Equalization OF BOunties.

Gen. Wilson, of Mass, Chairman Of the
Senate Committee on military Affairs, has
introduced the following important bill into
the Senate, providing for the equalization
of the bounties Of soldiers:
Be 1t enacted That to each and every
soldier who served in the armies Of the
United States in the late war Of the rebel
lion, and who has been or who may here
after be honorably discharged therefrom,
there shall be paid, except as hereinafter
specified, bounty Of eight and one third
dollars per month for each and every month
Of service rendered.
SEC. 2. Provides that in calculating the
amount of bounty due and to be paid to
each soldier under the provisions Of this
act, deductions shall be made for any and
all payments of bounty made or agreed to
be made by the United States, so that in no
case will any soldier receive o greater sum
in bounty than eight and one-third dollars
for each or any month of service. and no
bounty whatever shall be paid to any sol
dier who has deserted from the service, nor
to any soldier who was prisoner Of war at
tho time OF enlistment, nor to any soldier
who has been discharged at his own request
unles, for the purpose Of accepting promo
ton or appointment in the army or navy,

NEW MAMPsHIREl

The annual election for State officers
took place in New Hampshire on the
18th inst.
The majority for Smyth .(Union- Re-
publican for Governor is over 5000
or nearly 1000 greater than the ma
jority for President Lincoln, in 1864.
The Union majority in the Legislature
is more than two to one. The vote
was very full.
The pseudo Democracy made tire
mendons effort, and hoped by crying
"Johnson! Johnsen" to carry the
State.
The American People will take no
steps backward! They will never sur
render the country into the hands of
the party that stood off and rubbed its
hands glcefully while armed traitors
were assailing its very existence--re-
fusing even "God Speed!' to those
who were trying to save it.
Now let us all do our whole duty at
our local elections in April. New
Hampshire has set us good examI'e

The situation.
[From Harpcr's Weekly !


During tho great debate in which the
country is now engaged it is we'll to remem-
ber that temperance oftone and a careful re-
gard for truth are always powerful allies. -
We have lately had signal illustrations of
the folly of extravagant statements and per-
sonal aspersionS and there can be no more
palpable absur1ity than that those who stood
steadily together against rebellion when re.
bellion was formidable arc now anxious and
plotting to surrender the Government to
rebels defeated and dispraced. Yet these
are charges gravely made against such men
as Charles Sumner on the one hand, and
Andrew johnson on tho other. Now either
or both of these gentlemen may be mistaken
in the policy of reorganization which they
favor, but there is surely no reasonable
ground for believing that they are hostile to
the Union or Government. Their views of
the true course TO pursue may hopelessly
differ, but certainly while their intentions
are beyond suspicion the difference of tn il
views may be discussed without acrimony
The situation Is entirely without precedent,
and denuncation, insinuation, aud fierce
partizanship merely confcund the confusion
and exasperate honcSt differences
Ii is as unjust TO assert that Congress is
hostile to the loyal men at the South az il is
to insist that the President is anxious to
have disloyal men sit in Congress. 1t is as
inac; urate to declare that Congress means to
sustain puuper class Of freedmen at the
expense efthc Government as to argue that
the President intends to hetray the freedmen
leienceless into the hands Of those who hate
them. 1t is as untrue to say that the course
Of Congress violates the Constitution aSthat
the policy of the President ovsrthrows it,
The truth lies between all these extremes,
as may be seen by looking at the last point
We have mentioned If, for instance. il be
alleged. In defense Of what IL called the
Presidents policy. that the war was TO pre-.
vent secession that il was successful. that
secession was therefore prevented, that the
States are now, asboiore, in the Union and
that, consequently, Congress has no consti-
,utionai right TO prohibit their representa-.
ton it is no less trua that IL those States
are in the Union thsy .wero equally SO in
May last, and that the President has no
constitutional right to appoint a Provisional
Governor Of q State in the Union. The
truth is that thsPresiden acted from the
necessity or the case; and that mnst ha the
principle OF action until reorganization IL
complete. Then. and not before. the AN.
thority which is called the war-power oesses.
and the normsl habit Of ths Union Is re.

The editor of the Gazette thinks the
'"Radicals" of this County will need
another organ, as the Gazette has aban-
doned them and gone over to the sup
port of the administration. Had mt
they better revive the Independent Re-
publicanp We think that paper, under
its former editor, would be radical
enough for any of them, from yallan
digham to JEFF. Davis. We think,
however, the starting Of another "radi-
cal" paper in this County, just now,
would be premature, as the Gazette is
not supporting the administration this
week quite as strong as it did last
week. The editor has heard from the
New Hampshire election, and, prob
ably, has had some intimation that
the Pennsylvania Democracy had re-
ceived a slight backset from the Presi-
dent, and that Andy, ("God bless him"
as the Gazette would say) refuses to
allow the Democratic Mayor Of New
Orleans to be installed into Office, be.
cause he is not quite "reconstructed
enough. The Gazette, in view Of
these recent occurrences may conclude
not to transfer its immense influence
over to the administration. And in view
of the wonderful aid and comfort af-
forded the government by the Gazette
during the war, it is difficult to see how
the President can possibly get along
now without its support.

THE Alabama Legislature is dcsirous Of
stopping tho circulation in the State of
Northern periodicals, and especially of
Harper's Weekly, which is too loyal for that
section. 1t has therefore passed a tax law
compelling all news dealers to pay license
of $40 annually. IF, however, they sell at
stores or on cars and steamboats, any paper
or magazine, published outside the limits O.;
the State and not in foreign country, the
license to be paid is $50. This act is evi

the United States, and is much in the spirit
