. THAT INFAMOUS BOUNTY BILL. The Wolcottville Register takes exceptions to my.reémarks in reference o the iniquitous bounty bill of which. Senator Logan.was the most audacious defender. It was beyond all questien the grandest grabbing scheme of the session, and wholly in the interest of the shameless demagogues who are seeking the Presidency. I. know of no Republican journal of in_fluence that has: dared to favor it, unless in Logan’s or Wilson’s interest.— The President did not dare sign the infamousbill. e might appoint such men "as Sheppard and Casey, and. all his relatives to office and stolidly brave the publicsentiment of his party ‘and of the country; he might turn-and overturn State governments at ‘his pleasure, and his party stand silently

by.and consent; but sign that bounty " bill he dared not: Even Grant was “appalled at its!stupendous iniquity, -and wisely refused to sign the bill— | . Does the Register defend it as a Re- ~ publican measure? Does it defend it “on its merits? Has the Register even ‘read the bill, as it was shamelessly and | fraudulently smuggled through at the last: hour, and 13}11‘1‘ied away to the | President for his signatuie? 1 doubt whether the ~edit'ol" of the Register has even read the bill. As the bill came’ from the House it was not objectionable. It was urged that the hard times and an empty treasury were - reasons sufficient to let-the matterdrop for the.present: Itprovided for bounty :}t-fhe'i‘afe of $lOO a year for the time of actual sérvice to those who had actu_nlly'born’ez arms.in the Fedelal army, after dgducting all fl)e bounties, whether National, State, County or local, that had already been paid.— This would be equalizing bounties, as it had' reference " to -actual soldiers, those who bore arms in the field. But - as soon as the bill came to the Senate, Logan, Wilson and one or two others “ who have an eye on the White House saw a chance to make a ten strike.— “The bill was at once loaded with all sorts iof angexg‘dmexitsf‘until its-original shape was completely lost The Senate so amended it that it included Home Guards in al?ﬁhe"border States, many thousandsof whom were of very * suspicious loyalty, and who were nev~er under fire, but-only doing guard duty. Teamsters, Artificers, Musicians, and all the dependents that make “up : th’é"non-ﬁ'ghting crowds that-are attached to an active army] Al ex-slaves who had been in any manner attached to the army! “Tndian Tribes; all sea-

men engaged' aloiig the i‘i\,'e_rs in trans- | portation, &c; lastly, those who: en“listed ‘at the close of the ‘w:m}‘, ‘when _ local bounties -ranged from %400 to $l2OO, got precisely as much as those who enlisted at the beginning when not “a dollar of {ocal bounty was given.— This is equalizing hounties with a " vengeance! ‘This infamous-bill as doctored in ﬁh_e Senate, changed ' the | " appropiation frpm thirty millions to two hundred ‘millions. This'shame-: . less scheme to rob the country; this unjust and wicked diserimination. . against the ‘soldier who ('leserves’tl_le bounty, finds a defender in the. Register. It was estimated shortly after ‘the Senate passed the bill that it would: not only absorb all the revenue to: be collected under the new tax law for’ some three years to come, but add also ‘over one hundred millions to our public debt. Thisbill empowered the Sec- . retary of the Treasury to dispose of * bonds and enlarge the National. debt .to any extent requisite to meet the demands of the dreckless scheme to " plunder the people. o o ‘I should be well pleased. to have .every deserving, soldier get as much: ~bounty as he who got the highest figure; but let it be done under an .aon_est equalizing bounty bill. It is time s 'this tinkering with bounties should . stop. Let Congress pass a liberal equalizing bounty bill, and then let it rest. On the eve of presidential elec- ~ tions a new scheme is started and the - soldier is fed with. false hopes until ‘the election is over, and then it drops. T am opposed to giviiig the Home ‘Guards the same bounty that the boys who passed through the fire of Donaldson, Shiloh, Chicamauga, Stone River. and Atlanta receivet To do so would _ be unjust and tlerefore very unequlal.» "+ I have some knowledge 'of what trials and dangers and hardships were en~dured by the active soldier at the front, ~and T have always advoeated, publicly ¢ and privately, an honest equalization - of bounties at a liberal figure, and let . it remain so until all who deserved it CROLEL e e 8 - The Register thinks lam “not finan- . cially interested” in the bill under discussion; perhaps the editor of that paper is. Personally, I might find . more interest in the bill than out of - it; but that is not the question. It'is ' not the interest of a few, but to do justice-to all who deserve a liberal bounty, that should receive the atten- ~ tion of Congress. Undoubtedly I think ~ my humble services in the late war - were enlisted ‘in a just cause. But ~does it follow that because some men fol,lowed'Sherman'f to the Sea, therefore the same bounty. should be given _ the home guard who never crossed the ‘Ohio river? | b I have thu&answélgéd the questions propounded by-the Register by exhibiting some of the salient points of the ;. .bill. And any can‘di«% person who ‘will _carefully read the bill, will agree with - :me that it is infamous, and that the . President deserves the thanks of all ~ good people for xefn;;ing to_sign the - iniquitous measure. It was, as.l have said, a bold bid for the Presidency. ILtlB so regarded by some of the Tead~ing journals of the republican party, ~ and I have not yet found a single . mevispaper of stand e“ifmtmam Cated the bill, unless, as I havealready res about the bill that might be no%&ﬁéw«‘w&v enough of them R Rt e e Lol it an “infamous bill” .

' OHIO CORRESPONDENCE. ~ LANCASTER, 0., April 4th, "75. ! EplTor BANNER:—This beautiful evening finds me seated for the pur-. pose of communicating to your valuaDble paper some of thesights I have seen since traveling among the Buckeyes. You will remember, this State is the place of my nativity, and to speak ‘‘of it in other than flattering terms would almost be unpardonable. The nearest we will digréss from the: above shall e in the language of that iliustrious (but departed) statesman, Stephen A. Douglas, who once said, “Ohio is a'good State to: emigrate from.” “Ohio is a great State and has a vast amount of as good country as ‘the suh ever shone upan, but in*many cases where the better portions of the land is, ib.is owhed by a few wealthy ‘men who use it: for grazing purposes and’ coiis.equently’ hinder its: progress

in the way of general improvenients. When we first came to Ohio it was our luck to go to Madison county, which is adjoining. Franklin on the west. ~ When we. :li'l'ix'e(l»zyf London (the county seat) we were called fifteen miles in the country. =~ Mr. Stewart, agent for the'O. C.P.;conveyed us -to our destination. ‘When we had gone eight miles and not seen a house ‘hardly worthy of the hame, he inform-'

ed-us by pointingto a field that looked to have two sections in, that that was the f;al‘ln we were going to operate on, ‘but that seven long miles must yet be traveled ere we would :r'éach"the\ba'ttle field.. We were-on what is called the’ Darby - plains, as-beautiful a country. to Ilook over as the éye of man ever ‘gazed on. But buildings, there were none. - It is not uncommon for one man to possess:two thousand acres, and some own.three thousand.. It is in this county that the Dunns live wlio: are famous' for raising the cele‘brated Durham cattle, There are three brothers of them,and each owns eleven hundred acres of land. ~ Sena‘tor Thurman alsq owns a very large farm in this county. “And thus it is with quite a number of the very best counties in the State. ~ . - ' On 'ourftrip to Madison county we were detained in Newark three hours, which time was pleasantly spent in chatting with old acquaintances. At Columbus we were also detained a short time. - While there we took a good look atthe new Union Depot, which is the finest we ever saw.. Columbus was a good while in making up her mind, f}l)iltfw’hen she did, she built a “whopper.” -~ . - ]

From Madison we came to this (Fairfield) county, which ranks second to hone in the State.in the way of ‘good land, fine scenery and bright intellect. * Lancasteris noted for having produced the most eminent lawyers in the State. It is here that Hocking 11. Hunter lived, moved and: had a being; also Governor Medil, Sam Medary,. John'Sherman, Thomas Ewing, and a number of others whom we cannot call to mind. - Ewing still lives ‘here and is said to have the finest residencein the city. .~ M - Lancaster is situated over a gradu‘ally - rolling piece of ground and is ‘bounded on the north by a chain of hills, one of which is called Mt. Pleasant and rises very abruptly to the | heighth. of two hundred ang eightyfive feet, and from its. summit to-day we viewed thé most magnificent scen- | ery. it has ever been our good. fortune to behold. Between the south base of“this mountain and _thé city is the coun'ty fair grounds, dotted over with-hand-some buildings.and beautiful shade trees, which present a picturesque ap‘pearance, viewed frem this summit. Farther on is the city, whose houses resemble toy houses nearer than anything - we can describe; and still farther on, to the..s&uth, east, and .west, for seven miles, the eye beholds one vast, plain; with oceasionally a gentle | wavé of the land, a clump of trees on one and perhaps a farm house with out-buildings on another, all of which is delightful to the eye. There issome timber on'Mt. Pleasant, but it is of no value;being mostly little scrubby “seru‘ny” Jack Oaks, ‘[Ehat little touch on “scrawny” is all right, Abe; but while acting the part of a critic you should be careful to spell “scrubby” with two Ws—Ep.], - L S e " We would like very much to get ‘hold of last wédk’s BANNER to learn who are-the champion spellers of Lignier. , S

Enroute to the Black Mills. | o Sroux CITY, I 8 Apr. 4, 5, | - JAs. HoOXWOßTH—Esteemed Friend : —I arrived here on last Thursday evening, after a trip of 36 hours. During the latter part of the journey we encountered a severe snow storm which delayed us about four hours. Adventurers are flocking in here from all parts of the United States, many of whom have allowed the Black Hills excitement to run away with their judgment, not having enough money left after arriving here to pay two week’s board in advance. What this class will do I can not tell, as it is -almost impossible to get employment here. No one should think of coming here with a view of going to the Hills -with less than twoe hundred dollars. - Now, as to the Blaek Hills, I would say that, since I have had an intervjiew with Witcher and Gordon, I feel more sanguine than ever. Lo e “ I have joined-Gordon’s p:ru'tjt,'con-' sisting of nearly two hundred men, all well armed with breech loaders and revolvers- and “spoiling. for a fight” with the Sioux. So far as the Government is concerned, we apprehend no interference. ~The Military are: in sympathy with the movement. No doubt ofithat. 0 oot | To-morrow we cross the Missouri river, where we will complete our organization, Then, “Black Mills ‘or Bust,”” will be our motto. Our route wiil be nearly due west, keeping within' the limits of Nebraska until we reach ‘a point nearly due south froin the Black Hills; from thence to Harney’s Peak. No recent reports have been received here from.-the party now in the Hills, and Gordon is anxious to get there with reinforcements ‘as'sdon as possible, el |~ T will endeavor to keep you posted, and - will write you if possible, after arriving in the Hils: Yours Truly, * 2 -8: M.

’ A Juvenile Epistle. . SUNNY BIDE, April 4th; 1875, Mgz, -Eprror:—l thought I. would like to write a few lines for the BaxNER.

I must tell you an anecdote about my little three-year-old brother.

LET THE PLOPLE SPEANX, 1o MANHATTAN, KAN. R. V. PiERrcE, Buffalo, N. Y.: F Dear Sir—Your Favorite Prescription has done my wife a world of good. She has taken nearly two bottles and has felt better the past two weeks than at any time in the past two years. No more periodical pains; none of that aching back or dragging sensation in her stomache she has been accustomed to for several years. I have so much confidence in it that I would be perfectly willing® to warrant to certain customers of ours who would-be glad to get hold of relief at:any expense. I have tried many Patent Medicines, but never had any occasion to extol one before. Very truly yours, ' ~ ° Foosin o Geoc B WHITING. Mrs. E.'R, DaLy, Metropelis, 111., writes: ° “DRr. R. V.

PiEßCcE—Wihat I have taken of your medicine has-been of more benefit to me than all others and hundreds of doctors’ bills.” :

Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is sold by dealersin medicines generally. ot Presidential Extravagance. - ‘Every President from Washington tq Johnson was content with the old salary. Some of them, who were by no means penurious, and maintained a generous establishment, retired with a considerable balance on the creditside of the bank' account. Mr. Buchanan always lived like a gentleman, entertained the Prince of Whalesand suit as his guests without sending a.bill to Congress, and kept a hospitable house. He did not spend all his pay. Mr. Lincoln saved quite $55,000, and Mr. Johnson nearly as muech, although his guests were more than treble those of his greedy successor. e

1 When the President’s salary was made $50,000 a year instead of $25, O?O, a promise was-openly made in the House that these shameful perquisites would be cut off- It hasnot been kept, but quite the reverse is true, for Mr. Garfield and his confederates have ex~ panded them and added new items. And this, too, in the-midst of a general suffering and in presence of new taxation. : e

We have no patience with that sort of journalism which delights to throw mud upon men who hold honorable places in the esteem and confidence of their fellow men, simply because they do hold such positions. We admit that there is an abundance of the worst sort of frauds in every community, who stand in the highest places in social, political,xeligious and financial circles. But #n“the other hand there are a great many(good, true men, who are entitled to all/the honor they receive. These /men/are mortal, like the rest of us, and it seems to be the peculiar province of certain newspapers to find out the week places -in their characters and stiek pinsin them dhtlld magnify them into ugly sores for the edification. of the corrupt and dirty portion of the community that patronize them.—New Castle Mercury.

THE THIRD TERM BUSINESS,

That's What Hurt in Connecticut. - (From the Indianapolis Journal, Aprilz.) - | ‘ln the election of Monday the Republicans were handicapped by several. causes, but more especially by the third-term question. The Journalhas ' long since, and more than once, pointed out the injury that would inevita- | bly ensue to the republican party % unless.it cleared itself of this incubus, | and events are proving that its warn- ! ing was prophecy. The rank and file | of therepublican party,an ovérwhelm- ' ing majority of its voters out of office, | and that megns of all its voters, are | unalterably opposed to the re-nomina- | tion of Greneral Grant for a third term. i They are opposed to it partly because 5 they regard the third-term principlel as pernicious, and partly because they | wish to see some reforms introduced | into the national government{ which ‘ they do not believe can be introduced under the administration of General Grant. They are grateful for his mil- | itary services, and' recognize the fidelity with ‘which he has aimed to discharge the duties of President. But they do not want and will not have him for another term. =We know whereof we speak. We entertain profound respect for the motives, character and services of General Grant; but 1 we think more of the Republican party than we do of him, and duty to both requires us to say that thecourse h¢ has pursued in regard to the thirdterm question has causéd, is causing, and, so'long as adhered to, will continue to cause great injury to the reptiblican .party. This was one of the .loads carried by the Connecticut Republicans, and in our opinion, the .main one. Had they. declared boldly :and positively against a third term, and nominated for-Governor a popular man of . pronounced opposition thereto, we might to-day have been | celebrating a victory insfead of deploring a defeat. Nothing is ever made by trifling with principle, oriby attempting to blindfold the people. -
