On Pensions.

WASHINGTON, December 29.-The Pen
sion Bureau is in receipt of thousands
of letters from all parts Of the country
indicating the existence of widespread
but erroneous impression that the re-
cent decision of the Supreme Court In
the case of Mrs. Hattie Burnett VS.. the
United States would bring about an al
most total change in the rates of pen
sions allowed to the widows of the sol
diers of the late war. The decision,
which was rendered by Justice Harlan,
on the contrary, sustains the practice
of the pension Office. Mrs. Burnetts
husband, Gen. Ward II. Burnett, was
allowed a pension of $72 per month
by special act of Congress
on account of his totally helpless con-
ditiOn. due to the wounds received
during the Mexican war. The widow
was allowed a pension of $50 in accord
ance wi b the provisions OF the general
law. She, however, appealed to the
court of claims, claiming the same
amount per month that her husband
had received; that court in its deci-
sion used this language: The widow
becomes entitled to the pension, not
band was allowed but the rate he would
have been entitled TO If his claim were
founded upon what the pension law
is technically called, total disa-
bility,' the. degree of d stability
by which his pension was rated makes
no difference with the widows right
after death; all degrees of disability are
consi cred by law, as OF eand the same,
to-wit: Total disability" and the rate
of the pension given TO that grade be-
comes the rate of the pension for wld-
oWs. The pensions to living soldiers
are granted according to their respective
incapacity to perform manual
labor. When the disability is
total, $50 month is given, as an equiv
! alent. A pension of $50 month, a
supposed equivalent tor total disabul-
| ity, i" is granted a widow. The decision
of the United States Supreme Court,
which has been so much misunderstood,
simply, as before stated. afirms the
| judgment of the court of claims and the
long established practice of the pension
bureau has thereby received the sane
ton of the highest tribunal in the land.

The Coming Holiday.
.e Editor Of TIE HERALD:

To the Editor OF TIE HERALD:
In perusing the many signatures of
our leading general merchants of this
city, in giving their employees two days
holiday, viz January 1st and I'd. ], for
one, think it proper and generous act,
and can fully appreciate it. Some may
entertain she idea that clerks in such
establishments. have jolly, easy time
o. it.
Compare the hours that they have TO
put in, with those of the laborer and
mechanics, and the differences striking.
Very few classes of men have fewer OF g.
pOrtuuities for culture of the mind, of
their gardens, or The society of friends
and families, and opportunities TO enjoy
themselv, s than the clerk or salesman.
Hence. they are the parties that can
appreciate this act, especially when it
does not materially Interfere with the
general business OF their employers.
This hearty Thank yoh, Gentlemen, will
receive a spontaneous echo from every
CLERK.

tempt was made on the 23d instant to
blow up the bridge of the Southern Pac-

The work of clearing up gees on slowly

Ter. brothers of three Kiylers who are

that it was impossible that the entombed

whelmed by the food of sand which it
was found had filed every portion OF
