The assertion that any man who
dares to run independently against the
regular nominees Of the Democratic
party, is ian enemy to his race" and
should be treated accordingly, 10 agaiO
made by the Bourbon rule or ruin press
OF Mississippi. That Independent eau
didates will, however, run against go
called regular nominees regardless OF
the threats Of the self-apPOinted spokes-
men of the machine politicians, 10
quite certain. That these Independ-
ents, Il they are worthy, ought TO be
elected, there can be nc question. Ma
chine politicians will not always be
permitted 10 triumph over honesty,
virtue and patriotism. - Jackson

The old Radical fag.ends In this
State have been 80 badly beaten hat
they are at last only able TO cry Out
against the party that redeemed the
State. They pretend to do this because
the Democratic party Is powerful, we'll
organized and disciplined. There
would seem to be room TO doubt the
sincerity of these professions when we
remember how Ardently these same
fag.ends aud journals used to sustain
the Republican party, when 1t was Ia
power. The cry, therefore, Of the
Times against machine politicians, is 4
cry not really against a discipline

against the organic zion that stampe'

FROM WASHINGTON.

Representative Mackey, Of Pcnnsyl.
vania, made a report 10 the House IN
| reference TO the delay in the Pension
Bureau in deciding on applications foT
pensions, Of which much complaint has
been made. 1t appears from the report
that the number Of applications for PEN
sions received since the close Of the war
is 337, 1886, and the number Of cases on
hand unanswered and undecided on the
first Of February, 1878, was lS7G7. This
large number of cases in arrears is the
| result of the reduction of the clerical
force in the Surgeon Generals office,
and the committee recommend the en-
poyment Of forty additional clerks in
that office for one year. The number Of
cases received during the year ending
June 80, 1876, was 2j,4O6, and for the
year ending June 80, 1877, was 20,42s.
This large number of applications for
pensions, more than ten years after the
close of the war, is, Mr.. Mackey says,
one Of the indications Of the increasing
poverty among the people.
Senator Wallace's long-bond bill for
the investment of savings was passed in
the Senate after long running discuss
sion, withouta division. Messrs. Wallace
Blaine, Cockrell, Salisbury, Eaton,
Bayard and others made short speeches.
Mr.. Blaine's amendment, making the
interest four per cent. instead of three
and dSiEty-fve-one-hundredths per cent.
per annum, was agreed to. The bonds
are to be or the denominations of S25,
$50 and 500, redeemable in coin fifty
years from the date of issue, and are 10
be registered in the name of the purch-
aser. The interest at the rate Of four per
cent. is to be paid in legal-tender notes
or coin, at the option of the govern
ment.
Mr.. Wallace's bill meets with favor all
over the country, and it will no doubt
pass the house also and become law.

The rush to Kansas this spring will be

previous came some thirty people, and
these were transferred 10 the East Line
on its arrival there. The emIgran,s are
all bound for Kansas.
Twenty-seven car loads Of passengers
arrived in Topeka, Kansas, on Thursday
on the Santa Fe railroad, mostly for set,

Prof. Ed. Wolf, d. D., Of the Theol
Seminary, Gettysburg, on account Of
PROSTATE health, finds himself obliged
to relinquish his post and save what is
left Of wrecked constitution, and seek
relief in throwing off all the strain OF
mental labor to which he has been sub
jected for some years, and which Is the
cause Of ruined sight and bad health.
He has been urged to take a six months
trip to Europe, and the members of his
former charge in Baltimore, TO whom he
has ever been dear, have generously Of
fered to bear the expense Of such trip.
DR.. Wolf has devoted his whole life to
the Lutheran church, and is now physi-
cally broken down, as a result Of that
devotion, and il is but simple justice that
such men of the church receive the fit
ting recognition offered by his old
friends in Baltimore, who urge him to
this step and hack it up with their
brotherly offer. We understand
the doctor has given way to the appeals
Of his friends and former parishioners,
and will start for Europe early in April.
