EX-PriSoners.

r. Il. Church, Ashley, ILL.,, approves OF
The National Tribune bill, but he sees
that we put the poor old ex-prisoners
last, which gives them the least and
poorest chance of the whole lot. Great
God! Is it possible that any man to-
day can think that the poor old relics
of the prisons are not much more needy
and deserving than any other class of
pensioners? They served the country
better than any other, since they kept
at least double their number out of the
COnfederate army at a critical time.
