Give Them Their Due.
G. A. Dorman, Geneva, o., sends US an ac-
count of the grasping conduct of a cOmrade
with whom he had tented for II months. The
said comrade is now a wealthy man, and yet
when Comrade Dorman wanted him to sign an
affidavit to enable him to get a pension, the
man demanded So in payment for his time in
looking the matter up and going before a
notary. We are reluctant to believe that any
real soldier would do so mean q thing, but Com
rade Dorman's word is unimpeachable
J. p. r. Mann, Co. B, I'd Wis. Cav, Moberly,
Mo, thinks that every old soldier who reads
THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE should keep his eye
on the Members of Congress, and spot those
who arc not doing their duty il helping TO pass
pension bills.
VIM. Lewis, Co E, 18th Iowa, Menloe, Iowa,
will not feel satisfied until every soldier who
fought three months or over shall have good
pension. He would like to hear from any mem
bers of his regiment.
Hugh Thompson, Joash, Kan, states that his
life for nine years is a total blank. He is an
applicant for a pension but has not yet received
it. he was injured in the service, which caus-
cd his arrangement.
John NJ Winterbottom, Gam, o., thinks that
the men who served throughout the rebellion
should be pensioned, and that as the Repre-
sentatives in Congress do not perform theh
duty, others should be chosen who will.
Our Constituents.
George W. Myers, Co I, 20Oth Pa, Mont
gomery Ferry, Pa, thanks THE NATIONAL
TRIBUNE for its good fight in behalf Of the old
soldiers.
A. Bixby, Co. r. 9Th Iowa, Reinbeck, Iowa
thinks THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE, to which hC
has been a subscriber for years, the best sol
dier's paper ever published, and admires the
pluck with which we advocate the cause of the
old veterans. He thinks the pension laws are
unjust, from the fact that a soldier who was out
| from two to six months and has q hospital rec
! ord, can get pension, while a man who served
/ three and even four years, but has no record
| cannot get pension. In this he thinks there
/ is something radically wrong, and asks Con
! gross to remedy the matter.
/ J. II. Fleming, 105th Ohio, Hyde Park, III.
/ thinks THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE the best pape
1 he ever read, and it puts him in mind of tht
| old days when they were marching and fight
! ing.
j. b. Cook, Co. K, 18th H., Laramie City
| Wyo., is a great admirer CT The NATIONAL
| TRIBUNE, and is doing all he can to swell it
circulation. He would like to hear from som
Of his regiment and to know if Samuel Noel
henney, Corporal, of Co. X, is living and if b.
remembers when he Cook was wounded in tn
arm at Yazoo. Miss.
James f. King, Co. II, 10Th Iowa, Milton
! Iowa, says he would not miss a copy of TIL
NATIONAL TRIBUNE for anything. as it is
great satisfaction to hear from the comrades.

| Mich Cav, writes that he and p. w. Roome 0
the same company, were the first soldiers in
side the brcastworks at Corinth, Miss. As the,
charged into Rienzi they met an old man, VIII
desired to know " Why you-'uns come dow
here to fight we-'uns. We-'uns don't go up t
your country and fight you-juns."
W. w. Pay, Co. G, 5th Iowa Cav, LaketOn
Oak, says Capt. Rankin, in his article on vii
sons raid, is decidedly mistaken as to the regi
ment which charged the battery at Ebeneze
Church He thinks and knows it was the 5tl
Iowa Cav. which did this gallant work, an
that they also were escorts for jeff Davis afte
his capture.

best military records.

of his politics.
