WASHINGTON Oct. 9.-Assistant Secre-
tary Busey has rendered in the case Of
Russell S. Cole, late of Company E ,
First regiment New York veteran cavalry
and of Company d, 27S New York
volunteers, decision that designs the
status of prisoners of war who, having
enlisted in the rebel service in order to
escape Imprisonment, and return to their
own command and applicant for pension
on account of disabilities incurred by
reason of service and in the line of duty.
This decision rescinds the ruling made by
Commissioner Black, May %, 1881, in
which the commissioner held that re-
CARELESS of the circumstances and of the
motives of d prisoner of war SO snIisting
in the rebel service even as q device of
escape from starvation in imprisonment,
should be held as having voluntarily
aided the rebellion, and, therefore, de-
barred from pension by section 47I6,
revised statutes, which prohibits pensions
TO persons ''who in Guy manner volun-
tarily engaged in or aided or abetted the
late rebellion. The assistant secretary
quotes rulings made in similar cases by
Secretaries Cox and Teller in opposition
to the ruling made by Commissioner
Black, and presents q fully legal aspect
of the question.

Tho Fort Worth Packing House.


The Fort Worth packing house and
refrigerator, which is now an
assured fact, is a matter of more i'm
portance to this state than almost any
other enterprise now on foot. With New
Orleans as the outlet for European trade,
ana first-class fleet of vessels running
regularly 10 England, Fort Worth will
become the center of an immense trade
in beef and pork, and will very soon
rival Kansas City and divert a great
trade from Chicago. To the cross tim
bers it will open q door where every
farmer may market all the surplus pork
he can raise, and will make corn and hog
raising one of the chief industries of our
people. Certainly there is no place
where the natural conditions for profit
able hog raising can excel this region.
With market right at our door, and in
a region where hog cholera is unknown,
the thrifty farmers will not be slow to
see their advantage and profit by it.
And the beef cattle on all our plains will
be almost doubled in value. In the
location of this plant Fort Worth not
only score a victory for herself but for
the whole state.
