J, D. TAYLOR, Colonel of a National
Bank at Cambridge, aud Republican can
didate for Congress in this district, when
he advocates pension for every nan
who served In the late war, whether dis
abled by disease or wounds, or rot, was
certainly working up his own case. Mr..
TAYLOR occupied the dangerous y po-
sltion of Judge Advocate. His duties
called him to Ohio and Indiana, in which
States there vera not many battles
fought. Mr.. TAYLOR was not in a single
hattie during the war, yet he favors the
measure that would pension h,m for life.
There are hundreds of deserving men,
who were desperately wounded during
the war, yet they cannot obtain pensions
because they cannot furnish evidence to
show that they we're sound when they
entered the service. Gen. WARNER voted
and worked for the passage of bill do
ing away with proof OF soundness when
they entered the service, bat Rspubli.
csn Senate defeated it by loading it with
foolish amendments. These men should
be pensioned; they sacrificed their health
to restore the Union. But soldiers
OF the class Mr.. TAYLOR belonged
to came out strong and healthy, and TO
place them on the same footing with
those soldiers who rendered valuable
service, would be an insult to the deserv.
ing ones.
