Soldiers who Lost Horses.

In very many queries which continue to
to us especially from exsodiers who were in the western
cavalry service will again state that the law granting
pay for horses lost in the United States service from
causes incident TO the war expired by limitation Decem-
ber 81 1875 Quite a number of bills have been intro
uced since extend the time within which such claims
may be filed and audited and while there has been
particular opposition TO just measure yet the bills
have failed through lack of interest the part OF SEN
ators and Representatives having them in charge and
other reasons. Several bills of this nature intro
duced in the last Congress- which expired March 1881,
sion as render it's passage by the House of Represen
tatves impraccable There is every however,
TO hope that the bill will become law during the session
of Congress beginning next December, and all having
claims of this character should bring them before the
proper department through experienced claims attor
ey without delay, they will be taken the order Of
their fling. See advertisement on last yagel

ARMSTRONG o'HARA.

No solder who served in rebel prison will ever forget
how cruel war s and how inhuman human beings can
make themselves No one who served in Andersonville
will forget the horrors of the living death that he was su
ferng daily In that spot that darker than any other in
the southern page of our war history
Many persons anxious to know how the old pen -
looks and the following information about its pres
condition will be read with interest by both soldiers
and others
railroad about sixty miles from Macon 1t is nothing but
railroad station, and the only thing that characterzes
the spot is the immense Union cemetery twenty
acres, which floats the sar-spangled banner The
cemetery constructed the spot where the prisoners
We're buried and the trenches dug with pre-.
cson and regularity that the soldiers generally
disturbed, but allowed to remain their comrades in
TERED them working under the fixed bayonets of the
Georgia home guard
The cemetery is surrounded by stout brick wall with
iron gate and under the supervision of superin-
tendent who lives the ground. 1t is plain spot
There not much attempt made this city of
marty yred dead Ii would take great deal of even
such influence plants and flowers possess TO dispe the
melancholy memories that haunt this hill in the pine
woods of south Georgia.
Southeneis shun the spot, but the cemetery is much
visited by northern travellers and the register in the
perntendents lodge contains many strange inscriptions
besides the names of the visitors One lady asks forgive
of God for the murder of her brother who sleeps
the cemetery
Occasionally who in the stockade turns up
among the visitors These men, whatever their natural
temper the superintendent says almost be distin
gushed by the effects of fear dread and vivid ecollec
ton which back like shock into their faces as they
again stand on the quiet and sunt of their
periences.
In the cemetery the ground is of general level and
the graves of the known and unknown properly separ
aed arranged in rows closely laid far as the eye
can reach
There actually buried on this elevation Is 7i5 zaen
The soldier whose identity preserved by his comrades
marked in his resting place by white marble stone
rising eighteen inches above the level of the ground
square marble block with the word Unknown" on it
repeated about thousand times in the cemetery.
Part of the stockade is still standing There
rows of trees-one inside the other The outer row
has fallen down, for few posts here and there
but large part of the inner wall still stands Trees
have grown around the old pen and the thick growth
of underbrush now covers the site of the prison.
No traces of the famous brook that through the
stockade remain of the wonderful well dug by the
prisoners. 1t is all mild and peaceful section of
country
Many of the soldiers in the cemetery have handsome
headstones lifted to their memory by friends in the North
and efforts frequently made to have certain graves
kept green " with flowers.

Mr. EDIToR: Your paper has very large circulation
appeal to them Fellow soldiers it is now sixteen
years since the closed and yet we are continually
denied our rights Why is it that the Equalization
Bounty Bill the bill granting land warrants the bill
giving pensions to those who suffered in PRISONS Pen
sion Court Bill, and others that might be named have
not passed? Why is that Mr.. Bentley is still retained
as Commissioner of Pensions? The reason to me is ev
dent We not true to each other We do not look tA
the record of the men for whom vote. Until this is
together band brothers to secure our ends These
are words want to sink deep into the hearts of all ex
soldiers. Yours truly,

TRIAL OF TRAIN ROBBERS.
Indications of an Attempt to
Rescue the PrisOners-COurt,
Room Crowded.

ST. LOUIS, September 27,-Last night
Governor Crittenden received a tele-
gram from Independence stating there
was danger of mob breaking into the
Jail and rescning the Texan train rob-
bers confined there, and asking that re-
peating rifles and ammunition be sent
out at once. A dispatch from Kansas
City to the Associated Press, received
here at 1 80 to-day, says Governor Crit
tenden accompanied by eight marshals,
arrived at Independence this
morning and is in attendance
at the trial of Ryan, one of the Glen
dale train robbers. 1t is the opinion
that in the event of Ryan's conviction
an attempt will be made to rescue him.
A good deal of excitement prevails. The
court room is crowded, and the streets
lined with people from the notorious
locality known as Crackers Neck, who
watch every movement of the marshals
with great interest. A detachment of
the Craig Rifles is in attendance; also
Captain Craig, Police Commissioner Of
Kansas City, and should rescue be at
tempted much blOOdshed will be the re-
suit.

THE PARTY WHIP.
The Republican Central Committee Are
Resolved to Expose "Pretended
ReDublieans"

Republicans"
The following is the article from the
Alliance Review stating "the central
committee" will make black list of
pretended Republicans" and read all
such out of the party if they will not
obey the party whip. The question is:
Is this a free country? Shall free Ameri-
can citizens, white born, living iu Stark
County, have the liberty, as secured by
our laws, of voting as they please? Who
are the petty tyrants that threaten to
publish the names of citizens in black
list, if these citizens refuse to submit to
their dictatiOn? Let us have the mighty
names of this central committee that
people may bow down and worship these
lords of all! But read the article:
The candidates for county offices on
the Democratic ticket, are making their
usual pilgrimage throughout the cOun-
ty, Seeing" a certain class of Republi-
cans and making it "all right" with
them before the election. There is
scarcely precinct in the county where
there is not to be found, one or more
parties, who make it their business to
sell themselves to the Democratic can
didate for Sheriff OF Treasurer, in case
the Republican nominees refuse to be
blackmailed. This practice has been
kept up for years, and the parties have
become we'll known. The matter has
been discussed by the Central Commit
tee, and we are glad to know that
they propose to take the matter in
hand, and SEQ to it that this
class of blackmaileTs shall be exposed.
And in this course they will meet the
appreciation of every honest Republican.
A pretended Republican working
against the nominees of the party, can
do infinitely more harm than an out
and-Out Democrat, and we understand
it to be the purpose of the Central Com
mittee to make list of all such chronic
blackmailers and publish them in the
county papers, and publicly declare
them not Republicans, or entitled to a
voice in Republican nominating con-
ventiOns hereafter. The party would
have been infinitely better off had this
been done years ago. Alliance Review,
September 18th.
So if any Republican in Stark county
dares to exercise his privilege as free
American citizen, and vote Independent
of the ring and "the Central Commit.
tee" he is to be publicly" kicked Out
of the party, and declared not Repub.
lican."
The question is: Are freemen free tC
vote as they wish2 Or, must they vote
as told by "the Central COmmittee?"

We have as yet failed to see any out
and out denial by McGregOr that he

Why this long and dismal silence.-Al-
lance Review.
No one but a low blackguard, like
him, of the lying Review, would
invent anything like the above,
and repeat it as if he thought it smart,
He is the fit organ grinder for the
"small pOx" HartshOrn gorilla institu-

expressed indignant wonder that prOvi-

temptible, unprincipled fellows as those
who publish large majority of Repub-
