RADICAL LEGISLATIoN.
TUE HISTORY OF BILL THAT WAS
RUSHED THROUGH CONGRESS IN A SIN
GLE DAY-suIT TO BE BROUGHT.

WAsHISoToS, May 2l.- Eight years
ago last March, Senator Abbott, Of
North Carolina, rose in the Senate, u
sheet of paper in his hand, introduced
bill, made two motions, referred it to
committee, reported it from a com.
mittcc, and passed it. Two weeks later
W. b. Stokes, u Representative from
Tennessee, who sold cadetship and
did other worse things, got up in the
House, said ten words and passed the
bill. BY curious coincidence, Sena.
tor Abbott did just the same thing IN
the Senate for II bill Of Stokes's Alb.
bott's bill took $4,000 out of the
United States Treasury, During the
war, in 1861, one hundred and five
members OF the Second North Carolina
Infantry were sent on a raid. No re.
cord was ever made of their return.
They stood on the regimental roll as
deserters. This bill wiped ont the
stain. OF the money .bcn paid the
men, W. II. Rollins, Of Madison coun-
ty, North Carolina, got half for pass.
ing the bill the men got the rest.
This spring a special agent was sent
by the Pension Bureau to Madison
county to investigate the pensioners
there. Under date OF March 26th, he
wrote to Commissioner Bentley Of the
passage OF this bill, and said II will
not now attempt to speak of the un-
limited check OF Rollins, or detail the
manner in which he bulldozcd Con.
gress and the departments. This will
fully appear in due time, and the office
may be prepared to learn of more
than have yet been developed in one
place excepting Philadelphia" lie
also advises that Rollins be sued, as he
is good, and the agent thinks he has
evidence on which tho Government
can recover sl5, 900 or s25, 900.

ing their positions. Nor will they be
any more respected il the President
shall succeed. 1t will be vain for them
then to plead that they asssentcd to it
and helped on to the grand consumma
ton, for the whole Nation well knows
better and will give honor only to
whom honor is due. Snch men us

Either would be better, much better
than the trimming Of the mere poll.
tician, and even a mistake would be
excused by the people il committed
sincerely and courageously. But these
leaders most wrong themselves forget
ting that they owe the Republic that
has honored them sectional peace and
public integrity, and they will not be
held blameless if they fail to give the
President positive support in the
great effort for the tranquility of the
country and the elevation of the
official service. f the Republican
leaders who are to-day hesitating and
trimming their sails for adverse cur.
rents, were to give a positive support
to President Hayes, the battle would
bo won and peace and law aud good
government would be at once assured
throughout the whole land. 1t is on
this point that they will yet be called
to answer for their responsible stew.

them if ii shall be believed that they
hindered the triumph OF national paci-
fication.
