IF Congressman Otey, of Virginia
really supposes that republican Con
gress will pass his proposed bill to PEN
sion disabled Confederate soldiers, he
will be very much disappointed. All
the pension money republican Con-
gross will appropriate, will be for federal,
not Confederate soldiers, and to raise
enough to supply the d. mands of the
former will subject its ability to Sc
we're strain. The money Mr.. Otey's
bill asks for is only part of the sum
in the federal treasury derived from
the seizure ana sale of Southern prop
erty, end in justice should be returned
to Southern people, but it is vain to
hore that republican Congress will
look upon it in that light.

Lurman, and Mr.. Lurman was struck
in the neck by Senator Hubner.
Neither of the belligerents was much
hurt by the encounter, and an escape
of bodily harm to one or the other, or
to both, was due to the timely inter-

to Senator Hubner's person, and the

The body of E. Y Ham is supposed to
