The MENicAN VOLUNTEERS IN THE SEsATE.-
The New England Senator'S on Saturday showed
that the hatred of thir section to the Mexican
war was not oply hereditary, bat personal MS.
regards the heroes In that valiant struggle
General Shields introduced and carried an
amendment providing for pensions to the Mexi-
can volunteers to the bill making an appropria-
ton for accomplishing the ects Of the Arrears
Of pensions act. This amendment was recon.
sidersd, when Senator Hoar, in the true temper

it Of defiance to national measures, which so
nearly broke out into open rebellion in lS16,

tae volunteers in the war with Mexico Of the
pensions falling to them. 1t should seem as if
those old warriors, who fought their wny so
brilliantly against such heavy odds from the
Rio Grande to Bucna Vista and from Vera Cruz
to the City of Mexico, were entitled to at least
rs much recognizancc in our pension ills as
any other soldiers of the republic. But it hap
pens that some Of these veterans besides Mr.
Davis are Southcrncrs, and such representatives
of the hostile section as Mr.. Hoar are so avcrse
even to patriotic association with Southerners
that they cannot be just, much less generous
Surprising that, according to the full scope of
the New England theory ON the subject, Mr..
Davis and the other Southern veterans became
.'trators'' in 1e6i--that cannot wipe out the
fact that they were brave soldiers of the repub-
lie in 1S46-47. a veteran of the revolution
was once asked by British statesman what The

hang the rest of him high as Haman." Mr..
IIoar md Mr.. Edmuuds do not seem capable of
exercising any such generous discrimination as
this, If indeed they do not in their secret hearts
look upon the Mexican war as being as "trea,
sOnable" as the war between the States. At

the Jefferson Davis amendment was mere de-
vice and subterfugc, contrived for the purpose
of dcrriving the veterans of the Mexican war Of

March lathe M. Rev. bishop Gilmour has
issued n pastoral letter to the clergy of this Do-
cese, which condemns the Irish WOgM, published

Catholic principles. 1t condemns labor societies
for their secrecy, and forbids Catholic parents,

their children to tn. public schools, where Cath

gives the "Hibernians" severe reprimand for
not allowing the priests to act as their spiritual
advisers. The Bishop urges upon Catholics the
necessity of subscribing to the Diocesan CdtAo-

peats his order to young Catholics not to marry

tanttras during the late term of court, we find we
have oyer-croppcd ourself this week-the farm
compelled to leave undonc many things that we
ought to have done. AS usual number of ad.

to close up the paper and they had to be inserted
at any risk-they "pay the printer and our
own thoughts had to give way. We have not
room TO even mention that handsome hat pre-
sented to us from the large and elegant stock Of
new and extremely cheap goods just received by

tion to their large advertisement SO conspicu-
ously arranged in our columns. AS the pro-
cecdings of Court are concluded we will do
better hereafter.

For the Times
Mn. EDITon: The Town Council af,er their
election to office commenced to discharge their
duties in o business-like manner, by calling for
estimates for all public work to be done. It,
however, u o disappointment to the friends of
the present board to see them dsviating from
this path In tie judgment Of the Council they
ordered two fire wells to be dug at o most inop-
perfume time-the work having to be left in an
incomplete state during the severe freezes-the
result Is, the town has to be put to the addition
al expense of remodeling them, at q cost that
is alone known to the Council (or the most of
them) and the contractor, for no bids have been
called for. Now in the opinion Of many, this
is not just. No objection is made to the Con-
tractor employed by Council, provided those
outside lad been given equal showing. He
himself does not hesitate to bring workmen fro m
Spartanburg whenever he thinks he can get it
done cheaper, although there are those in our
community who are equally competent to do all
work and on the same terms. Their, if lie, as q
private individual, would not hesitate to call for
bids outside. surely the Council, as the Guardian
of the public funds, ought Mt least to enquire
what similar work costs elsewhere.

edition of the Times ran short at least thirty

they ran short. The result was one or two

A MAssAcREE WHICH DID NOT CONE Orr.-It
may fairly be said-although tho assertion So
yors of bull-that the most memorable in the
long list Of Burmese massacres is one which
was not PerPctrated. When The English squad
ron appeared off Rangoon at the opening Of the
last war with Durmah, the native Governor Of
the city sent messenger to announce that every
European within the walls should be put to death
the moment the first shot was fired. This mem
ACC having no effect, or so of foreign res.
idents, including two American missionaries,
were ordered out for immdiate execution. The
word was given, and the headsman hnd lust
stepped forward with his hugo knife when the
FIRST English broadside was discharged, shatter-
ing to- pieces, by singular chance, the very
house in front of which the Governor and his
suite were standing. Never was q panic more
instantaneous. Away ran Governor, officers,
hendsmau and oil, while the victims, bound and
unable to stir. remained kneeling in readiness
for the fatal stroke, with no one left to attend
to them. They were speedily released by a par
ty of British iue,jackets, and. to complete this
sudden turning of the tables. the iuhuman Gov.
ernor was brought in by q sailor that very eve
ming, with his bands tied behind him and gag
in his mouth.
