Bright and Wilson.

l<Jinclnriuli Kuquirer.] The explanation of the removal of the legless soldier Wilson by the ser-geant-at-arms of the senate, Colonel Plight telegraphs that he was constrained to take sueli action because Wilson was insubordinate, and refused to perform any service whatever, and that., moreover, Wilson went home without waiting for congress to adjourn, and without asking for leave of absence. Colonel Bright, it seems, considered this an act of insubordination, and- by mail- notified Wilson that his .services were not needed any longer. Taking all the facts into consideration,'the supposition that Wilson wai seeking to make himself appear a martyr to Democratic ingratitude is warranted. He is entirely under the influence of Colliding. He is the possessor of a competency, and is a single man. He owns valuable property, anil, in addition, gets a pension of $72 per month. He is indebted to a Democrat and to a Democrat ie house for $72 pension he gets monthly. The bill to allow all persons who had lost both legs or both aims or both eyes a pension of $72 per month was introduced by General A. V. Rice,- now the Democratic candidate for lieutenant governor of Ohio He pressed tho bilk Lhrough the Democratic house in the fortyfifth congress.
