Saturday .and adopted two important resolutions. The first is as follows: Resolved, That a Sub-Committee of

three be appointed by the Chairman to

investigate and report to the full Com-

mittee: First, how many persons on the

pension rolls; how many original pension

claims are now before the Pension De-

partment; and determine, tbiid.bow many original pensions were acted upon between January 1 1879, and January 1. 1880—how many allowed, and how many rejected; forth, how many clerks are en ployed in the Pension Department, and what length of time per day is employed in the consideration of the claims. This irformation is asked for because of the very evident necessity ol refortu in the business of the pension department. About two hundred and twenty thousand claims are pending in the Pension Office. Twenty thousand calls made upon the Adjutant General of the Army for the records of soldiers remain unanswered Five thousand calls made upon the Sur-geon-General of the Army for the disabilities incurred by Soldiers during the war have not been reached. The claims for which these calls have been made are those which have been examined by the Commissioner of Pensions and can not be

That the material condition of a country is greatly aflected by violent political excitement is shown clearly by a study of the yearly revenues of France. In 1871, when France was freed from German occupation, an increased taxation of (140,000,000 was found necessary to pay the German war fund. Tim first year of the new taxation, the receipts of the government were exactly what they were calculated; the second year, 1873, however, thanks to the improved condition of the country, they exceeded the expected revenues f>y $17,. r >00,000.
