Pensions TO Old, Old Vets.

Representative Rice has been instructed by
the committee on invalid pensions to report
as substitute for all pending bills of the
same character, bill which has been adopted
by the committee to grant pensions for service
in the Mexican and sundry Indian wars
The bill provides for a pension of So per
month to all soldiers of the Mexican, Black
Hawk, and Florida wars who served not less
than thirty days, or who, in connection with
their service, have been mentioned by name
by congress; widows of soldiers who have
not since married, provided they were mar
ried at the time of the service of the soldier
through whom they may claim pension. The
bill provides for equalizing this class of pen
sions by increasing to So those which are now
of less amount. The only persons excluded
from the benefits of the bill by reason OF
having taken part in the war of the rebellion
are those who have since failed to take adj
vantage of the act of congress providing for
pardons, or who are by that act expressly ex-
cluded.
Representative Rice was instructed to ask
suspension of the rules for the passage of the
bill on the next committee suspension day.

MIR. PIntt,a Pension Ell.

Mr.. Platt yesterday reported from the COM
mittee on pensions bill which has an i'm
portant bearing upon many pending pension
cases. 1t is as follows: That nothing con-
tanned in the act entitled "An act to amend
section 1902 title 81, revised statutes of the
United States, and for other purposes ap-
proved August z, 1882, shall be construed or
operate to change the date of the commence
ment of widows PENSIONS as provided in the
second section of the act of March 3, 1879"
The act, the construction of which the bill
reported by Mr.. Platt is to define, provides
that in case of death or disability of soldier,
his widow or children shall be entitled to the
same pension as he would have been entitled
to, dating from his death or disability. The
act which this latter act amends provides that
unless the application for such pension shah
be made prior to the first of July, 1880, il
shall date with the application, and not with
the death or disability of the person on whose
account the pension is granted. There are
excepted from the limitation claims in behalf
of insane persons and children under 16 years
of age. Widows are now proposed by Mr.
Platt's bill to be also included within the
exceptions.

The Jones-sheiley Contest.

This case is still in subcommittee, and will
probably not be reported to the full committee
until after the holidays. Hon. John W. Jones
the contestant, was in the city on Tuesday and
had a satisfactory interview with republican
members of the committee on elections
Mr.. Jones is a colored man of fair ability
and has excellent business qualities. He was
nominated by the republicans of the fourth
district and elected for the short term by up
wards of ten thousand majority, running sew
eral hundred votes ahead of Judge Craig, the
republican candidate on the same ticket for
the long term. Mr.. Jones has returned to
Alabama for the purpose of taking evidence
to establish his right to the seat now held by
Mr.. Shelley, for which he intends to make a
vigorous contest. 1t is claimed, with good
show of proof, that the fourth district has an
admitted negro majority of fifteen thousand.
Mr.. Jones served in the Alabama state senate
for four years and Is at present postmaster at
Haynerville, Alabama. He owns considera-
BILE property in the counties of Lowndes and
Montgomery and is largely engaged in plant
ing and in merchandising,

The Telerrnnll BiII.

The bill introduced in the house by Repre-.
sentative Joyce, for the regulation of tele
graph and cable companies, provides that
every such company shall receive any message
from any other telegraph company and shall
transmit and deliver the same in good faith
and without discrimination, whether it shall
relate to the business of the company offering
it, or shall have been received from other per.
sons for transmission. Any company vioat-
ing this provision shall be liable to penalty
of $500 for every such violation. 1t also de-
clares that any employe of any company who
shall read, inspect, or examine any message
except such employees as must read it for the
purpose of transmission or delivery shall be
deemed guilty of a misdomeanor and shall be
liable to fine of not more than $500, or be
imprisoned not more than six months; pro-
vided that this section shall not apply to any
act done in obedience to any subpoena or other
legal process

Of Pacific railway bill providing for two
routes fully relied2 If anything were needed
to show the absurdity of the charge of "lobby-
ing bill for $3.50 through congress to assist
him in building q military road in Mime
sota," what has been said would show It.
Further than this, as has been stated, he had
been for some time, and then was, in the en-
ploy of the government, ordered to California
to carry on the work between that state and
Salt Lake, for which point he sailed within
two weeks, expecting at the time to remain in
California after the completion of the sum
mers work. What object would there have
been in his advocating an appropriation for n
road in Minnesota, or in calling on his friends
to help him in doing SOP Mr.. Potter's cham
pionship of that road" as the cause of the
quarrel is shown in the former part of this
letter to be equally unfounded The cause
was the interruption of the Lovejoy speech
and the incidents following it.
Mr.. Potter's acquaintance with Gen. Lander
arose from the fact that Mr.. Potter's cousin
married into his family. Is was this and the
belief that he could depend upon him in time
of need, although differing from him in poll
tics, that caused Mr. Potter to call upon him,
and equally caused Gen. Lander not to refuse
a responsibility which he could not under
the circumstances decline, and which he al
ways regretted having to assume. Some of
the parties to this controversy are dead.
One of the principals is said to be dying. No
shadow of disgrace, and, if they value it, no
shadow of suspicion of cowardice ought to
rest upon any one concerned. 1t comes up
now as relic of the past to show how we
have changed since then.
You, Mr.. Editor, will excuse the length of
this communication. 1t is partly in defense
of man who gave his life for his country,
as thousands of other men as good did also,
and left no child to defend his memory-a
memory cherished and held dear by his friends
and relatives; one which the public prints
of that country would not willfully attack,
and if by chance or by mistake it is done those
prints will, we feel sure, be desirous of at
once correcting their mistake. lam, sir, with
respect, your obedient servant,
