PENSIONS $50. 900. 600 A YEAR.

The expenditure fos pensions next year will reach
sl5OD00.0oO aud the amount will steadily increase
each year for at least IS years to come. This is
based upon tho present pension laws aud those
which have already received the votes Of both
Houses Of the present Congress. IL other pension
laws are passed the amount required will be
greater.
Generosity 80 tie old soldiers, yes. Every patri-
otto citizen Is Ia favor Of thai.
At the same time there are others 10 be con-
sdertd. This Uncomfortable sum Of $3.50 0D0o 900 "A
year Is mostly WIRING from the hard earnings or
men and women--yes, aud little chdTen--nany
Of whom are as poor as the poorest OF tie old
soldiers Boston Giobe
1t is not for a moment true that this in
conceivable sum of sl50,00000 a year is
mostly wrung from the hard earnings of
men and women-yes, and little children
many of whom are as poor rs the poorest Of
the old soldiers" The Globe would also inn
ply that it is "wrung" for the express pnr-
pose Of spending in pensions, which is glar-
ingly untrue The money is collected for
the purpose of enhancing the earnings of
these men and women for whom the Globe
sheds crocodile tears. Were ii not collected
they would not earn anything like as much
as they do now. They would be i'm
mensely poorer than they now are. They
would lose $40 or $50 for every 81 that
is now collected for duties. They
would get nothing cheaper that is now
taxed. while all they had to sell-farm prod
ucts. skilled labor, etc, would be greatly
lessened in value. If not 81 of the above
$l50,000,O00 were spent for pensions, beer,
wine, whisky, champagne, cigars, silk dresses,
French brandy, foreign perfumery, etc,
would cost the consumers every cent that
those articles do now. No one in this coun-
try would be any richer, except few
brewers, distillers saloon keepers and i'm
porters, while everybody would be much
| poorer.

hours hearing, and the various bills were
fully discussed. They took the ground that
they favored, first, the Grand Army Service
Pension bill, and, second, the Grand Army
Disability bill. They had been instructed
by two Encampments to urge the adop-
ton of the Disability bill. The last
two Encampments had instructed them to
urge the Service bill, but had not withdrawn
instructions for the Disability bill They
were therefore here to urge these two meas
ures.
If they could not get the Service bill as
Endorsed by the Encampment, they at least
hoped that the Disability bill, coupled with
a Cougar service clause, would be adopted.
The conferrees listened with great atten-
ton to the arguments of the Committee.
Comrades Burst and Kountz left with the
full belief that some bill will be agreed upon,
and at an early day, and they think it will
probably be substantially the Senate bill,
with possibly the Cougar service clause of
the Morrill, bill incorporated with it.

Under the energetic administration of Gen.
Green b. Raum the accumulation of old
pension claims is being rapidly reduced, and
the hope ia entertained that the work viii
soon be brought abreast of the time, so that
all claims viii bs disposed of within
few months at the utmost of their re-

at first, because of payments that should
have been made years ago. but the excess
of expenditures over the real annual value
of the pension roll will be rapidly reduced.
This is an important fact which none of the
speakers in either House has taken notice Of

REBEL STRENGTH AT AUTOMATIC,

REBEL STRENGTH AT APPOMATTOx.
Not the least valuable portion of the
Canponeer's" final articles on Appomattox
is his careful study of the strength of the
forces which headed Lee off and compelled
his surrender. The common rebel account,
which has been to a certain extent acquiesced
in by our own historians, is that Grant had
$4,000 men, while Lees army stacked only
5000 muskets at Appomattox. The Can
noneer" shows conclusively that not more
than $4,000 Union troops were near enough
to Appomattox to produce pressure upon
Lee. 1t is impossible to say just how many
men the latter had confronting them. The
historical statements that only about 5000
laid down their arms are misleading Lee
asked Grant for $4,000 rations during the
afternoon of the 9th of April, and these were
found insufficient. On the 10th $4,000 were
issued besides which the IL cars of pro-
visions that Sheridan had captured on the
Sth, were turned over to Lees army-or at
least what was left of them-our boys hav-
ing looted some of the cars, as the Eng
lish would say, finding the nicely-cured
Southern bacon an agreeable change from
the regulation Yankee mess pork, or Il" SOW
belly" rs Uncle Sans nephews used to call
it,
The field return Of March 90, 1865, showed
that Lee had under his command $1,000
troops of all arms, not including the local
reserves of Richmond, clerks, etc., or the
Naval Brigade Or these 5000 were killed,
wounded or captured by the Fifth Corps
and the cavalry at Gravelly Run, March 20
Quaker Road, March 80; White Oak Road,
March 81, and Five Forks, April l.
Eleven thousand more were put hors du
combat ut High Bridge and Sailors Creek
April 6 by the Second and Sixth Corps and
the cavalry. Four thousand more were
brought into camp by the cavalry April Z
and s at different points from Burke's June
ton to Appomattox Station. This is an
aggregate OF 23,GO0, which. subiracted from
55 COO, leaves $4,000. The actual number
rationed from our trains April 10 at the
Courthouse was 2s,00o which would leave
margin of 1000 stragglers who fell out
and went home, or otherwise disappeared
without being accounted for in the fnal
wreck.
