The e1pcdiencY, from an economic point Of view.
Of giving pensions to the e1-Prcsidents OF tich
republics. 4 member Of the last Wars and
| Means Committee, of which (ambctta was The
| Chairman, sustained the affirmative. He bur-
! rowed what thought his most cosent arsu-
| ments from Gen. Grants triumphal tour
| through Europe. II Grant, on entering the White
| House, had had before him tile prospects Of
fa r pension, would ne on leaving it have been
rich enough to take his family about the world
