er> his services as valuable. or nor. there
can be no doubt entertained as 10 the views
held by Gen Butler on that subject. He
SAYS:
"When a man has increased the Demo

them all out and measured them and IN the
next presidential election. with judlcious
platform and popular nomination. at least
we should keep all Republican men and
money at home TO take care Of Butler. IN

The commissioner Of pensions went be-
fore the grand jury in Washington, Thurs
day, 10 give evidence upon which he recon-
mended that several firms OF pension agents
be disbarred. H. will be asked TO point out
to them how the circulars sent out have been
calculated and designed to swindle appli-
Giants for pension. District Attorney Cork
hill has received hundreds Of these circulars
from all parts of the country. with paintiye
recitals OF how the senders have been gross
!, swindied BY the pension agents. Tie ev
idence is 50 conclusive that it is only ques-
ton of a few days when indictments will be
brought against these firms. Several of
them have already retired from business, and
are asking for mercy, on the ground that
they have given up practice. This will not
avail them, however, and if there is any viz
tue in the law, they will get their deserts.

Slavery and Religion In Egypt.
rom the Pail Mall Gaxetta

A recent traveller in Egypt sends us tho
following illustration Of the endless difficult
lies the khedive has to overcome in the
slow progress Of interior reform. Indig-
nant that slavery should still flourish in his
realm, Twfik Pasha wished to decree its to-
tai abolition in advance Of sdpulations Of
our treaty with Egypt, which gives them un-
til 1884 and 1889 respectively, but before
taking such an important step he sent and
consulted the Sheik. ul- Islam. Though
fully sharing the views Of the temporal ruler
that slavery was an abomination, the
eclesiatic objected to its wholesale abolition
on the ground that the emancipation Of iniii-
yidual slaves was one Of the most meritori-
GUS Of acts, and that the prophet had con-
ceded this right to his followers as means
of atoning for their sins. In other words,
that slavery must be maintained, a. slaves
are required as human conscience money
to whitewash Mussulman backsliders, and
the khedive has NOT the power to deprive
the faithful Of divine privilege. This
happened as recently as July last; Tewfx
Pasha had to submit, and to 1enounce for
the present his project Of immediate eman.
oipation.
