Repeal the act? Aye! let them all
Be banished from the statute Look
The more fools they, at Duty's call,
Who happy homes in haste forsook
And marched away with breaking hearts
To fight their country's battles through,
While Money fattened in the marts-
The more fools they, the Boys in Blue!
Repeal the act? Aye! let us blot
From out the blood-stained roll of fame
The victories their valor got,
For men have lost their sense of shame
And gallant deeds are priced no more,
Though once, as falls the summer dew
A Nations tears fell, scattered DER
The Nations dead, the Boys in Blue,
Repeal the act? Aye. why should they
Who answered when their country called
And bore the burden of the fray.
When else We all had been enthralled,
Be billeted upon the land?
Must not bondholders have their due?
The more fools they, that Spartan band
Who saved the State, the Boys in Blue.
Repeal the act? Aye! why should not
The widows tears, the orphans moan
Alike with Honor be forgot
And sacred, bonds be held, alone"
For Money now usurps the place
That Valor won and there are few
To plead their cause and from disgrace
Preserve the brave, the Boys in Blue

A CORRECT VIEW OF THE CASE,

An examining surgeon for the Pension Office in
forwarding his subscription to THE NATIONAL TRIB-
UNE, among other things says
l am pleased to notice that Commissioner Dudley
has taken note of the miserable pittance allowed
examining surgeons.
In many instances could not hire a clerk to do
the writing that to me seems necessary to eucidate
a case presented for examination fer twice the
money paid by the present law.
Insurance companies pay from So to So for their
ordinary examination and So for cases where it is
necessary to examine the urine-and the examina-
ton of urine in their is quite easily performed,
while the great and glorious Nation with capital

most intricate and often greatly masked diseased
conditions of the Nations defenders.
To do justice to the applicant and prevent lmpO-
sition on the Government, the examining surgeon
is compelled to be exceedingly careful and minute
especially in of alleged disease of heart or kid
neys-the most careful notings of the hearts ac-
tiOn rhythm. sounds, impulse, &c. And in the lat
ter class OF cases, the most critical chemical and
microScOpical examinations are necessary. Only by
such examinations can justice be done to the appi-
cant and to the Government

should be retroactive. Only by such an act, as far
