PENSIONS FOR CONTEMPORARIES.
Why Many Southerners Joined The
Union Army.
(New Orleans Picayune.J

(New Orleans Picayune.J
In 1890 Congress enacted q law granting
pensions to men who had fought in the
Confederate service, and subsequently de-
serted, or otherwise, had taken service in
the Federal army and become soldiers in
its ranks.
Il is I<nown that not q: few poor fellows
from the Southern army, languishing in
Northern prisons, took service in the
Federal army, on condition that they
Were to be semitic the West to fight the
Indians, and not required to stand in the
ranks against their fellow-Confederat
countrymen. More than one regiment was
made up in this way, and they were sent
out to Minnesota and Dakota, where the
Sioux Indians in 18s4-1S65 were ravaging
the border settlements.
These men were not actually shooting
at their own compatriots Of the South,
but they took the places of other soldiers
who We're sent from the West to the
South, and in that way they were fight
ing against their own people. But the
fact remains that In spite of the law
they never got any pensions, because the
Commissioner of Pensions ruled that they
were not entitled to anything because of
their previous Confederate record.
There is no question. however, that in
all justice they were entitled to pensions
as much as many others who were re-
ceiving the government bounty, and this
was the notion, too, of Congress- which,
at its last session, mended the act OF
1906 so as to insure payment to those Con-
federates who went over to the Federal
service in tbs Civil War. There is now
some question as to the time when their
pensions shall commence. but they will
eventually get the money, which will
amount to some S.. 00O, 900.
