The Committee on Pensions of the House of Rep
resentatives.

Justice demands that we should not let this oc-
caslon pass without rendering due credit to this
laborious committee, for the amount and character
OF the business done by them in this Congress-
There were referred to them an immense number
of bills for special acts Each one of these called
Tor the production of papers and examination of
evidence
Under the guidance of the enlightened gentleman
who presided over the committee this mass of work
was distributed, and each member appears 10 have
done his whole duty.
We tender the thanks of THE National TRI-
BUNE to the chairman and all of the members of this
hard-working committee, and as we cannot single
out any particular one for special mention we print
for the information of our readers the following
names of the well-deserving gentlemen who com
posed this committee: Messrs Rice of Ohio (chair

In the nature of things, the Senate Committee on
Pensions has far less work TO do than the House
Comparatively few pension bills originate in the

Lincoln's Answer.

This anecdote of President Lincoln was recently told nv
bishop Simpson, although it may have been put in print
long ago: /" was informed day that a committee
from New York; composed of leading citizens, went to
see him in reference to the conduct of the war After
they had transacted their general business and the com
mittee were making their way the door-he was stand
ing in the other part Of the the gentlemen
who presumed, on his acquaintance with Mr. lincoln to
ask particularly searching questions stepped up to him.
and IN the lowest tone of voice said Mr. President
would like TO know where Burnsdes fleet is going
Burnside had just sailed with the fleet but the destination
was unknown. WE'LL said Mr. Lincoln in a very low
tone OF voice, would you very much like know? Yes
he said he would. well, now said Mr. Lincoln sif
should tell you perhaps you would tell some one else'
NO, said he 4 will not Then Mr.. Lincoln putting up
his hand TO his face and If to whisper said loud enough

The day, however, when New York
City, or the World for it, can dictate
to the democracy, if that time ever
existed, is past. Its selfishness has
already defeated itself; its press can
cease from bull-dozing. If ever it
could have controlled the electoral
vote of the State of New York, it is
not probable that the republican leg
islature, which the domestic uuarrels
of the New York City democracy as
sisted to place in power, will suffer
itself to be speedily displaced. Most
probably that body will see to it that
New York casts a stalwart presiden-
tial vote in the next electoral college,
and then when the republican party
regains it's ascendency in the national
congress, the views of New York CITY
may be enforced.
The World can no longer dictate :;
but what we wish it to understand is,
that if it could. submission 10 its do
mands would be more intolerable
than the loss OF the presidency.

THE TENDER SPOT.

The tender spot in the hide of the
Audrain County Press is rant Of pat
rOnaye. To think-even to be re-
minded-of it makes those connected
with that paper howl. We commend
to their perusal the following extract
from an editorial in it's columns under
head of "Journalism:"
CDR. Franklin said q want of de-
cency is o want of sense; and while
people may laugh at the blackguard-
ism of a writer, they inherently and
from every consideration of self-re-
spect hate and detest the b~lackguard
himself. To be a gentleman
and, at the same time to be an editor,
is by no means incompatible"
Want of appreciation is hard to
bear, and yet inability to please the
public is no Excuse for-anything in
consistent with g~entlemanly instincts.
To be personal is simply to be weak.

Kind Words.

We have received a copy of the
Mexico LEDGER, published at Next
co, Mo-, by r. M. White. We are
pleased to see it's familiar face once
more, and to place it upon our ex-
change list. The LEDGER is the first
paper which we had the honor of
editing, and the first paper estab-
lished in Mexico. 1t made its appear
ance in 1854, and the second year
after its inauguration we assumed its
editorial control, and continued in
that relation until 1864. Itgives us,
therefore, unusual pleasure to once
more peruse its pages. 1t is, at
present, under the management of
Mr.. White, one of the sprightliest
papers published in Missouri.-[Dr.

THE OUTLOOK.
The New York world" Blocks
The Way.

Extremely conflicting political views
are being constantly ventilated by
democratic organs, although, notwith-
standing the large popular majority
that attaches usually to that organiza-
ton, parties are too nearly balanced
in congress to admit of any but the
most conservative measures. While
this state of things lasts, nothing can
be more foolish than disputes among
democrats in regard to policies i'm
possible of attainment, and certain
nevertheless, If pressed, to disrupt
what ought to be more closely &C.
mented. Even if it should prove ul-
timately to be true, as has been al
vanced, that the currency of the ma
ton cannot remain half greenback
and half black back, but must neces
sarily finally become wholly either
a government or bank issue, it would
be imprudent to hurry up at present
the increase or diminution of either,
since the effort to do so through the
excitement it would occasion might
arrest prosperity and precipltate an
other financial crisis. Why, then,
cannot editors and politicians accept
the financial situation, and pass on to
more important and more pressing
t1pics :?

FINANCIAL.

If it be allowable to speculate upon
the complexion Of the next congress,
and the insuficiency of Its dominat-
ing majority, apart from republican
assistance, to pass over a presidential
veto either q silver bill or a measure
affecting the condition of the national
bank circulation, there seems to be
little probability that any new inan-
cial legislation will be seriously pro-
posed at Washington this winter be-
yond a possible effort to provide for
the free coinage of silver. The War
ner silver bill, rushed through the
House so hastily at the extra session,
has not proven t. be entirely accepta-
BILE, and since then the change that
has taken place in the value of silver
has removed the necessity, If it really
existed at any time, for some of its
provisions. The increasing prosper
Gus condition OF he country has also
greatly lessened anxiety for large coin
additions to the currency. The gen.
eral drift Of public sentiment respect
ing all forms of and substitutes for

backs, or certificates, or treasury
notes, or black blacks, as shown by
this falls elections is, 'Letwell enough
alone" People appear to be salts
fed with the present financial condi-
ton Of the country, and are likely to
continue in that frame of mind until
some unlocked for event shall occur
to arrest the progress in the right
direction that has been so happily in
augurated.
