THE PENSION FRAUDS.

SENATOR INGALLS, FATHERS THE PEN
SION ARREARS BILL--sENAToR BECK
SAYS HE Is READY TO MAKE GOOD
HIS CHARGES.
WARRINGTON, January 12.--ln the
Senate TO day an issue was squsrely
joined between Senator Beck, Of Ken
tucky, and Senator Ingalls,, OF Kansas,
touching one Of the most important,
AMI to the country one of the most
costly subjects that will appear in this
Congress-the pension frauds and
Arrears Of Pensions ac'. In his elab-
crate tariff speech, delivered In the
Senate on Tuesday, Mr.. Beck said :
81 would promptly repeal the Arrears
of Pensions act. IL was conceived in
sin and brought forth in lniquity. 1t
10 fraud upon the American people
and standing monument to the ig-
norance, selfshness and cowardice of
the American Congress Senator
Ingalls, rose today and said that he
had introduced in the Senate the
Arrears of Pensions bill, that he was
Chairman of The Committee on PEN
sions when that bill was passed and be
challenged the statement of Senator
Beck concerning it, and for the pur-
pose of bringing the subject directly
to the attention OF the Senate and Of
the country he offered a resolution
declaring that in the opinion of the
Senate the Arrears of Pensions act
ought not to be repealed. He init
mated his purpose TO press the resolu-
tiOn to a vote at the earliest possible
moment. Mr.. Beck asked for little
delay to enable him to prepare the
proofs OF his assertions touching the
bill. Senator Beck says this evening
that he will very soon give to the Sem
ate and 10 the country the reasons for
the faith that is in hlm concerning this
expensive measure which has opened
the door to stupendous frauds. In
telligeEt discussion OF this subject is
imperatively needed. $125, 900, 900 arc
this year required on the pension ac-
count, exactly one third of the enor-
mous revenues collected by. Federal
taxation from the people last year.
It will nearly swallow up the enormous
surplus revenues of the Government
for the current fiscal year. 1t is
about twice the interest ON the public
debt.

A speck OF War in Europe.

BERLIN, January 12.-Some ex-
citement is occasioned here by the
sudden withdrawal of the German
minister at Hague under circum-
stances that appear to threaten war
the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
The minister, under the orders OF
Bismarck, made certain demands
respecting the navigation of the
Rhine and the protection of German
fisheries, which were coldly received
by the Minister Foreign Affairs, and
Bismarck ordered the minister to
demand passports and return to Ber'
lin. A resort to force is not impros
bable.

TIE PRICE OF SILK.

A writer in the New York Times having
observed that silk ought not to be called
luxury any longer, since it is almost uni.
versally used in tine United States, con-
temporary which wishes to support Pro.
lection says that this writer might have
added that it would not be so easily
" attainable by the great mass of our peo-
" PIE if pauper wages were paid here as
they are in free trade countries" and
adds that s. silk would really be luxury
and not necessity if the doctrines he
advocates Free Trade doctrines, that is
to sayl, were adopted and practiced by
" this Government. We are sorry to be
obliged to point out that all this is ridicu.
lous nonsense. In the free trade country
referred to silk is very much cheaper than
it is in the United States. 1t is nearly
seventy.fve per cent. cheaper as regards
some grades, and forty to fifty per cent.
cheaper as regards others. But what orr
preposterous contemporary calls the s'pau-
per wages Of England are in truth only
about ten per cent below those of the
United States, and in several occupations
they are equal to or more than the Ameri-
can wages. 1t follows from these facts
that the English workingman is better
able to buy silk than the American work

some rights that il was some time
before said Brooks aud Rathbone could in
duce him to talk to them, and when he
did talk he said Co them at that interview
that be had contemplated the removal of the
President for six weeks, and was forcsd to it
by an inspiration from God, OF words to that
effect, and that he had no fear of punishment
aud no fear but that he wculd be liberated /;
that the prisoner in conversation was appar-
emily cool and unconscious of any risk or
danger to himself from trial for his act, and
showed by his words and manner unmistak.
able evidence Of insanity. Affiant expects
to prove by McElfresh and Austin
that they rode to the Jail with the
prisoner, as officers in charge of him,
| immediately after the shooting, and
all the actions and words of the prisoner on
| that occasion were indicative of an insane
man. Affiant expects to prove by Andrew
Mcfarland that he has been connected with
insane asylums, and has had almost constant
care and oversight of insane people for nearly
thirty-seven years past, being many years in
charge of the Illinois State Asylum for the
Insane at Jacksonville, in that State, where
he now resides, and which position he now
holds; that he knew Guiteau's father in
MS lifetime, and had opportunity for a
week, during which time said Guiteau
was his guest at jacksonville, of
scientific observation Of the mental
condition of Luther w. Guiteau, in or about
the year 1864, and came to the conclusion
that he was insane on the subject of religion,
and still believes SO. Mcfarland is of the
opinion that the prisoner is now insane.
Afiant further says he has been misled by
the course of the prosecutionin giving the name
of said McElfresh as a witness in this case,
and then in not calling him, and that he
uyou1d y,ot nthcruiEa have haon eollad bu the
defense; that he is now detective. as also
are said Brooks, Rathbone and Austin. This
stiiant is informed and believes that all four
are Government employees, and subject to
the call of the prosecution in this case at any
time.
