THE EQUALIZATION OF BouNTlEs BILL.

The faithful friends of the soldiers in Congress
at once, upon the opening of the session, set the
ball rolling, and have introduced bills for the
equalization of bounties to soldiers who served
in the late war for the Union. Representative
men of both parties have stepped forward and
taken this matter in hand, and there is clearly a
majority in favor of the passage of the measure
in the House Of Representatives at least The
majority is less in the Senate, and the danger
there is the same that defeated the bill Last ses-
sion, namely, the opposition of men like Ed
munds, who will interpose dilatory motions so
as to keep q continual postponement of the bill,
until it expires at the end OF the session Many
Senators will resist these dilatory motions, and
hurry the measure forward.
The bill introduced by Senator Ingalls,, which
is similar in all it's provisions to the one which
has heretofore been before Congress, provides
that there shall be allowed and paid to each and
every non-commissioned officer, musician, arti-

The Senate Committee on Pensions has referred
the bill to Senator Davis of Illinois, ex-Assocate
Justice of the United States Supreme Court, a
man of great fairness and judicial learning.
Judge Davis hesitates to say what disposition
will be made of the bill, but he will advise the
Committee on Pensions to report it favorably.
He has been furnished with all the facts bearing
on the subject and will be ready to make a
report to the committee at an early date
Tie whole number of persons entitled to pen
sions as survivors of the Mexican war is seven
thousand, including many already on the pension
rolls, and others who have died since the work
of enrolment began out OF this number, 4,629
had been classified by regiments, &C., at the close
of the last Congress. OF this fractional number,
there was found All average of about forty-four
survivors to forty regiments of regulars and vol
unteers enumerated. Now, assuming that this
fractional number 1920 covers one half the
men still living, say 9,258, which amounts 2,25S
more than have been found by the agencies OF
the local associations it affords fair and reason
able basis for the congressional committee to
estimate the true number of Survivors, For ex-
ample, the forty regiments referred to consist of
four hundred companies, and embrace 3 400 sur
vivors, being an average of 8.5 to the company
The official records of the War Department show
there were 1,033 companies of men in the war,
aggregating 10C,454 men of ali grades Of rank
Multiplying the whole number of companies by
the average number of survivors in four hundred
companies, gives us total of $3.50 survivors.
But, in any estimate based on the number en-
tloyed in the war, (10O,454,) the important facts
should be taken into the account that 1886
desths occurred during the war from all causes :.
ATS were mustered in who were not sent to the
seat of war; 6,725 deserted, and will not be eli
gbe to pension; 9,749 were discharged for
wounds and other disabilities, and were probably
afterward put npon the pension rolls, besides
vast number OF the three, six, and twelve-nlonths
volunteers re-enlisted, and are thus duplicated in
the grand aggregate of 100,454 Deduct the
figures here given, amounting to 80, ,148, without
regard to the number of re-enlistments, which
cannot be obtained from published reports,) and
we lave, as the grand aggregate, 68,306 indi-
viiuals who came out of the war, which is only
abort eight times the number estimated by the
assS ation to be alive at the end of thirty years
after the war f99s

May, eighteen hundred and sixty-five The pro-
visions of this act extend to all soldiers who We're
mustered into the service of the United States
and were subasted, clothed, and paid by the
Government of the United States
In case of the death, either before or after the
passage of this act, of any such non-commissioned
officer, musician, artifcer, WAGNER, or private
soldier, sailor marine, it is provided that the
allowance and payment will be made to his
widow, it she has not remarked, or If there be
no widow, or she has remarked, then to the minor
child or children. In computing and ascertaining
the bounty to be paid to any non-commissloned
officer, musician, artifcer, WAGNER, or private
soldier, sailor, or marine, or to his proper repre-
sentatves under the provisions of this act, there
will be deducted therefrom any and all bounties
already paid under the provisions of any United
States laws t m
The bill provides that no bounty under the
provisions of this act shall be paid to or on ac-
count of any soldier who served as a substitute
in the army, or who was captured prisoner OF
war at the time of his enlistment, nor to any one
who was discharged, on his own application or
request for other cause than disability incurred
In the service, prior to the nineteenth day OF
April, eighteen hundred and sixty-fve, unless
such discharge was obtained with view to re-
enlistment, or to accept promotion III the military

ferred; and no bounty shall be paid to any SOL
dier discharged on the application or at the re-
quest ofparents, guardians, or other persons on
the ground of minority. Il tis required that every
petition or application for bounty shall disclose
and state specifically, under oath, what amount
of bounty has been paid u FER the provisions OF
any United States laws to the non-commissioned
officer, musician, artiicer, wagoner, or private
soldier, sailor, or marine by whom or by whose
representative the claim is made.
The bill provides that any attorney or agent
who shall receive from any claimant sum
greater than ten dollars for the prosecution OF
any claim under the provisions of this act shall,
upon conviction, pay fine not to exceed one
thousand dollars, or Imprisonment for term not
less than one year, or both, as the court or jury
may adjudge, and shall forever thereafter be

COLUMBIA, June Q.

COLUMBIA, June u.
The report of the conference committee
appointed to adjust the differences between
the two houses in relation to the appropri-
alton bill was adopted by the house to-day.
No doubt the senate will adopt the report
tonight. A concurrent resolution passed
both houses to-day, declaring the seat of
Judge II. B. Carpenter vacant on the
ground that the election in December, 1875,
was illegal, the office at that time not being
vacant, and ordering an election to fill the
vacancy at 1:15 tomorrow.
The senate tonight adopted the report
of the conference committee on the appro-
priation bill without much opposition. The
bill will be ratified tomorrow.
While no direct appropriation Is made
for the payment Of interest on the public
debt, yet the levy is made and specifically
appropriated for that purpose in the sup
ply bill. The result is virtually the same.
In the house tonight resolution agreeing
to impeach Associate Judge j. ]. Wright
for drunkenness was passed by two
thirds vote and committee will be ap-
pointed to prepare articles Of impeachment.
In the meantime Wright is suspended from
exercising the duties of his office.
