For the Grand Army.
prom the Morning News.
Puck, in its current number, repro
duces from Frank Leslie's Illustrated
News, of March 19, 186-1, a full page
illustration, entitled “Recruiting for
the War.” The scene presented is at
a recruiting office in City Hall Park,
New York. It is not a cartoon, but
a realistic picture of war times. A
sign over the door of the recruiting
station has upon it the following :
.{0,000 VOLt'NTKKKH WANTED.
County bounty cash dow n
State bounty
United States bounty for new recruits... 3U2
Total to new recruits
United States bounty to veteran soldiers
extra _
Total to veteran soldiers 4 4
Fifteen dollars hand money paid to any
party who brings a recruit.
In front of the office can be seen
the newly arrived immigrant, the
bar-room bent, the tramp and old
drunkards, and among them are
agents, policemen and others, eager
to get the *15 hand money for each
recruit, who are trying to induce
them to enlist. From -9300 to 8‘-\-
500 was paid for substitutes by those
who were drafted. From an im
mense floating population, ship loads
of immigrants, and with unlimited
money raised upon depreciated bonds,
on which the people are now paying a
premium, armies were collected
which overran the south, Puck, on its
usually very readable editorial page,
has, in this number, some interesting
paragraphs relating to the war of
secession, for the benefit of those Writ
since tne war, or who were too young
during the war to know much about
it. The paragraphs close with the
following, which are line shots at the
grand army patriots who are reducing
thesurplus:
The “draft” began in IS*).'!. It
brought into the field the enormous
army that crushed the confederate
force. Handled by competent com
manders, that army was useful and
effective. It contained thousands of
brave and devoted men. It likewise
contained thousands of men who
fought only because they had to
fight. It was composed of three
classscs :
l; Those who were drafted and
had fo go.
2. Those who were hired as sub
stitutes for others.
3. Those who were attracted by
the enormous bounties offered by the
government.
* * * * *
We wrote last week a few words of
grateful tribute to the. men who vol
unteered in 1861. It is our less
pleasant duty this week to recall the
fact that a large portion of the union
army was composed of men who did
nut volunteer, or who volunteered
only upon promises of large rewards.
Wc recall this fact, not to wound
patriotic American pride; hut to ex
press our sincere conviction that it is
not the brave volunteers of the late
war, but the calculating bounty-seek
ers, the unwilling drafted men, the
bought substitutes, whose sordid
greed has to-day degraded the Grand
Army of the Republic to a political
machine and the United States pen-
'sion office to an institution for the en
couragement of mendicancy.
“It always sort o’ makes me feel
sad aud down-hearted to read about
the prodigal son in the Hible,” said
Farmer Slikcns to his male ofl-sprin;
who was home on his summer vaca
tion.
“Y-a-a-s.”
“Yaws,” echoed the old man, as
his lips curled contemptuously, “he
came back and says honorably aud
flatfooted : ‘I’ve done wrong an’ I
want another chance.’ ”
“Y-a-a-s?”
“Yaws; he didn’t come back to the
farm pizenin' the very butterflies with
the smoke from his siggerccts an’ say:
‘Pops, old boy, I’m dend broke;
couldn’t you let me have a twenty to
keep up my end with the fels at the
club?’ Not much he didn’t.”
And the old man heaved a sigh and
went out to feed the hog.—Hail Fran-
cisco Wasp.
