Tnn grim reaper has been more sparing of the chief members of the confederate government than of the chief contemporary members of the Union government Jefferson Davis is still living, -while Lincoln and Johnson are both dead, but Alexan der H. Stephens has joined The great majority. There Tvere three secretaries of state under Davis Jndah P. Benjamin, who died in Lon don last Tuesday, Bobert Toombs and K. M. T. Hunter, who live, sur viving Secretary Seward. There were four confederate secretaries of war. Of these, L. Pope "Walker, the first, only survives, with Simon Cam eron, and George W. Kandolph James A. Seudon and John G. Brcck enridge sleep with Edwin M. Stanton in the city of the silent There were two confederate secretaries of the treasury, C. G. Memminger, who still lives, and G. A. Trenholm, who has passed away with Chase and Fes- sendeu. Davis had only one secre tary of the navy, S. B. Mallory, and in and Gideon welies have both gone to their final rest " There were three confederate attorney generals. Of these, Thomas Bragg is dead, as is Judge Bates of the Lincoln cabinet, and Thomas H. Watts and George E. Davis are still living. There was only one confederate postmaster general, John H. Reagan, and he survives Montgomery Blair and Governor Dennison of the Lin coln cabinet, and is one of the lead ing members of the present house from Texas. lie was in congress be fore the war, was in the provisional confederate congress, and was post master general from the organization of the Davis administration until it held its last cabinet meeting at Char lotte, after Appomattox. As soon as made eligible, he was returned to the Union congress, where he has con tinued until now, and is likely to re main his life time if he shall desire it. There are five members of the con federate congress now serving in the federal congress. They are Senators Vest of Missouri, Pugh of Alabama, Garland of Arkansas, and Bepresenl atives Singleton and Barksdale of Mississippi. Vest was a confederate senator; Garland was both senator and representative, and Pugh, Barks dale and Singleton were in the con federate house. Sats the New York Sun: "The fact that James G. Blaine, without emerging in person 'from the seclu sion of his study, and without remit ting in any perceptible degree the closeness of his attention to literary work, has been able to invade the president's own state with these sig nal results is one of the most surpris" ing features of the present situation." The New York Commercial Adver tiser says that Conkling was offered a guaranteed income of 850,000 a year if lie would join a large firm of solicitors there, to do only oratorical service in the courts. He refused, thinking, doubtless, that he had suf ficient in that sum already paid him . in annual retainers by a few corpora tions for his advice and influence. "'The New York Sun whose editor is a stickler fpr English pure and un defiled, alludes to a man as "the Ee publican mugwump of the village." As some of our readers may be a lit tle hazy in their notions of Buch a character, we hasten to explain that there is no difference between a Be-" publican mugwump and a Demo cratic swigswog. On our desk is the Dynainite Hfontldy, a journal published in New York, and avowedly in the interest of those who believe it is right to make use of this deadly explosive in destroying the life and property of their enemies. It looks more like a shrewd advertising dodge on the part of manufacturers of giant powder than anything else. The Anglo-French commission, ap pointed to regulate the Newfound land fisheries, has signed an agree ment modifying and defining the French rights, subject to confirmation of the two countries, Newfoundland to bo consulted before its final sig nature. Talking of the Cincinnati riot and the causes which led to it, the Iowa State Register says that murder is one of the safest crimes to commit in Iowa. There have been over 200 murders in that state since 1864, and not a murderer has been hanged. The discover' of soda mines in Wyoming territory should give that happy portion of the republic an im mense immigration boom among cer tain classes of our population. Soda water is one of the most seductive of beverages. Wooden sailing vessels are being rapidly superseded by iron steam crafts for even coastwise trade in Great Britian. Higher freight is con sidered to be .more than compensated by speedier and more certain voyages. Bob Toombs says he is ready to die. If Robert is not afraid to die, Jhe fact is encouraging to a good many timid souls. ANOTHER BOLD PENSION SCHEME. Pension schemes follow each other so rapidly that it is almost immpos sible to keep up with them. The last one is, however, so comprehensive that it is impossible to believe room can be found anywhere for. another short of paying pensions to every man who enlisted, wanted to enlist or ought to have enlisted. It directs the secretary of the in terior to place upon the pension rolls the names of all soldiers or sailors or mariners who served two months or longer continuously in any confed erate prison, providing they are now suffering from disability, either gen eral or specific. Besides being placed on the pension rolls they are also toJ receive two dollars -for each day of imprisonment as a gratuity. The list is further augmented by placing upon it the names of the widows of soldiers and sailors who served two months in p'rison andhaye since died. The third and last new class cre ated consists bf all soldiers, snilors or marines -who have served six months in any war in which the United States have been engaged and "nrho are found, upon examination by a board of pension surgeons, to be so disabled as to interfere with the per formance of manual labor. It is fur ther provided that all who have served in any war and have Teached the age of sixty-two years shall be placed on the roll, provided .they are compelled to earn a living by manual labor. The strict rules of evidence heretofore en forced are now thrown down and that of a secondary character declared competent The bill has been reported favorably from the house committee on invalid pensions. Instead of protecting the government that body is simply en gaged in a scheme to draw from the treasury all the money for whioh any possible excuse can be found. It is surely time that some northern man of position and ability should be found to speak out plainiy on this question. The pension laws need re striction, not enlargement, unless the resources of the entire country are to be mortgaged for generations simply to pay pensions never earned. Dema gogism has had its run in the matter of pensions; business ought now to have a chance. - Two substantial victories "were gained by the opposite sex last week. One was in England and the second was in Philadelphia. " In the land of our so-called cousins across the water, who treated us one hundred years ago in a very uncousinly man ner, and -who -write and talk about us now as it we were the poor relatives of the family, the University of Ox ford decided to admit women to some of its degree examinations. On Sat urday last a judge in Philadelphia admitted at the end of 'a long battle a woman to practice at its bar. We are glad of this, because every step in the advancement of woman is a step .in the advancement of man. The editor of the Portage Progress makes this announcement : " I sap port my reputation by publishing a newspaper, and my family by sawing wood."
