Congress should not adjourn without providing
for the bounty Of our soldiers by passing the bill
now pondins. Certain promises were made to our
citizen soldiers 10 induce them to enlist, which
have never yet been made good, aud justice should
not be longer deferred. A correspondent who is
deeply interested in this question furnishes the
following reasons why congress should act
promptly upon the pending bounty bill
First-Thoso soldiers who enlisted in April and
May 1861 for three months, who did good service,
and ouly received Sll per month and no bounty.
Second-Those who enlisted for three years I'M
der the act OF July, 1861, and who were discharged
on account OF sickness before serving two years.
This class only received from Sll to SIS per month
and no bounty, They certainly ought TO be en-
titled to some consideration. To illustrate the mn
fairness and injustice of this measure we may say
that of the soldiers who enlisted at the same time
fought side by side for twenty.three months, the
one was discharged by reason Of a wound, the
other for disease; the first received 5000 bounty
the second none. This statement of facts needs no
argument, 1t carries its shame with il.
Third--IhOsO who enlisted for 100 days six, nine
and twelve months never received any bounty;
they are certainly entitled to some consideration
for the service they performed. This class would
be benefited by the passage OF the bill now pend.

SIR An old line republican from New York

your columns to give the reasons for his faith in
General Grant as the man of all available men TO
lead the republican party 10 victory through this
'impending crisis" This dcponcnt adheres TO
General Grant,
i. Because he is the eonlyrcpubllcon whose nomi.

@ Because he is the republican candidate most

war-cry OF "anything 10 beat Grant"
g. Because as these INSCRIPTIONS howlers only
served 10 strengthen Grant in 1872, they will not
hurt him with their howlingin 1850,
n Because the only hope or possibility ofa break

nation by the republicans OF II civilian, the "sham

The voeiter Pulp Patent.

An interesting hearing took place before the
house committee on patents yesterday upon what
Is known as the Springer bill TO annul the
Voeer wood-pulp patent. In 1877 The commits
sioner OF patents issued an extension for seven
years of the Voelter patent In accordance with an
net OF congress authorizing application for the
same to bs made. When the bill-which had al.
ready passed the senate-authoriZngt the extension
came up in the house during the forty fourth con-
gress, upon motion 10 take II from tho speakers
table and put II upon It's passage, Representative
Springer objected, but, after consultation with Mr.
Howell then member of congress from Virginia.
withdrew his objection, and the bill was passed
by the house.
Opponents of the extension made the claim that
false representations had been made 10 Mr..
Springer inducing him 10 withdraw his objection
IN the consideration of the bill and that therefore
the extension OF the patent was obtained unwar-
rautaby.
The present bill under consideration was then
introduced by Representative Springer 70 snnul

of the counsel for the paentee, particularly di

the bill ought TO pass, and that in response 10

Representative Springer acknowledged having the

dscamed making any charge of false representa-.
tons the part Of Mr.. Howell, but stated that he
was mised nj the time and supposed it was q house
bill instead of senate bill to be considered other

AT the conclusion Of the evidence, Mr. Causten
