THE HUNGARIAN PARLIAMENT.

Excitement Caused by Sensational Speeches
by Two of the Members.
PEsTH, Jan. 20.--Two exciting speeches were
delivered in the Hungarian Parliament yester-
day. One was by Herr Sonvaeth, who, in al
luding to the race dissensions prevailing through
Austria Hungary. said: 1.-The dual constitution
of 1876 was founded on the idea that the German
element was preponderant in Austria. but now
the dominant forces in Austria are Savs. The
cohesion of the monarchy is gone. Between the
Slavs and Hungarians there are no affinities.
1t is important that the federalist policy now
pursued by Austria should not be pursued to
such point as to keep the two
halves of the monarchy estrangad,
leading to dissolution of the empire
He concluded by quoting the words of Baron
Joseph Eotvas, the friend of Kossuth, who de-
Tended the latter from the attacks of his enc
miles, IF ever he was compelled to choose be-
tween Germanism and Slavism, he would pro-
nounce in favor of the former
The other member whose remarks caused
excitement was Herr Szhabo, president of the
Supreme Court In the course of the debate on
the budget he declared that an official who was
friend of 1isza the Hungarian Prime Minister.
was squandering one-third the revenue of
Hungary. Herr Szhabo was Immediately asked
to name the officer. He refused, however I'M
less an official inquiry was instituted. This
produced confusion, and cries of ''Name" arose
from all quarters of the Chamber.

A Bill in Which Many Ex-SoIdiers of the
Union Army Are Interested.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, JAN 20.-Soldiers of the late
war will be interested in learning that Repre-
sentative Butterworth of Ohio, is pushing bill
in the House, with fair prospects for its passage.
which provides that no soldier who served faith
fully in the late war, according to the terms of
enlistment, until April 0, 1865, shall be deemed
or held TO have been a deserter from the army,
and every such soldier shall be entitled to an
honorable discharge and all pay and bounty
withheld for any reason. If the soldier is
dead the discharge and bounty shall go to his
legal heirs or representatives Major Butter
worth says he has found that many volunteer
soldiers who served faithfully for the Union
during the late war, according to enlistment, I'M
til all armed hostility against the government
had ceased, were absent from their regiments or
commands when the same were formally mus
tered out of the service, and were in many in
stances entered and reported upon the rolls of
the army as deserters, and, in consequence, the
pay and honorable discharge to which they were
entitled were withheld.
