The soldiers. Bounty Bill.

The following is synopsis ofthis bill, sent
specially TO the Cincinnati Commercial, on
Saturday. The bill passed by a vote Of 1886
to 2; and, although, in view of this next to
unanimity in the House, it is considered
quite problematical, at Washington

If fpassed, involve an immediate appropri-
alton of not less than TWO HUNDRED MIL
LIONS OF DOLLARS from the Treasury
pressure, it is assumed, too heavy for our
national finances to sustain:
1t provides, In brief, that to every soldier
sailor or marine who has been, or may be
honorably discharged from service, there
shall be allowed eight and one-third dol
lars per month, or at the rate Of one humid
red dollars per year, for all the time which
they served between April IL 1861, and
April 10, 1855; and in case they have been
discharged from the service on account OF
wounds received In battle, or while engaged
In the line of duty, the said allowance to be
computed and paid up to the end of the
term of service for which the enlistment
was made. In case of the death OF
any while in the service, or In case
of death after discharge, and before
the end of the term of enlistment.
wounded, the allowance and payment shall
be made TO his widow. if she has not been
remarked; or ifthere be no widow, then to
the minor child or children of the deceased,
who may be under sixteen years of age. In
computing and ascertaining the bounty to
be paid, there shall be deducted thercfrom
all bounties already paid, or payable, under
existing laws, by the United States, or by
any State, county, city, town, or other mu-
nicipal organization, or by any voluntary
association, so that in no case shall the ag-
gregate amount of bounty allowed and paid
from all sources exceed eight and one third
dollars for each and every month of actual
service, or Mt the rate OF one hundred dol
lars per year. No bounty is to be paid to
any substitute, or to any soldier discharged
ON the ground of being minor, or to any
rebel deserter who enlisted In the United
States army. No assignments or transfers
of bounties are to be permitted.

The Stanton ShirlS.

STANTON, in his serenade speech, the 9TH
er night, tried his capacity In way new
to himself-totally out of character with
his dogmatical antecedents; and, he will
no doubt, find, as the Philadelphia Age tells
him, that its success is doubtful" AN
DREW JOHNSON is not the man we take him
to be If he tolerates long, at his elbow and
In his council chamber, man who can
render him only such halting and divided
support as this. THADDEUs STEVENS is toe
ruthless foe to be satisfied with fair words
from an ally who is content to eat the bread
ofhis enemy and lodge in his camp. Hence
this last and labored effort of Mr.. STANToN's
to perform the venerable feat of riding two
horses in the political ring, will, likely, in
stead ofleaving him with a seat on the back
of either, result in his being trampled un-
der the hoofs of both.

The Platform.

OF the brief but ample and expressive
resolutions which constitute the platform
of the Ohio Democracy, adopted at the
late Convention, the Chicago Times, ex-
pressing admiration of their positiveness
says:
There is nothing equivocal about them
and In this as well as in the opinions and
intentions expressed, they are Democratic,
They do not pledge the party TO grudg-
Ing, evasive, halfway support of the Presf-
dents policy of restoration. but TO a full,
hearty and decided one. There Ia no com
mendation of Congress about them. There
is no attempt to ride two horses. The
Democracy of Ohio are not, like Mr.. Sew
ard, hopeful of the Abolition party and OF
Congress, as well as of the President and
of the Democratic party. Ohio Democrats
are of a sanguine temperament, but they
do not see any signs of Unlonism among
Abolitlonists In or out of Congress. Ohio
Democrats are for the President and against
Congress, and Ohio Abolitionists will be
compelled TO declare plainly who they sup
port. ANDY johnson, the tailor,p has
done many good and eminent things, but
he has done nothing better than to put the
Abolition party into such position that it
can no longer indulge In thimble-rig. Il
Is now the business of the Democracy to
keep II In that position.

"Permitting Nuisance. 1"

Before the Police Court in Cincinnati, on
last saturday. were forty-one cases, and
among the several oflenses charged against
these forty persons, was one of per
mitting nuisance" against BENJAMIN
EGGLEsToN! Now, we are personally ac-
quainted and personally friendly with BEN.
EdGLEsroN. lie is clever, good -natured,
urbane gentleman; however inconsistent
those features of character may be, when
associated with also being an extreme rad
ical Republican member of Congress. But
it is so, although it may possibly be an
isolated case.
Well, BEN. Is charged in Court-the Po-
lice Court!-with permitting nuisdnce"
What in the world can that be? WHAT
"nulsance?' For permitting himself to
keep his seat In the House of Representa-
tives at Washingtonp Or, for siding with
SUMNER and STEVENS and GREELEY and
GARRISON, WADE and SHELLABARGER and
their ilk in their Internal insanities? Or,
for permitting ANDY JOHNSON to turn such
patriots as SPooNER and FosDICK out of fat
offices at Cincinnati? Or, for permitting
poor GADDIs to gnaw little while at the
Pension Agency bonep Or, for not per-
mitting himself to make a speech In Con-
gress in support of the Presidents recon-
struction policy, and by his jealous coop
Grafton with the conservative power of the
country, restore peace and harmony
Which is it--what is 1t?
Ahl Here is what 1t is, If Washington
correspondent of 'that Copperhead sheet, y
the Cincinnati Enquirer, is not absolutely
libelIous. Quoth he, May "a:
The Congressman from Cincinnati,
Messrs. Eggleston and Hayes, do not even
call on the President. They are of no
earthly account to any friend so far as the
retention or the obtaining of Office is con-
cerned. They are really poor sticks, the
poorest ever sent from any part OF the
State. Do you know that Congress is a
wonderful place for n man sent there TO find
his true level? Three months service will
settle the question whether they are game
birds or cat-birds. This Congressional
opinion has decided your two Cincinnati
representatives to be cat-birds. They are
of little account in the House, and none at
all with the President. A gentleman of
refinement, culture and sense can differ
with the President and still be on courteous
and gentlemanly terms with him, especial
ly when being of the same party. and may
by their courteous and gentlemanly bear
ing obtain favors from the President for
their friends. No one, desiring TO retain
Office or get one, think of the two repre-
sentativcs here from Cincinnati to help
them. Both think too much of Thad. Ste
vens and the negro to get out of their mar
row shells and do any good for white
friend at home"
This, then, explains it, but the Police
Court procedure is all wrong EGGLEsToN's 8
constituents are the indctable party for
permitting nuisdnce"-permitting BEN in
the first place, to go to Congress, in the
second, for permitting him to remain in a
position where he is "of no earthly ac-
count''-where his love for old THAD. and
Sambo forbid him to 'do any good for a
