SPEAKER HARLAN is proving him self an able and deservedly popular presiding officer. INDIANA is having an interesting time over the U. S. Senatorial election. Harrison's stock remains firm. STATE .SENATOR LINDSAY already occupies an eminence in the senate , both satisfactory and complimentary to his constituency and himself. LAST week's Stockville Faber con tains a comprehensive and accurate re sume of Frontier county. Bro. Powers has done the subject and himself as well great credit. AN exelwige says that the law can not make a man moral , but that it can make him very uncomfortable when he is immoral. This depends largely up on the executives of the law. THE inter-state commerce bill is meeting with considerable opposition in the senate. Even Senator Evarts has been trying his immeasurable sentences upon it ; and it requires a cldver bill to avoid Cassius' ponderous English. CONSISTENCY as a jewel is shining with new lustre. The legislature smokes tobacco of every grade , but prohibits minor clerks from using tobacco , or even smoking cigarettes. Consistency and legislator are not synonymous , this year. WHEN the spring time comes , tra la , is the designated time for that Old World racket of generous proportions. This announcement , however , will not materially interfere with Nebraska's customary spring immigration and gen eral improvement boom. IT doubtless is a matter of humilia tion and regret to the publishers of the State Journal to have the department of that excellent journal , lately presid ed over with all the clever , clean , spark ling ability of Calhoun , fall into the tallons of a black-guard of the instincts of Jay. OUR editorial brethren properly fail to discern and appreciate the B. & M.'s idea of justice in restricting them to very limited "editorial tickets. " while ihe puttering , pot-house politician flour- isheth his annual pass as of yore. How ever , it may be poetic justice from an 1 i B intensely prosaic source. WE understand that Fred. C. Brobst , Esq. , who recently sold his paper , the Yuma Sun. to Mr. Goodspeed , has com menced the publication of another pa per , in the same town. We have not seen a copy of the new venture , proba bly because Brobst feels some remorse about that bill of $0.40 , for stationery , that the owes THE TRIBUNE , the pay ment of which he religiously avoids. Brobst is evidently a typical democrat , believing in "foraging off of the enemy. " Then the same Brobst we believe is the present postmaster at Yuma. GlRLS are of few days and full of mischief , and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise. When the fair young girl cheweth her gum with great haste and stainpeth her pretty foot , do thou look out. She cometh out in the evening in low neck and short sleeves ; but 'in the morning she lieth in bed while her mother hustleth. When the sleigh bells tinkleth , she standeth at the window and yearneth for a beau , and when he cometh she doeth up his purse. He wrappeth'the buffalo robe about her and huggeth her much and stayeth out beyond his time and the liveryman addeth four dollars.to his bill. In the evening he hieth himself to her father's mansion. He goeth in and sitteth by the fire , and ere he leav- eth he poppeth the question and she jumpeth at the chance When the cock croweth he takettt liis departure , and when he remembereth the smallness of his salary he kicketh himself and coinpareth himself to an ass ; yea ver ily. He getteth his license and goeth forth on the morning of his day and < jiaployeth a Godly to do the job , and when the suu setteth he findeth him self a married wan. Belah. Ex , G. A. R. DEPARTMENT. NATIONAL HEADQUARTERS , I GRAND ARMY OF THE REPITBLIC. j Madison , Yis. , Dec. 1 , ' 80. tAI. OllDEItS , I No. 5. ) I. The Commander-in-Chief has been informed that in .some instances Assistant Adjutants-General have neg lected to forward promptly to Posts , the Orders and Circulars for informa tion emanating from these headquarters. In many Posts the Adjutants are said to omit the reading and proper pro mulgation of Orders and Circulars. Tho mere mention of such derelic tions in "matters of plain duty is thought to be sufficient to correct the serious omissions , without referring Comrades to the solemn obligations they took up on themselves voluntarily when install ed into office. There are thousands of veterans out side of our order who are deeply inter ested in much of the subject matter treated in there Orders and Circulars , and who should be possessed of the facts they contain. The Grand Army of the Republic desires to be helpful to them as well as to its own members. It is therefore respectfully suggested to Assistant Adjutant-General and Post Adjutants that they use the local press for the wider dissemination of the information contained in National , De partment and Post Orders and Circu lars. It is presumed that every news paper in the land would willingly pub lish these matters , knowing that a mil lion survivors of the war of 'Gl-5 , and five millions of their families are eager to read them. II. Through the courtesy of the Pension office an advance copy of the report of the Chief of the Army and Navy Survivors' Division of that office , has been furnished National Headquar ters , the substance of which , together withlthe correspondence , is here pro mulgated because of its value to all Comrades : DEPARTMENT OF-THE INTERIOR , ) PENSION OKFICI : , r WASHINGTON , J ) . C. , Nov. 2,1880. ) GEN'I. Lucius FAiitcmi.p , Commander-in- Chief , G. A. E. , Madison , Wis. : Siu : Your attention is invited to the en closed copy of the report , as made by the Chief of thu Army and Navy Survivors' Di vision , for the fiscal year ending June 30 , 'SO. As the Grand Army of the Republic has , in a very great measure , been instrumental in perfecting ; this useful and indispensable branch of the Pension Bureau , it is deemed only fair that the Comrades of every Post should have an opportunity to become fa miliar with its record , and learn from this oflice the amount of work that has already been accomplished , and the va > t service ren dered to veterans everywhere. It is thought furthermore , that if the Comrades of the G. A. K. fully understood the aim of the Divi sion and its facilities for assisting applicants for pension , the knowledge would act as an incentive , and prompt returns from Posts , now delinquent , be the result. It is earnestly desired that before the close of another fiscal year a complete record of the full membership of the Grand Army of the Republic may be on lile in the Army and Navy Survivers' Division. Service cards , with an official frank of the free return of same , will be promptly for warded to any post upon the request of the Adjutant. All requests from Comrades of the G. A. R. , or any veterans , for the addresses of Sur geons , Officers. Comrades or Ship-mates will be responded to at the earliest practical date. Very respectfully , JOHN C. ULACK , Commissioner. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR , ) PENSION OFFICE , > WASHINGTON , D. C. , July l , 1SSO. ) HON. JOHN C. BLACK , Commissioner of Pensions : Siu : * * The aim of the Army and Navy Survivors' Division has been and is , to establish a roster as nearly complete as pos- bible of all the surviving .soldiers and sailors who served in the Union Army or Navy dur ing the late war , together with their present post-offices addresses , thus enabling claim ants for pension to readily obtain the testi mony needed in their claims , also aiding the oflice to detect attempts at imposition. * * The total of names and addresses furnish ed to Departments and Comrades for all pur poses during the past year i ? 14iS18. , The total number of pension cases affected there 23,802. * * * * by was , . During the past few months the war de partment has 'forwarded to this Office all calls made upon it for addresses of Officers and Comrades , with the understanding that the information is to be scut direct to claim ant. This arrangement has proven entirely satisfactory. ot only to the officials of said Department , but to those seeking the infor mation , as the addresses in our file are , with a few exceptions , of recent date , and are almost invariably correct. * * In connection with tiie Surgeon's Roster , I desire to make some explanation : It has for some time been my aim to complete a record of Surgeons of the United States Volunteers , and of Contract Surgeons , who were in charge of , or oil duty in , tho General and Post hospitals throughout the loyal states during the war ; and , for the purpose of collecting the necessary data , several blanks are scut to every surgeon whose name may come before the office in the above con nection. One side of this blank calls for the name of the hospital , whether General. Post or Field , its location , and the number of wards in the same ; and for the full name of the Surgeon , his rank and service and the time on duty in said hospital , to gether with his postoifice address. On the reverse side is a circular fully advising the Surgeon of the data desired and the use of the same. 1 have also been trying for uearly a year to complete a list of all hospitals where Uuion Soldiers were cared for during the war. When completed the list will show the exact location and give the full history of nearly 3,000 hospitals , whether General , Post or Field also of convalescent camps ; and the exact dates of establishment and dis continuance of same. We find the value of these records in such cases as the described : A claimant states that he was wounded at Fort Wagner , South Carolina ; was taken on the hospital ship to Hilton Head , thence to Beaufort , S. C. , where he was sent to a hospital in the house "of Bam- well Rhett. By reference to our list it is im- jinediately ascertained that said house was Hospital No. 3 , Beaufort , S. C. , Department of the South. By a reference , then , Jo our Surgeons' files , we can readily obtain the names of the Surgeons who were on duty at that hospital at the time the claimant was an inmate. That much time and trouble are hereby saved , admits of uo question. * * Circulars have been printed and will soon be mailed to all Tests of the G. A. R. , re questing a list of all members who were at any time incarcerated in Southern prisons , and through this medium we hope for satis factory results. When it is remembered that of the 198,585 soldiers who were actual pris oners of war , 60,000 still survive , it would seem that we ought in some way to gather in their complete history. * * * Eight hundred and thirty-five letters have been addressed to thu Presidents of Regi mental Associations , requesting lists , with P. O. addresses of all who were in attendance at their annual reunions , also describing the necessity for , and usefulness of the same. * In closing , 1 desire to say we are greatly indebted to the Couimander-iu-Chief of the Grand Army of the Republic , General S. S. Burdette , to his Adjutant-General , John Cameron , and to his Assistant Adjutaut- Geueral , Fred. Brackett , for their ready as sistance in all matters pertaining to the good of this Division.
