A BILL FOR THE BENEEIT OF De
sERTERs.4The general pension bill
now under discussion in the House
provides that desertion or dishonor
able discharge shall not be bar to a
pension under the act of 1890. This is
proposition which deserves the con-
domination of every Union soldier who
fought for a principle and vas true to
his eolors to the bitter end. Desertion
is rightly considered to be the most
disgraceful offense OF which q soldier
can be guilty, and under certain. con
ditinns =. Tie penalty, in time of war, is
death. If it is to be declared of such
trifling Importance as to be no bar to a
demand upon the bounty of the gov
eminent, we shall establish a prece-
dent that will surely plague us in the
future. Moreover, we shall lower the
personnel of the army, and when we
open the gates to deserters from the
army and receive them with the same

did their duty as soldiers to the last
we put q premium upon 60 Mardice and

every pensioner who Is ON the rolls by
