10000, the sum of $4,000, which is an unnec-
essary tax upon these poor recipients of Gov
ernment aid.
Again, this change cannot be made to work
without great hardship. Even on the figures
of work given in the report above cited, the
payment of pensions will be work going on
steadily all the year in the Treasury at Wash
ington. They will be paid some on the first day
of the quarter others on the last, and some not
until the end of the year, and all along during
each and every day of the year
1t will turn out in the end if this system is
adopted, that it will be more expensive to the
Government than the present; that it will re-
quire larger and better paid force in the
Departments than it now does in the agencies;
that it will save no money to the United States
tfat it will hinder and delay pensioners, and
that it will give great opportunity for collision,
fraud, and robbery by dishonest clerks and
officials.
Mr. Bentley deserves great thanks for the
strong and manly way in which he has put his
objections to this scheme, and, on behalf of the
pensioners, we thank him.
The National tribune., 1878-03-01

THE national TRIBUNE announced as one
of its objects the passage of bill to pay pen
sions to the soldiers of 1912. This object has
been accomplished and the TRIBUNE expresses
its qualification.
Now we wait for the Bounty Bill, and we
notify all soldiers that if this bill does not pass
it will be their fault and not ours. We have
repeatedly urged them to make their Members
and Senators feel their responsibility for this
great measure of justice, humanity and relief
and they have neglected to do So
So the bill sleeps in the Military Committee
of the two Houses, and it begins to look as if
it We're intended that it should sleep the sleep
of death
And now we give one more warning and in
form the soldiers of the country that they must
act at once.
This House of Representatives goes before
the people this fall. If the bill is ever to pass
in this Congress it must be before the adjourn
ment of this session.
The National tribune., 1878-03-01

We occupy much Of our space this week in
reproducing the testimony taken before the
Committee on the Conduct of the War in re.
lation to the treatment Of prisoners in the rebel
prisons. We do this for two reasons-irst.
that the people themselves may have their minds
and recollections refreshed ON this matter, and
secondly, in illustration of the complaint we
have had to make in this number in regard to
the Commissioners rulings on cases from An
dersonville.
In our next number there will be more mis-
celaneous matter.
The National tribune., 1878-03-01
Beauties of the practice in the Pension ofics.

We propose to publish, for the information
of our readers and of whom it NAV concern.
two specimen cases from the Pension Office.
which show very clearly the dominion of Red
Tape In that office and the absurd and mpossi-
BILE acquisitions made upon men whose cases are
of the highest character of merit
The two cases selected are of soldiers who
were confined for length of time in that s'heH
upon earth known as Andersonville ANY per-
son OF common intelligence, not bedevilcd by
the spirit of routine and official rulings, would
say that the mere fact once proved of confine-
ment for any time in that cesspool of all dis
eases, of itself plain cause for anv disease
or disability shown to have existed after return
from captivity, and to continue in existence
now But the Commissioner is man of nm
common intelligence, and processes, as we have
seen in another article, "not to be able to be-
lieve testimony" He has also established rules
and to the official mind a rule is worth more
than justice-and notwithstanding the rule
manifestly in the particular case is an absurdity.
yet the rule must stand, or the office loses its
dignity and its reputation for consistency.
In the case of Thomas Peters. Companv Fl.
Second Delaware Volunteers No. 226, ,5S4. the
claim is for debility resulting from exposure,
starvation, and bad treatment in Andersonyille.
The proof of soundness at the time of enlist
ment and capture is complete in the testimony
of two comrades, who knew him for five wears
before he went into the service and served with
him nineteen months in the same regiment up
to the time of his capture in battle
The capture of the claimant and his deten-
tion as prisoner from October IA, 1868, until
April ~, 1865, at Libby, Belle Isle, and Ander
sonville, is clearly in evidence.
His regiment was mustered out before he was
released and returned to our lines.
He was discharged at Wilmington, Delaware
lie was seen by two witnesses, former com
rades soon after his return from captivity. at
the convalescent camp, and they describe his
emaciated and reduced condition, and say that
he looked I" as if he had almost been starved to
death )" that he suffered from chronic diarrbea
and general debility; that they have been neigh
bors of his since his discharge, and that his
health has been wretched that the burden of
the support of the family has been borne by his
wife, and that he has been unable to work.

Abolition of Pension Agencies.

is clause which sweeps off all pension agen-
cies, and directs all payments after July to
be made to pensioners from the Treasury De
partment, Washington.
This change is made in accordance, we pre-
sumo, with a recommendation made by Secre-
tary Schurz, in his letter Of January Q, 1878,
Senate Mis-. Doc No. 38,
1t has been opposed by Commissioners Bent
ley, as will appear from the same document,
and we are glad to say that the figures and
reasoning given by the Commissioner are, to
our mind, satisfactory on this question, and that
in this instance Mr. Bentley has shown himself
the friend of the many against the few
But it may be that, looking at the subject
from different point of view, we may be able
to present the case in form that shall strike a
class of minds more favorably than from the
point of view of the Commissioners.
There are now eighteen pension agencies. In
these eighteen agencies are employed 100 clerks,
and by the present machinery pensions have
been paid with singular promptness and accu-
racy.
The annual cost of the present system in pay
ing $4,000 pensioners each three months is
1925 900, or not quite dollar for each pen
sioner.
And all these clerks, 100 in number, are held
to longer hours and more dilgent labor than
Government clerks ever have been or ever will
be-
So that it may be assumed that the work
cannot be done in Washington at any Depart
ment with less amount of clerical force, and
it may reasonable be expected that the force of
clerks employed will be greater.
Assuming, however, that the force will be
the same, we have 100 clerks, that will average
81 400 each, and for clerical force alone we must
pay $224,000.
True, it is estimated that the cost of the
changes proposed would be only $l37, ,000 but
this is simply an estimate, and any one who
reads the document referred to will see that the
amount of continuous daily labor required of
clerks under this estimate is almost physical
impossibility.
And yet the Committee on Appropriations,
without any figures to justify it, have, of their
own authority, cut this estimate down to $685.
600, an amount manifestly inadequate to the
service demanded. Now, it is absolutely GER
tain that the service cannot be performed on
that sum of money.
All this argument and statement hitherto has
been considered only on one side of the ques-
tion, that is, on the side of the Government.
But, in reality, this is not the important side.
The purpose and aim of the pension laws is to
give relief promptly and efectually to the pen
sioners, and the expense in so doing is a second
airy consideration.
The essential point to be looked after in pro
posing change is, how it will affect the pen
sioner Let us look at it in that light. There
are not less than 10000 pensioners who person
ally appear and personally receive their pittance
every quarter at the agencies They have no
trouble about theiridentity; they are not obliged
to go before a notary and make proof every
