Petty Frauds on New Jersey Pon- sloners—An Investigation Demanded. While postmasters appointed for political ser- vices rendered, and pension agents ditto, are wont to preach about how inordinately big their love is for those gallant fellows who, during the dark days of the late unfortunate civil strife im this country, threw themselves into the deadly breach for the preservation of the Umion, it would appear that some of these able-bodied, lusty-lunged stipendiaries of the gov- ernment are nothing loath to turning a dishonest penny at the expense of the poor wounded pen. sioners. From facts which came yesterday to the knowledge of @HERALD representative, it seems that for many years past, in some cases as many as | eight and nine years, the brave boys in blue who donate pensions to them, had their paltry pit- tances pared off in the process of transmission from | the United States Treasury to their hands, but by whom 13 not yet definitely known, though some land sharks in the pension offic would seem to be the shavers, In Newark recently, before Judge Hermann hotary public, appeared Charies Ruder, a veteran, who served as private in the Third Rhode isiand regiment, who pro- anced @ certilicate dated “Department of the in- terior, Washington, D.

He, too, was shorn of a portion of his palury pen- sion of $3° per month. His payments have also been made through the Trenton agency. On the certificate of each pensioner is the printed state~ ment in the body of the paper that “no sale, trans- fer or mortgage of any description whatever of the whole or any part of the pension payable im virtue of this certificace {s of any legai or bindin; jorce against either the penstouer or the Unite States.’ The cases above oited are only sampies: of thousands, it 18 believed, It is said that many poor widows of soldiers are victimized and $windled in the same Way.

The Pontiff Defines His Position To- wards the italian Government—His Reasons For Not Being Reconciled. {From the Catholic Review of this Week.) The Atlantic cable, it will be remembered, in- formed the public that on June 17, in reply toan address from the Cardinal Patrizi, Dean of the Sacred College, on the occasion of the twenty- ninth anniversary of his election, the Holy Fatner delivered a power/nl allocution, in which he de- clared that the Italians had made him certain overtures which he rejected, It will be seen in the following translation of that allocution that he rejected these overtures with striking vigor and strength, and that now, as ever, the motto of Pio Nono is non possumus:— As afflictions grow greater, as contradictions and the infernal rage against the Church of Jesus Christ and against the Holy See increase, 80 also there increases in this Sacred College its firmness and constancy in sustaining the rights of the Spouse of Jess Christ and the seat of His Vicar. ‘fhe words spoken by His Eminence, the Cardinat Dean, prove that with the growth of evil there corresponds the growth of your efforts and of your labors to combati.
