An Incident OF the War.

The fact that the President vetoed the hill
giving the widow of General David Hunter a
pension of $50 per month has recalled to
many some of the most significant events in
his record during the late war. General
Hunter incurred the epmity of the champions
of slavery by the attitude he assumed in re-
gard to abandoned slaves early in 1862. Upon
the report that he had enlisted a regiment of
fugitive slaves in the Department of the
South Kentucky Representative offered
resolution of inquiry in regard to the matter
which was passed. The answer of General
Hunter to the War Department was vigorous
and to the point. ''No regiment of fugitive
slaves has been organized in this department"
replied General Hunter; "but there is a fine
regiment of persons whose masters are fugi-
tive rebels. men who everywhere fly before
the appearance of the national flag, leaving
their servants behind to shift for them
selves" General Hunter, after answering
other inquiries, urged upon the Government
the importance of forming half dozen col
ored regiments, because they could be made
most useful. The action OF General Hunter
in this matter was followed by very gener-
al protest on the part Of the peace democrats
of the North and the friends of slavery gem
orally. He was assaulted by the press most
bitterly and was not sustained by the Admin
istration, which was not then prepared to
cali colored men TO join the Union arm.
General Hunter was never after popular with
those who favored the perpetustion of slav
cry. Possibly his record was remembered
when the pension bill of his widow was re-
jected.

House OF REPRESENTATIVES, U. S.
Washington, ID. c., July 25, 1886.
Hon. J. r. BodWeli, Haiiowsil, Maine:
DEAR SIR have read the statements
accompanying your letter relative to the
claim of Mr.. O. W. Sims, and if he shall be
able to sustain them by sufficient evidence,
think he has good case. have taken steps
to place his papers before the committee on
pensions, and will forward Information as
soon as shall receive it. l desire to say
further that l cordially endorse your PROPOSE
ton that you would prefer to pay few who
are nor entitled to pensions than allow one
honest soldier to be deprived of just pension
from government which he had risked his
life to defend. The truth is that we are fast
drifting away from tie period of our late
civil war, AS one who goes out upon the
ocean sees his home grow dim as ii seems to
recede from him, so the heroic sacrifices, the
heroic deeds and tremendous events of our
civil war and their consequences seem to be
fading from the hearts of too many of our
people. In the quiet and peaceful days of
1886 it appears to be impossible tor these
people to remember the struggle of lS6l-lS65.
man who should then have had the temer-
ity to express a doubt that the soldier who
fought to save his countrys life would be lib
orally rewarded and held in sincere respect,
would have been looked upon as the enemy
of his country But they who were then the
enemies of our country, to-day are ma ority
in our national councils. Whatever be their
professions, it is too clear to admit of dispute
that they are not friendly to the further PEN
sioning of soldiers. If they occasionally drop
pitiable crumb to them, to bolster up their
pretenses of friendship for the soldier, it is but
pitiable crumb, and is made an excuse for
denying such just legislation as the Counsel
of the Grand Army of the Republic has asked
at the hands of Congress, and such as should
be unhesitatingly accorded those who them
selves, or whose fathers, husbands, or sons.

Remarks of Congressman Reed.
HUMOROUS REVIEW OF THE FAILURE o.
THE DEMOCRATIC House.

l suppose that the whole House recognizes
the actual situation. The summer is passed,
the harvest is about ended and whether any,
body is saved or not cannot be determined bv
discussions here or prophetic utterances.
We have been in session about eight months.
Every gentleman connected with the meas
ures that have been spoken of this morning
has, of course, done his whole duty, has been
instant in season and out of season, but the
result has been that we have failed of accom-
plishment to any very great extent, and if
we should stay here any longer it seems to me
that we should probably have about the same
result with more expenditure of time.
l simply want to call the House to witness
that the majority have met with no factIous
opposition, no waste of time, no spinning out
of debates, no hsmpering. They have had
the rules changed to suit themselves, they
have had most abundant opportunity for the
transaction of business. My friend and
chairman of the Committee on Appropria-
tons Mr.. Randaln has had his burdens
lightened to such an extent that he might
have set us an example or speedy action up
on the appropriation bills that were left to
him. (Laughter.) The other committees
on appropriations have had ample time and
opportunity to consider their business with
fullness and amplitude OF detail. | want
simply to point out the charming Area
dian simplicity OF the situation
which the gentlemen on the other
side have had to deal with this session, a per-
fectly uninterrupted flow, perfect opportunity
for the display of their varied talents, perfect
opportunity to pass every measure which
they deemed consistent with the honor, the
dignity, the glory of the country; and it is to
the credit of the gentlemen Who nave spoken
this morning, that after all the democratic
party have achieved this session, they still
find other fields of achievement open and
possible for them.
1t shows that there are men in the demo-
cratic party who are in advan ce of the great
mass of reform" gentlemen who intended to
make this country blossom like the rose, but
who do not seem thus far to have absolutely
succeeded (Laughter.)
Ii does seem to me about time we should
make some attempt toward finding the end
of this session. 1t would seem that the
country, st least, if one can judge by the ex-
pressions of public opinion, is satisfied we
have had full trial of our opportunities and
capabilities. If these measures which are
spoken of have not been been brought up,
who is to be blamed? After eight months of
this session of Congress has passed, can we
do ANYTHING better than make an attempt
toward adjournment: The other branch of
Congress, if it should find that the public
business requires modification of the reso-
luton. will make such modification, and then
the resolution will come back to us to be con-
sidered in the light Of all the circumstances
of the case. (Cries of "Vote !" "Vote.'O

Important aud Patriotic Letters.

We publish this morning the patriotic
letters of Hon. j. r. Bodwell and Hon. s.
l.. Milliken. endorsing the petition of o.
w. Sims of Hallowell for arrears of pen
sion due him. Mr.. Bodwell says he has
no doubt that the case is meritorious. and
also declares that while there may be
some persons receive pensions who are
not entitled to them. he would rather they
would receive such pensions than that any
good soldier should fail to get the pension
which justly belongs to him. Mr.. Mill
ken in his letter endorses the views of Mr..
Bodwell, and calls the attention of our
people to the fact that the government is
now in the hands of party not friendly
to the claims of the soldiers who upheld
the cause OF the Union The truths con-
tanned in these letters should take strong
hold upon all patriotic citizens. They
contrast very strongly with the vetoes and
abusive language of President Cleveland
in regard to pensions.

The Business Situation.

With few exceptions the reports re-
ceived at Bradstreet's from the trade and
business centres speak of the continuance
of an active distribution of merchandise.
As to the leading markets, wheat has de-
cllned little, but other grains are rela-
lively stronger. The cotton market is
practically unchanged, and the movement
OF dry goods continues fair The export
trade in cottons has been larger during
the past four months than in like period
in any preceding year but Southern mill
cottons have in many instances supplanted
Northern cottons in the Chinese trade.
Large stocks in hand have caused furth-
er shrinkage in the price of sugar. Prices
of wool remain steady, and so near the
importing point that slight advance
would bring in foreign woods. Reports
of earnings of twenty three railroads dur
ing the second week of July show totals
OF 2,646, 1853 in 1886. 81. 43s.3 75 in 1885.
and So .669,732 in 1884. This is not so
favorable an exhibit as might be desired,
as the totals in 1885 were affected by a Sc
rious cutting of rates. The number of
business failures reported is 1911, against
1879 last week; 215 in 1885, 225 in 1884,
l6S in 1888, and 131 in 1882. The total
number of failures in the United States
since Jan. l is 1911, against 6S3l in like
share OF 1885, 59S7 in 1884, 56s3 in 1888,
and 400S in 1882. The general crop out
look is an excellent one, and there are in
dicati of an active tall trade.

The Fisheries.

Secretary Bayard's announcement in le-
gard to fishing matters would be more &C.
ceptable If it coniormed to the actual sit
uation of affairs. While he represents
that all things are tending to an amicable
and early settlement OF difficulties. our
fishermen are in peril, threatened with
seizure. and their business for the season
completely destroyed. The treatment
which the fishermen have received from
the administration has been too shameful
to be CLOSED over by the rose-colored
declaration of the stupid and imbecile
secretary.
