II is sometimes beneficial to look back into the
history Of the couAtry during the crisis o. the
war and refresh tho memory a. TO facts, so as TO
guide ms In the present and the future.
In this connection II might be well now to con-
slider the services rendered TO tho nation by It's
brave defenders, who pcrled Ill that their coun-
try might be saved, aud let US try and recall to
our minds and hearts some Of that feeling Of
gratitude which illed the minds OF all true and

A RE5oLUrIoN to encourage the employment of
disabled and discharged soldiers.
Resolved bH the Senate and H0usc 81 RsprcscntG-

from the military or naval service by reason o.
disability resulting from wounds or sickness In
Cured In the line Of duty, should be preferred
for appointments 10 civil ofioes:n Provided they
shall be found 70 possess the buainess capacity
necessary for the proper discharge OF the duties

the above recommendations been fuldlled re-
speeding the employment OF eOldlem In civil
service, or have they been ignored7n n the lAi-
ter, ought not the resolution be repeated At THIS
session, and In such terms that II shall not be
forgotten or avoided.
And, "a TO those who would wish 70 become farm

ought 70 donate 10 each man, or his heirs, who
would wtshltO 60 on the public lands go IcTe
the same quantity that was donated 10 actual Het-
tiers In Oregon and Washington Territories Who
have there made the desert flourish; but very
few Of whom volunteered ~ defend their country
during the war. TharO are millions OF acTes now
worthless TO the Government or 70 man, which,
II granted In this manner, would enrich the
country generally, and make the Occuples 4
happy and industrious people, who would trans.
init their loyalty TO countless generations OF
honest, Independent and brave owners Of the
soil. BY doing so the Government would In
crease the industry and prOduotion Of tho cOun'
try. Il would MI up waste and now desert
places. It would add TO the happiness and vel
hare Of Its brave defenders; and II would lesser
the necessity and expense Of military forts
throughout the Territories by Increasing tho
population. H-.
Would not this be a subject well worthy OF the
consideration and prompt action OF Congress this
session. ~.
