PENSION PROSPECTS.
A Letter on this Important Subject
from Congressman Lyman
to Commander Gross
of Allison Post.


WAsnINGToN, April 7, 'S6.
Dear Comrades. | am in almost
daily receipt Of letters from the old
soldiers asking me what has been
done, and what is likely to be done
in the present Congress, in reference
to pensions. | thought perhaps it
might be of interest to the boys OF
the Post for me to state in letter,
that all may see, or hear read, what
is the present prospect in that dircc-
ton, and if you think it of sufficient
interest to publish in your paper,
you may do so. There have been
numerous bills in reference to pen
sions introduced by different mem
bers OF the present Crongress, and
referred to the committee on Invalid
Pensions. That committee has either
reported to the House favorably or
has determined to so report, the fol-
lowing measures affecting the gener-
al pension laws:
/. A bill repeating the Imitation
or the Arrearage Act.
2. a bill increasing the pensions
of those who have become totally
deaf from injuries received in the
service.
8. A bill to place upon the pen
sion role all who have, or who may
hereafter become disabled, whether
their disability was from the result
of their military service or not.
4. Granting pensions to the de-
pendent parents of soldiers who
were killed in the service If they are
now dependent, though they might
not have been at the time of the en-
listment or death of the soldier.
5. Increasing the pensions of
soldiers who have suffered amputa-
tons of their limbs.
6. Pensioning all soldiers who
were captured and confined in the
military prisons of the South during
the war.
7. Granting service pensions to
the survivors of the Mexican war.
The prospect is good for passing
all OF the foregoing bills, although,
of course, it is not yet certain that it
may be accomplished. The fist
three of those mentioned are bills
introduced by myself, and you may
rest assured that | shall do all in my
power to secure their passage.
Yours In F., c., & L.,
7. LYMAN.

mediately organized as a court OF
impeachment to try eX-Auditor

attorneys for counsel at the expense
of the state, thus leaving him with
out the excuse that he is not well
and fairly dealt with by the adjudi-
Gators of his conduct. The court af.
ter transacting the preliminary bust
ness adjourned to reconvene at ,
o'clock p. M, May 10TH. 1t is de.
voutly to be hoped that when these

cial his devoted admirers will accept
the verdict without yilifying the in,
