The Connsrx,s Panic nerE

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. The report
Of the Commissioners of Pensions for
the fiscal year ended June 80, 1882, con-
tains a number of suggestions for the
remodeling and simpiitication of the
bounty land laws so as to equalize the
benefits TO all the classes of persons to
whom title is already given under the
law. 1t also suggests that the grades
of pensions be amended 30 as to provide
for a more equitable distribution, max
ing disability rather than rank the
measure of the pension.
Commissioner Dudley states that
there are now III grades of pensioners
and says there can exist no good reason
in pensioning q volunteer force, when
for the same disability q lieutenant
colonel shall receive $50 per month and
private soldier but IS, both having
been drawn from and returned to the
same walks of civil life. In regard to
the question of desertion, the Commits
sioner holds that the law should be
definitely settled, so that aesertion sui
seduent to the incurrence of adisability
shall not operate as bar to pension
claims.
The number of pensioners now on
the list is not given, but the statements
are made that of the 2,063,3 soldiers
who enlisted during the war pensions
have been applied for, by, or on &C.
count of only tweuty-six per cent.
The report concludes with the state
nent that from the best available in.
formation it appears that there is d
surviving soldier population of a III
tie over l, ,Oo0,0 900, out of which claims
for pension in the future Tay be made
by those who incurred pensionable dis
abilities,

ugly blows were given and received, the
men finally clinching and pummeling
each other soundly, and finally retiring
TO their separate corners thoroughly

When time was again called Hadley
assumed the offensive and drove his
antagonist all about the stage, chased
him twice into the dressingroom and
wound up by stretching him upon his
back on the floor.
Grants hackers then threw up the
sponge, and Hill declared hadley the
