TO Discharged Indiana Soldiers: - '# p -
Numerous inquiries having been made at
this ofhce II relation to the sale of soldiers
discharge papers. the following information
and suggestions are published for the .beue-
fit Of whom it may concern go - - AZ
The only object any one can have in put
chasing soldiers discharges il to defraud or
speculate off the'soldiers who may be foolish
enough to sell their papers. 1t is believed tha
congress, probably at its next session. will pass
a law giving to soldiers at least one hundred
and sixty acres of land, and it may be that
an additional bounty in cash will be granted
to veterans and those who received none of
the large local bounties paid to new recruits
under the calls OF last year. Spectators un-
derstand very well that no soldier can receive
hrs land warrant, or any bounty that may be
allowed by congress, unless he can produce
an honorable discharge. They, therefore,
are endeavoriDs TO buy up these papsrs for a
mere song with the view of selling them back
to the persons discharged, or their heirs. ms
soon as the law is passed. of course expecting
to TO make big profit in each case
|. therefore, warn soldiers not to part with
their discharge papers for no consideration
whatever The government has land enoug b
W give yOu c6cu u Ihrm anu o grateful De0-
pie, appreciating your services and sacrifices.
will see TO it that congress does you justice
Those OF you who have fought through the
war without receiving any local b1unties
should certainly &c: as much a. those who
staid back until the war was nearly over and
then joined the army only for money. Re-
member that your discharge papers must be
produced before anything can te secured
from the government. Besides, allow me 20
remind you, your discharges are evidences of
faithful and honorable service to your coun-
try, of which every soldier should feel proud.
1t for no other reason than this you should
keep them. They are ynur title papers to a
nobility prouder and more valuable than
kings or potentates can confer If you lose
these, duplicates cannot be issued, and If you
sell them you will never be able to get them
except at an extravagant cost. Your duty
and your interest IL to carefully keep them

The Milwaukee Netrs told US, several days ago,
some things that the democracy believed; but it
70 rgot tell whether they continue to believe
than s'the experiment of war was faiiure.-Mad-
ison journal. sass vFs o. h9zsTilsb ssi3itEA
When Abrah am Lincoln issued his eman.
cipation proclamation, in January 1868, he
assumed that 1.-The experiment of war;" up
to that time, had proved failure. The proc
lamaaion failed TO end the war, and when
the national democratic Convention met, in
June 1864 it also assumed that 'the expert
ment of war" up to that time had proved q
failure TO restore the Union, and il recon-
mended the trial of a concilatory policy, as a
more effective means to the end. Neither
Mr.. Lincoln nor the democratic national con-
vension assumed anything more than q fact
apparent to every bo1y. The political friends
of Mr.. Lincoln must now admit that "the ex-
pertinent of war" would have ultimately re-
suited in the conquest of the southern states,
had not the emancipation proclamation been
issued. The democracy are equally ready to
admit that ''the experiment of war" ultimat-
ed in the conquest of the southern states,
without the adoption of the policy recon-
ded by themselves. But the democracy are
not prepared to admit that the conquest of
southern states was the main object to be
| obtained nor do they doubt for a moment
that the policy recommended by them, if
adopted either at the beginning of the war
or during its progress, would have saved the
| country thousands of lives and millions of
money. and would have terminated in the
final restoration of all the states to the I'm
ion. -.
But all this is of the past. 1t has nothing
TO do with the present issues. These present
issues are the issues cow to be determined
by the people at future elections The re-
| publican leaders are now seeking TO iguomin-
ieusiy dodge them. We never doubted the
fidelity of the republican party to the business
| of civil war, so long as they could grow rich
upon the fruits of the unnatural strife, and
defeat their political opponents by the aid OF
martial law. We doubt, however, the fdeli-
ty of that party TO the Union and the constr
tuition and the interests of the people-and
the very fact that the leaders of that party in
this state lack the courage 20 define their
principles proves that the distrust is we'll
founded. Milwaukee Ne,cs Gig 20

folks promise to complete their road to the
Missouri line, thus ultimately securing a rail-
road communication between st. Louis and
st. Paul. A st. Louis paper says, meas
ures are to be taken TO raise money immedi-
stely. and. If successful, the work will be
