PENSIONS AND THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
Washington, June II (Specia.-If the Pension bill
had been left the tender mercies of the Democratic
party in the House yesterday, it would have been de-
fcated by vote Of more than two to one. Only
twenty seven Democrats voted for the bill, while
fftysix were recorded against it, Among the latter
ii is surprising well as sad to find the names OF
those two eminent friends of the Union veteran
Springer, of Illinois, and "lceman" Turner, Of New
York The latter gained the proud distinction OF
being the only New York man who voted in the mega
tive. The only other Northern Democrat except
Springer and Turner, who voted against the bill was
man named Mutchler of Pennsylvania. All inc
course, breckenridge, of Arkansas, among them.

drinkers. The effect of the passage of the bill would
be TO increase and half times the consumption OF
barley thus tending materially TO relieve the distress
