THE HILL INQUIRY.
The Prosecution Evidently Determined
to sift n alters 10 the Bottom.

WAsHINeToN, July 21.-Colemap opened
the proceedings to-day before the Hill Ia
vestigating Committee by resdiug au affida-
Wit complaining that The papers called for
by the prosecution were hrrt inspected by the
defense, who bad ample opportunity IT. sup-
press and destroy auy papers calculated TO
damsge the defense.
Totten emph atlcally denisd that he had
examined any papers called for by Coleman
with The single exception OF an unimportant
letter put 10 evidence yesterd y; he also de-
MED that any arers had been Suppressed or
destroyed, and characterized Coleman's
method Of procedure as extraordinary.
Coleman replied that it was matter of
jsst in the Office of the Supervising Archi-
tect that the prosecution had not been
smart enough 10 secure essential papers.
He said the fact that Hill remained in
charge of the official record made the in
vestigation perfect farce 10 the eyes Of the
country, and he asked for his suspension.
The chairman said the committee would
take the matter undsr consideration and sub
nit it to the Secretary. This committee
had no power TO suspend him.
Totten announced that he was prepared 10
begin the defense in the Phlladel phia case.
He understood it had been closed for the
prosecution.
Coleman dec.Gred he mad no Philadelphia
or Chicago Gaze or Cincinnati csse; they were
all parts OF one charge, and he should refuse
TO regard the case closed.
The chairman said it was not necessary to
repeat the testimony given in the Philadel-
phia case. 1n the case of The Chicago and
Cincinnati buildings the committee would
show that the same condition of affairs exist
in these case.
Coleman replied that the frauds were of a

The chairman said the committee would

ELSEWHERE In our columns, this week,
we print number of very interesting letters
concerning the origin and location of the
famous Andersonyille spring. 1t viii be
seen that very great difference of opinion
exists among our correspondents as to the
occasion which led to its discovery, the time
at which it first burst forth, and its relative
position within the stockade There seems
to be some reason for believing, however,
that this confusion grows out of misappre-
hension as to the particular spring referred
to- 1t frequently happened, as one of our
subscribers points out, that prisoners whose
quarters were on one side of the stockade
remained there for months without know
ing what was passing on the other side of
the prison; and, aside from this, as another
subscriber reminds us, the treatment which
our soldiers received there was not specially
conducive to the development Of either
mind OF memory. 1t is but natural and to
be expected that after lapse of nineteen
years the recollections of events occurring at
Andersonyille should be somewhat vague
and confused, and that individual statements
should contradict each other IN many minor
particulars. The dispute between Comrades
Black and Davis, however, diseloses such
an absolute contrariety of opinion as can
only be explained on the superstition that
the spring which the former describes is not
the same as the one to which the latter
refers AS, indeed, might well be the case
So far as the existence and location of what
is generally known among Andersonyille
prisoners as the "proyidential spring, and
which did not make its appearance until
August, 1864, is concerned, the weight of
authority is unquestionably on the side of
COmrade Black.

NEW PUBLICATIONS.

The remarkable success which has been
achieved by the series of military histories en-
titled Campaigns of the Civil War;" has in
duced the publishers Charles Scribner'S Sons.
New York, to project companion series, enti-
tied "The Navy in the Civil War" the first
volume of which is now at hand. The subject
is The Blockade and the Cruisers" and the
author Professor James Russell Sorley, of the
u. S. Navy, whose position and ability emil
nently qualify him for the task. The opening
chapter treats of the condition of the Navy ut
the outbreak of the war, and Professor SOrley
then goes on to describe the measures that were
taken to remedy its deficiencies, leading up
naturally TO the story of the construction of the
first monitor and the consequent revolution in
the method of naval warfare. When ne comes
to the actual achievements of the bloekading
squadrons Professor SOrley style becomes quite
spirited and picturesque, and his account of the
fight between the Monitor and the MerrinIac has
the merit of being graphieas well as historically
accurate. What we chiefly admire in this
book, however, is the iucidity with which the
operations of our cruisers are outlined and the
orderly way in which their achievements are
stated. It gives the reader in few pages an
insight into the plan and scope of the blOekad-

TO be fact, namely, that the success of The
TRIBUNE is having reciprocal effect on the
prosperity of the Grand Army 1t is con-
slant incentive to our comrades to greater
efforts in behalf of the Order, and power
full stimulant of individual interest in Post
work. The broad page of news from every
Department, which THE TRIBUNE publishes
each week, gives our comrades an intelligent
idea of the growth Of the Order and creates a
wholesome rivalry between the various Posts,
while the suggestions that are made in its
columns, from time to time, concerning the
conduct of Post meetings and Camp-fres,
the establishment OF Post libraries and the
institution of Woman's Auxiliaries, con-
stantly afford fresh material for reflection
and discussion. Our Wooster comrade is
right-there is no danger that any Post,
whose members are constant readers of THE
TRIBUNE, viii lose its vitality.

Lying and Sticking to 1t.

Lying and Sticking to 1T.
1t is amusing to note how the newspapers
which have taken part in the recent attacks
upon the character of our pensioners squirm
and wriggle when they are called to account
for their ISLANDERS. The New York Witness
for example, having been taken to task by
one of its subscribers for publishing the
statement that "one-half of the pensions
allowed are either fraudulent or unpeces-
sary," tries to shift the responsibility by
explaining that it "only repeated what the
authorities of the Pension Bureau and the
best informed newspapers have said,' and
eagerly assures its readers that its sympa-
thy was throughout the war, and still Is,
very strong for the soldiers who preserved
the Union and put down slavery" Unfor-
tunately for the Fitness, however, its expla-
natien is even less credible than its original
charge. It's allegation that one-half Of
the pensions allowed are either fraudu-
~S~AS VI unnecessary Wdo GAO1A0t1St~S O@1SNS5H
in itself, but its reference to the Pension
Bureau as authority for the statement is
something worse than that-it Is auda-
cious and downright lying. The Witness
knows perfectly well that no such statement
ever emanated from the Pension Office, and
that it should have the effrontery to claim
that it derived its information from that
source, in view of the fact that the official
report of the Commissioner of Pensions is
accessible to everybody is a striking proof of
the straits to which it has been reduced The
fact is that the authorities of the Pension
Bureau, so far from declaring that one-half
of the pensions allowed are either fraudulent
or unnecessary, have estimated the percent
age of fraUd in the pension roll at only one
tenth Of one per cent. That is all that the
most searching investigation has resulted
In disclosing, and all, therefore, that there is
any ground for supposing to exist. AS to
what proportion of pensions are unnecessary,
that, we beg to leave remind the Fitness, is a
question of law, not of fact It is not the
business of the Pension Office to decide
what pensions are necessary, but what, under
the law, are valid, and SO far as we know it
has never undertaken to volunteer an opin-
ion on the wisdom of the pension laws
themselves If the Witness wants to go into
that question, let it say which, if any, of
the existing statutes are unnecessary, and
what, if any, class of our pensioners do
not need the maintenance which they now
receive.
But the truth is, we suppose, that the
Fitness does not mean anything in particu-
lar by its reference to unnecessary pensions,
and only resorts to the expression for the
purpose of letting itself down easy. 1t is
bold enough so long as no one ventures to
dispute its charges, but the moment proof is
demanded it eyades the issue and has re-
course to contemplate subterfuge.
The National tribune. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1877-1917, 1883-04-05

ment, but the country has need of patriots
in time of peace as well rs war and nation
is never SO secure against the attacks of foes
from within or without, as when its citizens
are truly sensible of the value of the privi-
leges which they enjoy and what it has cost
to secure Them But even in the life of the
Grand Army itself, the organization of the
Sons of Veterans into an independent Order,
cannot fail to be productive of great and en-
during benefit. Occupying as it does posi-
tion midway between that of the soldier and
the private citizen, it viii help to bring the
two closer together; to check the growth of
public ingratitude; to silence the voice of
SANDER, and, finally, secure that recognition
from the Government of the rights of the
soldier, which alone and single handed
he might be unable to wrest from an I'M
willing Congress. The sons of our veterans
are no longer boys and striplings. They are
entering mans estate, and the influence of
their numbers can be exercised In thou
sand different directions in business, society,
and politics, where the prestige of their
fathers is already declining. They owe it
to themselves to WELD that influence in be-
half of the brave men from whose loins
they have sprung. For the sake, therefore,
of what the Order may become to the Grand
Army, as well as what it may become to the
country at large when the Grand Army shall
have passed away, our comrades should fos-
ter and stimulate its growth by every means
in their power. The hand of The TRIBUNE,
we need hardly say, will always be found
stretched out to it in kindly and friendly
greeting.

gentle attentions which none but women
know how to offer To be able to dispense
charity wisely and judiciously, one must be
acquainted with the actual wants of the re-
stoned them, and the manner in which they
may best be relieved, and possess quick
discernment. These are qualities which are
not usually found in a man, but which it is
very common to see displayed by woman.
Woman's tactn is indeed quite as pro-
verbal as the gentleness of her nature.
woods description of the manner in which,
within her own experience, aid has been
where there was evident need of it, that
the work was far more efficiently and In
diligently performed than it could
possibly have been if left to the
blunt and laundering kindness of men. AS
Mrs. Sherwood truthfully says, the same
qualities which lead man to face the can
mons mouth without finching will also help
him to endure misfortune, even starvation
itself, rather than become an aims seeker,
even among his comrades in arms" and it is
a much more difficult matter than most per-
sons suppose, to discover, in the first place,
genuine and deserving cases of distress, and,
In the second place, to relieve them without
wounding the pride Of the sufferer or lessen
ing his self-respect. 1t sometimes happens,
of course, that impositions are praeticed by
professional mendicarts, but that is less
likely to occur when charity is carefully
dispensed than when it is indiscriminately
bestowed. and it is one Of the chief advan-
tages resulting from intrusting Woman's
Auxiliaries with the relief work of the Post
that they are able to make much more
searching inquiry into the merits of indi-
yidual cases than it is possible for the
Post itself to undertake But, really,
all these facts must be obvious to any per-
son who will give the subject the considera-
ton which it deserves and our only object
in calling special attention to them is to
arouse our comrades generally to action.
Every day that they put off the establish
ment of Womans Auxiliaries in connection
with the Post of which they are members
is a day lost The testimony at hand as to
the benefits which these Auxiliaries confer
upon the Post organization is direct and in
disputahle. and our comrades cannot afford
to ignore it.
