While an effort is being made by some Kepresentatives in Congress to amend the Pension Act and repeal the features under which so much fraud has been perpetrated, a sort of pension mania seems to have taken possession of some of the honorable gentlemen. For instance, old bills have been re vived for pensioning the survivors of the Mexican, Black Hawk and other wars. New bills have been introduced granting additional pensions to the Union soldiers and sailors of our civil war. One, brought forward by Mr. Van Voorhis, of New York, proposes to give to each Union soldier who was confined in any Confederate prison during the late war the sum of one dollar for each day of such confinement. Another, by Mr. Musgrove, of Pennsylvania, pro poses to give to each soldier or sailor pnnfinAd in Confederate Drisons for a period of six months a pension of eight dollars per month, the pension to date back to the day of discharge of said soldier or seaman. One dollar per month more is to be given to each soldier or sailor for each additional month he was held a prisoner. Mr. Houck, of Ten nessee, has introduced a third bill to extend the pension laws to all civil offi cers injured while enforcing the reve nue laws, and also to grant pensions to the widows and helpless children of all officers killed in the enforcement of those laws. A fourth bill, introduced by Mr. Ford, of Missouri, provides for the payment of bounties to the colored troops serving in the war, and also to the heirs of such as were killed in the war or have since died. This bill, ac cording to the New York Times, would put 93,441 additional names on the pen sion list. Under the imprisonment pension bill introduced by Mr. Van Voorhis. it is estimated that it would cost $54,000,0oo to carry out its provi sions. Under the Musgrove bill the cost would be $459,600,000 to pay the benefi ciaries under the act up to July, 1SS2. How many more of this class are to be introduced we have no means of knowing, for it seems that a good many of the distinguished gentleman who oc cupy seats in Congress entertain the idea that the very best thing to do with the people's money is to give it away in pensions. While they are on that business lest they overlook some deserving person we suggest that a pension be voted to the heirs (if they can be found) of the man who invented the wheel-barrow. He was a public benefactor, and no country is more indebted to him than the United States. " There is no telling, in fact, how much we are indebted to the wheel-barrow, which, unpretending as it is, is in all probability the progeni tor of all other wheeled concerns. Its biographer, we know, does not claim this for it, but that is attributable, per haps, to his modesty. The wheel-barrow is a power, and to-day without the blowing of any trumpets, is conspicu ously engaged in preparing the way in all parts of this country for that boss of all wheeled institutions the locomo tive which though fussy and noisy, lias done so much to convert this Re public from an inhospitable howling wilderness into an enlightened land, where lager beer can be got at five cents a glass. Does this not present a claim to the average Congressman? The heirs of Christopher Columbus, why are they forgotten? Had not Christopher's excursion been suspend ed by running afoul of this continent, none of these gentlemen would now enjoy the privilege of sitting in Con gress to vote pensions to anybody. They owe a debt of gratitude to Chris, and as they can't reach him at present to re pay it they should hunt up his orphans and give 'em a pension. It would be proper, also, for them to show their appreciation of De Soto for discovering the Mississippi River, which has opened up such a fine field of specu lation for the lobby and for Congress men who are on the make. If the Mis sissippi hadn't been discovered, they would never have found the where abouts of the beautiful meandering Fever River, upon whoso picturesque bank3 the antique city of Galena nes tles. They would never have discover ed Galena, and then where would Gov. Dick Yates have found Grant to crush the "rebellion," and the war might still, be racing. This would have knocked the bottom out of the whole pension business. They owe a debt of gratitude to Mr. De Soto, which they should pro ceed forthwith to liquidate. As his in come is probably sufficient where he now holds forth, and it would be diffi cult to find him, the pe'nsion might be conferred upon his children if they have not emigrated and gone to locate with the old man. We might enlarge Urn list of benefac tors by adding to it the discoverer of the national game of draw-poker, which has given America no little celebrity, and has solaced the lonely hours of many an illustrious Congressman ; the inventor of ham sandwiches, which decorate and gladden the American lunchboard ; the constructor of the lu cifer match, which has thrown so much light upon the land ; the discoverer of kerosene, which has not only reduced gas bills, (and gas is something in which Congressmen figure) but sheds general illumination and sends many souls to glory ; the architect of light bread.whicb. has robbed the American biscuit of it3 terrors, and last but not least the dis coverer of the game of base ball, walk ing matches, bicycles, roller skates, Bo logna sausages, chewing gum, centen nials, and a host of other worthy insti tutions, which have conferred more or less distinction upon our beloved coun try and placed more or less of her fifty millions of people, regardless of age, sex or condition, under lasting obliga- tions. Let them be remembered, by all means, when the pensions are being passed around. Butf joking askle, this pension busi ness as being carried to an absurd ex- PL.AiN.Ti.LK. The announcement that Col Johnston, of Charlotte, and cape. Chas Price, of Salisbury, had undertaken to make a plunge into "indepen dent poli tics, was first published in the columns of this paper, and of course gi veil to our readers as a matter of news. We concede to them the right to formulate their own political dogmas, from their own standpoint, and we have stood ready and willing at any and all times to correct any erroneous impressions that may have gone outif aa, h ueoii uiituoi jjuiiu ui lucoo xsuwouivu rnve been freely offered the use of our columns,and as yet the quasi de- nial of Col. Johnston first published in another newspaper, but copied by us as a matter of justice, has been the only response so far. This we might say to Col. Johnston is far from satis factory to his frienda, but that is a matter entirely for his consideration and not ours We have not, and shall not, at least not now, join in the crusade that is being made in the State press, and no tably give endorsement to such articles as appeared in this week's Statesville Landmark in regard to both Johnston and Price, until there shall be greater cause for party grievance. Instead of driving these gentleman out of the par try we would much prefer to have them remain, and if reform is necessary, help to carry out that reform, rather than see them go over to the enemy, even if they carry nobody with them. Is sues may arise in the near future which will be likely to demand the best talent and the coolest heads within the party, and if so wouldn't it be well to listen to the ideas to be advanced by indepen dent thinkers, before thay are hung, drawn and quartered? Of Capt Price, we know but little, except that we believe he has been a consistent Democrat His espousal of the anti-prohibition question last fall was a matter which he had the right to decide for himself, and we denounce now, as we denounced then, the idea that it was a political question, or that to oppose the measure was undemocrat ic. In fact the individual right to de cide that question was and is the very essence, so to speak, of democracy. We differed with Mr. Price then but we didn't differ with him as a democr.it. We have no apology to make for our course, nor do we demand any from him. It was not a political question, and the man who attempts to make it so in future will soon find that he has engaged in an up hill business, as he will experience from both parties. Col. Johnston took the same view of the matter, but we do not think that this makes him liable to democratic censure. He may have experienced a change of heart, and he may renounce his old political associates, but he has not gone so far that repentance may not yet save him. Of course he don't ask us for this advice, but if he will read an extract from the North State, the lead ing Republican newspaper in North Carolina, published in another part of this paper this morning, it is likely that he may give the subject of a political summersault, some serious reflections. Whatever else may be said of him until now, at, least, he has always been found in the ranks of the democracy and contending for democratic princi pals. He has been firm in his adhesion to the party perhaps, when he might have1 made it profitable in a political point of view, to have been found on the other side. We do not know that any man ought to be praised for having done his duty, but we do know that to abuse a man is not the way to convert him, or to bring him back into the path of political rectitude, if perchance he may havg temporarily strayed there from. Let us wait, brethren of the press, until "crop time." WHERE ARE WE, ANY WAY? The telegraph brought us the follow ing item of information late yesterday evening, whieh we publish verbatim, merely venturing to ask the question to be found at the head of this item: To the Editor ol the Observer: AsnzviLLE, N. C, Jan. 28. I left Pig eon River yesterday .on the Western North Carolina Railroad train and came through to Asheville.

The last affidavit is that of Scoville setting forth newly discovered evi dence upon which be bases hia motion for a new trial. Not the Same Union. New York, Jan. 28.

With such a number in the field it is impossible to tell who will succeed in eettine the place. And this is not all. It was thought a few weeks ago, and so stated, that Penny- nacker would have no opposition in slipping into Cannady's shoes.

PERSONAL NOTES. Gen.S. H. Manning, of Wilmington, is here looking after Judge Russell s canvass for theJudgeship of theEastern District. Petitions are pouring in from the Fifth district, asking for the removal of Geo. B. Everitt as collector. The grounds alleged are that he is a Demo crat, is discourteous, etc. The petition now numbers over 1.000 names. Col. Deake. Col. Humphrey and oth ers have left. Mr. Jenkins still holds the fort. Special agent Martin of the Treasury Department has just returned from Wilmington, where he was engaged in examining the accounts of Cannady in connection with repairs on tne marine hospital. He refuses to divulge the re sult of his investigation. Senator Ransom delivered the neat est, prettiest little speech on Senator Burnside that has been beard in the Senate for some time. It was the gem of the occasion. Jas. Barron Hope, editor of the Nor folk Landmark, delivered hiscentenni' al poem at Lincoln Hall the other night before an appreciative audience. It teems with true poetic sentiment and is a nne production. Senator Vance, who was a schoolmate of the poet, was present. Col.

Pickup Gulteau'e Counsel Aek Information About the Bill of Exceptions. Washington, Jan. 28. In the Crimi nal Court this morning, Scoville and Reed, counsel for Guiteau appeared and the former inquired of the court in re spect to the form of his bill of excep tions, whether he would be compelled to except specifically or whether a gen eral lexception would suffice. Judge Cox stated that under the practice of the court he would have to except spe cifically. Scoville then stated that he had intended to file his motion for a new trial, but he would like to have until Monday. The District Attorney objected, and Scoville stated that in that case he would file his motion this afternoon in the Clerk's 'office. The District Attorney asked that the court assign Tuesday next for the hearing of the argument upon tne motion out up on representations from Scoville that he would scarcely be able to enter upon the argument at that time, the court declined to fix a day at present.
