Gen. W. F. ("Baldy') Smith and

number of other veterans almost equal
ly eminent have sent a memorial to
Congress, urging the adoption of the
following reforms in the existing pen
sion laws and the administration there

First-The payment ofpensions only
to those who, by wounds or disability,
have been actually disabled in the SER
vice Of their country, and to the widows
and orphan children of such pensioners

sion roll of all men, disabled or other
wise, who are in the receipt of incomes
ample for their support and the mainte-
nance of their families.
Third-A cutting off from the pen
sion roll Of all deserters and soldiers or
sailors who proved false to their oaths
and were dishonorably discharged from
the service.
Fourth-The appointment of the

The. Reading Railroad In the Hands OF
Receivers.

New York Press, Feb. 21.
Unable longer to withstand the tide
Of adversely against which for weeks it
has been struggling, the Reading Rail
road yesterday again passed into the
hands of receivers. The surrender was
rendered inevitable by the demands of
holders of the floating debt and by the
panic of sellers ON the New York and
Philadelphia Stock Exchanges. The
application for receivership was made
in the United States District Court of
Philadelphia by friendly security
owner-Hon. Thomas c. Platt of
New York. The application was con-
CURED in by John G. johnson, chief
counsel for the company, and A. A..
Mcleod, president of the Reading, E.
P. Wilbur, ex-president of the Lehigh
Valley Railroad, and Judge E. N.
Paxon, Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court Of Pennsylvania, were appointed
joint receivers.
On the Stock Exchanges of New
York and Philadelphia yesterday the
Reading panic" continues with unprec-
edented excitement, and the sales of
the stock were the largest ever recorded
in single day in the history of the
Stock Exchange. In the first half
hour over 100000 shares, worth at par
s25, 5,000,0 900, changed hands at a net
decline of 81 points, and hardly less
than 1000 and 5000 share lots were
sold at time. The price often fell
full point between sales. As the entire
capital stock of the Reading Company
is $4,000 shares, more than the entire
capital stock changed owners yesterday.
The company controls LIB miles of
railroad, 194,00 acres of coal mines,
153 miles of canal, three iron furnaces,
74S locomotives, TAT passenger cars,
"a, lila freight cars, 10 steam colliers,
5 tugs and 1877 coal barges, besides
other valuable property.

Don't fail to read the letter from our
correspondent Axtel, on road building
There is more sound sense in it than
the Vermont League will promulgate
for the next half century. How
strange it is that people, supposed to
have common sence, will listen a mo-
ment to the impractical theories of po-
litical cranks and mountebanks. A
majority Of the towns Of the state are
now overburdened with taxes, and the
man who would suggest to them the
feasibility of buying steam stone crush
ers and rollers and building stone
roads is too silly to be good. But this
is of q piece with some other things,
for example: A few farmers can't get
together to talk about butter making
or any other branch of their industry
without having some OF these cranks
present to tell them hoy to do it-men
who don't know whether butter comes
from COW or mule, and don't care
so long as they can get oleomargarine
for their own use But then we sup
pose it is very nice to be noticed by
these fellows who have a high souud-
ing handle to their names-and then
the tafy, Oh! that's licking good, and
they deal it out so sweetly. 1t is to
be hoped that some day the farmers
and working men will attend to their
own business as they now do their own
work, and let the brainless nincom-
poops 60 to grass
