THE BILL providing for the equalization
OF soldiers bounties is substantially the
same which passed during the last session.
but which failed to reach the President in
consequence of q point OF order raised in the
Senate on the last day of the session. A con-
ference committee reported the bin to both
houses. The House adopted the report, but
the senate laid the report ana bill on the
table: 1t received the signature of the
Speaker OF the House, and subsequent that
of the Vice President, but attention having
been called to the fact that the Senate lad
not acted finally on the bill. 1t was not laid
before the President for approval. The
Second Auditor estimated last year that IL
would take from the Treasury slil, OOO, 600,
wonld take So, 600 900. Those who adyocat ted
the bill claimed 1t would not require more
than $50 00o, 900 to equalixe bounties under
lis provisions, and Senator Logan, Chair
man Of the Military Committee, put the fig-
urts at less than S21 600 600. The bin is nnsv
ia the hands OF the Military Commitfee Of
the Senate. Of which Senator Logan is chair
man. He favors the bill, and the probable
tty is that IL will be favorably reported from
the committee. 1t is not anticipated how
ever. that the Senate will assent to the bin,
owing TO the depleted condition OF the ma
tional treasury.

ing or Messrs. Harrison, Walsh, Williams
OF Nj Michigan, Kim ball, and Woodwork, held
meeting to-day and authorized Mr.. Nor

authorizing him to communicate with the
president OF the Baltimore and Potomac
railroad, and state TO him that unless some
arrangements are made by the Company
within q specified time, TO remove their
present depot In this city and the tracks OF
the road on 9th street, that TIE Committees
would take steps TO secure such legislation
as Will compel the removal in question.
Inc committees are DESTROYS that the COM

wishes IN this re 3pect without further legis-
lation, and now have under consideration
The subject OF new site for a depot. Many
OF the members are in favor of giving the

GEN'L MCPHERsoN's REMA1ys.-A dis
patch appeared in some OF the eastern papers
last week stating that the mother OF the late
Gen. Mcpherson had telegraphed to Pres
ldent Grant placing the body OF her son at
his disposal for final burial. The dispatch
also stated that the Presid had given in
siructioDs for the removal OF the remains
from Clyde 10 Washington, to be buried be-
meath the Mcpherson statue. Acting under
the Instructions referred To above, a man
arrived In Clyde one day last week and
procuring the services OF some men at that
place, went TO work tearing up the founda-
ton which had been laid for the MCPHERSON
monument, which the people OF Clyde have
raised money to erect. The work OF tearing
up the foundation had been in progress but
short time when the workneen were stopped
by the authorities. The government officer
had, II appears, entered the cemetery and
commenced work without permission OF the
trustees. He and his men were put out of
the cemetery, and suit has been brought
against him for $500 damages. The McPher-
SON monumental association have expended
81 800 for the laying of the foundation and
they propose to make the government paw
them that amount If the remains are taken

Blaine's Friend Says They Ought to
Have Been Got Out"

On the LIST inst, during discussion in
congress, Mr., Randall said something
about the manner in which Architect
Potter was driven out of Office, and he was
answered that Mr.. Potter resigned:
Mr. Randall: / understand how people get out
OF offce-how Bristow got out and Wilson got out
and Yaryan and Dyer and Henderson,
Mr., Frye: They ought TO have been got out.
So, here we have it, stated on the floor
of the house. by Blaine's mouth piece and
friend, that such men as Bristow, Jewell
Yaryan, Dyer, Henderson, Pratt, Bluford
Wilson and other Republicans who have
been driven out of Office by a Republican
administration because they are honest
Ought to have been.got out. That
what Congressman Frye, Blaine's shadow
said in congress. And the Hayes party
Endorsed Grant in convention: and Hayes
Endorsed the resolution, and the election
Of Hayes will be only a third term o
Grant. How do Republicans like it?

Opinions on Tilden and Hendricks
Letters

The New York Express which opposed
Tilden's nomination says THE letter of Mr..
Tilden is marked with all the peculiarities OF
the man. 1t is instructive, terse, timely and
complete; full Of faith and hope as to the
cape bilities of the country and people to
be brought out of their present slough of
despond. The letter of Gov. Hendricks
geueralizes where Gov. Tilden condenses.
Upon the enlargement Of the topics dis
cussed it is folly, or worse, to attempt to
point out any great difference of opinion
between The two men as to conclusions.
In both letters there is the plainest honesty
of purpose, the most sincere love of coun-
try, and healthful desire to save the coun.
try from further infections of evil
The New York Euening Post rep. says;
Gov. lildens letter is an ample and careful
document, showing that familiarity with
his subject which comes of patient study
and large experience. The ends which
Gov. Tilden keeps in view will be every
where agreed to. The differences will
occur upon the means by which he pro
poses to secure those ends"

Whiteside County.

The Republicans in Whiteside coun-
ty have heretofore had about a
dozen newspapers and the Democrats
none. II is not surprising, therefore,
that Whiteside has been gropeing in
political darkness and her people led
astray. We are glad to perceive a
change in that county, and are glad to say
that the Democrats now have two good
newspapers in the county-the Whtteside
Times, published on Wednesdays, at Rock
Falls, aud the Morrison Democrat. pub
lished on Fridays, at Morrison. They are
both good papers and we hope the people
Of Whiteside county will see to it that they
do not languish for the want of proper
support.

How Grants Pumps and Thieves Con-
trolled Him.
The Republicans who went for reform
within the party" four years ago, by sup
porting Grant, will please read this ex-
tract from the testimony of their brother
Republican, Mr.. Bluford Wilson, late
solicitor to the treasury department:
Wilson then asked Porter what ex-
PLANTATION he had of Sylph's telegram.
Porter's reply was to the effect that Sylph
was lewd woman that the president OF
the United States had been In intimate
association with, and that she had annoyed
the pI esident until it CHANGED on certain
occasion that the attention Of Mcdonald,
who was in company with BabcOck at the
time, was called to her, and he remarked,
why, that is Sylph." Babcock SAID,
"Do Won know that woman, McDonald?'
and Mcdonald said he knew her we'll.
Babcock SAID, 'She has been giving the
president a great deal of trouble. l
wish you would relieve him OF her in some
way" Mcdonald replied, Certainly;
that is easy. can manage her. Ac-
cordingly, he did manage her, and Porter
said that the services which Mcdonald
thus rendered the president were so i'm.
portant that the term "Sylph' had be-
come a common matter Of Jest between
Babcock aud Mcdonald so that they were
in the habit at times OF addressing each
other by that name. Porter, also, without
explaining in detail, said that Babcock,
Joyce, and Mcdonald had occasion to cor.
respond with each other, and that the
Sylph dispatch referred to some parties
who were going out to st. Louis on bridge
business. Porter added that the mos
inestimable service Wilson could rende,
the president would be to save BabcocL
from the exposure"
