Yet in the face and eyes Oh such GER
tincates as these, the Honorable Sen
ator palms off such plea. Nor is the
Honorable Senator ignorant of the
fact, that Mr.. Wiltshire, of Arkansas,
during the recent session of Congress,
introduced II bill in the House, the
provisions of which were as follows
That all citizens of the United States
having claims against the United
States Tor stores or supplies taken OF
furnished during the rebellion for the
use of the army of the United States,
including the use and loss of vessels OF
boats while employed in the military
service OF the United States, may in.
stltute suit against the United States
for the adjustment and recovery OF
suah claims in the District Court ol
the United States for the district in
which such stores or supplies may
nave been taken Or furnished, or sucu
vessels or boats may have been used Cl
lost.
Nor Can the Honorable Senator
profess ignorance OF the further fact,
that bill more sweeping III its details
was introduced ill the House, by Riddle
OF Tennessee, the provisions of which
with the other will cover list of rebel
claims, dggregating over S2, GOO, 900,
600. The latter bill contained the
following PROVISIONS:
That the Secretary of War be, and
IS hereby authorized to allow reason
able cOmpensations to all citizens OF
the United States for tie use and oc'
cupation of their property by the
United State army or any part thereof,
during the late civil war, in the same
manner and under the same regula-
tlons rs compensation is now allowed
for quarterinaster stores used by said
army: PROVIDED. HOWEVER, That
the affidavit OF the claimant, support
Ell by the competent testimony OF any
reputable citizen, shall be sufficient
proof to establish the fact of the use
and occupation of such property by
said army. Bat it is not the intention
Of this act to limit the parties to the
amount of proof herein specified: but
other and additional testimony may
be taken to establish the fact of the
use and occupation and tIe rental
value OF the property occupied.
Now let the 'Soiid South" send up
its Confederate Brigadiers," and dc
you, if you think best, return to Con
gress such man us John H. Hudson,
who was but a plant tool in the hand;
of Catholic priests to force through
the Geghan bilI, and yon will have the
proud satisfaction of having him sup
port such a measure. And should ;he
Solid South" with the aid OF the
Democracy OF the North obtain con
troll of Congress, you will have TIE
satisfaction Of knowing that by you
votes, you aided in putting them il
power, and made it possible for then
to lay this addition burden upon you
Vote for the Honorable Charles Eos
