From Chambers journal
Shortly after the breaking out Of the
French Revolution, It's advocates denoan-
ced our Premier as 'an enemy 10 tile hu-
man race !" that man $50 easy to live
with" who sung tho song about himself,
called, "BillY Pitt, the Tory" His secre-
tary one day told him that foreigner,
who spoke English tulerably well, had
twice or thrice aeked 10 see him. but, not
looking Ike proper applicant, had been
sent away, the great mans time being too
precious for him TO admit every stranger
who, ON frivolous pre,exts, might seek To
crafty an idle curiosity. This person,
however, had said he should return in an
hour the secretary, therefore, thought IL
his duty to inform Mr.. Pit Of such inten
tion, and asked his further orders Ia the
affair.
"neve the goodness" said the Minister,
80 opsn the top left-hand drawer in that
cabinet, and bring me its contents"
These were n pair Of pistols aud nc
rocco case opening the later, he pro-
ducod snuff-box, in which was set a
portrait.
"Is that like our visitor p asked Pit.

"5ir T. exclaimed the attached retainer,
evil you expose 10 danger your life on
which so much depcpds2'
"Thcre WILDE no danger thank you
but yea may be within ell, II you

Accordingly The Frenchman, on bis re-
turn, was ushered into the room where
William Pitt eat oloue-a loaded pistol ia
one land, the miniature ia The other.

PIT, clmly, "you soc am IN every way
prepared for you, thanks 10 an agent cm

The intended assassin stood psralyzed
and dumb at This cool reception

TWO THOUSAND MILLIONS FOR
PENSIONS

II
TWO THOUSAND MILLIONS FOR
PENSIONS.
IL is estimated upou the present
basis that over two thousand mill
ious OF dollars will be needed 20 ray
the pensions claims. AMI new bills
are now before Congress Intended to
include additional classes OF claim
ante. Tuo appropriations and The
dthclsueles for tie current year will
more than double the aggregate icr
the fiscal year Just expired, which
was sixty-six mi Iious, The expen-
ses attending the adjustment Of these
cIoims We're 81 240, 200 !or the year
1881 1882, and they will be So
OIL 800 for The year lS82-l9,3.
These appalling figures show this
fact: that the annual grant for pen.
sious IS now twIce as large as the in.
tereat on the national debt. 1t is
the greatest single item in the whole
budget.
A Pension 81 for one hundred
millions went through tho House OF
Representatives. ecenlly without the
least question or even the form Of a
division. all the politicians at the
N0Itn are afraid to dlscuss tn, &c bills
with the same freedom as other
measures The South is tongue tied
because any candid treatment from
that quarter would be denounced
and ascribsd to & sectional motive.
Between t,midity on one side and
eni)rced plence on the other, almost
any form OF Pension Bal, without
regard TO merit, can be driven
through Congress. The inventive
genius OF the Ring which has prof
itcd immensely by this legislation il
constantly exercised TO devise new
schemes of robbery.
The Commrssioners Of Pensions
and Committees OF Congress have
officially admitted the existence OF
vast frauds. Mr.. Bentley, who pre-
ceded Mr.. Dudley, showed that in
five hundred cases examined under
his supervision seventy per cent. Of
maud was found, mainly composed
Of perjury and forgery. So that the
Treasury is Lot only plundere1,
but the system invites crime and
breeds it.
The sbsence Of proper safeguards
is the main cause Of these extensive
frauds. Claim agents and other5 in.
terested know how to play upon the
fear OF the go-caled soldier vote"
aud that in way they have succeeded
!n preventing punitory legislation.
IN tho debate on Saturday last on
the Pension Bill, Mr.. Beck proposed
that list OF pensioners should be
conspicuously posted in every Post
Office, and published in two county
newspapers, as means Of detecting
fraud. This is a simple but efec-
tive remedy, which would bring
ieIse claimants in review before their
own immediate neighboIs. The prop
osition opposed by Mr.. Logan and Mr..
Plumb who pretended it involved
dIsoredil.
The pension Iist ought to be q ror

the tact that he is a gentleman oil
excellent character ;<that he is "a
good citizen and. neighbor; and
that he is one of the ablest men
in the State. He has resided
here for nearly "A quarter of q
century, and has filed many pla-
ces of public trust with credit and
usefulness. His personal habits
are beyond reproach. He is an
arti-pruhl bilionist, but has never
been a drinking man !; in fact no
man in the state ls~mOre temper
ate in his habits than Mr.. Click.
He is lawyer by procession, but
has not been in active practlce tor
