COLONEL CASEYS APPOINTMENT.
HOW GENERAL PARKE's CLAIMS HAVE BEEN PASSED
OVER nv THE PRESIDENT.


Washington, July 10 special.-Considerable sur
prise was expressed I'm Army circles when the Pres
Ident sent TO the Senate yesterday the Of Colonel
Thomas L. Casey to be Chief Of Engineers, with the
rank of Bricader General. 1t Is true that colonel
Casey was the ranking officer, but the same consid-
eratons which induced the President several years
ago 10 appoint Baird over the head
OF General Jones might with greater Justice, 1t Is
thought, have operated to bring about the ap-
nontment of General Parke. the present Super
intendent Of the Military Academy at west Point
General Parke had been graduated from West Point
several years before General Casey. The fact thai
the atcr became the ranking offer is due to the act OF
Congress passed about twenty five years ago. which
consolidated the two then existing engineer corps
and provided that the Typographical engineers, OF
which General Parhe one, should take rank after
the Others in the same grade In this way General
Parhe becam the Junior Of General Casey, though
at the outbreak Of the War he took volunteer COM
mission served with distinction undr Burnside, and
at the close Of the conflict the Commander Of an
army CORPS the Ninth while Colonel Casey saw little
or no active service, being engaged during the War
in experimenting the construction Of Notifications
along the New England coast. The appointment Of
Colonel Casey to be Chief Of Engineers will make It
impossible for General Parke TO be retired with the
rank Of Bfgadier General on account OF his age,
which will consign him In two years TO the retired
list while Colonel Casey Will have several years yet
10 serve.

AN ANSWER TO THE PRESIDENTS CHARGES.

Washington, July 10 (speclaD.-The Pension Com
mlttee of the Senate prepared prompt and effective
answer to-day TO the Presidents recent accusations OF
Indscrimlnate legislation. An examination of the
Committee journal shows that Of the $50 bills reported
this session 800 have been reported adversely. Many
more bills have been permitted 10 die IN the Committee
room in Difference to all wishes OF Senator'S who
prefer that fate to adverse action The number Of
these added to those reported adversely makes total
about equal to the number favOraby reported by the
Committee. Members OF the Committee hold these
facts to be conclusive evidence that the Committee IS
not guilty of the indiscrimnate lbcrality with which
IL has been charged They admit that their prcdi
lectiops are I'm favor Of tho soldier claimant or his
widow and orphans but they assert that no measure
passes through the Committees hands without care

Ciiaging to The Last.

The virus of rheumatism often re-
mains in the system through life, when
it does not cut the thread of existence,
as it is always liable to do, by attacking
the heart. Ere the grip of this tena-
cious disease tightens, ii should be I'M
loosed by that ibenificent liberator
from disease, Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers, which will free the sufferer at the
outset from subsequent pain and dan
ger. No purer or more agreeable blood
depurent exists, as multitudes of the
rheumatic and neuIalgic have ascer-
tanned by certified experience. 1t is
through the medium of regular action
of the kidneys and bladder that an out
let is afforded for the escape of impuri-
ties. which beget not only rheumatic
but equity ailments, and dropsical effu-
sions. To these organs the Bitters gives
an impulse, never verging on the
bounds of irritation, but sufficiently
vigorous to cause them and the bowels
to perform their functions with clock
like precision. Use it also for dyspepsia
biliousness, fever and ague and debility.
