The Globe complains Of Republican Senators for
advocating the restoration Of the Navy Pension Fund
The law of 1887, il nimates, was q stealthy passed
through Congress- by interested persons and has ex
hausted the Fund. Well, who did in Has the
Globe forgotten that the law created by the Van
Buren, party--passed by Van Buren, Congress
proved by President Van Buren,, and executed, and
the fund exhausted under the auspices of Van Blu
rem Secretary of the Navy2 The prominent agent
in the Legislation of which the Globe now complains
was Leonard Jarvis, at that time Van Buren, mem
Der OF the House. The law Of 1887, was much in
debted to him for its existence and he was afterwards
rewarded by Mr.. Van Buren, by an appointment To
the Navy Agency at Boston The deficiency in the
fund caused by the late Administration, was found by
the present Secretary to be about $l39OOO and now
the Globe finds fault with Messrs Choate Bates
Huntington, and Evans, for endeavorng to restore to
the pensioners the amount which its own friends con.
trived to wrest from them.
