HOMES FOR DISABLED CONFEDERATEs.
Senator Blair (N H. presented a petition,
signed by a number of ex-Union soldiers, ask
ing the enactment of a law providing for the
establishment and maintenance by the United
States of homes for INDECENT MANNED soldiers of
the late armies of the so-called Confederate
States whose wounds were received at the hands
of United States troops. The petition says
We believe such n measure wise patriotic and
humane; that its adoption would mark distinct
advance of the line of civilization in the history of
the world. promote the welfare of the Union and
strengthen the cause of republican institutions
among the nations of the earth by demonstrating
as an example, that people may within themselves
possess the power OF rising superior to passion-the
necessary qualification of self government
The men for whose relief these homes are in
tended growing old A new generation is
around them-a people to them and to the stormy
times of the civil conflict strangers and necessarily
unappreciative of their sacrifices and sufferings
With the flight of years their physical disabilities
and tOrtureS increase, and with mental agony they
perceive the darkening skies of their future.
At every step of their weary and dreary lives they
confronted by actual want Each day removes
them further from that popular approval which
was the support of the steadfast soldier In his hour
OF trial. The glory of their achievements thing
of the past The shouts of applause for brave deeds
performed have died out forever. The inevitable
fate OF the yanqllshed Is tieirs-by the busy world
the unsuccessful are forgotten are regarded with
an indifference yet more pain full to the sensitive
soul than oblivion. i Let the strong arm of
the Republic be stretched out in the hour of their
afction to these its unfortunate-if YOU will mis-
guided-sons that they may know it. like the God
of the iSraeltes iii the olden time, remembers and
pities and will provide for them.
