Interesting Statistics for Union Sol
diers.

The Washington Republican gives
statistics of the present Democratic
Congress showing Union soldiers and
Union men how little they have to hope
for from the Democratic party; and
proving the arrogant boast of the
Ob0l0nd Southern States that the Con-
federate soldiers have camped in the
Capital and intend to rule the Nation.
The points brought out are that the
Confederates furnish two-thirds of the
entire Democratic strength in Con-
gress; that, of one hundred and ninety
nine Democratic members in both
houses of Congress, only thirteen were
Union soldiers; that the Republicans
have not elected one single Confed-
crate soldier to Congress. The figures
are as follows:
