Pensions for All Ex-prisoners.

In our recent editorial on the action of
the National Ex-Prisoners' Association at
the Cleveland convention, in recommending
for passage by the next Congress the bill to
pension ex-prisoners, known as the Robin
son bill, we failed to mention the amend
ments to that bill which were adopted by
the convention and which very materially
alter the scope Of that measure. The follow
ing is the text of the original bill, from
which it viii be seen that it provides for
pensions for those only who were confined
in Confederate prisons between May /, 1863.
and May /, 1865:
Bill No. $685. introduced by Hon James s. Robin
son, of Ohio, for pensioning prisoners of war who
were confined in Confederate military prisons
during the late war.
Whereas, in May, 1853, the cartel was suspended
and many officers soldiers, and sailors OF the Fed
eral army and navy were confined in so-called
Confederate prisons for unusual length of time.

100000 veterans, and it would be an eternal
disgrace and dishonor if it should fritter
away the power it possesses to secure to our
late defenders the rights of which they have

tablish these heroes forever in the esteem and

entitled to the increase of their pension which this
act may grant them.
This bill the convention voted to amend
by inserting May 1, 1861, "instead of I" May
1, 1863 = and by striking out the words +" the
cartel was suspended y so as TO make it apply
to all ex-prisoners who were confined in
rebel prisons during the war, and in connec-
ton Herewith adopted the following reso-
luton:
Rcsotred, That the above amendments are recon-
mended inasnuch as worthy prisoners of war con-
fined before the abrogation of the cartel would be
debarred
1t is the Robinson bill, as thus amended,
that the convention resolved to recommend
for passage. Those of our subscribers,
therefore, who have written to US condemn
ing the action of the convention on the
ground that the Robinson bill only pro-
vided for the pensioning of ex-soldiers who
were confined in Southern prisons after the
suspension of the cartel, will see that the
convention did not ignore, as they supposed,
the rights of other prisoners, but, in fact,
recognized them in the most emphatic and
positive manner.

A NIason's Affair.

have been troubled for a number of years
with kidney and bladder difficulty; at times
have suffered great deal with the weakness
caused by the Inflammation and intense pains
in the back and loins. / tried many medicines
that wero recommended, but none of them
seemed to reach my case until one day l re-
lated my case to one of our druggists hero in
Auburn. Mr.. Smith was very urgent that
should try Hunts Remedy, for he knew of
many who had used it with wonderful sue
cess. purchased n bottle and used it, and
found a good deal of benefit, and commenced
to improve rapidly, and the pains in the back
were relieved l gained strength and vital
ity, and after using four bottles have been
completely cured, and have recommended it
to others, and give this statement voluntarily,
believing that, from my own case, Hunts
Remedy is all that is recommended, and you
can use this rs you choose for the benefit of
the public. WILLIAM G. CLARK.

LABOR A BURDEN,

For a number Of years my wifo has been q
severe sufferer at times with indigestion and
kidney and liver troubles. She had such Sc
we're pains in the back that she at times be-
came very much dobiltated, and the least
labor was u burden. l feared that it would
terminate in Bright's Disease, as they were
the symptoms. She had no appetite at times
She tried several medicines but only received
temporary relief from any of them until she
commenced using Hunts Remedy, which was
recommended to us by druggist Smith, of Au-
burn, saying that it had been used by II good
many with the greatest success for the cure
of kidney, liver, and bladder troubles. She
commenced using it, and found by the use Of
only one bottle she had been relieved of the
pains in her back, had reg aimed her appetite,
and could rest well and attend to her house,
hold duties, and we can truly say that Hunts
Remedy is most wonderful medicine, and
cheerfully recommend it to the public.

King Richards Bed.

In the town of Leicester the house is still
shown whore Richard III passed the night
before tho battle of Bosworth, and there is a
story of him preserved in the corporation rec.
ords which illustrates the caution and secret
ivenes5 of his character. He was accustomed
to carry among the baggage of his camp a
cumbersome wooden bed, which he pretended
was tho only ono he could sleep on; herein he
contrived secret receptacle for his treasure,
which lay concealed under a weight of timber.
After the fatal day on which Richard fell the
Earl of Richmond entered Leicester with his
victorious troops. The friends of Richard
were pillaged, but the bed was neglected by
every plunderer as useless lumber. The
owner of the house, afterward discovering the
hoard, became suddenly rich without any
visible cause. He bought lands, and at length
arrived at the dignity of being mayor of
Leicester. Many years afterward his widow,
who had been left in great atlluence, was muir
dered for wealth by a maid servant, who had
been privy to the affair." and at the trial of
this woman and her accomplices the whole
affair came to light,
