TO EagAhszH PAYMENTS.


A bill has been introduced in the
House of Representatives by Congress
man j, B. Weaver, of Iowa. to pla;e
soldiers and sailors who served in the
war for the Union on an equality with
bondholders. The bill provides that
sach'soldier and sailor shall be paid the
aggregate difference iii value between
tue currency in which he was paid dur
ing the war and the value of gold at the
time OF the several payments, AMI in
the case Of his demise, the same to be
paid to his heirs. Six per cent. interest
is to be allowed on the amount from
the date the soldier or sailor was mus
tered out of the service until it is paid.
To meet this liability, the bill pro-
vides that the Government shall issue
the required amount in United States
notes.
Mr.. Weaver, who introduced this
bill, was elected to Congress on the
Democratic and Greenback ticket in the
Sixth Iowa District. He is the first
and only member of Congress. who has
had the courage to introduce a bill to
place the men who fought for the Union
on an equality with the bondholders.
In the dark days of the rebellion, when
men as well as money were wanted ia
carry on the war, the Government paid
the men in deprecated currency, while
it issued bonds at the rate of wo.dol:
lars or. more. for one in coin. These
bonds were to bear interest at the rate
of 7.30 or more, per cent. in, coin. The
money kings, under this arrangement,
received at least 5000 in bonds for 500
in coin, while. the soldiers and sailars
were paid in currency worth from 40. to
SO cents on the dollar. The one who
furnished money, with the whole Onion
for security, received bonds bearing a
high rate of interest, equal to twice
the amount he loaned, while the sol
dier who rsked his life on the battle
field was paid in. deprecated CUR
rency Since the. war the bonds,
which were originally payable in
currency, have been by legislation made
payable in coin and gold. coiIl.at that.
Now the Iowa. Congressman, proposes
that the men who risked their livas
shall be placed on ara equality with
those who only loaned money, by pay
ing them the difference, between the
currency in which they were paid, and
gold at the time they were paid It is
not likely that the. bill will beseme a
law as, the money kings will oppose it.
They do not want the currency inflated
by issuing GOVERNMENT notes to pay the
soldiers and the, whole power of the
Administration will be used to pssyent
it, although it would be. but simple JUS
tice to the brave mens who ventured
everything, including life, t.. save the
Union from destruction:

dcatlless spirit of this aged Christian
winged its flight to his God, and his

crossed the public attention to no

SAN Francisco, June l0.-Last
night, at the residence of VIM. Rod
dan, three miles from Wheatlaud.
Yuba County, the room 10 which two
young ladies, Ida Damn and Cora
Heslep, were sleeping, was entered
by a person unknown, and both L.
dies beaten nearly TO death with an
iron bar, which was subsequently
found on the premises None of the
family awakened until sometime af-
ter the occurrence, when the groaus
of Miss Heslep aroused the other in
mates of the house. She was found
10 bed, inseasible, covered With blood
and wcuads. Mss Dunn was found
outdoors, near the house, also insen-
sible. terribly mutilated, aud an at
tempt had been made to ravish her.
Armed parties are securing the neigh
borhood. Oae man, a negro, has
been arrested on suspicion, but is be-
lieyed to be innocent, and it is thought
the deed was committed by some n
acquainted with the premises and
habits Of the family.
