for the year ending June 80, 1865,-
There have been added to the roll of ar-
"f-V pensioners 1716 new names and
:4 1255 have been withdrawn by deaths

ows. 454,588 to lnvalids. There were

362 were paid for the year and 347,944
for arrearnrges.
The navy pension roll contanlns
858 names——65 new ones having been

The Sncannitv or Wan urges an in-
crease of compensation to army officers
and the revision of the law respecting
their allowances; also, that the provis-
ion of the last Congress increasing the
pay of the rank and file be extended to
all enlisted men. He recomeiids an in-
crease of the medical corps, and an ad-
dition of five military store keepers. He
recomiiieiids tlie Judiclous continuance
of sea-coast defenses, and especialy re-
news his suggestion for the defense of
Ship Island to protect the approaches
to New'Orleaiis. He presents also a
neat and forcible argument in favor ol
the Pacific rallroad,asa means of defense
but avoids expressly recommending its
construction by governmental aid, al-
though he distinctly iritiintes a dispbtism
to favor such aid
The report. of the SECRETARY or THE
NAVY recommeiids the construction of6
additional steam sloops of war. lt ex-
presses entire satisfaction with the re-
sult ofthe apprenticeship system and
with the legislation of the last Congress
in behalf of l.he navy. It inalntaiiis the
abolition of corporeal pnuislimenl: and
recoinineiids an increase of the marine
corps and an increase of seamen to 10,
000 men. The secretary sustains the
general action of the naval retiring board
but intimates his readiness to aid in re-
storing any oflicers in special cases who
have been unjustly treated.
Tim POSTMASTER GENERAL suggests
that the franklng privilege be restricted
to public document and letters on public

Electors of Connecticut 1
The call of the American committee is before
you. The Platform of the American party of
Connecticut has heretofore been published to
the world ; the acts of the present administra-
tion have become familiar as household words
to you ; and as the last meeting of the State
Council of the American party of‘ this State
recommended the subordinate councils to hold
all their primary political meetings openly»
and to invite all the friends of the principles
of the American party to co-operate’ with them
in selecting delegates to conventions and can-
didates for o1fice,1et all who are opposed to
the present national Administration now take
their stand 1 The choice is with you. The
question is, Shall the present corrupt admin-
istration be sustuined, or shall Americans and
Freedom be triumphant ? Unite, friends of
America and Freedom, and give such an an-
swer to this question as the honor of Connect-
icut deniands.—Hartford Cnitram.

Editorial correspondence.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4th, 1856,
House of Representatives, 3 P. M.
While we write the House is engaged in
their stereotyped amusement of voting for
Speaker. ' Two ballots have been taken since
12 M. ‘ Banks "lacking seven in each case-
worse than yesterday. The result of the pres-
ent vote we ahall be able to announce before
closing, but there is little prospect of its pro-
ving any ,moi-eieffectlve than its predecessors.
In fact, from the speeches which followed the
first ballot, we can see no prospect of an, elec-
tion for two months to come. I met Greeley
this morning in the Hall, with a couple of en-
thusiastic menibera importuning him to use a
personal effort to secure the strength of his
friends for some new man. “ A majority yield
to an unyielding minority‘? No—not if the
House is not organized for two years,” firmly
responded the stubborn old Trojan. He is
firm in the belief that on no other man can so
much anti-Nebraska strength be concentrated.
He moves about the Halls with the knot of his
cravat under his left ear, the right leg printa-
loon riding his boot strap, the slouched hat
and old white coat, as of yore, shuflling and
limping like a lame dromedary—and yet this
same Horace Greeley exerts more influence in
‘this House than any member ofit. Thus doth
intellect triumph over matter. A novel prop-
ositiou was submitted by Mr. Underwood of
Kentucky, that the House commence at the
top of the alphabetical list and vote for each
member in succession until 9. speaker was cho-
sen. At. the present rate of voting it would
require about four months to go through the
list, and I do not knowbut it might be time
profitably employed. As voting is the “ chief
end” of most politicians, I think the system
might be reduced to a science by that time.-
A good judge of -‘ human nat.ut-,”_(of course a
Ya.nkee,) has submitted a proposition to effect
an organization within three days for the sum
of $10,000 per day, forfeiting $100,000 in case
of a failure. Of course he does not suppose
that “ honorable members” can be bought-of
course not, but then he thinks that even Con-
gressmen are composed of so great. 11. compo-
nent part of human nature. as to be influenced
by substantial arguments, and a proper argu-
ment liberally presented, would induce rt
“ sudden and severe lndisposition” on the part
of enough members to permit the friends of
Mr. Banks to carry his election. A good
proposition, and the country would make mo-
ney by negotiating with the fellcltons “ ope-
rator.” ,
Among th e distinguished gentlemen present
from our own State, I noticed Hon. Colin M.
Ingersoll, ex-Member of Congress from John
Woodruff’s District. Gen. Pratt, of renowned
“ Rocky Hill,” will be here this evening.
The many changes and new pliasis of“ mat-
ters and things” in Washington, I shall note
in my next. Our delegation are all at their
posts, and not a Connecticut vote has yet been
lost upon the right side. ‘ ' '1‘hey form a quad-
ruple team of intelligent, practical, reliable
and uncompromising men, rather largely im-
bued with the Young American sentiments,
and altogether such as our little State may
well feel proud of. although taken as they
were, in the main, from the humble ranks of
labor. But more anon. A. H. B.
P. S.—The 92 ballot has been given—Banks
104; Richardson 73; Fuller 34; Pennington
6. No choice, of course, and the House im-
mediately adjourned.
_ President’s Message.
Contrary to all precedent——l.he President
sent in his Message to the Senate, on Monday
last, preparatory to the organization of Con-
gress. This action on the part of the Execu-
tive has been very severely criticised by sev-
eral Members of the House, and as strongly
defended by others. Taken all in all, it is
rather it curious document and well worth pe-
rusal.

Advance Payments.
Last January, most of the Connecticut pa-
pers adopted the system of advance payments
for subscriptions, and we now find them ex-
pressing tlieir satisfaction, after nearly a year’s
trial. Those are the best pleased who have
been the most thorough. On the other hand
we notice papers which thought it impolitlc to
adopt the advance system last year, have de-
termined to do so now. The Hartford Repub-
lican says : * .'
“ From a full experience, we have come to
the decision that after the firs: of January
we will send no more papers on credit. We
have lost too much money to try the credit
system any longer, and as favoritism will not
do, we shall not send a single paper from the
office unless advance payment has been made.”
The Klllingly Telegraph has also iiulrei-eii
from not requiring advance payment, and ‘in-
tends to reform hereafter, and we presume the
old credit system will soon be done away’ with,
so far as newspapers are concerned. ‘I

Penalties of Bible Burning in
Ireland.
A rather extraordinary charge has been de-
llvcrcd to the Grand Jury in Dublin, by Mr.
Chief Justice Crampton, in relation to the
burning of Bibles, with which one Father Pet-
cherltie, of the order of‘ Rcdeinptorlats. has
been recently accused, in Ireland. The Chief
Justice lays down the law against pr-ofaning
the Bible in stronger terms than were prob-
ably ever employcd by ally English Judge be-
fore. Hc holds :
Fr'rst—And for this he quotes authorities,
that the Christian Religion is part of the law
of England.
Second-—-That the Bible is the foundation
of this religion, and any thing calculated to
bring that volume into ridicule or contempt,
whether it be in English, Latin, Greek or He-
l)1'0W, and whether it be the “ authorized” or
Douay version, is an offence punishable at
common law by line and imprisonment. '
He concluded by charging the jury that, if
they found either of the parties charged, to
have been guilty of participating in the act of
burning the Bibles, with the view of holding
tlic Holy Book up to scorn and contempt, they
shall find a true bill against them, and .-and
them to a petty jury for trial After it short
absence. the Grand Jury returned with indict-
ments against Pctcherlnc and John Hamilton,
and their trials were set down for the follow-
ing Frlilay.

or the F0|'l1ll1'Of. the Eternal City.’ We
have seen some symptoms’ in thepages
of our rising rivals "down East” and in
the precocious West, which leads us to
think that they are growing jealons,snd
it may be, nanseated by over doses of
Broadway. They are beginning to as-
sert. the claims of their own beautiful
Avenues, and spreading thoroughfares,
and to hang tip their daguerreotypes
alongside of our riper beauty, as though
their young and straggling inlnxes could
dispute the palm of beauty with the
belle of the Metropolis. Well,’ they
have their good points, doubtless, and
time will bring them the rich charms of
mature: years, but they havii’t the ever
varying clouds and sunlight, the rare
experiences and commerce of the great
world, the diamonds and laces, and

Death stiilks by the side of_ life and

some event where the band of provi-
dence is stretched out to spare and save
from destruction. Very few who tread
the pave know what dread accident has
preceded their path, bttt a few minutes
before. The crossing of a street is al-
most as perilous as a charge of infantry.
A day of wind and storm brings down a
load of bricks along the street from the
weather beaten chimneys to the side-
walk. The tall flag stafl‘s topple from
their frail fastenings on the crushed
heads of ‘tlionghtless mortals. Answn-
lug blows down and its heavy iron posts
mutilate all who are caught among its
folds. A rain storm suceeedsa heavy
snow, and a mass of solid ice slides’ eve-
ry ininute fr_om_the slated roofs and de-

Horrible Murders in Wootlbridth
A most appalling butchery was per.
petrated by a maniac named Charles
Sanford, in the low of Woodbrldgt-,'~

father of our Secretary of State, resi-

him a blow on the temple with the head
of an axe, which felled him to the

of the axe. The murderer then procee-
ded to the house of Mr. Ichabod Umber-
field, who soon after coming into this
house, found Sanford seated with the
axe and club by-his side, when the latter
arose and struck Mr. U. a blow on the
head with the axe, and deliberately cut.
his throat with the same lllstrllnlrehl.

"ii/hose name is above every name, and
{whose character is pure and holy. There
is a beauty, a sacredness to the Chris-
ilan, inithe Houseof ‘God, which the
man of the _world, cannot understand.
In those courts, we have listened to Je-
;sus', voice, speaking through His appoin-
ted ministers; tho.-re from our earliest
childhood have the prayers, the praises,
the words of counsel, fallen very sweet-
ly on our cars; it was’ there, perhaps,
that we felt, for the first time, a convic-
tion of our utter sinfulness; and there,
it may be, we gave ourselves, our all to
Jesus, and hesrd,hls heavenly, soothing
words, “Son, thy}-.ins are forgiventhce :
go in peace.” How precious have been
the hours passed around the table of our
Saviour's love, cotnniniilng with our
Elder brother, supplng with Him, and
He with us. Yes ! we love the house
of God, its walls are sacred, dear to us;
it directs our thoughts upward, in con-
tem plation of that "House not made of
hands, eternal in the heavens.” "Truly
her servants take pleasure in her stories,
and favor the dust. thereof.” We be-
lieve that Jesus is? peculiarly ' present
there; present, when his people meet
for prayer and praise, and present also
the following week, for -by‘ theater of
consecration we gave it to Him, set it
apart for His worship, and ’tis there He
loves to dwell.
We believe that it is the house of God
on-Monday, as much as on Sunday ; that
those Courts are the Courts of the Lord
and not a Lecture Room or a Music’
Hall, not even for Sacred Concerts. It
is the Christian’-s peculiar home on
earth, and if halls are needed for the
oauseof Education‘- or Music, why, let;
suitable ones be erected, but let the Tern}
ple of God remain a pee ullar place
where He alone is w orshipped. "‘,,*.
