Ben Hill got in a heavy blow upon Jim Blaine's right eye in the discus sion of the proposition to place Grant on the retired list as a General. Hill told the Maine bel lower, according to the Washington correspondent of the Richmond Dispatch, that the Ameri can people honor the brave men who fought during the war'' and stopped fighting when it ended, but that they have no respect for those who only commenced to fight when the war was over. . Hill made another ; good point1 in the discussion. He said he would gladly vote for the bill if it "would really retire Grant for life, but the trouble was he would not stay re tired J' Here is yet another "jo-darter" for Blaine. He said he would be willing to help Grant if the time should ever come .when he would need it. But the Senator from Maine (Blaine) was a very fast man, and wanted to help a mau before he need ed it. "I don't vote for men, I vote for principles,1 continued Mr. Hill. "I don't know what the Senator from Maine voles for; I've never been able to find out."
