The Nottags Pension.

The Senate by strictly party vote
adopted the maturity report Of the COM
mittee on pensions on the veto Of the PEN
sion to Mary J. Nottage. The minority
report, made by Senators Whitthorne,
Camden and Wilson of Maryland, says
that the true soldier Of this country is the
idol or all parties and all sections, and
when misfortune OF any kind befalls him
the warm sympathy Of all hearts gathers
around him and his beloved ones with
ready impulses to aid and relieve him or
them. but that the President is to he conn
mended for his iabOrious undertaking 20
protect the generous system of pension
from the reproaches which admitted frauds
and abuses have brought upon it. and it
would seem to be grateful duty of every
member of congress to encourage him and
to seek to share with him this arduous but
commendable undertaking. One may
differ with the president as to his con-
clusions, but it is akin to madness to
ascribe to him unworthy motives in arriv-
ing at such conclusions. We recognize
the wisdom and fidelity Of the president
when. in the discharge of his constitutional
duty, he returned this and other bills
with his objections to their passage.
