Pensions to Soldiers of 1919.

The Commissioner of Pensions, in his circu-
lar accompanying the publication of the act
granting pensions to soldiers and sailors of
1912, refers TO three classes Of claims which
will arise under this act, viz:
First OF officers, soldiers, and sailors, who
served for sixty days, who have never been
Pcusioucd fora disability incurred in the SER
vice Of the United States. These will be en-
titled TO a full pension Of eight dollars per
month from February II, 1871.
Second. OF officers, soldiers, and sailors, who
served for sixty days, but who are in receipt of
a pension for disability incurred in the service
Of the United States These viii be entitled
to an increase Of their pension to eight dollars
per month from February II, 1871.
Third OF widows of officers, soldiers, and
sailors. who served sixty days, who were mar
RED to the soldier prior to the treaty of peace
which terminated said war, december -,
lSli.l and who hare not since remaT'ed-
These will be entitled to eight dollars per
month from February Il, 1871.
The Commissioner says that if the term of
service was less than sixty days there can be
no claim except the person who served has
been personally mentioned in resolution Of
Congress for some special service in which
case he or his widow will be entitled the same
as though the service had been sixty days, or
over.
That an honorable discharge will, in all
cases, be necessary.
That the declaration Of claimants must be
made before a court Of record or before some
officer Of such court having custody of its seal.
That the claimants identity and loyalty
must be proven by two witnesses certified by

Die, who are present and witness the signature
Of the decIamut, and certify to his identity

In the House, on the Goth, under suspcn-
sion ofthe rules, House Bill No. 200, " the cleo

ordered to engrossment. This bill repeats the

On the 2Srd in the Senate, the bill to re-
move the county scat of jefferson to Charles
town came up on its passage, the vote stood

Messrs Scott of Richie, Hartman and Price
against, and Messrs Davis, Kline and Dayton
in favor Of the decision. The decision of the
Chair was sustained by a vote Of 10 to Q, the

Virginia.

Owing to an omission on the part Of the
Legislature to provide Senator to succeed
Judge Johnston after the ith Of March, the
State will remain but partially represented
If such term can be applied to Mr.. Lewis
until an election can now be made. Under
the act of Congress it cannot take place before
the 14th of March, bit in the meantime the
organization Of the Senate will have been
made and all the committees distributed
This is greatly to be regretted for the sake of
Virginia, whose interests must necessarily
suffer by the exclusion from share Of the
consideration to which she is entitled. There
seems to be little Doubt that Judge Johnston
will be reelected to the place which he has
filled with so much credit and advantage. If
the good opinion Of his associates in the SEN
ate, and the great respect which his character
and worth have attracted outside that Cham
Der, could exert influence at Richr1ond, there
would hardly be dissenting voice in the Leg
islature for his rctrrn.

Tho County Seat question Again.

The passage Of the Bill for the re-estab-
lshmcut Of the COunty-Seat at Cbarlestown
has created quite stir among few worthless
at Shepherdstown who fain would strip the
public teat a while longer. \ special meeting
Of the Supervisors was gotten up with indecent
haste on Tuesday last, whereat Senator hoonce
and Delegate Stubs figured extensively, hay
ing deserted their seats at the Capitol to rnanlp-
ulate the C0uuty-Scat question at Shepherds
town-as an offset to their failure at Charles
ton. No doubt it was at their instance it was
resolved to apply for an injunction to prevent
the removal Of the Clunty-Seat according to
the bill recently passed by the Legislature au-
thorizing such removal.
We scarcely think that a man endowed with
the amount Of common sense and discretion
possessed by Judge Hal will give his counte-
nance to SO ridiculous a measure by granting
the injunction applied for He will surely see
that such course viii only involve trouble
and expense and accomplish nothing more than
a little delay in the transfer of the records.
Before the Supervisors the Shepherdstown
clique, as 4 matter Of form merely, lSupcrvi-
sors Staley, Turner and Roderick doubtless
having already made no their minds to throw
obstacles in the way Of the law in this matter
were represented by Messrs. Van Swearingen
and Stubs, who did their best Thomas c.
Green, Esq, of this town, happened to be
present, and without fee, and undismaycd by
the formidable array Of legal light-weights-
Van Swearingcn and Stubs =" pitched in"
and 50 thoroughly and numerically pommeled
them that it would unquestionably have called
for the interference of Mr.. Bergh, the humane
President Of the Society for the prevention of
cruelty to animals, if he had only known what
was transporting.
To the honor of Supervisors Haiues aud
Gamsburs they earnestly protested against
the action Of the majority Of the Board-espe-
cially the employment Of counsel. without re-
gard to expense, for the prosecution Of tho ap-
plication for an injunction so clearly in oppo-
sition to the wishes of the people and in the
face Of the law and facts.
We believe it wasn't intended by the Presi-
dent Of the Board of Supervisors that the
Board should have a full representation at the
special meeting. But for the fact that re sent
a messenger to Mr.. Ramsburg-about nine
miles-he would have been left in ignorance
ofsaid meeting, the Clerk of the Board and the
President, too. well knowing that the mail
would not reach him until late in the after
noon Of the day of said special meeting. Read
cr, ponder the rascality of the whole proceed
ing Mr. Ramsburg manifested his sense Of
justice to the taxpayers of the county by
promptly repairing to Shepberdstown, not
withstanding the illness of his family, and
along with Mr.. Haines, protested against this
fresh outrage.

The Majority of the Senate.

The best legal talent Of the State Of West
Virginia are Of the opinion that the passage Of
our Couuty-seat bill by II votes after the res
isnation Of Senator johnson is perfectly valid.
On the announcement by the President Of
the result,-eleyen ayes, and noes niue-aud
that the Tin had passed, an appeal was taken
from the decision. The question was fully
discussed, precedeuts stated, and court dcci-
stems cited and the decision Of the chair was
sustained and declared to be the sense Of the
Senate Since that, two OF three other bills
have become laws 10y similar affirmative
vote, without objection being raised.
Messrs. Van Sweariugcu and Stubs dissent,
AID the Board Of Supervisors Of this County
arc guilty Of the absur,lity Of supposing that
Judge Hall viii grant the injunction applied
for.
