PRIATION BILL.

The Senate has passed the Pension
Appropriation bill with the provision
relating TO granting pensions to honor
ably-discharged veterans upon reach

Editor National Tribune: I have
read with interest the records of vari-
Gus regiments in The National Trib-
une. and l should be pleased to see a

risburg. Nov. 5. 1861. and mustered
out July II. 1865. John c. Dodge was
the first Colonel, and was succeeded
by Col. Henry NJ. HOyt. who was brew
cited Brigadier-General. Col. John

THE STATEHOOD BILL.

Last week Senator Foraker made a
motion that thc Senate elect the con-
fcrees upon the Statehood bill instead
of having them appointed by the Vice
President. Later he had n conference
with Senator Beveridge, in which he
became convinced that the Senator
from Indiana would labor just as
strenuously for the Senate's position
as he would have done had not the
Foraker amendment with regard to
New Mexico and Arizona been adopted
Thereupon Senator Foraker withdrew
his motion, and Vice President Fair
banks named Senators Beveridge, Dill
lingham and Patterson as the con-
ferees on the part of the Senate Bev-
eridge and Dillingham; supported the
House bill earnestly in. the Senate.
while Patterson, the ranking Demo-
cratic member of the Committee, was
as strongly opposed to the bill. 1t is
therefore settled that the Senate will
obstinately stand for the bill as Il
passed the Senate, and that Speaker
Cannon's conferees will be just as un-
yielding for the House bill, so that
there is every prospect of deadlock.
The conference on the bill may last
through this week.

That part of the Baltimore & Ohio
line between Washington and Baiti-
more is an exceedingly profitable piece
of roadbed, and the sale of the State
of Marylands stock has been a mooted
question for some years. After some
months of chaffcring the Baltimore G.
Ohio Company has made a direct offer
of S2,500.000 for the States $500
shares. which is equivalent to $i54 a
share. 1t is likely that this offer Will
be accepted, and the money will be
applied to reducing the State debt of
Maryland, which is sS,526,926. With
this and the sinking fund the debt will
be reduced to something like s3,OC0,-
600.

THE RATE BILL 10 BE AMENDED.

The Steering Committee of Repub-
lican Senators has been thinking a
great deal, but saying little, and by
this commendable course arrived at the
wise conclusion to have the rate bill
carefully amended SO as TO provide for
an appeal to the courts, with the ap-
pellant railroad required to make a
deposit covering the difference between
its rate and that ordered by the Com
mission during the suspension of the
Commissions order. Therefore, il the
Court decides that the Commission S
recover the excess they were required tC
action is proper the shippers can at once
pay during the judicial examination of
the case. This amendment. which has
accordance with Senator Spooncr's
plan. 1t is thought that this will sat
isfy all parties who support rate leeis-
lation, and be as much as those who
are opposed to such legislation can hope
to gain. This is much preferred to the
proposition to require the appellant
railroads to gife' bonds, as this might
compel the shippers to bring suits to
recover what shad been wronsfully
taken from them.
The debate on tile bill is expected to
continue well along through next
month. OII
