Tho new party demand monetary system
under which tho paper money, not notes,
is to be interchangeable into bonds
bcnring 3.G5 interest payable In paper. Tho
piper ''money," boing so utterly appreciated,
will naturally and promptly seek Investment
in tho bonds, because the bonds will hayo n
yaluo abovo tho money to the extent Of the
interest, no matter how small that may be.
Tho result, therefore, will bo, TINT tho $780,
oo0, 900 paper dollars will pass into tho form
Of an equal amount Of bonds, which Mt 3.C5
por cont interest will require tho payment Of
over $25. 900, 900 in other paper dollnra au-
nualfy for interest. It is true, this would
would produce such n contraction Of tho c,ir-
rcncy that tho country might hope to rcsumo
specie payment, but Of course tho remedy
would be further issue Of rnpor dol!arH Tin
harmony with tho gopius Of tue nation md
adapted to tho demands of Legitimate b,,si-
ness. Thus, in succession, tho paper money
seeking Investment in bonds would DO suc-
cceded by othor pnper money md by moro
bonds, until va will laro national debt Of
anch proportions TINT the only escape there.
from will DO in Wholesale repudiation.
Tho declaration tint all tho existing bonded
