ALL ALIKE.

Wherever, says the Ha, tford Times,
the probe is thrust in the executive de
partmeuts at Washington, there /
found official corruption. Even the
Pension Office is about as bad as thu
rest Mr.. InRails, from 4 tnsa,
charged openly i'll the Senate, fe"
weeks ago. that at least five millions
Of dollars is fraudulently paid out
every year on account of pensions.
His estimate proves to be below the
reality. This service disbursed last
year $50, 24S. $50. Of this enormou
sum $50, 289, $40 was paid at the annual
rate to pensioners. and s., 05.lo9 was
claimed to be paid for arrears Oh pen
sions, of~which no separate account Is
kept. The Office expenses and dis
bursting agencies consume 81, G71,77S.
It thus appears that four per cent. on
the total amount paid to annual pen
sioners is appropriated for the official
machinery to get the money into their
hands. The Pension Office, like al
other branches of the putlic service,
is corrupt, inefficient, and directed oy
favoritism. The widows and orphans
of soldiers are systematically robbed
There is utter looseness, corruption
and absence of"-accountabil'ty.

Beecher and the sun.

The N. Y. Sun still hammers away
on Beecher, without mercy:
Mr.. Beecher is a cool customer.
This is shown by his preaching on as
if he was Amounted saint, instead of a
conspicuous example Of ministerial de-
graduation. On Sunday he rose to the
summit of GOODNESS. Exp!oitin the
gospel OF gush, that is, his own preach
ing, he ended by pointing out his
peculiar church as brilliant example
of what he called "the preaching of
the doctrine of love-" We should say
it was, provided by love he means free
love and the celebration of the practice
of that in its pastor Ii the brethren
exempifv the workings of love we ad-
wise preachers generally to inculcate
on their hocks some other doctrine.
As tor Mr.. Baecher, he seems to have
a stock of love on hand large enough
to supply the biggest church. His
'' heart bounds toward ALL" but if it
shall continue to bound in the way it
has done, we advise husbands and
fathers to take their wives and daugh-
ters to some place where it can't bound
toward them. Beecher has too elastic
a heart. and it boun Is too miscelIane-
ously.

Now it is said that King Alfonso has
sheathed his sword. and. with his
troops, who drove the Carlists from
Spain, has made his entrance into
Madrid. The city was decorated with
flags and banners, and shouts of wei
come fioated in the air. The young
King was hailed rs 'pacifcator" of his
country and the soldiers were crowned
with flowers. It was holiday in
which the people joined as they would
have visited bull fight or any other
public demonstration. Many of the
same men and women shouted when
Queen Isabella was driven from the
city in 1868, when Prince Amadeus
assumed the reins of supreme au-
thority, when the Repu olic was de-
clared and when the Bourbons were re-
instated in power by the action of the
army under some of its prominent
leaders. Shouts are cheap, and usu
ally directed toward the rising sun.
But what will the people of Spain gain
by the termination of the war, the ex-
lie of Don Carlos and a full fedged
Bourbon administration Some of
them have shed their blood to bring
about this consummation; others have
giten their money; and now the change
has been accomplished, what next :?
Spain wants liberal, progressive gov
eminent to put life and animation in
it's people and stimulate and develop
all it's resources. Railroads and tele-
graphs are needed. Commerce de-
mauds encouragement,a and agriculture
is suffering from bad laws, executed by
dishonest men. Taxes are crushing
the industries of the country, and
whilst most of the nations of Europe
are advancing in trade, commerce and
general prosperity, Spain has been so
crippled by wars, commissions and the
Vaccinations of selfish men as to oc.
cupy totally different position. And
to make matters worse the Bourbons
are now IL power. A weak King, a
corrupt ex Queen and bigoted Minis
tiers will have the management of
affairs. They will make the laws.
Elections will be farce. The Cortes
will run in the channel pointed out by
the Cabinet. Thus will Spain be cursed
with fresh injuries, and in short time
the throng that shouted when King
Alfonso entered Madrid will be ready
to cast their caps into the air if he
should be treated as was his royal
mother. Bourbon rule has been tran
silent Within the last half century in

COLONEL WADDELL AND COM
PULSORX PlLOTAGE.

We learn from a private letter from
Washington that Colonel Waddell has
been very active il opposition to the
bill now pending in Congress to change
the law in regard to compulsory pilot
age. The committee to whom the bill
was referred had agreed to make re-
port recommending its adop' ion, that
is, Recommending the reoeal Of the law
compelling vessels to take pilots. Col
onel Waddell appeared before the COM
mittee and spoke against the pas sage
of the bill; the last time he was -ac-
companied by Mr.. Goode, of Norfolk.
Virginia, ard by NJ. Hartridge, of
Savannah, Georgia. The result was
that the committee agreed to recon-
slider its determination to report favor
ally on the bill. Captain Ten Brock,
of Savannah, who represented our
pilots ill Washington this year as he
had done last year, was telegraphed for
by Mr.. Hartridge at the suggestion of
Colonel Waddell.
These facts have come to our knoyl-
edge and and we feel bound in duty to
"a faithful representative to lay them
before our readers. It is true that the
pilotage laws affect only a compare
lively small number of Colonel Wad-
dell's constituents, but that fact makes
him none the less vigilant, none the
less earnest and none the less success
full N his efforts to perform his whole
i!ufy 70 all Of his constituents.

IiAYEN nESERISI

Haven has been heard from again
1t seems he preached in Philadelphia
few days ago, but it was all about
the twelve apostles. lie didn't even
pray for President Grant, and never
opened his mouth about the third
term, Belknsp, Babcock, or Boss
Shepherd. The st. Louis Republican
is scandalized at the Bishops base de-
sertion of his friends in this their hour
of tribulation. The Republican thinks
if there ever was a time when the
third term business needed a strength
ening plaster applied to the small of
its back. and when Grant needed all
the temporal and spiritual support and
stimulants he can possibly get, that
time is now. Bedeviled by Schenck,
battered by Babcock, and broken by
Belknap, ne calls upon his friends to
rally around the flag and bring him a
srrong pair of crutches. And Haven,
that truly good man, who carried the
Boston Conference with him by
large majority few months ago, and
called heaven and earth to witness his
supreme confidence in and devotion to
''our beloved President" now turns
his Episcopal heel and breaches on
the apostles! Ingratitude and incon-
sisteDcy are no names for such con-
duct. He ought to be run through an
advisory council at once. Nothing
less than that will save him.

Fixtures were smashed. windows

torrents. The streets on the outside
became quickly crowded with an ex-
cited and yelling mob. Officers, greatly
attracted by the excitement, broke

Subterranean Streams.

[From the Macon Telegraph and Messenger. j
There can be no reasonable doubt
that southern Georgia and Florida rest
upon a substratum of marine lime
stone. which is permeated by subter-
ranean streams, often intersecting and
commune lting with each other.
This is shown in the great number
of so-called cline Sinks" which form
suddenly-evidently by break in the
limestone crust, and remain years filled
with pure and limpId water, which
never stagnates, though without visible
connection with any current. These
sinks vary greatly at different times in
their depth of water-sOmetimes they
are almost empty, and again full to
the surface of the earth without the
smallest visible aff1uent.
One of them sunk Immediately under
a six-mu!e wagon team driven by an
old African acquaintance of ours, who
escaped with his charge by a violent
exercise of the whip, and left behind
him sink which in few minutes con-
tanned depth of water he could not
fathom with ali his leading lines.
We have known wells to be sunk
both in Southern Georgia and Florida,
in which, after drilling at this lime
stone crust with crowbar, the bot
tom would suddenly give way, the
crowbar disappear and the water rush
up in such a volume that the we'll
would nearly fllin few sec onds, while
the noise of a rushing current below
was distinctly heard.
The same phenomena the Times
speaks of-the disappearance and re-
filling of lakes, has repeatedly occurred
in Middle Florida on a much larger
scale. Lake Jackson, near TalIahas -
see, has disappeared aud reappeared
twice within our recollection, and
neighboring lakes have varied greatly
in their volume of water independently
OF all surface coptrib buttons.
1t is we'll known that one, and we
think two rivers in Florida discharge
into the Gulf by subterranean chan
nels, miles beyond the coast line, while
one of them disappears aud reappears
before reaching the coast, until it
sinks finally to debouch by a subter-
ranean outlet into the Gulf of Mexico.
The great Silver Springs of the Ockla-
waha and Wakulla are nothing but the
sudden upburst of subterranean rivers:
aud finally we can account for the fact
that no staguant water is visible in the
thousands of little pools and ponds
aud lakes in that country, which are
without visible inlet or outlet only on
the theory that they all fad change
and circulation by sabterranean chan
nels.
