SOLDIERS AND SAILORS BOUNTY

The House passed a bill to eqaalize
bounties of soldiers and sailors. 1t is
a substitute for the law Of last session
and gives each soldier who has served
any time eight and one-thlrd dollars per
month, w 'th deduction of all Federal
State and local bounties which he may
have received. All Of the Eastern men
voted against the bill on the ground
that soldiers from their States would re'
ceive nothing, as they hal been paid al
ready such large bonntles by those
States. The Western men voted fot
the bill for the contrary reason. II
passed by 81 to G2.
This bill, if not curtai.ed IN its for
nation by certain conditions and pro
visions, we consider as near the cqnallz
ing of bounties as Congress will evel
get Let the Senate pass 1t as above
giving to all honorably discharged Sol
