But the gentleman asked, if you pass this bill why no, 90
bdck to the revolution, and grant bounty lands all the non
commissioned officers, musicians and pvates who served
then His colleague (Mr THomPsoS) had answered that
the revolutionary soldiers received pensions But another
swer still cogent, occurred his mind There was
vast difference in the ability and this Government
and at that time then consisted Of thirteen inan, Co
lones, which had long been engaged with the mos
powerful nation earth; composed OF twenty
nine States, rich in all the which constituted the
wealth Of naonch in the possession OF vast public do
manch in the possession and receipt Of from
other sources.
But said the gentleman from Ohio il will not do TO grant
these lands the soldiers who have fought battles be-
perchance the spectators will buy them II seemed
TO him that this most extraordinary conclusion he ar
rived at by gentleman Of the emnence of the gentleman
from Ohio Why, If man owed another debt, would he
he would pay him because he would squardr avay
the money We owed the soldiers who had fought for the
rights enjoy debt of gratitude, aud should we refuse
pay them bounty lands because somebody would cheat be
out OF them The gentleman would kill the soldier with his
kindness II matter the Government whs, the sol
der did with his lands. We might well refuse 10 nav
him his dollars per month because sulr would
sell him shoes at five dollars pair Besides had II never
occurred that there might be guards and projections thrown
around the soldier to protect him from sharpers Such laws
had been passed. and why might they no, be again
Bot said the gentleman, these lands pledged for the
redemption OF the debt This pledge was ssci,v for
the punctual Of the interest but II that debt prnci-
pal and interest, punctualy redeemed when e due

But the gentleman from Ohio remarked slso that this Co
vernment would fall into dsced and had ventud the pre-
dcon that the So o0o 900 customs Of this year wonj no,
be received the year. Bot the gentleman he thought,
had lost bis reputation for prophecy, for ody four short
months snce at the opening Of the session. he had predicted
that the actual receipts for the year would fall some eight or
millions short Of the estimate Of the Secretary Of the rea-
suryS3l, 100000. We had facts which demonstrated the
correctness Secretary for there had already been recev
cd s2s O00 and OF the twelve months ad not We,
expired The gentleman had proved himself not prophet
and be him Mr. b. II be did not rely OF his
prophecies hereafter.

who have served their country as militia m Congress should
pass this b and thereby should say that they would grant
bouns 10 those who served during the Indian wars Of 1892
and l793 and those who served during the last for twelve
SIX months there any gentleman there whe could tell
him why they should go back TO the Of the American
Revolution, when the militia served long longer than
either Of these periods when their services valuable
and when every body knew they paid for the
try not thea able topay Yea, that the Distinguish
ing feature Of those who served during the Of the reyou
ton, whereas all those embraced in the proposition before the
committee have been paid.
Mr.. THOMPSON, Of Mississippi interposed TO explain.
The Why he bad gone back the period Of the
revolution that all the revolutionary soldiers had been
provided for BY PENSIONS and he had desire interfere with
the pension syser..
Mr. vINTON Did the gentleman rom Mississippi mean
that s the sode Of the revolution had received pen
sons The gentleman could not mean that Those only
had received pensions who had been spared and continued
alive down to 1882 All those who died during the first quar-
half century after the revolution had had pensions
they had received neither bounty lands nor money had
their heirs received any Tor their services And there
any services rendered that more valuable than those Of
the American revolution And yet those soldiers the
only troops bad died without receiving any pay and whose
children and grandchildren spread over this wide
land each Of whom bad good claim as many for whom
gentlemen desired make provision by this bin not that he
wished any legislation for them when two generations had
passed away But he asked agan II they adopted this pro-
position could any gentleman rise up and say he would
fuse TO give the bounes to those who served during the
war Of the American revolution
Mr.. MccLERNAND. Does the gentleman affirm that
none Of the States granted bountes Of land their militia
who served in the revolutionary war II so, he mistaken
Virginia and North Carolina particularly provided for
their militia in liberal and muni6cent manner These
states granted bounes of land their revolutionary soldiers
Connecticut reserved large quantity Of land which she pre-
ferred 70 apply for the support Of schools SO the gentleman
is mistaken.
Mr.. vfNToN Some Of those States nigh, have given
bounties 10 their troops but that did not affect the
bs ss making Where did the larger proportion Of troops
core fron during the war Of the revolution From New
Engl.nd New York and Pennsylvania and he undertook

assured him that the grants under this amendment would
amount 70 hfy-one millions Of acres.
Mr. McCLERNAND here interposed, and, the floor being
yielded him for explanation observe thst the gen
teman who made that statemcnt.was mistaken. Mr.. McC
held IN bis hand official report which gave the total
Der Of the militia who served during the last They
given by classes and the total number amounted to So s97
and the and at this estimate would amount but TO g. 900
Mr. McC. felt confident that this estimate very nearly
correct.
Mr. EMBREE said that II the amendment should become
law only one6fcth part Of the public lands surveyed
would go TO the soldiers for whom these bountes were pro-
Mr. VINT0N resuning, said that was perfectly imma-
eiai TO him which statement right Begin TO grant
bountes on the principle Of this amendment and you could
not stop short OF every who had served IN the revolution
and IN the last war with Great Britain and In the Black Hawk
war; and those who had served upon the Adopt
the principle and there end Of this branch Of the
revenue
but Iuner could Congress adopt the proposed measure
without violation Of the national faith When we made
the late loan OF twenty Millions the Government pledged
to the public creditor these very lands his security He
knew that had been said that In this he mistaken that
the pledge made BY the Government covered only the actual
sales Of the public lands.
Mr.. MccLERNAND. Under the ordinary administration

Mr. ViNTON. Yes under the ordinary administration
Of our land system But what this ordinary sdminsra

It's lands under certain provisions law, perfectly well known
