The Opinion of an Eminent Jurist.
Hon. George F. Edmunds stands as the peer Of
any man in the Senate for ability and integrity and
the following are some of his views on the Bentley
Bill:
Mr.. President, wish to deny for the
pensioners who reside in the State of Vermont and
States the mputaton that 20 per 10 per cent
10 cent anything like the slightest degree
faudulent and should like to the proof of it.
should like to know what the nature of the proof is The
statute that has existed all the time under pension
laws authorizes the Commissioner of Pensions either with
or without the approval of the Secretary of the INTERIOR
do not remember which for this purposewhen-
ever he has to believe any pension Is e
gay payable stop the payment of it, He therefore has
held all the time in his hands the power of stopping
the payment of any pension that he believed to be
just frauduent one. Why does he not7 If he has
the evidence which satisfies him that 10 per cent. which
believe is his statement of the pensions that paid
fraudulent why does he not stop that per cent? why
does not somebody because the evidence Of fraud cannot
be found by general impression it must be found by
au aggregation of individual instances.
The fact that he has discovered $500 900 does not
that he could discover Million any than the fact
that You find that Senator In this body in years
gone by has been guilty of misconduct fraud implies
that probably there ten fifteen Just guilty
and you therefore to institute purge the
Senate. No such inference follows by any and
hence saw that if the Commissioner o Pensions usti
fed in saying to that there 10 per cent per
cent cent of these payments of that
fraudulent UNJUST he must if he is wise and If he is
honest IN his report have based that upon the nIorma
ton that he has to individual and fast he
has that information it is within his authority and 1t is
duty to stop the payment of pensions he does as Tar
as he We jumping, therefore, at conclusions,
and think very unusy to the body of the patriotic sol
dery of this country when give it forth to everybody
and everywhers by teraed and reiterated statements that
very large percentage of the pensioners of this Govern
ment during the late fraudulent punderers
of ts Government do not believe any such thing, and
do not believe there any proof of such thing but
because the Commissioner of Pensions has found here and
there of fraud he asks to presume, he pre-
sumes himself that there must be much larger number
more, just as said little while ago if we find once in
twenty years that there is Senator in this high body
who has been guilty of receiving brbes therefore it is
be presumed il you only had stringent methods you
would find all the certain proportion 10 is per
cent guilty Ideny the logic and deny the justine of
any such inference.

only a. 900 In April of that year the President
called rs 600 volunteers for three months defend
the capital which threatened and in May further
call for 900 made In July two calls for 500 600
each authorized by Congress- and this vast
force pro- id insufficient for the gigantic struggle which
America lad now embarked iD it found necessary to
introduce the conscrpton In October 1868, levy of
800 600 men ordered, and in February 1854 fur
ther call of 500 600 made. Finally IN the beginning
of 1865 further evies amounting in all to 800 600
men, ordered but only partially carried OUT in
consequence of the cessation of hostities The total
number of called under by the government Of
the United States. between April 1861, and April 1865,
