SURVIVAL OF A PEW CUSTOM.

RATINGS By EXAMINING SURGEONS.

RATINGS BY EXAMINING SURGEONS
1t seems that the agreement by the
Conference ComnSttee on the Pension
| Appropriation Bill relating to ratings
by the Board of Examining Surgeons
was misunderstood in the Senate, and
this misled us in our remarks upon the
subject last week.
When the matter came up in the
House it was more fully explained, dur
ing debate. The effect of the modi-
fed amendment Is:
1. To repeal the amendment attached
to a previous bill, on motion of Mr..
Picker, making it obligatory upon the
Commissioner of Pensions to exhibit to
the claimant, or his authorized attorney,
the report of the Board of Examining
Surgeons. Before the adoption of this
amendment the Commissioner of Pen
sions instructed the Boards not to make
ratinga
2. The Boards are now required by
law to make ratings, but these are to be
kept private, and the other parts Of the
report can be exhibited to the claimant
or his attorney at the discretion of the
Commissioner.
Mr.. Picker vigorously opposed the
adoption of this amendment, contending
that the Boards were public officials,
and their proceedings were public prop
erty. The claimant had the right to
know all the evidence that was either
for or against him.
Messrs. Powers and Ray took the
same view.
Messrs. Grout and O'Neil held that
the ratings were in the nature Of conf
Dental information from the Boards to
the Pension Bureau, and that it was not
good policy that they be made public as
a matter of right. Mr.. Grout, and some
others, were in favor of all other parts Of
the report being open to the inspection
Of the claimant or his attorney, and
other members felt That to reject the
amendment now might imperil the Sue
cess of the amendments repeating the re-
strictions againstgssfeign pensioners, and
that raising the ihiaimum pension to Sc
a month.
The report of the Conference Com
mittee was finally ashed to; ayes. 1870;
nays, IL. sg8

dent and is now slaw.

THERE ID MICH ABOUT Tie acce ptance
Of the statue Of Gen. Grant presented
by the GAR. to the Nation for the
adornment of the Capitol. This statue
was authorized by the National Encamp-
ment at San Francisco, and sufficient
sum of money contributed by Posts and
others. A contract was entered into
with Mr.. Franklin Simmons, who has
produced quite number of excellent
statues of public men. He made his
studies and completed the statue, which
recently arrived at the Capitol. The
Library Committee, to which it was re-
ferred, raised objections, mainly on the
score Of not having been properly con-
suited, and finally on the ground that
the statue is not good likeness of Gen.
Grant. The matter stills remains un-
settled. Past Commanders in Chief
Beath, Burdett. and Veazey were in
Washington last week looking after the
matter. 1t has been proposed to leave
the question of likeness to the decision
of Col. Fred Grant and Gen. Horace
Porter, who was for long time MEM

IT would indeed seem that some pub- lie demonstration is due from the peo- pie of southern Arizona over the squash ing of the Reavis land grant fraud. Once it was impossible to pass title in this valley without first securing the blRckmailipg release of this wonderful modern swindler. To the officers of the land court is due the highest of praise, but in the acclaim it should not be for gotten that to an Arizona citizen is due the initial work that so fully stamped
 the grant fraud. Years ago Royal A..
 Johnson, then surveyor general of Arlz- ons, in direct defiance of express orders from Washington, took it upon himself to investigate the Spanish records. In
 them his messengers found nothing to indicate the prior existence of the myth ical Baron Peralta de la Cordoba. The records were falsifed by Resvis subse- quent to this search, and thus, more than by any other means, was the vll- hany exposed at the trial. Royal A. Johnson for years has devoted hls tal- ents and his coin to the downfall of this magnificent rascal, and now in the day of triumph should warmly and gr8te- fully remembered by those from whose homes he has lifted the cloud.

THE ladies of Cobb county, Georgia, will have at the Cotton states and Inter national Exposition, the famous "bsttle. scared cabin" from the battlefield o, Kennesaw mountain, which is situated In Cobb county. This was @ plain log cabin about twenty feet square, which was situated just behind the confederate breast works. It was the center of fire from some of Shermsn's batteries, but strange to say, did not burn up. There are over thirty holes in the cabin made by the federal shells, and innumerable bullets are buried in the logs. The battle cabin will be taken down and exactly replaced on the exposition grounds. Ins de will be sold relics of the battlefield, of which @ great many have been collected in the way of shells. old gun barrels, bullets and battlefield relics of like character.
