The ENORMOUS Pension Roll.

There will be q deficiency in
the pension bureau this
year Of $2O,00O,O0O The regu
lar annual pension amounts to
$3O,0O0,OO0, and in addition $40,-
100000 is required to pay claims
under the arrcarages Of pensions
bill. IL is claimed that for PEN
sions alone congress will this
year appropriate $70,O00,0G0, and
next year $l00,000,00 and SO on
till all the arrearages are paid.
On the roll last year 250,802 pen

of annual pensions from $l6,l42,-

The road to a fortune in the pen

as profits are TO a proprietor Of a
brace faro bank. We do not wish
to be understood as opposed to
pensioning being extended to
any man disabled in defending
his country. Men thus crippled
are entitled to all they can get,

who never incurred any greater
risk than is incurred by the dri-

clerk Of u hospital steward, and
who have no scars, and never had
any pain worse than the tooth
ache, is contrary to the pension
laws, weak as they are. The
granting Of pensions to such
leeches is encouraging laziness
and ultimate pauperism, and Of
iering a reward for perjnry..:y

Our FInancIai Condition.

Comparing the condition OF the
Treasury September Goth; 1851,
with its condition on the same
day last year the most striking
changes are the increase in gold
coin and bullion and standard sill
yer dollars on hand, and in silver
certificates outstanding. More
than 100000 in gold has been
deposited with the assistant treas.
urer in New York for the pur-
chase of exchange on the West
and South, payable in silver GER
tifcates during the last fifteen
months. The gross amount OF
gold coin and bullion held by
the Treasury in 1851, was $26S,
100000. The increase within the
last year has been $55,5OO,00o, OF
which amount over $39,000,00O
was in gold.

Hayes ON Arthur

Newark, (O.) Pen.-Ex-President
Hayes was IN the city last Tuesday af-
ternoon, on his way to Fremont. As
soon as he disembarked from the Co.
lumbus train a Pen reporter rushed up
in front Of him and made himself
known. The General has a remarkable
memory in regard to faces, and, setting
down his valise on the platfol m, reach
ed out his hand 10 the humble scribe,
saying: III I'm not mistaken, you arc

home in Fremont last May" After a
few general remarks on the weather.

bird released from the cage after a term
of capacity. He said that he was now
ut liberty to say and act as any other
American c%itizcn, without being criti-
.cised Oh every hand, as is always the
case with the President. Sand he:
, ''My term as President is II very

ANGRY ARTHUR.
The President Pressing the
PFOsecntinn OF GuIfenu.


The Star publishes a statement
that a Cabinet meeting was held
at the Presidents parlor, directly
after his return from Yorktown,
at which all members of the Cab
met were present. That the Pres
ident said he called them togeth-
er TO consider the question Of the
prosecution OF Guiteau. That
from facts which came to his
knowledge, he believed the gov
eminent was entirely unprepared
for the case. That he would con
slider it pre-eminently disgraceful
to the government if, in Guiteau's
case, as in the Star Route cases,
the government should confess
itself unprepared to go on, and be
compelled to ask a continuance.
The President put the question
to McVeagh directly as to the
preparation Of the government to
proceed with the Guiteau case.
The Acknowledgement replied
hat he did not consider it any
part OF his business to give atten-
ton to criminal prosecutions.
The President replied that this
was a great State trial, and that
the whole country looked to him
(McVeagh) to see that it was con-
Quoted properly and efficiently.
Acknowledgement McVeagh
said there was no law or custom
for the Acknowledgement to ap-
pear in the criminal trials, and
said he had been told so by Judge
Jeremiah Black.
The President then quickly and
somewhat angrily asked McVeagh
how it had been in the Aaron
Burr trial.
"Oh; but that was a trial for
treason" McVeagh replied.
"Yes," said the President, "and
this is a trial for numbering the
Chief Magistrate Of the Nation,
and to my mind it is a positive
duty o. the Acknowledgement to
take charge Of the case.
Mr.. McVeagh then reiterated
that the law never contemplated
that as any part of his duty.
The President replied that the
statutes Of the United States au-
thorized the Acknowledgement to
appear for the government at any
time in any case IN which he
might deem it his duty to do so
and he referred McYeagh to the
particular section Of the law.

Vhe President and ConkIing.

Last week in an interview be-
tween Conkling and the Presi-
dent, the latter insisted on the
necessity Of the party's success
in the State this year, and said
that any negligence on the part
Of any leaders he was determined
to have remembered in a proper
and effective way. 1t Is said that
Coukling protested against the
Presidents policy in many ways
without any effect. Gen. Arthur
plainly told him that the Repub-
lican party was too grand an or
ganization for personal uses, and
said, THE party which elected
the President could not be used
to work out the reyenges OF Sena-
tOrs.n

GOING WEST!

In making arrangements TO move from
your old to your new home, it would be well
to consider what has been done to render
such a journey not only cheap, but as pleas
ant and free from accident and danger as
human foresight and skill can make it. BY
construction, equipment, ard good manage
ment, the Nashville, Chattanooga & St.
LQ0i3 Railway merits your full confidence,
having the very best rock ballast, stccl-rail,
fsh-bar joint, iron bridges, and most thor
oughly constructed roadway, with air-brake,
and other appliances to secure safety, speed,
comfort, and sure connections. With its SUI
perior through coaches and sleeping cars, il
has great advantages over other lines, and is
enabled to offer the lowest rates which can
be had, A few things of interest and i'm
portance we mention for your information,
The question Of baggage has always been
troublesome to passengers. The rule Of this
line is to check free for each person twelve
years old and over one hundred and fifty
pounds of baggage, consisting of wearing
apparel and bedding, securely packed in
trunks or medium size boxes well strapped,
and seventy-iive pounds each for children
between five and twelve years old. Baggage
should be plainly marked with the name Of
the owner and the place to which he goes.
Tickets should be purchased from or through
reliable parties, and YOU should see that they
are by the route andito the place you want to
so before paying for them. Remember that
passengers have the right to select their
route, and it is the duty Of Ticket Agents to
accommodate passengers with tickets by the
route they wish to take, when it is possible
for them to do SO.
You can secure the cheapest rates to Ar
kansas, Texas, and the great Northwest by
