AN OLD Union soldier, who ha;
always been a Republican anc
knows whereof he writes, sends to
the HERALD q communication
which is as follows:
Do Ingalls,, Sherman, Hoar and
other Republican Senators think
that the Grand Army Of the Re
public are such clod-hoppers, mud
sills and idiots, as to believe that
they are working for the interest OF
the dependent old soldiers? The
dependent pension bill came into
the Senate from a unanimous com
mittee, the majority of whom are
Republicans but as soon as re-
ported, the Republican Senators
start i'll at once to amend and alter
it in every conceivable way-for
what purpose? For the benefit of
the poor soldier? Not much, but
to force party strife and cause the
President to veto it. They are for
political purposes, SO they can ap-
peal to the old soldiers and their
friends on the stump. Is the loud
mouth, bloody-shirt Republican the
friend of the soldier, or the more
conservative Republican and Dem
ocrat? Let the old soldier appear,
with his pension certificate, before
an officer to make affidavit, and see
the difference in the answer he re-
ceives. What are the damages? he
asks: The bloody-shirt Republican
answers-Seventy-five cents, sir |!
The Democrat, traitor and rebel as
he is sometimes called, says: Moth
ing, my friend; I never charge the
old boys for such work. Call again
next time.
The American people are too in
telligent, for even Senators to stuff
such nonsense down their Threats !;
they will say, and rightly say, 1t is
too thin-it won't wash. The ex-
treme Senator'S do not intend that
the pending pension bill shall be
passed. They Will tinker with it,
until its father won't know his child,
and then blame the Democrats or
President for its failure and howl
on the stump.

Hon. MARK a. SMITH, our Dele
gate in Congress, is justly indig-
nant at certain Territorial newspa-
pers, which have charged him with
having introduced a bill for the
creation of court or commission
to settle private land grants. He
has published a card in which lie
denies the accusation in toto, and
states that he has been instrument
al in defeating, before committees
of the house, several bills of that
character. Large meetings have
been held at Phoenix and Florence
to protest against a bill which he
was supposed to have fathered, and
which, if it became a law, would be
a source of fruitful litigation and
work much evil to settlers. Some
selfish or sinister motive must have
actuated those who have unjustly
assaulted Mr.. Smith, who certainly
has done nothing to merit obnox-
ious criticism. Few men reach a
point inaccessible to the arrows Of
