Buchanan County bulletin. [volume] (Independence, Iowa) 1869-1891, 1877-05-25

The United States District Court
at its last session at Des Moines af.
firmed the judgment of the lower
court, in the matter Of the govern.
ment against j. A. Rhomberg, Of
Dubuque, indicted for unpaid taxes
to the amount of $lO3,O 900, and found
guilty. Rhomberg's distillery at
Dubuque was seized on Monday of
this week by Revenue Collector,
Gen. M. M. Trumbull, in accordance
with the order of the Court. This,
of course, will render Mr.. Rhomberg
bankrupt. The Dubuque papers
are, as matter of course, protesting
against the judgment, having, we
suppose, neighborly feeling for Mr..
Rhomberg, and also having at heart
certain Dubuque financial interests;
but personal feelings and financial
interests, must not be maintained at
the expense of law and justice. "Let
no guilty man escape" is a good
maxim, Mr., Herald.

SILVER.

The glut of this precious metal on
the Pacific coast gives our Postal
Department much annoyance, mas
much as it causes great difficulty in
making payments to contractors who
carry the mails. The people buy
their stamps with silver, but refuse
to receive it in return, and demand
greenhacks or gold, neither of which
is possessed by the ppst.masters. The
Department has not as yet devised a
means of relief, and apparently can
not until Congress gives some addi'
tional legislation.
WHY APPLICANTS FOR PENSIONS HAVE
TO WAIT.
The Pension Bureau has now on
its files nearly 10000 unadjudicated
pension cases, besides some 10000
so.called ere elected cases. about
1000 of which annually require to
be reopened Oh the presentation of
additional evidence. The work of
the pension Office proper is quite as
we'll up as ever before, but replies to
references to the Adjutant General
and Surgeon Generals office. The
average time required to obtain the
hospital record of soldier is from
twelve to fourteen months, during
which the applicant has only to wait
with what patience he OF she may
possess. Another cause of great de-
lay Is the steadily increasing difficult
ty which, as time advances, the ap-
plicant meets in obtaining the neces-
sary evidence to secure the issuing
of the pension certificate. In view
of this Increasing difficulty Congress
will at its next session be asked for a
sufficient clerical force to bring up
the present applications and pecpre
prompt attention to claims.
