Vermont Soldiers' Home, The fund for the establishment and maintenance of a Soldiers' Home in Vermont now amounts to 920,0C0, which sum was appropriated by the Legislature. Half of this amount was voted by the Legislature in 1884 to se­ cure a site and erect buildings, and the balance of 910,000 was appropriated this year for the support of the pro­ posed Home for the ensuing two years. The Trustees, after looking about the State, dually decided to locate the institution In Bennington, the heirs of the late Hon. Trenor W. Park having generously offered to transfer as a gift the large and valuable estate known as the Hunt property for the purpose of a Soldiers' Homo. The property comprises 300 acres of One meadow and ti«nb?r land, valued at over #50,000, Tlie property can be put In go6d re­ pair for 92.000, and will be ready, for occupancy within a short time. The Trustees have canvassed the State carefully, and find that there ar« about 75 Veterans who would become inmates of the Home as soon as it was opened. Me Ws« a Mew Uonvert. When Gen. Sherman entered Oolds- boro, N. C , after his march to the sea, on hi* way to join Graut before Rich­ mond, there dwelt in that town a cer­ tain Col. X.. who was one of the most rabid secessionists that eould be found. His house was situated in the north end of the city, and at the end of a street so that any one coding Into town from the south would see his res­ idence as soon as he would enter the south end of this same street. When Gen. Sherman and staff came into the town they came up this street and stopped just In front of Col. X.'s resi­ dence. 1 be colonel, who was out on bis porch, greeted them, and an officer, saluting him, asked what his senti­ ments were in regard to the war, "I am a strong union mtn," answered the colonel, with a dry smile, "Ah, indeed," said the officer, rather sarcastically; "and how long b*ye you been a union man f" "I have been a union man," said the colonel slowly, and as if considering his words, **ever since t saw you and your staff come into the end of that street, about fifteen minutes ago," The candor in the colonel's reply pleased Gen. Sherman, and he ordered * guard placed around Col. X.'s prop­ erty, and during the entire stay of the army in Goldboro, not a thing was molested In or around his premises, al­ though a great many of the fine pri­ vate. as well as public buildings, were burned and pillaged. The Pension U«|, s At the request of the Union Army of the Republic Senator Blair has introduced a bill making compre­ hensive changes in the penson laws. The bill practically removes the limi­ tation of arrears of pension act and makes the fact of the enlistment into the service of the United States evidence of physical soundness at the time of enlistment. It enlarges the classes of persons to be entitled to the benefits ot the pension laws so as to include all who may have been dis­ abled while actually engaged in services of the Untted States, whether they were mustered or not. It also grants a pension to all lemale nurses in the late war who shall htve arrived at the age of 50 years, are without the means of comfortable support. It pro­ vides that there shall be two classes of pensionable disabilities, vlx: Specific and non specific. Non-specific disabil­ ity Is defined as one the nature and degree of which can not be determined without the aid of evidence or of medical examination. The pensionable disabilities are graded from one to twenty, according to the degree of which can not be determined rlthoat the aid of evidence or of medical ex­ amination. The pensionable disabilN ties are graded from one to twenty, according to the degree of injury in> carred. '"The rate of pension for minor children increased from 92 to 95 per month. The pension office is required to give every claimant ten days notice of the time and place of any special examination into the merits of his claim or of any inqnlry by letter to postmaster or the neighbors of the claimant concerning his disability or credibility or the credibility of his wit nesses. The Pension Office is debarred from receiving information under agreement to conceal the source or subject matter from the applicant. It Is made unlawful to reject a claim upon evidence secured by secret in­ vestigation, or because the records of the War or Navy Department fall to show the existence of disease, wound, or injury. It Is also made unlawful to reduce a pension or strike the name of a pensioner from the rolls without giving . thirty days' notice to the person affected. When a claimant who Is entitled to arrears of pension dies before the claim is adjudicated the widow, minor children, and de­ pendent relatives shall be entitled to the pensions. The bill also oorrecte what are. held to be imperfections In many minor matters of tbe present pension laws. "Such further sum as may be neceaary to pay the pensions granted under the pro visions of this act.'isappro- ated In addition to the 975,000,000 ap­ propriated by the last pension bill. ••Special Legislation," The President and those who «ym- pathlse with him are trying to make capital out of a general tirade against "special legislation" In pension cases. 'See tbe unfairness of the system." he and they say. t(Here is Brown, who was a good soldier, and was undoubt­ edly broken down In his country's service, but he cannot get a Congress­ man to enlist in his behalf because he does not happen to be an active politi­ cal worker, or he is of different politi­ cal faith from the Representative of hisDIstrjot; therefore lie cannot offer any inducement for an earnest espousal of his cause. He must there­ fore go without any relief. On the other band, Jones, who was a sblrkand a bummer, ii an 'active 'heeler,' and does good work for his man at tbe primaries. Therefore, heaven and earth aro moved to give him a pull out of tbe Treasury This argumeot Is specious, but very unsound. Still further, It cunningly evades the real Issue. Thanks to the G. A. R. and to tbe feelings of generosity aud justice common among our people, no deserv. ing and broken-down soldier lacks influence sufficient to strongly interest his Representative in bis behalf. It matters little whether his politics be in accord with those of his Represent­ atives or not. If he has a good soldier record, and is needy, public opinion will force the Representative to exert himself in his behalf. Quite early in every politician'.* career be learns that the hearts of the people are with the veterans, and that they will appreciate kindness done them. The cowardly "shirks"--such of them as are still alive-- are not conspicuous for political activity and influence. A man who slunk anl skulked in the army Is not likely to have force enough to make himself felt In any way at home. The President fling would imply that the great If not greater portion of the soldiers were skulkers and cowards. This Is frightful Injustice to an army which did more fighting In proportion to its numbers and length of service than any other in modern history. The President harrangues against "special legislation" as something vicious in itself. This betrays his ig­ norance cf the true spirit of our insti­ tutions as badly as other features of his vetoes do. It Is inevitable with our form of Government that we should have special legislation. In­ deed, whenever general laws are made applying to tbe wide range of cases, there must be a special legislation. It is the rule that the operation of all general laws is attended with injustice and hardships which must be reme­ died by special euactmont. This is particularly true of such an institution as the pension system. Every consideration or wise economy dictates that the expenditure of great sums of money, such as the Pension Bureau pays out every year, shall be carefully regulated by general laws. Of necessity these laws must be made stringent In their application, and those charged with tbe disbursement should be allowed as little discretion as possible. It would be rank tolly and extravagance to do otherwise. But this compels special legislation to meet special cases, in which the general laws either work an absolute lojuctios or fall to give the deserved relief. It is the right and duty of Congress which has the prerogative of making tbe general laws, to take cognizance of the exceptional oases in which these may work badly and supplement them by spocial action suited to Individual instances.
