BACK TENSION BONANZA,

There is great pressure brought upon
the President to veto the pension bill Just
passed. The more the subject is inyesti.
gated by Treasury officials the, great.
er is the amount which they allege
will be taken by this bill. Many ex-
soldier Government clerks here have gg.
ured up the matter as applicable to them,
and find that they will get from 81 500 to
s. 900 each under this BILL Some of1hem
are frank enough to say that while they
will take the money; they regard it raid
on the Treasury Of dangerous dimensions.
1t is known that most of the Cabinet
officers will advise the President to veto
the bill. Latest estimates place the amount
that will be taken from the Treasury at
from forty to sixty millions. The affair is
spoken OF as race between the parties as
to which shall vote away the largest sums,
and thus attempt to procure the support OF
the soldier element.

SUBSTITUTE FOR EDMUNDs' RESOLUTION,
The Democratic Senators in caucus to-
day agreed upon substitute for Edmunds'
resolution, declaring that the 18th, 18th
and 10Th amendments are equally valid
with the other amendments to the consti.
tuition. The substitute, while recognizing
the binding force OF the amendments
named regards Senator. Edmunds resolu-
ton as proposing Legislative action in
conflict with the decisions Of the Supreme
Court, particularly in the Cruikshank case,
holding that the Constitution does not
confer the right to vote on any one, but
simply confers the privilege OF freedom
from any discrimination on account OF
race, color or previous condition and
that the regulation OF suffrage belongs ex-
cluslyely to the several States.

A TOWN TREAsURER's ACCOUNTS.

About three weeks ago Charles wurtz, Sr.. Town
Treasurer OF Union Hill, N. j., suddenly disap-
peared. He had lived in the town . score of years
and had always borne excellent reputation. He
was first heard from in Rochester, where his
brother resides and it said that he had gone
there to borrow a large sum of money. As he was
considered in easy circumstances and need of
funds of the members OF the Town Council
instituted an inquiry. He learned that wurtz had
loaned large sums of money to number of his
friends, and was unable lately to pay demands
made by his creditors. Tie investigation
was carried further. and 1t was found that
the largo balance that it was claimed ought to
have been in the treasurers hands not there.

depository. These facts were brought to the atten-
ton OF the council and special committee ap-
pointed to examine the missing officers accounts.

to have found the deficiency to be IS 900. resolu-
ton was adopted that Mr.. wurtz must make good
the amount by Wednesday evening next. when the
council holds q special meeting. else legal pro-
ceedngs will be instituted for the recovery of the
sum. 1t is rumored that the treasurer. who bears

STRIKES IN THE IRON AND GLASS WORKS AT
PITTsBURG, PA.
TBY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD
PITrsDURa. Pa, Sept. IA, 1879.
In consequence Of the boom in iron the past week
has been very prolific of strikes among the day
hands in several mills in this vicinity. There have
been no less than four in tho American Iron Works,
which employ 5000 men alone but all have been Of
short duration. The demand of the men employed
in the polishing shop was conceded yesterday after
noon, the men having quit work at noon. The Ia
borers it is said. have got advance Of twenty five
cents per day and the balance of the advance
of fifteen cents. This strike the fourth during
the past week. and it is now thought that work will
go on smoothly, as nearly all the men i'll the mill.
save those working by the piece, have had their
wages increased. Everything is quiet in the other
mills tonight; STILL general feeling OF uneasiness
prevails, and other strikes are looked for daily.
There is general strike among the men in window
glass manufacturing. ana it looks though the
strike might extend among the laborers in the other
branches of the glass trade.

LONDON, Sept. 10, 1879.
A despatch to the Standard from Ali-Kheyl
gives the following account of the massacre of
the British Legation at abul:-"Four thousand
men attacked the Rcsidcncy, in which the
British Embassy was quartered. The mr-
tineers brought up artillery against it..
Major Cavagnari was stabbed in several places
and all the bodies of the dead were mutilated.
The Afghan loss exceeded three hundred. The
Ameer had other troops, who remained faithful
but made no efforts to interfere, owing to in
timidation by the priests A telegram from
Lahore reports that the Amccr begged for the
lives Of tho members of the Embassy.
CLEARING TIE PASSES.
A despatch from Sina says that Nnwab
Gholam Hussein, the native envoy OF the Indian
government to Cabul who was en- route for
Cabul at the time of the massacre, has returned
to Shutar- Gardan Pass. General Roberts hopes
TO arrange with the heads of tribes for the safety
Of the roads through Shutar-Gardan Pass Ad-
vices from several points, the most important
being the Khurum and Khybcr passes, represent
that the tribes show signs of hostility. The
Khan of Khelat has placed the resources of his
country at the disposal of the British. A de-
spa,ch from Simla states that, although the
Afghan mutineers have declared their desire to
fight, they are wholly unorganized and without
leaders. But the correspondent of the Daily
Ners ut Lahore reports that the mutineers are
advancing on Jellalabad and Cabul, and that
the Mohmunds are threatening General Roberts
ut Ali-Kheyl, who has telegraphed for four more
regiments.
The Standard is informed that tho Indian
government has not yet asked for reinforce.
ments, but the term of service of troops i'm
India whose time has expired will probably be
extended.

the health Of the troops at Khurnm
