ITO THE CORONER: take my own
life as | have been charged with an
awful crime, and can't find any en-
ployment in consequence, but l am as
innocent of that crime as a child 'un-
born; but, for all that, l cannot stay
the flying tongues. l have been fear
fully and shamefully misrepresented
and abused in Humboldt and Rye
Patch, where / worked for nearly two
years. l stood their abase as long rs I
could for my family's sake, until l
could not stand it any longer. The
foalest Of language was circulated about
me there, but ] challenge anyone to
say anything wrong of my actions.
With respect, am, sir, yours,
b. j. BAILY."
Andrew, Westfsll informs Us shat
Baily worked at Humboldt Hoase and
Rye Patch, as q waiter in the hotels.
He was very gentlemanly and intelli.
gent man, but before he left Rye Patch

He was never accused Of any crime at
Rye Patch, in fact Mr.. Westfall says
everybody spoke well Of him, SO he
must have imagined what he stated in
his letter to the Coroner, He had q
wife and children in San Francisco.

old Uncle Abe to the undertaken, who
was preparing the coffin for his aged
wife. "Make the bed soft and easy, for
her old bones are tender and soft, and
n hard bed will hurt" lie forgot for a
moment, that old, gray-haired man,
that she was dead-that the old bones
had done aching forever. Sixty-four
years she had walked by his side, a
true and loving wife. Sixty-four years!
Just think Of it, in this age Of divorce.
sixty-four years had they dwelled under
the same sorrows Of life; together re-
joiccd In the prosperity Of their sons
and daughters, and now she has left
him alone. No wonder he forgot. Her

for he had been the feebler Of the two.
''Until death do US part" said the
marriage service that had united them
No many years ago. Death had parted
them. but the love still survived. Ten

years, and now tenderly did he watch

still loved wife. He had bravely
breasted the storm Of life with her by
his side, but now that she was gone,
he could not live, and in a few days
they laid him by her side.-Ex.

SCENE IN the SENATE.
Mr.. Thurman Attacked by sickness
while Debating with mr.. Biaiae.

During the senate debate on the Gen
eva award hill, last Monday, Mr..
Thurman moved 10 strike from Hoar's
substitute the clause instructing the
court Of commissioners TO allow rs
second class claims for payment, pre-
miums for war risks. A discussion
ensued rs to the exclusion Of raj pre-
mIums, In the course Of which Thur
man said, there Is likely TO DO several
millions left in the treasury OF the
Geneva award after all claims made by
the tribunal are paid. lie did not
believe we were under moral obligations
10 return the remainder 10 Great Brit
ain. lie thought II should he distrib-
uted 10 first class owners, then, II n
surplus remained, the same to be dis
tributed TO those persons whose prop
erty vas destroyed 10y the e~xculpated
cruisers.
Blaine defended the cruisers, who
periodically risked everything in de-
fense Of the flag.
Thurman retorted that II was not
patriotism, but business, to sail their
ships sven at n loss rather than let
them rot In the harbor.
During the extended ~colloquy be-
tween Blaine and thurman, the latter
suddenly raised his hand TO his fore
head and seemed about to fall. lie
was then helped into the cloak room.
Thereupon the subject was dropped,
and the senate adjourned.

we can what this bill No 496 does in fact mean
and what may be naturally expected from it's pro-
visions if it becomes law But our purpose now
Is only to expose the underhand methods taken
by high public officer to bolster up by manuiac-
tured public opinion measure utterly bad in ITSELF
and which will cause still greater delay, hindrance
and suffering to the army of claimants who are
waiting for the justice of the Nation, and whose
claims are blockaded in the Pension Office.
The National tribune., 1880-12-01
Bill -Four Hundred and Ninety-six.

We refer all our comrades, patrons and readers
to the exhaustive review we have heretofore given
of Senate Bill No. 496.
We have denounced it and that justly as contri-
vance to enlarge the power and patronage of the
Office by creating six hundred officers to be ap-
pointed by the Secretary of the Interior, but nom
mated in fact by the Commissioner of Pensions
We have stated and stated correctly that it is
slur and an insult upon the large body of examining
surgeons and was intended to be so; that Mr.
Bentley bases one of his chief arguments upon an
alleged want Of professional honor on the part of
these surgeons
We have stated, and state again, that these new
examiners have no power of decision, or even OF
recommendation that they are not allowed to
be judges, in any sense that they are only commits
sioners to take the adidavits of any witness who
may appear, or be produced before them, and to
send on such afiidavits to the Pension office. That
they have no power to issue subpGnas TO compel
witnesses to appear or to punish for not answering.
That they have no sort Of resemblance so Court;
that the United States whom they pretend 70
represent cannot summon any witness, however
necessary, to defend and expose fraudulent claim
That it is physically impossible for them to do
ordinary justice TO pension claimants.
That there must be long and tedious delays for
many of those who want to be examined and delays
made expensive by being at a distance from their
homes and by the necessity OF paying for themselves
and their witnesses while thus dancing attendance
and waiting their turn.
That in almost every pension claim witnesses re-
side in different districts in remote States and ter
ritories out of reach OF the claimant except by
respondence through the mails, and thus an EXAM
inaton began in one State, must be- sent from one
set Of commissioners TO another until all the links
of testimony are complete if ever they can beA
