Mu. Hewitt's Mexican pension bill ex- eludes soldiers drawing pensions on aceouat of disabilities received the Union army, but there is nothing said about ex- a chiding soldiers who served in another fci army at game I Fkom Clarksburg comes the cheering 1 news that the railroad from there to the jj Pennsylvania lino will be built within eighteen inootls. A splendid territory awaits the coming of that road. West ginia offers a wide Held for development, and capital is beginning to find it out. i A cokiiKsi'osdust sends an interesting pxge of war history, showing how, amid the smoke of buttle, bo to speak, certain eminent gentlemen hereabouts were "read out of the party." 15ut that is all over, aud ihese things are worth remembering only jl as matters of history.

At this day the.reto- lutions of the secession convention cut a 1 droll figure. A This monumental cheek of Mr. G. P. IB Huutington is something wonderlul.

The i H5 publication of hi3 recent letters concerning Senators and members of Congress appears Iimuei iu mm man otnerwise, anil now-he baa llie audacity to camp in Wash- iugton for tlie winter campaign to pursue tiia Kchemea by the aame old methodB. Mr. Huntington ought to aub3ide, but only i force will make bim do ao. Whene'er Mr. Holuian lakea his walka abroad and Beea Government clerka prom- enadicg the avenue in coacbmen'a coats and toothpick c.inea he "objects." And i now he is bound to begin at the bottom and 'reform upwards.

Mr. Ilolinan wes until recently the Presidential candi- of the New York Sun. He is a nice roan, but he doean'c weigh two hundred and iiity pounds.

That ia just what Urazil did in the matter of.

Wo have seen liow it works na applied to cigars. I In teu mouths of 1SSIJ, ending Novcm- 1 ber 1, Bteel raila to the value of $1,029,257 imported.

In the corresponding period of 1SS2 the value wna more thau four times His great. In the inonth of October, the value of ira- 8 ported Bteel rails waB against 1 227 in October of 18S2, or seven times the A'rtlue. This will account in part for the deprcfision in tlie Euglieh Bteel rail indua- try, and for the evident desire on the other Bide for a further reduction of the tariff a that atauds in the way of an American f' market for English raila. With American raila selliuv: at $31(2i'J4 50 English rails at prices have not much chance. In the Anglo-American Times of London, date'of December 14, is a lengthy article entitled "West Virginia, and Combined Action to Secure Credit" In this pro- Auction we detect the flue Italian hand of Tax Commissioner Mason.

The article reads liko a leaf out of an opera boutle libretto. We read far example, that "West Virginia desires a Special Coinmuaion to j( settle between her and the old parent It is true her case needs 1- special investigation; but what we couteud (or a General Commission; having in hand the adjustment of all out- standing obligations." West Virginians kaow that West Virginia dovsn't desire t) anything of the kind. In fact "West Virginia ia not bothering herself about 0 Virginia's West Virginia certificates. It isn't our debt and her ure not creditors. Wotriod mat- 8 tor to a settlement when it was much newer, but Virgmia wanted no then and wants nouo now.

Ab soon as there shall have beon a settlement the lifteen millions with interest which she 0 waa good enough to apportion to'us be- come duo. Sho knows that we will pay any tuchsum, and sho would in ior the diJIereneo between any suii might pay and Uie face value of tilt cer- titicateB. Except the Wall street syndicate, of 1 which Mr. Mason is the agent, nobody is 8 exercised about tho so-called West jj giuia certificates. Tho Anglo-Americin 5 Timet is iu error when it supposes that otr 8 credit ta hurt by thoso certificates.

State is not iu tho market asking credit, ami-will not be. Neither is it truo thit our inter-State debtquestiou has evor been a bar to our capitalist holds this Stato "liable, bonds dealt in" know that the (h'shonored are not oura. West Virginia is willing to pay her i ablo proportion;" whatever that may be, of the debt of tho old Virginia doesn't desire that proportion determined, i Mr. Mason seems to be going a long way i from home to work his Wall atreet scheme. The pressure of English opinion will not pry open tho pockets our Ux-payere.

To the latter ji ommittee is assigned tho duty of wiping (J ut tho legal distinction which now exists 1 pension claimants who were loyal 01 the Union aiiJ those who were disloyal, nd which prevents the payment of pen- jV ions to the latter.

The committoe is also xpected to report favorably, at an early r' lay, a bill to pension all survivors of the var with Mexico and the Florida, Creek nd Black Hawk Indian ware, who served Durteen days or more, and tiie surviving ridowaof aoldieraof those wars, and tore- tore to the pension rolls all living ioners of the war of 1812 whose namea JJ' fere stricken therefrom because they took arms against the Government. Mil, W. IIKWITr's 111LL. Half a dozen bills on the subject have Iready been offered, five of them by iouthern men. One of them is by Mr.

fG lewitt, of AUbama, who is chairman of he Pene'ions Committee. It Rives $8 a aonth to all surviving officers and enlisted nen, including militia and volunteers, of he military aud naval service, who served ixly days in tiie Mexican war or thirty ti lays in theCreek, Florida or Black Hawk bi rar. The same amount is to be given to he widowi of soldiers of those wars who lave not remarried. But il a man who J1 erved in toe Mexican war was afterward a 11 oldier in the army, and in receipt J1 if a pension on that account, he cannot injoy the benefits of the proposed act. ej Service in the rebel army, however, does al lot bar hU claim.

The bill repeals section 1,710 of tie revised etatutes, forbids tie payment of pensions who C1 vefe disloyal, but it contains a provision yj vhicb excludes from its benefits all per- CI ona who are under the disabilities 01 id bjr the fourteenth amendment to the yonatitution. This ie, of course, designed cut eil'Jttftrdon Davis, and it will affect tobody t.ee. OTIIER AND SIMILAR BILLS. Another bill, by Mr. Reagan, of Texas, lontaina identical provisions, except the me last mentioned.

It was hardly to be ixpected that the ex-Poatmaster General if the Southern Confederacy would be wiling to exclude hia former chief from the of the proposed measure. The pi clTcred by Mr. Dibble, of South Caro- ii aa iw IUU uuitJ if service and applies only to soldiers of be Mexican war and docs not exclude al 'elferaon Davis. The one introduced by ylr. Throckmorton, of Texas, requires sixty gi lays of service in tbe Mexican, Florida or ol JIack Hawk war, and excludes persons di mder political disabilities.

The bill offer- sr id by Mr. Lamb, of Indiana, requires four- een days' service and applies to the Mexi- tl war. It also provided for' tbe restora- ion to the rolls of all pensioners of the whose names were stricken herefrom on account of disloyalty, but ex- si from its benefits persons under li lolitical disabilities. In ISTy a Democratic Pension Commit- di ee in tlio House loaded down a bill for the ieatnloi disabled veterans of the Union irmy with provisions like tnese contained A3 thebillfl described, and stubbornly re? tl used to allow the propositions to ba sepaated. It required a two-thirds vote to oJ I ink tie committee.

Afterward.the Mex- is can pension was attached by a Senate a3 a "rider" to a bill 8pproiriaticg money to pay Union pensioners, jut a timely motion to reconsider, made Senator'Windom, was carried by a ma- ority of one vote, and after a bitter and ixcitinjr debate tbe "rider" was linally de- eated. P' WHAT IT WII.L COST. Several estimates have been made ol the unouut which would be drawn frsm the tt if these bills were to become laws, tl )ne of these puts tho amount required on CI ccountof the Mexican war alone at $47,00,000. This estimate, however, came rom the same authority which figured the robible demands of the arrearages of pen- ions act at $30,000,000, or less than one- ourtli oi the amount which will actually ie required, even should the privileges of hat act not be extended, aa now proposed.

Tho bills now ropoeed would add at least 50,000 pen- 18 loners to the rolls, and cost the Treasury 100,000,000 in the end, according to careil estimates by Representative Browne nd who have investigated the sub- ai 1 ilK FEHHIOS 1AHT. lie IHVct or (bn Hubllrntlou on tlic Feublou Illiniums.
