General Scott's Petition to be pla-
ced on the P Pension List.

We have seen in various quarters slate
ments relative to the attempt ot General
Scott to have his name placed on the pen
sion list of 1856, on the ground of disability,
while he was receiving full pay and allow
ances for doing duty as general. The state
menls We have seen conflict with each other.
and As none of them conform exactly with
the facts. we have inquired into the matter
for the purpose Of correcting whatever wrong
impression may have gone abroad.
We learn that during the first session Of
the Twenty Fourth Congress, General Scott,
being then An officer in the army, receiving
the pay and emolufnents of his rank, pre-
sent9d petiti'n to Congress praying that
lie might be allowed a pension on the ground
that he had been disabled in the public SER
vice. Had that petition been granted, Gen
eral Scott would have received full pay for
performing his duties, and would have re-
ceiyed at the SINE time, apension, upon the
ground that he had been disabled and could
not perform them. We cannot lay 'py
Of the petition itself before our readers, be.
cause it was never printed, and tie Original
disappeared or was purloined from the files
of the Clerks Oficce of the House of Rep
lresentatives, some years ago. But it wa:
referred to a committee and the report o
the committee npon it is on file. That pa
per is so full and explicit, that the loss o
the petition is Of but little consequence.
1t was made to the House of Representa-
tives on the 9th of June, 1886. by the Hon
J. NJ. II. Beale, then ahd now a member o
Congress from the State of Virginia. BY til,
argument of the committee, the reader can
not fail TO be satisfied as to the nature of til,
statements which the petition contained, anC
the ideas it presented touching the principle
on which the pension laws are based,
At the time when this report was made
General Scott was receiving high pay, an,
lis effort to obtain pension from the Trea
sury on the plea Of disability, can ONLY
escape severe condemnation, by attributin.
to hirl an utter and entire misconception 0
the purpose and intention of the pension
laws. Officers and soldiers whorecelyc pen
sions because OF wounds and Injuries inhict
ed in the line of their duty, do not reccv
pay for the duties they are unable 10 per
form; and officers and soldiers. who recciv,
pay for performing duty, cannot propcrl
receive pension on the plea, OF disability
The pension is granted in ordeI to atforC
lthom assistance on their voluntary retur

Iity for success in the ordinary vocations.- =

Greeley's Pictorial Life Of Scott.

The "lrish American" in noticing this de-
graded appeal to the American peSple
to support General Scott, thus comments
upon one of the pictures which was inten
ded to gull the honest sons of the Emerald
Isle, who have sought ind obtained Il home
from expressions upon our hospitable shores,
into the support of the man for the PresldeD-
lev, whose mind inclined to favor Il total re-
peal of all laws for the naturalization of for
eigners, thus for ever denying to them the
rights OF American citizens. 1t says;
"The wings have issued campaign pic
torial life of Scott which contains one of the
vilest caricatures of Irishmen which ever
emanated fom The filthy pencil Of its author
In scene representing certain Irish prison
ers, one man Is represented as knecIing in
the most slavish and Get attitude, while
the faces of all are represented in such hid
eous deformity, that humanity has, thank
God, nothing equal to it. For the profile
Of one of my countrymen, the artist seems
to have studied an ape or baboon. This
certainly is a strange way of compimenting
us, making us the laughing stock of a ma
ton, and then asking us for our votes for
snch true friends. ''Sare us from urfrinds, :"
we may all exclaim. sd F
This pictorial appeal presupposes that the
masses, whether native or adopted citizens,
are too ignorant to read, comp ehend, and
understand the great principles ofrepublican
equality, and hence their passions are sought
to be reached by pictures which degrade
human nature and debase man in the scale
Of moral and intellectual being. The "Irish
American" fully comprehend this whig ar
gumcnt, and has fustly denounced it as one
of the "vilest caricatnres Of Irishmen which
ever cmanated from the filthy pencil of its
author ..
