six days before the date of the certificate sent by
the Commissioner Of Pensions to said Hannah
S. Dane to notify her that her claim for PEN

stop keeping house four months ago. Had Mrs
Dane got her pension six months ago, she would
be alive now
Six days after Hannah Dane died the poor old
mother Of brave soldier who died for his ooun-

five hundred dollars. This is not an exceptional

% Ii will be interesting for soldiers to calculate
the amount of money that will be coming to
them should the bill to equalize bounties be
passed, as we are encouraged to believe it will.
Multiply the number of months you were in
the service by eight and one third dollars, and
subtract the amount of bounty you received from
the United States. The remainder will show the
amount of bounty you will be entitled to under
this bill. af
All soldiers who served three months will re-
ceive twenty-five dollars.
All soldiers who served nine months will re-
ceive seventy-ive dollars
All soldiers who enlisted prior to July 4, 1864,
and served one year, will receive one hundred

THE DELAY IN PENSION MATTERS.

In the army appropriation bill, to pass which
the extra session was called, is clause which
was intended, in good faith no doubt, to hasten
the examination Of pension cases, but which will
prove inefficient and useless i Instead of fappro-
priating money for an Increase Of the clerical
force in the Surgeon Generals Office, as they
should have done, Congress merely provided
that surplus, clerks in the other departments
should be detailed to do work in the Surgeon
Generals Office No one ever heard of there
being a surplus clerk in any department of the
Government, and Congress might well have
done nothing.
AS is well known all pension cases are sent
from the Pension Office to the Surgeon Gene
rails Office for an examination Of the hospital
records. The force of clerks in the latter office
is and has been for many years inadequate to the
requirements, so that they are now about twenty
thousand cases behind the Pension Office. j tsl.

made to inquiries as to the status of cases in

Congressman do not stop to consider the great
want and deprivation that is caused by this delay
in obtaining pensions In many cases. more than
is generally supposed, pensioners are dependent,
almost entirely, for support upon the meager sum
they receive from the Governments many
widows and orphans of soldiers who died in de-
Tense of their country are in great want and des-
titution, and cases have been reported where
families have been turned into the streets because
OF the delay in the payment of the pension on
which they depended for their rent. Children are
growing up neglected, to become criminals and
outcasts, in cases where, had the means been pro-
vided which they We're entitled to- they might
have become worthy members of society Some
cases have been reported where soldiers widows
have died in extreme need while waiting for the
