tee Of Ways and Means-Carried.
Mr.. Combs reported bill for the benefit Of
the officers and soldiersin Mexico; read. The
question being on the second reading Of the
bill, the reporter Of the bill (Mr. Combs) said,
he hoped the rules Of the House and readings
Of the bill would be dispensed with, and this
bill Immediately passed. That the commission
er at Washington, Mr.. ]. L. Edwards, seemed
TO consider every soldier a criminal, and that
fore construed the acts Of Congress to suit
himself, with little regard to reason or justice
and throws every technical difficulty in the
way of the soldiers; he straddles the treasurer's
box and holds the claimants at defance-thus
putting them to much unnecessary trouble and
expense. This bill was similar TO the law now
in force, in reference to Revolutionary soldie "a
and soldiers Of the late war, and ought to be
| passed-carrled.
