to know why Illinois, having: more population than Ohio, had hut 6,000 pensioners, receiving $11,013,000. while Ohio had 102.931

nslouers, receiving ;i7,3:6,". In Indiana kjO.w) was distributed to the concre'sdonnl Harriet, in Ohio $si5.0oo. while In Illinois tut $Co0.fM) was distributed to the district. Hi. attributed this state of affairs to the face that the Pension Office had been made a TlUlcaJ machine by the Republican party. Illinois was certain for the Republican party, while Indiana and Ohio were doubtful. The pension case were settled in the doubtful StaU-s. while 'those from the solid States were piKeon-holed. ' Mr. Marsh explained this discrimination by pointing1 out that in Kansas, which sent but fifteen regiments Into the fild, there were 42" pensioners. The old soldier from Illinois had moved West to Kansas and Other States. Mr. O'Xell. who was in charge of the bill, closed the debate. No amendments looking to an increase of the appropriation had been suggested, he said. The debate had been largely for political effect. The Republicans, as they saw the limit of pensions was soon to be reached, realized that their stock in trade would cease when they could no longer stand before the country crying out that they had increased the number of pensions. In concluding, Mr. O'Nlel warned the Republican that they were in a poor business when they saw ft to discredit General Black and Commissioner Jychren in the eyes of the old soldiers. Neither could they discredit the President with the American people. They had absolute faith in his honesty, his pluck and his courage. (Applause.) At 3 o'clock general debate closed, under the agreement reached yesterday, and the bill was read for amendment and debate under the fivexninute rule. Mr. Bingham and Mr. Hopkins offered amendments, which were declared out of order as not being germane, and Mr. Knloe then offered his amendment to amend the act approved Dec. 31, 18UJ, so that it should not be construed to prevent "the temporary withholding of payment to pensioners upon clear and prima facie evidence that their pensions wer3 obtained by forgery, perjury or other actual fraud upon the United States, with a proviso that no pension should be suspended until the thirty days' notice prescrlled In said act have be:n given, and that the cases of suspended pensioners should be given priority upon request of th? pensioner. Mr. Martin, of Indiana, made the point of order against the amendment that it wa3 not germane, and the point was sustained. HENDERSON CRIES "SHAME." Mr. Grosvenor offered an amendment to increase the appropriation for pensions carried by the bill from 1M,000,OjO to $103,000,000, which was defeated without division. General Henderson, of Iowa, who has been 111 for some time, next got the floor. Several weeks a,To he submitted to another amputation or his lln;b. He had been pained beyond measure, he said, to find that upon a theme which ought to Inspire every patriotic heart this House was as divided as if it was a war measure. General Ulack, who deserved every generous word that had been spoken of him, stood h?re with a bouquet of rhetoric for the soldier in one hand and a dagger to strike him to the soul in the other. "Oh. my countrymen," said General Henderson, uddreo.sing the Democratic side, "he who wore stars upon his shoulders in the cause of the Union can do more harm to his eld comrades than all those who fought under the confederate ting. Mark the contrast presented by that other distinguished soldier. General Sicicles (Ueiublican applaus:), who, fearing not tne thunder of the executive or the cruel heel of the patronage, stands for the soldiers with whom he fought. Scars are honorable, but they must not bo used as a cloak from behind which to strike equally honorable men. This debate shill not close without my crying 'Shame! shame! at the soldlsr who sought to discredit his comrades in arms." Mr. Knloe replied to General Henderson, especially as to his strictures on General Black, who was absent, and then, after some further debate by Mr. Springer, Mr. Lacey and others, Mr. Mahon presented his amendment declaring a pension to be a vested right. Mr. O'Nell made the point that the amendment was not germane, changed existing lave and did not reduce expenditures. The point of order was sustained. Mr. Grout offered an amendment to prevent any fee from beinp raid to u member of an examining board unless the board should send to the pension bureau a rating for the degree of disability of thJ applicant and a description of the examination. The Chair ruled it out of order and Mr. Grout appealed from the decision. Th Chair was sustained. Mr. PIckler offered an amendment to make the reports of the examining surgeons open to tne inspection of the attorneyu and applicant. It was agreed to. Mr. Grow offered the last amendment, providing that no pension on account of disability in the service should be less than $12 per month. He made a brief speech, his first since his return to the House, which he left thirty years ago as Speaker. Mr. Crow's remarks bubbled over with patriotism ami glowed with the lire of eloquence. The members listened to his words with close attention, and a burst of applause from both si les of the House greeted its conclusion. The bill was then reported to the House and pass-?d without ill vision. The House then, at 3:13 p. m., adjourned. TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES.

BEGINNING OF THE WAR.

Story of the First Act of Violence as Told by Thomas V. Higginson. Writer in Pittsburg Dispatch. Magna pars fui "I was there myself and saw it" That Insures attention. When the speaker begins after that fashion we all listen. What I have In mind Is an account that I heard Col. Thomas Wcntworth Higginson give the other day of the beginning of the war. He wa3 there himself and saw it, and was, indeed, an actor In it, and a great part "magna pars" thereof. The first act of open violence, long before Sumter was shot at, before John Brown made his famous raid, before the Kansas skirmish, was the effort on the part of certain Abolitionists, of whom Colonel Higginson was one, to free a fugitive slave in Boston. At the battered door of the Statehouse, in an assault upon that venerable building led by Colonel Higginson, in the endeavor to rescue the black man, Anthony Burns, out of the hands of the magistrates, an obscure individual, a constable hurriedly enlisted by the sheriff, was killed. His was the first blood shed in the civil war, in the year 1S3L This was the Incident which I had the privilege of hearing Colonel Higginson in his charming way, describe. It seems that the fugitive slave law of 1S50 found thousands of negroes in Boston who had escaped from their masters and put them in peril of their liberty. The first to be arrested, indeed, a man named Shadrack, was taken out of the hands of the court by a company of twenty black men, who surprised the magistrates and effected their purpose without difficulty. But that could not be done again. When John Simms was tried the next year the doors of the courthouse were guarded with heavy chains, beneath which the judges bent their venerable heads to enter. And the slave, escorted to the wharf by a regiment of militia, was sent back Into bondage. The next to be seize.! was Anthony Burns. Colonel Higginson described the state of mind of the community at that time. Most good people were against slavery. There was a strong and growing Abolitionist spirit. But there were two elements in the situation which made the Abolition people powerless. One was the teaching that was given them by their most eminent men. Garrison believed In nonresistance, and he had many followers. They would die at the stake If it were necessary, but not a finger would they lift in any act of aggression. Horace Mann and Charles Francis Adams hoped for great results from legislation, looked to politics and votes to mend matters. And a great many agreed with them. To these people any act of violence wouid be suicidal, would defeat all their purposes. Only a few prayed for a riot. A few there were who would have resisted even to blood the seizure of a slave on the soil of Massachusetts and his return into the hands of his owner. Some who felt that something ought to be done, and yet held back from violence, proposed to follow the extraditors about the streets, and to look at them with such stern, disapproving and troubled eyes that they would be glad to get out of the town. All manner of absurd plans were considered. The other hindrance was lack of leadership. The Abolitionists were a regiment of captains. Every man was his own leader. Not an individual agreed in anything with his neighbor. The moment it was proposed to do any particular thing there were instant voices to oppose it. Conservatism, Colonel Higginson remarked, has always the ad vantage of organization; reform, especially at the start, has only personal enthusiasm. And he compared the situation to the harnessing of Eskimo dogs, which must be attached to the sled each by his own separate and individual thong; if two are harnessc-d together they proceed to eat each other up. Thus there were no leaders. There was no one man into whose hands the others would give the reins and let him drive. They must all drive. Once they did go so far as to assent to the formation of a committee of seven, but the committee could not agree upon a chairman. And, in any case, as Mr. Higginson wisely remarked, "Nothing can be worse than a bad general, except two good generals." Thus stood men and affairs in Boston when Anthony Burns was brought to court as a fugitive from slavery. What could be done? To the minds of most, the natural thing was a public meeting; for the Abolitionists, even if they would not act, would talk. They hail no hesitation in the use of two edged swords of a verbal sort. And, accordingly, a mass meeting was called in Faneull Hall, with an array of brilliant orators, to debate the slavo bill. And on the night appolntc! the hall was crowded, crowded out Into the middle of the street with xclted people. What was needed was to turn this multitude Into Court square and to rescue Burns by violence. But plainly this would not be done in the mlddb of the meeting. At the end the courthouse, In fear of attacks, would be prudently protected. This was Colonel Hlggrinson's plan: That In th9 midst of a speech a man should start up In the gallery and shout, "A mob of negroes Is assaulting the courthouse." that the meeting should forthwith adjourn; that upon tl arrival of these enthusiastic rein forcen;ents a few stalwarts should take the lead n.id batter In the courthouse door, and that in should pour the great crowd, and out again with Anthony Burns upon their shoulders. The shout was made, the meeting rushed out to the courthouse square, but alas! the crowd came, as the narrator put it, wrong end ?lrst first the boys and the hoodlums, and long after, toiling through the crowd, the men who could be depended upon. The door was battered in and Colonel Higginson and a black man entered, but they entered alone. Alone they met the energetic billies of the constabulary within. And out they came, defeated. One man fired a pistol and killed one of the defenders. But that was the end. There was a vast, excited, dlsorganled crowd, without discipline, without the sense of what to do. But their huge strength was of no avail. In the midst of the confusion and uproar occurred a. characteristic and picturesque incident. Out of the crowd beside the stone steps leading to the bolted door came the venerable form of Bronson Alcott, the transcendentalism who approached Higginson. serenely, as If he were opening a conversation upon Plato or Plotlnus, saying, "Why are we not within ? And turning he ascended the vacant steps, approaching the broken door; a pistol shot was heard from Inside; he hesitated a moment, and then, fronting about, cane In hand, his gray hair shining in the lamplight, down he cam again, placidly as ever the angels ascended and descended. In Jacob's vision, the rounds of the celestial ladder. But the attempt failed. Anthony Burns was sent back into slavery. The instigators V of the Invasion were arrested, tried and acquitted, only tne inspiration oi me example remained. By and by it was found that the defeat was like the repulse at Bunker Hill, better than a victory. At that broken courthouse door, in that rash assault, the civil war began. , TlllCItS OF MEDIUMS. Majilclnn Kellnr Tells How Some of Them Are Performed. Louisville Courier-Journal. Kellar, the magician, expresses contempt of so-called spiritualistic mediums and declares unhesitatingly that they are all frauds. He savs. their phenomena are merely tricks easily explained. The trick of "reading the contents of a folded note" is performed simply by substituting a piece of btank paper for the orlplnal note by a process known to every tyro in sleight of band. "The more difficult task of reading a sealed or sewed envelope and writing Its answer on the outside, which many of the advertising mediums profess to do." said Mr. Kellar, "requires more skill and the aid of chemical. The medium, on receiving the first letter, first cuts the edges with a sharp knife. Its back, upon which the box seals are placed. Is soaked until they become loose. A duplicate envelope of exactly the same size and make as the one containing the note Is secured and the note placed in it. The seals of the original envelope are then softened by the use of alcohol or ether, and then placed upon the new envelope In exactly the same iosltlon as formerly. This is done by punching the holes through the one on the face of the original envelope, which is carefully preserved. A good operator can do the trick in alout an hour, but the mediums usually have several days In which to work It. An impression can be made from a wax seal by placing It upon an anvil, covering it with a soft sheet of lead, then striking the lead a charp blow with a broad-faced steel hammer. This is frequently done by mediums, as it gives them an opportunity to cr.st as many seals from the lead impression as trey see fit. "bout two years ago," he continued, "Mrs Carrie Sawyer created a great excitement in New York. Her rooms on Sixth avenue, near Forty-second street, were crowded by lllevers who attended her seances for the purpose of having thfir departed friends materialized. I attended several of her sittings an 1 noticed that at Just a certain stage of the .ct a rap would come at the outer door. The room was dark, of course, and her manager, Frank Burke, would go to It, and, after unlocking it with a great nourish, would hold a conversation with an Imaginary person on the outside. After saying In a loul voice: 'It's too late, the seance is on; come around to-morrow.' he would slam the door

and turn the key. This gave his son George and Mrs. Sawyer's daughter Delia a chance to crawl to the cabinet on their hands and knees without being seen by the audience. Delia was very scantily clad, and in the semi-darknes3 of the apartment had a very spirit-like appearance. She would come out of the cabinet and Impersonate the dead daughter, sweetheart or sister of some one in the audience, and was recognized and kissed by many a deluded person who was sure he had seen a spirit. "I formerly traveled with William M. Fay, who made a great hit with his illuminated spirit. The woman who took the part of the spirit wore a close-fitting pair of tlshts, which .were covered with phosphorescent oil. Over this she wore a loosefitting Mother Hubbard dress when she went into the cabinet. As soon as the lights were turned out she would drop the dres3 and walk out, every line of her ligure blazing with light. It was enough to make one's hair stand on end. Before the light was turned on she would resume her dress and, of course, none of the audience had the temerity to examine under her garments. "I caught George Burke once very cleverly. I met. him a few moments before the seance was on and noticed that he had been chewing tutti frutti. His breath smelled very strong of it. When the time came for the ghost of Amaroni, the Egyptian, to appear I managed to get close to it and asked a question in the Egyptian languge. It replied 'Oh!' with a grunt, but I got a good whiff of tutti frutti breath. "It's a dangerous business," concluded Mr. Kellar, "for reporters or others to attempt the exposure of materialized spirits. Men who do the spirits act always carry a loaded billy, and if anyone grabs them they don't hesitate to give him a crack on the head. When women do the act they Invariably have a 'bouncer or two ready to 'slug any one who undertakes to expose them." Business Hmburrnssnients. NASHVILLE. March 7.
