ton special to the. morning papers says
as an opinion prevails that the bounty
equalization bill, which passed Com.

will cost. the Treasury several hundred
millions of dollars, it is proper to say
that this opinion is based upon the
bill first introduced in the Senate by
Mr.. Wilson, which would have cost
from two hundred to two hundred and
fifty millions. The bill finally adopted
is a compromise between the above
biilgand the one introduced by Mr..
Schenck-the former provided for the
payment of 100 dollars per head to

with a Government bounty of not

Quoted from amount thus to be paid
them-the latter provided for the de-.
duction of local instead of Govern
ment bounties. f-slfa
The bill passed is estimated to cost
seventy-fve to eighty millions, quite
enough, but not so much as stated by
Mr.. Fessenden. NlA i-4h> ~
) The Paymaster says it will take
three years to examine the accounts
of the soldiers, to whom this extra
bounty is due. The amount paid each
year will be about %, 100000 dollars.
2 The clause in, the new bounty bill
awarding to two years soldiers, who

ScaIping the Fenians.

In the Canadian Parliament, a few
nights ago, a proposition to ap pro
pirate 100000 to be placed at the
-dispesaLof the Government for secret
service wasrdebated, and one of the
members thus expressed his opinion
as to the proper use of the money:
Mr.. RymaH thought we might rely
for information on the native Cana
dams residents in the United States.
We had friends wherever the. Fenian
Organization extended, and the men
who were ready to come back to peril
life and limb in defense of their coun-
try, would be likely to give us more
correct information than men who
would pretend to betray their sworn
associates in wickedness. But he
would suggest another idea for the
expenditure of this 100000. He
would add that he looked on these
Fenians as half human hyenas. who
should be hunted down without mer-
ey; and, if the Government would Of
fer our citizen soldiery bounty of
FIVE dollars for every scalp of a Feni-
an brought in, 100000 would be suf-
fcient to exterminate 10000 Fenians.
and after that there would be no more
occasion for secret service money.
-[Cheers and laughter
The appropriation was carried.

State Debt.

In speech delivered at Indianapo-
lis, onSaturday night last, Mr.. New
comb, Union candidate for the Legis-
lature in Marion County, gave the
following facts with regard to the
State debt. We call the attention of
our readers to them. Mr.. Newcomb
said,
In 1916 the State made a compro-
mise with its creditors. The public
debt then amounted to about seven
millions of dollars, of which the
Democratic party paid in fourteen
years the amount of $4,000. While
that party paid only this petty sum. it.
through the State officers it had elect
ed, increased the domestic debt a
million or more of dollars, in the
years 1857 and 1858, by laying hands
upon the school fund and other trust
funds, and expanding them without
authority of law.
When the Republican Legislature
of 1861 assumed control of the State.
it was compelled to- create an addi
tional debt of 100000, to place the
State Government in position to de-
fend our border from INVASION; but
with all the other drains upon the re-
sources of the people, during the pro-
gress of the desperate war which fol-
lowed, there had been paid within
the past five years, on this and the
old funded debt, $2,600,O00. eA
At the late session of the Legisla-
ture an act was passed providing for
the speedy and certain extinction of
the remainder of the State debt, and
if that legislation remains undisturb-
ed, and the old Treasury eaters of the
Democratic party are kept out of pow
err. the debt will be iquidated in a
few years, and that without subject
ing the people to an onefous taxation.
This bill was opposed by nearly the
entire Democratic strength of the
House Of Representatives. They
seemed disposed to let the debt run
indefinitely, although we had already
paid in interest a sum nearly equal to
the principal of the debt. tfy-f,r
