not advocate. deliberately and in cool blood, the
propricfy Of leaving them in their present condi-
ton until their number has been sufficiently re-
duced by death to make the present arrangements
sufficient for their accommodation; who will not
consider ii matter Of self-laudation and Boosting
that he has never been inside the stocade place,
the horrors of which it is difficult TO describe and
which is disgrace to civilization.
Despite this humiliating revelation how
ever, Winder was not removed nor was any
thing done to mitigate the snfferings of the
poor fellows in his clutches
Yet this monster openly declared to Lieu
nant-Colonel Chandler that lie thought
it better TO let half of them (the prisoners
die than to take care of them"
But perhaps the most convincing evil
dence that in letting the inmates of Ander-
sonville die of starvation and disease the
definite purpose, is to be found in the fact
that when the lzind-hearted ladies Of the
neighboring town of Americas, Ga, sent a
train of provisions to the stockade for the
starving prisoners Winder refused to allow
them to be distributed and confscated them
for the use of the Confederate guards.
The fact is that the barbarities which
were inflicted on Union prisoners during the
war were such as to arouse the compassion,
if not the indignation, of the South as well
=
countenance which the president of the de
funct Confederacy gave to such monsters as
Winder and Wuz The policy which they
pursued would never have been tolerated.
In short, the system of starvation pursued
in these Southern prison-pens was part OF
the Confederate State policy, and those who
persisted under it were martyrs in the truest
and noblest sense.

THERE is at least one measure pending
before Congress that there is 10 occasion for
referring to a commission-the equalization
of bounties bill 1t has been debated time
and again in both Houses of Congress; its
merits are well known, and but for General
Grants injudicious veto, it would long ago
have become a law. 1t is deeply rooted in
justice, and the need of it is painfully appar-
ent. Take the case of two soldiers who en-
listed at the same time, from the same town,
aud in the same company and regiment At
the end of two years. service each would be
entitled to two hundred dollars United
States bounty under the law. Just ons
month, however, before the expiration of
this period, one of these soldiers is honorabIy
discharged from the service by reason of dis
ability or ether causes. He receives no
bounty whatever His comrade, on the
other hand, who serves but one month
longer and is not disabled, receives two hun
dred dollars bounty. Is that fair or just?
Is not the first soldier jast as much entitled
TO bounty for the period he actually did
serve twenty three months as the second
10 bounty for twenty-fcur months? And if
so, ought not the equalization of bounties
bill to become law2 All, never will it be
forgotten that it was Of this measure that
our great statesmen, Oliver p Morton

AT d meeting of the House Committee on
Invalid Pensions, last week, Representative
Morrill-an ex-Union soldier and member
of the Grand Army Offered the following
resolution which was unanimously adopted:
ReSotged That it is the sense of this committee
that whenever the Government has enlisted sol
Gier and accepted his services hathe soldier should
not be reqred in order to obtain q pension. TO
prove that he was sound and in good health when
enlisted and that the Government should be
estopped from setting up that the disability ex-
listed prior to enlistment.
The fact of the matter is that the ruling
of the Pension Office, under which appli-
cants for pensions have been required to
prove their soundness at date of enlistment,
never did have any warrant in law. If the
Pension Office accepts as conclusive the
Government record of the hospital treat
ment which claimant received, why should
it not also accept as conclusive the Govern
ment record that he was sound at date OF
enlistment. He could no more have secured
admission to the army had he not been IN
sound health, than admission to the hospital
had he not been disabled.

IN another column, this week, will be
found a terse and vigorous article on arrears
of pensions, written especially for THE Ma
TIoNAL TRIBUNE by Senator John J. ingalls,,
of Kansas, who has been quite as closely iden-
tilted with the Congressional agitation of
this subject as Senator Logan with the dis
cussion of the equalization of bounties bill.
Plain and simple as is the question involved
in the granting of arrears of pensions TO
claimants, who, for various reasons, failed to
make application Immediately after their
discharge from the service ON account of
disability, there is none, perhaps, that has
been the object of more reckless misrepre-
sentaticn, and the clear exposition which
Senator ingalls, gives Of It's nature and ori-
gin must go far towards removing the false
impressions which the public have formed
of its merits. We are happy TO say that
Senator ingalls, has promised to supplement
this article with Others of like force and
purpose in regard to pensions.

For some years past we have been engaged
in compiling register of all surviving sol
diers of the civil war, aud at the present
time this register contains about half a
million names. With q view to It's speedy
completion, we now ask every subscriber to
THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE, and every veteran
into whose hands a copy may come, to drop a
postal card to the Office giving, 1st, full name
and post-ofiice address; I'd, regiment and
company Of which a member; Sd, rank
18th, dates Of enlistment and discharge. In
cases where an ex-soldier has served in more
than one regiment, the same information
should be given as to this additional service.
The completion of this register, We need
hardly say, viii be of inealculable benefit TO
our veterans in aseertainiug the present
whereabouts of their old comrades.
