The Workings Of the New Pension
U.ANN.

The crude and ill-consfdered pension law ap-
proved on the 25th of January was finally
licked into more reasonable shape by amend
ments to the appropriation bill. The law, as it
now stands includes In its provisions the SOL
dierS who continued in service after the Surren-
der OF Lee-includes, in short, the same as the
law has ever done, all service after the 4th OF
March. 1861. The act of January 25th confined
itself to those who served during the rebel
lion" Instead of allowing one man several
times as much as another man for precisely the
same disability. the final amendments made an
honest attempt TO equalne the arrears. Ii the
pension was curtailed under the old limitation.
the arrears are not now necessarily allowed
from the date Of discharge, but from the date
of development OF the pensionablc disability.
Instead of being fixed for the whole back period
at the rate at which the pension was originally
allowed the rate Is now to be graduated ac-
cording to the degree OF the penslonable dis
ability from time to time. III the pension
able disability occurred in the services
the arrears date from the soldiers discharge.
IL the pensionable disability arose after dis
charge-although, of course, the cause of it
must have come from the service-then the ar
rears date from the appearance or development
OF the pensionable disability. Pensions allowed
by special acts, which always date from the
approval Of said acts, unless they themselves
specify another date, are not affected by the
new law. The increase Of 81 a month to wild
0ws on account of children, and TO children
themselves, viii not be affected by this law
Such increase, as heretofore, viii not begin
prior TO July 25th, 1856. The arrears are paya-
bic from any money In the Treasury not other
wise appropriated. How much of this there
wiz be, remains to be seen. But 1t is not pro6a-
bic, whatever this amount may be, that there
win be any trouble or delay in paying such ar
rears as have accrued In claims lot yet once
adjudicated-in claims where no pension has
yet been allowed. These will probably be
passed along and paid as fast as allowed, as
usual

How the Game is Worked.

81 Z 5t
The 81 900 bond with which A. @. Cowell, al
stated in yesterday GLOBE, was swindled out
of $3.50 is . neat affair. There are too many
fools in the world, who can't be helped, but to
save even one or two, the following description
Of the bogus bond is given To all appear
ances the bond is . fair, but imperfect, coun-
terteit Of the United States bond. It is green
back continuance of course, and purports
to be gold bearing bond. Agreeny, as green
les have been, would be apt to be deceived by
it, as at the head it has United States in
large letters, underneath which is the coat of
arms OF the nation-the saving clause to the
paper being counterfeit on tho words, ''Sil-
yer Mining Company, of Denver, Colorado"
IN very small letters near the claws of the
eagle. To casual reader, the bond would
read, 'the United States acknowledges, etc. :;
when in fact the United States silver mining
company Of Denver, Colorado, acknowledges,
etc" with promise to pay. redeem, etc. The
silver mining company is as bogus as the bond.
Altogether the device is cheap one, and tho
wonder is that fools can be found to bite.

HARRISBURG, July 23.-The Republican State
convention met this morning in the House of
Representatives and was called to order by
Mr.. Gray, chairman of the State convention.
There was a full attendance. Lewis W. Hall
was elected permanent chairman and he adj
dressed the convention. He arraigned the
Democratic party for their course in Congress
since coming into power; he praised the mi
nority and thanked President Hayes for his at
titude during the extra session.
RIOT BILL RUCTIoN.
A resolution was adopted ordering the re-
ference of all resolutions without debate to the
committee on platform. Mr.. Wolfe then asked
to have read the resolution declaring that in
view of the developments of COR
rupt practices in connection with
the riot bill in the last House, emphatically
retired to that part of the Republican plat
form of 1875 6 which demands honest men in
Office, men with brains enough to know dis
honesty when they see it and courage enough
to fight it wherever they find it. The chair de-
clared Mr.. Wolfe out Of order and refused to
entertain his appeal. MIR. Wolfe insisted he
had right to demand the reading of the reso-
luton and Senator Cooper of Delaware and
Representative Barrett of Lackawanna took
the same view. There was considerable COM
motion, but on motion Of Mr.. Cooper the reso-
luton was received. Mr.. Mapes of Venango
then offered a resolution which he insisted
should be read but was ruled out of order and
disorder was prevented by Mr.. Gray moving
that the committee on resolutions be made.
Galushia A. Graw was made permanent
chairman.
Mr.. d. G. Butler was nominated for State
treasurer.
Butler accepted the nomination in brief
speech. He referred to the course of the
Southern representatives in Congress, in view
of which fact he said the mission of tie Repub-
licsn party was not ended.
