Senotor Blair Detected IN a Shreird At
tempt.

In the Senate on Saturday Mr.. Blair,
from the committee on pensions, submitted
report of twenty three pension bills vetoed
by the President, and recommending that
the bills be passed, Notwithstanding the
Presidents objection.
Senator Kenna asked if the paper pur-
ported to be the formal action of the COM
mittee. Senator Blair hemmed and hawed
and houndered and futtered, and finally
was forced to confess that he had attempted
to palm off a fraud, and that but two men,
bers of the committee, himself and another
republican, were present at the meeting at
which the paper referred to was prepared,
and that they were the only ones who knew
any thing about it.
Mr.. Camden read paper signed by him
self, Mr. Colquit, Mr.. Wilson, Nd and
Mr. Whitthorne. democratic members of
the committee on pensions, denying any
knowledge of Mr.. Blair's report or of the
order referred to. The report did not pre-
sent the views of the committee on these
vetoed bills, but only the views of Henry
w. Blair. The reasons assigned by the
President in vetoing each of these bills sep
arately did not call for gross critici SIN or
for the censure of the Senate. "From the
weight of objections" the statement pro-
ceeds, Offered by the President to each bill
he has felt himself constrained to veto, we
might find ample justification for what has
been unsparingiy denounced in said alleged
report. We do not find in any of the We
toes under review anything that indicates
on the part of the President want of JUS
tice or proper sympathy in the bestowment
of honors or rewards on our soldiers. We
believe he has desired to mete out justice in
all cases of meritorious claims submitted to
him. and we will not add to the censure of
the so-called report by attempting to prove
that the President is in proper sympathy
with all proper means and measures which
attest the appreciation felt by the country
for its defenders. But we cannot perceive
the merit of reasoning that would discrlmi-
nate in favor of pension bill by any legal
or moral requirement because the object OF
such bill is to reward a soldier or provide
for member of his family. There can be
no justification either for the President or
member of this body in bestowing bene-
faction when the law and the facts do not
justify it. Next to the injustice and IN
gratitude of totally ignoring the patriotic
soldier, who held his life as willing sacri-
flee for his country, would be the needless
and indiscriminate lavishing Of bounties
which ranks the pretender and undeserving
with the deserving hero. The brave and
devoted soldier must regard every reward
bestowed upon the undeserving as an injus-
tice and disparagement to himself"
Mr.. Kenna moved that the report, views
of the minority and all the papers be re-
committed to the committee on pensions for
consideration by that committee, and the
recommittal was agreed to.
