CO o m 3 C How Pensions are Obtained. i We are reading the New York Trib une with increasing interest and in creasing astonishment. When it is not turn in sr a cold shoulder toward Secretary Blaine or accusing Senator Plumb of not knowing what the re publicans of Kansas want, or insinuat ing delicately but obviously that Sena tor Quay is an unscrunluns enrrnntimi. ist, it is announcing t he end of nensimi legislation, and denouncing the rapacity of the pension grubbers. Its Washing ton dispatch of August 15 brings us this statement: ; Reference has been made in these dispatches to the extraordiary fact that certain clerks in the Pension Bureau do not hesitate to reverse. wIiph flmv so desire, not merely the rulings of the Commissioner of pensions, who is their inmiedte offical suoerior. but pv.. the decisions of the Secretary of the Interior to whom the ConimisK.niipr , subordinate. The correspondent then wives n his tory of the pension claim of John S Garrison. This man enlisted in lfdi - mm. m. . J ruary, 1864, at a time when bounties were high. He i?ot into n p.kp nf diar rhoea in July, and staid till April, 1805, when, the w ar being over, he recovered sufficiently to return to his regiment, and he was mustered out in March. 1800. He put in no evidence to din- any diarrhoea between the stirriiiW of Lee and his muster out H pplied for a pension until fourteen years had elapsed since his diselmr e. wnen, rne limitation on the arrears of pensions having been suspended, it o eurred to him, as it did to tens of thou sands of other hearty survivor of the war, that a lump sum a ml to even u small pension for fourteen or fifteen years was worth trying for, anywav, and on May 25. 1S8.). he nut in his application for a pension. In the course of his adverse decision Assistant Secretary Hawkins. Decem ber 23, 1880, said: It appears in the records of this ease that the appellant is an employe in the Peusi.tn Office and has been so pmnlov. ed since Deeemljer, 1870. It would seem an easy matter for hin to prove by his chief or comrades employed what his physical condition was in 18 G, when he first entered Gevem-T inent employ, or what it has been dur ing the past eight or ten years. He could have shown by the iceords, if he so desired, how much time he lost by sickness; but this he declines to do. The client acted as his own attorney iu the prosecution of his claim, and it is to be fully presumed that his duties as u clerk in your office so many years made him thoroughly acquainted with the laws and rules relating to pensions; yet he had most eertaiulv failed to file t ne ordinary ciiain of evidence to prove mat ne nas oeen disable by reason o chronic diarrhcei, in a pensionable de gree, trom discharge to the present time. As Garrison is a clerk in the Pension Office, he is not disabled in anydegree whatever from earning a living which is equal to at least twice the average income of a citizen of the United States. The application had been rejected by the Pension Office, and probably w hile the office was under Colonel Dudley or Mr. Clarke, for the appeal was taken May 15, 1885. Judge Hawkins's de cision Wits a denial of Garrison's appeal. And yet in June. 188U, nothing new having occurred in the case since the decision by the Interior Department, "three clerks in the pension Bureau," says the correspondent of the Tribune, "set aside this formal decision in a remarkable slip, of which the following is a copy:" Respectfully returned to the chiei Tot the board of review. I am of the opinion that the evidence filed is suf ficient to justify a legal approval for chronic diarrhoea, and so recorimend. There is a record of diarrhoea; the same is to be found on medical ex nnina- j tion; the testimony of his mother and other withnesscs tends to show con tinuance; and 1 am entirely satisfied that the claimant would not, under any circumstances, make a falsy state ment. J. P. IjOTi:rop, Reviewer. Co n c nr Me W hot er. Approved F. W. Poor, Chief Board of Review, On the strength of tlnsslipby which three clerks reversed a decision mad by the Coniintssiouei of Pension and ar firmed by the Secretary of the Interior, a pension was issued to Garrison, s clerk in the office performing his dailx work and drawing his semi month pay with regularity, and arrearges fo. 24 years were paid to him in si lumj sum. The Tribune does not tell u. what the amount of the pension is, but if it were only 4 a month, and Tannei had ordered that, nothing less be grant ed, the arrearages would amount to $1, 152. Incidentally, we observe with pleas ure that under the influence of partial return sanity the Tribune i disposed to think the decision of s. Democrat ic, Secretary of the I liter 10 ought to be binding on three Republi can clerks. A year wzo it would have - r1 ci cordially applauded Lothrop, MeWhor ter and Poor for reversing a democratic Secretary's decision adverse to a pension claim. The Tribune's correspondent is moved to say: The concluson is irrestible that the three clerks based their extraordinary action upon the point or plea presented in J he closing sentence: ' And I am entirely satisfied that the claimant would not, under anv eireumst.:tnpp mL-a n filsj statement." The adoption of mis new l ienor ov aopi'i ictiug officers and the vetr.city of c' limant; being not only permitted to take the place of iicce.-s.iry isrimony, out to warrant the decision of a bureau office and of ins superior, the Secretary, would seem to be a new departure fraught with considerable danger, and one which would open an unusually large field for remunerative explotation to that vast army of claimants whosif proofs are as defective as their greed of gain. These three clerks are still occupy ing higkaiKl important places in tin Bureau of Pensions; they, together with the lary-e class of thiMi-!v...r..,n. ers who are still "in sitirr" nMrflMii, run" the office indeed, one of th three is acting as chief clerk of the bureau at this writino- If ; ... . W tins class that several have recently been selected for important promotions, while the promotions of ofhpisi l..wJ i w - ft o nave b?en m ule upon their rrecomendations. M . .

This particular case is not !y r.nv m-ans the only one, or the m nt start I'ng, which has come u infer the notice f the correspondent ofljfhe Tribune. But it is typical of a large class, ami should serve to stimulate the ; ardor to reform abuses for which Conrmissioner tlatnn enjoys an enviable reputation.

Aly late several weeks of traveling in thej "Old North State" that is south, yet not too southern, persuade me that I was amazingly ignorant a-! lo thi one of our fifteen "original packages," that I then represented a large north western class not vet exhausted, and that I ought to make them this dis closure. To-day I question whether another State in the Union is possessed of eaual natural resources, lor maintaing Ikersell is a-sepr.te and exeluseve little em pire. Jjying half way between the lakes and the gulf, with her feet in the eean,anl strenehing westward o.vr lowland, upland and moutuin sections. till her head is bolstered by the Snirjlcv Mountains 7,000 feet up undo'X) miles away, she holds the golden mean of this temperate z me, and is gifted with bountiful variety of climate and pro duction by great change in" elevations. And still, shielded west-northwest by her private mountains, and the irulf strerm washing her coasts, she keeps mild tempered even at mid winter, vegetation in parts always growing, and stock always grazing even in the mountains at new year's. Her soil is productive of all good things fo eat. drink, weare, and ki e; warm by, besides something to chew; and two thirds of her 52,000 square miles is still shadow ed by forests of heavy timber. Her pockets full of useful minerals, noiaoly iron, gold and copper. su; enjoys a rainfall of forty-five inches, Ins a mean summer warmth that is not mean of 75 degrees, .and a winter coldness of 48. n the midst of tar, pitch and turpen tine, she revels in good health. She grows chiefly cotton, corn, tobacco, wheat, oats, rice and rye. Her factor ies handle cotton, wool, tobacco, iron, paper, furniture and cottonseed oil. In tier fish and oyster beds sleeps milli his of tons of food enough foi people of brains, and those who need them. She rides upon 1,100 miles of many streams by steam craft, and his railways enoijgh to to Idle around comfortably on. So, yon see, she could manage to live alone -a nice old maid if the rest of the country gave her the mitten. Now let me open my note-book a little more and detail. Stand on deck n the mouth of Tar River, and looking e ward to the "Banks" yon coyer a t.ventv-mile breadth of! shallows. It is Pamlico Sound at its widest. It is uxty miles in length, and the country elerk will show yon chart of its survey nt lots, and the entry of t e to many ol cks of odd shape and s.ze. They are maturely oyster beds, artificial beds, and m my still implanted. There- and n adjoining small soun Is, are oyster farhrs of one million acres; and at Savannah Hunched on Pamlico oysters as robust as if selected iu Baltimore, while shad, herring bluefish, Spanish mackerel, mullet, sturgeon, etc., yield to commerce an an nual catch of 50,(KX), 000 pounds. Try to go a shoreend at many points you will wonder, for many miles, whether you are on land or jtnder water, so thoroughly on a level with the sea does the State begin; portions of those lowest bottoms are drai liable, and others are becoming so by wider inland cultivation. A few miles farther ba'.-k you are on the seacoimt terrace -of t.ie State, a timber shelf running forty miles without curve, cut, r -j most iy a productive sand loam, the habitat of Mi. " cypress, white cedar, live oaks, g,'ap nn other fruits, as lavish a the Prom ised Land. This is one of the grand patches where grow the early water melons of commerce, and present means ot transportation seem tired with ovet carriage of the forest products After 120 miles in this old valley of the deep, you meet.a rapid assent to to the second plateau, a change of cli mate soil, surface, vegetation; and now annd hills and valhevs nf v ;.,a -..a. . e.uonmoig Halt the State, you feel unueac nome.

The atmosj he e is de r a 1 y!e cooler then lelow. a id its partakes more active.. This ;s the solid section of the State, the teritorv of principal agriculture and manatac u'riirr industries. Many Friends made home? here at ane.irly day, and their habits 0. thrift have given character to the community. I was anrd their blos s mnng orchards of peach, pear, apple, .ppncot and cherry of great size in the region of Greeusbor ., wh le vine yards are numerous and garde is ; nd neglected fields are laden with all the small fruits. Man v tons of wild ber ries gathered and dried, net a comfort able f ,11 pin money tlrousands fur wo rn en and chile n. This is the Piedniont section, where the golden belt is ten tothirtv miles in width across the State. . And in the United States assay office at Charlotte L learned from Prof. (L B. Hanna that mie hundred mines are worked as steadi ly as the farms; that the mint was es tablished there in 1835, and up to the war time coined money; that up to '48, vhen North Carolina mines yielded ne-half of the gold of the country; and that the leading mine, the Gold till!, has yielded up to date $2. 0 1,000. A d from the superinten dent of the St. Catherine mine, I learned that the negro is estimated the best mining help, and commonly em ployed. But this colored monopolist dosen t get rich on fe e.itv-five cent- i day, sometimes a dollar; and that is the savage income of unskilled labor there. Here the current of m.-inv sh-pmw ; rapid, the opportunity for dam m in" excel lent, and the State geologist MVe me Ins estimate of the water-power as equal to ;j,000,000 house-power; equal to the aggregate steam power of all the States. And within easy distance of this power stands the million of acres )f beautiful white oak, ash, elm, pine, bird s eye maple, walnut and the lik, while her hills could grow many fold more cotton, and her mountain pas tures 'maintain unlimited flocks. So the materials, the power and skill to work them need only be brought to gether to make her the peer of the best in many manufactures, te-day twenty, cotton factories, thirteen woolen mills nine cotton-seed oil mills, four raje mills, five paper factories, many flouring mills, six furtilizer factories, twenty iron and steel works meielv smmlo Hi. capacity for good works, not to name rne 4U tobacco manufactories, nearly half of them at Durham alone, the wealthiest town in the State. But the finest feature in labor there, is the fact that three-fourths of the people are engaged iu agriculture, through some of them after a rude model: and about two-thirds of the farms are tilled by- cneir owners. The mountain section, twenty-five to forty miles wide, is full of romance as well as utility. The main surface is undulating plateau, about 2,500 feet above sea, with many knobs and peaks of twice to thrice that height, a few of them bild-heads, but mostly clothed w.tli grass and forests to the top. Pine, hemlock, birch and chestnut, with rare dowering and medicinal plants, decorate the slopes, and mountain stream? have cut canons between the ranges, and now laugh between the soliil banks of a 1.000 upriszht feet as thev tumbled on untam d. I have wandered through Colora lo and looked upon nothing more enchanting. Cattle range there unfed all winter; fruits, vines and vegetables thrive far up the side of the peaks, and narrow valleys are of the finest mold; yet only tin pr cent of the surface lies felt the caress of plow. Numerous minerals besides the iron and copper, exists among the mountains notably mica and corundum; and the vet limited working of the beds ha yielded gems in wide variety, as em it i i . i . eraiu, ruoy, sapiure, agare, opai, garnet bervl a few diamonds. The mountain section is thinly peo pled and most of the people are white. vVithal, it is a charming and whole some land, with a feature vastly grea ter than its. past.

Pretty soon, however. uKil,M as the boys called this general, appeared on the scene, having narrowly escaped in undress uniform. His presence always inspired his, men and the rallying processs began. It was doubtful, np lnll work for a time, the men bein" intent only on individual escape. At a critical moment in theencounter the division colors were seen to move about in the disorganized mass of de moralized men and the puestion was then settled.
