Messrs. Conley and Jones and Mrs. Poole

DEAR EDIToR:-There was lot of
bounty jumpers, who by sharp and
constant vigilance, were kept in the
army until they were captured and
sent to Andersonville, that notorious
place of starvation Of the soldiers Of
the Union-6o,ooo perished there.
And our pension bureaus got into very
bad shape before the advent of the
present administration. Bounty jump
ers, deserters and hospital bummers
were politely introduced into the Pen
sion Office ; they were handsomely en-
tertained then and walked out richer
and better with the promise and pros
poets of large installments of pension
money that amply repaid them for
their integrity to the Union, the Re-
public their loyalty and bravery. The
Pension office to day is busily engaged
ascertaining these many and stupen-
dous frauds, separating the chaff from
the wheat, the sheep from the goats,
and every soldier who came out with
an honorable discharge is in favor of
this thorough crucible of separating
the gold from the dross. The veterans
of this country ought to be justified.
1t is impossible to come to this as long
as bounty jumpers, deserters and hos
pital bummers are faring and ranking
along with the honest soldier, who
perhaps entered the army robust
man, and came out an invalid, or left
an arm or leg on the battle field as
trophies of their valor and victory.
A little similar to the foregoing is a
case in point. E. M. Laubach, one
OF the most prominent citizens and
business men of this part of the coun-
try has established a fine reputation
as pump maker has been turning out
fine work for years SO that orders for
pumps come in from distance, from
all points of the compass, and give
universal satisfaction. He is the only
person by that name engaged in the
business, and has no partner. Any
one represe nting himself as member
OF the firm is an impostor. x.

of the Benton charge, having been
deposed from preaching on the charge,
with his family took his departure

is a very unfortunate affair, not only
for the cause in which he labored, but
for the minister himself. We pity

to such step. 1t is hard to under
stand how people who contract bad
habits are not lowered in the estima-
