- SENATE.
The committee on finance most.
poned further consideration of the
trade dollar bill until next December.
Tor the reason that the house bill re-.
quired an amendment and the concnr-
renee of the house could not be oh.
this session.
"A cabinet meeting for the considera-
ton of the Fltz John Porter bill was
postponed until tomorrow.
1t was agreed when the senate met
at ii O'Clock that the remainder of the
session should be devoted to the con.
slderation of the Mexican pension
bill.
Mr.. Wilson defended the amend
ments. The bill as amended. he said.
gave us a complete system that pro-
vided for the Union soldiers as well as
the Mexican soldiers, and that was
what we meant to have.
Mr.. Morgan said the present object
of the course was a political one to
press the Democrats to the wall to at
tempt :. to prove they were OBJ
posed to pensioning the Union SOL
dier, while the fact was they were not
satisfied 1t was the deliberate jrdg-
ment Of the Northern people hat such
a pension should now be paid. In the
course of his remarks Mr.. Morgan said,
Take the candidate for the presi-
dency; he was valiant talker in the
war, but he never went to the war; he
remained at home and accumulated
his million dollars, and his substitute
went to the war;

he got furlough and
remained at home.n After
abiding to the bravery of the
soldiers on both sides of the late war
Mr.. Morgan said: when you come to
speak of that heroic man from Illinois
nogan) who will stand second on your
ticket in the coming election, who was
n heroic man both in Mexico and the
late war; when you speak about his
plume, not the white plume of Ma
varre, but the red pompon of a soldier
dipped in the blood of his adversary;
when you come to speak of
that, in order that his heroism may
stand in its true colors, you must draw
in the background of the picture the
form of Confederate soldier fighting
valiantly for his cause; for If that SOL
der had been unpatriotic, half-heart-
ed, untrue, a man who had run from
his flag, John A. Logan's glory would
have been confined to his triumphs on
the battlefield of Mexico. We are all
Americans. lam proud ofthe men that
stood up against us in the war, ana
whatever other men that did not go to
war think, they are proud of us. too.
There is no difficulty in our fellow
ship, in our meeting, face to face, to
debate matters for the interests OF this
country"
