Distin, of Qtiincy Past Senior Vice Commander, Depart­ ment of Illinois, was iij Chicago Wednes­ day, Thursday, and Friday, attending receptions aud visiting comrades and friends. Oct. 17 a monument was unveiled at Sheboygan, Wis., in honor of Sheboygan County heroes. The monument is of granite, forty-six feet high.

In his address at the Reunion of the Army of the Tennessee at Cincinnati, in speaking to the toast "Atlanta is ours and fairly won," Gen Howard deprecated the burning in effigy of a one-armed comrade, which was recently done at At­ lanta, and it was as easy to protect a Postmaster in Georgia as it was to protect a venerable United State Judge in California. This sentiment called forth thunders of applause from the^ au­ dience. 35 cents, they were paid gold dollars worth 100 cents, with big interest in gold. They have been paid five times as much as the 2,000,000 soldiers who put down, the rebellion and their dependent ones ftkve received in the shape of pen­ sions. The soldiers gave three times as much, actual money value, to the Gov- ernmenet, in the shape of unpaid services, 98 the bondholders lent. The bondhold­ ers have been repaid, literally, seven fold. The soldiers have received but a pittance. It is heaping injustice upon injustice to now talk of reducing the revenues in or­ der to defraud the soldiers of what is justly due them. Let the veterans set themselves as flint against auy tamper­ ing with the revenues until they have been treated something like as well as the bondholders have been. Ler them in every District give Representative to un­ derstand that they expect him to vote against any reduction of the revenues until the legislation recommended by the National G. A. R. Pension Committee is enacted, and that they will remember and resent his failure to do this. Let them deluge Congress with petitions asking that their rights be considered, as the terms of the bondholders' contracts were, before the Government deprives itself of the power to discharge its obligations to the men who saved its life.--National Tribune, ' General Sherman's Trained Eye. An interesting story of General Sher­ man comes, from Philadelphia. When he was last in that city he was riding through Fairmount Park when he saw the Sergeant of the Guard riding toward him. That man Is an old cavalryman," said the General, and when he got oppo­ site to him, he was saluted by the Ser­ geant in a military manner. "Halt, Sergeant," said the General, The latter stopped and again saluted. "You are an old soldier, a cavalryman, Sergeant," said Sherman. Yes, General, of the 7th Cav.; I served twelve years after the war." Ahl then you know of Custer and Major Reno. I was one of the fortunate ones of that command to escape and be rescued by Terry." Sherman smiled. Then the old soldier told again the story of the massacre. At the conclusion General Sherman said. Sergeant, let me shake hands with you; you are a brave man." "1 never make a mistake," added the never rides like th settled all doubts." Information For Comrades. The soldiers, and widows of all soldiers, who served in any war prior to the war! of the rebellion are all pensioned. Veterans who lost one foot and one hand, or are totally disabled in both, can receive a pension for each disability at full rating. 1 A pensioner whose name has been drop­ ped from the rolls can apply for its res­ toration thereto at aDy time, no matter for what reason his name was so drop­ ped. \ ' If a soldier, while prisoner of war, join­ ed the Confederate army, even if he de­ serted therefrom and rejoined the Union forces before firing a shot, he cannot, nor can his heirs, receive a pension. Every comrade should constantly bear in mind that taxation was kept up to the highest point until every man who lent the Government money was paid to the last cent implied by the letter of his bargain. It was kept up until the bondholders were paid over four thousand'million dollars. Where tbey tat Opinions of the Press Regarding the Appoint­ ment of General Raum. Tofodo Blade: His choice will be' gen­ erally approved, not only by the politi­ cians, but by the members of {he Grand Army of the Republic. New York Pressc Nobody needs to ask who is Raum, for the whole country re­ members his conspicuous and honora­ ble service as Commissioner of Internal Revenue. Minneapolis Tribune: The appoint­ ment of General Raum is a case of the office seeking thfe man. That is one good eason for believing that he will prove the right man in the right place. Omaha Republican: It can be safely predicted of him that he will do full and exact justice to every old soldier whose case may come before him, while at the same time observing all the legal limita­ tions to his action. Cleveland Leader: He is entitled to a fair chance and should be judged only by his acts and not by any feeling of resent­ ment at a chango of officials. His ap­ pointment is not due to the pressure of politicians. Even the senators of his own State had no idea that he would be selected. It is clearly a choice of the President's own making, and it is equally clear that the sole consideration was his fitness to conduct the office according to the laws, with justice to the veterans and the protection of the government in view- Boston Traveler: The Hon. Green B. Raum, of Illinois, is to be Commissioner of Pensions, and no worthier man could have been taken. General Raum is an incorruptible public servant, and has been tested in most important public re­ lations in connection with our revenues and finances. He is a soldier with a noble record, and the American people will feel assured that in his selection a very judicious settlement of a trouble- tfOme issue has been accomplished. A SOUTHERN VIEW,. Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle: President Harrison has acted. Green B. Raum, ex- Internal Revenue Commissioner, is Tan­ ner's successor. Mr. Ranm is a gentle­ man and a scholar. Quincy Whig: In the appointment of General Green B. Raum to the-Commis- sionership of Pensions, the President has given another illustration of the care and judgment which he has exercised in the selection of men to till the important offices of the government. General Raum is an Illinoisan, a brilliant lawyer, a man of rare executive ability, and thoroughly conversant with the laws governing the office over which he has been called to preside. He was a gallant soldier, has been prominent in G. A. R. circles since the organization of that association of veterans, and enjoys the confidence of the old soldiers and men who were not soldiers to a degree surpassed by few men o*4i**co«i IH6ALLS IB L0TAL. Certain resolutions reported to have been adopted by N. L, Farnham Poet, No. 458, Department of New Yovk,CL A. R. have been exteimvly publsabsd and circulated throughout the countay, wl>«r* said Farnham Post declare that "tke <m* ly veterans who are of right nnttflstf to pensions are those whose pecuniary cav enmstanees are so unfortunate as to jn#* tify them in-burdening the country with their support, and who by woau l̂ or disability incurred in the service Cit th8 country as combatants are prevented from earning a living in thisr raipeetiv® callings, as they might have done such wounds or disabilities not beeninemr* red, and "That it is apparent to this post the action of some government offidhfe, and the illconsidered talk of some popu­ larity seeking legislators (notably Sena* tor Ingalls, of Kansas,) in regard to tte pension laws, are calculated to do serf® injury to the hardly won reputati n. of good soldiers and the Grand Amy, and "That any old soldier who apples Its' or accepts a pension, except under the conditions above set forth, is, in the opinion of this post, guilty of conduct calculated to injure the good men who were and are willing to give their blood and their lives for the country, without any reward beyond the approval of tfceir own consciences and that honorable name which is dear to every patriot." The above quoted resolutions of ham Post amount to a declaration that no ex-soldier or sailors is entitle*! to a pension unless he is dependent upon the public for support, and that he is pi*» vented by wounds or disability received in the service from earning a living, also that any ex-soldier or sailor who ac* cepts a pension, unless he be a diasfaled pauper, disgraces good soldiers and the Grand Army of the Republic; thewfotV it was resolved by Charles T. Poster Port No. 42, of Michigan G. A, R, that th*** regard the above quoted declarations of Farnham Post as a total perversion of the true principle upon which the pension system of this and aU other civilised tions is based. They repudiated the declarations Farnham Post with indignation, M tut- worthy of the Grand Army of the ] lie, believing Senator Ingalls, of loyal to the core.--Inter Oteim.

He was one of the first to respond to thecal! of the President for troops in 1861, and from the battle of Bull Run to tbe final glorious victory before PetetalWBfg, which earned for him the title of^Tthe Hero of Fort Steadman," and a Ifcjor General's rank, his career was an hoatora* ble and brilliant one.

"Vflien Gfeneral Grant was asked* «B§df you take Lee's sword at Appomattox T" he replied, "No, I did not. lm came there wearing the magnificent sword which the State of Virginia gave him, but I did not want him to surrender it to me. I sat down at once and busied myself writing the terms of the surrender. Whea I had finished I handed them to Qcnsnl Lee. He read them and remarked, Tlngr certainly are very generous terms, la- deed.' He then told me the cavalrymen owned their horses, and if they were d»~ prived of them they eould not put in th* crops. Then I gave the order: 'Take your horses home with you, for youH need them in the spring plowing.'"
