It fy very natural that a Demo- cratle Congress, controlled bya caucus which the ex-Confederates dominate, should bo averse to granting pensions to Union sol- dlers, The same spirit would goyorn in this case that prompted tho Democratic Congress totake tho first opportunity to oust Union soldiers from Congressional employment and substitute men who hind no other clalm upon Government favor than Is Incident to an un- successful effort to destroy the Government. Tho Democrats are using Gon, Hancock's name and his connectlon with the regular army to entch the yotes of Union soldiers. ‘They have been putting forth special efforta in this direction at the North, But actions speak louder than words. Wado Hampton fires the Southern hearts by telling thom that the Democracy fy now fighting for “ the gaine principles for which Leo and Jackson fought four years.” A Democratic Congress. man from Pennsylvania writes ton frend and constituent that a “Rebel General at the hey! ofthe Pension Committes In tho Senate,” supported by n Democratle majority in both Houses of Congress, Is able to dofeat the claling of Union soldiers upon the geatl- tude of thelr country, ‘Theso aro the facts that confront tho men who fought in tho Union army as volunteers. and patriots, ‘They must affect all Union soldiors alike, whether. they wero Ite- publleans or Democrats when thoy went into the War.

The Now York Sunt has a rare apprecin- tlon of povtic sentiment, but its proverbint devotion to truth causes it to throw a mattur- of-fact light tpon all things, att reduce even vorso to the relonticss aceuracy of tho photograph. ‘This characteristic inclination of the Sun (“which shines, for ofl) hae Induced It to question the fiuthorship of Buino exqulsit veracs. which reeuntly p> peured In the columns of Lie Trnune, and were necredited tu the Hon. John Kelly, the famous Tammany Chieftain ot New York, ‘Tho Sun reprints the touching lnes in ques- tion, and commmonts upon them as follows: In Tz CHicago Turntxe we frequently find Yoreosuf morit attributed to nuthors in whoso works wo do not remembor svor to hnye acon such vorscs; and the suspicion ariaos that the Authorship is not correctly given by our ose teemoil contemporary, For instaneo, In a Into impression of that Journal wo discovor tho sub. dulned Ines: Klsa no, swoothenrt, the epring ls horo, And fuove ined of yonand inph ot Sho binobults Geckon oxoh passlut Leos ‘ho wildwood Inugin to thy flowerod years ‘hore ts no bird in Leake of beler Hat to his Hetla mate sitize to, ine iG, aWeotteart, tho spring is hoke, Ant Love ts lord of you and ing." According to ‘Tne TainuNT, those vorses are tho produution of no teas u person than tho Hon, John Kelly, Controller of Now York City, At any rate, that ia tho name which our cotenpo- rity slans tothem, Now, wedu not know that* Mr. Kelly { not pact, but puesy is not ono of tho qualitics which are usualy uterlbuted to bin. elthor by lls fricnits or his fos, Morcover, thoro fs 0 laxity of sontimont in tholr utteranes whieh wo ounnot think proveeds from such o pon ashig, Mr. Kelty ian married man, and we do not think that ho would nddress to any one such a sentimental phrasd as, * Kiss ino, aweethearc.” We conclude, thon, that our contemporary has been imposed upon, and that tho verses were renlly not written by Mr, Kelly, but by somo other author. It may be conceded to the well-known truth-loving ehnracter of the Sun that: its renions for supposing that tho Ion. John Kelly did not write the charming verses it quotes aro plausible, But the Sut construes poetry In too literal a sense, and falls to make + proper allowance for the leenso taken by the Aon, John Kelly and othor eelebrated poots who revel in the dlyine afllatus. Tho Sun will readily undorstand how tho Hon. John Kelly cottd have written the fascinating verses in question when we suggest that they are metaphorical, It fs undoubtedly true that a man of Mr. Kelly's high moral char- acter, being married, would not address such tender nut erotic language to a mistress; nor would ‘Tne Trinune fn such caso have been tempted to print even such taro and lovely verses as tho above, But It will bo understood that both the Hon. John Kelly and Tim Tnimuxe are te be acquitted of any Immoral purpose when we reveal to the Now York Sun that these ‘affectionate and boautiful lines wero ad- dressod to. the Irving Hall Democracy, and sent forth as a harbinger of future pence and goud will in the snorud cause of Democratic harmony. Recent events in Now York prove that tho delightful verses written by Mr, Kelly had tho desired cffect; they went to tho hearts of the warring factiongand brought about that firm and lasting attachment which now exists betweon the Tammany people and the Irving Intl people. Wo layo undorstood that the expression * Kiss me, sweetheart” so orlginal,so poctle, so irresistiblo—was especially Intended by the fon, Mtr, Kelly for Mr, Samuel J, ‘Tildon, If thero bo really a"‘laxity of sontimont” In tho expresston, tho reconcilfation of thesa two noble brothers will fully excuse It. é mK ———— THE RUSSIAN UKASE. Tho Tussinn ukase recently issued, to which reference has already been made ln our foreign dispatches, is a curious flystra- tlon of the Russian method of whipping tho Doyil round tho stump. Upon the surface It would seom that the Sttpreme Commission, created Inst spring whon the Nihilists were So rampant, and tho military dictatorship and absolute power Invested in Gen, Mellicoif by its nuthority, were abolished, wherens both are substantially retalned under new forms and with new names, Ger. Molikoff still re- tains his authority, though he no longer ap- pears 8 a dictator, and wields preelsely tho aime power, the difference being that tho regular Inws of tho Emptre are lis means of enforcement Instead of the decrees of tho Supreme Executive Comnission, ‘The first order In tho ukase suppresses the Supreme Commission and transfers all its business to the Sinistry of tho Interior, but Gen, Mollkof ts also transforred to the Mhu- istry ag tts Chief, Io still setalns full au- thority in all State offenses, has tha right to call in the members of tho recent Commission for consultation whenever he chooses, and all the authorities of the Empire haye to ro- port to him in the samo manner as when he was at tho hend of the Commission, Not only this, but his powers linve been inereased, ‘The Russian press and people look upon this asa great reform, but, If he wore a dietator at the head of the Supreme Commission, it is diMeult to undenitand why ho Is not still dictator, though at tho head of another body, since ho not only retains all hisold authority, but has had his powors increased, ‘Tho Lon- (lon dynes? correspondent at St. Petorsburg, in speaking of fils administration of the Comuilssion, gives hin high praise, It says: Bvorybody herv rouuinizcy the wiadom, zeat, and tact of Gon.

Perhaps {4 no Congressional district In ittnols are the party Jines so Ughtly drawn ag In the Tenth, over on thu aslisslsstppl River, As a just compliment to him for a splendid Cougresstonal record, the Republic- aug have again nominated tho Hon, B. I Marsh. In 1870 he recelved ‘14,254 votes, and & majority of 766 over J. H. Hungate, tho Demoeratle candidate. In 1878 Mr. Marsh had both a Democratic and a Greenback op: ponent, and the district was In this triangular fight contested ag it never was bofore, His total vote was 11,814, m loss from 1870 of 2438, But Delos Phelps, his Democratic op- ponent, also lost 2,258, The total vote of the district in 1876 was 27,809, but the total vote in 1978 was only 26,514, a loss of 1,531, ‘Tho reat reason, however, for tho loss of 2,438 votes by Marsh and the loss of 2,258 by Phelps was In thecandldacy of A.J. Streeter, tho Greenback apostle. The district is pure- ly an agricultural one, and along tha Misstg- sippl River bottoms fs sparsely settled, and with a careless and indifferentelnss, Among these people Streeter did his missionary work, and no one cin deny him the posses- sion of eloquence, enthusiasm, and 9 inultl- iudinous array of figures ns to bonds, bond- hotders, compound and simple interest, ate. When the votes were counted Streeter had tho grand aggregate of 8,408, and It Is safe to assuine that theso were equally drawn from Marah and Pholps, . Buta difforent condition of affalrs oxists In that district to-day. ‘This eloquent old sophist Strecter Is the Greenback candidate for Governor, He 1s making an active enn- ‘yass, not with any expectation of belng clevt- ed, butof segregating that elomont for future use. While a portion of his friends have united with the Democrats and nominated Robert Molloway for’ Congress, Streéter must of necessity repudiate the coalition, Enthu- sinst that he fs, he Isnot a demagog, and there fs hardly a possibility that he will allow the 8,496 men who supported him in 1878 naw to be dragged over into the Democratic camp. “te And ono othor reason obtains for tho be- Itof that Mr. Marah will got his old-time ma- jority, and that fs the odious pollileal record of Bob Holloway, By referenco to. the Ad- jutant-Gencral’s report, It Is found that tho Countles of Mercer, Henderson, McDon- ough, Warren, Schuyler, and Hancock wore prompt in responding to the call for yolun- teors, filling thelr quota nt once, and then sent an overplus over to joln Missourl regl- ments. But while theso men wore away from homo fighting for tho Unton, Bob Hol- lowny and Henry Ulny Ded wero ralng through tho Mississlppi River bottoms organ- izing the Kuights of the Golden Circle. It can hardly bo expected that any Democratic ex-soldier—and there are hundreds of thom there now—will give his vote for Holloway, And, while Air. Marsh will not retax jis exortions, it Is certutu that ho will bo elected. ene THE WESTERN INDIANA RAILROAD OASE, The decision of tho Supreme Court In the ensoot tho Western Indiana Railroad Come, pany is anothor warning against hasty and inconsiderate netion by the Clty Councll, ‘Tho Council passed an ordinance achnitting tho Chicago & Western Indiana Rattroad Company to lay its tracks and bring {ts trains Into the South Division, between Thitdand Fourth avenues, as far north as Von Buren street, ‘lho Mayor votoud this ordinance, but tho Councli passed It over tho veto, Subsequently the Appellate Court do- clared the ordinance to be void because of yarlous gross Imperfections in form and sub- stance. ‘Lhereupon a enge was prepared embracing all tha polnts, which was taken to the Supromo Court, * In tho meantimo the Company conelnded that it did not want al) that this ordinance granted, so It mace application for a new and inodified ordinance, which the Clty Council passed,and which tho Mayor yetood, and which the Counell falled to pass over the veto, Ponding a third appllention comos this unexpected deelsion by tho Supromo Court which afirms tho legailty of the frat ordinance and places matters back whore thoy wore in tho beginning. It is underatood that tho Company at this time does not want to bring its road north of ‘welfth street, while tho ordinance provides for a depot building on Van Buren street. ‘The popular objection to bringing tho road north of Lwelfth street continues as strong AS OVOr;. Company finds that to purehase the land so far north of ‘Twelfth atreot lg a costly matter and unnecessary, Under these clretimstanecs, the law Governing tho powers of the Counclt: and the rights of the road belug now clearly deflned by the Supreme Court, it may not bon hope less undertaking to reconcile all these oplns Jona and Interests by the formal consent of all partles to the passage of a new ordinatca to take tho place of the old one, but modified to meet the present wishes‘of ‘the Company 4nd the people.
