Horace Greeley has professed to oppose Gen.
Grant on the ground that, in his view, no presi-
dent should hold the Office longer than one
term. Such ground of opposition had not oc-
Cured TO him, sixteen months ago, when he
himself proposed to have Gen. Grant nominated
for second term. January 5, 1871, at political
meeting in New York city, he delivered aspeech
in which he praised the administration, and ut
tered these words: "While asserting the right
OF every republican 10 his untrammeled choice
of a candidate for next president, until nom-
nation is made, venture to suggest that Gen.
| Grant will be far better qualified for that mo-
| mentous trust in 1872, than he was in 1865"
Men call Mr.. Greeley honest, and we don't be
leve he has ever been thief. But, is it honest
to talk as he does now of the Zone term" de-
vice and ''forget" that he has ever talked other.
wise? Certainly, there was time when he pro
posed a second term for President Grant, and
gave a good reason for doing so.
The senate has passed a bill to increase by
twenty per cent the pensions paid to soldiers
| who lost in the service both eyes, both arms,
both legs, or one arm and one leg. This is we'll
so far as it goes, but it does not go far enough.
Men so MANNED are in general permanently in
Capacitated from earning their own living; those
who by extraordinary energy or good fortune
are still able TO support themselves by their
own exertions Notwithstanding their disadvan-
| tages, are rare exceptions, too few to be taken
into account in determining the policy of the
| government toward the class. The majority are
not only helpless, so far as profitable
labor is concerned, but need the SER
vices of personal attendant to meet
the thousand daily and hourly require
ments which men who have all their members
perform for themselves almost unconsciousy
without thinking of the misery it would
cause to feel these wants without the powel
of supplying them. 1t is the duty o
the government to make these men comfortable
so far as their unfortunate condition admits o
comfort, by generous provision for their Deces
stiles, and there is no excuse for neglecting thi,
duty. One thousand dollars would not be toe
large pension for men so disabled and if the
sum were made larger the nation would not
grudge it, The bill which has passed the senate
will require it is said, an expenditure of $500 900
Ten times that sum would not be too much for
the government to pay when justice and honor
requires it. No other expense could offer so
little opportunity for jobbery or imposition, or
| would be SO secure against being drawn into a
precedent to justify an outlay for some other
object. When the government recognizes the
right of these crippled veterans to additiona
compensation for the losses suffered in its ser
vice, it should consider how great are their ne
cessities and what is the true measure of it
duty.
