THE MEXICAN PENSION ELL.


THE MEXICAN PENSION ELL.
On Saturday afternoon last Mr.. Town
shend, of Illinois,-an indctatigable friend
of the Soldier,-made strenuous effort to
get the Mexican Pension Bll before the
House for consideration. The enemies of
the bill, as usual, resorted to filbustering to
defeat it. First, r. O. Mills, of Texas,
moved to adjourn. This the House declined
to do by vote of 107 to 100 Then Mr.
Mills moved TO take a recess. After some
debate this was lost by vote of 64 to SO,
but the point was raised that no quorum
to adjourn. Mr. TownShend made the
point that Mr.. Mills could not renew
his motion TO adjourn, as no business had
been transacted since his previous motion
had been defeated. This was argued p lit
tie, when the Speaker decided that the con-
sideration of the motion to take recess
was transaction of business" Thereupon
1t was carried-yeas, So; nays, 50.
Mr.. Townshend called for the yeas and
nays These were ordered and resulted as

Speaker Carlisle directed the Clerk to call
his name, when he voted AYE"
The result is not at all discouraging.
With the Speaker there was only two
majority against the present considera-
tion of the bill, with 123 not voting.
There is every reason TO hope that when the
members weigh well the wishes of their con-
stituents, as expressed by the steady stream
of petitions pouring in daily from all parts
Of the country, that there will be enough
found On the right side to carry the bill
through triumphantly, with a handsome
majority.
ONE of the very best papers in the South
, is the steady, dignifed old Chronicle ana
, CoastdmiOnafist, of Augusta, Ga. 1t has al
ways been conducted with ability and kept
steadily abreast Of the times, no matter what
, the pace was. 1t is now completing its first
century Of existence,-it having been estab-
: lished in 17S5,-and it naturally proposes to
: do q little jubiiating over the attainment o.
an age as rare in newspapers as it is in indi.
yiduals. 1t will publish Centennial Edi.
r ton, which it promises to make worthy Of
itself and its history.
