Justice to tho Veteran.

A spirited veteran, who "knows
what's what" asks the following siguif.
icant question:
"Wos it just to pay one man 500
bounty for three years service, from the
commencement Of the war, and then pay
another man 5000 for one years service
ut the close Of the var? Besides, those
brave men who rcnturcd lifo and limb
on the breaking out Of the war, for the
pal:ry sum Of 500 bounty and Sl3 per
month Of pay, did not receive any local
bounty, which, in some parts Of Ohio
was larger than the Government boun'
IT,"
We aubmit these reflections to the
representatives Of tho people. Ills evil
dent tina: few men can be elected to
Congress, hereafter, who DO not pledge
themselves to secure justice to the vt:e'
rams of the war. They are abroad in the
land, and are power among the people.
We have no plan to propose by which
the bountics and pay eau be equalizod
without making it up with caih and at
an increase of the debt. Gen. Butler
suggested the public lands; but Of what
value are they to tho veteran above what
they are under the Homestead law to
every other citizen, to those VINO get
$3.50 bounty for one years service, as
we'll as those who got ouly 500 bounty
for three years service. The public
lands belong to the whole people for
personal occupancy and use, and Gov.
ernmcnt has no right to bestoH Thorn 10
auy other purpose.
How the General Government is re-
aponsib!e for the local bounties that we're
made up We cannot say. That was the
business Of the local authorities and the
people who wished to procure substi'
tutes. But as far as the United States
haze paid the troops unequaliy, the dif'
ference may be made up, and there is
nothing but cash that can square the
account. We hope the present Congress
will provide for it, and not keep the
veterans, 10 whom We, owe 50 much, IN
susrcnsc.-Ciacinhati Times.

who Shall Educate the Negro?

The Jackson (MississippD Clarion,
takes it for granted that the negro will
DO educated. 1t says that the negro
himself is anxious oDithat subject. They
already have numerous schools which =,
now that Government aid is Withdrawn,
they supper, by private subscription.
These schools are largely attended. and
the scholars show surprising capacity.
The question fnr the South to determine
is. who shall educate: these negroes /?
Shall tho "accro tw1g be bent toward
the Nor,h?' That is the question the
Clarion puts to Mississippi. 1t is Of
opinion that unless Sou:herncrs take
this question Of negro education in
hand, aud provide for them good free
school system and cor!retent teachers,
tho Northern teachers now among them
will inoculatc them with Northern ideas.
and ius;i!l prrjudices into the minds Of
.Ec rising generation agains, the old

efforts will remove. The Clarion adds {:

The President Should Stop Talk
ing.

Tho President keeps talking. We
were in hopes that he exhausted his
stock Of knowledge on the 22d, but it
seems not. Thursday he had two mere
talks-one With the iron men, whom he
told that support Of his reconstruction
policy would be their best protection: by
opening Up a Southern market. We
can sec it, IF the South should drive
out all Northern men after, she Gots
everything into her own fists, VIC cant
sec the good market. for iron in that re.
gion. Whether the South shall be one
month CT two years without representa-
ton can make but little difference with
Inc development other resources, though,
If The General Government should fully
protect Union men and freedmen, there
Kill be far greater prosperity there thaa
if the one should be expelled and the
other robbed and abused.
Then Mr.. Johnson had talk with 8
Coppcrhc.d and Rebel delegation from
Baltimore; saying that his course was
fixed, that he would turn neither TO tho
right nor to the left. lie clearly de-
clarsd that he would not defer TO Con.
sress in any respect, and would have
nothing to 81 with any other plan OF
reconstruction. lie seems to be adopt
ing al! the old Democratic stories about
the extremes Of the South and the North,
and that the Northern Abolition:sts are
just as bad as the Southern Sccessionlsts.
We would also say to Mr.. johnson,
that Congress has some rights AS we'll as
the Executive, aud if he is determined
to declare war upon that body, aud bring
the nation under the heel Of single
man, he will Gul il 4 hard roal:o travel.
We desire to support the Government,
and to do 70 will support all its depart.
