shows the name Of each pensioner in each
| agency, and the amount payable to each one.
Still another new book opened there, tells
the history of each bounty land case That
is, the number of the application, the name
of the person, the date and number Of his
warrant, and the quantity Of land granted
| under it. Heretofore, all such bounty land
information was only to be found in various
memorandum books, as it were.
We apprehend that among the embarrass-
| ments to which the business of the Pension
Bureau has been more or less subjected, is
| want of promptness in verifying the service
OF applicants for bounty land warrants, it not
unfrequentiy happening that one and even
two years intervene between the time at which
such cases are sent to other bureaux and re-
turned for the final action Of the Pension
Office. The business of the Pension Bureau
is now completely cup in all its branches.
Capital Speeches.-Two of the ablest and
most interesting speeches SO far delivered on
the Nebraska question, were made in the
House yesterday by Messrs. Taylor, of Ohio,
and Hester, of Pennsylvania; both, ofcourse,
against the bill. The orations are proverbial
for the moderation Of their sentiments as
northern members. Both eschews ultraisms
of all sorts, and addressed themselves most
effectively to the good sense Of the country,
and to its spirit of patriotism. These two
speeches will be widely read, and are destined
to become standard authority upon the ques-
ton in issue among those sympathising with
them.
