It is said that the Ashtabula railroad disaster cost tiro Lake Shorty Company about $700,000, and that at Revere, Massachusetts, six years ago. mulcted the Eastern railroad in the sum of $500,000. The Old Colony Company ts now settling damages with those injured and the heirs of the killed in the Wollaston acceldent. and $325,000, it is estimated, will lie required to footthebill. In Massachusetts the law fixes the amount for a man killed by a railroad accident at $5 000.

The incoming Legislature will meet in the court house, at Indianapolis, on the Thursday after the first Monday of January. There is no doubt t.*'at Mr. Voorhees will be elected Senator. All talk to the contrary is the merest sensational twaddle and Is undoubtedly started by the Republicans with a hope of getting up a split between the hard and soft money Democrats. It will not. succeed, and we have no idea that there will he any Democratic opposition to Mr. Voorheee. The Legislature is Demo cratle in both branches this time for the first time in twenty years. The bottom rail Is on top once mor\ and Is likely to remain there unless there is some very bad management. ~-La3’orlc Argus.

Y 3 rrhe Soldiers in PoliticsTile tiue “soldier” went out of polities when he became a soldier, and when he agnin became a citizen nev»T paraded his military record to get an office; but since the republicans pet -ist in agitating tills issue the Dem, ocrats need not fear to meet it. The answer of Gen. Mulholland, of Philadelphia, to a lying circular on the pension business completely disposes of that document, and all soldiers, of all parties, should read it. We publish it below: PHH.AOEJ.PHIA, Oct. 26. Colonel Robert L. Orr,President Penn m/lvania Soldiers’ League: My Dear Colonel: I have tiie honor to i ckuowle g th-iecept of your COtmnunicuiien of the 17th inst., in which you assert “thu* all laws for the benefit of pensioners have been passed bv a republic m Congress” and that Unvesti ution will convince” tue “that the Democracy have opposed every measure in their behalf.” I have given the subject the investigation you ask, and you are either grossly ignorant, of the matter or have willfully misrepresented facts. I find that in every case the Democratic party have cordially supported all measures looking to the welfare of t to soldier i* 11 I the pensiouer; as pio <f, read the following acts prased i>y the Democratic House of Representatives : Act of June 20, 1876, to equalize the bounties of soldiers. Act of .March 11, 1877, and June 10, 1878. to provide tiiat pensions shall commence at the date of discharge and for the payment of arrears of pensions. Act.-of Ju'ne 8, 1878. to enforce the will of the people iu regard to the disabled sol iicr : , , % Act of May 2:5. 1878, to increase the pen-ion <'f all soluiers who have lost an urm or leg to s2l per month. Act of Apiil 11,1877, provi ling that the office of pension agent shall be tilled by wounded or disabled soldiers. Act of June 17 1877, to increase the pension of all persons who have lost both hands, bo h feet or both eyes to s7*2 per month. Act of Muich 8, 1878, to prevont, attorneys overcharging the pensioners. Act df Juno 18, 1878, to provide fourteen messengers for the House, at sl,2uU pci am.urn each, providing that such messenger shall have served in the Union army. A t of January 17. 1878. to provide for paying soldiers of the Mexican war, three months’extra pay. Act of May 24, 1878, to urovide that when the soldier’s widow marries thi pension shall bo continued to the children. Act of February 25, 1878, to pension all soldiers who have served in the Mexican or Florida wars. Act of March 9,1878, to pension all soldiers of tiie war of 1812 or their widows. Act ot Juno 18,1878, to increase the pension of General Shields to SIOO per month. Iu addition to these acts, all of 1 which passed the Democratic House of Representatives, the pension committee repotted favorably on two hundred and seventy-seven private bills.

In pursuing tiie investigation still further, I find that in the last Congress a bill was reported “to enable officers of the Union army to recover compensation for lost, horses.” This bill was passed by the Democratic House, bur was killed in the republican Senate. Again I find that the same Democratic House passed au act extending tiie operation of law granting artificial limbs to Union soldiers. This bill, after passing the Democratic House, was killed in the republican Senate, but (lie Democratic House insisted upon it, and the Senate was forced to yield, and the no: of August 15, 1876, became a law by Ike obstinacy of the Democratic House in the interest of the Union soldiers.

Now, I have said enough to convince you t hat you have made a grave mistake when you asserted th?tall tin laws for the benefit of pensioners w re passed by republican leg.slat ors. Of all the despicable means employed by the unscrupulous politician to benefit, bis party, this attempt, to influence tiievotes of the maimed and crippled pensioners of the nation by an unadulterated falsehood is the most base and contemptible. In answer to your circular of September it), wherein you ask me :o vo e the republican ticket “because t ic candidates were soldiera”ete., etc., I will say our experience of republican soldiers who have held office has not been of the most, pleasing'nature. President Grant was a soldier, and under bis administration we have seen the Legislature of a sovereign State dispe sed by the bayonets of federal s . Pliers; and again we have witnessed an armed sentinel, with the rank oi corporal passing upon the qualifications of members of the State Legislatur . We have seen this distinguished soldier using the army to hold the peoNle of the Southern States in subjection while the vast horde of carpet baggers robbed them, taking from them everything they had—exo< fit the yellow fever—and finally closing lvis administration by sustaining with his influence and the army, the returning boards of Louisiana a id Florida in their infamous work of counting out the legally electe 1 president, and placing an usurper in the chair of Washington. It wviß a republican soldier—General Aldelbert Ames—who was forced j to resign the governorship of Missis- ! sippi to avoid being impeached for i high crimes. It was a republican soli diet - General Belknap—who prostituted the high office of secretary of war by the most disgraceful crimes ever perpetrated by a public officer. It was a republican soldier—General Rutherford B. Hayes—who accepted the office of president of the United States, knowing it to oe stolen, an 1 who rewarded the men who assisted in the great crime by promptly appointing them to office. It was a republican soldier—General Hartranfr -who signed the recorder’s bill; “an act to rob the people of Philadelphia that fun is might be obtained wherewith to conduct this political campaign,” and another republican sol d'er—Colonel A. K. Dunkel— voted for this infamous measure. But why c»ntinue? It wo dd take a Ife ime to recapitulate all the dark deeds of the republican'soldiers who have held office.

Now, I will call your attention to one or two facts, phowing file love the republican party bears the soldier. In 1805 Congress passed an act “that el! soldiers disabled in service sho’d be preferred for appointment to public offices.” The Democratic Horn e passed an act, June 10, 1878, to enforce this law and providing punish m<*nt for all persons violating it.— How has this act. of Cong ess been observed? Of the eighty-five thousand ofTeeho’dero. how many are ex--9 Tn this city of Brotherly L >ve * here ar"*tl ey? Is the collector of this port a s ldier? the postmaster,

director of the mint, or naval officer? But as this act did not specify “Union soldier,” perhaps Generai Grant tho’t of it when he appointed nineteen of Mosby’s guerrillas and the daughter of tba man Jackson, who shot the lamented Ellsworth; and, for thesarbe reason. President Hayes may have thought he was obeying the law when be recently appointed the rebel General Longstreet to a lucrative position, and when he appointed Mosby, the guerrilla chief, to a S4,(XX) consulship. I might tell you of the equalization of bounty bill which when passed the Forty-third Congress, and was promptly vetoed by the soldier, Generai Giant, and of the tweuty-tive republican me nbers of the House of Representatives who voted ugainst pensioning the old soldiers of 1812 and or many other heartless acts of the republican party towards the soldiers, but I refrain. In conclusion, I enclose an invitation signed by three hundred ex-officers of the Union a - rny, asking you to abandon the party of Longstreet and Belknap, ol Mosby and Babcock, of Ames and Jackson,, the slayer of Ellsworth, of Hartranfr utid Dunkel, of “recorder bill fame:” ami join that, of McClellan, oT Antietam; of Hancock, of Spottsylvunia; Franklin, of Fredericksburg; of‘fight ing Joo Hooker,’ aud Seigel and Couch, Rosecrans, Stoneman, Slocum, BueM, Williams, Steadman, Shields, Warren, Farnsworth, Manson. of the War Governor, Andrew G. Cnrtiu — whom we all honor, esteem and love --and the thousand gallant soldiers who have never stained their record by crimes and betrayal of saered trusts. Respectfully, Your obedient servant. 4 St. Clair A. Mulholland.
