We clip the above from the lees
lailsa pi-Om:Id/rigs of last Thursday,
as we find them reported In the Pitt
sburgh 11 . 11111Cti. As these papers cir
culate extensively In this county; we
have , been frequently asked, since
then, what this bill meant. At this
particular tine we are in the dark
ourselves, and can therefore only
state what the people hereabouts my
on the sulkiect lt is generally under
stood here that Mr. Quay is at the
head Ot z the ineveMcnt; and It is al
leged by some that., during' the past
week, a terrible mid was made by
the 4egislatu i re on the bonds in the
Sinking Fund In the State Treasury,
and to save these, Mr. Quay—who
was in Harrisburg at the time—got
up the abovelbill as a sort of counter
irritant, with uo intention of having
it passed. .As Mr. Qttay has not been
a special champion of the people's in
terests for seine time past, and, mor :-
over; as the pegsage of the bill was
not retarded by its friends but by its
enemim; this theory falls to satisfy nil
except that gentleman's particular
followers.
Otheriassert that,as the Baltimore,'
Pittsburgh and Chicago Railroad Co.
had decided on constructing their
through road'from Pittsburgh taChl
cago "by the left bank of the Ohio to
Beaver," Mr, Quay concluded on go
ing into the preempting business, and
take possession of that part of the line
before the B. ,P. C. Company came
on to the ground. In that event
Quay & Co. could my to the Balti
more, Pittsburgh Chitigo compa
ny : " Ceme, now; down with your,
dust and yott can get our right of
way. If yon'refuse to shell out you
may hunt another mate for your road
to Chicago."
As we have. remarked before, we
have no definite knowledge yet of the
purpose of this bill. We only report
what others Fay of it here. By next
week we shall know more about it.
Thomas A. licott's name is used as
one of the
or
without his
knowledge consent. We presume
he will order it .to be dropped. If
this bill is a " pincher," which we
suspect it Is—:a movement td foire the
Baltimore, Pittsburgh & Chicago Co.
to pay a heaVy sum of money for that
which they should get for nothing, in
view of the, gnat advantage their
road would be to Beaver county—we
haVe only' to say that air. Quay, and ,
those acting with him in the matter,
are deserving of, and should receive,
the emphatic condemnation of every
citizen whose intertAsare affected by
Their conduct.
SENATOR!Coulding's report on the
credentials ~f General Ames as Sena
tor elect from Mississippi calls atten
tion to the constitutional require-
MOMS that a person to be ,eligible a 9
Senator of the United States must be
an inhabitant of the State for which
he Is chosen and . must be an !ninth,-
tant when elected. The election,
this instance occurred on the 18th of
January, WO, at which time Gener
al Ames wri's a military officer sta
tioned in 'Mississippi by order of the
supreme military authority, and was
acting as Provisional Governor by
aPPointriamit front General Mellow-•

A DrxistON of great importune° to
ninny of thoex-soldlers of the' Union
rmy, was ',rendered by the United
States Supreme Court last week in,
Washington . — Heretofore it has been
held that soldiers who enlisted for
three years or during the war, in 1861,
and were diseharmd on surgeons' eer
titicates of disability before two years
of their:senile° had expired, were not
' entitled to their one hundred dffilars
'bunty. The one hundred dollars
bounty was supposed to be due those
only who were discharged for wounds
or the heitB of .thuse who fell in bat
tle, within the time named. The de-
Osten referred to upsets that theory
and givfes the bounty to all, and seems
to be a final disposition of the whole
question. The awe to which allusion
is made anise on an appeal from the
Illinois Court ot Claims. A Judgment
wasgiven by that court (Or [la:claim
ant fur $lO6 bounty ((Jr enlistment
ender the President'Scall for volun
teers in 1861, he haviOg been dischar
ged Mr disability upon a surgeon's
certificate. The question was wheth
er, under tlieact of Congress ratifying
thence, of the Executive the claimant
could recover, the net providing that ,
two years' service should have been
rendered to entitle the soldier to the
bounty,nnlessdischarged for wounds:
Mr. Justice Swayne delivered the
opinion of theeourt, holding sub stan
tially thati the proclamation of the
President and the general orders of '
the With Department stipulating-to
pay $lOO fur each volunteer, followcfil
by the enlistrt of the claimant,
co
'nstituted a v contract between
the Uovernment and the claimant,
upon which he was entitled tolthe
bounty, affirming the judgmfait of
the court below. •
We trait the widest pnbileityl will
be given to this deehdon through the
Union papers, pasts of the (trawl Ar
my, and by all friends of the soldier.
There arc in Pennsylvania large num
ber of invalid discharged soldiers who
will come in under OILS decision,:and

or expedation of getting anything. •

That this act shall not affect In any
manner t he conditions and guarantees
upon which the State of Texas was
annexed and admitted as a State."
On that day this came up in the Sen

to have the bill passed that he sug
gested action without formal refer
ence to committee. The following is
an extract from the Joint resolution
for annexing Texas, approved-3fareh

the propriety of lifting my voice

I cannot allow any thought us to

sideration of duty. •
The responsibilities of being the
'exponent of such a constituency as' I
have the honor to represent are fully
appreciated by tne. I have, about
'tie the keemet sense of thiS weight,
and that feeling prompts me now to
lift
and,
voice for the first time in the

Sir I stand to day on this flour to up

antagonism exists between the whites
and blacks; that race whieh the na
tion raised front the degradation of
slavery uud endowed With the full
and unqualified rights and privilegni
of citizenship, are intent upon power
at whatever price it can he gained.
It has been the well considered per
'pose and aim of a Class, not confined
to the South% to sorted this charge
over, the laud, and their efforts are us
vigorous to day to educate the people
of this nation into that belief, as they
were at the close of the war. It was
not uticaunnou to find thissame class
even during the rebellion, prognusti
eating a servile war. It may have
been that the wish was father to the
thought, and, sir, as the recag,nized
representative of my down trodden
people, I deny.the charge, and hurl'
It back litto the teeth of those who
snake it, and who, I believe, have
not a true and,couscicntiuus choke to
further the interests of the whole
South
Certainly any one possessing a
knowledge of the colored population
of my own or any other Surto need
not be reminded of the noble 'con
duct of that people under the most
trying circumstances in the history,
of the late war, when they were bey
ond the protection of the Federal for
ces. While the Confederate army
prtssed hem its ranks every white
male capable of bearing arms [ the
mothers, wives, daughters andsisters
of the Southern soldiers were left de
fenseless and in the power of the
blacks, upon whom the chains of sla
very were still rivetted, and to bind
those chains closer was the real issue
for which so much life and property
was sacrificxxl. And now, sir, ask,
how did that race act Didl they, in
those days of Confederate weakness
and impotenco, evince the malignity
of which we hoar so mach ? Grant
ing for the sake of argument that
they were ignorant and besotted,.
which I do not believe, yet with all
their supposed ignorance and credu
lity they in their way understood as
fully as you or I the awful import of '
the contest. They knew, if gallant
corps of Nationalsoldiers were batten
buck end their flag trailed in the dust
that It was the prtsageofstillheaVier
bondage. They longed, too, as their
fathers before there, for the advent of
that epoch over which was shed the
hallowed light of inspiration itself:
they desired, too, with their fathers,
to welcome the feet of strangers shod
with peaceful preparation of good
news. Weary years of bondage had
told their tale of sorrow to the Court'
of heaven. In the councils of the
Great Father of :all they knew the

Nearly everybody knows:Of the.
existence inlhitt, State of the loyal
order of the Grand Army of, the- Re
public-sfewdierhaps, have nn nem:
ate and thorough conception of what 1
It Is and what lt, Intends-to- do.. We
propoeo to briefly sketch.theoutlines
of the work which the members of '
the Department of Pennsylvania I
have mimed out for themselves.
It is well known that during the
latter Vart'of hest year ft thorough-'
reorgenimation of the ceder was effix , '
ted. - The dry hrtmehm were lopped
off—nominal membership and the
membership of nominal soldiers was
dime away with, . and the . organiza
tion, although perhaps showing • less
on paper than t his, time.hist year, is
in far more efficient miiditlen and
really on a fur stronger : busk It is
flow in working order.
"• At the annual encampment held
in PittsburgJanuary . 26, Major A. It.
Calhoun, of Philadelphia, was chosen
as the Department Commander for'
the coming year. Ills inaugural
order,rmently issued, develops the
Tian oraCtion which the organiza
tion intends to pursue this year, and
from it we are enabled to point out
the leading features of the work.
In the State of Pennsylvania,•over
four hundred thousand men sprang
to arms during the late •war, at the'
call of our imperilled country.
Nearly fifty thousand fell on South-'
ern battle-W(ls or died in Southern
prisons, and as large a number re
turned broken In health, or maimed'
for Ilfeby the bullets of our late foes.
Dmffilte the unparalleled generosity
of the Government in caring for its
defenders, there Ise fearful amount
of misery entailed on the Widow and
the orphan and the maimed, which
the nation's charithes cannot reach or
remedy. This suffering will contin
ue till the soldiers' widow have passed
away, till the soldiers' orphans have
grown to maturity, and till the last
maimed veteran crosses the dark
river and joins the ranks of his com
rades gone before. To care for the
distressed, Air these who have borne
the heavy burthen of the war, to
enforce the pledges made in the, ex-
trona hour of war to the soldiers and I
to his children after him, is the first
great duty of-the-order. As such it
is a beneficial order, and its platform
is broad enough to cover every age 1
and sex - and color and party, asking
but one question, "Was the affliction
brought on by fidelity to our country
in the days of rebellion ?"
But there is another object—to per
,
petuate the friendship (.6i/west by.!
four y(mrsn of war. Comrades who
marched and fought and starved and
bled together are joined by ties too I
I strong to be severed by the disband
ing of thecrushes. It is only natural,
then, that our soldiers should follow'
the example of the soldiers of our
previous want and organize from the',
purest motives to perpetuate that
noblest of feelings. a soldier's friend-.
In addition to the object already
named, however, by the action of the
remit Department Encampment
new work is to be undertaken. . A
committee of comrades has been ap
pointed to look iytu the uninagemeut
oethe schools for soldiers' orphans,
established and maintained by the
noble generosity of this Common
wealth, and to satisfy the order from
personal inspect ion. This great work
alonewould justify the existence of
the organization. We know of not h
ing which would so thoroughly
satiny every good citizen as to the ,
etActency and purity of the *soldiers'
