veteran so,d,srs San ubped.

The Democrats in Congress are bid
ding high for the veteran soldiers vote
and yet on Thursday they absolutely
and tiatly refused to pass the Deficiency
bill Of 81, 600, 900 to pay pension arrear
! ages. This is interesting news to the
veterans Of the lac war, who are enti-
tied to pensions on account of wounds
received from Southern rebels. The
bill was introduced by Mr.. Cobb an In
diana Democrat, who favored its pas
sage, hut it Immediately met the vigcr-
ous opposition OF the rebel brisadiers
Blackburn of Kentucky and Atkins of
Tennessee. 1t is refreshing to know
that Mr.. Blackburn in a suit of Corted-
crate gray haughtily stood up and de-
manded of Mr.. Cobb ihe reasons for
bringing in the bill. The excitement
between the brigadiers and Mr.. c. it is
said was SO great that loud and angry
words ensued. 1t seems that the bill
though reported from a sub. committee
mad not been before the Appropriation
Committee Of wkich the Confederate
brigadier Atkins is Chairman, and con-
sequently had not been closely scruti
nized by Confederate eyes, hence the
oppos ition. When the din and rlauor
was raised against the bill, by the gen.
tleman III gray, il Of course was refer
red to the Appropriation Committee to
be manipulated and reported at some
future time in the far distance. In ,he
the legless, armless, crippled
and manned Union veterans who saved
the nation will have to struggle along i
awhile longer without the little pit
:anc- due them. As an offset to this, ,
IN the same day the stIonse sppropri-
sted $l2j, 600 to build a post Office in d
Montgomery, Alabama, the Republicans
'oting fer it cheerfully. The bill is
aid to have passed in exactly three =
ninHtes. In the face Of all this, hoy
'yer, the Democrats have the audaoi!y
o call upon the Union soldiers to vote
or the Southern rebel brigadier gene
ais in Congress who biggle and hesi-
ate to pay them the poor pittance for
