MINISTER WELSH writes to the Sec
retary Of State that his salary does moi
pay his expenses. He gets $1,000 a
year and some advantages that are valua
BILE to men in such stations. Jane.
Buchanan, who was far abler and
greater man, received $4,000 year as
Minis er to London, in 1858, and after
remaining abroad about three years, wrote
to his friends that he would resign. He
did not write to the Secretary of State
that he wanted higher pay. He did re-
sign, and was elected President of the
United States two years afterward. Min
lister Welsh knew what the salary was
before he took the Office, and he knew
also that there were hundred o. mort
men who would have taken the Office al
the same salary and who were letter
qualified than he was for the positlon.-
His duty, then, was clear-that was to
resign and get out of the way, if he was
not satisfied, aud not to whine at the gov.
ernment of his country because it did
not see proper to keep man In London
to parade himself and family before the
British aristocracy and exhibit fine
clothing at social gatherings, instead o.
brains, when in contact with the shrewd
ness of British statesmen. Mr.. Buchanan
was the plainest man in appearance a
Nictoria's court, but that did not prevent
the Queen from doing hun the honol
which great ability is sure to draw upon
an American anywhere in Europe. Mr.
Welsh will look in vain for any such ex-
hibtion OF favor as was bestowed upoI
the distinguishing traits of buchanan.

THE prNstoN ARREARS.

The House of Representatives performed
a most praiseworthy service in passing un-
der suspension of the rules bill appro-
priating some $27,OOO,OOO to pay the arrears
of pensions so justly due the brave soldiers
who were disabled battling for the life of
the nation. This act construos the law so
that the pensions are equalized, and 50 that
one soldier will get no more tnan another
for the same disability. This reduces the
amount at least S1O,OOOOOO from the origi-
nal estimate made by the Commissioner of
Pensions, which was Si1 100000. 1t is
thought this appropriation will pay all
claims now due, and all that may arise
before the 1st day of July, 1880. In
fact all claims will he filed before that
date, and no other appropriation will be re-
quired.
Now let the Senate take up this bill and
pass it at once, and end the suspense of the
soldier. Let the appropriation be made,
and then discuss the ways and means for
obtaining the funds. Show the soldier that
his claims are as much respected as those
of the bond-holder. Show the people that
it is just as easy to get the money to re-
ward the heroes of the war, whose wounds
were received in saving the Union, as it is
to redeem the coupons of the bond-holder.
1t is n Republican measure, and Rcpubli-
can Senate should pass it without hesi-

DRs. rALMAGE AND sCHENCK.

From the following, which we quote from
the Brooklyn Union, and which is an extract
from lecture of the Rev. NOAH II. SCuENCK
in that city entitled "What We Put Up
with" it would seem that Dr. TALMAGE
must look out for his laurels, or they will be
appropriated by DR.. SCHENCK:
The fashionable world and the fashion of
fashionable mothers in not wanting too many
children in this populous world, but, said he,
Having children is one of the direct results
of nature. 1t is one of the things which we
must put up with, and which we want to put
up with. 1t is one of the inovitables. Let
them come with emphasisl yes, let them
| come" The lecturer believed that If it was
| the fashion for woman to have her left foot
| tied to her right ear she would manage to do
| it, or have IL done. Some fashionable women
We're not of as much value as the clothing they
wore. The cost Of get-up for widow 's
| cruise in society was more expensive than the
lltting-out of n man-oi-war for three years
cruise In foreign waters. And the worst of ii
was that women liked to put up with it.
The outfit of man-oi-war for three years
is from 100000 to S5OOOOO. Rather ex-
travagant in statement for q reverend doc
tor, who knows all about fashions and fash
ionable life and fashions extravaganza. BE
We moderate i'll statement!

National Theatre-"The Danites." {"


THE Danites," the attraction of the present week
at the National IS admirably presented in every
spect Each of the characters has been allotted to
an artist worthy of the name and dignity. The
scenic features Of the play subjects of general
commendation, aud the entire performance has
been appropriately likened TO an ingenious speci.
men of mechanism artfully constructed and SYM
metrcal in all its proportions. The drama itself
deserves permanent place among the most highly
appreciated efforts Of the purely American school,
and the personnel of the company presenting 1t Is of
like distinguished character.
Mr.. Rankns strikingly handsome presence and
the heroic cast of his features and figure amply fit
him for the mpcrsonaton of the chivalrous and
tendcrheared Ilonmdcr HcGec, and Miss Kitty
blanchard Us NtHCy Williams, the pclscculCd hero
inc inducs her rOiC with winning grace and the
excellence OF Hn ACCOMPLISHED aitiste. Mr.. Louis
Aldrich Is well remembered by the patrons of the
National us the "ldudng man" Of that theatre
n few seasons ago. His Charles GOdfrcy
is rendered with characteristic strength
and efficiency. Mr.. Parsloes reputation
as the most successful impersonator of
the "heathen Chinese is worldwide, and his
lTdsice lVdsbee Is most entertaining feature OF the
performance. Mr. Mestlyr as JudJe lIWidni
lTsc, the "ransplated Nank" among the Serras, Is
a reminding echo from his "own native hills" and
the remaining rO'cs all intrusted TO most capa-
BILE hands. THE Danites' Will be given again this

THE House Committee on Banking and
Currency at the last session was instructed
to examine thoroughly into the manage
ment of the Bureau of Engraving and Print
ing. 1t performed its service and made the
following report
The committee deem it only proper to re-
port to the House that from personal and care
fM Investigation, and from other information,
salutary reforms have been inaugurated, and
that under its present careful and efficient
management the public may rest in the belief
that no extravaganza will be permitted; that
no erroneous or fraudulent issues need be
feared, and that safety aud economy are as
surcd.
1t will be recOllected that while the po-
litcal colleagues of GLOVER composed the

fair and just report in the case. 1t is inn

THE Philadelphia Times thinks that Sem
ator CHANDLER's speeches do not have the
old ring about them. II says that "for-
"merly he was accustomed to seize the
British lion by the tail, swing the wretched
"beast a few times above his head, and
" then challenge the admiration Of the world
"by dashing out the lions brains against
"something or another" 1t adds that
Mr.. CHANDLER sis neglecting the British
{" lion in an unaccountable way now" That
may be true; for Senator CHANDLER gem
orally attends to one thing at time, and
that very thoroughly, BY giving little
candid attention to this subject the Times
can easily account for this neglect of the
lion. lie has turned his attention to an
other branch of zoology. He has the DEM
ocratc party by the tail-the mephHis amer
icana of politics--and it requires courage
and dexterity to handle and swing it with
safety to himself. When this job is well
over the lion may again share in his atten-
tions.

HEALTH AND HOW TO PROMOTE IT


To the Editor Of He National ReDuJlicdn
SIR; Under the above caption Noticed an article
in this mornings REPUBLICAN,, The writer signing
himself Third Cavalry Division" calls Major
Marcus A. Reno, of the Fifth United States Cavalry
a coward. l, over my own proper signature say he
was not a coward. During the late war my regi-
ment, First United States Cavalry, was commanded
by Colonel George A. II. Blake, Lieutenant-Colonel
William n. Grler, Captain Milton 7. Carr, Captain
Nelson b. Swctzer, Captain Richard sc. Lord and
Captain Marcus A. RenO-partlcularly the latter.
1t was engaged in almost every battle in which the
Army orthe Potomac was engaged from the An.
tetam campaign TO the battles around Richmond
and Petersburg ana II was "in at the death" at APP
pomattoX Courthouse in 1863. My estimate Of
Reno aud Custer is this: The former was brave,
but not rash, and Custer was both. Through RASH
ness Custer and the Third Cavalry Division" rot
surrounded at Trevillian Station in 1861 and It was
brave, but not n rash man who cut him out. l
mean Wesley Merritt, who commanded the First
Cavalry Division, of which Marcus Reno's regl-
mcnt-the First CavNlry--iOrmed apart.
II was Clusters rashness that got him INTO the
scrape at the Little Big Horn in 1876, aud It would
require larger force than Reno had at his COM
mand to cut him out Reno did not desert Custer,
but Custer deserted Reno. If Custer had waited
for the junction of the three columns under Gen
erals Crook, Terry, and Gibbon Il think Gibbon is
the name) the massacre would never have taken
place but his rashness and his ambition TO whp
5000 Indians with 300 men frustrated the plans O
the Generals in command allowed the Indians to
escape and lost to the Government the services OF
| 300 brave men. Boosters are not brave, generally
speaking; but beg to be excused from the charge
| of egotsm when ! say tnat was in eighteen gen
ernl engagements forty or fifty skirmishes and two
raids, and lost leg at last ! speak for the honol
of my regiment: Can Third Cavalry Division

EX-CoNGREssMAN Z. w. M. MACKEY, of
Charleston s. c., seems to be made of mate
rial which does not readily succumb to the
wiles and intrigues of the unscrupulous and

weeks since the Democratic leaders at
Charleston succeeded in securing the indict-
ment of Mr.. MACKEY on the charge of libel
and on Friday last he entered the Superior
Court room in that city and demanded to
be put upon trial. Knowing that MAcKEY
possessed indubitable evidence to establish
the fact that thousands of kiss-jole tickets
were crammed into the ballot boxes in the
recent election by the Democratic gentry OF
Charleston, the solicitor feared to go to trial
and moved for continuance. The Nous

quest to the court for an immediate trial

Mr.. WILLIAM III. HOFFMAN writes q let
ter to the public on the subject of the meet
ing of those interested in property within

new Post-Ofiice building in the vicinity of
Seventh street, in which everybody else is
treated with contempt as ringsters and hits
from the shoulder in the following stalwart
manner:
l submit that the three tailors of Tooley
street, Lon Ion. who resolved that the world
belonged to the saints, and that they were the
saints must have direct descendants in the
orginators and abettors of this meeting. Now,
the fact is that / 200 Of the business men and
property holders, representing a vast amount of
property, have pctitioned that this Office be
| located not east of Tenth street. and between
Seventh and Fifteenth streets west, all we'll
known people, from every walk of
| life. | favor the corner of Twelfth
street and Pennsylvania avenue, hav-
ing prepared the plans for the proposed
change, believing that it will make a model
Office, and answer all purposes for years to
come. The owner, Mr.. JEssUP, is n man of
large means, perfectly satisfied with his invest
ment, and cares but little whether the United
States purchase it or not. There is nojob OF
any kind, nor will he pay cent to any one to
advocate or influence it. The building stands
on its merits, is offered at its cost price to build
aud is 70 per cent. cheaper at that than any
other ire-proof building, public or private, in
these United States.

Mr.. Editor that the people may understand
and appreciate this stupid, malicious cry OF

illustration OF its truth than here in this Ma
