THE PRESIDENTS ILLNESS.
Why. the Government Should Not
Pay the Doctors Bills.
WashinQton Post. 5tk.

A prominent Missouri Senator said yes
terday In reference to the passage by Con.
gress of a bill to pay the expenses of the
illness Of President Garfield, growing out OF
the assassination; 81 regard such a measure
as a dangerous assumption of power. II
would be a precedent that would very likely
cause US much trouble. Our form of gov
ernment does not recognize favored class
In the eyes of the law the President of the
United States is no better than any other
citizen. Strictly speaking, he is like every
other public officer, a servant of the people,
and he has no more right to have his ex-
penses and his docoOr's bills paid out of the
national Treasury than I have, or a Post
master that serves his country at fifteen dol
lars per annum. The President receives a
salary of fifty thousand dollars a wear, be.
sides large appropriation for the contin-
gent expenses OF the White House, a large
portion of which, understand, is used for
the subsistence of himself and family, !
regard the proposed measure, and there are
other Senators who concur with me In this
view, as an improper use of the public fund.
The salary of the President was increased
in order that he could better meet any ex-
traOrdinarV expenses"
Upon being asked If the case OF the late
President was not an exceptional one, the
Senator said that he acknowledged that it
was, but called attention to the recent state
ment OF Cyrus W. Field that $361, ,891 70
had been collected for Mrs. Garfield, $3l1,-
600 OF which had been invested in United
states bonds, yielding an income CT $12 440
per annum. The Senator predicted that
there would be opposition to the bill. and
that it would not eome solely from the
Democratic ranks. He thought, however,
that It would pass, but not until several
Senators and Representatives had placed
themselves on record before its passage as
against making 4 precedent.

Arrearages of Pensions.
Nel0 Orleans Flcavl.ne.


1t seems to be generally thought that the
passage of the bill for the payment of ar
rearages of pensions was a fearful mistake
The estimate of $3.50, 900 600, as the amount
which it will ultimately take out of the
Treasury. is probably not exaggerated. The
rate at which the law is increasing the ex-
penditures is rapid. The payments were
during the fiscal year, ended June 30, 1876
$2S, PSI, 1876 SO; 1877, S27. 1858 752 81; 1878,
$27, 1903 08; 1870, $35, ,121, 4S2 80: 1880,
$50, "a, ia A; 1881, $50 059 279 62: 1885
(estimated), $40, 900 600; 1883 iestimated1 !,
SlO0, 0,OOO,O 600. There Is cettainly no
obligation resting on the natioo to divide
out $3.50, 600, 900 among those who have ap-
piled to be placed on the pension rolls, and
1t would seem to be quite sufficient to paw
pensions from date of application in cases
where the applicant is successful. The law
was, no doubt, gigantic Job, engineered
by, or in the interest Of, pension lawyers or
solicitors. 1t ought to be repealed imme-
diately.
Realizing the magnitude Of the evil in
ficted needlessly by the law, Congressman
Goldsmith w. Hewitt, Of Alabama, has in
troduced bill which is designed to mitigate
its severity, end which he thinks will save
$500, ,OOO, 600 to the Treasury. His bill pro-
poses to pay from death in case of death,
from development of disability in case of
wounds, aud from date of application in
case Of disease contracted in the service. Ii
furthermore provides that no arrearages
shall be paid at higher rate than the origi-
nal certificate, and that no arrears shall be
paid either to widow who has remarked or
to child who has attained the age of six
teen at the time OF the passage of this bill.
General Hewitt says that this bill is sub
stantiallY the same as one which mad been
agreed upon bY himself, General Rice, of
Ohio, and Mr.. Snnockson, of New JERSEY.
who had been charged by the House Com
mittee on Invalid Pensions with the duty of
preparing bill for the just payment of ar
rearages Of pensions, But at night ses
sion toward the close of the first session of
the Forty fifth Congress, the present law
was passed under suspension OF the rules
(gag rule) by more than a two-thirds vote.
Those who voted against it, we may remark,
were moral heroes and deserve great praise.

An Evangelist who Is Creating Much
Excitement In the World.

Rev. George 0. Barnes, the mountain
evangelist Of Kentucky, modern Lorenzo
DOW, has been creating a sensation In Louis.
Vile during the past week by his service al
the Chestnut Street Baptist Church. He is
firm believer in what is termed 'tfaith
cure, )" and at the conclusion of his services
he calls up the afflicted, anoints them,
praYs for their recovery, and assures them
all will be well. II they have faith. Mr.
| Barnes claims that God win never
damn, but 1t is the devil who does.
and makes sickness and disease. God
heals every day. We see In the news
papers the lie "thst it has pleased God to
remove from US our brother" God didn't
remove him. 1t pleased the devil to remove.
The Lord gave and the Lord has taken
away The lie was started by old Job when
he was IN deep sffliction. There is not q
bit OF truth in It, The Lord giveth, but the
devil taketh away. God has constituted us.
he continued, that though the devil NAV
lay grief on US It soon wears out and time
heals. The weeping widow will console
herseli IN year and half by marrying
another man. Watch and pray. This
choice injunction used to trouble me a great
deal l couldn't understand it. / would
pray TO the Lord and watch the devil: then
to the Lord and watch the world and flesh,
and then the devil would slip up behind
and catch me, but, thank God, l
am over that difficulty now. l pray
to the Lord and watch too, and
he protects me. He will not let me
suffer as long as look to Him. Mr. Barnes
caused the people to look around at each
other In amagement when he beheaded the
devil. Take away the first letter." he said,
''and you have evil; the second, and you
have vii; the third, and you have Il; the
fourth, and you have word that sounds
like hell itself. So you see, my friends, the
devil is mean all the way through, and
don't intend to have anything more to do
with him." at the conclusion of each
hours service he invited baekshders and
sinners to come forward and have their eouls
cared for, after which he extends an invita-
tion to the afflicted in the body TO come and
be healed. II none come forward he does
not insist, but says they with do SO before he
Is done here. He does not seem in the least
discouraged at the apparent slow progress
fof good, but feels he has done his best and
leaves the rest with God.

KILLED BY HIS NEPHEW.
FATAL QUARREL OVER A CHECK.
Bloody Tragedy In Tennessee-An
Ex-COnvIct Shot Through the
Heart-An Old Crime Recalled.

CHATTANOOGA, January 7.-Thomas Boyd
was killed last night at sweetwater, Tenn,
20 miles above this city, by his nephew, Joe
Boyd, of Atlanta, on account of a lawsuit
between the deceased and brother-in-law
of Murray. Boyd was notorious few years
since by his enormous swindling scheme on
the government by filing bogus claims, and
served term in the uenitentiary and was
fined several thousand dollars.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn, January To-day
at IL O'Clock at Sweetwater, forty-two miles
below here, Thomas G. Boyd, Mayor OF the
town, was shot and killed by his nephew,
Joseph L. Boyd, in the house of Mrs. Alvin
Boyd. The latter was attending to the
business of Thomas Boyd, his uncle, and
brother of Thomas, who dropped dead in
SWeetwater ten days ago. Thomas G..
Boyd held the check of Alvin
Boyd, which had been refused at bank. Joe
Boyd asked Tom to give a receipt for the
check, which he refused to do. Joe insisted,
when Tom said excitedly, "DO you insinu-
ate that l will defraud my own brother?'
AS he spoke he rose from his chair, and Joe
Boyd, while still sitting, shot Tom through
the heart. The latter was not arrested. Joe
gave himself up tothe authorities.
About nine years ago Thomas G. Boyd
was Pension Agent, and was Indicted for
bringing fraudulent claims against the
government. He escaped to Canada, but
was captured. brought back and
sentenced to the State penitentiary for
five years. Since serving out his time he
has been a good citizen. He recently, in a
lawsuit, regained large amount bf proper
ty from the estate of Winfield Boyd to
whom it had been transferred by the for
mer to save it from a government execution
nine years ago. The result OF the suit in
censed Joseph Boyd, and is supposed to be
the cause of the tragedy.

THAT CONFEDERATE SPECIE.
A Letter from General Johnston
He Denies Accusing Jefferson
Davis OF ApprOpriating COnfede-
rate Funds.

WASHINGTON, January THE Post will
publish tomorrow morning the following
important letter from General Joseph E.
Johnston;
"TO the Editors Of the Post:
sIRs-When the article headed General
Johnston's Narrative" appeared in the
Philadelphia Press OF December 18th l wrote
to the editor that the conversation on which
the narrative was evidently founded was not
an interview and the article was so mac
curate that would not undertake to correct
it. This was published by him promptly.
As that article seems to be treated in the
South as accurate, and l am charged with
having accused Mr.. Davis Of apprOpriating
Confederate funds carried through North
Carolina, l write to deny the charges. /
did not use the language imputed to me.
What did say was that the President ought
to have accounted for that money. 1t is a
well known practice in this and all other
civilized countries that those having
the disposal of public funds
should account for them. What
said on that occasion was in an accidental
conversation with one whom considered
much above the class of interviewers.
Therefore, had no fear of publication OF
what | might say, and said good deal that
nothing would induce me to say for publ
cation, and especially on the subject OF the
funds at Greensboro. That part Of the con-
versation was in connection with the subject
Of an application twice made by me that part
OF that money should be paid to the army
| then commanded In North Carolina which
had received no real pay for many months.

A MINING HORROR.


MAUcH CHUNK, Pa, January IA ter
rife fre-damp explosion occurred this after
noon in mine No. 10 of the Lehigh Coal and
Navigation Company, at Lausford. Thos.
Parry, of Georgetown, the fire boss, is miss
ing, and is believed to be dead.
Eight men and one boy were
badly injured. Among the latter are
: Edward Gateles, from Georgetown :;
three men named respectively Reym-
back, Burns and Kline, and fifty
others from Tampaqua, whose names are
unknown. One of them had his back bro
ken and others have legs and arms broken
and are badly burned and crushed. The
explosion was caused by fall of coal
breaking the safety lamp in the hands Of
fire-boss Parry. Luckily, the fire did not
spread, and the damage to the mine is con-
sequently light.
Later reports from the scene OF the COL
liery explosion say that the fire boss, Parry,
was the only one dead at p. M, but that
several others, one at least, cannot recover.
