This was the first Demooratio THouse of Ropresentatives that had controlled tlio public pocket for maty years, It mada toud profossions of economy, and reduced yarious branches of tho Government below a living nllowanco, Among tho results is tho reduction of ibo Intorior Dopartinent wa have noted, and this reduction falls most heavily upon the Pennion Bureau; as n cons sequonce, thero aro now 104,000 claims for ponsion on nccount of mervico and injury in fighting to malntain tho Union, which connot oven bo pnssed on beennso of the lack of tho nccossary clerical labor. Whilo mon who were maimed or who contracted pormancnt disability in bat- {ling to save tho Government from tho na- gault of Nabols, nnd while widows and orphans, doprived of thoir support by the sacrifice of husbands and fathorsin the same cntige, aro left to bog in vain for a recogni- tion of their claims, it is proposed to give wwny $7,000,000 annually to a class of per- sons who are not suffering, who bnve no genuine claims upon Government bounty, and n largo proportion of whom served in {he Rebel ranks, and brought on the ills for which Union soldiers cannot now receivo proper compensation. Buch a proposition {s a fraud and an outrago. This schemo of Moxican and Indinn war pensions is essontinlly a Domocratic measuro, ‘Tho opposition to it in the Honso is almost exclusively Republican. The Democrats aro plmost unanimously in favor of it as n sop to the Confederalo clement in Congress which will enjoy the largest bonefit from tho passagé of tho measura. The bill mnkes o sweoping ropoal of the present statute prohibiting the payment of pon. slon monoys to those who served in the Robellion, In this manner it opens the way for tho futuro consideration (whou the Confoderato cloment shall be stronger in both Houses) of a wholesala systom of pen. slons to thoso who fonght on the Confeder. ate sids during the War of tho Rtebellion, The opposition the bill hss encountored from tho Republicans in tho House is not solely because of tho excoptional benefits it confers upon ex-Rebels, since the Ropublic- ons mognanimously consented to rostore to tho pension rolls the namos of thoss entitled to bonuty on acconnt of service in both the Mexican war and that of 1812 who had been dropped by reason of their connection with the Rebellion, DBut the Ropublican opposi- tion to this mensura is on its own demerits. Thero I8 no justico or patriotism in giving nblp-bodled men o permanent annual pen. slon because they may have fought Mexican Gronsers and Digger Indians for a fow days, while men who served for yoars in tho Union ranks recoive and are entitled to no pension under the law. The Democratic protenso to economy is fraudulent when it cuts down appropriations so that 104,000 claims for Unlon pensions cannot even be considered, and then turns about to expend $7,000,000 annually in granting pensions to mon who have no claim upon further Government bounty,—inclnding even Jere Davis, the ox- Prosident of the Confedernoy. The United Btates Government has nover boen ungrateful to those who hnvo rendered it servico in timo of war, In tho cnse of tho Mexican war overy man was paid for the full torm of his sorvico, and reccived, be- dides, 160 nores of land at a time when pab- llo lands furnished good plekings. The land-warrnnts woro worth about $200.

The co. ordination of Iungary with Austrin was eoffectod osgalnst the carneat protest of Kossur, It wns nono the loss a con. sequence of tho agitations which ho moro than any other man promoted; and it was, all things considered, tho wisest compromiso of tho Hungorlan claims that could be concelved. Kossurn naturally did not think so. e has never coased to lament tho Austro-Hungarian union or to upbrald the Imperial Government with incapacity, Tho attitudo of that Govermmnont beforo, during, and since the broaking out of the war betwoen Russia and 'Turkoy scems to him spacially unfortunate and dangarous, Mence his present articlo in the Contempo. rary, which is based on two of his previous utterauces, namoly: (1) That, *‘instend of strength, Austria will provo to bo o wenk- ness to Huugary na rogards Russia ;” (2) that ‘*the traditional policy of the Cabinet of Vienna will moke of Hungary s funeral-pile, ou which the Austrian eagle will be burned by Russia,” The argumont of Kossurn ia that Austria refrained from interferonco on behalf of Turkoy when it might have spoken effectual- ly, aud now, too late, secks to negotiate. As it was too slow to nogotiato then, it is too slow to make defluitive demands now, Austro-Hungary bad evory motive to induce 18 to defend tho Turks. They constituted tho *very last dyke of Austria and Hungary sgaingt tho flood of Panslavo-Ozarism," “ Tho future of Hungory aund Austria and of tho dynasty ruling these countries will be. come endangered in the highest degree if one of the results of the present bo that the Doumanians and tho Esstern Slavs become the dopendentsof Russia and get tied to the leading-strings of Russian polioy.” * This ono thing ought not to have been permitted stany price.” But this is the thing that must bo it the Russians are allowed to con- clude the terma of peaco they havo arranged. ¥or the new Bulgarian principality and the Bclavic and Roumanian provinces will bo bound to Russia by the strongest ties of grutitude, If they do not get all that their imaginations desire, they will sbate noue of their love for.

We have recefved the report of the Commls- &lon, consteting of David A. Wells, L. J, N Stark, and Willlam Thurstone, appointed last year to report upon the subject of canal tolls, with suectal reference to the subject of revenues and the growth of the commerce of the canals. The following fs o summary of thelr recom- mendalions: The Commissioners find that up to 1804 the State had lost 87,472,922 s a result of engaging in the business of canal construction and man- agement, but that It the State had run the e and CHamplaln Canals os o business In- vestment, unembarrassed by expenditures upon the outhera, It would have “wbtalned an annual avernze net brofit for each one of the twenty six years prior to 1872 of $2,148,410. As fo the” contitutional provisiun requlrine that there abnll be pald from the annual sur- plus of the camila a certaln sum for the extingulshiment of the canal debt, the report de- tlures that it §s “abrogated by natursl laws," that is tu sy, 1o surplus revenie ix ever likely hereatter to'be placed at the disposition of the Ktate, * Nothing, In the opinfon of sour Com- miesion, {8 more certaln than that unider nosys- tew of tolls mdjustment and canal management sulted to the times, enu a revenue be expecte from the eanals that will more than sutlice to maintain them v o good workable condition und defray the expenses of thelr adminlatra- tion.” An a resultof the analvsis of the various clements entering Into canal finances, the Com- tafeslon lind tnat there will be 1o necessity for any further expenditures on account of extraor- dinary repatrs, and that the vrincipal and in- terest of any existing dent charged to the canals, ns well ns the 820,000 per aunuimn which, accord- ing to the Constitution, the canuls are to pay toward the suvport of government, must be rafsed in some other mauner than by o draft upon vanal revenues. NEEDED CONSTITUTIONAL CIANGES, The Commisslon recommends: 4 First—To make all haste to amend or repeal the proviston of the State Constitution wfllell nftexivly limits the amount that can under any cireumsiances be expended In any ong year on the eanals. - It does not seetn protable that this provision could ever have been adopted, §f the axisting circumstances could have been anticl- pated at the time of {ts aduption. 8o long as it remalns In force, the canals urc llable tu be elosed, or at least serlously cmbarrassed, at any «moment durlng the business scason of the year for want of the necessary funds to operate or repair them, * Second—To determine fn advance of the opening of the caunls’ for the season of 1873 ‘what awount of revenue, under a system of tolls that wlllallow of succesaful colupetition with the rallroads, Is _reasonably certain to be earned by the canals for the curront tlscal year: sud then further determine that no eiforts shall be spared by thuse in authority and trust to make such earnings and the year's expendl- tures fully correspond, trusting to the good fortune thiat intelhgent supervision and fores slght always go far to command that nothing extraordluary demanding unusual expendituro wil happen, * Judggiug from experience, it would scem ns 1L under nsystem of tolls, no higher than pre- valled durlniy thie past season, and which in the maln wero satisfactory to the forwarding inter- ests, nrovenue of over efght bundred thousand at Jeast might safely be snticlpated from the canal earninis tor the year," EPEECT OF JIIE LATERAL CANALS. Of tho burden of the lateral canals the re- port eays:. “Could the constitutional canals be nt unce relieved from tne further burden of tho canals which 1t 18 n the power of the Leglsla. ture to discontinue, thero could be Mitle donbt that the canal revenues of the current year would be suflicient to meet the Auditor’s catl- mates for tho year's fiseal requirements; while to continue, at the demand of purely local and sectional interests, and at this crisis to saddle the main causls with tho cost of maintaining Iaternls, which years of costly experienco have demonstrated tho folly of ever hu‘ldlnz: which no private interests could affurd to take asn gift on condition of keeplng in repair; which o perfod of the ‘prescription of almost nomiual rates for thelr use has abund- antly proved, that to the people of the districta thoy traverss thiese canols are not of sutlicient {mportance to warrant auy considerable using, 18 fu effect to asscrt the oxpediency of provid- Jng for tho litle, at the expense, If uot paraly- #ls, of an interest that Intimately concerus the prosperity of the whole state."

San Franctsen Rulletin, 8an Fraxcieco, Feb, 2L —It was Inmy line of duty to mnke a day trip up the Sacramento River on Wernesday last, and to witness the scenes of that nicht in Sacramento and to re- turn to this city last night. And while I shall attempt to portray some of thuse acencs, 1 wish to declars at the start that no pen can fully describe, no pencil faitbfully delineate the ter- rible events which have transpired in and about Bacramento and aloug the eiver during tho past week, In journeying up the stream, although Its great hefght and turbulent course has created more or less damage, here and there, after you lcave Benlca, yet the Injury and loss sustained ducs not aggregate svything, comparatively speaking, until you reach Sherman Island. Here the destruction has been almost complete, aud a great many peoplo bave not only lost all of thelr stock und lmplements of fartning and of other tire, but they have been driven from thelr homes, some of them at the dead of night, thelr houres and cribs have floated away or toopled uver, In ruln, and themselves wander- urs 8t present in other parts. The situation of Sherman Jsland on Wednesday beg- ears description. 1t is one of the largest {slanils on the Nucrumento River, one of the wnost povulous, the niost fertile, and contalncd a comd muny desirable farms. {n_addition to the raising of stock und grain, there are several dairy and potato ratiches oun_ this Isiand, and, up to Mouiday eventng laat, all the tulinbitauts were happy and contented, and dreaming of abundant crous and corresponding prosperity. But ‘Tuesday the leves hiad broken I mony Pmcm. and un Wednesday nlmost the cutire sland was inundated, It'was 8 most heart- rending gpectacle to witness the raming stream venetrativg ull parts of the Island, and umfln{: with it destruction and desolation upon all sides, if not, ludced, death. Ieanuot believe hut that some huinau lives must have been lost upon Tuesday night and Wednesday, to fast and so furfously did the element surround plantation, ficld, and homestead. Proceeding un the river on Wedneday, the higher you reached the more widespread “seem- ed the ravages of the flood, The levees were broken all nlong on both sides, the only excep- tions belng on Graud Island, and that since bas shared the fate of the others, All of the huuses un the left hond side were surrounded with wa- ter, and the stock for the most part drowned, You could see the inmates of these floating cot- 1ages, ejther at the windows or dours, In tmpro- vised floats, looking the very pleture of help- lessness and despair. Now and then, to be sure, areal Mark Tapley would wave his bsudana, 08 vty buat paased, and rend the sir with joliy cjuculations. Heaching Grand Islaud, it secmed a nent little islc in 8 great oceau of wattr and despulr, Upou the Jeft, so far as the eye could reach, there was one vast, unbroken sea, and no liviog thing to be scen for odistance of many mites. Grand Island on the right, with its Lundreds of orchAnds and vineyards, and with its fine display liere and there of superiur hablitatlons, and its ingh. strong-looking levee, wore an air of safety and satiefaction. At in- torvals along its dyke could be seen partles wite nessing the sad scenes of destruction upon thy opposite side of the river. aud then looking fn- ward at their own luzuriant fields of grain and grass, thelr sleck, finc #tock, and happy homes, they would retire os the buat ot out of sight, little dreaming that in forty-clehit hours they, tou, would be in the awlul situation of thelr nelghbors o Yolo. Leaving Grand Island the overflow took poasession of both sides, and from this point to Sacramento our steamer strugyled through what scenied to be o vast luland sea. Just bofore resching Sscramento the rain pourcd down in torrents and the wind played tho purt of a hurricance. The rain waa’ ro blindiug, aud the darkness of the cvening so {nky, that our boat was unable at one timo to proceed, and our pilot tied up until the clouds broke a little and the rain temporarily coased. Then wo azain proceeded, and just before reach- ing the wharf at Sacramento we could dis- tinctly see the citizens of the noble city, which lias been swept out of existence by flood and by firo on several oceasions, at workl upon the R+ street levee, which had been serjously broken by the combined violence and destructivencss of wind and sufo. It looked lke a wierd ecene tn sume melodrama, aa the dark abjcets upon the river bank flitted to aud fro _amidst the tastimg of lanterns and torchies, in fthelr noble cffurts to impede the devastating progfess of the dreadful storm. * A fow momeuts before our arrival n bolt of wind and ratu scemed to have been harled from the clonds with Titenle force. Every timber tn our vessel creaked and grosned, and wo could plainly hear tho waves ns they madly lenpt upon and lapped the levee, and sce in tlie veventric shaft of light thrown from a trembied lantern, the fantastic movements of the nocturnal work- ers. Blast after blast of wind cruelly followed ; the rafn descended n olmost blinding and be- wildering sheets ; azonfzed cries came over the angry waters from the thoroughly drenched and ‘worn-out laborers; bells and whistles soundced, either from arriving steamers or from points of observation and alarw; the hurrying toward the breaks In the Restreet leves was belng made by hundreds of volunteers, and there secined a jubllee of terror an despair, At this juncture a steamer struck up a most horrible waltz upon that most fnfernul and unpardonable of all other musical mon. strosities,—tto callone,—the sillioueties cast along the levee looked like moving fantocelnd, and fi seemed to me that a veritable ** Dauce of Death " was rife. ‘The next morning [ visited the leveg, in- spected the breaks, and saw the most o mlllns sigit that I have cver sceu (o my life oceaslone byn floed.
