Beroog the week eeveral bills with the same conerst Yyject have been introduced into either house. Senator we, of Minnesota, introduced a substitute for Senator ‘win’ bill, entitled “ A bill to aid in the construction of stain railroads w the Pacific, to encourage settlements iwtheir lines, and for other purposes.” And in the House, borne, of Maine, asked jeave to introduce still another 1) for the construction of a Northern, a Southern and a Intral Railroad to the Pacific; but objectira was ma @ ly a crochety member from the West, and the 2 was kept out for the presont. Appearances em to indicate that the friends of a Pacific Railroad if ee able to pass some measure of the kind this ges. few. Ii they cowkd only harmonize on one plan they yuki carry it by a two-titeds vote; but there are so many ¢tional interests clashing in regard to the location of the vate that it 6 doubtful whether the supporters of any » scheme can rally enough to carry it.

Charges of old standing, and frivolous in their nature have also been preferred against the Hon.

It is quite improbable that, after its failure i the case of Judge Watrous, that committee will charge itsel with the comparatively frivolous charges made agains Judge Irwin. . ‘THO? YENSION BILT. The Houge was coneiderably bored last session by a bill, for which Mr, Savage of Tenvedsee was sponsor, propos- ing to grant pensions to the officers and seldiers of the war with Great Britain of 1812, and to those engaged in Indian wars duripg that period. It was wade the order in Committee of the Whole on the State of the Union for the second Tuesday in December, and was taken up and diecussed in committee last Thursday. It bas been demonstrated by the Pension Bureau that in its present sbape the bill would impose on the treasury an andoal tax of eleven millions of dollars; while, with the amepdments that would probably be attached vo it before it became a law, its drain on the weasury would amount to pearer twenty millions a year. How far this estimate is above or below the mark may be inferred from the foiowing piece of information given by the Secretary of the Interior in his last report. ‘On the 7th of June, 1832, forty-nine years after the close of te revolutionary war, * Au act supplementary to the act for the reliet of certain survivil ‘era a of the Revolu- tion” was passed. While that bill was upder consideration, a eomittee of the House of Representatives went tnto au elabo. rate calculation in ordet et then liviog whe were embraced by it# provisions, the neal amount of bp ps Ma wonll require. The conclusion was. ‘that the number of rs who would claim and be entitled to oy be netits was 10,057, and thatthe annual expenditure would f.005. Un this cajoulation the bill wae Fm goed The number of claims filed nnder the law during the year wae excee i about 25,000. ‘The whole number filed u 38, ‘The whole number aamitted was 33,414. yyhole. amount oxpended fox penaions in the your 131 wan $1,281,079 71. In IS33: ft wan $5,100,203 97. The increase caused by the actol June 7, 1882, was, therefore, $5,810,024 26--moze than tour timea as much ag the commie’ estimated tbe bill would reyaire, At was further estimated by the committee that at the end of seven years, fifty-tive years after the war of the Revolution, there would be none sur eivi to receive its benetita. Now, it the whole nomber, 10.007, Which it was euoposed would re- ceive pensions under this Inw bad lived out the seven years, it Would have required $6,385,2% to have met its entire require menis, sccordiug tw the calewation of the committee. But this ‘of course Was not cotielpated, Inasmuch as they expected that tbe whole pumber of beuetclaries would have passed away within the seven years. It is fair, then, to presume that one- halt of Uhis amonn!, $3,176,615. was ail that was expected to be drawn from the tearury under its provisions. Twenty aix years have elapsed since tie passage of that law, and about iwo hundred soldiers are yet ou the rolls, and the gross amount “y aes bathe hdige Fh 3 ™ ‘ebruary 3, 1588, grauting pen- sions wo the widows ot revalutusry aoliare iarriod wb quent to 900, the estimate of the fice wae that $21.40) would be rofficient for the firstyear. That amount, however, was found wholly inadequste, and the additional sain of $200,000 was ugked for an appropriated in the deliciency bill ot he seceed ng session for that prpose. There are other facts on this sulject of curious interest. Fit- ty three years afler the war of the Revolution, 5,000 widows were hving whose wok place prior to 17H. Nearly one bandred of them are yet alive. In 183%, fifty-five years afier the elose of the war, L870 widows were livkig who were married between 1753 and 1784, In 1M, siaty-five years afer the was, 6,142 of the 11,870 were stl alive. The fair inference from this statement is that twenty millions » year would fall below the mark of satisfying this penvion bill if itever became a law; and the necos- sity for the passage of such @ measure at all may be Indged of from « statement made in the House the other day by Mr. Nichols, of Obie, to the effect that out of ninety ix clovmants for whom he procured military land warrants from the in 1850, ninety three of them were in as good and some of them in better circum- elances than he was in himself. The bill is got up by pen- on agents for their own pecumary benefit, and by small fy pobticlans to gain popularity ia their districts. No tinal acLon was taken by the Committee of the Whole upon it, Dut it fe a epecial order till disposed of, aad will come up again whenever the House goes inte Commitioe of th. Whole on the State of the Union.

Hence the courss recofomen ed to our government, and the policy indicated in tho President's Motsacn, to make rome demonstration in behalf of the constitutional miety fm Mexico, It is not propose! to make a wariike domi stration against any party of that republic, but t prevent it being done by others; to exercise a moral force in the owns ee on ite coast by the presence of our vessels of war whetever the flags of Spain or \rance may be seen. ‘Thie is necessary, even for the protection of our commerce and people, and nO exveption could bu taken to such a course, While we shon!d be thns affording the necessary protection to Americans and American commerce, we shoula actually and powerfully support the Mexican peo- pie in eetabiishing a Wbere! government. lis , W20, chat while our vesseks of war may be geen in the Mexican ports of the Gulf now ocoupiel by the liberal party, @ Commissioner should be ¢ nt Ww vnter into preliminary arrangements with the Juarez ami nietration as a basis for future treaty stipulatians, wo be concluded or ratified when the liberal goverament may be firmly eatablished, Such stipulctious should provule for the adjustment of all pending matters or difiteutties between the two républice, and for the establish mt of such a liberal commercial and other intercourse as wouk! boto the advantage of both countries. It is thought to be mpolitic w open a negotiation at present for acquiring territory. There is actually no government in Mewico to treat with, and in the present state of the counts eect dare treat upon the eubjest. It would be antly overthrown. A govern. ment in Mexico must be firmly established indeed before R dare gell any of the ational domain. But what cap be done, and what ought to be done, and what it is likely the adminietrafion purposes to do, is w send an able man as Commissioner to Moxie: First, to adjust claims between the two countri second, to tain the right of way for a raiiroad, inclndmy a beit of land oneach side, of a number of ‘leagues, trom some print on the Rio Grande, through the State of Sonora or Thihuahna, to Guyamas, ov the Gulf of California, and, if necessary, across Lower Calitornia; third, a guaranty of perpetual! right of transit across the Isthmus of Tenuante- Pee; and, fourth, a Hberal commercial treaty and postal convention, which would evabic the United States wo secure the balk of the trade which now Gnde its way to Karope, To obtaining there the advantages would te very creat, both in a commercial and political poimtof view. Tne railroad right of way through Sonora or Caibuahua would ip achort time virtually give to this country the govern: ment of one or of thore State, would catabligh a sta ble government, and would place us in a favorable posi tion for eventually trenting for the formal acquisition of them, if found desirable. Ir the meantime it might be to the interest of both countries for Mexico to ask the friendly uid of the United Statos to protect the coterminous frowtier along tho line of Arizona and Texas against Indians aud juerilia parties. The commercinl statisties of the two countries show that while the total trade between the United Stutas anid Mexico barely amounts to seven millions a year, that of Great Britain is twenty-eight till By & good com. mercial tréaty an amount of the proseut trade with Bu rope might be diverted to give tho United States thiety millions of trade a year, Our soi! and mannfactares pro. duce every article of consumption suited to tne Mexican market, By applying. the epirit of the eighth article of the Gade. den treaty to the stipulations ofa new one, with respect to the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, the United States would at ‘once secure a tual right of transit, and consequently 8 preponderating influence m that partot Mexico, Besides Placing us in enry and rapid communication with our Pacife Staten, the political couseqnences would be as iu portant as the ectnal acquinition of that territory. The effect of such a coneiliatory and friendly policy— such etatesmanlik © seeing and firm policy—on tho part of the United Statos, would not only have tho happiest effects upon Mexico, but would tend to strengthen the ad- ministration, and to divert the public mind, always active, from local and sectional contests. ‘tunity is how before us, and we shonid not neglect it. It will be the virtual conquest of Mexico, net after the manner of Cortez or of General Scout, bat» friendly conquest, planting our priuciples and policy over that rich and magnificent country, aud while apparently giving us the prize, im reality giving the SMoxican people the advantages.
