pension of $50 per month, which was
vetoed by the president,
Chairman Matson, of the
invalid pension committee, to-day
presented o report to the house, in which
he sustains the veto. He says the effect
of the bill would be to give $50 per
month more than the sum allowed by
the general law-that it is not alleged
that the widow needs aEy increase and
that the committee has barely tolerated
an increase OF pensions of the widows
of officers. 1t is also true that the
claimants application for a legal rate of
pension has bsen allowed by tie pension
officer The minority report,
signed by the republican
members of the committee. requests
the passage of the bill over the veto,
holding that it has been the inyariable
practice to pension at fifty dollars q
month the widows Of officers OF a rank
similar to that held by Gen. Hunter.
That the president had signed a number
OF such bllls during this session. Aside
from this case there is the case OF Gen.
Hancock's widow. There is no reason
for making an exception of this case.
