THE bona fde pensioners of the country

from enacting such laws rs will protect the
Government from fraud, but would heart
lily indorse such legislation. They do claim,
however, that the presentation of fraudulent
claims or their allowance by the Govern
ment or its agents is no argument why their
just claims should be ignored The blatant
denunciation of the arrears of pension law

others, backed by the money power, is
made to defeat the appropriation necessary to
the carrying out Of said law, Hence their cry

we go behind this cry we will find that the
true reason for their antagonism to the

money from the Treasury that the little

which, of course, according to their own
statements, are free from even the suspicion
of fraud, will be less likely to receive favor

safer will be the general interests Of the
country. The Nationals are more largely
from the North, and hence have little or no
affinity with the Confederate element
which controls the Democratic party. Their
natural political sympathies are with the
Republican party, which is really Green
back party, and hence coalition between
the Nationals and Republicans would in-
volve far less concession of principle than
an attempt to consummate one between the
Conledcrates and the Nationals. AT all
events, without an early and absolute sur
render on the part of the Nationals to the
Democrats, the latter are long way off
from an enjoyment Of the House patronage

ONLY few days now intervene before
the close Of the session, and one of the most
important bills introduced at this session
remains in the House not yet acted upon.
Senate bill "a, relating to the transportation
Of animals, is in the interest Of humanity
and will tend 10 prevent the meat from
becoming poisonous from great cruelty.
Drs. HAMMOND, NARICK, CRAREss, and
many other distinguished physicians and
sanitarians say that cruelty upon animals in
transit avenges itself upon the consumer,
and give as their opinion that such meat
is the cause of many diseases, especially
among children. Congress is the only
power that can remedy this evil, and the
neglect of Congress sooner to make rem

THE Democrats are coming expressions
and attributing them to Senator CARPEN-
TER, and then gloating over their own inn
agery. The Lynchburg TLrinida gives ut
terance to the following:
The Hon. MATT CARPENTER announces that
when he returns to the Senate he will not train
with the CHANDLER LOGAN crowd 'if they
are what they were in old times" but will be
an independent Republican. II doesn't mat
ter much who CARPENTER trains with. since
he will be In wOeful minority whether he
sorts with the independent or stalwart Repub-
licans. But it is simple justice TO say Of the
Wisconsin Senator that ho never was as radical
MS CHANDLER and that set, and showed mod
Grafton when the mania of radicalism prevailed
in the Senate.
Senator CARPENTER was elected Senator
by the stalwart Republican element of Wis
consin, and is in strict sympathy with his
constituents politically. lie knows the
Democratic party, abominates its principles
and policies in government, is alive to the
dangers that now menace the nation
through Democratic recrcancy to the public
veal, and will keep step to Republican
music as it comes 10 him through the notes
and harmonies of Republican faith, princi-
pies, and policies and those who fancy that
they can divert him from that line by COIN
ing expressions for him, are only deluding
themselves.

THOSE who have no invitations to the
Presidents reception this evening, and who
have no familiarity with the White House,
except, perhaps, with the kitchen servants,

business, and those who feel chagrin that
they have not been invited should pocket
the neglect with better grace. If they are
