The daily Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1878-1???, 1879-02-01

cxtravagant amendment to the appropria-
ton bids which may be suggested by the
senate, there will certainly be no need Of
such session. This they did in the West
Point and Diplomatic bills, and are doing
in the post Office BILL The result Of ac-
qulcscencc on the part OF the house, if not
checked will be to force the next congress
the first Democratic in both branches for
25ycars-to impose further burdens on the
people. 1t will be the first Democratic
congress which will be compelled to put
taxes on tea and coffee, impose any income
tax, and do other unpalatablc things. The
only way to prevent this was and is to sus-
tain the house committee in the ample
sums it deems proper for each department
to receive, or, as might often properly be
done, vote even less sums.
The cipher kilograms investigation yes
terday opened with possible catch of dis
tinguished radicals. 1t was shown by off
GERS Of the w. L. Telegraph Co. that in
1876 p. NJ, General Tyncr telegraphed to
the secretary Of the interior, Chandler,
from Indiana, to appoint two Indian agents,
and that $1,000 would be given by the APP
pointccs, the money to be used in the IN
diana campaign, and that Chandler tce-
graphed his compliance. 1t may be that
this is correct, but | doubt it. The telc-
grams were not in cipher. The proposition
was too gross 10 be made openly or openly
accepted Tyner's explanation is that the
kilograms WERE in a cipher previously
agreed en-, and that the appointment of
two 'lndian agents" meant that Secretary
Chandler who was also chairman of the
Republican general committee, would furn-
ish $1,000 for the Indiana Republicans.
Whatever the true inwardness of these
dispatches may be, the committee made
one important discovery yesterday, which
was that Hayes has rewarded with office
the man who stole from the senate com
mittee room the alleged Democratic cipher
kilograms. This is an important but not
surprising discovery, as Hayes has tried tc
reform all branches of the civil serviac
from the supreme court downwards, by tho
appointment of men who intrigued, stole
forged or committed perjury in the attemp
to make him president.
So much ignorance is shown in usual,
we'll informed papers about the "arrear
OF pension law" that | give again the prin
cipal section of it.
THAT all pensions which have beel
granted Under the general laws regulating
pensions, or may hereafter be granted il
consequence of death from cause whicl
originated in the United States service dun
ing the continuance of the lat
war of the rebellion, or in consequence c
wounds, injuries or disease received or cor
tracted in said service during said war G
the rebellion, shall commence from tn
death or discharge from said service of tn
person on whose account the claim has bee
or shall hereafter be granted, or from tn
termination Of the right of the party havin
prior title to such pension"
Another section repeats the law whc
formerly forbade the completion if nc
completed with five years OF date of film
in Pension Office OF any claim not sustainc
by record evidence. Another section Pre-
hihits the employment Of attorneys i
claims for arrears under the bill notwlth
standing this section papers like the Ne,
York Evening Post and Baltimore SUI
say it is bill for the relief of Washington
claim agents, and that these claim agent
expect to get half The money. They can
not get cent of it. They conld and woul,
be prevented from further practice bci0r,
the public offices. Your correspondent
never advocated the bill, and, before it
passage called attention to the enormous
amount involved but it is plain to any on,
that the bill was carefully drawn with I
view Of putting all the money, much o
little, without expense in the hands of pen
sioncrs. In favor Of the bill! it may be said
also, that the money will receive Il NOR,
general distribution than would be posi-
bic in any other way, and will, nearly all Of
it, go to men, women and children who ar,
both poor and deserving.
