THE Republican, upon great occasions,
comes out in double-sheet. On such oc-
casions our esteemed contemporary becomes
not only the most readable in its intel
lectual quality, but the handsomest, typo
graphically, of all the newspapers in the
United States. We wish every day in the
year might be considered great occasion
by the managers of the Republican. AS we
understand it, single copies in wrappers
ready for mailing can be had at the bust
ness office. The Republican is an excellent
paper to send away. But it is still more
excellent to keep at home.

"THE interesting assassins of Europe
says the Boston Post, "whom Mr.. Wendell
Phillips champions so vigorously and clio.
quently, have intimated that their peculiar
methods would not be necessary in coun-
try as free as the United States, but the
Revolution sociale, a Parisian print, which
planned the other day of the hypocritical
lamentations over the death of the Presi
dent, and added that for its part, the only
ground for regret was that the Vice-Presi'
dent had not succumbed to the same com.
plaint.'"
We should like to inquire whether the
Rerolution sociale is among Mr.. Phillips ex.
changes.

Mr.. ScnURz, who once served his coun.
try in the Interior Department, assures us
in his valuable paper, "That there were
millions paid for pensions fraudulcntly
obtained has not only been admitted for
many years past, but those in charge of the
pension service lost no opportunity to in
form members of Congress of their expert
enccs and opinions on that subject Time
and again, during the last four years, Com.
missioner Bentley, supported by the Sec
retary of the Interior, pointed out to Con-
gress the fatal defect in the law, and
urgently recommended the substitution for
the ex-partc system of substantiating pen
sion claims, one permitting thorough
inquiry by the Government and the cross
examination of claimants and witnesses.
But instead of acting upon these recon-
mendations, Congress passed the act grant
ing to pensioners arrears of pensions cover
ing the time from the date of their applica-
tion back to the period Of the war. Not
only did this act take uncounted millions
out of the Treasury, but by offering n
greater prize and multiplied opportunities
to rascality, it increased the abuses spring
ing from the defective laws hundred
fold"
That's all well and good enough in its
way, but perhaps Mr.. Bentley, assisted by
his illustrious monitor Of the late Interior
Department, can make it clear why they
distinguished against Democratic claims
and in favor of Republican claims. Per-
haps it was done to reduce the great drain
on the Treasury, but the impression seems
to be quite general that Democratic leg
ought to command the same figure as u
Republican leg, If lost under the same flag
How would it do to circulate the notion
that this is pretty good country to fight
for on general principles and without q
pension in view.

THE Presiding Officer of the Senate has
one solitary atom Of patronage in his gift.
1t is the appointment of keeper of the
Senate restaurant. Mr.. Bayard had just
time to climb into the chair and then he
had to climb out again. But, agile as his
motions necessarily were, he seems to have
found time to dispense his crumb of patron
age. A crumb of patronage stands small
chance Of escaping Democrat.

ACCORDING TO THE ATLANTA Constitu-
tion, "there are moments when Senator
Edmunds believes in the equality of tho
States. This is as 1t should be. 1t is about
time for the representatives of New England
to catch on to the Massachusetts idea"
That's all very well but wouldn't 1t be
just as well to add that statesman who
holds an equality with the New York dele
gates, on the strength of representing few
sheep ranches and the battlefield of Ben
nington, should at times recall his personal
obligations to the doctrine of State equality?

great propriety, that the citizens of Charles

should visit the st. Mary's church-yard
and pay tributes of respect to the family
of dc Grasse, some of whose children are
buried there. Certainly the services of de
Grasse, in 1881, should be conspicuously
recognized, for, without his operations
against the British fleet, CORVALLIS would
have been strongly re-enforced, and there
might have been different sequel to the
American march on Yorktown. The Count
de Grasse will be represented at the Centen-
nial in the person of his granddaughter, the
Count de Grasse, who is second lieutenant

THE GARRISON of Fort Sherman seems to
have made sortie yesterday. We under
stand that great damage was inflicted upon
the incomplete works of the besiegers, some
of which remained in the possession of the
besieged at the close of the action. Fort
Sherman may ultimately be taken. But
the daring and successful sortie of yesterday
ought to convince the besiegers that the
siege will be long and difficult, and that
anything like direct assault is out of the
question. The works will have to be badly
preached by the heavy artillery before the
light infantry can do anything.

We publish, in to-days paper, the
notice of the Clerk of the Court,
calling for an election for municipal
officers of the town of Covington,
on Monday, the 9th of June.
Nominations are now in order. The
gentlemen who have filled the
offices of Mayor and Aldermen
during the past year have perform
ed their duties faithfully, and Coun-
Gil has met regularly once a month
for the consideration of the bust
ness of the corporation. A large
amount of work has been done on
the streets, and the credit of the
town has been maintained at par.
During the present administration
the revenue from all sources has
been S475 80, and the expenditures
S437 SO, leaving balance in the
treasury of S3S 81. The service has
been performed gratuitously, and
the Mayor and Aldermen deserve at
least the thanks of the community.
We do not know whether the pres
ent officers are candidates for re-
election or not, and in the absence
of such information, we will simply
say that our citizens might look
elsewhere and fare much worse.
We hope that at least some of them
will consent to retain their honor
able positions for another year.

A MOTHERS LOVE.
BY MRS. L. ERARY SADLER.

A mothers love, the poet saith,
Can never measured be,
By length, or breadth, or heighth or
depth,
Or sands beneath the sea.
And yet, the prophet saith, she may
Forget the child she bore;
That God will not forget, but love,
His children ever more.
As heaven is high above the earth.
So Is Gods love to all the race.
But of all lesser loves we know,
The next to Gods is mothers place.
Through infancy and chiidhocd's days,
Through all the years the same.
She loves and prays, "God bless my
child"

DEATH OF Mr.. Amos S. COLLINS.

DEATH OF Mr.. Amos S. COLLINS. -
A telegram was received OF the
Louisville and Nasllaille railroad
Office this moraing announcing the
death at Cincinnati of Amos S. Col
lirs, of CarrolHon. Mr.. Collins has
been suffering for some time with
bronchitis, and had been strongly
advised by his physician to change
his residence. He left the city Mon
day in ODE dience to this advice, and
got as far as Cincinnati, where n
sudden paroxysm of the disease ter
minated his life.-Daily States,
Nay Is.
Mr.. Collins was we'll known to
many of our readers, having spent
the summer in Covington last year,
with his family. He was man of
more than ordinary intelligence,
and made large number of friends
by his genial social qualities and
frankness of manner. During a re-
cent visit to Covington, although in
feeble health, he appeared hopeful
of receiving much benefit from his
conteTp plated trip to the West, ana
his sudden death was painful sur
prise to his many friends here. We
sincerely sympathize with his sor-
rowing family in their bereavement.
