"A PLAN has been suggested of

Of Pensions Dudley has announced

TO borrow a pension fund sufficient
TO meet all pension payments, should
the last payment not fall due until
the youngest pensioner is 100 years
old, which will probably be about
1887. 1t is growing pretty evident
from the tone Of the most stalwart
Northern papers, that the country is
i'll disposed to the continuance of so
heavy . burden as the present pen
sion appropriation is, and that some
relief will be sought. The New York
World suggests this capitalization
OF the pensions, as it will throw
some OF this burden on our success.

Last trip of the John D.. Scully,
while she was lying at the wharf ia.
king on cotton seed, a party Of gen.
'tlemen, consisting of officers and
passengers, went ashore and sat
down on the New Wharf, now being
built by Mr.. Sullivan. They amused
themselves by telling some miracu.
Ious stories. Among the party was
ote Insurance man from Boston,
who by the way tells a story we'll.
While getting off one of bis side.
splitting "yarns" he suddenly dis.
covered he vas alone talking to the
wind. The gentleman to whom he
was telling his yarn, however tip.
toed away leaving him alone; when
he discovered the trick played on
him he jumped up and caught the
"little" mar OF the party, and took
bis revenge out on him. There was
q big laugh at Grey's expense; be
would tell nc more funny stories Oh
the trip down. It was highly en-.
|joyed by those who witnessed it,
and the party voted that the wharf
be named in honor Of the Insurance
man and called Grey's wharf.

ga HIGHER Law THAN THE con-
STITUTION."

This was the political dogma,
preached sfrom the pulpit and from
the stump, upon which the Republi-
can party came into power, and
which has introduced %demoraliza-
tion and degradation into the politi-
cal affairs Of the country. Public
officers are required to take an OFF,
cial oath to support the Constitution
of the United States. But the oath
was made a farce and a false pretense
by the dogma that declared a higher
law than the Constitution. Upon
this political fallacy the Constita
tion and the laws we're disregarded,
and the most sacred compact and
pledges of the public faith man ever
made to his fellow.men were set at
defiance. And as a natural sequence
from this doctrine it is now proclaim.
ed from the head of that party, that
anything is justifiable in morals and
in law that will beat down the Dem.
ocratic party and keep the Republi
a party in power" Upon this doc
trine the returns in the Presidential
election of 1876 we're changed by
Republican leaders, and a President
installed into office who had been de.
feated at the polls.

Will You please inform US thro'
the columns of your most valuable
paper, if poverty is disgracsful and
il sickness is a crime. II the man
who through the Providence Of God
has become destitute and unable to
do for his family, has thereby rem.
dered himself and wife ct subjects
for the insults of those who are bet.
ter favored by fortune. You ask
why this query. 1t is this: For the
past IL or Is days a gentleman liv-
ing not many miles from Alexandria,
has been sick; his is a disease that
is long suffering and slow to end,
(Censumption.) His wife and son,
who have been quite sick and is not
yet streng, went out to try and get
something to relieve their wants,
which were quite pressing. A list
was given them and they undertook
to collect a little something to assist
them. What Was the result: One
gentleman subscribed 81 a. encour-
age,nent to others, but only gave so
cents. One more referred her back
to the person writing the subscrip.
ton, with the request that he should
put down as much As be pleased but
charge it to himself. In several in
stances the lady was insulted by
parties whom she called on. The
result of the lady's efforts was IS
cents. So much for the benevelence
of the good citizens Of Alexandria.
Has God forsaken the poor? Is pow
erty a crime? READER.
