EVERY SOLDIER SHOULD SUBSCRIBE.
o the Editor NATIONAL, TRIBUNE:

To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
received a copy of your valuable paper,
which l deem most valuable journal for the
soldier. 1t speaks boldly in defense of our
brave soldiers who sacrificed their lives in de-
fense of our Government. Thousands of SOL
diers have never received the equalization of
bounty which is to-day justly due them. Your
paper is the only paper 1 have seen that has
the manly courage to come TO their (the SOL
diers) support. 1 feel as though every soldier
ought to take your paper and help to aid you
in the good work you have so nobly begun. If
Congress don't do something before long to
equalize our bounty they will not expect much
support at our hands at the polls.
Respectfully, J. W. MIDDLETON,
Late Priv Co. E, 59th Ind. Vols.

REVIEW OF THE WEEK.

a MEASURE of more than ordinary interest,
especially to e1. 1.soldiers has been reported to
the House Of Representatives by the Committee
on Military Affairs. The effect of its passage will
be to entitle thousands of men now debarred
from pay, pensions, and bounties, to recover
their claims for such against the Government.
BY the provisions of the bill, the charge Of de-
sertion is removed from all soldiers of the late
war who served until the expiration of their
term OF enlistment, or until May L. 1868 but
who, by reason of absence from their command
at the time 1T was mustered out failed 10 re-
ceive an honorable discharge; also from all
soldiers charged with dcsertion or with absence
without leave, but who voluntarily returned
to their command and served in the line of
duty until mustered out of service, and receiv-
ing a certificate of honorable discharge. The
bill is intended primarily to cover the cases OF
thousands of soldiers who after the surrender
OF Lee, believing the war to be over, and inn
patient of long absence from their families, left
their commands and went home without being
mustered out; also of another large class who
had enlisted for number Of years, or during
the war; and who after the cessation of hos
tilitieS considering that their terms of enlist
ment mad expired, also left without waiting to
be mustered out. The provision of the bill re-
lieving from the charge of deserton soldiers
who after absenting themselves without leave,
returned and served out their full term of en-
listment, will also apply to a. considerable
number.

WHAT DoEs IT MEAN p What is the meaning,
Just ON the eve of the day set for the execution
of the assassin of President Garfield, of this
certed attack, all along the stalwart line, upon
the good name Of the dead President! The at
tack is not only cOwardly, bnt is dirty and beast
~. 1t is done for purpose and that purpose is
to make some point in favor os the sta'warts, At
the expense of the reputation Of the murdered
Garfield. At the close OF the past week, third
term satanical sheet at Chicago published long
article, charging that Garfield purchased the
Presidency, and then betrayed the Republican
leaders who secured his election. In order 10
have the attack made simultaneously all along
the line, this article was telegraphed TO the st.
Louis Globe Democrat, rs a special and published
the same day that 1t appeared in the Chicago
paper. On the same day, the New York San,
Arthur's principal organ in that city, opened up
the attack The San slandered Garfield the day
he was shot, and has slandered him almost every
day since. Its present assaults are substantially
the same as those published in the Western pa
pers-charging that Garfield bought the Presi-
dency, and that he betrayed every friend he ever
had, and was brbe- taker and liar. 1t is GER
tainly not for pleasure that those papers have
opened up their abuse af a man who has been
dead for nearly year. 1t is done a preteIt
to Justify some other move that is about to be
made, that public opinion will not sustain. Can
it be that the Stalwarts mean to rescue Guiteau
from the scafold, and want to make of Garfield
a worse villain than Guiteau, in order to justify
themselvesf

- The AtchisOn Champion is mildly ard res
pectfully informed that We have never asked or
expected AtchisOn County TO oppose Morrill,
merely because it was not 10 the interest of Dom
iphan County to do so. But the Champion knows
that large majority of the Republicans of Atch-
isou County are opposed to St. John; it knows
that Morrill, was one of the men who were looked
to to defeat st. John, two years ago, but that he
stepped in and assisted to force him upon the
party; and it ought TO know, if its editor is as
keen as he has the reputation Of being, that Nor

ing made upon the strength Of that obligation.

year, unless Col. Martin is Il candidate, and Nor

tS About the best work, last Saturday, was

That place, unfortunately, has become sort of
headquarters for malcontents. and the straight
Republicans have to suffer their share of the
blaa.c for the crooked vote. The discontented
once were more than ordinarily active, on this
occasion, and everybody conceded that High
land would give considerable majority for the
Morrill, ticket. The fellows who were running
that fraud turned up their noses at the idea of
betting on anything less than 100 majority, and
the other side conceded them about go But
when Highland came in with 9 majority against
the Morrill, and everything ticket, it was evident
that the Republican workers had come to time,
