WASHINGTON, ID. c., April %, 1880 I
DEAR SIR: Your favor was duly re-
ceived, would most cheerfully Introduce
and urge the passage of bill, such as
you suggest, but aeith the present Demo
cratic House pension bills do not hare
much fdrOr. 1t has become almost impos-
sible to get consideration of such bill
at all, and when considering it's chance
of passing the Honse is very remote, and
the Rebel General aohO is at the head of the
Pension Committee in the Senate is still
more dUerse to auOaoing any such bills to
pass 1t would not be at all probable,
therefore, that the bill will be got through.

thinks there is anything in the matter
will very cordially act in the matter.
Very truly. f. E. BELTzHoovER.
L. w. CURRIDEN, Esq.
The above is letter from a Pennsyl-
vania member of congress to lawyer
who was trying to obtain a pension for
union soldiers. As Mr.. Beltzhoover is
a democrat, his testimony in regard to his
democratic brethren, who arc now on
the pension committees in both the House
and Senate, ought to be believed. Sol
diers will please read second time what
he says about pension bills.

DISSATISFIED WITH
THE BOSS.

The Saturday EOening Revies0 thus
reviews, and with apparent reason and
fairness, the management of the Demo
cratic boss during the last campaign in
this state: "The battle has been fought
aud lost; are the Democracy prepared
to gain wisdom from this defeat? We
fear it cannot be expected from the
leaders, judging from the acquaintance
we have with the few of them, but why
not from the rank and file ? There is no
question if the election had occurred i'm
mediately after the work of the cOnven-
tions had been accomplished, that the
majority would have been at least
5000 less, possibly 10000; but with
Boss Atkins wonderfully planned and
admirably (fOr the Republicans execu-
ted campaign of the rebel brigadlers, it
was only question of time whether the
entire Democratic party would not
dwindle down to the leaders and their
sOupes. Atkins, we understand. has
said that this is his last campaign. For
the good of the Democratic party it is
to be hoped that it is. but we fear that
Republican influence will be exerted
sufficient to keep him dancing at the
head of the rapidly diminishing Demo-
cratic column for many year yet.
When the Democrats have at their head
cool hand, man of brains and execu-
tive ability like Davenport or Jennings
or Dickey, and the copperhead bourbon
element is made to take back seat ;
when there is an honest desire to win
permanent accessions to the party ranks,
and men of thought and influence are
not snubbed by the pOppingjay leaders
when the success of principle is the hon.
est effort of those who control the work
ings of the party and not personal ad-
vancement; when the nominations o.
, the party are the spontaneous voice o
! its conventions, and not the result o
. bargain and wise-pulling and doubl
dealing on the part of the committee
when the party machinery is not use'
q to bolster up one newspaper at the ex
e pense of all others with Democratic pro
clivities. then, may Democrats hope t
y gain in Vermont"

The POLITICAL IssUEs.-The Penn

issues of the two parties:
''The republicans stand by the policy
which has created our great manufactures,
has advanced the wealth of the nation at
"A rate without parallel, and has given us
a foremost place in the worlds industries
The democrats declare for tariff for
revenue only, without even indulging in
the common hypocricy of an incidental
protection or protesting to seek this
change in order to open foreign markets
to our manufacturers. The issues are
made as distinctly as words can make
them; and should General Hancock be
elected along with democratic Congress,
then the last obstacle to the overthrow
of our manufacturing system will be re.

The Maine Election.
BOTH PARTIES DISAPPOINTED

The election in Maine on Monday
last was a surprise and disappointment
to both parties. After a very exciting
aud labOrious canvass the republicans
figured out majority of from one to
six thousand. On election day the fus-
ion forces polled an astonishing vote in
all the large cities and towns, and at
close of election it seriously looked as
though they had carried the state by
from one to two thousand majority.
Later, as the returns began to come in
from the rural and distant voting places,
the republican column went up to the
dismay of the shouting democrats. Dur
ing the week, as reports from distant
towns came in, Davis end of the beam
went up. until it is now conceded that he
is elected by 800 plurality over his
fusion enemies. This is a pleasant sur
prise to the republicans and sore dis
appointment to the democrats, who have
had the republicans under the harrow
for some days. The result in the con-
gressiOnal districts is two greenbackers,
Laid and Murch, and three republicans,
Lindsay, Reed and Frye, leaving the
congressional delegation unchanged.
The result of the battle is draw, as
the relative standing of the parties is
very nearly the same as last year. The
attempt to "fuse" the greenback and
democratic elements has been entirely
successful, and the two parties are of
almost equal strength in the state.
The most serious thing to the repub-
lican side, is the fact that the party and
party leaders had all along claimed that
they could carry the state by several
thousand majority. Had they not been
so sanguine and stated the case about as
it was, viz: That the greenbackers and
democrats were working in harmony and
that it was hard thing to beat the two
parties combined, the result would hav,
really carried moral influence for th,
republican cause.
The democrats really out-generaleC

Butler, into another party. With
