THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE.

THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE.
TAKING DAY OF REsT-TuE SITUATION IN SOUTH
CAROLINA.
The Republican National Headquarters, and also
the rooms of the State Committee, were closed yes
terday but at each place the secretary and clerk
attended to make such replies to communications IN
the davis mails as were imperatvely necessary.
Colonel Hooker the assistant secretary of the Ma
tional Committee, found in his mail bag long let
ter from a Republican of South Carolina, which had
been addressed to a New. York general. The writer
first asks that his may moi be mentioned. as 1T
would interfere with his business, and then proceeds
to give his views of the present aspect of politics In
the South.
His long residence in the South. he says, has
taught him what Northern men fail to understand,
namely. that the is not ended. Every effort OF
the South since the war has been TO obtain control
of the country The Southerners believe Northern
maenaDimity to ward them was dictated by fear,
aud they are now as hostile IN 1861, and far
more thoroughly organized and determined to
upset Northern rule. The North placed a dangerous
weapon in their hands when it gave to the negroes
freedom without protection. The Demo-
Gratis have always o controlled %ne the c0oTe 0GS1

THE PENSION BUREAU.
GREAT NATIONAL INTEREST.

ADDRESS BY COMMISSIONER BENTLEY BEFORE FX-
SOLDIERS OF NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. OF TIE
INTERESTS INvOLvED-DEFECrs IN THE PRES
ENT SYSTEM AND THR PROPOSED REMEDY.
Commissioner Bentley recently delivered
an address before veterans of the late
war in Pttsburg upon the operations of the
Pension Bureau. The amount of money re-
quIred to pay the annual pensions, when the
Just claims are adjusted, would pay the in
interest Mt per cent on seventeen hundred
and eight millions of dollars. Thus the PEN
sion interest is second only to the Ma
tiOnal debt in importance and involves the
welfare of a larger number OF persons.
The present pension system, he said, is ut
terly inadequate, and is an outrage on meri-
toriOus claimants. A larger clerical force nn
der it would provide only temporary relief.
The remedy for existing defects is provided
for in bill now before the Senate.

Bro. Mcdowell, of the Southern Home Is
a good deal of a wag. He tells of the Die
tator as follows:
No enthusiasm was manifested on the ar
rival, put much curiosity, was shown to see
really whether he looked like a God or
whether, after all, he was made out of COM
mon man material. In stature, he is nearly
six feet. His eye is clear and discerning and
his face indicates him a man of 6rmness
and determination, while his features, stamp
him as a high liver, and a very consistent
drinker.
Once he came out on the front platform,
and as nobody said anything, or seemed to
know him, he went back. One %of6cious in
claiming his loyalty and wishing an introduce
ton to the Presidential party. No one here,
however, seemed to know him. A young
gentleman of this city, a Davidson College
student, on being introduced to a Miss
Felt, a young maiden of Is ummers of
Galena, Illinois, insisted on her stopping
over aud promised to take her riding and
give her a dance if she would consent.
She replied that would be impossible, but
asked her Charlotte beau to accompany the
party promising the expense would be moth

he would not see his father and mother in

Grant to the crowd, but the QUIZ of CONVEX

noise, that he could not be heard. The audi
tors stood around, stared, opened their
mouths and spake not a word, and Grant
looked about him curiously.
After this, scattering voices yelled ''Grant,
Grant and then again all was silent, and
a number Of boys climbed upon the engine
in about six feet of him and looked at him
like they regarded him as a whale, and one
from the platform below, called to his com

DIAL has been developed by the action of the
Rev. Mr.. Bowen, pastor Of the Presbyte-
rian church in this city, who, on Sunday
last, denounced from his pulpit not only
ex-senator Aydelotte, who IS one Of the
elders of the church, but the whole COM
munity, and wound up his philllppic by re-
signing his passionate. Mr.. Bowen came to
the church from the West, and he took oc-
casion to say, in the course Of his remarks,
that he had supposed that he was comingto
a moral community. but he had found it
exactly the reverse, SO that, when in Phila
delphia recently, he was ashamed to w
that he had a charge here. The church,
which was before greatly divided upon the
subject of the Polk-Aydelotte scandal, is
now in greater contention than ever.
