Scattering.

Thomas Higgins, Cos. L and III, % Mass.
Fl. A., San Antonio. Tex, says he cannot see
any good reason WHY Congress should enact
laws awarding big pensions to the heirs of
deceased Generals Of the late war any more
thau to the heirs of private soldiers. The
officers received good salaries for their services.
besides their allowances which the private did
not receive. The private marched on foot all
day, went hungry and lay in wet blankets at
night. all for the sum OF from Sl1 to SIG per
month and found, and was likely 20 be found
on the battlefield with a rebel bullet in his
body. If anybody should receive the larger
pension, it shoald DO those who endured the
most.
j. H. Hellwig. Co. Z, 18th Iowa, Postmaster
ar BClknap, Iowa, says that there is SORROW in
the camp for the noble man who commanded
his regiment, Crocker's Iowa Brigade, and
after whom the town he now lives In is named,
when it was known that the gallant General
had been called higher.
n. c. Jones, O,lenvilTe, Ala, having read
\ Scouts Adventures" would like to be able
20 write Of the many trials and hardships lie
endured and narrow escapes he made before
reaching the Union line. The writer is a
Southern man, hut was taught to love the Old
hag from his earliest infancy, and he has never
regretted the part he took in helping to sup
press the rebellion.

agents or Commissioners of Deeds appointed
Dy the Governor Of Florida or any persons
representing themselves rs SUCH They are not
responsible in their dealings. Years of eXRc-
Ficncc among the people Of the South convince
the writer that the methods which obtain in
this section Of the country are against North
ern capitalists, and people are foolish to take
stock in any Of the enterprises. To his own
knowledge, nine men out OF ten, who have
trieil the experiment of investing their capital
in Florida lands, lost money thereby. This
state Of affairs in this part Of the country will

attack on the Weldon Railroad taken % Libby

from one Of the guards on the car. They were
TecaptuTed after two days wandering because
the writer was not able to walk. AZ the break
ing out OF the war, the writer was in Staunton,
Va, with three other persons; he walked over
300 miles to bis home. During his time in the
rebel prisons he was known as Henry Clifford.
He was in the hands Of tho rebels II months
and IL days, and be thinks that it is a shame
that such men as TaTsHey and Turner are sent
to Congress. lie belongs TO Mcpherson Post,
73, Department Of Massachusetts,, and would
like 10 hear from any Of the comrades who
remember him while in prison.
Charles o. Gregory, Sergeant, 10Th n. Y. Bat
terry, CenterviIle, Mich, says that he was taken
prisoner at Reams's Station on the Weldon
Road, Aug. p, 1861; was taken TO Petersburg
and from there to Libby Prison, where he
stayed about week. lie was then directed to
pack up and remove 10 Belle Isle, where he
remained for five or six weeks, and was then
sent 10 Salisbury where he was kept until
Feb. 90, 1865. The day following the great
attempt to break out, Gen. WInder and other
rebel officers came into the iuc.osure, and Gen.
Ninder asked how many Yaa65 they had
killed, and cold his officers they had not killed
enough, which speech made the writer very
mad, and lie was very glad when he heard that
the arch rebel was dead. He would like to
hear from some Of the boys who were there at
the time.

The Red River Campaign.

G. F. Greening. Co. A, I1th Wis, and Co. II,
23d Wis. says that COhrade Bryson insinuates
that the Thirteenth Corps on Red River cam
paign did not amount TO much. The tTouble
with the eOmrade is that he did not get there
enough. There was only Il small part of
the Thirteenth Corps on that campaign. If
the eOmTade had been with the Thirteenth
from Alexandria 20 Sabine Crossroads in the
lead while they were pushing back the rebel
forces day by day, constantly on the alert for
a fight. he would hardly have written rs he did.

is how did it happen. The supposi-

DEFECTIVE JURY SYSTEM.

EDITOR BULLETIN -
The present system of drawing
jurors should be abolished, or the
list be extended TO embrace sufli-
cient number of residents to insure
person against being called more
than once Il year for such duty.
1t comes with extreme hardship
to many of our business community
TO drop the management of their
private concerns, in order 10 COM
ply with these periodical demands
upon their time.
assume it TO be an infringement
of my rights under the constitution
TO continually make such demands
of me or my associate in business,
while many others, equally eligible
and similarly burdened with the du-
ties of citizenship, are never called
TO such duty.
Let the list of voters for Mobiles
be taken and gone through alphabe-
,ically, each taking his turn. Let q
reserve number of jurors be drawn
at every term to take the place of
any that may be excused by the
Court from the regular panel (I
have sat out q term where there
were only l6 jurors to draw from,
the rest having been excused), and
our complaint will cease.
One thing more as to jury trials,
it is quite common for lawyers hay
ing cases called, to detain court and
jury panel for an hour or more, and
then find that they are not ready tc
90 on with the same; consequence
loss of "A hours time to jurymen.
In conclusion, the pay of Juror;
is fixed too low (although this i,
no cause of complaint from mc). A
mechanic of even ordinary abiltie.
earns So day, and l believe this Z
proper compensation for jurors.

When We are suddenly deprived
Of luXuries to which we have be-
come accustomed, the change is apt
10 strike us very forcibly, and with
n sensation not altogether agree
able. This is none the less true
when the said luxuries have been
provided and paid for by others.
These reflections are suggested by
the "Lahaina Complaint" spoken of
in the BULLETIN of last evening.
The facts in regard to the case are
rs follows:
DR.. Mack, the resident Govern
ment physician at Lahaina, impair
ed his health seriously, and it is
feared permanently, by his arduous
and faithful labors in Kona, Hawaii,
where he was formerly located, and
was earnestly advised by his pro-
iessional friends TO try the effects
of trip to the Coast, which advice
he decided to act upon. 1t appears
from inquiries made at the office of
the Board of Health, that when DR..
Mack applied for leave OF absence
he was informed that it would be
granted Oh condition that he should
provide an acceptable substitute
during his absence. The doctor in
formed the Board that his absence
would not be prolonged one, and
That an available substitute could
be found in the person of a Japa-
nesc physician who was subsidized
and employed by all the planters in
the district.
The Board of Health appears to
have concluded that the quality Of
medical service that was satisfactory

would answer the general demand
for two or three months, and grant
ed DIR. Mack's request accordingly.

Dorsey of Nebraska. moved to suspend

House, the bill extending the time of pay
ment for purchased land of the Omaha
tribe of Indians, of Nebraska.

Of order that it is not in the power of the
House, under the constitution, to recall the
bill which was passed ard had been sent
to the President.
After some discussion the chair over

ohio demanded second vote, and the
ds mocrats refusing to vote left the Honse
without quorum. and Dorsey ihereupon
Withdrew his motion.
The House went into committee vhsle
for the consideration of the Senate bill to
forfeit certain lands heretofore granted for
the purpose of sidiDg in the construction
of railroads with the House substitute
therefor.
Psyson explained the bill in its general
provisions: that i, was proposed to forfeit
and restore to the public domain all public
lands. wherever situated. granted in aid Of
construction. where railroads have no, be en-
completed at this time. Twelve railroad.
have been forfeited, comprising nearly So
600 600 acres That left 25 roads not
acted upon. Nine have been fully CON-
pleted, which has left ten railroads now un-
completed. The House substitute recon-
merds the forfeiture of all lands lying
opposite such portions Ct roads ~ were no,
nov constructed. A careful estimate was
to the effect that the bill would restore
! 500 900 acre, to the public domain.
