A Washington dispatch is to the fol-
lowing effect:
"The contest is lively over the location
Of the Pension Agency for the consolidat.
ed District, which incluiies the State Of
Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina
and Tennessee, each State claiming that it
should be locaded within its border. Ten.
nessee has 4,S42. pensioners; West Yir.
ginia $500; Virginia, 1853 and North
Carolina, 772; total, not enumerat.
ing about 800 in the Ohio counties which
are embraced within the limits OF the
District, 9,SG7. Secretary Schurz is trying
10 draw up some rules, which shall apply
in all cases as nearly as possible, for de-.
termining who Of the old agents shall be
retained-such, for instance, as that the
senior Agent in the Commission shall be
reappointed; or, the Agent living in the
statein which the new Agency shall be
located. This war between these States
appears 10 be likely 10 terminate in favor
Of Tennessee. Knoxville will probably
be selected as the location, and General
Harris, Of West Virginia, an old army
