reported back from the committee with the reo-
ommendation that it do not pass. Messrs. Dun
can and Smedley were the chief champions of
the bill and made good fight in favor of its
was disabled In the war was unable to work
| upon the road and unable to give money to the
municipality or county It was recognition
and just favor to the disabled soldier of the
late war.
! MIR. NICKEUs
was opposed to this class of legislation. 1t was
mere pittance to the soldier and was not Of
the proper tone for the consideration of de-
Lucrative body. He was IN favox of lending all
the assistance possible to all old soldiers and
| pensioners, but was opposed to the passage Of a
| bill which would do th m no material good and
looked too much like very cheap compli-
ment.
MR. GAMBLE
made very good argument against the passage
of the bill. He argued with Mr.. Nickeus as to
| the objectionableness of such legislation, and
added that if pensioners were to be e1em pted
| from poll tax, he believed in extending the
same exemption to all old soldiers who fought
for the preservation of the union. The PEN
sioners are by no means all of the deserving
| ones. Hundreds of men, who are justly en-
titled to pension, are not receiving cent
| from the government, and if the gentlemen in
sist ON the passage of the bill, they should
have it apply GO all honorsbly discharged sol
diers.
MIR. HUETsoN
also spoke against the bill, and made strong
point on the number of soldiers who deserve
pensions and are not receiving it. He in
| favor of q re committal.
| At the close of the discussion the bill was
| re-committed..

pense MIR. Bowdle changed his vote, but sew
eral minutes elapsed before Mr.. Gamble made
