Scarcely had the Speaker declared the bill car
ried than the Democrats were anxious to adjourn

the pensionng of Union soldiers, and which it had
cost yea and nay vote to put before the House. The
Democrats had been willing to take up at once and
rush through the Fitz John Porter BILL but they re-
fused to take up measure pensionirg Union soldiers
1t was characteristic piece of work. The RepuD,
cans compelled them To return to their seats ana
put themselves on record. Ot course tncy coulu
