LIE VIRGINIA SOLDIERS OF TIE WAN O

The VIRGINIA SOLDIERS OF THE WAR OF
ISl2.-A part of the Virginia Congress
sional delegation in Congress-, beaded by
Senator Lewis and Representative Phtt,
were with the Secretary Of the Interior
and the Commissioner Of Pensions to-day,
asking II modification of the regulations for
obtaining pensions under the act providing
for pensions for service III the war of ISll
in southern States. by the act and reglll;t-
lions Hereunder, Il claimant is not only re
Qurcd to suow that he waS loyal during
the rebellion, but his two witnesses t.
prove his loyalty must show that they were
also loyal during the war.
This latter rcquisition is regarded by the
Virginia delegation as i hardship and an
unnecessary requirement, and they ask that
that part of it be modified by the Commits
sioner of Pensions. They say that there are
about . 900 pensioners now living in Nirsi
MIA alone, who are entitled to relief under
the act; that in the war Of 1872, Norfolk
and Washington both being Threatened,
Virginia necessarily contributed Il very
much larger number Of volunteers to the
amy and navy than all the other southern
States. The Secretary of the Interior has
the subject under advisement.-W Washing
