From 1910 to 1860 the increase of
postal receipts was 81 per cent, and
the increase of postal expenditures
was 2l5 per cent. The postal service
is a very important branch of the Gov
eminent and a comparison of the fig
ures given above with the following,
shows greatly to the advantage of the
Republican party: From 1860 to 1880
the increase of postal receipts was 29l
per cent. and the increase of postal eX-
penditures for the same period of time
was but l42 per cent.

Bentley and the investigating Committee

On Wednesday the 18th of June, the second ses-
sion of the Forty-sixth Congress closed at II M
There is little satisfaction to any one especially
to the soldiers in any completed action of this body
Very little legislation was carried through--much
was attempted Many wise measures put in
motion by prudent Legislators that have been
swamped in committees or remain unacted upon on
the calendar of the House
Among the things of most interest to our readers
was the committee raised by resolution of Mr. Har-
mer, of Pennsylvania, on the 18th January, 1880
for investigation into the methods of the Pension
Office. We print this resolution and the names of
the committee in another column and ask the spe-
cial attention of our readers to it,
All the gentlemen this committee have con-
stantly appeared disposed to ascertain the facts so
that they might apply some remedy to the gross
abuse admitted to exist.
Had their demands for information been promptly
met by Mr. Bentley they would have been ready to
report but he has evaded and delayed furnishing,
to the committee the necessary information from his
Office.
The National tribune., 1880-06-01
Adjournment Of Congress.

Congress as most of our readers are doubtless
aware adjourned on the 10th Of this month What
has it done for cur soldiers? Why, beyond the pas
sage ofa few private bills for their reief--Nothin q
Who is responsible for this neglect? We answer no
special individual or political party. Two reasons
may prominently be assigned for this culpable in
difference to soldiers interests
First The lukecarmness of soldiers They
have failed to bring to bear upon our Senators and
Representatives that influence which induces action
in their behalf We do not mean pecuniary in
fuenee but that obtained by individual and collec-
tive effort through correspondence. If every sol
dier had written to his Congressman once week
during the session urging the passage Of the Equal
ization Bounty ere this it would have been the law
of the land The same may be said of the Mexican
War Pension Bill the Geddes Pension Court Bill,
and other measures beneftting our soldiers And
in addition to these Individual efforts town county
and State organizations of soldiers should have
brought their effective power to bear upon the
National Legislature This has not been done to
any extent and hence the result.
Secondly: The Presidential Contest This ques-
ton is like the rod of Moses which swallows all
others, monster pike in a mill-pond which
devours every smaller fish, and from the lst of De-
cember till the time of meeting of National Conven
tons every four years. Senators and Representatives
are unfortunately far devoted to wire-pulIing
and wire working behalf of special candidates for
the Executive Office than in attending to the public In
terests But we withdraw the remark that nothing
has been done on behalf Of the soldiers John A.
Bentleys abominable bill--his travelling Court to
rob soldiers of their pensons-has been fought down
and we claim large share in bringing about this
result. The Pension Court Bill introduced by Hon
G. w. Geddes Of Ohio, is generally endorsed and
we hope and expect it will early become a law at
the next session and the committee charged with
the investigation of the Pension Office have been
doing glorious work which will probably be pre-
sented to the House of Representatives soon after
its meeting next December. It's publication broad
cast over.the land viii trust lead to the certain
removal of "The Old Man of the Sea- Bentley
from the back of the soldier 1t is said in the an
cient hymn: 'tGod moves in a mysterious wayn
and we trust He is ordering all for the good of our
soldiers. Between this time and the next meeting
of Congress in December, many questions of the
deepest interest to our ex-solders will be discussed
and we trust to gather Inspiration from them,
through our correspondence, in carrying out the
great and good work of securing their just rights
and warding off the blows aimed against their in
terests
