The National tribune., 1879-03-01

But they not bound TO sacrifice manliness and
personal honor they have right to be treated as
gentlemen and members of an honorable profession,
and above all they have the right not to be con-
founded in mass of alleged crminality.
If the Commissioner, who is to them the judge of
the court goes out of the way to prejudice the pub
lie mind against them and the business by which
they ive they have the right Of defence against un
warranted attack and if by reason of this unpeas-
ant relations about the fault is not with them
but with the party who did the wrong.
1t is infinitely for the benefit of all parties con-
cerned that the relations should be pleasant; it is
greatly for the advantage of the United States that
there should be mutual respect and mutual sympa-
thy and this can be secured and maintained by
fair and unfnchng administration, that shall punish
all wrongs commtted-that shall distinguish be-
tween the honorable and dishonorabe members of
the profession.
So far we know, the pension attorneys wish
this done and will cooperate to the fullest extent
with the Commissioner in detecting and furnishing
toners
One other thing it seems to us the Commissioner
ought to do, in justice to honorable practitioners
He ought to restore the law, or aid in restoring
the law, by which fees made contingent sue
cess and secured in case of success, and also the
penalties against attorneys, improvdently repealed
He should do this police measure, in the in
erest of honest business before his tribunal and to
discourage imposition upon the ignorant claimant

Soldiers Attention !

Probably few of you comparatively speaking, are
aware of the expense of publishing such an edition
as send out every month to every quarter of the
Union. Thousands are sent to soldiers who write
wishing to see copy of the paper, which is for
warded to them free, we paying postage thereon
We are doing this constantly, and shall continue
the practice in the future But remember friends
the old adage you have all doubtless learned:
Little drops of water, little grains of sand,
Make the mighty and the pleasant land"
And if you wish to hold up hands so that we
may work with vigor to promote your interest we
earnestly invite you to subscribe for the paper at
once, If a number of soldiers in little city or
thriving villagethere are hundreds of these all over
the country, get together, they could
readily raise clubs for us of from ten to one
hundred, ana they could then get the paper at
less price than fifty cents per year As we have
heretofore indicated, THE TRIBUNE" proposes to
be the mouthpiece for expressing the views of the
soldiers on all subjects affecting their interests, and
to constantly contend for all that will benefit, and
oppose all that will injure them 1t is a saying
worthy of all acceptance, that one good turn de-
serves another" and if we help you you should be
ready to reciprocate Unlike other papers, "THE
NATIONAL TRIBUNE" has Speclal mission IN view.
1t is to the soldier what The Iron Age is to the
dealer in iron, "The Dry Goods Reporter' to
one merchandising in cottons, woods, and silks. The
soldier really needs it. 1t posts him every month
as to the decisions of the Commissioner of Pensions
and when Congress is in session upon it's business
affecting him. Now soldiers, every one of you from
high private to drum major whether major generals
or corporals, one and all subscribe for our paper,
and you will find it the best ffty-cent investment
you ever made

The Gray sustaining the Blue.

On the 28th of Feb, 1879, scene was enacted
in the Senate of the United States, calculated to
inspire the patriotism and strengthen the hopes of
all who believe in the Republic and the glorious
destiny before it. Mr.. ingalls,, of Kansas, intro
duced amendment to the bill granting arrears of
pensions, creating board of surgeons to visit sol
poses. We do not here propose to discuss the folly
and injustice of this bill suffice it to say the propo
stion was rejected by decisive vote of twenty
eight yeas to thirty-seven nays. And who were
among these nays? Why, ten who were officers,
most of them Generals IN the Con ntederate Army
Truly, Time works wonders"
Think of it, Confederate Generals saving Union
soldiers from wrong and outrage Let US name
these generals and then say: Soldiers was there
ever a nober exhibition of unsel6sh patriotism ?'
Butler, of South Carolina; Cockrel of Missouri ;
Coke and Maxey, of Texas Eusts, of Louisiana ;
Gordon of Georgia; Harris, of Tennessee; Lamar,
of Miss; Ransom of \. c., and Morgan of Ala
And what end was intended to be accomplished by
these gentlemen? Political considerations NAV be
imputed, but not willing to Judge honorable
men, when they perform an apparently unselfsh act
by such standard. If actuated by such considera-
tons they might have said: We fought for another
cause, our soldiers uncared for and we will
show no disposition to favor those of the Union
Army" But they did not, and having recognized
the establishment of the Union and bowed in obe-
dience before its flag, they have become the friends
of those who fought for it, when they were its
enemies Gentlemen on behalf of our soldiers we
thank you and congratulate you and the country
upon your honorable, patriotic, and noble action.

The Death of the Forty-fifth Congress.

At noon, the 4th day of March, 1879 this
Congress passed from the scene of activity
Its acts matters of history, and can begin
to be fairly judged.
To those who, like most of our readers are inter-
ested in Pensions its presents points full of
interest and worthy of commendation
For the first time in these long years since the
war, both Houses and the President have concurred
in expressing, in the form of law that principle
which each House separately has more than once
agreed to.
Committees of both Houses, in we-reasoned re-
ports have long since fixed the true doctrine, that
Pensions arise from contradiction an offer made by
the United States and accepted by every soldier
part of his enlistment The right to Pension be-
came fixed and vested when the service of the citi-
zen soldier accepted, and the enjoyment of that
right became due upon the occurrence of the death
disability in service. Any legislation, therefore,
which limited or postponed the full enjoyment of this
right from the date of death or disability was vio
lation of contract. Such was the law of limitation
denying this right any that did not apply within
fixed time The effect of the Arrears of Pension
Act just passed was to remove this limitation and to
place the applicant of to-day precisely the same
footing as the who had applied within the pc
riod of the old limitation.
The Forty-6fth Congress deserves the thanks of
all soldiers for the manly way in which this great
question was met and decided
There very serious opposition both in and
out of Congress- not so much TO the passage of the
law for arrears, as to the providing an appro-
pration
In the Senate and in the House there are men
who look with holy horror upon any appropriation
which does not look toward helping the rich to be
richer,
In the public press, the organs of the bondholders
pretended to believe that it would interfere with
sumption and decrease the value of their securities.
