LAIRD,s pE,NsIoN BILL.

The Committee on Invalid Pensions viii. it
is said make strong effort to secure, before
the adjournment of the present session of Con-
gress, the passage of the bill prepared and in
PRODUCED by Hon. James Laird, of Nebraska,
amending the pension laws so IS TO correct
grave injustiees now inflicted upon deserving
applicants by existing laws and regulations.
The chief provisions of the measure are: list,
that the soldier who passed examination by
the surgeons of the United States and was reg
ularly mustered in, shall be presumed to have
been physically sound when so accepted; ID,
that after three months service IN the field,
all injuries sustained by him while IN the serv-
ice shall be presumed to have been received in
the line Of duty, unless proof IS shown to the
contrary, and, Cd, that all pensioners. or appli-
cants FOR pensions. shall have the common
law right Of being made acquainted with the
names Of their aecusers in the event Of any
charges being fled against them IN the Int
rior Department.
IAefe are other provisions IN the oil OF an
equally salutary nature in the line Of justice
and humanity to orr soldier heroes The COM
mittee in recommending its passage reeite
these in detail, and say that in their opinion
ali these provisions should have long since been
enacted into law
There is probably hardly a member Of either
House Of Congress from any loyal State whose
correspondence with his constituents win not
reveal number Of cases Of hardship and in
justice which this carefully prepared and well
considered bill viii relieve. MrLaird himself
has bsen iadefatigable in urging its passage, as
well as other kindred measures IN the soldiers
interest, and both he and the committee are
oyerwhelnined with letters praying for favor
able aud immediate action.

An unpleasant exhibition of spirit was made
at the recent Reunion Of Hoods Brigade, al
Dallas. Tex. Mai. Martin. the President of
the association, reported, while in the chair,
that Gen. Hoods children, whom, It will be re-
membered, are being supported and educated
by the Brigade, were getting along all right.
The two eldest sons are at school in Germany
and the older children are in good hands in the
North" But, after yacatiug the chair Maj
Martin made an impassioued speech. in which
he demanded that The children should be edu-
Gated not in Europe, or the North, but in Texas
This was received with loud applause. Why
should the members of Hoods Brigade be 50
anxious that Hoods children be educated only
in Texas? Can it mean anything else but a
fear lest the children should learn to be proud
OF, and loyal to, the whole Nation. instead Of
giving their supreme allegiance to that small
tract Of it lying between the Sabine and the
Rio Grande2

Alex. Robert Chisholm, who was an Off
Ger Of Gen. Beauregard's staff, writes letter
to refate the statement made by Gen Hardee
that the fall Of Gen. Albert Sidney Johnston
and Beaures4rJ's orders to retire from the
tight cheated the rebels out of well-yyon vic
tory at Shiloh Col. Chisholm states, and cor
roborates his statements by ample evidence
that the order TO cease fighting and retire for
the night was not given until about o'clock.
At that time, although Gen. Hardee was still
lighting brayelg, his corps had been brought to
d definite standstin good while previous, and
it was badly broken and scattered. An attempt
to urge it forward anew was signal failure
it had been too badly punished --and several
regiments broke and could not be rallied.
What was true Of Hardee's corps was equally
true of Bragg's and Folks Not another effort
could be got cut of any of them This testi-
mony supports the claim Of the Army of the
Tennessee that ts4ey had finally repulsed the
enemy before the Army of the Ohio came up,
and with Wallace's fresh division would have
been able the next day to drive the rebels
back TO Corintb, even if Buell. had not been
there to help.

is 1T WORTH wHuEa

The accumulated pension schemes now before
Congress have assumed the proportions Of legisla-
tive insanity. Congress is considering with fe-
verish earnestness projects which, had they not
reached their present dimensions by insensible
gradations, would be regarded as the chimeras of
madmen.
Ii is planning burdens for the American people
which will be oppressive than those which hex
standing armies impose upon Germany
Intelligent members of Congress should pause
aud consider whittier they drifting.-New York
san.
This is q fair specimen of the nonsense with
which the people are deceived and prejudiced
against the soldier It is not true that the
proposed pension plan is something unprece-
dented. Undoubtedly the amount required is
enormous, but so were the armies raised during
the rebellion, and so are the numbers and
riches of the people upon whom the burden
tails. This is great Nation in every way, and
it counts thousands in men, dollars, acres and
square miles where any other counts hundreds
This fact is forgotten by the imported writers
! on the New York papers who have been ac-
cusiomed to studying the pigmy proportions of
Of oid-world nations.
Another thing: The most extensive and
costly pension scheme yet proposed is not
compared with our people and resources-any-
thing like so extravagant as the rewards which
| the English, French and Germans have heaped
on their successful generals
Remember the money and the estates which
the English piled on Marlborough and Well
iGgton; which the French lavished on Napoleon
aud his marshals, and which. after the Franco
Prussian war, the Germans bestowed upon Bis
marck, Won doltke, the Imperial Princes. and
other favored onesl Taking the relative
wealth Of the countries, these were enormously
greater than the 240 millions which it is
asserted it win cost TO carry the proposed ex-
tension of the arrears act into operation.
The nain difference between the European
methods and ours is that they take the fruits OF
victory to make few men enormously rich,
while We propose to employ similar amount
of money in properly caring for the great body
Of men whose courage and patriotism really
won the victory.

Tie holders Of Gle bonds aud othor evidences

TlREE BILLIoSs or DOLLARS white the sol

hundred millions
It was perfectly iust and right that these
creditors should fe paid these three billions,
for we bad promised to do so, ana ,se saould
have paid many times thai sum ii we had
agreed to. But, how much would they
have resolved. if the soldiers had not been 80
overwhelmingly generous in the expenditure
Of life and limb TO SAFE the country and make
their property yalaabie2 These bonds were
only valuable because more than two millions
of men gave unstintedly Of lie and all that
makes life ENJOYABLE to make them 50. They
were only valuable because Of the nnfalfng
heroism and persistence Of our soldiers under
all manner OF discoufagements ard disasters.
until at last they tore victory from the blo9dy
jaws of defeat
Every dollar that these preferred creditors
have received was earned ior them Thousand
times over by the men who fought from Bull
Ran to Appotaatox and from Belmont and
Shiloh to Atlanta aad the Sea.
Had they not fought as they did--l,ad they
lost courage uudeg their numerous reyerses,
had they grown weary Of their incesssnt hard
ships and toll, had they shrunk from daily
adding fresh hecatombs to the hundreds Of
thousands OF their slaughtered comrades. those
bonds would moi have been worth the paper
upon which they were printed They would
have been as worthless as the Confederate
notes and bonds, which were used to paper
rooms and print advertisements upon. They
would have been Of as little value as the Conti-
mental notes and bonds, which our grand{atiers
used for shaving paper and to line trunks
with.
Now, what tie soldiers who have made this
rich gift to the bondholders and noteholders OF
the United states ask is not generosity, but
eyen-handod justice. They only ask to be
treated fairly where the Others have been
treated literally. They only ask that a small
portion of the consideration which has been
bestowed upon those who gave money and
property to the Nation be bestowed upon those
who gave to it the priceless donations OF vaIor
fortitude, devotion, loyal service youth, heaItl
and life.
This is certainly not asking much.

Gen. Logan and the zuni lands came up where
it could be taken notice of and definitely set
tied. 4 wonld-be smart and cunning gentle
rian hom New jersey, with the suggestive
naue OF Mac4doo violated the confidence of the
House OF Representatives, and, getting leave
to print speech on pension bill, Incorporated
into tia newspaper article charging Gen Logan
with the ownership of $4,000 acres of land in
the Territories The next day the friends of
Gen. Logan, who discovered the imposition,
called the attention of the House to it j u fitting
terms. in which Mr. McAdoo's conduct was
handled without gloves. In the Senate Gen.
Hawley called attention to the falsehood, and
denied that Gen Logan owned any lands
whatever except she little farm which was his
fathers homestead, and which he purchased
from the other heirs. and some lots in Chicago
aud tracts of land elsewhere in Illinois. Gen.
Logan said simply that the charge was utterly
false, aud that he did not own an acre Of land
outside of Illinois.
This effeetaally disposes of falsahood made
out Of whole cloth, which has been actively
circulated by certain malicious perzoas.
May %, 1883, Gen Logan wrote letter, in
which he made most explicit and sweeping
denial of the charge. He said:
The truth is, never located in any shape, man.

name of amy other person, ut near anywhere in
