A Most Pertinent Query.

In the Revised Statutes of the United States,
Title XIX, page 3l9 we find the following section,
(No. I754): Persons honorably discharged from
the military or naval service by of disability
resulting from wounds or sickness incurred in the
line of duty, shall be preferred for appointments to
civil Offices, provided they found to possess the
business capacity necessary for the proper discharge
of the duties of such oficesn Such being the law
and glorious law it is-why do we find that the
Office of Commissioner of Pensions is held by man
who never saw one moments service in either the
Army or Navy of the United States? Above all
other places in the Government the Pension Office,
SO intimately associated with the Army and Navy,
should be filed by who had seen honorable SER
vice and suffered therefrom Mr.. Bentleyts entirely
out Of place. Give US a brave wounded soldier or
sailor in his place The soldiers and sailors every
where demand this.
The National tribune., 1879-12-01
no all Soldiers Themselves Entitled to Pension
or who have sympathy for their Dead
or Disabled Comrades.

For more than year THE NATIONAL TRIBUNEl
has been fighting good fight against what we be-
leve to be the great wrong and hardship proposed
by the Sixty-Surgeon Bill.
We have fought against the whole weight OF ofh-l
cial position and authority We have not hestatedl
to criticise and condemn the measure proposed,
although the Commissioner has thrown the whole
weight of his influence official and private in favor
of it. til hard and unequal fight, and we depend
for success solely on the justice of our cause.
Now, THE TRIBUNE asks of every soldier who may
see this article, and who believes that we right,
to write Immediately to his Representative in Con-
gress and tell him what he thinks of the plan pro-
posed by Mr.. Bentley
If YOU do not want this business of delay and
hindrance to go on any longer IF you want the
useless red tape that prevents justice to be removed
and the 100000 cases now pending to be speedily
and honestly settled, write 10 your Member and tell
him so Tell him that it is disgrace that such a
mass should accumulate tell him that humanity
demands immediate and vigorous action; tell him
that il is his duty to give all the force, in clerks or
otherwise that can be used to bring these to
settlements and that you are unaterably opposed
to any scheme which will increase the delay that is
starving widows and orphans to death by inches,
and that it is his duty to study the subject for him
self and lend his voice and his hand to some official
remedy. Believe us, that the pension laws as they

This was introduced in the House by Mr. Klotz.
of Pennsylvania, at the commencement of the extra
session in May last, and extends the benefit of the
pension laws to all survivors of the Mexican war
and their widows. We have much faith it will
pass Congress at present in session. and shall urge
the measure as one of strict justice and obligation

The National tribune., 1879-12-01


Ger, by his own official showing
If his official record is true then his allegations
of wholesale fraud are alse and in either event he
is unfit for public trust
We deliberately charge that the public bus
ness is hinCered; that the rights of individual
claimants are delayed, postponed and lost; that
the system has been made wholly bad for the
purpose of helping theoretic and mpracticable
vision, of the creation and maintenance of cohort
of perpatetc commissioners creatures and incidents
of the High Commissioner, to sit as courts and to
examine into pension cases.
If Senator or Member goes to Mr.. Bentley on
any case of his constituents, he is met with great
appearance of regret that he do nothing because
the the time of the Office is taken up with these fear
ful frauds and therefore the accumulation of claims
unsettled must go on and the 100000 claims now
admitted to be unsettled will soon, by these perni-
cious delays, vastly increase.
Congress has asked him, by resolution, if more
help was wanted; has rendered him all the assist
ance he would call for; but he wants only his own
pet project, at once absurd and impracticable.
The scheme has been dssected in this paper here
tofore, and the Commissioner has pro6ted by the
dissection, and avoided in his present scheme some
of the extreme foes of his first design. Still the
cardinal defect remains--that obstacles are thrown
in the way of the poorer and more meritori-
GUS class of claimants, obstacles which they can
not overcome that they compelled to attend
before tribunal more or less distant to bring their
witnesses at their own risk and expense. without
any compulsory process to procure attendance
/ The scheme is utterly oppressive and bad--but it
/ is Mr.. Bentley's
There is but remedy for this wretched state OF
things Let Mr. Bentley be retired from the duty
he is not adequate to fulfill and let some one of ex
perience in actual service of large heart and large
brain, thorough lawyer, and just and kindly
man, take the place which, by his wilfuness ant
Iineficiency, he has rendered "wHoLLY BAD"

The Old Decsiver.

1t was amusing to see the air of
Importance assumed by the old
fraud as he briskly entered
a Kearny street restaurant yes
terday. He coughed loudly,
put his hands to his breast
pocket, and said to the proprietor:
"Ahem-ah-I suppose you have
wines?"
"Yes, SIR"
III suppose you have wines fit for
my table ?''
81 have"
"And-ahem-y could let me
taste a sample, I suppose?"
~ can," answered the proprietor,
and he handed down wine bot
tie which he had filled with beer
slops, molasses and buttermiIk for
just such occasions. The old fraud
took a deep 'swig," set the bottle
down, and as he drew his mouth
clear around over his right shout
derblade. he said:
"That goes right to the spot! pll
call in at noon and have you send
up twelve bottles"
When he got out doors he seemed
undecided whether to hold his
mouth open or shut, and NOW and
then he INDUCED in horse like
cough. He halted and looked into
candy store minute, but his
mouth didn't water. On the con-
trary, his scowl darkened, and as he
turned away he said:
