Hon. r. T.. Taylor, of Tennessee.

This gentleman whose residence is Carters De-
pot Tennessee, is candidate for reelection to the
House. Union soldiers vote for him. He is
faithful and honorable member of the Committee
Invalid Pensions of the present House and in
speech in the House last winter relative to the
management of the Pension Office under Mr.. Bent
ley, said:
desire to say for the benefit of the gentleman from
Ohio and other gentlemen this floor that the Com
mttee Invalid Pensions, when bill is referred to
them send to the Pension Office for al the papers in the
They examine those papers, and if the evidence
therein contained they believe that injustice has been
done the soldier that his application for pension has been
disaowed, perhaps little technicality they
slider the avoraby 1t is notorious in this country
that the Pension Office is killing meritorious claims by
the thousand every day. No body uHder the is
sponsble for the flood of pension bills coming into Con

two years, and $500 for three years But it turned
out that owing to the construction of the laws and
the rules established by the War Department many
honorably discharged soldiers did not receive their
bounty at all Under the rule adopted If the sol
dier served FIVE months out of six but dis
charged from wounds or other cause he lost the
bounty So if he served two years and six months,
he only got 5000 for the time instead of $3.50. In
other words to get the bounty he must serve out
the full term If he was discharged for misconduct,
If he was deserter, If he was shirk, the case
is different; but this bill only applies to honorably-
discharged soldiers 1t takes basis the rate of
bounty provided by law the rate Of $100 year,
but provides that he shall be paid by the month and
not by the year so that if he served two years and
six months and was then discharged from sickness
contracted in service or on account of wounds
received in battle, he would receive bounty for two
years and six months, and would not lose the last
six months bounty because he did not serve out the
remaining six months.
"Now want to know who can resist the justice
of that 1t is simple question of absolute down
right justice. Suppose you hire man to work on
your farm at the rate of 5000 year he works for
you faithfully six months and then dies, perhaps on
account of disease contracted in your service and
you should refuse to pay him the six months he has
worked because he has not worked out the whole
term--then you have got the case exactly. 1t is
simple proposition to pay bounty for the time
served according to the principle established by the
UOVeTnlneut IOF Inc Iuii Uerln Aht UONcIumCAe
says, 1--WE will pay you 500 year, but under the
construction given to the law you must serve the
year out" We say that is not right Ii you serve
six months, then you get six months pay, or if you
become sick or fall from wounds or were killed in
battle, you should have the benefit of it alive or
your family if dead The principle of justice is so
absolute and downright, that it seems to me that
nobody can resist it,
|" Mr. President, justice to the soldiers cannot al
ways be deferred 1t must and will triumph some
4 time If it does not come this Congress, it will
come at some other Congress. 1t is part of the
war debt as much so as the $50 bonds or the l040
bonds. 1t is founded on the same principle of JUS
tice 1t is obligation resting upon this nation,
and if it takes 500 00O, ,OO0 600, can make
no difference 1t is debt this nation honestly owes
and it ought to be paid. In other words, let the
bounty be equalized; put all honorably discharged
soldiers upon the basis; pay them at the same
rate They are entitled to it. The justice of it no
man can dispute and that is all that this bill con-
templates. / am for it. / vote for it with all my
heart"
:, Congress will assemble in December next Who
y will enter the lists the champion Of the soldiers
then? Who will grasp the sword to fight for the
!. soldiers which Oliver Perry Morton once so ably
welded?

A Sad Tale,

Awoman giving her name as Mary Reed,
aged "a, attempted suicide in Glastonbury,
Conn, few days ago by plunging into the
river. She was rescued and related most
pitiful story She said that four years ago in
Biddeford, Me-, where her relatives now re-
side, she was married to Owen Reed, with
whom until recently she had lived happily
Some months ago she and her husband remov-
ed to Glastonbury, where they found employ
ment as mill-spinners. All went we'll until
her husband became acquainted with woman
named Lucy Luce, soon after this time he be-
gan to ill-treat his wife and neglect her. On
Wednesday with the Luce woman he went to
Hartford and was followed by his wife, who
walked as far as Wethersfield and then rode to
Hartford in the horse cars. Upon her arrival
there the poor woman was unable to find her
husband, and passed the night in boarding
house on Wells street. On Thursday she re-
sumed her search and continued it through the
night. In the morning, worn out and exhaust
ed she made the attempt to take her life. In
response to further inquiries she said that she
had two brothers living in Maine who would
care for her.
