A KIND ACT.
The Way FOIger Treats WOrn-Out Em-
plOyeS.

Washington Special to COurier-Jour.al oct IS.
Secretary Folger is kind and
gOod-hearted old gentleman. John
Carroll, for ten years a watch
man at the Treasury Department,
has been going down to the grave during
the past year with consumption. One
hundred and eighty days ago he grew so
weak that he could not leave his home
and report for duty. He has been carried
on the rolls of the Department, however,
and by his salary has been enabled to
liquidate the usual heavy expenses to a
long illness without becoming a burden
to anyone. Six months in Il room with
consumption will waste away the strong
est physique. However, when the cOndi-
ton of John Carroll reached the Depart
ment a few days ago he was marked for
Already the time which man
may remain away from duty had
more than passed. He was dropped from
the pay roll yesterday, and the notice
reached him last evening. He did not
sleep last night, and this morning car
riage brought him to the Treasury De-
partment. His weight was 80 pounds, a
skeleton animated. He entered a room
occupied by the watchman, and requested
a talk with the SECRETARY. The watehman
! announced to the Secretary that John
| Carroll, yesterday discharged on account
! of prolonged illness, was in the room of
| the watch, and asked that he be granted
| the privilege to see him, the Secretary, at
! his room. The Waterman added: Gar
roll is a mere skeleton, poor fellow, and
can't live many weeks. He has cOnsump-
| tiOn, and says he has no other means of
| support than the salary he has heretofore
drawn from the department. Shall we
carry him up to see you. He says he won't
bore you but moment"
Secretary Folger's eyes glistened with
tears, which he brushed aside as he re-
piled: "NO, do not ask him to withstand
that ordeal; poor fellow, he ought not to
be out on such day as this. No, / will
go down and see him."
The old watchman, whispered but few
words to the Secretary, Che was too weak
to speak aloud, when Mr.. Folger admon-
ished him not to talk further, saying,
go to your home and have no more care
for your position; your dismissal shall be
revoked this day and you shall never
want"

ON THE NAR'SFIRST FIELD
SURVIVORS OF MANASSAS RE.
VISIT THE BATTLE-GROUND.

The Location of the Different Com
mands During the Engagement and
the Collection of Other Historical
Data the Object of the TOur-FederaIs
and COnfederates in the Party.
WASHINGTON, Oct. ia number of
survivors of the first and second battles
of Bull Run to-day visited the old battle
field, with the object of refreshing their
recollection in regard to the position of
the different commands during the en-
gagements, and to aid Major Slime in the
collection of data upon which to found a
history of the First Army Corps. The
party numbered about $50 persons.
Among them were the following: Gov. Lu-
cius Fairchild, General Rosecrans, Colo
mel Dudley, Gen. William Birney, Gen.
Joe Dickinson, General Wood. Capt.
J. FL. Slime, Col. William H. Boyd,
Col. William E. Rodgers, Col. A. NJ.
Wood, Col. c. G. Matsen, Gen. II. J.
Hunt, Maj. Halstead, Maj C.. E. Lewis.
Capt. c. D. Crandall and Gen. R. B.
Ayres. General Longstreet. Colonel
Burkit, Captain Tyler. Colonel Yansill.
Maj. Alexander Hunter and Major Thorn
ton of the Confederate army also Joined
the party. A special train conveyed the
party to Wellington, Va, near the field,
when they took vehicles and spent the
afternoon in visiting points of interest.
The first stop was made at GrovetOn.
where the second battle of Bull Run be-
gan, on August 2S, 1862, and Governor
Falrchild gave short description of the
engagement. which he said he couldn't
remember distinctly, owing to the lapse of
time and to the fact that he was somewhat
frightened when it occurred. His remarks
were dry and witty, and created much
mirth. The position of Colonel Dudley's
command was identified by an ancient
chicken coop, and this incident also ere
ated hearty laugh. Major Thornton
then gave Il concise and graphic descrip-
ton OF the first days battle from the Con-
lederate standpoint, which was heard
with marked attention by the veterans.
He said that Hayes Brigade, composed
OF but four regiments, was the only Con-
federate force opposed to the Union troops
on the evening of August %, 1862. Gov
ernor Falrchild stated that 600 out of
1000 Union troops engaged were killed in
45 minutes.
Under the leadership of General Rose
cranz the party then visited GrOveton
monument, Sudley Church, the old hospi-
tai, the store house, the Henry House,
the scene Of StOnewall Jackson's cele-
brated stand, the railroad cut, and other
historical points. At all these places
few traces remain of the great conflict,
and with the exception of an occasional
shot-riddled house and stray shell
turned up by the plOw there is nothing to
remind the visitor of the two battles OF
Bull Run. The party were we'll pleased
with the visit, and its results in "A histori-
cal point of view are said to be highly
satisfactory

An Old Pictnre Found.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.-There has been
found in the dusty vaults of the District
buildings an historic, If not an artistic,
treasure in the shape of a painting, eight
by ten feet, pOrtraying the surrender of
CORVALLIS, with all the brilliancy of color
and quaintness of conception and eXecu-
ton which characterize the paintings
from the brush of George Washington
Parke Custis, whose work it is. 1t was
the property of the original Washington
Light Infantry in ante bellulR days, and
was lost in the stOre-room of local pic
ture-dealer. 1t came into the possession
of the District ten or twelve years ago by
the payment of storage. General Bacon,
as an original member of the infantry,
traced the picture to the custody of the
District and has made request for its re-
turn to the present Light Infantry Corps,
which request will be acceded to by the
Commissioners. The picture represents
Washington and his staff, mounted, re-
ceiving the swords of CORVALLIS and his
generals, on foot. In the background is a
view OF the vessels in the harbOr.

pain, suddenly jumped up and threw the

THE PENSION LIST.
The Uses of the Confidential Circular
Activity of Claim a gents
WASHINGTON Special. oct. Is.


Thus far the Pension Bureau has re-
ceived only one communication in an
swer TO the publication of names of pen
siOners. In this one case the writer men,
tiOns three persons whose names appear
in the list that he believes are not enti-
tied to pensions. In this case and in all
similar cases which may arise the "cOn-
tidential communication circular of the
bureau Will be sent to the complainant.
This circular is a request for all infOrma-
tiOn at the command of the writer, to-
gether with names of witnesses from
whom evidence may be obtained. The
answers will be considered cOntiden-
tial if the complainant so desires,
but the rights of no man will be de-
termined upon confidential communica-
tiOns. The case will be settled upon
by proper testimony taken in presence of
claimant or with his full knowledge.
Commissioner Dudley believes that the
publication of the list was a wise measure,
as he is informed that all pension attOr-
neys of this city have already begun to
distribute their circulars by the thousand,
and are working their full office force
night and day in mailing them to pen
SiOners. Commissioner Dudley estimates
that each pensiOner drawing less than
$50 per month VIII receive from five to
fifty claim agents here urging him to ap-
ply for an increase. The result will
doubtless be a flood Of applications upon
the Pension Office, which will cause delay
i'm the regular work Of the bureau and clog
the progress Of cases now on file, as all
applications must receive attention. The
Commissioner warns pensioners against
being misled by the seductive circular of
the claim agent unless they feel perfectly
certain that they are not receiving their
Just dues at present, as Il re-eXamination
may result in a decrease instead of an in
crease in the pension already being paid.
The attention of the Commissioner was
called to an editOrial-in a Western New
York paper suggesting that the Grand
Army of the Republic and similar Organi-
cations should 30 over the list of names
in their districts and ascertain, if pOssi-
bic, whether or not any of the list were
obtaining pensions under misTepresenta-
tiOn. General Dudley said that the idea
was an excellent one, and if adopted by
the Veterans Associations throughout
the country, it would greatly aid the
Pension Office in detecting fraud, if any

ray, of Utah. has made report to the
Secretary of the Interior on the condition
of affairs in the territory with reference
to the Mormon problem. He says that
combination to nullfy the laws of Con-
gress has long existed in Utah. This
conspiracy held open rebellion at one
time and continues at all times to eyade
and defeat the plain win of Congress and
the President and adjudication of the Su-.
preme Court. II am compelled to warn
you, MIR. Secretary, and through you the
country of the dangers that beset the
country in this irrepressible conflict. and
to make in this report an
earnest appeal for the adjustment
of all wrongs and the establishment
of good government in Utah by Congress,
which undoubtedly possesses the power,
and | may be pardOned for saying that |
believe it to be its duty to do this quickly.
The history of all the States demonstrates
that times come when military aid is
necessary to support the civil authority.
L know of no reason that takes Utah out
of this rule. The Utah militia, organ
Eed under the law and proper procla-
nation of my predecessors, but pur-
posely organized to be Independent of the
Federal authority, is not and cannot be
made available. 1t therefore only re-
mains for this Territory that the mill
tary forces of the United States be
made available, and | present with
the necessity the recommendation that it
be made lawful for soldiers Of the United
States to be used for the execution of pro-
.cesses out of the United States Courts in
the hands of the United States Marshal of
Utah, and that their services under
proper restrictions in case of riot, insur-
rection, domestic violence, and for the
preservation of peace may more readily
he made effective than under the present
provision of the law. | trust, however,
that such security of person and property
as is right and which every citizen may
reasonably expect will be granted to all
alike here" He says further that at no
time since 1852 has there been a lawful
territorial government in Utah.
