"The DQu" at Rochester.

ROCHESTER, July S, lS79.-The Fourth has
come and gone, and it seems no trace has been
left of its coming. Perhaps from the fact that
Roches Ter did not CELEBRATE according to the
old fashioned custom, but on the contrary,
every thing was informal in the city. The
average Rochesterian, however, did not pro-
pose to put up with the informality, hence
quite number at an early hour betook them
selves to the neighboring towns, there to see
the elephant''--we have yet to hear of a COM
munity Boosting the name of place, within a
radius of fifty miles, that did not celebrate
others joined excursion parties, while still
Others stayed at home. Private picnics were
assembled at an early hour in the grove west
of the city, where was enjoyed speaking, eat
ing, foot, sack and wheelbarrow racing to the
complete satisfaction Of all, until quite late.
The Germans also had picnic in John Brick
ley's grove, just out of the city, where we hear
all came away happy. Music and bower dane
ing were prominent part in the programme.
In the evening the Catholic Literary society in
Henry's Opera house, home company, put on
the boards the we'll known Irish piece Colleen
Bawn," each taking their part we'll, this being
no new business to the company. Among other
attractions, balloon was sent up, in the even
ing. Last but not least, and it is too bad to
record it, quite number were seen celebrat-
ing with big load of ''bug juice" sboard, but
such things are to be, it seems. On the whole
the day passed off very quietly; no disturbance
and no accident yet reported. The day was
quite warm. Fortunately the late storm did
not visit us, but there twas music in the air.

EVARTS,
What He Thinks OF the Political Situation
WASHINGTON Special.l

What He Thinks OF the Political Situation.
Washington Specially
Secretary Evarts has left the city to spend
a week on his Vermont farm. In converse
ton before leaving he expressed himself
very freely on the results of the session and
about the political situation. He thinks the
people will have little difficulty in their YER
dict this fall upon the Democratic policy in
Congress, if the issue is plainly understood.
The Democratic doctrine, he saws.
is revolutionary, and cannot
be tolerated. The majority of no party will
be permitted to refuse all appropriations
aud to dictate legislation. The grievances
which the Democrats have proposed to
abate by resolution are the laws of the
United States which they are unable to re-.
peal. Thurman's parallel with British his
tory was fallacious. The grievances sought
to be redressed were not those of law, but
OF the arbitrary action of the king.
Singularly enough, Mr.. Evarts
still adheres to the enthusiastic notion
About the South which he entertained
when he entered the cabinet. He thought
then that the Southern policy was TO divide
and conquer the South; that the old Bourbon
element was to be disorganized, and that
new views and new issues were to found q
new party in the South which, under some
name, would harmonize with the principles
of the Republican party North. He still is
hopeful, and thinks that the Republicans
ought to carry three or four Southern States.
He does not say which ones. Mr.. Evarts
seems to have no better basis for his belief
than his own hopeful theories.

THE PENSION BUREAU

Complaints froan the Soldiers Homes.
Serious charges are made from various
sources that gross negligence, irregularity
and incompetency prevail in the pension bu-
reau in the matter of the payment of pen
sions to inmates of homes for disabled SOL
diers and to other persons entitled by law to
pensions. congressman desks are covered
with letters from claimants who say that their
applications have been unjustly rejected
or entirely ignored by the department.. An
effort was made amid the confusion of the
last day of the session in the House to pass
resolution providing for junketing COM
mittee to visit the various soldiers homes and
take testimony on this subject, but the
resolution was objected to, and was there
fore not adopted. Commissioner Bentley
said that he did not know of any specific
charge against the bureau here. He
knows that some trouble exists between
officers of the soldiers homes and inmates
in regard to the payment of pensions, but
so far as the Washington Office is concerned
he denies that any irregularity exists. The
difficulty is with the officers of the homes
and there is where the investigating must be
done, if at all. That there is something
wrong there he admits. but refuses to
disclose what it is. AS to the diff
culties with other pensioners he denies the
charge that there is any neglect on the part
OF the Office and declares that every claimant
receives proper attention whenever his turn
comes. There is naturally some complaints
in the adjustment of arrearages, but he says
he confines himself to the law and canno,
heed them.
