If the people of the United States were not injured by twenty five ; years of plundering to the most reck less schemes of expenditure ihey would he startled and aroused by the proposition of the Senate Com mittee to add 000,000 to the al ready enormous pension list. This is the sum coolly announced by Si mitor Davis. Chairman of the com mittee on IVPSK ns, :is the **estima j ted cost" of the Dependent Pension bill now under consideration in that bodv. The historv of everv general pension bill passed since the fortna tic.n of the government proves that ♦he actual cost exceeds fn m two to tt ii times the nmount '»f the esti- Ijjfi f* s. The Arrears of Version Act was estimated to cost 5i5,000,000. Tt has alralv co«t morf than ten titi»«• - this sum. If the D pendent ]tensions bill shall puss it will cost noirer 5100.000,000 a year than 5M5.000.000. nnd will mortgage the re vermes of the government to a of bo? 1 u« pauper support, or u out door rebef. for the next lift N I \ em s The cost of | »ejis!>i 1 Hie present Tear will be fuHv 5100.000.000.

At the / "• \ L i v \fy \ point of the intersection of the cir cles, the transj'ositiou o f light was shown by the increased brightness of those points, and which will be better understood by reference to j the above diagram.

"Morton's object,"' said this gentlemen, "in going to Florida at this time is to hold a private con sultation with Senator Quay, who is also down there, and to ascertain whether his support can be pur chased. He is prepared to pay a j big price, and I am afraid he will succeed, for Quav has always had a weakness for money, particularly when in large sums, and no man knows the value of money in a po litical campaign better than he.
