By resolution passed by the house of
representatives on Tuesday morning, after an
all-night session, the bill granting pensions
to the surviving soldiers Of the Mexican war
and certain Indian wars was made the special
order for to-day. The resolution was sprung
upon the house Monday evening, after the
usual hour for adjournment, and many of
the members had left the capitol, supposing
acted. 1t occurred to such Of the republicans
as were in their places that matter of
such importance should not be acted on with
out proper consideration, and Mr.. Browne, of
Indiana, accordingly availed himself of the
parliamentary privilege of ascertaining
whether quorum was present The demo-
Gratis spent the night in trying to muster
quorum containing a sufficient number of
the friends of the resolution to insure two
thirds vote in favor of its passage. At 8
o'clock Tuesday morning they succeeded in
getting 2l1 members to answer roll call.
There were 176 votes in favor of tho resolu-
ton to So against it, and 50 it was declared
adopted.
Under the rules of the house the bill could
not be discussed, the question being merely
as to whether a day should be fixed for its
consideration; but several of the republican
members remarked that they objected to the
bill, because it proposes to pension thesurviv-
ing soldiers of the Creek, Black Hawk, and
Seminole wars, as we'll as the Mexican veter-
ans. Mr.. Calkins, of Indiana, said that he
was in favor Of the bill as far as it referred to
the soldiers of the Mexican war. The other
features of the bill are so Objectionable, how
ever, that the republican members feltjustihed
in using all tho parliamentary devices
within their reach to prevent the fixing of a
day for its consideration. The bill author

to place on the pension rolls the surviving

1t is quite in accordance with the eternal
ftress of things that Senator Vest, of Mis-
souri, should lead in the attack on the ma
tional banks. Senator Vest is q state rights
democrat, and his political instincts lead him
to oppose anything which represents an ex-
ercise of national authority or power in th o
states. The national bank system in o cor
tain sense represents the national authority.
1t is based on government bonds issued
during the war to sustain the government in
the suppression of tho rebellion, in which
Senator Vest was a factor on the other side.
| The banks are governed by national laws.
While the senator, as a member of the con-
| federate congress, was voting for issues Of
confederate treasury notes, which deprs-
ciated to such an extent that it took several
hundred dollars to buy pair of Shoes and
the woman who went to market had to
carry with her bigger load of bills than she
brought back of marketing; while he was
voting for these issues northern fnanciers
and statesmen were organizing and laying
the foundations Of the national bank system
which has given the country incomparably
the best paper currency it ever had and as
good as the world ever saw.
The statement that the national banks are
an oppressive monopoly is untrue, and the
argument founded upon it is fallacious and
demsgogical. They are not a monopoly.
The system is open to all. Any person or
number of persons who choose to do 80 can
engage in banking by compliance with law,
the provisions of which are of equal and uni.
| form application. True, not every person
| possesses the requisite means to engage
in national banking; but that is
their misfortune. Not all men possess
the requisite means to engage in
mining, manufacturing, or merchandise, but
ii would be absurd to say therefore that these
occupations are monopolies. No person who
understands the meaning and use of language,
and who has due regard for truthful use of
it, will say that the national banks are o
monopoly.
| In addition to furnishing q safe and uni
form currency, the national banks are of
incalculsblo value in encouraging, develop
ing, and sustaining the business interests of
the country. Every bank is center of
trade, an indispensable part Of local business
machinery. As places Of deposit and discount
they meet the demands of business and of
business mon as they could not possibly be
met in any other way. Their abolition would
be fearful blow TO the business interests of
tho country, and the adoption of such a
policy would be regarded by the whole COM
mercial world as piece of suicidal folly.

The Democratic Caucus.

At caucus of democratic members of the
house held yesterday afternoon Messrs. Car
Isle, Randall, Morrison, Eaton, Reagan, Bar
bour, A. S. Hewitt, Thompson, and Cobb were
appointed committee to confer with COM
mittee Of the senate in relation to the organi-
cation of a democratic compaign committee,
and TO report at a joint caucus to be held next
Wednesday.
The chairman of tho caucus, Mr.. S. s. Cox,
was instructed to appoint a committee of six
to Cooperate with the sergeant alarms in
securing tho prompt attendance of members
when a call of the house is ordered.
The following resolution was adopted, its
object being to prevent repetition of pro-
ceedings similar to those Of Monday night:
THAT it is the sense Of this.caucus that no
democrat should absent himself from the
house without leave"

The secretary Of war has notified Gen.
Beckwith at Cincinnati and Capt. Cushing at
Pittsburg to pay out of the funds at their dis
posal the allotments Of money made by tho
secretary to the mayors of the different cities
for the purchase of supplies. The total
amount Of money allotted to the cities below
Ironton, which district is under charge of
Gen. Beckwith was $4,000, and the allot-
ment to the cities above that point, which
district is In charge Of Capt. Cushing was
$61, $50. To these amounts should be added
$4,000 sent to Gen. Saxton at Louisville for
Jacksonville, and $1,000 to Mayor Bell at
Newport, making grand total of $S7,750 in
dependent of the large sums expended by
Gems. Beckwith and SaXton in chartering
and provisioning relief steamers.
In consequence of tho many applications
made to the secretary of war for assistance
out of the refund fund in re-establishing the
destroyed dwellings, the secretary asks that
public notification be made in the newspa-
pers of the associated press, particularly in
those which may reach the various points in
the flooded districts. that he is not authorized
by law to use any part Of the fund for that
purpose.
He is only authorized to distribute sub
sistence stores, clothing, and other personal
neoessaries. Such tents as can be furnished
from the stores Of the army, which are not
many, will be furnished through Gen. Beck
with at Cincinnati, and all applications
therefor will be referred to him.

Census Report on wages.

The secretary of the interior transmitted to
the house of representatives yesterday a
communication from the superintendent OF
the census, inclosing the report of Joseph d.
Weeks, special agent of the census bureau,
on the statistics Of wages in manufacturing
industries. The report includes COS tables,
giving the rate Of wages paid in ffty-four OF
the more important manufacturing, mechan-
icsl, and mining industries Of tho United
States for series Of years, covering in a
large number Of cases the period between 1850
and 1880, and statements relating to allow
snces and deductions and methods of pay
ment of wages, regularity of employment,
relation Of labor to cost of production, &c.
The special agent, in his letter transmitting
his report to the superintendent Of the CEN
sus, says: at is believed that these inquiries
fairly represent the average wages paid in
the different industries in different sections
of the country for the years named.

Gar Flnk's Peculiar Methods.

DtVOH FTcC fTc65.
Owing to the peculiar methods now in vogue
of managing fast freight lines and transportation
companies. necessitating the employment OF "dis-
interested" officials to watch and regulate the op-
erations of pools there is liable to be never
ending succession of grumblings from the stock
holders of such railroad companies as think they
don't get their share in the " divide" James Nc
Henry is the latest open fault finder. but his COM
plant Is general, not special He says for O very
large percentage of the reghts handled by all the
American railroads, at the expense of the several
companies doing the work, the roads themselves
get no pay the entire receipts being eaten up In
paying the salaries and expenses of the disinter-
ested pets who run the pools. Had this plain
speech been uttered by railroad magnate in good
and regular standing, Pool Commissioner Fink
probably wouldlhave entered a respectful protest,
with tabulated statement appended, tending to
show that the existing system, of which he is the
head, costs less than nothing and pays enormous
profits; but as Mr. McHenry is playing in hard
luck, MT. Fink merely waves his hand and calls
the complaint the most outrageous bosh ever
heard Ofn

sary, however, to mako an effective
demonstration in behalf OF republican
principles. Philadelphia comes to the
trout. This is presidential year.
and her sturdy voters would not permit
difference of opinion about matters of small
moment to stand in the way of republican
victory. Mr. Randall appreciated the i'm
portance of the contest when he urged his
we'll disciplined cohorts to work for demo-
cratic victory. The republicans accepted the
issue as he presented it, and the victory
which they achieved is surprising to them
selves Tho committee of ono hundred is
very respectable and very powerful organi-
zation, but when its action threatens to i'm
peril republican success in the nation it is
brushed aside with as little consideration as
if it was democratic campaign club.
