THE NATIONAL TRBUNE: WAsNGToN c. THURSDAY,
THE NATIONAL. TRIBUNE PENSION BILL.

THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE PENSION BILL.
The best that can be said in favor of THE
NATIONAL TRIBUNE Service Pension Bill is
that it comes nearer doing justice than any
measure yet proposed. This is all that can
be said in favor of any pension bill. The
veterans and their friends want nothing but
justice. They ask for nothing but that the
country do its plain, simple duty by them.
They have earned in the hardest possible
way that men can earn anything vastly
more than they have ever asked for, or that
anybody has ever asked for for them.
To give every one of them a cent month
for every day they served in the army, with
no mans pension to be less than So a month
with $12 month for the widows and SIS
for the minor children, is as little return as
it can in decency make for the services and
sacrifices of the men who saved its life al
such enormous cost to themselves.
1t owes to them every bit of its present
prosperity, and every dollar of its accumu,
lated wealth. Had it not been for their in.
domitable zeal and courage, their utter re-
gardlessness of consequences to themselves
there would have been no surplus in the
Treasury to-day; no overlooking Golfers de-
handing a reduction of taxation; no pie
thoric bondhOlders gorging themselves with
the peoples money. If they had allowed
themselves to be whipped out as easily a
the soldiers of other countries have, in thu
worlds history there would have been none o
this. In place of prosperity the condition
of the dismembered country would have
been pitiable, with standing armies eating
up the slender proceeds of the peoples labor
and the bonds used as are the Confderat'
bonds-to paper walls and print advertise
ments upon.
Our country has reaped harvest from tn
blood and sacrifices of it's soldiers such a
never blessed another in all history, ant
certainly it should be moved to justly recon
pense those to whom it owes all. THE Ma
TIoNAL TRIBUNE Pension Bill will com
nearer making that recompense than an.
other yet proposed, and there should not b
an instant's hesitation about its adoption.

BERDAN's RECONNoIssANCE,

An exceedingly important and interesting
feature of the great Gettysburg celebration
was the public recognition of the immense
value the reconnaissance made by Gen. Ber-
dan in front of Gen. Sickles's line on the
second day, and which developed the start
ling fact that Gen. Longstreet had massed a
force of $4,000 infantry and 1000 artillery
and cavalry behind the cover of the woods
for crushing onslaught upon our left, then
held by Gen. Sickles with 10000 men. So
well had Longstreet concealed his move
ments that our officers had no intimation Of
the gathering of the awful storm which the
rebels sanguinely hoped would roll up our
left ike scroll, sweep away our hold upon
the all-important Round Tops, and send the
disorganized remnants of the Army of the
Potomac flying from the field.
Even with the warning that came from
Berdan's discovery, and the invaluable &C
minutes which were gained by his sacrifice
of his dauntless ShaTpshOoters, it was al
that the army could do to maintain posses
zion of Little Round Top.
These are facc~yhieh many have always
known, but it was not until this grea
gathering that they have been publicly
authenticated, so that they are now par
Of the history Of the battle.
Gen. Longstreet himself bore ready test
mony that his formation was rudely dis
turbed by the audacious attack of the Sharp
shooters-an attack fully az desperate a
the ride ofthe Six Hundred, and vastly NOR
4" war like.-and that this cost him 40 min
utes of precious time, which would have beei
all that he wanted TO secure the covete
Round Tops.
We congratulate the comrades of tn
Sharpshooters that history is at last abou
to do full justice to their splendid gallantr
and sacrifice Of themselves for their cour
try's good.

THE FIGHTING AT GETTYSBURG.


The more one studies the battle of Gettys-
burg the stronger is his conviction that it
was what is called "men's victory, that
is, the men, not the Generals, won it. and
they won it by stubbornly meeting the
rebels at every point of attack with cour-
age and resolution superior to those of their
assailants, and beating them back with ter
rible loss. 1t was, as somebody truthfully
said of Shiloh, battle where the rebels
outgeneraled US, but we outcOloneled them"
That is, their generalship was superior to
ours, but they were beaten by the uncon-
querable fighting spirit of the men and the
subordinate commanders. Never in the his
tory of warfare did everybody behave better
than all our troops did on the field of Get
tysburg during the varying phases Of that
| three days of awful fighting. In spite of
the overpOweriug masses of the rebels at
different points of attack and the terrible
slaughter, there was nowhere any cOwardice,
any panic, any Generalization. Every corps,
every division, every regiment on the field
can point proudly to its record, and chal-
lenge scrutiny as to where it failed to rise
to the highest level of soldiership. 1t is a
! field to make one proud of his American citi-
zenship, for it is a demonstration of how
high courage and patriotism are usual charac-
teristics ofour people. There never was bat
tie fought in Europe SO free from accusations
ofweakness and cowardice on the part ofsOme
portion of the combatantsa as this. There never
was one fought there in which so nearly ali
the men brought on the field were actively
engaged, and suffered such proportionate
losses. Of the 50 brigades which reached
the field AZ were actively engaged, and &c
lost enormously. The Count Of Paris figures
out that Meade had a total of from $4,000
to $4,000 men," IF we deduct from this II,
600 for the Sixth Corps, which arrived SO
late as to take but little part in the fighting
and only lost 81 killed, 1876 wounded, and
30 missing, we will have for the other six
corps and the cavalry and artillery, II DOC
men. These lost:

Or more than 80 per cent of their entire
number loss unprecedented in the his
tory of European warfare. On the Other
hand, the rebels lost accepting their figures
which are manifestly far too low, %, 1876 out

The Count of Paris is quite right in char

the taxpayer as can be suggested is to pass
the Disability Bill, which will at once take
from the local treasures the load of sup

THE CALLED iades who WINGED under Sena-
tor Ingalls's terrible excoriation, are having
a vociferous time replying" to him. Every
few days the papers announce that some
body or other has simply "withered the
Kansas Senator with a "reply." If any
body really reads what the witherer says
he straightway forgets it within "a hours,
while Ingalls's words continue to burn in
his memory. The latest witherer is Col. Dom
Piatt, whose "reply is trumpeted through
the country by the obsequious press. About
the only effect it will have will be to announce
that Dom Piatt is not dead, as most people
imagine, but still lives. AS reply it is
about as effective as the yelp of jackal to
the roar of lion.
