To the Hon. E. STANLY.

Mr. EVANS who was in the chair this morning
during the debate between Messrs. Pickens and Stan
ly on leave recapituated the circumstances under
which the debate took place. with view of correcting
any misunderstanding between the parties. He, Mr..
E.. had not called the gentleman from Sonth Carolina
to order, because he understood him as referring to
the arguments of the gentleman from North Carolina,
(Mr. Stanly,) and as intending no personal appiea
ton. This The gentleman from South Carolina had
of course a right to do the arguments ofevcry gen
tieman were open to attack. But he, Mr. f., believed
that the gentleman from North Carolina had miscon
ceived the object of the gentleman from South Carol-
ma and appeared have understood the language as
intended 10 apply personally instead of TO the argu
ment
Mr.. E. then appealed to Mr.. PIcKENs, whether he
had not taken correct view of the
Mr.. PICkENS ON being thus appealed to, said, in
substance that he had INDUCED in rdicue freely, but
within the limits Of parliamentary usage, and he had
hesitation in saying that the rdicue intendedto
apply solely TO the arguments Of the gentleman.
On similar appeal being made by Mr.. EVANS 10
Mr.. SNANLY the latter observed in substance, that,
at the time he disposed to think the strong Ian
guage Of the gentleman from South Carolina as some,
thing more than ridicule; but the gentleman had
disclaimed any personal illusions, he MIR. 81 was
willing to take the remarks they were intended,
and wished his language in reply to be understood IN
like manner

FOR THE ENQUIRER,

One OF the Resolutions Of the late Wing County
Convention noticed in terms Of reprObatiOn the ref,
sal OF the past Congress to continue force the Act of
1885, which granted pensions to those widows of the
soldiers Ofthe Revolution who were married after the
war, and previous the LIST day Of January 1894.
sketch Of the proceedings by which the Bill to con.
tnue these pensisAls was Quashed may perhaps in-
tcres, some OF your-eaders.
A Bill for this purpose had passed the Honse Of
Representatives, and required only the concurrence
Of the Senate and the signature Of the Executive to
have become law. when on one Of the last days oil
the session Mr. Pierce Of New.H Hampshire, the Chair
man Of the Pension Committee in the Senate, made
violent attack on the principle Of the original Bill lie.
nouncng it as having had it's origin in loose system
Of legislation, without cuims the favorable consde-
ration Of the Senate, and destitute Of any just founda-
.ion. To these sentiments Mr.. Benton responded,
highly applauding The independence and patriotism
Of Mr.. Pierce in opposing bill 90 deeply interesting
and desirable to his own constituents aud New-Eng-
land in general
MIR. Calhoun followed Mr.. Benton, and with much
vehemence Of manner told the Senate and especially
the gentlemen from New. England. ito which section
he said he found most Of the pensioners of government,
belonee6,I that unless this pension system--ths
UieeutHk WItutts ~ he tebHleO Twas etOppeup ne
should oppose all increased expenditures for the No.
Wy; the efficient organization Of which the protec.
ton Of the of tho east depended that from
reference to European tables, i. was eviden, tina,
great frauds had been committed on the government,
that vast many names were the pension list with
out q shadow of rgh, he added that those for whom
it was the object Of this bill to provide had rendered
no services to the country. that their pensions
mere gra,uiiies, which the government had 10 right
10 bestow. '-f'f
Mr.. IIuNrrseroN. in reply to Mr.. CALHOUN, stated
that sufficient reason Tor the number Of pensioners
in New.Englsnd exceeding those Of any other sec.
lion nigh, be found in the fact that New-Engand had
furnished most Of the soldiers Of tile Revolution for
instance, Connecticut had furnished more than $4,000
regular soldiers during the war, while the chvalry Of
South Carolina had furnished only about 6Ooo.
The following tabular statement, presented to Con-
gress in 1911. exhibits the total number Of regular
soldiers raised during the Revolutionary war, as well
