The Pension Ri,I.

The pension bill which has passed
hoth Houses of Congress, and which
now only requires the signature of the
President to make il q law, reads as

An act 10 provide that all pensions
on account of death or wounds receiv-
ed or disease contracted in the service
OF the United States during the war of
the rebellion, which have been granted

COLEiSAIN.

We are highly pleased to learn that there
IS prospect of an early resumption OF work
on our end of the W. & I. Y. Railroad. We
interviewed Mr.. Rhodes last week, and pro-
posed renting the road bed for agricultural
purposes. lie assured US that lie had just
been at Cleveland, and arrangements were
about completed for the sale of $780, 600 of
their bonds. The President of the road also
instructed him to say to the stockholders not
to sacrifice their stock, for it would be on aD
equality with the bonds.
There is a brother of s. b. Richards living
in the family of B. Sidwell. He attends
school at Pleasant Grove. There is nothing
remarkable in his appearance The teacher
informs US that he is attentive to his studies,
and progresses in learning He is about Ia
years Old-he was at the Postoffice on Friday
when the sad news came of his brothers trial
and sentence.
On last Saturday, as we ascended the hill
| from Hendersod's Mill, we were passed by
4. Henderson, jr, and Wm. Mallory. They
had white horse attached to a new cutter.
Just after they passed US one OF their hold
back straps broke; Henderson made leap tC
catch the horse, tripped himself on the blank
ct, and fell in very ungracetul manner by
| the roadside; Malony stuck to the craft, port
!
corner of a fence. We returned to the wreck,
found Henderson holding the morse; his face
was about the same color as the horse; Malo
ny was pressing one hand on the waist of his
pants; limping on one leg, while he gathered
up the fragments of the wreck. He had re
ceived a very severe kick on the thigh and
one on the waist of his pants. We never saw
craft so badly wrecked in so short a time.
Coley Clark. our venerable old colored citi-
zen is dead-he was about so years old. Ii
remarked few days ago that he was never in
suited. His rule was to treat all men in
gentle, manly manner, and he had always
received the same treatment.
\ very large audience gave attention Oh
/ Sunday, to the Rev. Lyon, who is preaching
for the Rev. Day, at Pennington.
There was twelve added to the society a

Two Of our well-raised and highly respect
ed young men visited Bridgeport during las
week They took something to drink tina

for the law of the land. On their way hom
they whipped through both gates on the B

again Constable and Justice will show then
where the laugh comes in.
The past week was an uniucky one to tn
Rev Day. On Sunday night his horse brok
through the ice on McMahon's Creek, ant
hurt his back so that he was laid up until Sat
urday. He then tried to get to Pennington
and while getting water for his horse in Harris
vile, it took fright, ran away and broke hi
sleigh to splinters.

Notes and Comments.

The Chicago Times remarks; 1.-THE
Indians Are being rapidly transferred
to their reservation. Their reservation
is several ieet under ground.
Samuel Tilden, having made most
lamentable failure in the cipher busi'
pess, is now advertising "Tilden's In
sect. .Exterminator' extensively.
An observing correspondent remarks
that the meeting of Thurman and
Hendricks in the Senate Chamber the
other day was not marked by an effu'
sion of cordiality on either side. Why
should it be? Hendricks nursed the
ra baby on the sly for years, and as
soon as the infant became large enough
to be help to him, Thurman snatched
it.
The Cincinnati Commercial, which
opposed Senator Blaine as presiden'
tial candidate in 1876, is now supporting
him nobiy on the plea OF anything to
beat Grant" .
When an inhationist can't think of
anything else TO say, he remarks that
in resumption the sacrifice was alto
gether too great for the benefits receiv'
ed. But when pinned down as to the
sacrifice in question, he can only reply
in glittering generalities.
Even the Vicksburg (Miss.) Herald
| feels compelled to make some remarks
upon Louisiana bull-dUzing. 1t says:
1--WE should have been fejOiced if Gov.
Nichols had taken this spirit of bull
doing that he says exists in some
parts of Louisiana by the throat and
chnked the life out OF it, even it need
ed the free use of hemp to do it. He,
his courts, and his legislature must do
this, or confess that the Republicans
are fully excused for interfering to pro-
tect voters in their rights"
The New York World is trying to
make great sensation about an al
legged Republican quarrel over the ''pa'
ternity of resumption" That there
should be some personal NESTS in re-
gard to what particular person has
done the most to secure this great
blessing is not strange, but the World
cannot evade the main point at issue
that to the Republican party alone be-
longs the credit that resumption Is an
accomplished fact.

A WASHINGTON SPECIAL says that
there is an active attempt on foot by
the Democrats to create an impression
among soldiers that the bill providing
for the payment of arrears was Dem
ocratic measure. So far from this be
ing true the Pension Committee op
posed it at every stage, and on its fl.
nal passage every vote against it-six-
ty one in number-came from the
Democratic side. The bill was report
ed April 1st, 1873, under suspension OF
the rules, by representative Sam pson,
of Iowa. 1t was stoutly opposed from
the Democratic side, notably by the
chairman of the Pension Committee,
Rice, who even undertook to have h
little filibustering to defeat it. While
the vote was proceeding Rice went
over to Sampson, and charged him
with playing the demagOgne, since the
Pension Committee had a bill on the
subject pending. This bill, however.
was one in which it was sought to use
the Republican report for paying ar
rears of pensions to carry through the
Democratic plan of restoring all pen
sioners who went into the rebellion to
the rolls. which proposition Rice's pro-
posed bill contained. When it next
came up Rice tried to obstruct its pas
sage on the ground that it had not
been considered by the Pension Com
mittee. II passed the House, howev-
er, by 164 to 61, the latter all Demo
