SOMETIMES, remarks the New

most tremendous OF arguments. That
lie the case with Mr.. TELLER's state

It is tremendous argument
against the appropriation Of the $780,.
000.000 and more which the Pension
Bureau asks Congress to vote at the
present session.
Since We began 10 1862 to pay pen
sIons on account of the civil war
there has been taken irom the Treas
ury for that purpose the total sum
OF $685. .407 092 for nearly halt a
million pensioners.
Aud yet during the twelve months
ending with June, seventeen years
after the last bullet was shot at a
Union soldier, there We're added to
the pension rolls net less than 81
664 new names. The amount paid
last year to new pensioners was $780,
42l $50
THIS does not end the account.
There are now pending in thu tu-
reau 900 966 new claims for pensions
and arrears Of pensions.

Mr.. Bayard, of Pennsylvania, has
proposed q constitutional amendment
relative to the number of Senators
from each state. 1t provides that the
senate shall be composed of at least
two senator's from each state, but for
each 100000 of inhabitants in excess
of 100000 an additional senator shall
be allowed. We should say that such
an amendment could not be made, for
the clause of the constitution which
provides for making amendments ex-
pressly declares that no state without
its consent shall be deprived of its
equal suffrage in the senate" 1t mat
tiers little how this eqnal suffrage be
destroyed, whether by emitting a SEN
ator from smaller or adding a senator
to a larger state. Rhode Island, Del
aware, or any of the smaller states
would probably never consent to such
a change in which case the only way
to get at it would be first to amend the
clause of the constitution relative to
the manner of making amendments by

General Washburn has taken it into
his head that the existing presumption
laws are a cheat and a bid upon all
sorts of rascality in the territories now
being so rapidly settled up. He will
bend his energies toward the repeal of
these laws, root and branch, believing
that they are no longer useful or de-
sirable, The public have regarded
with considerable favor these laws for
securing, title to land in the West, and
they will not readily be relinquished.
Itmay be that if their true character is
shown UP that it will be found that
they are found beneficial only to specu-
lators who are securing the first fruits
without making any return such as
government contemplated in the pas
sage of the law. Gen. Washburn be-
heveS so at least, and he intends to do
what he can to educate his colleagues
in the house up to his way of looking
at it.

A statement Of the composition of
the territorial legislature that convenes
at Salt Lake City on the 10th for a
sixty days session is instructive in the
extreme. The power of this body
composed of thirty-six members) is
the same as legislative bodies in any
of the territories, restricted only by
the vote of the governor. OF the thirty
six members it is affirmed that thirty
two are high officers of the Mormon
church, bound by their oaths to obey
the dictates of the church in all things,
secular and spiritual; and twenty-eight
are living in polygamy, violating the
law of Congress of 1862" If any one
doubts that polygamy is fast dying
out in Utah, let them reflect upon the
above statement.

An attempt has been made by the
MormOns to ostraclse the non-Mormon
postmasters of Utah. AS these officers
are dependent upon the percentage
they receive for the sale of stamps For
their salaries, a refusal to patronise
them deprives them of the due pay
they are supposed to receive for their
labor. Mormon patrons have been
able to withhold their patronage by
purchasing their stamps and other mail
requirements at offices presided over
by brother. The very simple way of
preventing any such practice that
has been adopted is to discharge the
Mormon postmasters and appoint non
Mormons in their stead. This change
will probably cause good deal of UNI
pleasant comment on the part of the
many-wived letter writers of Utah
but if we mistake not, more humiliat-
ing experiences await them in the not
distant future,

Washington gossip is at present
busying itself about the prospective
appointment Of Hon. Aaron A. Sar-
gent, Of California, to the Interior De-
partment. 1t is alleged that Mr.. Sar-
gent has received assurances of his
nomination to that Office, but the APP
pointment for some unknown reason
is delayed. OF course, in an event of
that kind, newspaper correspondents
have it all their own way, and can i'm
agine any kind of reason they choose.
Among others it is suggested that
Kirkwood is not set free from his du-
ties as Secretary Of the Interior, for
fear that his release and return to
Iowa would have damaging effect
upon the prospects of Gen. James Will
son, who will shortly come before the
Legislature Of Iowa as candidate for
the Senate. Secretary KirkWood does
not want to be chosen Senator, but it is
feared his friends will persist in hold
ing him up, nevertheless, and thus
damage Wilson's chances. AS it is a
conceded fact that Kirkwood is to go
out of the Cabinet, the bearing of this
view upon his prospects for Senatorial
honors is not so evident as it might be,
and it is possible that there are other
and weightier reasons for retaining
him and delaying the appointment of
Sargent.

RECIPE FOR CURING A TASTE
FOR LIQUORS.

AT a festival of one of our reforma-
tory institutions, a gentleman is report
ed to have said II overcame the ap-
petite for liquor by a recipe given to
me by old DR.. Hatfield, one of those
good old physicians who do not have a
percentage from neighboring drug
gist. The prescription is simply an
orange every morning half an hour be-
fore breakfast. Take that said the
doctor, and you will want neither IL
quor nor medicine / have done so
regularly, and find that liquor has be-
come repulSive. The taste of the
orange is in the saliva of my tongue;
and it would be as we'll to mix water
and oil as rum with my TASTE" The
recipe is simple, and has the recon-
mendation that it can do no harm if it
does no good.-St Louis Medical and

Representative Orth, of Indiana, has
made public protest against the nomi-
nations Of Speaker Keifer. Mr.. Orth
is one of the oldest representatives,
and has served as chairman and sec.
ond man on many important commit
tees. He considers that he has been
badly used, and not only protests
against the appointments on accountof
his personal grievances, but criticises
the mode Of appointing committees
now in vogue. Whether Mr., Orths
personal dissatisfaction will be Of seri-
Gus moment or not it is evident that his
criticisms on the mode of selecting
committees will receive considerable
endorsement and support. The power
given to Speaker in selecting these
committees is certainly a large and
may be at times a dangerous one.

JUDGE YE.

Here is true story. A young man,
son of celebrated d. D., married a
young woman, a graduate of female
seminary. They were educated 20 and
accomplished. They had two lovely
daughters; both of these at about the
age offifteen died of diphtheria. AS it
was at country-place, the physician
looked at the surroundings. There
was flower-garden in front, and a
hollow to hold slops behind. "Why,"
he said, pointing to the latter, " this is
enough to kill the whole neighbor-
hood" Were reading, writing and
arithmetic the most important things
for that father and mother to know +?

The views of Congressman Tom
Browne, of Indiana, on the Fitz John
Porter case appear in the Inter Ocean
of Tuesday. Thomas does not hest
tate to express his opinion that Mr..
Porter has been justly dealt with,
Gems. Grant, Terry and the investigat-
ing committee composed of West Point
war experts to the contrary notwith-
standing. Mr.. Brownies views are
based upon the testimony as obtained
by the Court Martial, when the charges
were fresh and evidence convenient
and certain. The trial has been repre-
sented as an expedite and slimsy affair,
which it certainly must have been to
have found Mr.. Porter guilty of those
grave charges, unwarranted by abso-
Lutte fact to bear them out. Mr..
Browne gives his reasons for believing
the finding of the Court Martial cor
rect one. The investigation before it
was prolonged and minute one, last
ing several weeks. The testimony
was overwhelming and unanswerable.
The Court Martial was composed of
some of the most discreet, able, worthy
and in every way honest men, on whom
anything like personal prejudice or
spite could haveno influence. Garfield
was one of his Court Martial. The
case is very singular one. If Porter
was not to blame it is very singular
that Court Martial thus composed
could have found such a verdict. If
he is guilty, it is still more strange
that Gen. Grant, Terry, the Hayes in
vestigating committee, and public
opinion generally { to judge from the ar
ticles that have appeared from time to
time in the leading periodicals of
America), should have made the mis-
take of finding him guiltless after these
long years in which his name has been
the synonym of all that is inglorious
in soldier.

1t is interesting to observe the recep-
ton accorded to Blaine's letter on
the Isthmus canal question by John
Bull. The London Daily Ne,os, dis
cussing Blaine's circular, contains the
following: "That the American inter
ests in the Pacific sea board states
have greatly increased since the Clay
ton-Bulwer Treaty was signed admits
of no doubt, but it is quite an open
question whether England is not in
terested in the Panama canal yet more
deeply. That England, with her vast
American possessions and carrying
trades, should become party to an
agreement yielding the canal into
American hands and acknowledge the
suzerainty of the United States Of the
entire Western Hemisphere, is a dream
beyond the domain of practical poll.
tics"
England has had occasional dreams
Of this character herself. 1t is difficult
to find a portion of her history since
the Norman conquest in which she
has not INDUCED freely in such things
"beyond the domain of practical poll.
tics" And her dreams have not
proved to be mere phantoms of the
night, but broad day light has found
them realized, and discovered them to
be vast, far-reaching strokes of prac.
tical politics. If the position of the
United States as set forth in Blaine's
letters is one of these dreams, Ameri-
ca respectfully asks indulgence. She
wishes to have Just that particular
dream.
