The Pendleton bill was then read
at length, at the conclusion of the
reading loud creis of "vote."

ton. Carried by a storm of 'ayes''
amid applause.
Kasson stated it was due the COM
m1ttee to state that some slight er-
rors were in the bill, but yielding to
the manifest wish of the House he
determined the bill should not be
/ count.
The speaker ruling thirty Minutes
debate should be allowed, Reagan,
OF Texas, spoke in opposition to the
Dill on the ground that it was not
sufficient to remedysthe evils COM
planned of.
ToWnShend, of Illinois, favored a
provision providing a penalty for
violation Of the clause forbidding
political assessments by public
officers.
Buckner, of Missouri, favored the
Dill, as it would tend to break up
the Ubiquitous assessment system.
Calkins, of Indiana, regarded the
bill rs a turning point to perfect
civil service reform. If the demo-
Gratis could stand this bill new, he
was sure that the republicans,
with their fellows in Office, could,
He admired his democratic friends
who could take medicine in the
shape of the civil service reform
bill, after having wandered for
tWenty-four years in the desert OF
Sahara. For this reason and many
others he favored the bill.
Anterior, Ohio-You have lost
my vote by that speech.
Willis, Kentucky, said the demo-
cratic party demonstrated to the
country that it was in favor of the
bill and sincere in its support.
Kasson closed the debate with a
short speech in favor of the bill
which, however, he did not consider
50 efficient as the bill previously re-
TOrted by the House committee.
People reYolted against the tyran-
nlcal levying OF assessments on Of
ficeholderS and against what was
called bossism in Congress, and a
provision in the bill would put a
stop to if. He did not favor prohib-
iting private parties from asking for
money for legitimate election pur-
poses for to do that would be to de-
grade the manhood of every govern
ment employee.
Thompson, of Kentucky, would
recommit the bill with instructions

XLVII. CONGRESS.
SECOND SESSION.
SENATE

Washington, 4.-Morrill, from the
committee on finance, reported the
House bill to reduce internal rev.
enue taxation, with an amendment
embracing an entire revision of the
tariff and of the machinery for its
collection. He said: So far as in
ternal revenue taxation was con-
cerned, the committee felt bound to
report, as it was left to the Senate,
whatever might have been their
own views as to the amendment
granting a rebate of the tax on
tobacco. He gave notice that he
would ask the Senate on Wednesday
next, to take up the bill and con
slider it, to the exclusion of all
other business, till it should be DIS
posed of.
Edmunds reported the bill to pro-
vide additional compensation to
witnesses in United States courts,
and said as it was necessary to pass
witnesses from Mississippi In the
star route cases, he would ask its
consideration at an early day.
After the morning hour Sherman
moved to postpone the calendar and
consider the whisky bill.
Hale objected, but the Senate
agreed to the motion, but Logan

slider the West Point appropriation

House overruled Sherman.
The West Point bill was then
passed.
The General Porter bill was post
p0ned till Thursday, with the agree
ment that it should be put upon It's
passage at 2 o'clock on thar day.
The Senate then, 80 to IS, got up
the whisky bill. Hale moved to
amend so as to limit the extension
to whisky entered before January
1881. This would test the sincerity
of the statement that this bill was
merely designed to relieve distress

WE have received copy of the prospectus
of the Veteran Mining Company of Col
orado,' of which Department Commander
E. K. Stimson is president and Assistant
djutant-General Kimberly secretary and
treasurer. 1t comes to us incIosed in the
official Department envelope, and, if we may
judge from our subscribers letters, it has
been extensively circulated We are at a
loss to account for such a departure from
the principles of the Order on the part of
the Department officers whose names are
appended to this prospectus. They have
an undoubted right to engage in any bust
ness project they choose, and we have
no reason to distrust the statements con-
tanned in their circular, but certainly
they exceed their authority when they use
their Official titles and the official station
cry of the Order in connection with the
enterprise. Commander Stimson and Assist
ant Adjutant- General Kimberly owe it to
their own reputation, as well as that of the
Grand Army itself, to recall this circular at
the earliest possible moment. 1t places both
the company and its projectors In false

Prison Eseapes.


The narrative of the escape of three Ohio
soldiers from the rebel prison at Danyille,
Va, which for some weeks past has been pro-
ceeding in our columns, is brought down, in
the present issue, to the suspicious moment
when they at last reached the Union lines.
and were finally delivered from the perils
and priyations, that, during their daring
march of three hundred miles through an
enemy's country, had constantly beset them
Their story is but one of many that attest
the profound loathing in which the Union
soldier held the typical Southern prison pen
and the dangers that he was willing to face
desperation that in nearly every case prompt
ed these attempts to escape, and the dread
Of what would follow their recapture that
nerved the fugitives to pursue their flight
in spite of the hardships which they well
knew they should encounter. There is, in
deed, no aspect of Southern prison-life
which appeals SO strongly to the sympa-
thies as the constant planning on the part
of the captives to effect their escape There
was scarcely moment in the history of
Andersonville when some tunnel was not in
course of excavation, and, as the suffering
and misery of the inmates increased. the
more persistently did they seek an avenue
to freedom. Detection and punishment
often followed, but as often new projects
were conceived and fresh undertakings pro
jected. When one considers the risks which
these schemes involved-the chance of being
shot down in cold blood by the vigilant
guards, the certainty of being tracked by
bloodhounds, the danger of starving on the
way, the possibility of failue through sheer
physical inability to accomplish so long and
difficult a fight-it seems incredible that
any should have been so reckless as to
countenance them, but it is, nevertheless, the
| fact that there were daring spirits in every
prison who were always ready to hazard
their lives at the slightest prospect of regain
ing their liberty. How many of them per-
ished in the attempt; how many, like
Comrsde Hill and his companions, sur
mounted the obstacles in their path and
reached our lines in safety there is no means

A Prophet of Evil.

Judah p Benjamin, the notorious Confed-
crate secretary of state, who fled the country
at the close of the war, and having resumed
the practice of law in the London courts
succeeded in rehabilitating his shattered
fortunes is one of the few leaders of the lost
cause who do not accept the issue of the
struggle as decisive. He still believes in
the righteousness of secession, and despite
the failure of the first attempt to overthrow
the Union is confident that " the structure
called the Federal States of America will
fall apart some day, from its very Weakness
To correspondent who propounded the
question, the other day: What would be,
in your opinion, the most likely cause of
trouble in case of another outbreak between
the States, and where would sthe line be
drawn" he replied:
That I can't say. II may arise between the East
and West, between the territories of the manutac-
turers and that of the agrieuiturists or may even
be rested upon religious differences. Fifty years
u,
already supplied with turbulent population will
be teeming with such elements that no govern
ment of the people can successfully deal with
What new issues may arise in that half century no
one can form any opinion, but the Nation may
well look with apprehension on the next few de-
cades, for firmly believe that in that time there
will have developed such dangers to the Union as
are now not dreamed of.
We do not suppose that much Importance
would attach to Mr.. Benjamin's opinions
under any circumstances, but this particu-
lar deliverance is certainly unique in point of
absurdity, and reveals degree of ignorance
on the part of its author that one would scarce
expect to find in person who had spent SO
large portion of his life ON this side of the
water. Take his first statement, for in
stance. A war may arise, he boldly declares,
between the East and West-between the
territories of the manufacturers and the
agriculturalists,- and he is evidently under
the impression that such geographical limi-
tations really exist, whereas the fact is,
whatever may have been the case at the
