How many hare pettioned' There are some no
doubt but out of the million ofmen, how many names
ara stoned TO petitions now before Congressf IL
would be an absurd exaggeraon to suppose that one
tenth Of the whole number have signed such petitions
One.tenth Of One-tenth would be liberal estimate
Who, then presumes to speak for the remaining
ninety.nine hundredths-for the nine hundred
and ninety thousand who have given noman authority
to present them as beggars at the doors OF tne
Capitol We put the question to each one OF thenl
whether they anxious or are willing that tns
country should be saddled with an additional debt OF
5000, 600 in order that they may receive $500
apiece.
Mr. Wilson says truly that the sums paid to the
soldiers were not adequate compensation for the
services rendered and the sacrifices endured. The
pay of the army, not reckoning bounties at ALL was
higher than any army in the history Of the world ever
before receyed; yet we agree it was in no sense an
ADEQUATE compensation. But Mr.. Wilson's argument
has no pertinency unless he means to claim that the
compensation will be made adequate by the donation
of this additional bounty; and to that we cannot
agree. II will be an i'll addition to the fame OF the
nobes army the world ever saw to make its soldiers
the recipients of miserable aims such as this bounty
bill proposes, and then proclaim that the Republic has
completely rewarded its defenders To cast up a
debtor and creditor account between the Government
and the people is to degrade both.
This fourth bill-we believe it is the fourth which
has seen the Lights no whit better than either OF It's
predecessors in respect to its fundamental principles
nor in respect to its details. 1t is not bill to equal
ize bountes and no bill will deserve that title unless
1t takes account of the bounties paid by State and
local authorities So long as the advocates OF the
bounty schemes refuse to do that, they convict the-
selves of false pretenses in the use Of the term equal
ize. They use it because it is plausible term pro-
Tossing to do what it does not; and it is sure token OF
the intrinsic weakness Of this measure that its friends
dare not present it to the public by name which
describes il fairly.

The Hon. WILLIAM WRIGHT, u. S. Senator form
New-Jersey, died yesterday at his residence in New
ark n. j., aged about 40
He was a native of this State but early settled at
Newark, where he long did a large business as
a manufacturer Of saddlery &c, and made goner-
Gus competence In 1913 he was chosen to Congress,
as a boiling Wing candidate, beating (by the help
of the Democrats the Hon. William b. Kinney, the
regular Wing candidate. He was reelected IN lSi5
without opposition. In lsi7 he was the Wing eandl-
date for Governor and beaten by the efforts and votes
of such Wings as resented his boiling into Congress
in 49, He thereupon became alenated from his old
Wing affiliations, and was soon transformed into a
proSavery Democrat of the Camden Amboy stripe,
which he has ever since remained.
In 1883 he was chosen a u. s. Senator to fill a
vacancy; reelected in 1861; aud again in 1868; 50
that his present term would not have expired, had he
lived, till the 18th of March, 1869.
His successor (unt one shall be chosen at the next
session Of the Legislature is to be appointed by Gov.
Marcus l.. Ward and it is nowise probable that the
selection will either be dictated prevented by Mr..
James NJ. Scoyel.
Mr.. Wright was not great statesmen but he was a
generous philosophical, sefmade man, who cherished
10 aumosites and never allowed political differences
to ncite personal alienation if he could help it, Now
that he is gone thousand kindly and grateful asso-
cations will cluster around his memory.

The long announced serenade to the President and
his Cabinet took place last evening in Washington.
full report of the several speeches will be found in
our Geographic columns. The report comes at too
late an hour for any extended comment, but If the
object Of the ovation was to prove that there is 10
want of harmony between the President aud his Min
isters-if anybody doubted it-that result may be
regarded a, attained, with single exception. Secre-
tary Harlan, instead of making speech, wrote let.
ter to the Committee in which be very emphaticaliy
announces that he chooses to be in harmony with the
Republican party.

THE LAST BOUNTY BILL.

The LOBBYIST who has the Bounty bill in charge is
entitled to the credit of engineering it with great
energy aud skill We believe four bills have been IN
troduced or reported in both Houses, and each has
been telegraphed to the New-lork Press. The last,
reported yesterday by Mr.. Wilson from the Scuac
Committee on Military Affairs, is accompanied by an
elaborate and plausible argument in the shape OF
report, which is also supplied to the public in way
that may not be unprecedented, but is certainly
unusual. We do not think any opportunity has been
lost TO press this measure upon the public attention.
But this assiduity and interested aroness suggest
the inquiry, who are the persons taking so much
troubel II is evident here is an organized interest
whose interest is ii Who finds il worth while to en-
poy aud pay experienced agents to keer the breath OF
life in this bounty begging seheme' Ii the prospect
i've benefcaries under the bill have formed society,"
and put their cause into the hands Of professional
lobbyists the fact should be stated. If the claim.
agents aud bounty swindlers, and purchasers Of dis
charge-papers are alone represented in Washington,
we should like TO know that fact also In either case,
Congress aud the public ought to understand what
interest 1t ia that is leagued to push this gigantic rad
upon the Treasury.
We have seen no evidence that any considerable
vi luc WIN Uc HOhHoiiy W w
benefited by the bounty bills desire the passage Of
any such measure. The amount which each will re.
ceive is comparatively triae while the aggregate
which the Treasury will be called upon to pay is
nous. Mr.. Wilson pays just compliment to the
patriotism which these men have manifested. In our
opinion, he might have extended his tribute by adding
that the heroes who have fought bravey to preserve
this Government cannot desire to mpoyerish it, or to
distress its finances by asking at this late day for
bounties Our opinion Of the soldiers of the Republic
is higher than Mr.. Wilson'S who appears at the bar of
the Senate as volunteer advocate in their behalf.
We totally discredit the existence of rapacty which
he assumes as the basis of his appeal We refuse to be-
eve that million OF soldiers are clamorng for couple
of hundred dollars apiece with the knowledge that
that pary sum only be secured to each individual
at the cost to the Nation onot less than Two Hundred
Millions Of Dollars. We call for the evidence that
would convict these battle-scarred veterans of
uety stipend like this. Have they petitioned fox it

THE EnpExos,s SPEECH

OF course, all Europe is discussing the meaning OF
the Emperors speech. The remarkable statement is
made that the famous words which instantaneously
convulsed the money markets of Europe and spread
CONSERVATION among all lovers fpeace, were not at
all spoken at Auxere, but deliberately added to tho
speech whel published in the Moniteur Many ear
witnesses claim not to have heard the words, and as
further argument is adduced that the speech as re-
ported in the local paper Of Auxere does not contain
them In order to give to the speech, as published in
the MOniteur the greatest possible publicity it was
ordered to be placarded in all the towns of the Empire
The general construction put upon the speech in
France, Italy, Germany, and Europe in general, was
that it meant immediate war; One of the semi-oh-
cia papers of the French Government, the Consftu-
honnel was, however instructed to declare that tbs
Emperor merely wished TO call the attention OF the
sgner OF the Treaties of 1915 to the necessity Of their
reformation; and NJ. Drouyn de Lhuys in an almost
apologetical manner assured the ambassadors OF
Russia and England, who called on him for an eIpla-
nation of the singular speech that it was "apure the
oretica discussion of the necessity to reconstruct the
map OF Europe.
The official papers Of Austria are instructed to de-
clare that the words of France are by no means
directed against Austria, and that Austria may yet
succeed in satisfying all the demands of France and
Italy in order then fall upon unaided Prussia, and
punish her in a eondingn manner for the aggressive
movements during the past months.

In the House of Representatives yesterday the act
to continue in force and amend the act establishing
the Freedmens Bureau bill was discussed. The main
feature of the bill was that it continued the Bureau
for two years while the bill vetoed by the President
was indefinite in its Duration An attempt was made
to press the previous question, which was resisted IN
ridiculous speech from Mr.. lie Blond The bill goes
over until to-day. The Tax bill was debated at
length, the paragraph taxing banking deposits e1cit
ing much discussion and being finally rejected by the
House. The Income Tax bill was amended so as to
increase the exemption rate from 5000 per annum to
81 OOO Losses by fire, shpwreck, and in trade, are
to be deducted from the income list. No other bust
ness of Importance was transacted, and the House
adjourned.
