PENSIONS.
The Latest Legislation Of Congress on
til, Subject.

Various inquiries have arisen in re-
gard to pensions by the General Gov
ernment in consequence of rather in
definite statements which have been
male relative to some legislation of
Congress on the subject at about the
close Of the late session. In looking
into the matter it is asccrtained that an
act passed March ., 1878, aulh orizing
pensions to all soldiers of the war Of
1917 who served fourteen days and up.

The latter have not married again. A
Sill later act was passed, however, j.,

casualties OF the late war. Under i,
section 4,7O9 Of the Revised Statutes
OF the United States now provides tina,
"all pensions which have been or NAV

We retract the prediction W made
in the Home journal some time since
that Hayes would be removed from
the Office he occupies, but to which the
people elected Samuel j. Tildcn. The
Investigating Committee appointed by
Congress has brought more promi-
nently to light than was anticipated the
frauds hy which Louisiana and Florida
we're counted for Hayes, and the fact
that Hayes was cognizant of tho bar
gain made by Sherman, and the fur
thcr fact that Hayes has rewarded with
Office all the conspirators, But Con-
grcss having voted for a resolution de-
cIaring that the title Of Hayes should
not and cannot be disturbed, VIC there
fore conclude that fraud is triumphant,
and that through tho cowardicc Of
Democratic members Of Congress.
The Republicans tried to imreach An
drew Johnson because he stood by
the Constitution and did his duty. But
the Democrats will not try to impeach
Hayes for violating the Constitution
and being the receiver Of stolen goods
knowingly and c%orruptly, and for
which, if justice could DO done, he
would be in the penitentiary, When
policy goes to this extent it is infa-
nous, and it will recoil upon the Dem
ocratic party. But history will give
Hayes his proper place. We read
that the portraits of all 'hc doges Of
Venice save n AFRO hung in the halls
Of the Grand Council. A blank space,
covered with "A pail, tells where the
portrait Of Marine Falicro would have
hung had he not been bchcaded for
conspiring against his country. And
VIC think a similar record should be
mado against X. b, Hayes for conspir.
ing to defroud the people out of their
choice for President.

Some curious statements and cal
culations lately appeared in the
London Times correspondence as to
the popular notion of high numbers
such as millions, billions and tril-
lions. Mr.. Bessemer said that he
did not think any clear conception
of "a billion could be formed. 9th
er correspondents gave the following
facts: A single thickness of sover-
eigns spread over the floor OF a
room II feet inches square is one
million. If, instead of being neatly
laid in rows. the sovereigns are put
as close as possible, million will
Just cover the floor of room 81 feet
6 inches square. Mr.. N. Hawkins
johnson writes: "The difficulty of
comprehending the idea of a billion
is scarcely so great as Mr.. Besse-
mer would have us suppose. A
shot one-tenth of an inch in diam
eter is an idea readily grasped. 1t
would take exactly one million Of
such shot to make ball ten inches
in diameter, and a billion of such
shot would make a globe SO feet 4
inches in diameter, which, although
it may be called large, is not beyond
ordinary comprehension" Mr..
Lockwood writes: I'm addition to
Mr.. Bessemer's dissection of bill
