average age of the soldiers who had claims
in the Office was few days over 80 years. 1t
must now be 81 years. He also found that
the average age at which those on the rolls
died was Sc years.
This showing is by far the most importa Mt
fact that can come before the next session of
Congress. II shows, with frightful clear
ness, the exceeding urgency of the greatest
promptness in passing the pension legisla-
ton recommended by the GAR. National
Pension Committee. Other matters coming
before Congress can wait that body's con-
venience. Men who are dying at the rate of
1900 month cannot They have the right
to precedence over everything else. They
won this right by taking precedence of every
body else when the country was TO be fought
for and saved. Everything and everybody
else has had precedence of them in IL Con-
crosses which have met since the close of
the war; certainly they should have prece-
dence in this one, which was elected on the
distinct issue of speedy justice to them.
With all the haste that Congress can make,
thousands Of them will be dead and beyond
the reach Of the benefits of legislation before
it can be enacted. Any delay in the passage
of that legislation will swell the number Of
those defrauded of justice to tens of thou
sands.
Were we face to face with any of the COM
moner National calamities,' such as floods,
pestilence or fire, in which o few hundred
lives were involved, Congress would act
with promptness and decision. II certainly
should do so where the we'll being of tens of
thousands Of men TO whom the Nation owes
everything is involved, and whose need is as
great and imminent as that of any men who
ever appealed TO Congress.
Let he reterdas hare their Day in Court be-
fore any Other business is transacted.

THE intense selfishness of the average New
Yorker is as well illustrated by his general
indifference to the Worlds Fair scheme and
the Grant monument as by his pronounced
hostility to Protective Tariff aud pensions.
Everyone admits that it would be of enor-
nous benefit to the citYat large to hold the
Worlds Fair there, but all the drumming
of the papers fails to pnloosen the purse
strings of the money arabbers. They have
no interest in any thing that does not put
money directly into their pockets. II does
moi move them that they will be benefited
by it in the future year from now they
may have made their pile and be back in
Europe, when they will have no interest
whatever in the growth or Identification OF
the city.

The Wilmington (N.C.) Messenger, which
is one of the most violent of the organs OF
the Rebel Coppertead- Free Trade Anti PEN
sion horde, says of the arch-rebel;
Exrresident Davis will soon. under tho Divine
blessings, visit own State and meet tens Of
thousands of his countryman who will be eager 10
look upon the man who OF all others deserves the
admiration, confidence, gratitude aud affection of
the Southern people. -
Think of such an expression, at this late
day, in regard to q NTH who, for his own
selfish ambition, plunged peaceful and
happy country intoa bloody war, which cost
a million lives, billions of property, and un-
told sorrow. Think of it, in the glorious
sunlight of to-day, when every item In the
magnificent sum of our prosperity il a con-
domination of all that jeff Davis plotted for,
and attempted to accomplish, through blood
and destruction.

A COMMISSION has been organized, with
Gov. Beaver at the head, to endeavor 10
secure from Congress $3oOO,OOO to reim-
burse the people of Chambersburg aud other
residents of the souther tier of Pennsylvania
Counties for the losses sustained by rebel
invasion. The State of Pennsylvania has
already paid these people 100000 on this
account. The question naturally arises that
If the rebels made such havoc during their
brief stays in very limited portion of the
State, what would have been the destruction
If the boys in blue had not made such fright
ful marches, under broilng sun, to head off
Lee. and then fought his hosts so desperately
to expel them from loyal soil? The veterans
saved the property of the Northern people,
at fearful cost of life and health to them
selves. A pension TO every man of them
is a small return for thisseryice and sacrifice.

MOnkeyed too Long.

A dusky pair-not twins, but sisters
in misery-were being murdered last
Saturday night, at least one OF the pair
was 90 reporting the condition of things.
The officers, to protect them from death,
put them in the cooler. Mahala Coins,
one of the doves, was further protected
by His Honor, Mayor Dawson, by being
placed 30 days in Jail, her companion,
Ida Baker, getting :five days. Richard
Trimble, another unruly, got 80 days
and costs. Minnie Williams, who was
straining the Seventh Commandment,
was also allowed public entertainment
in the Jail at the Mayors request for 80
days. Mayor Dawson means business.
This is right. The people will stand by
the action of the Mayor. If these un-
ruly, profane and vulgar ducks persist in
violating the law, let them suffer the
! penalty.

The dry weather which had been so
intense for the past three weeks created
quite a threatening and destructive con.
dition of things last Sunday on the farm
Of Claibourn Burnett, short distance
east OF New Vienna. The stubble in the
meadow lands caught FIRE from the
sparks OF a passing locomotive and, not
withstanding all the efforts put forth to
subdue the flames, about one hundred
and twenty acres were burned over
destroying half mile OF fence. The
FIRE was finally got under control by
plows being rigged up and burrows run
around the burning material. Over two
hundred people were present, witness
ing the destructive element and aiding
in its suppression.

Served Them Right.

A party Of Hillsboro sports came over
to Washington to do the fair, and open
ed up faro snap to pick up the stray
coppers of the Washington boys and
others who were willing to face the
"tiger." On Tuesday night the Wash.
ton sports jumped onto the game with
both feet and swiped it up root and
branch, carrying away the bank role and
entire layout. Nothing small about the
Washington boys. The Hillsboro boys
are invited to call again whenever they
can raise the dust" Our boys will
have good clothes and plenty of coal this
winter.-State Register.
We have not word of sympathy for
our picked chickens. Whenever any Of
our citizens visit any of our neighboring
cities for the purpose Of obtaining funds
by any such means as a faro game, they
deserve: to be feeced, and we hope they
will be.

An0 OHlOn SCHOOLS opened Win d lull

uncomfortable degree. II is evident

more room to breathe than is enjoyed in
ouf.present school building. It is true
that the greatest Inconvenience is ex.
perlenced in the lower rooms, but the
accommodations Of the present building
aretnot sufficient for the number Of
puuls In attendance. This statement Is
nctnew, nor is 1t remarkably instruct

PtO he able to instruct others that calls
outs notice OF this nature.
p there is one thing that::.may be
ssid,to the School Board and to the peo.
pie ahroush the School Board, and that
= H. admittance Of country pupils TO
fths Union Schools for moneyed consid-
eration. The fact that the tuition has
been raised does not in the least change
the principle. II must be conceded on
evety hand that the schools in,the cor
| portion were established and are being
maintained for the beneft-the sole
bene6t-of the children Of the district.
Now the question may very properly be
raised under the existing circumstances,
whether it Is for the best interests OF
the young people Of this place that so
nuch OF the time Of the teachers in the
Union Schools should be. given to foreign
| pupils.
It ID hardly necessary to enter into q
discussion as to classes having to be
heard anyway, and that q class oi
twenty-five is a. easy to be heard as q
class Of five. The more intellects to be
trained the more effort necessary.
Would it not be wise for the people Ia
consider this matter and give it solu.
ton, say at the next annual election? II
occurs to us that the subject should re-
ceive attentions present attention-fol
II does not require philosopher to dis
Germ that something must be done to-
wards accommodating the pupils who are
now in attendance in our public schools
Another matter that should enter into
the solution Of the question Of whether
foreign pupils should be admitted into
the public schools is the existence in
our midst of the Hillsboro College. (Bt
