One case illustrating the working Of the order
has been reported here: A soldiers widow at
Rock Island, H., woman whose husband fell
on the battlefield, has three daughters who
were employed in the United States arsenal at
that place. They were suddenly dismissed,
without any cause being assigned, and other
persons were employed in their places At
last, after many efforts, tho mother ascsrtained
that her daughters had been dismissed
because their sympathies were with the
Republican party, while the persons employed
IN their places sympathiZed with the Democratic
party. The officer explained that be was acting
uader direct ORDERS from the War Department,
which allowed him no discretion in the matter.
Ii is asserted, aud with truth, in all probability,
that great many ether persons have been dis
missed on tho same ground and Democrats en-
poyed IN their places under this heartless order
from the Secretary of War
1t IL no wonder that man who is as dead TO
ali patriotic sentiments. as this order about sol
diers' widows and orDhars shows him TO be,
sees nothing worthy OF his attention in the
bntchering OF tho war records which is going on
under his auspices. It is probably the first
time that a Cabinet officer ever undertook po-
llticnl warfare on women and children. II will
be the fault OF the veterans If il is not the last
