On the 25sh OF December last mention
was made in the MoRENe NEWS Of the fact
that an overcoat had been stolen from the
Office of Mr.. Levi 8. Hart, on Bryan street.
the preceding day during his temporary
absence. No clue was had to the thief,
who, proHting by the 6rst. paid second
visit to the Office Of Mr.. Hart, on the 5th Of
January, opened 3 drawer In his desk and
took from g box found therein the follow
ing articles: Two gold breastpins, two
gold rings, two gold pencils, one gold chain,
q pair Of silver sleeve buttons, with initials
engraved, pair Of gold sleeve buttons, q fire.
mans badge, charm, and red Morocco card
box.
Efforts to discover the thief were unsuc-
cessful until about three weeks since a coll
ored cir, named Annie Hamilton entered Mr..
Hart's Office to see him on business. when
he instantly recognized on her one OF the
gold breastpins which had been stolen in
January from his Office. The articles were
old family relics, and were easily identified.
He left the girl in the Office, telling her to
wait few minutes, and fastened to Msgis-
traTe Molina's Office, whom he appraised of
his discovery. The Magistrate accompanied
him to the office, but Annie was not there.
probably suspecting the cause Of Mr.. Harris
sudden departure, and his injunction to her
to remain until he returned. The girl was
not seen again until Friday, when she again
came to Mr.. Harris office, but did not have
on the breastpiR. Mr. Hart promptly arrested
her, however, and carried her before Msgis-
trate Molina and charged her with larceny,
Annie Indignantly denied the charge, and
said she knew nothfn- about the jewelry
and had never seen It. Mr.. Hart persisted
In his declaration that he had recog-
nized the stolen breastpin, on her and
Magistrate Molina informed her that he
would have to send her to jail. At this
fessed that she had stolen the articles, ana
II an officer were sent with her she would
get them. An officer was dispatched with
her, and the result was the recovery
OF all the articles, except the morocco card
case and gold ring, the latter having, 1t is
supposed, been sold. Annie was yester-
day committed to Jail to appear for trial at
the session of the City Court this afternoon.

A Word to Ex-SOldiers.

THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE is being continually
appealed to by applicants for pension for the post
office addresses of officers or comrades of the SOL
dier or sailor upon whose services the claim is
based. So far as in our power respond to such
requests but often find that We cannot furnish
the required information.
With view to increasing our usefulness we
ask that commissioned officers, and especially
surgeons and assistant surgeons of regiments or
detachments, who see this article, will be kind
enough to send their full Names rank, organiza-
tions with which they served period of service,
and present address to THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE,
and that officers of the Navy, giving names of
vessels, will do the same
We further ask that members of the various
regiments, knowing the addresses of any of their
officers, will also send them to this Office where
register will be kept accessible to all subscribers
having claims pending, through the correspond
ence column, without charge.

The Spy System Doomed.
any one.

IT HAS BEEN pretty well ascertaned that Com
missioner of Pensions Dudley proposes to so
modify the Special Service Division of his De-
partment as to render it unobjectionable to every
honest pensioner and claimant. The spy system,
as carried out by Mr.. Bentley his predecessor, is
doomed Hereafter there will be no more stabs
in the dark. The accused will not only be con-
sidered innocent until the contrary is proven by
competent evidence, but will also be allowed the
privilege rather the right accorded to even the
meanest criminal in the land, but which Mr. Bent
ley denied those against whom his suspicious were
directed, of knowing the charges preferred and
the names of the witnesses testifying in support
thereof The new Commissioner can take no step
better calculated to win the confidence of the
soldier element than the one leading to the aboli-
ton of the despicable system which seeks not
justice, but reduction of the pension list, even
though the reduction be made at the expense of
the regulations of honest men and women who
have just claims upon the Government
The National tribune., 1881-08-20

As regards other political questions, those Of a
purely partisan character will be ignored, or, if
discussed at ALL will be dealt with independently.
National issues-the tariff shipping interests, in
internal and other affairs-will receive support
or opposition as in our Judgment the interests of
the country demand Our views upon these mat
situation may seem to require; but in no event
will any such side issues draw away from the
main objects we have in view, viz, the advance
ment of national ideas and of the welfare of those
who were the country's defenders in war, and
who should be the subjects of its continuing and
substantial regard in time of peace.
The National tribune., 1881-08-20
A Pension Defined.

IN HOUSE REPORT No, Ga, FOrty-fifth Congress,
second session, we find the following definition,
showing what pension is. We quote:
"The pensions of soldiers disabled in the line
of duty are in no sense gratuity, but are sup
ported by contract made by the Government with
them at the date of their enlistment that if dis
abled they should have pension. The consider
alton is the service and blood of the soldier The
parties were competent to contract. The subject
matter was neither in cOntraventiOn of law nor.
of public policy, but was expressly authorized by
law and promotive of the public good. 1t has
every ingredient of contract, as defined by all
the law-books The pension was predicated on
the sole condition of the soldiers disability in
the line of duty, and upon the happening of
which condition the engagement of the Govern
ment became perfect, vested right, and was the
property of the soldier as much as any bond which
he may have held on the Government or other
chooses in action which he may have owned"
After such clear and authoritative exposition
of the question: the pensioner need not hesitate to
make his claim good for fear of having it said that
he is accepting aims.
The National tribune., 1881-08-20

FOR NINETY-sIx DOLLARS each year at the out
side men were expected during the late war to
give an arm, or a leg, or the strength of their
manhood whenever occasion demanded For
ninety-six dollars year, to be paid to a wife or
child, or other dependent dear one, they were ex-
pected to lay down their lives, if necessary, on
the field of battle, or in the dreary hospital, or
prson-pen; and they did it by scores of thousands;
yea, by the hundreds of thousands. Now that
the country is prosperous and firmly united
through the sacrifices they made, let the crippled
survivors and the widows and orphans of the
dead be generously cared for.
