'6or hts succeseftl Efforts to secTe 10 ne
soldiers an equalization Of Bounfies," as the
resolution Of the ScHESCK Convention
roads, that body Of patriots pronounced
him lone Of the purest and ablest states
men Of the nation r'-"deservipg the grau-
tude and support of the people, &c.
Has he done NIL this! Hundreds Of his
soldicr-consttueuts are anxiously delay
lug for an Affirmative answer to this qUere
before they viii indorse such Il f0lsome res
oiutiou, Has the illustrious hero OF Nien-
ma been so diligont and successful in the
soldier cause? WIZ his organ, the Journal
please advise the "boys in biue,r who are
impatieutly waiting.
A Washington special to the Cincinnati
Gazetto, OF Thursday last says;
"Onicers Of tho Paw Department say that
claiaIs for arrears under the Jaw eQualiziug
the bOuntics to soldiers CANNOT POSI-
f. HlY .llE SETTLED UNDER SIN
YEARS, Rs all Tho papers connected with
tke elaine will have to pass through the
various Bureaus of the Treasury aud War
Departments
Musr WAIT SIX YEARS, eh! How many
will staryc, how many will be at their own
funerals, in that interval? But If all of
SCuFNCK's soldier constituents should be
lucky enough to have their claims passed
upon within month or so-has the sol
diers' friend. the Aforesaid 'purest and
ablest statesman" got tie money ready for
6e,af That's another interesting ques-
t'on-rcry! The Washington correspond
rut Of the New York Times (Republican)
"says that though the bounty bill passed,
no appropriation tods made 20 pay these
toURties, dRd none can be paid til The Rext
session, when the law can be repealed or
amended, as may seem best. What do the
soldiers say 10 getting a shadow without
any substance
Here, then. is an illustration of SCHENCK's
zeal in representing and promoting the
local iateresfs Of his constituents rs his
nominating friends expressed it!
II the boys in blue had have been distin-
gushed by tho same zeal" in rallying TO
tho several calls for more troops, to aid in
Nppressing the rebellion, that General
RoBSRT g SeBSNCK has, in striving, with
such earnest and persistent efforts" to
secure them their petty bounty the Confed-
eracy would long since have been recog-
Hized as an established fact, and, it is not a
very foraed supposition, the Yankee States
set off as Il foreign nation or conquered ter
ritor,cB. .
The Convention said of this 'ablest states
man of the natior," 1--WE are proud of the
solid reputation he has established" A
proverb SAYS, pride goeth before destruc-
tion, and naughty spirit before a fall~
How proud the soldiers, too, must be! How
grateful, and with what "zeal' they win
rally through the campaign; travel on the
doUble-Quick; luXuriate on "hdrd tack and
S0ic-beily;r spend their last shinplaster, and
vote early and often, that their gratitude
may not be impeached by the aforesaid
ROBERT and his admiriBg friends.
Now, we would not have it inferred
from this, by any of the boys in blue that
their Representative, because he has not
succeeded, ar,cr such Herculean labors, in
securing them their HUNDRED DOLLARS, or
any APPROPRIATION for it, that lac has been
inactive in other great measures of grave
indiyidual import. He did not wholly fail
in working for the interests and welfare OF
ali tho sollirrs. lie worked all winter for
the great mass, and failed tits true; but he
only worked few minutes for HIS OWN,
and that he got, without any trouble OF
anxiety Of mind But, then, he is a General
aud called FOR FOUR THOUSAND DOL
LAR BONUS, which made magnificent
difference! Who would think of looking
even, ut the puny pittauce OF a rank ana
.dle $lOO bounty, when he can delight his
eyes with the digniiied proportions of o
$4,000 pile!
hi: wnO PRovIDETH NOT FOR HIS own
HoGsEhOLD. IS WORSE THAN AN INFIDEL!
